LANCASTER, N. H., March Ia
Coos County today remained impris-
oned by the monotonous miles Of drift
ed snow that fell during the southeast
storm of Sunday night.
Gangs of tired highway workers
dragged themselves from their homes
to stalled plows; physicians made their
calls on snowshoeS and toboggans, and
scores of motorists settled down to face
another day Of dull existence in the
confines of farmhouse walls. There
was little hope that the roads could
be broken out before Saturday.
While fears of food shortage had
been allayed, there was no end Of diff
ficulty in getting supplies through.
Farmers, unable to ship their dairy
products, have thrown away thousands
of gallons of milk daily.
The 20-foot drifts that line the coun-
ty. def1ed every effort of man or ma
chine. Dynamite has been used IN
quantities of four cases to each 300
feet of roadway, Rotary plows. oper-
ated by potion tractors, have become
hopelessly halted by the solid walls OF
snow.

ARMY To PROBE
PROMOTIONS
Times Staff Photo

Dissension over promotion con-
ditions in the Army personnel has
caused Mai. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, chief of staff, to appoint
a special committee, headed by
Col. F. w. Patterson, retired, to
prepare entirely new legislation
covering the subject.
FactiOnalism in the service over
the promotion problem is now
given the entire blame by the
War Department for the failure
of the joint Army and Navy pay
bill to make any headway in the
last Congress.
Major General Macarthur is de-
termined to weed out the service
jealousies" and to do all possible
to expedite pay increase legisla-
ton.
Complications have arisen in
the House over the fact that the
Interdepartmental Pay Board and
the Military Affairs Committee
have overlapping jurisdictions
with regard to the consideration
of both pay and promotion legis-
lation.

Despite the fact that Congress

of data which may result in a
radical change in the fiscal rela-

here. Those in other cities, and
possible sources of District in

been tapped.
Other Nations Studied
One of the principal subjects
of investigation is the relation

The Mapes committee will give
consideration, in preparing it's re-
port, to methods employed by
other countries in dealing with
the extraordinary expenses placed
upon their capitals by reason of

Determined to Reintroduce
Act Vetoed by Hoover; Cry
of Socialism Is Answered

Senator Robert F.. Wagner,
D), of New York, who in the
last Congress won enactment Of
two bills for relief of ',he unem-
ployment and saw his third killed
by presidential veto, is prepar-
ing to add a fourth measure, one
calling for unemployment inSur-
ance to his labor program.
The New York Senator is de-
termined that his bill creating an
unemployment exchange, recently
vetoed by President Hoover, shall
be reintrOduced in the new Con
gress and PASSED.
The two other bills provided
for long-range planning of Gov
ernment works and for the gath
ering of accurate statistics on
unemployment.
Socialism Cry ScOrned
Speaking of the widespread un-
employment, Senator Wagner to-
day declared:
"Classing such legislation as
socialism is only begging the
question. The need for help
for worthy workers unemployed
through no fault of their own
cannot be met by bread Lines.
A fund set aside by the govern
lnent from contributions of
both workers o~z employers
produces the only dignified
answer. A worker, if he has
contributed to an insurance plan
of that character, need feel no
loss of seIf-reSpect when he

RECEIVERS LIST.
FIRM s DEBT At
S1,972,457
Assets $3,149,565 Against
$5,122,023 Liabilities; May
Pay Clients 6Oc on Dollar

Debts of the bankrupt Swart-
zell, Rheem and Hensey Company,
mortgage banking house, exceed
the assets of the firm by $1,972,-
457.82, the report filed by the re-
ceivers, Major Julius I. Peyser
and Henry P. Blair, with Fred j.
Eden, referee in bankruptcy, to-
day, discloses.
The assets of the concern which
was declared bankrupt last Janu-
ary, total $3,149,565.85. The Iia-
bilities reach S5.122,O23.6O. This
shows that creditors of the firm
will only realize about so cents on
the dollar.
Report ~VOluminous
The report is a voluminous one
consisting OF more than 100
pages. Approximately one-third
of the volume is required to list
the names of holders of notes
which have been released and
paid and which have not been
credited to the accounts of
holders. The receivers state in
the report:
"We found in the vault a
number of metal boxes and
packages in the names of in
dividualS, as well as a number
of file boxes which appear to
contain notes, securities and
valuable papers, all of which
appear to be the property of
customers. These were not
listed and are not contained in
the report"
The above, it is thought pos
sible may include original notes
for which customers simply were
given receipts.
Notes Sought
The receivers, since the firm
crashed. have been beseieed by
customers of the firm who
claimed that they had left the
original notes, for which they
had given their savings, with the
company for safe keeping.
Creditors and attorneys repre-
senting large number of clients
who were customers of SWartzell,
Rheem and Henesey, eagerly
studied the detailed report which
was filed this morning.
At a meeting OF creditors Satur-
day Major Peyser. and Mr.. Blair,
receivers, were elected trustees to
wind up the affairs of the COM
pany. They expect to post $780,
900 bond today and qualify for
trusteeship.
Creditors To Meet
Further meetings of creditors
are to be held in the near
future. The first of these, it was
announced by Mr.. Eden, will be
an examination of the company
officers at 1920 a. m. Saturday
in the District Supreme Court
Building.
Only those creditors who have
proved their clans are permitted
by statute to take active part in
the meetings. Creditors have
until July o., six. months from
the date the firm went into the
hands of the receivers, in which
to prove their claims. Many
have hesitated to do this through
fear that by such action they
might forfeit the securities they
now hold.
Notes which has been released
and which have not yet been
credited to customer accounts
total $1,988,450.
