Mills warned the committee the
public works provision would "au-
tomatically unbalance the budget by
$500. .0Oo,0 600
He referred to the proposed $780,
100000 construction appropriation
as the creation of "a special or eX-
traordinary budget" and added the
committee apparently was contem-
plating 'undoing all the work Of
the special economy committee" ."
The fundamental objection to
this section is that il re-
sorts 10 the unsound device Of an
extraordinary budget: that it breaks
down a sound financial policy pur-
sued since the beginning OF the
government" he said.
Hurley Caustic
Hurley became caustic as he re-
ferred to the Sl00,000.0OO mercy
money in the Garner bill as "a
dole. He called employment to be
derived from the rivers and har-
bors and flood control projects in
the program only a drop in the
bucket
The so-ealle6 mercy money would
be used fer emergency relief.
Hurley had 8 sharp exchange of
words with Representative Vinson
DEM Kentucky, who sought to
learn what the answer is to the
unemployment erisis?"
Did You call ne here for that?"
asked Hurley.
Yes. replied Vinson.
The secretary then said govern
ment expenses must be cut TO with
in its income and that's what this
bill doesn't do
Hurley's reference to a dole
brought an angry answer from Rep
resentatiYe Lewis (Dem0 MARYLAND.
4 regret that you dispose of such
sacred subjects by an epithet.'
shouted Lewis.
4 say again it is insolent to any
man who makes a living TO offer
the dole, and it is insulting to the
soul of labor" said Hurley his face
flushing as he hammered the table
for emphasis.
What we need to do is reduce
the hours Of labor and put men to
work"
Why don't you help us do that
then?" asked Lewis.
That's what I am trying to do, |
that's what we all are trying to do,"
shouted Hurley.
Mills attempted to point out to
the senate committee that an un-
balanced budget would cause a
further shock to public confidence

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NE w YORK, June .. U.P) -
Belief that the Young committee
recently appointed by the New
York federal reserve bank COVER
nor was working on plans TO form
a pool to support the bond market
brought q rally in stocks. bonds,
/ grains and cotton on their respec-
1 tive markets today.
The rally in stocks came after
8 sharp decline headed by the
/ utility issues, nearly all of which
had dropped into new low ground
with losses ranging to nearly 6
points. Steel led the upturn. Oils
were firm despite failure of the
conference of leaders in the indus
try on international markets. Rails
firmed up on expectation of ample
aid for the carriers in their July
maturities.
Before the upturn. American
Telephone made a record low at
S27s. 1t later came back to above
Sc. Steel common equaled its low
since 1907 and then rallied to
above 81, against a previous close
of 26. Tobacco shares made sub
Stantial rallies.
The rally in rails was impressive,
resulting in net gains of more than
two points in AtchiSon and Union
Pacific and a point in Chesapeake
and Ohio, the latter swinging ahead
after equalling its low record.
Woolworth rose more than
points from its early low. Sears
Roebuck rose nearly a point while
Montgomery Ward gained frac-
tionally.
Early utility selling followed
weakness in this group yesterday.
Another item which brought
selling in the early dealings was
the huge gold loss yesterday
to more than S44,o0000O
and anticipation of further gold
shipments in the next few days
During May, the United States
lost s216OOO.0OO in gold either by
export or earmarking for foreign
account.
Call money held at the 212 per
cent rate where apparently it has
been pegged although the rate gov
erned by the law of supply and
demand would be considerably
lower.
LOS ANGELES, June 2. UH =
Most issues were irregular during
an active session of the Los An
geles stock exchange today.
Pacific Western was the most

KIDNAPERs ARE CHASTITY TRIBE, ELSIE ROBINSON FINDS

met there in a stark moment
Sunday morning when Q sobbing
child fled headlong into welcom-
ing arms and two guilty souls
rode, unpursued, away.
Kidnapers' Quandary
Their need had been as terrible
as hers. The death that threat
ened her, was close and certain
after them. Whom could they
trust? Not never!-their own kind
Nor. certainly, the law. All
night Friday, all night Saturday,
lights had burned in every police
station in Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania. Headed by grim Superin-
tendent of Public Welfare George
Black, of Wilmington, detectives
were closing in, in a narrowing
circle. Where could they turn
whom could they trust?
One person only-the man him
self a stranger, but the thing
behind the man familiar to every
soul on earth-Father Pugliese Of
the Roman Catholic Church.
So the phone rang-once, twice,
thrice, behind the brown door.
What exactly did they say? No
one will ever know. The plea
of a sinner, even though 1t be
not heard in a confessional, is
sacred to a priest. So they went
their way-Safe.
Promise Kept
But they left the child safe
behind.
Eyes, 1t Is good" says Father
Pugliese, his thin, dark face
glowing. Then with deeper
joy, ut is good the church
could do that for a little child.
And now perhaps"
Nov perhaps there may be q
way for those other kidnaperS
Of the little Lindbergh baby.
Maybe they want q way but
do not know how to find it
think there is no place where
they can be safe. Now per-
haps they will know they can
be safe with a priest-any
place, anywhere. Could you
tell them that through the
paperS-maybe? Make it so
they will un 'rStand. Tell
them they will be perfectly safe
here"
Safe in the house of God
even a kidnaper!
