MEDICAL HELP
AUTHORIZED

Grants made to the States by
the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration may be used for
medical attention to relief cases,
Harry L. Hopkins, relief admins
traitor, ruled today.
It was stipulated, however, that
these relief funds, of which the
District of Columbia has received
$141,OOO, may not be used for
the payment of hospital bills or
for the boarding out of children.
Hopkins ruled that the funds
may be used for "the payment
of medical attendance and medi.
cal supplies for those families
that are receiving relief"
1t was further ruled that the
Federal funds may be used to
pay the cost of shelter for the
needy unemployed.
In order to speed up distri-
button of the funds allocated to
the States under the $500, 900, 900
Federal relief program, Hopkins
set August l, as the deadline
when all funds for the first quar-
ter Of the year are to be dis
tributed to needy persons.

HARTMAN BANK
PROBE DELAY
EXPLAINED
George MedaIie, NY. Attorney,
Says He Acted Under Orders
From Washington Officials

NEW YOEh, June 70 lin 81.
United States Attorney George
2. Medalie followed instructions
from Washington in handling the
prosecution Of Joseph w. Harri-
man in connection with the fail
ure of the Hartman National
Bank and Trust Company, he
testified today at a U. S. Senate
subcommittee hearing into the
bankers crash.
The object of the hearing,
which opened today, was to find
why the Hartman prosecution
was held up.
Heard in December, 1892
Medalie, the first witness, said
the first knowledge he had of the
situation within the Hartman
bank was on December %, 1882.
1t was on that date, he testified,
that Nugent Dodds, former AS
Sistant United States Attorney
General, brought the matter to
his attention.
In response to a question from
Senator Henry P. Ashurst (D0 of
Arizona, Medalie stated he be-
lieved the Treasury Department
must have known about the Har-
riman situation as early as June
and certainly not later than
July-1932.
Run Averfed
Medalie said he had followed
the suggestion, or the direction,
of the Department Of Justice in
the matter because they repre-
Sented to him (and he concurred
in the view that any public &C
ton against the Hartman bank
would result in run on the in
stitGtion and be dangerous to the
general banking situation.
Medalie, in response to further
questions from members of the
committee, said that nothing was
to be lost by not prosecuting
Hartman Immediately because
there was little likelihood he
would run away. Hartman was
under bond and his son-in-law
was on the bond, Medalie pointed
out.
Bank Was Broke
Medalie said:
"The bank was broke; Harrf-
man was broke. 1t was diff
ferent situation than if he had
taken 100000 in cash from
the vault. In that event he
might have some Of the money
and he would have been ar
rested Immediately"
Medalie was asked about the
directors of the bank and also
about the market pool in Harri-
man stocks. Medalie had the
names of the directors, but it
was decided it was not necessary
to put those names into the
record.

MELLON: SEEKS
To QUASH SUIT

Dismissal Of the 100000, 900
suit filed against former Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrew w.
Mellon and others by David A.
Olson, former Senate committee
Investigator, was asked of the Dis
trict Supreme Court in a motion
argued today.
Besides Mellon, the suit named
Ogden L. Mills, another former
Secretary of the Treasury: David
H. Blair, former internal revenue
commissioner; Alexan der W..
Gregg, former solicitor Of the
Treasury, and Undersecretary of
the Treasury Arthur Ballantine
as defendants.
Olson sued on the ground that
the defendants, through fraud,
allowed a number of foreign
steamship companies to escape
payment of more than 100000
900 in income taxes to the Federal
government.
Arguing for dismissal Of the
suit, j. Harry Covington, attorney
for Mills, declared the action was
"fanciful in the extreme" and
was conceived with malice. He
said the action was brought under
a statute permitting an informer
of alleged fraud against the Gov
ernment to collect one-half of the
money recovered, and contended
that even though the statute was
still on the books, actions brought
under it were not looked upon
with favor.
Charles A. Russell, attorney for
Olson, declared the action was
we'll founded and brought in good
legal form.

India Backs u. S. Program
For Use of Silver

and hopeful statement"
Pittman added that all men,
bers of the committee agreed
violent fluctuations in the price
of silver must be halted in order
to restore trade in the Far East.
Methods of achieving this aim
vary widely.
Thus far in the silver discus
sionS India'S surplus of 400, ,O00,-
900 ounces has proved a stun
bling block, since Indian exports
would interfere with any plan for
increasing silver prices.
Today, however, Pittman pro-
posed that India agree to limit
her silver exports during any one
year, silver producing countries
at the same time agreeing to alb
sorb such Indian exports and
undertaking to increase the fine
ness of silver in coinage.

COPELAND
OPENSPROBE
Of RACKETS
Kidnapping Particular Phase
Of Inquiry; Politicians
Linked With Crime

NEW YORK, June 26 GN.S).
Startling revelations Of the grip
of the racketeer on American
business and of the identity Of
many persons linked with rack
eteering we're indicated as United
States Senator Royal Copeland
CD of New York, today opened
his inquiry into aspects Of the
problem in the metropolitan area.
Copeland is one of a Senate
subcommittee of three members
named to investigate the hold Of
the racketeer on business and in
dustry in the nation. Senator
Vandenburg (R) Of Michigan,
will conduct the inquiry in the
Detroit area and Senator Louis
Murphy CD of Iowa in the Chi
cago region.
Opens With Conference
The inquiry in New York was
slated to start with a conference
of Department Of Justice agents
in this section at the local in
vestigation office, where Copeland
opened committee headquarters
today. He said:
"It is startling to learn how
deeply entrenched the rack
eteers are in labor, business,
and even in the work of pro-
ducing and distributing food,
clothing and other necessities
of life.
"The average citizen doesn't
realize that racketS extOrt at
least twice as much money each
year than it takes to run the
Federal Government. Nor does
he sense the number of poll
ticians who the evidence seems
to indicate are part of racketS
that cost the citizen thousands
Of dollars"
Copeland's inquiry, he said,
will deal particularly with kid
naping, "a form of racket that
has grown tremendously since
the legalization of beer"
"ShOck" Is Promised
Aides close to the Senator said
it will "be shock" to many COM
munities to learn the identities of
some of those who have been
financing rackets and others who
have actually joined underworld
"mobS."
First phases of the inquiry will
deal especially with the inter-
state aspect of racketeering, Cope
land said, with particular atten-
ton being given the poultry and
fruit rackets and methods by
which the underworld obtains its
arms and ammunition.

Seven guests met at a res
taurant to dine. One of the
seven guests dined there each
day: q second guest dined
there every second day; q
third every third day, and so
on to the seventh who ate
there once every seventh day.
A young man met his wife to
be at the first meeting Of the
seven and upon proposing
that she marry him, she said:
When the seven guests who
have met here today meet
again in the natural course
Of events we will be married"
How long did the young man
have to wait before the we'd

in our country to bring about
composition Of debts between
debtors and creditors"
Couzens alluded to the measures
taken by the Roosevelt admins
tration to promote increased pur-
chasing power, which he deemed
as of the highest Importance. He
said:
Enterprise will not recover
courage until it receives a lead
from the Government. We be-
lieve we are in for a period
during which the Government
must take the lead.
CITIES VAST PROGRAM
''My Government is proving
its convictions by undertaking
the largest program of public
works in the worlds history.
This will energize production
and consumption elsewhere"
Couzens recommended that
other nations follow the example
of the United States.
There should be no miSconcep-
ton, Couzens warned, regarding
the monetary policy Of the United
States. He said:
"My Government believes that
the fundamental Objectives are
to increase production and con-
sumption. Higher prices will
follow.
"The world economic confer
ence believes that no consider
able reduction in unemployment
is possible except through in
creased output Of goods and
services for home consumption.
MEANS MORE IMPORTS
"FOr my country this will
mean increased imports and
raw and other materials, two
thirds of which enter wiEb$ut
tariffs. This will be an Zder-
giving force throughout the
world"
Couzens, however, revealed that
he differed with Secretary of
State Cordell Hull. chief of the
American delegation, who has put
forth the idea that tariff reduc-
ton is a panacea for all ills. He
said:
Increased demand for raw ma
terials induced by the Ameri-
can program offers far more
hope for world recovery in my
opinion than could possibly be
expected merely from reduction
of tariffs on manufactured ar
ticles which are highly cOmpeti.
tive between nations"
Delegate Starakosch, Of India,
followed CousenS, urging imme-
diate price-raising by controlled
currency action. He expressed
the opinion temporary measures
to alleviate the external debt
problem would be sufficient.
Prospects of a silver agreement
were enhanced today when India
threw her influence behind the
American reorganization scheme.
The Indian representative, Sir
George Schuster, told the silver
subcommittee that India is pre-
pared to cooperate in the silver
plan introduced last week by
Senator Key Pittman for a gradu-
ated absorption of the Indian
silver surplus by silver producing
countries.

EN.JOHNSON' 5
WARNING GOES
UNHEEDED
Trade Groups Plan to Fight
for Right to Control
: Cost of Products
By international News Service

Warning factions Of labor and
industry, would-be price tixers,
and consumers, interests were
brought nearer agreement today
after Brig. Gen. Hugh S. johnson
laid down the law to all Of them in
a forcefu1 statement to the ma
tion of what he is doing under
the National Recovery Act.
Labor Assured Square Deal
To embattled labor groups
johnson said:
Labor will have a full and
unrestricted right to present
its case. The law specifically
requires that every agreement
contain a covenant to recognize
collective bargaining and not
to require men TO join a COM
pany union as a condition Of
employment. This law will be
executed as it is written"
To industry he said:
"There is absolutely no rea-
son or law for labor to demand
q collective bargain in advance
of submission of a code, and
certainly it is a waste Of time
for any industry to rush to set
up a company union"
On the threat of runaway
prices, johnson laShed out in old
time cavalryman style:
"This administration simply
will not stand for that"
He added:
"This is no time to get rich
quick"
Declaring that 100000 men
are still out of work and that
"any wildcat pNe lifting will hit
them first" Jo&lson said:
Nobody is going to do a
thing that will make him a
peace prOfiteer."
Warning Goes Unheeded
Despite Johnson's warnings, i'm
portant factions of the industrial
and business groups Of the coun,
try will make a fight to be
allowed to fix prices.
While not in open revolt
against Johnson's dictum about
protecting the public against dis.
proportionate prices, these groups
it is known, already are working
on problems of price control. They
will insist, it is understood, on
the right to fix prices in their
codes, and it is expected that
these prices will be upward. and
not down.
General Johnson, who was re-
Gently on the point of moving out
Of the Commerce Department into
the old General Land Office,
whence he would presumably have
ousted the Tariff Commission,
and who decided later to remain
in the Commerce Department,
probably will be assigned new
quarters there, it was indicated
today.
At present the generals estab-
1ishment is spread out in hap
hazard fashion.
Hearings will begin tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock in the
Commerce Department auditorium
on the first of the industrial
codes submitted to General john
son, that of the textile industry.
