RAILWAY, BANKING
PLANS TAKE FORM
President Continues Study
of Proposed New Leg
iSIati0n.
BY the Associated Press.

oy bAc aosOtidtCu EicoSs
Definite concrete measures by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to reform the banking
and railroad situations under his new
deal' are rapidly taking shape
The major proposals he wants Con-
greSS to enact are:
Banking-ReQuireme Of sworn
statements Of bonuses and commissions
to buyers Of securities; Federal regula-
tion of holding companies selling Sc
curities in interstate commerce; Federal
authority over security exchanges; more
rigid supervision of national banks; dis.
couragement and prevention of specula-
tion in bank deposits; separation oil
commercial and investment banking.
anc restriction of use Of Federal Re-
serve bank funds in speculative enter
prises.
Railroad Program.
Railroads-Assurance to railroads OF
national support conditioned upon re-
organization, with due consideration to
investors and workers; Federal regula-
ton OF competing motor car carriers
consultations where competition is
lacking; firm Federal regulation OF
railroad holding companies"
On these principles, long nurtured by
the President, advisers are busily al
work. Several score authorities and ex-
perts are engaged in the task.
So also is the President conferrine
with congressional leaders on the prob
lens. Heads Of the Banking and In
terstate Commerce Committees of the
Senate and House are with him.
Wants Action Now.
He wants basis laid before this
session Of Congress ends. All may not
be accomplished before adjournment
but the fundamentals he deems neces-
sary to prevent any recurrence of the
recent troubles will and must be enact
ed, he says.
It Is the understanding between the
President and congressional leaders
that the essential details of this sweep
ing program will be enacted.
If congressional temperament leads to
prolonged debate and discussion, there
is no disposition to push the extra
session into the heat of Summer Some
details may well wait until the regular
session. but there is no doubt that Mr.
Roosevelt wants the basic entities of
this far-reaching> program to be enact
ed as soon as possible.

LONDON, March 22.-The identity
OF witnesses testifying in secret hear

man Baillie-Stewart, who is charged
with betraying army secrets to a for
eign agent, will never be disclosed
officially.
Public curiosity is unlikely to be graf

were examined late yesterday at the
Chelsea army court and that more
are yet to be heard from.
1t was believed secret proceedings
would be completed today, after which
public sessions will be resumed. The
prosecution, which charges the young

crets to a man named Otto Waldemar

neSses' lives might be placed in jeopardy
by publicity.
Curiosity has been especially keen
concerning the identity of a Young
woman who left the court weeping yes
terday, evidently in great distress. An
other woman accompanied her as she
left the hall of the Duke of York's
military school, where the case is being
heard. But they were hurried away
quickly in taxicab.
The main point in the defense thus

BINGHAM BACKED !,

Senate Committee Indorses
Him, but Confirmation
Is Delayed.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The nomination of Robert Worth
Bingham Of Louisville to be Ambassa-
dor to England was unanimously ap-
proved today by the Senate FOREIGN
Relations Committee, which had held
up action for a week.
Efforts to obtain immediate Senate
connrmation of Bingham failed. how
ever. due to objections from Senator
McNary OF Oregon, the Republican
Ieaoer. Action was postponed until
tomorrow.
Consideration of the nomination had
been delayed by the committee to look
into some speeches made in 1927 in
scotland by Bingham, which Senator
Robinson, Republican, Of Indiana.
brought to the attention Of members.
sIcng with the observation they might
indicate an undesirable pro-British
feeling.
Senators Barkley and Logan. Ken
lucky Democrats, appearing before the
committee today in behalf of Bingham
told committee members the newspaper
dispatches relating the speeches were
garbled and involved a kentucky DO
litical fight.
Robinson Satisfied.
This explanation satisfied Senator
Robinson. the Indianan said. and he
felt Bingham qualified for the place.
'Barkley and Logan read to the COM
mittee excerpts from a 1927 cablegram
from Bingham to the Louisville Courier
Journal, his own newspaper, which de-
MED the accounts. published in an op-
position paper, which quoted him as
apologizing for Americas action at the
Geneva Arms Conference.
A Kentucky gubernatorial political
light was involved, Barkley said. as the
Courier-JoUrnal was backing one NOM
lnee, while the opposition paper sup
ported another.
In addition, Barkley and Logan
showed the committee dispatches print
ed in Scottish papers which differed
from the accounts cabled to America.
Scottish Accounts Given.
The Scottish papers reported express
slons OF Bingham's friendliness for the
British people, but included a warning
by him that If there is any prejudice
OF course it will be in favor OF my own
people in America"
Robinson said Bingham also was rep-
resented as opposed to cancellation of
war debts, adding, This pleased me
very much"
In raising the question of the news
raper accounts last week, Robinson said
he felt that in view of the approaching
debt negotiations. America should be
represented by some one in England
who favors Americas views" rather
than any one overfriendly to Britain.

on the bill itself, termed it "a child of

Assistant Secretary Tugwell of the

into the bill Soviet ideas that came

President Roosevelt today was given
assurance of the support of Senators
Wheeler and Erickson of Montana for
the bill when it reaches the Senate. Ac-
cording to Senator Wheeler, the only way
