Thornton justified all payments

made without knowledge of the

said, in order that they might not

Details of the extraordinary
efforts through which Midwest
public utility interests endeavored,
through creation of a maze of
corporations and common law
trusts" to circumvept the La Fol
lette law prohibiting acquisition
of control of DistricS public utili-
ties, were revealed, so far as the
Washington Gas Light Company
is concerned, in a hearing at the
Federal Trade Commission today.
The hearing, conducted by John
w. Bennett, began yesterday and
is designed to bring to light the
affairs of Central Public Service
Corporation, a holding company
which apparently had close rela-
tionships with the Chase National
Bank and Harris, Forbes & Co,
and about which centered nu-
merous corporate subsidiaries.
Received $235,OOO
Examiner Robert E. Healy, ex-
amining Robert j. Ryder as to
his investigations of the books
of the corporations involved,
brought out today that appar-
emily Albert E. Pierce, who has
figured rahher mysteriously in
Washington Gas Light Company
affairs, appeared to have received
$235,OO0 for certain services
whose nature and value were not
evident.
The report on Washington Gas
Light Company cites that:
"While Central Public Ser
vice Company or its affiliates
have not held direct control Of
the stock of the Washington
Gas Light Company, they were
the means of furnishing capital
so that Washington and Sub
ban Companies, a MaSsachu-
sets trust, could, among other
things, acquire "a per cent Of
the capital stock of Washing
ton Gas Light Company"

Proceeds For Loans
Bonds of the government cor
poration may be exchanged for
mortgages or sold and the pro-
ceedS used to make loans.
The corporation is directed to
negotiate with home owners and,
if the holder of the mortgage &C
ceptS less than face value, the
home owner shall have the benefit.
Loans shall be made at S per
cent interest on a 15-eyar basis.
The corporation may advance
cash to pay taxes in connection
with the loans.
Organization of Federal savings
and loan associations as local
thrift and home financing inSti-
tutions in communities not having
adequate facilities is proposed.
To Develop Thrift
The 100000 for develop
ment of local thrift institutions
is designed to help establish them
in one-third of the counties of the
nation, which have no means of
financing homes.
The present Federal home loan
bank system, which now is max
ing loans totaling about $10,0OO,-
900 week, can continue to do
so. The system is expected to be
expanded, Senator Robinson said.
Special provision is made to
give the home owner, when
necessary, a moratorium on his
principal and interest payments
not exceeding three years during
the life of the Government loan.
Robinson said:
"It is estimated that ap-
prOximately $2O,OOO,OOO,OO is
outstanding in home mort
cages in the United States and
the Administration is making
an effort by this bill, first and
primarily, to give an immedi-
ate relief to the small home
owner now in distress, and to
the mortgages holding these
mortgages and to provide for
the payment Of taxes to pre-
vent the loss Of homes and at
the same time to promote the
development of q sound Sys-
tenn of permanent home
financing"
The bill is expected to be ad-
vanced rapidly in both Senate
and House.

Vocal Demands for One Kind
or Another Threaten to
Jam Farm Relief

Increasingly vocal demands for
currency initiation today threat
ened to prolong debate on the
Roosevelt administrations farm
relief measure.
House champions Of an ex-
panded currency sought to bring
about a test vote on the Frazier
substitute for the Administrators
$4,000, 600, 900 farm mortgage re-
financing bill.
The substitute, authorizing q
huge issue Of Federal Reserve
notes based on Government farm
mortgage bonds, also was pend
ing in the Senate.
Wheeler's 16-tO-1
other inflationary amendments
before the Senate included a sill
yer coinage bill at a 16-to-1 ratio,
sponsored by Senator Wheeler
(D.) of Montana, and a composite
bill by Senator Thomas CD Of
Oklahoma.
The Thomas measure would
authorize the President in his
discretion to initiate the currency
by any of four methods.
These would include issuance
Of paper money without metallic
reserves to back it; the coinage
of gold and silver in any ratio
which the President might fix;
devaluation of the gold dollar;
and Stabilization of the dollar
against a commodity price index.
Senator Long CD Of Louisiana
planned to offer a silver purchase
bill as an amendment to the farm
bill.
Vote Due Today
Long hailed the reported resig-
nation Of Eugene Meyer, Federal
Reserve Board chairman, as an
indication that the Presidents
financial advisers might work
for sound expansion of the cur
rency or devaluation of the gold
dollar"
A vote was set for today on the
Senate Agriculture Com mitt e e
amendment to insure farmers the
cost of production on the portion
Of their basic farm products con-
sumed in the domestic market.
The Secretary of Agriculture
would invoke this provision at his
option using direct price-fixing
methods.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, insisted
the farm bill would be out Of the
way by Saturday.

ROW
THREATENS
HOUR BILL
Administration Is Opposed to
Proposal Endangering
Tariff Cuts Plan

Disagreement over the Black 30
hour-week bill, much of it behind
the scenes, today threatened en-
barrassment for the Administra-
ton in its effort to lower world
tariff barriers.
With the President preparing
to ask Congress for authority to
negotiate reciprocal tariff treaties,
determined House bloc prom
ised a stiff fight to place an
embargo upon foreign importa-
tions not produced on the 80
hour week.
This proposal is flatly opposed
by Administration spokesmen,
who declare it would entail a
complete reversal of the Govern
ment's ambitious policy to restore
international trade.
Demand for Exemptions
The struggle over the 3O-hour
week bill was intensified by the
demand Of manufacturers for ex-
emptions from it's provisions.
While Secretary of Labor Per
kins met this argument to a
considerable extent by proposing
flexibility to the House Labor
Committee, all members are not
satisfied.
Representative Ramspeck D0
Of Georgia, ranking majority
member, said he would propose
an amendment giving the Secre-
tary of Labor or some other
authority power to grant exemp-
tions. He added:
"The purpose of the bill is
to spread employment, and if
there is an instance where it
would not do so, it should not
be enforced. This, of course,
would be subject to prohibiting
anyone from employing a per-
son for an excessive number Of
hours"
He declared there are instances
where manufacturers lack housing
facilities for the added number
that would be needed with a 30
hour-week bill.
Changes Approved
The Perkins proposal, to create
a board which would give plants
authority to work on a 40-hour
basis for 10 weeks a year, and
allowing employees to work more
than six hours a day if they do
not work over 80 hours a week,
were generally approved by friends
of the bill.
Representative Welch (R.) of
c a lif orn Ia and Representative
Griswold CD of Indiana both
said they would back the provi-
sion requiring imported goods to
be made on the 30-hour-week
basis. Chairman Connery CD of
Massachusetts, has served notice
that he will oppose the bill unless
it contains the important amend
ment. Griswold said:
II believe we must provide
this protection for American
labor"
Welsh said he had received
kilograms from manufacturers on
the Pacific Coast stating their
business would be taken over by
Japan unless protection is af-
forded.
Cigar Men Protest
The division of opinion over
the question of exemptions and
the foreign imports dispelled
much of the cheer which came
to friends Of the bill after Sec
retary Perkins said she favored
the measure in principle.
Meantime, Senator Black (D0
of Alabama was seeking a vote
in the Senate on the pending mo-
ton to reconsider the bill.
The reconsideration was de-
manded by Senator Trammel CD
of Florida as a result of protests
from Florida cigar makers that
they would be put out of business
unless protection is provided
against foreign manufacturers
working on a long-hour basis.
