LOANS TO Al SMITH
REVEALED IN PROBE
Former Governor Named in
Stock Syndicate Involving
More Than 1896, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate stock market investigators
said today the Chase National Bank
has submitted evidence showing loans
of several hundred thousand dollars to
Alfred E. Smith and other participants
in a syndicate stock account shortly
after the market collapse of 1929.
Other participants, it was stated, in
cluded John J. Raskob, who was chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee when Smith was the party's
presidential candidate, and Arthur Leh-
man, brother of Gov. Lehman of New
York.
The evidence submitted by the bank
did not give any of the details of the
transaction or show clearly the stocks
in which the syndicate was operating.
s336,eeo Loaned Originally.
1t indicated, however, that a loan
of S336,000 was made to the group in
November, 1929, and was subsequently
enlarged.
According to the evidence, a large
balance still was outstanding when the
records were submitted to the commit
tee.
Committee members said the list of
syndicate participants also included the
name of Norman H. Davis, American
Ambassador at Large.
If the evidence is placed in the COM
mittee record it will be the the first
time Smith has figured In the stock
market inquiry, though the names Of the
others have figured several times in the
past.
The Stock Market Committee today
ordered an investigation of loans to
mortgage companies by the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation. 1t decided
IN an executive session to ask the
corporation for a list of all loans to
mortgage companies as a result of
hearing that banks were obtaining
funds through such companies organ
lied for that purpose in order to avoid
publicity.
Jones to Appear Later.
Jesse Jones, r. F.. C. chairman, was
asked to appear later today before an
OtAACA CACNuLANC SCoS4OIl VI tllG
tee to advise on procedure.
Chairman Fletcher said the r. F. c.
would be asked for separate lists of
loans made to mortgage companies Or
ganized before the law was passed and
to companies formed since 80 as to
ascertain whether the companies were
being organized for the purpose Of get
ting loans"
I'VE don't know whether there is
anything wrong" Fletcher said, but
we want to see if they are using this
method to serve their own ends with
out giving the public any benefit.
I'VE don't want to hamper the r.
F. c. or cast any reflection on the
loans. They may be all valid"
Fletcher said the committee might
make a general inquiry into all loans
by the r. F. c. since the former Sem
ate investigation which was concluded
about year ago, but that there had
been no suggestion for further scrutiny
of the loan to the Dawes bank in Chi
cago, which was studied by the for
mer committee
Tomorrow the Senators will resume
their investigation of the Chase Ma
tional Bank and Its security affiliate,
the Chase Securities Corporation.

Roosevelt Summons
Conference to Shape
Liquor Regulations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt noted the voting
Of prohibion repeal by the Nation with
a call today for special meeting on
Friday of Government officers to devise
the Federal policy for liquor in expec-
tation Of making recommendations to
Congress.
He will confer on Friday with repre-
sentatives of the State. Treasury, Com
merce, Justice and Agriculture Depart
ments. Among the problems confront
ing the Government are the questions
OF taxes to be assessed on whisky and
wine, the import duties and a variety
of other problems.
A voluminous report dealing with all
these questions, prepared by special
Government committee, is now on the
Presidents desk.
Ballots Decide.
The country, in turning away from
national prohibition as a solution Of the
age-old liquor problem, within % or 20
days will place that problem back upon
the States
With an irresistible impact Of ballots
yesterdays elections again showed that
the hope and confidence with which the
eighteenth amendment was put into
force almost IA years ago was trans
formed by events of the passing years
to something far different.
Although the unanimous succession
Of States favoring ratification Of repeal
was broken by the opposition of North
and South Carolina, margins in favor
pyramided to the North and Westward
in Ohio, Pennsylvania and finally Utah.
North Carolina went more than to
against change, while South Caro-
hna's majority was less than 1000.
Pennsylvania 4 to /.
Pennsylvania rolled up a more than
4-to-1 repeal majority, with Ohio fol-
lowing by a 2-to-1 advantage Utah
was somewhat less than 2 to /, with
about half the precincts reported.
Thirty three States previously had
voted to obliterate the eighteenth
amendment. So only three more were
needed to write it into history as the
first amendment repealed and to attach
the twenty-first to the Constitution as
the first one approved by State conven-
tions.
The Kentucky votes are being count
ed today. If claims of foes of the

WIDE WORK RELIEF
PLAN IS LAUNCHED
Federal Program Designed
to Take 1000, 600 Off
Public Aid Rolls.

President Roosevelt today announced
an expansion of the Federal relief pro-
gram aimed at taking 10000 men
off public relie' rolls.
The plan involves the creation of a
Civil Works Administration and the use
of $400,00O,00 of public works funds.
Through these additional funds, the
administration intends to increase the,
rolls so they may be put on a self
sustaining basis.
1t is intended that 100000 men
shall be put on self sustaining basis
by November l6 and that an additional
100000 men may be put on this basis
b December Is.
Harry Hopkins, the Federal relief ad-
ministrator, will direct the Civil Works
Administration.
The President has laid down the
principle of 30-hour week for the
workers he intends to employ.
Big Reduction Since April.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes that by this
one stroke at least two-thirds Of the
families in the country now receiving
relief will be removed at least in part
from relief roles.
Approximately 100000 families are
now being cared for by public relief
agencies, under White House estimates.
This is reduction since April of l.
100000 families. The President has
been informed that during September
alone 250,000 families we're taken of
relief rolls, representing about 100000
persons.
The President explained further at
his press conference today that work
relief divisions of the existing State and
local emergency unemployment relief
administrations would be modified to
perform the expanded employment ac-
tivities. He said also that while the new
