of 1857 former Government en-
ployes now on the Civil Service
Commissions unemployment list
will be undertaken following a
conference to be held January

under the auspices Of the Civil
Service reinstatement League.
The American Federation Of
Govrnment Employees will cooper

league at a meeting last night.
The National Federation Of

be asked to join in the drive.
Babock said an official of the
Civil Service Commission had
told him that practically all the

was correct statement of the
case.

Beer Code

Beer is a farm product.
So it would appear from the
fact that a code for the brew
ing industry is now in the hands
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, and will be
given public hearings in the Ma
tional Museum auditorium on
November 27.
Only agricultural products are
represented among AAA codes.
The brewing pact, whose labor
and hour provisions will be ad-
ministered by the NRA, will call
for fair practice rules and reg
ular reports to the Secretary Of
Agriculture.

Fight Before District
Committee.

The House District Committee today
ended the fight over referring the Dis
trict beer bill to a subcommittee for
hearings by upholding the action Of
Chairman Norton In sending 1t to the
judiciary subcommittee. However, it
vacated certain parts of the proceed
ings at the last meeting so as to elimi-
nate the fact that Representative Pat
man. Democrat, of Texas, voted under
a misapprehensiop in favor OF the bill
being sent to the judiciary committee.
Chairman Palmisano OF the Judiciary
Subcommittee has called off the hear
ing scheduled for tomorrow on the beer
Dill, but promises hearings will start
soon and that if an attempt is made to
fiilibuster he intends to hold all-night

mans principal objection to considera-
ton OF this legislation because it in

real reason why 1t should properly be

lengthy statement regarding his oppo-
sltion to referring the bill to the Ju-

GOV. pINCHOT OBTAINS APOLOGY
AFTER SENATOR ATTACKS WIFE
Executive, in Speech, Re-
gretS He Lacks Right to
Apply Horsewhip.
Remarks of George L. Reed
of Harrisburg Expunged
From Record.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG. Pa, January Ii
Business was momentarily paralyzed In
the Senate today as an irate Governor
demanded and obtained an apology fol-
what he termed "a dastardly attack
upon his wife.
When the session opened Gov Clifford
Pinchot requested an immediate hear
ing to answer remarks which Senator
George L. Reed of Harrisburg directed
at Mrs. Pinchot in a speech Monday
night.
He told the Senators the laws of the
State prevented him from taking the
punishment in his own hands. Il can
not properly horsewhip Senator, how
ever much l desire to. and however
much the Senator may deserve it" he
said.
The Reed remarks. expunged from
the Senate records Immediately after
they were made, are "unqualifiedly
false the Governor asserted.
The honor of the Senate" he added,
demands "acticn more direct and more
effective than the mere expunging of
the lie from its records.
Il demand that you require the SLAM
derer to produce his proof or make pub
lie reparatlon.
AS the Governor departed the legis-
lators suspended business to permit
Senate leaders to confer. Reed joined
the group and later took the floor on
question Of personal privilege.
LAS far as any remarks relating to
Mrs. Pinchot in my address on Mon
day night are concerned" he said, Il
regret they were made and tender the
Senate my apologies.
Il further state that my remarks were
made upon my individual responsibility
and without consulting any member OF
the Senate or any one active in the
Republican party"
The Senate, after briefly applauding
Reeds statement. settled down to a
perfunctory session.
Gov Pinchots speech follows:
An attack has recently been made
upon the floor of this chamber so
false. so insulting, so inspired by malice
and so entirely beyond the bounds of
decency. that the honor of the Senate
demands action more direct and effec-
tive than the mere expunging of the
lie from its records.
Too Angry, He Says.
Yesterday I was too angry to trust
myself before you. But I can no
longer postpone this demand for justice.
This Is not the first time that a
like dastardly attack has been made by
men high in the Republican organiza-
tion. During my first term an organf-
zation Senator Committed a similar
slander on this floor. At the begin
ming OF this term l was warned In

that during the present year five new
naval vessels, the new cruisers, will be
commissioned and each will need a
complement of Marines
II the United States Navy were built
up to the strength allotted this coun-
try under the naval treaties of WASH
1ngton and London, the strength of the
Marine Corps would be 24,406 men. If
the proposed cut in the corps is made
the strength will be more than 10000
below treaty strength, and, furthermore,
the proposed cut would reduce the
strength of the Marine Corps below
that which 1t had when the United
States went into the World War. In
the act Of August 90, 1915, 1t was pro-
vided that the corps should have an
enlisted strength Of 1891.
During the World War the maximum
strength of the Marine Corps was

Questioned by Marrinsn. Durant told
OF the arrangements for selling $26, ,500,-
900 of Kreuger a. Toll bonds In this
country in 1929.
The bonds we're part of total issue
Ct $50,000,000 he said, of which the
balance was sold abroad
Durant said he was a member of Lee
Higginson, Kreuger & Toll and the In
ternational Match Co.
Associated with Higginson In market
ing the bonds, Durant said, were the
National City Co. and Guaranty Co.
Brown Bros, Clark Dodge. Dillon Reed
g. Co., and Union Trust Co. of Pitts
burgh.
Three Members Of Exchange.
Marrinan interjected that three Of
these, Higginson, Brown Bros. and
Clark Dodge, were members Of the
Stock Exchange.
Directors of these firms, he said, in
cluded Charles E. Mitchell, chairman
Of National City; Percy Rockefeller
"and others scarcely as distinguished .
The issue was bought at "98, less 3lz

How much did Lee Higginson
make?" Marrinan asked.
I'VE made $130,00o gross on the
underwriting and about $220,000 in
compensation for sales made a total
of 1866, ,000," Durant replied.
The investigator asked the total OF
Kreuger & Toll securities sold in this
country by the Higginson Co.
Durant said the first were in 1923
and filed a statement showing total
securities sold in this country by syndi-
Gates headed by Lee Higginson amount
ed to $1l3,000,00o.
What are the estimated American

until the reorganizations are com.
pleted,' the witness replied.

cost.
He questioned Durant about the
debenture agreement on the $26, 600 ,00O
issue and the substitution clause, ask
ing was there any requirement as to
the value Of the collateral?"
Not as to its market value. but as to
its income value" the witness replied.
Durant said payments on the bonds
now amounted to about one-third of
the interest, but he added the further
payments were barred by exchange
difficulties.
French Bonds Withdrawn.
He said the most valuable collateral
back of the securities was French bonds
but they were later withdrawn.
There has been an impression those
French bonds were put in for window
dressing" Marrinan said rs there any
thing to it?"
II don't think So" the witness re-
piled, while saying the French bonds
amounted to $4,000, 900, but Hungarian
bonds were substituted.
Weren't several kinds of bonds sub
Stituted, all of which are now worth
less?" Norbeck asked.

are worthless" the witness rejoined.
