EYE
CAST At EASING
TRUST LAWS
Democratic ProgreSsives in
House Threaten Revolt;
Senate Insurgents Wary

The Administration moved for
ward with its plan for suspension
Of the antitrust laws today. Pro
gressives in both Senate and
House cast suspicious eye on
the program.
An open revolt by the progress
sives of the freshman bloc" of
the House, composed Of new mem
bers, was threatened. The Senate
progressives appeared willing to
await approval of specific legis-
lation by President Roosevelt.
Senator Wagner CD of New
York, who drew a measure for
partial Government control of in
dustry after conferences with
other Senators, planned to pre-
sent his measure to the President
before night.
For Board of Five
The Wagner bill, designed to
carry out the ideas expounded by
the President in his talk to the
nation last Sunday, sets up a
board of five members, including
four Cabinet officers, to regulate
business practices.
Industry, through trade asso-
Citations and in agreement with
labor, would be given power to
fix minimum wages, halt cut
throat competition and continual
price cutting, and regulate the
output to meet the demand dur
ing the depression.
The trade association method,
now legalized to a limited ex-
tent, would be enlarged to give
business a chance to outlaw firms
described by President Hartman
of the United States Chamber
of Commerce as mavericks"
S3,OOO,OOO,OOO Program
In addition, Wagner proposed
a $3.000,0 100000 public works pro-
gram. The Treasury would ad-
vance ,0OO,OO0,0O0 to finance
purely Federal projects, while
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration would provide $4,000
100000 to aid in carrying out
State and municipal projects.
The House progressive bloc
forced the calling of Democratic
caucus tonight to discuss the
Presidents plan. Representative
O'Malley CD. of Wisconsin said:
1--WE have been informed that
the Democratic party, tradi-
tiOnally an antitrust party, in
tends to bring in measures
which will permit the forming
of monOpolies for a year or
two. We want to find out if
the Democratic leaders in
tend to take the side of the
mOnOpOlies."
Another phase of the antitrust
legislation was to be covered in
the 30-hour week bill, slated to
be reported by the House Labor
Committee today.

BUSINESS
SEEN BEST

Stores conducted on a cash basis
are more likely to show profit
than those on a cash-and-credit
basis, according to a survey made
by the Department of Commerce,
It was also found that stores
operating at a profit were more
positive in their methods of han
ding delinquent accounts than
were those running Sin the red"
Stores not giving delivery SER
vice were more profitable. gener-
ally, than those offering such ser
vice, and the paying stores used
promotional methods more gener-
ally than those run at a loss.
Good accounting methods and
systems for training employees
were characteristic Of the profita-
bic stores.

POTOMAC BANK
To JOIN MERGER.

The Potomac Savings Bank,
one of the 10 local institutions
which failed to reopen at the
close of the banking holiday, may
join a new national bank being
formed under the leadership Of
the reorganization committee Of
the District National Bank.
This probability was announced
by George w. Offutt, president
and conservator of the George
town institution following confer
ences with District National Of
ficials.
Formation of the new national
bank, which would utilize the
prime assets" of the banks now
being conducted by conservators,
would be a variation of the
Spokane plan" which, according
to Treasury officials, has been
successfully applied in various
parts of the country.
Joining with other local banks,
mot now in full operation" would
mean abandonment of the
original plan of the Potomac
Savings Bank to reorganize an
individual national bank with
capital of $500,00O.
Subscriptions totaling 100000
have already been made to carry
through the original reorganiza-
ton plan, according to Offutt.
The agreement of stock sub
scribers is to be sought for the
new organization.

TRAGIC ENDING
MORE PAINFUL
THAN LOSS
$4,000 Sacrifice to Deceit
Minor Part, to Her, of
Cruel Fraud Itself

Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean may
regret the loss of her 100000,
and the failure Of her generous
plan to restore the Lindbergh
baby to it's parents.
But it is a safe bet that never
IN her spectacular career did the
daughter and heiress Of TON"
Walsh, Colorado mining magnate,
experience such thrills as during
the two months in which she
chased the phantom baby from
Washington to South Carolina,
from South Carolina to Texas.
Born in comparative poverty,
Mrs. Mclean became an intefna-
tionally famous heiress when her
father "struck it rich" Her mar
rage to Edward B. Mclean. son
of the multi-millionaire John r.
Mclean, was considered a bril-
liant match. Together the two
entertained royalty and visiting
potentates.
Other Thrills Fade
But, listening to Mrs. McLean's
testimony in the Means-Whitaker
trial, you know that the big thrills
of her life faded in comparison
with her emotions as she waited
in her Massachusetts, Avenue
mansion that night for the Lind
bergh baby to be placed in her
arms.
For two months she and her
companion, Elizabeth Poe, lived a
mystery tale packed with excite
ment. Mysterious telephone calls
code Signals-meetings in dark
ened rooms. And contact with
what she believed to be one Of the
leaders in the crime Of the
century.
Book" and "Skirt"
She was warned, at the time
the baby was to be delivered to
her at Aiken, S. c., that machine
guns would be trained on her as
she received the precious book"
one of the code words for the
baby, that death would be her
portion if she double-crossed the
kidnapers.
On the witness stand yesterday
Mrs. McLane used the vernacular
Of the underworld delicately. She
spoke of the Skirt" lie. the
nurse declared to be caring for
the Lindbergh child.
Coming from her daintily rouged
lips, the word and others would
have been almost laughable if the
reality behind the imaginative
story had been less tragic.
Mark of Tragedy
The bitter ending of the tale,
however, has left it's marks on
Mrs. Mclean. Her voice, during
the testimony, was charged with
emotion as she spoke of her con-
Germ for the child's welfare.
And then at Ell Paso she told
''The Fox" she could not remain
longer because she must return to
her own children, the boys and
girl who had aroused her SYM
pathy for that other mother and
child.
You got the feeling as her
story rippled on that Mrs. Nc
Lean was not so anxious for the
return of her money as she was
that the two men, who had held |
out such false hopes, be punished.
The money, the 100000 for ran
som and the $4,000 for expenses,
appeared incidental.

Charges that the proposed

ans of the World War at a meet

Claude Babcock, past national

''MOre good can be realized

RAILROAD BILL
HELD BLOW To
WORKERS
Attorney for Brotherhoods
Sees Economies Affected at
Expense of Employees

A vigorous protest against the
Administration bill for emer-
gency railroad reorganization was
lodged before the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee today
by Donald r. Richberg, Of Chi
cago, attorney for the railroad
brotherhoods. He said:
Ninety per cent Of the Oper-
ating economies proposed under
this measure would be achieved
at the expense Of railroad en-
plOyes.'
The committee heard Rich
berg after Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Joseph B. East
man, a supporter of the bill, had
expressed apprehension that it
would throw many rail workers
out Of employment.
Long Urges 3O-Hour Week
A 3O-hour week on the railroads
was urged by Senator Long (D)
of Louisiana to sop up the loss
Of jobs"
Long drew from Eastman an
assertion that "the Government
could operate the railroads as
efficiently as they have been
operated in the past and proba-
bly, more So" The witness ex'
planned that "the present prob
ably isn't a good time for the
Government to take over the
roads, but Government ownership
is a contingency that ought to
be considered and studied"
Eight Amendments
There is possible no other So
luton than competition Of Gov
eminent ownership for the roads,
Richberg said, after offering eight
amendments to point out the
fundamental weakness Of the plan
to divide the roads into Eastern,
Western and Southern groups un-
der the direction Of a Federal CO.
ordinator.
The amendments are:
/. The co-ordinator' powers
should extend over motor, air,
water and other transportation
service.
2. The act should comprehend
measures to imprive labor condi-
tons.
3. To provide economic sta
bility, it is necessary to provide
for the participation of labor in
planning industrial operations.
4. It is intolerable for the car
rierS to seek Federal aid while
persisting in policy of general
evasion of the law.
5. The Government cannot now
assume the responsibility of de-
priving workers of employment
without at the same time assum-
ing responsibility for their future
support.
6. The coordinator, to increase
employment should be empowered
to rehabilitate and improve the
roads.
Z. Provision should be made to
provide for the retirement of un-
used property.
8. Reduction of fixed charges
is necessary.

many of the men complained of
being sick today.
Claims 1000 Here
Foulkrod said at the present
time there are nearly 1000 B. E.
F. veterans in Washington and
more are arriving each hour.
He said there are $50 from John
son City, Tenn; 200 from Rock
Island, ILL.,; ITS from st. Louis,
with 500 more expected momen-
tarily from that place; so from
Williamsport, Pa, and contin-
ge t arriving this morning from
Baltimore. Sixty of the veterans
are members of the United

manded by Sylvester Nolan.
Foulkrod said he has communi-
Gated with Brig. Gen. Pelham D.
Glassford, former Washington

fer with General Glassford today.
Nurse In Charge
Foulkrod said that Is women
would arrive here tomorrow from
Baltimore to help the cause. They
will be under the command of
Mrs. Callie Mathis, a former war
nurse.
When Foulkrod learned Of the
heavy detail of police at the Capt.
tol he said he had no intention
of marching on the Capitol in
a body. He said:
eve do not want to have
any trouble with police. I have
instructed my men they must
act in an orderly manner. Other
wise any untOward move would
tend to defeat our cause"
Foulkrod said many of the men
will be billetted in private homes
here until permanent quarters are
had. About 100 of the veterans
were given food and coffee at the
home of Mrs. Margaret Winstead,
a former. nurse, in the 1900 block
D st. N. E., today. John Newlin,
national adjutant of the B. E. F..
asked that food and donations of
any sort be sent the veterans in
an appeal made today.
Will See Gen. Hines
Foulkrod said he expected to
confer with Gen. Frank T. Hines,
head of the Veterans Adninistra-
ton, today in an effort to de-
termine whether a site would be
given for an encampment.
Included in the delegation to
see congressman today were j. c.
Stone. C. E. Brown. w. P. Sy-
mond, David j. Moore, G. E.
