ONFUND BILL
Protests Continue, Buchanan
Sees Brief Debate, Then Vote
on Measure Tuesday

Members of the House Appro-
priations subcommittee on def
cheney today will complete mark
ing up the drastic 1884 District
supply bill, decision having been
reached to hold no further hear
ings.
Representative James P. Bu-
chanan, Democratic chairman Of
the appropriations committee and
subcommittee head, said he would
report the bill Monday, and ind1'
cations were that general debate
would begin Immediately. A vote
is expected on the measure the
following day.
Protests Continue
The appropriations chief in an
nouncing no more hearings would
be held said the subject had been
fully covered at the last session,
when the original and more gen.
erous 1884 supply bill was taken
up, passed by both houses and
then was defeated when the
House failed to approve a con-
ference report on amendments.
Protests against the slashed
estimates for the District con-
tinued to deluge the appropria-
ions subcommittee yesterday.
School Group Objects
The Monday Evening Club and
the Roosevelt High School Parent
Teacher Association particularly
filed strong protests.
The PIT. A. requested that
$4,000 for repairs and improve

Infection Seen
As CAUSING
Cancer

Regarded as an important step
in the direction Of finding a cure
for cancer, a micro-organiSm
which produces the dread malady
has been isolated, it was an
nounced today by the United
States Public Health Service.
Doctors and scientists have
been working for years without
success to isolate the germ which
causes cancer, the second leading
cause of death in the United
States.
This new discovery has been
made by Drs. T. j. Glover and
j. L. Engle, who have been work
ing in the laboratories Of the
National Institute of Health here.
They believe their experiments
prove definitely that cancer may
be caused by a germ. infection,
and this is regarded as prelimi-
nary to finding some method Of
cure.
The experiments on guinea pigs
have resulted in growth dag
nosed as having the essential
characteristics of cancer. This
experiment is convincing because
it has been difficult to produce
cancer in this animal in the past.
The growth was caused by use
of the micro-organism and upsets
nrevailing theories of the origin
of the disease.

BANKSQU|TT|NG
j. 8, RESERVE

Apprehension was growing In
Federal Reserve and Treasury
circles today at the substantial
number of applications by State
member banks to withdraw from
the Reserve System.
Despite the fact that the emer-
gency banking and currency legis-
lation was designed to attract
more members to the Reserve Sys-
tenn, the effect has not been in
that direction.
About so State banks have ap-
piled for permission to withdraw.
Since the banks started to open
March 13, % State banks have
been admitted to the Reserve Sys-
tenn, while 10 have been authorized
to withdraw.
The State banks are none too
pleased with their treatment
under the emergency legislation.
They sense a "Step-child" attitude
from the Federal authorities, espe-
cially in view of the strong posi-
ton that is being taken by the
Government by repeated sugges-
tions of a unified banking system
and the elimination of all State
commercial banks.

GETS BUSY
Major Outline of Measure to
Remain; Breadth of Power
Granted Hits Snag

The Administrations securities
act now before Congress will be
followed by other business re-
form recommendations, Huston
Thompson, who presented the
securities act to the House Inter-
state Commerce Committee for
the Administration, said oday.
Representative Marland CD
of Oklahoma asked Thompson
while the latter was testifying
before the House committee if a
provision should not be written
in the securities act preventing
investment bankers from sitting
on the board of directors of cor.
porations. Thompson said:
II think there will be IegiS-
IatiOn for your consideration
to cover that"
Some Criticism
Marland, a former millionaire
oil operator, declared that the vast
mojority of corporations in the
United States are controlled by
investment bankers who sit on the
boards of directors and direct the
finances of the coroprations.
The act, designed to protect the
small investor, was the target Of
severe criticism by members Of
the house committee.
While approving of the major
proposals in the bill. demands
were made by members for revis-
ion Of many sections.
Chairman Rayburn CD of
Texas said the bill conferred more
power on the Federal Trade Com
mission than is contained in the
so-called dictatorial laws already
passed by the present Congress.
Too Much Power
He pointed to one section CIV
ing the commission power to re-
woke permit to sell securities II
the business of the corporation is
not based on sound principles and
is not in the interest of the public
welfare. Rayburn said:
We've passed lot of laws
this session but / don't think
we have given anyone that
much power. If the commits
sion is always composed of wise
and good men that is one thing,
but If It is not, that is another.
Expressing my personal
opinion I informed those con-
sidering reorganization of the
Government that 1 knew of
one commission that would
wipe out entirely. 1t was not
the Trade Commission"
REWRITING ORDERED
Representative Bulwinkle CD0
of North Carolina told Ollie But
Ter, attorney for the Department
of Commerce, who was testifying,
that the section dealing with sale
of foreign securities must be re-
written.

NJ CARL RULING
AIDS DISTRICT
Staff Photo

Purchases for the District gov
ernment should be made in ac-
cordance with BUY American"
standards, barring extraordinary
circumstances that would make
it impracticable, but contracts
entered into prior to March 8
of this year may be fulfilled, ac-
cording to a ruling announced
today by Comptroller General j..
r. McCarl.
A provision of the Treasury.
Post Office bill specifically ap-
plies to the District, requiring
purchase wherever practicable of
goods produced in this country.
The District Commissioners, in
communication to McCarl,
pointed out that the law became
effective only on March 8, and
that on that date arrangements
for purchases were in various
states of completion. Several
questions were raised as to the
procedure to be adopted in each
instance.
The ruling is that contracts
made prior to March will stand,
but in other cases there must
be readvertising and contracting,
unless the expense and delay
make such procedure inimical to
the public interest, or unless the
successful or prospectively sue
cessful bidder will agree to con-
form to the provisions of the
act in question.
