Discipline Is Faced

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Con-
gressmen Louis Ludlow of Indian
apolis, and Arthur Greenwood OF
Washington, Ind, are among the
thirty die-hard Democratic drys who
refused to be bound by the party
caucus vote to support the Garner
Blaine resolution.
AS consequence, the two Hoosier
representatives may be severely
disciplined by the party, the caucus
action, it is understood, was in
spired by President Elect Franklin
D. Roosevelt, who is determined
that the Democrats in congress
must make good on party platform
pledges.
Representative Ludlow, touted as
candidate for the Democratic
steering committee in the next SEES
sion, probably will be turned down
by his colleagues, and Representa-
tive Greenwood, who actively is
seeking a place on the powerful
ways and means committee, faces
almost certain defeat.
The two ultra-dry Indianans
asked to be excused from voting
according to the caucus decision, on
the ground that such a vote would
be contrary to their express PROM
Uses to their respective constituent
cieS.

for wide government aid to munich
palities faced with default and with
growing relief burdens was pre-
sented to the senate banking COM
mittee today by spokesman for the
mayors of forty American cities.
Tile resolution, adopted at con-
ference of the mayors, asked liber-
alization of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation act to permit
loans to cities or counties to re
lieve their financial condition" and
urged that the government assume
larger financial responsibility in
fighting unemployment.
The resolution was presented to
the committee by Mayor Frank
Murphy of Detroit. He emphasized
that municipal debts built up in
over expansion periods would last
some years and that tax delinquent
cies in many instances were 40 per
cent this year.
In Detroit, he said, delinquencies
were SO per cent, with '67 cents out
of every tax dollar going for debt
services"
Senator Duncan Fletcher Dem.
Fla.), asked how much Detroit
would apply for if the proposed
amendments to the R. F. G. act
were adopted.

require from S35 100000 to S37 ,000,-
OOO He emphasized the seriousness
of default by a city as large as De-
troit.

FIGHT ON LOAN
INTEREST WILL
OPEN IN HOUSE
New Measure Puts Rate Up
to Financial Institutions
Department.

Legislation to fix petty loan in
terest rates. which already has
caused one sharp clash in the
general assembly, again will become
the center of attraction. probably
Monday, when revamped bill will
be presented in the house Of rep
resentatives.
This measures, to come from a
subcommittee of the house commit =
tee on banks and trust funds, is
expected to vest the interest fixing
power in the new department OF
financial institutions, part of the
McNutt program of governmental
reorganization.
There are indications that the
bill will not prevent fixing an in
terest rate higher than the pres
ent maximum 81 per cent, but it
is considered unlikely that higher
rate ever will prevail, due to public
opposition.
Loan Men Testify
The bank committee, in the course
of hearings, has received the views
Of the Household Finance Corpora
ton, operating in twelve states, pre-
sented by its counsel, F. l.. Thomp-
son of Chicago.
Views of Indiana lenders have
been presented by Joseph Stratton
of Sullivan, chairman of the eXecu-
tive committee of the Indiana As
ISOLATION of Personal Finance Com
panies.
Thompson has presented, for
committee consideration, bill
drafted on one passed this week by
the Wisconsin state senate. 1t pro-
vides strict regulation by the finan-
cial institutions department and
gives it full interest fixing power.
The representative explained to
the committee that there is nothing
in the bill to prevent the depart
ment from fixing a rate higher than
81 per cent.
Thompson and Stratton agree on
the point that the small lenders op-
pose any rate lower than 81 per
cent. However, the former ex-
planned, there is line of thought
in the business which is consider
ing 81 per cent for loans up to 500
and 21a for amounts above that,
up to $780,"
Pursley Also Heard
Stratton urged the committee not
to make it too hard for the little
fellow to get a license" for opera
ton.
The committee also has heard
Alex Pursley of Hartford City, a
small loan operator and member of
the Democratic state committee. He
expressed confidence that the banks
committee would submit a bill ac-
ceptable to the business and that
the new department would not
abuse the regulatory powers it is in
tended to confer upon it.
Pursley and other Democratic
leaders have been conspicuous in
the petty loan battle since it started
in the senate, where a bill sponsored
by Senator William P. Dennigan
(Dem., Vincennes), cutting the in
terest to 2 per cent a month, was
passed and now is in the hands of
the house banks committee.
The per cent rate was fixed in
an amendment. Originally, a rate
OF l p per cent was sought.

JAPAN'S THREAT IS
 CAUSE OF CONCERN
American Government Is Specially Interested in
 Latest Maneuver

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.- c r m an Chancellor Hitler's Government is expected, ac- cOrding to international Ob- servers, to start a vigorous campaign in Geneva for re- turn of the former German colonies, a step which may stir up the entire mandate problem in the League of Nations and throw additional light on the status of Equa- tOrial islands in the Pacific, mandated to Japan.
 The question has been in the minds of the Germans in the past.
 The subject is also given more importance by the fact that Japan has made threat of quitting the League and will strengthen forces in her mandated islands. The de- cision to resign from the League is pending the final report regarding the Sino- Japanese situation in Man. churia.
 The American Government is particularly interested in the future of the Pacific islands because of their nearness to Guam, Philip pines and Hawaii.
 German Islands
 The German islands, consisting of three groups, known as the Mar iannas, Carolinas and Marshalls. were allotted to Japan by the League which is charged with control of execution.
 It is Tokyos apparent intention to retain the islands as spells of war regardless of her position at Geneva and this attitude has aroused some concern in various capitals of the world.
 Observers are now seeking light on the Leagues attitude in the matter.
