In q public appeal to Congress

T. Robinson, Democratic leader
of the Senate, this afternoon as
sailed the American Red Cross,
demanded immediate enactment

suggested the creation of a new

He declared the Red Cross had
"discredited itself" by announcing
it did not desire to handle funds
appropriated by Congress, and
flayed the Presidents attitude.
He said the Citizen Hoover"
had not hesitated to ask Con-
gress to. appropriate $120,000, 900
to feed starving foreigners, but
now, as President Hoover has re-

made to feed starving Americans.

Liberalized Liquor Rules
For Doctors Ordered

Commission, and stated that they
had been determined upon long
before the report had been made
public.
The most important new regu-
lation relating to physicians is
one which relieves them from the
necessity of writing on prescrip-
ton blank the nature of the
ailment for which liquor is
prescribed. Hereafter this re-
uuirement will be waived, al
though the physician will be
compelled to keep a confidential
record relating to his patient.
Escapes Friction
Under the old regulations both
physicians and dentists were al
lowed two gallons of medicinal
alcohol yearly. This allowance
is not changed by the new rule
and continues in effect, it was
said today.
The prohibition unit, it was
said today, is trying to eliminate
all irritation and friction in its

Treasury Head Under Fire
BY Senator Couzens When
Upper House Hears Opinion

Complete disorganization of the
Government and other security
markets, with serious consequences
not only to the public credit but
the entire economic structure Of
the United States would result
from the flotation of SO, 400, ,000, 900
in bonds necessary to finance
cash payment of the face value
of veterans adjusted service
certificates. Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon told the Senate
Finance Committee today.
Mellon appeared at a hearing
on bills proposing payment OF
the. bonus Immediately as
means toward stimulation of
business and relief of veterans
out Of work.
SS75,OOO,OOO Deficit
In connection the Government
finances, Mellon disclosed that
the Treasury now anticipates q
deficit of 1915, ,000, 900 during tha
fiscal year ending June 80, that
the public debt will be reduced
by only $65, 100000 and that
income tax receipts may fall
below the estimates.
Referring to the bond issue
Mellon said:
Coming at this time such
action would seriously retard a
business recovery, and so pro-
long unemployment, which to-
day is bringing misery and
want to so many of our fel-
low cOuntrymen.
How the veterans and their
families, who after all are an
inseparable part of the Ameri-
can people and whose prosper
ity and welfare are inextrica-
bly, bound up with the pros
perity and welfare of all, can
hope to find relief and i'm
prOVement in their condition
from the universal and de-
Structive consequences which
these measures would entail is
beyond COmprenenSlOn.
Cites Bond Holders
Mellon said that it must be
obvious that the sale of Govern
ment securities in such volume
at much higher interest rate
than the yield based on the
price at which Government bonds
are now selling must Immediately
depreciate very materially the
price of all United States bonds.
