The Goldsborough Bill
PROPOSAL, as Passed by House, Seen Another
Psychological" Experiment to Restore Con-
fdence-But 1t Might Not Work.

down on the average from that price
level, you are Immediately confronted
with the fact that to fix a price,
whether you do it directly or indirectly,
is very difficult unless you control pro-
duction."
We'll" Mr.. Goldsborough said, 1--WE
canot do that"
no" Mr.. Meyer replied, "but it is
necessary before you can level prices"
Mr. Meyer also opposed any stipula-
tion as To the precise amount of bonds
to be purchased at regular intervals.
Sterilization OF prices Is not only
question OF the quantity OF bank credit
that Is available. he said. The We
locity Of the turnover of that same
volume and the use made OF it is very
important. At that stage there comes
in the element OF human judgment as
TO how far 10 60, how fast to keep 1t
up. when 70 stop and when to reverse"
At one point in his testimony Mr..
Meyer said the mandate in the bill
was equivalent to ordering man to
run 100 yards In 10 seconds when such
a feat is a physical impossfbility for
him.
One expert for the Federal Reserve
Board called the committees attention
to the virtual impossibility of forcing
currency into the business channels OF
the country.
The Federal Reserve banks" he
said, can issue Federal Reserve notes
only to the extent that the notes are
required by the country. II. for ex-
ample a dealer sells bonds for Federal
Reserve notes. and has no use for this
money. he deposits 1t in his bank and
through this bank they Immediately
come back into the Federal Reserve
System"
Mr. Goldsborough has spent years
studying the problem of stabiliZing the
price level and he feels that his bill at
the least, must be regarded as an hon
est effort to remedy the present situa-
ton. Although he attaches great weight
to the views Of its opponents, he be-
lieves the bill will produce the desired
results. In any event he feels that 1t
is something, and that something Is
better than nothing at a time when
business conditions are growing stead
lily worse.
When the bill comes up in the Senate.
it will be bitterly opposed by those who
think it is thinly disguised inflation-
airy step calculated to produce revolu-
tionary and dangerous changes in our
monetary system.
In view of the hopes and fears. claims
and counter-claims of the experts. 1t is
exceedingly difficult for most observers
to see how the measure, If it becomes
law, can have any great effect in re-
storing confidence throughout the coun-
try as whole.
And, according to its author, II 1t
fails Of this. 1t will accomplish nothing.

CONTROLLER BERRY
ASSA|LS WALKER
Officials in Open Break as
Mayor Is Accused of
ToIerating Graft.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May IA terse state
ment seething with inferences that
Mayor Walker had tolerated graft and
corruption was hurled at the mayor
today by Controller Charles w. Berry.
1t marked apparently an open break
between the two city officials.
The statement, in reply to one In
which the mayor accused the controller
of conspiring with those enemies of
the public"-the Hofstadter Investigat-
ing Committee was interpreted by
some as indicating Berry would attempt
to lead faction of insurgent Demo-
Gratis.
Berry Voices His Stand.
Berry gave his point Of view in these
words:
Il am a Democrat and have been
in the service of the Democratic party
for nearly 40 years and 1 assert that
the loyal, honest Democrats in this
city do not believe that graft and cor
ruptiOn are assets of their party or
that those who oppose such things in
our Government are in any sense public
enemies.
Il believe any one who calls himself
Democrat and who tolerates such
contemplate practices as have been de-
scribed on the front pages OF the daily
newspapers for weeks past does not
truly represent the Democrats of the
city of New York, and let me add that
the rank and file of the Democratic
organization in the five boroughs re-
sents this condition of affairs just as
emphatically as l do"
Deputy Controller In Clash.
Mayor Walkers attack on Berry was
made yesterday at a board of estimate
hearing on Queens bus franchises
Deputy Controller Prial. examining one
of the advocates of certain companies,
was interrupted by the mayor and re-
torted: Il want these proposed fran
chises cleared up now l don't want to
be invited to the State building five
years from now to explain why they
were granted"
You won't have to wait five years"
the mayor replied You'll be break
ing in to testify If you follow the prece-
dent heretofore established You belong
out there in the gallery. This attitude
almost indicates a rehearsal before
hand with those enemies of the public
who have made vituperative and false
statements about this board of esti-
mates and its members"

FLOCK OF GENES

croscope, which biologists assumed con-
tanned the genes. In the living plant,
DIR. BeIling states, a coat OF SCalnaDle
matter forms about the genes so thick
and viscid that it can be pulled out
into long strings. This is called
chromomere. Chains of chromomeres
make up the chromosomes. There are
"a pairs of chromosomes in each Nv
ing lily cell, each consisting of numer-
Gus chromomeres with the genes as
their nucleus.
Speaking of his discovery DR.. Belling
said: "A minute cell sphere with It's
1900 gene pair suggests the celestlai
sphere visible to the unatded eye ana
containing fewer than 5000 stars which
can be seen at one time. Genes exert
specific influences on the life OF the
organism in question, whether lily or
a man. These influences are so great
that if the effects of all the thousands
of genes in a given organism were aodeo
together nearly the whole OF lts IN
heritance would be accounted Ar."
Appear to Be in Troops.
The genes, according to the Carne-
gle statement issued yesterday, appar-
emily work together in troops. ThuS
the red eyes of fruit fly, the animal
on which most heredity studies have
been conducted, is due to a troop OF al
least so. The wing of the same insect
constitutes a complex requiring the IN
teraction of at least 100.
Each gene, in turn, may atfect many
characters. Thus the change OF single
cne in the fruit fly may result In col
orleSs eve or it may change the snade
of red. The same general enecS are
believed to hold true for man.
Genes" says the Carnegie statement,
have been described as discrete packets
of different chemical substances-per-
hapS supermolecules-bo bound together
loosely in chains Each chain constl-
tutes a separate chromosome made up
of an enormous number of these packets
of heredity. Through the various pro-
cesses taking place in the cell these
packets are paired, distributed and re-
assembled into new combinations, OBEY
ing certain definite laws Of heredity."
In obtaining a glimpse Of the minute
bodies DR.. Belling not only employed
the highest magnification possible but
developed special form of staining cal
cuated to bring out the most minute
details He was able to see, under the
microscope, some of the actual move
ments OF the chromomeres which ntted
nicely into the theoretical explanations
and continuance Of which, he believes:
VIII throw much light On the actual
mechanism Of heredity.

FINAL L|NDBERGH
BABYDR|VE. BEGUN
"DeadIine" Reported Set for
Monday as Negotiators
Make Supreme Effort.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, May with only
brief glimpses Of their movements OBJ
tanned through the ever-tightly drawn
veil of secrecy, John Hughes Curtis and
his assistants we're believed prepared
tonight for final and supreme drive
to complete negotiations for the return
of the Lindbergh baby.
The report of 'deadline" being set
for Monday, the possibility Of which
was admitted by one Of the inter-
mediaries, added to the feeling Of
tenseness connected with the ma
neuvers Of the Norfolk negotiatorS.
Curtis and his party have been putting
out to sea in the yacht Maroon almost
daily, presumably to make contact with
the kidnapers.
His associates, Very Rev H. Dobson-
Peacock and Rear Admiral Guy H. Bur-
rage, retired, are preserving in utmost
secrecy the progress of Mr.. Curtis work.
Dean Dobson-Peacock said tonight he
had conferred again with Lieut. George
L. Richard, naval officer assisting Mr..
Curtis, but refused to give any details
concerning the conference.
Mr.. Curtis has been accompanied on
his frequent trips on board the Maroon

also connect Col. Lindbergh with the
negotiations here. either as member
of the yacht party or as passenger
aboard the naval planes which usually
are observed flying toward the Virginia
capes during the trips made by the
Maroon.
Lieut.. Richard was reported to be
away from his Office and home today,
but it could not be definitely ascer-
tanned If the Maroon had made another
secret trip.
Monday, the day which the Ledger
Dispatch said it learned was set as the
"deadline" for negotiations unless new
developments came in the meanwhile,
also will mark the end Of the second
month since Curtis first entered into
the case as a negotiator.

SOVIETS DENY CHARGE.
Claim Doume- Assassin Is Arch Foe of
World Communists.

MOSCOW, May (R.-The Com
munist International, representing the
Communist parties of all nations, pro-
tested in a statement tonight against
what it called the identification by an
official French communique of President
Doumers assassin as Communist
agent.
The declaration Of a French official
that he believed the assassin, DR.. Paul
Gorgulov was involved in Bolshevist
group was described as "slanderous"
attempt to absolve Russian White (anti-
Soviet Guards of guilt
The statement was signed by repre-
sentatives Of the Communist parties of
Soviet Russia, France, Germany, Eng
land. CzecboSlovakia and Italy.
Not to speak of the fact that Cor
gulov is a most deadly enemy of Com
munism. as appears in his pamphlet
and testimony, the world knows that
the Communist International, being an
international mass organization of the
working class, always most resolutely
rejected and still rejects, in accordance
with its program, individual terrorist
acts" the statement said.
Soviet newspapers will publish what
they describe as part of Gorgulov's late
history, saying he is head of the ALI
Russian National Peasants" otherwise
known as the Agricultural Party of the
Greens" and stamping him as an active
counter-revolutionary and enemy Of
Bolshevism.
The contention is made here that the
effort to represent Gorgulov as "Neo-
Bolshevist" was just another attempt to
@efend White Guard terrorist seeking
to worsen relations between the Soviet
Union and other countries.

Veterans Aid Reviewed.
The report continues in regard to
veterans that great liberality has
characterized the treatment of veterans

and municipal subdivisions of States

relief, State soldiers homes. other

World War veterans, the large amount
of s649 ,86O585.
THE Government of the United
States has already paid on account of
veterans of the World War up to date
$4,000, 10000 and according to the
testimony Of Gen. Hines, if we con-
tinue at our present rate, with no
authorizations increasing our present
commitments by 1945 we will probably
expend for World War veterans $21, :
500 000000 which will about equal the
cost of our participation in the World
War
we have spent for veterans of all
other wars previous to the World War
up TO date in all the history of the
country only S8,O00000,O00
1T can therefore not be seriously
! contended that the Government has

was our participation in the World

Never Cites Difficulties.

While testifying before the commit
tee in charge Of the bill, Gov. Eugene
Meyer Of the Federal Reserve Board
pointed out some practical oifticslties
in the path of the proposed legislation.
Although fayoring the purpose OF the
bill, he said it IS extremely difficult to
fix prices unless production can be con-
trolled.
With respect to the suggestion that
prices be restored to the 1925 level, Gov.
Meyer pointed out, You must remem-
Der that, when you talk of this opera
ton as sufficient to control a price level
at any particular point, you are think
ing in terms Of a price level which
was established by the greatest build
ing activity in the history Of the coun-
try. 1t may be that it is the rtghi price
level, but it was established by a very
extraordinary background of building
activity. 1t may be the price level 10
which the world will return and it may
not. But If you can get the ideal Of n
fixed price level which you can control

One of the justice court cases,
the suit of L. Ortiz against Charles
Ellis for $299.99 on labor claim,
already has been mentioned in su-
perior court. This was when Ellis
was denied a writ of mandate to
prevent a change of venue from
Calexico to Brawley, which had
been granted by Judge w. H. Lor-
enz.
Now Ortiz, loser in justice court,
is appealing to the superior court
for a hearing of the entire case.
Harry Horton represents Ortiz and
w. E. Abraham is attorney for
Ellis.
The other appeal filed yester-
day afternoon is that Of E. A. Lee,
represented by j. Edgar Ross, from
a Brawley justice court judgment
in favor of N. c. Deaton, acting as
his own attorney, for $60.90e on
