CRITICAL OF PRESIDENT
"The remainder of the $780,
100000 is to be tvailabIe for ex.
penditure upon permanent i'm
prOvement projects to be Sc
lected by the President. for
which appropriations have here
tOfOre been made or shall be
made for expenditures during
the fiscal years 1882 or 1933."
Wagner took the President to
ask for his opposition to a
Government bond issue for finan
;ing public works. The Senator
said:
"The first objection is that
1t involves {. borrowing.
every business man distin-
guiShes between borrowing to
pay current expenses and Dor.
rowing for necessary perma-
nent improvements and capital
expenditures. The one is ex-
travagance; the other is invest
ment.
REASONING HELD FAULTY
''Mr. Hoover has himself fre.
quently recognized this funda-
mental distinction. He ap-
proved the legislation creating
q Reconstruction Finance Cor
pOratiOn, although that in
vOlved the United States in
the direct borrowing of $780,
100000 and the prospective
guarantee of bonds amounting
to $1,5O0,OOO,OOO.
ut is exceedingly difficult
to follow the President when
he would have us believe that
the Federally guaranteed deben-
lures of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation are any
less Federal obligations than
the United States bonds which
would be issued under this
bill"

torting" his questions in a man
ner designed to be unfair to the
witness, who was defending him
self against a mass of innuendo
and inferential charges Seabury
has developed during the months
since the inquiry has been in
progress.
Mayor Walker testified that
when he voted for the franchise
in the board of estimate he did
not understand that AnSon Bur
chard, vice president of the Gen
eral Electrih Company, was going
to finance Equitable. He said he
never had met Burchard.
A member of the committee,
Senator John j. Dunnigan, read
otni the record the history of the
J. c. White Company. The White
Company made a survey and re-
port on Equitable.
Defends His Position
The White Company reported
Equitable could be financed and
in their report, signed by j. H.
Pardee, president, said Burchard
had given "oral assurance" he
would secure financial backing.
The mayor, with some heat, de-
Tended the position he took six
years ago in voting in favor of a
franchise for the Equitable Bus
Company, which at that time OBJ
tained a three-borough franchise
but failed to operate because it
could not be adequately financed.
In previous testimony Seabury
had brought out that Senator
John A. Hastings, friend of the
mayor, was active in the promo
ton of the Equitable company.
On the stand today, Mayor Walker
declared:
II never knew what Hastings
interest in the Equitable was"
The mayor seemed a little tired
when he took the stand. He was
calm, almost to the point of Seri-
BUSINESS.
Just before adjournment ami
mostly between the two broke
forth in unrestrained fashion.
Seabury Fires Questions
Seabury proceeded to compare
the financial standing of the two
bus companies. He asked of
Walker:
THE Service Bus Company
was prepared to put up $780,
900 as Security?"
81 don't know, but the check
of one man for 100000 to full
fill a S2O,OOO,OOO contract Ger
tainly wouldn't be as good as
the word of J. p. Morgan. For,
after the 100000 was spent,
there might not be any more"
The mayor eyed Seabury
coldly. There was a tinge of
sarcasm in his tone as he re-
marked:
"YOu ask me technical ques-
tlOnS about matters which Oc-
CURED six years ago and I am
not prepared to answer them"
But Mr.. Morgan didn't
have the contract"
I'VE both know that. never
recommended the Equitable
Coach Company. I voted for a
franchise for this company, yes.
But L had good and substantial
reasons for SO doing"
mayor Walker denied that he
pushed" the Equitable franchise
through the board of estimate.

SO Times

Chicago, Dec. 20-(P)-Jimmie Foxx
excelled Babe Ruth and the rest Of
the American League in the produc-
ton Of homers and runs batted In
last season but the aging Bambino
again was the most-walked man in
the circuit.
In 1872 games, % less than Foxx
participated in, Ruth was handed 100
bases on balls. While this crop failed
to come close to the record one of ITO,
collected by the Babe in 152 games
during the 1923 campaign, it was
enough to give the New York Yankees
new high mark for one club with
team total of 766 for the season. In
1881 the Yanks collected 748 passes in
155 games.
FoXx was second to Ruth in passes
received, the final official averages
disclosed Tuesday, with ZIG, but he
topped his closest rivals, Lou Gehrig
of New York and AL Simmons of Phil
adelphia, by Is scores in runs batted
in. FoXx drove in 1859 runs while
Gehrig and Simmons were credited
with Isl each. Ruth ranked fourth
with 1877. Fourteen players batted In
100 or more runs.
While only five-Ruth, Foxx, Geh-
rig, Mickey Cochrane and Max Bishop
received 100 or more bases on balls,
10 players got four passes in one
game, with Earl Averill Of Cleveland
and Ossie Bluege of Washington
drawing five in one afternoon.
The easiest man to strike out in the
league last season was Bruce Camp
bell, st. Louis. Campbell famed 104
times or eight times more than his
closest rival, Foxx, who churned the
air with his home run bat just 96
times. Campbell and Averill also
were the easiest targets for wild
pitchers, getting hit six times each.
Joe Sewell, New York veteran, ran
his great record for strikeouts to the
minimum of 10 for Is years of bat
ting in the American League, striking
out but three times in 125 games.
The championship Yankees led IN
runs batted in for team with 955
and in games won and lost at home
and away with the Athletics trailing
next in all three departments. Cleve-
land hung up the odd record OF VIM
ming more games away than at nome

Much From Mack
Young Washington Pilot Used to
Single Connie Out and
Ask Questions

Philadelphia, Dec. 20-(R)-Just how
successful Joe Cronin will be as the
new skipper of the Washington Sen
ators remains to be seen, but he GER
tainly knows at whose feet to sit in
seeking managerial knowledge.
Connie Mack, who was managing
the Philadelphia Athletics before
Cronin was born, reveals that on
many of his visits to Washington dur
ing the last several seasons, the
young shortstop unobstrusively sought
him out In hotel Hobbies and other
gathering places and quietly piled him
with questions.
II don't know If I could tell him
anything he didn't know" the veteran
tactician said modestly. "but he used
to ask all kinds of questions and I'd
answer him. Finally began to think
to myself: Why, he'd be using what
I told him against my own club!
Hes a smart young fellow, I want
to tell you. A nice-mannered chap
too. Joe Cronin's a gentleman-a
great ball player. wish him luck"
Mack will be 70 years old next Fri
day and has been managing the AS
since they were organized in 1901.
