The hearing yesterday was climaxed
by an outburst by Senator overton, who
objected oratorically to the manner in

In his speech, Overton attacked the

member Of the United States Senate,
he reared.
He charged that Connally was asking
leading questions and trying to impeach

said that those who furnish blood for
transfusions are subject to the statutory
IS per cent pay cut. The prevailing

Mr.. McCarl held out for the latter.
In the same decision he held also
that the cut should not be applied to

Purchases Will Continue Despite Warn
ing of Sprague.

The administration went forward
with its gold program today undeterred
by the contention of DR.. O. NJ w.
Sprague that grave dangers lie ahead
If the policy is pursued.
Resigning as special financial adviser
to the Treasury, DR.. Sprague wrote to
President Roosevelt that unrestrained
initiation and breakdown of govern
mental credit threatens as result of
the present monetary procedure.
The price of domestic gold was fixed
today at S3376 an ounce, unchanged
from yesterday, with the dollar, slump
ing again, carrying the world gold price
upward from an opening of $3441.
Officials expressed no perturbation at
Spragues dire predictions. From Warm
Springs, Ca, came word that Mr..
Roosevelt was resolved to go ahead with
his plan for increasing commodity
prices by forcing the price of gold up
ward through purchases at home and
abroad.
In his letter. Sprague called atten-
ton to the fact that some issues of
Government bonds had slipped below
par.
Joining this To the fact the Govern
ment must borrow hugh sums within
the next year so, he predicted that
If the present trend continues. investors
will be unwilling to put their money
in Government bonds. The result, he
said. would be that the administration
would be forced to meet its obligations
with new issues of paper money.
Meanwhile, washington sought fur

Meanwhile, Mr.. Roosevelt said Moth
ing about the resignation of o. M. w.

Russia, and Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
relief administrator, are other prospec-
tive visitors.
Mr.. Roosevelt said today the real pur-
pose of the johnson visit was his belief
that his industrial administrator needed
"a hours of rest. Incidentally he will
look over any codes he brings along,
and the word from Washington is that
johnson Is carrying with him the mo-
ton picture and possibly the newspaper

However, if there was any presiden-
tial concern over the attack on his
monetary program which was carried
along yesterday by Sprague in pro-
