BIZ Scripps- Howdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Only
one major amendment to the ma
tional recovery bill was being con-
sidered seriously by the house ways
and means committee as it conclud-
ed hearings today and prepared to
report the measure promptly to the
house of representatives.
The committee may liberalize the
provision making an outright gift
of federal funds to local govern
mental agencies for public works
construction.
Both William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor.
and Henry 1. Hartman, president
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce, recommended that con-
gress remove the provision OF the
bill limiting such grants to 80 per
cent Of the cost of the work, or
liberalize it considerably.
Both argued that few cities and
towns in the country are in posi-
ton to borrow money for any con-
struction work and will be unable
to take advantage of the proffered
help unless it is more generous,
Both pointed out also the desir-
ability of having men employed on
projects in their home towns.
Committee members listened to
those arguments with apparent
sympathy. The change would bene-
fit small cities and cities in serious
financial condition.

Though the weight of evidence
still indicated that Hartman, i'll
and discouraged member of one of
Americas great financial families,
had sought solace in suicide, police
and federal agents united to spread
a net designed to prevent flight.
Dead or alive, the missing banker
was sought throughout the city, in
former Long Island hauntS, and
near his New Jersey birth place at
Belleville.
Flight Is Suspected
At first, when it was learned that
five notes intimating suicide had
been left behind by Hartman, it
was taken for granted that he had
gone to die. But Friday. night
federal authorities learned that
when he disappeared, walking with
hating step, from the nursing home
where he was being cared for, Har-
riman went to the barber shop of
Alfred Rammacca, few doors
away and had his gray hair clipped,
as actors sometimes do when their
roles require wigs.
Armed with that information,
twenty federal agents joined the
hunt.
Hartman, former president Of the
closed Hartman National bank, was
scheduled to go to trial Monday
on federal charges of making
fraudulent entries in the banks
books to conceal operations in the
institutions securities.
Bail May Be Forfeited
His case would have been post
poned, because the Charles E. Nit
chell trial is taking the attention
of all bank experts of the federal
prosecutors office. But If Hartman
does not appear Monday his bail
of $4,000 will be subject to forfeit.
Harriman's intimates and adj
visors pictured him as the victim of
a heart ailment which made it GER
tain that he could not live more
than a year. His mind had been
affected, one of his physicians said,
by illness and worry.
Yet, alone and with only $50 in
his pockets, he was able yesterday
to walk out of the Regent Nursing
home, explaining that he was going
to make purchase at the corner,
then to hide himself in some retreat
where the entire police force could
not find him.
River Rumor Discounted
Police and federal agents had no
right to disturb Hartman if they
found him, as long as he stayed
within this federal judicial district,
since he is free on bail. Any at
tempt to leave the district, however,
would make Inn subject to arrest.
His passport has expired, and has
not been renewed.
A report that a gray-clad, gray
mustached man answering Harri-
mans description was seen watch
ing the oil-coated waters of the
river at Sixty-first street was in
vestigated, but police appeared sat-
isfied this man was not the banker.
George S. Leisure, Harriman's at
torney, said the once wealthy
banker had no resources Of impor-
lance left, no bank account on
which he could draw, and no home
to which he might go.
Hartman is a son of the late
John Nelson Hartman and.
nephew of the late E. H. Hartman,
famous railroad flnancier.

which had been examined by him

he had examined the bonds cover
ing officers and employees. and that
all contained provisions for serving

Downey admitted from the stand
that he had discussed the possibility

right to keep an hour by hour
check on her husbands move
ments ought to get a few good
jolts. Surely, with all that
vigilance, you'd be disappointed
if your spying didn't produce
results, now wouldn't you? It
would be like carrying light
ming insurance on your house
year after year and never hav-
ing it struck by lightning.
Don't you realize that hus-
bands who are given plenty of
freedom seldom stray from
home, because there isn't much
fun in cheating a good sport?
But the husband who has to
account for every single min
ute gets so in the habit of
abiding his way out of small
lapSeS that he becomes an ex-
pert in that line, and finds an
unholy joy in deceiving his hui
man recording angel.
AS for the cousin, I think
she's victim of that natural
human quality of mistrusting
and disliking those to whom
we owe favors. Plenty of peo-
pie are gracious givers, but few
can stand the strain of receiv-
ing with the same grace. You
are in the girls debt and you
resent that. Even now you are
planning to throw her out of
your house on the happy day
when you can pay the debt.
That, you see, is how you will
repay her for the use of her
money.
Maybe she would be willing
to write off your debt in ex-
change for gorge. That
mightn't be a bad idea. Think
of the time and trouble you'd
save if you didn't have a hus-
band to check up on. 1t would
give you time for a few sweet,
charitable thoughts once in q
while. Think it over.
