SET
FOR BANKING
PROGRAM
Glass Bill Nears; Rep. SteagaII
Committee Ready to Take
Up Credit Plans

Early consideration of far
reaching banking legislation,
including the half-billion-dol-
lar credit corporation proposed
Hoover, was assured today by
congressional leaders.
With Senator Glass CD Of
Virginia preparing to introduce
a banking bill in the Senate next
week, Democratic spokesmen in
the House promised that its bank
ing committee would begin to
function in a few days.
Ready to Cooperate
Although Democratic leaders
opposed the Administrators tax
program, they indicated a willing
ness to cooperate with Govern
ment officials in developing a
banking program.
Representative Steagall CD Of
Alabama, slated to head the
House Banking Committee, an
nounced that a measure appro-
priating 100000, 900 to restore
impaired capital of federal land
banks would be the first measure
considered by the committee.
The bill of Glass. worked out
by a special subcommittee, will
contain strong provisions to pre-
vent federal reserve credits being
Used for speculation but. is ex-
pected to contain few changes in
the reserve act.
Glass has already disclosed
opposition to marked liberaliZa-
tion of rediscount privileges.
Home Bank System
Republican leaders are bring
ing pressure both in Senate and
House to obtain early hearings
on the Reconstruction Credit
Corporation and the Home Dis
count Bank System bills, both
Administration measures.
Representative Steagall has al
ready conferred with Comptroller
of the Treasury j. w. Pole, who
is urging branch banking legisla-
ton, and said he was studying
the reconstruction corporation
proposal.
The home loan discount bank
system urged by Mr.. Hoover was
laid before the Senate by Senator
Watson (RO of Indiana.

NAVY CUTS GIVE
ADDED WORK

The strict economy policy Of
the Navy Department has in
creased the work of the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts rather
than decreased it, according to
]. j. Cheatham, paymaster gen.
eral of the Navy.
Resources of the bureau have
been heavily taxed to provide the
more detailed reports necessary
under reduced appropriations, said
Cheatham's annual report today.
Revision of the phraseology of
the appropriation bill was urged
as one means of clarifying the
work of the bureau.
The sale of .48 condemned YES
sells and 16 submarines brought
only $442, ,689, less than $1,000 for

HOOvER'S PLAN
To GUT DEBTS
IS DOOMED
Both Parties Oppose Program;
Advance Pledges Alone
Save Moratorium
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Congress Will reluctantly rat
ify President Hoover's interna-
tional debt moratorium for one
year-but any extension of it
will meet with stiff opposition.
And as for further scaling down
of debts suggested by Mr.. Hoover
in his message Thursday, such a
tidal wave of opposition to it
rolled up in both Houses today
as to make it appear almost i'm
possible.
Debt Board Opposed
Indeed, it appeared question
able today whether Congress will
even re-create the World War
Debt Commission, as proposed by
Mr.. Hoover. A number Of Sena-
tors and Representatives stated
publicly they would oppose it, and
a great many more said privately
they would DO likewise when the
time came.
Opposition to further reduction
in the debts was confined to no
party and no group. 1t broke
through party lines and en-
braced all factions, Democratic,
Republican and Progressive.
Widespread Opposition
For the regular Republicans,
Senator Watson, the Senate lead
er, and Representative Will
Wood, one of the StauncheSt
Administration leaders, declared
their opposition to further con-
cessions to Europe. Watson said
he was against an extension of
the moratorium, and Wood de-
clared he would never vote to
cancel or reduce a dollar" of the
debts.
Senator Borah [RO, of Idaho,
and Senator johnson (R0, of
California, were among the Pro
gressives who spoke in similar
vein.
On the Democratic side, such
conservatives as Senator Swanson
of Virginia, Representative Crisp
of Georgia, and Representative
GLd1AhA14 VI MAoOAooApPA, uCCAdA Gu
their antagonism to reduction or
cancellation.
With the Treasury facing de-
ficits of $3,540,000,000 during the
next two fiscal years, according
to President Hoover's budget mes
sage and with the Administration
calling for a Acknowledgements
tax increase, the temper of Con-
gress is plainly against any fur
| ther concessions to Europe.

GiUen 80 Days
For Stealing Watch

Accused of stealing a watch

Fourteenth st. S. E., and Clar-
ence K. Price, 26, of 1926 E st.

HIRAM JOHNSON
FAVORED FOR
I CANDIDATE
Insists President Will Meet
Defeat at Polls If He
Runs Again

Horace Mann, who was man.
ager of Herbert Hoover cam
paign in the Southern States
in 1928 has started his drive
against Hoover and, now that
Congress has convened IS 90
thering about him a varied as
semblage of anti-Hoover Re-
publicans and insurgents.
Mr.. Mann began preparing for
this campaign soon after Hoover's
victory. Dissatisfied over patron
age matters. Mann for several
months has been building up an
organization opposed to Hoover's
denomination in 1882.
He spent the summer at Linn
vile, N. c., where he had many
conferences with political leaders.
and, it is learned, his offices in
the Munsey Bullolne ,4e4~
now headquarters for a nation
wide campaign to prevent
Hoover'S nomination.
Supporters of Gov. Pinchot, OF
Pennsylvania, who likewise is out
side the regular Republican or
ganization, have urged him as an
anti-Hoover candidate. Senator
Hiram johnson, of California,
another irreconcilable, is believed
to be favored as Mann's candi-
date, although johnson thus far
has not put himself forward for
the Presidency. The name of
Charles G.. Dawes, Ambassador
to Great Britain, also has been
mentioned.
Mann insists that if Hoover is
re-nominated by his party in
1882 his defeat at the polls Is
certain.

had our midday meal in Hamp-

Hilton early because Jenny
wanted to get her mother a
new dress. said: BY all
means, here is S4O-get her two
dresses and a hat.
The professor gave his wife
$100 a month as an allowance, he
revealed, and all she had to
spend out of it was for gas and
oil for the car.
They were planning to motor
home from Virginia to Knoxville,
Tenn, and wanted to save as
much money as possible. There
fore, the next day, September II,
they decided to take a picnic
lunch to the beach.
Didn't Get Along
The morning before they left
for the beach, Jenny did not
come down to breakfast, because
she never ate with her father, w.
C. Graham, he declared. They
did not get along we'll.
Also, Jenny said her mothers
breakfasts were "all grease" &C.
cording to the professor. That
was why she did not eat.
Mrs. Graham has testified that
her daughter acted that morning
as if something terrible" had
happened, affecting her so badly
she had no appetite. Kane went
on:
Jenny had a headache and
we stopped at a drug store
while she got something for it.
It had been very hot and we
did not sleep well the night
before.
1--WE got down to the beach
about 8 o'clock, julge. We
always went near the Light
house because it threw a shadow
we could sit in during the
heat Of the day.

as we got there. Jenny swan
about so feet on her back. She
did rather well on her back,
although she was afraid to
swim face down. Whenever she
got nervous she would call get

Jenny was braver than she
had been. She would dive

say, 6 inches"
They played on the beach and
chased the dog up the beach, he
related, Mrs. Kane called the dog

Before lunch, they put the dog
away in the car, so he would not

SEABURY PLANS
! WALKER TIN
Box PROBE
Hofstadter Committee Head
Charges Mayor Of NY. Aided
Sherwood to Escape Quizzing

NEW YORK, Oct/$0 GN.S).-
Mayor James j. Walker, revealed
today as one Of the growing list
Of city officials who own a "tin
box" eventually will be called
as a witness in the city-wide
investigation conducted by the
Hofstadter legislative committee
Samuel Seabury, committee coun-
Gil, publicly intimated.
However, Seabury said he first
wanted to question Russell T.
Sherwood, linked by new evidence
rs sharing the safe-deposit vault
housing the "tin box" Of Mayor
Walker, whom he called the
Mayors personal financial agent.
Sherwood was under subpoena,
served on him in Mexico City, to
appear before the committee. Sea-
bury proposed today to apply for
o court order to have Sherwood
declared in contempt.
Under the law, fine Of $780,
900 may be imposed on a witness
defying a legislative committee
subpoena. His property in the
State may be attached to satisfy
such a fine If it is not paid.
The mayor refused to COM
ment on the testimony he had
rented the safe deposit vault
Jointly with Sherwood; that Sher-
wood had a key to it, and that
Fred C. Harris, connected with
the Manhattan Company, now
possessed a key to the same vault
housing the 'tin box"
Harris today, likewise, declined
to discuss the evidence adduced
at the public hearing yesterday,
or the statement made by Sea-
bury that a man named Harris
had talked to Sherwood by tele-
phone in Mexico City and later
communicated with the mayor.
Seabury openly charged Mayor
Walker was instrumental in keep
ing Sherwood out of the COM
mittee'S Jurisdiction.
