had caused her considerable worry, Mrs.
Reinburg said.
A widow, Mrs. Martin had been
well known in Washington society for
years.
After leaving the Post six years ago,
Mrs. Martin had occupied herself as an
interior decorator, becoming unusually
successful, according to friends. Shortly
before her death, she had started work
on a book, presumably covering her ex-
periences as society editor, during the
Harding and Coolidge administrations.

For several years after leaving the
Post, she lived abroad. maintaining an
apartment in Paris and visiting her first
cousin, George Reinburg, military at

which would set up $500 000, 900 fund
for direct grants to States and establish
a new Federal relief policy. The need
for prompt action on this legislation
was not so pressing in view Of the
amendment removing the borrowing re-
striction from the loan fund already
authorized. but some Senate leaders
thought 1t might be advisable to seek
action now.
Blocked in Senate.
Consideration of the $500 900 900 re-
lief bill was blocked in the Senate today
by Senator McNary. Republican leader,
but the measure was taken up for in
formal debate.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, Of New
York, submitted the Banking Commit
tees favorable report on the broad re-
lief plan, and asked for its immediate
consideration. but McNary objected.
He consented. however. to begin In
formal debate on the measure today in
the absence of any other Senate busi-
ness and Wagner Immediately under
took an explanation of the bill.
After wagner had explained the
terms of the measure, the Senate re-
cessed until tomorrow when its formal
consideration will begin.
The House received a formal ma ajor-
ity report from the Labor Committee
indorsing the reforestation bill and one
from Chairman Connery, expressing
strong opposition. Connery fought the
original Roosevelt plan and it was re-
written to meet his and the objections
of the American Federation Of Labor.
Connery renewed his objections that
if the bill becomes law these workers
will be regimented and physically ex-
amined'; that 'the cash allowance will
not exceed 81 per day; that "the
American public will know that the
Congress which favors this bill fully
realized" a $l-a-day wage was pro-
posed.
"The establishment Of q wage scale
of 81 q day for American workers by
Congress may provide the excuse by
some in private industry to revise
downward the already low wages paid
to labor" Connery asserted.

The homely philosophy Of Christian

Tall, but chunkily built and with a
sturdy shock of gray hair flying as he

half-hour as witness.
"You think conditions are such that
the farmer shouldn't worry, but should

Shipstead.

President Roosevelt plans to call q
conference - probably Saturday OF
railroad operators. labor and shippers
to 60 over his program for the rehabil-
itation Of the country's rail transporta-
tion.
The plan. whipped into shape after
extensive conferences, went to the
President yesterday.
It includes q proposal for q Federal
co-ordinator with extraordinary power
to supervise reorganizations, and also
embodies repeal OF the recapture clause
Of the transportation act and Federal
regulation Of holding companies. two
leg1slation pending in the House.
Fixed Charges Reduction.
Readjustment Of top-heavy financial
structures through appropriate reduc-
ton Of fixed charges Is one Of the OBJ
5ectives OF the program, while the CO.
ordtnator also would be given author
ity to suggest and recommend consol-
idations In the interest Of efficiency and
economy.
Another proposal that has been
pressed vigorously in the days Of con-
ferences here over emergency railroad
legislation would have pooled the inter-
ests Of the roads for the elimination OF
milage and operating costs. This, how
ever. has been side tracked.
The measure that went to President
Roosevelt's desk yesterday emanated
from q conference of experts headed by
Secretary Of Commerce Roper and In
cluding Joseph B. Eastman. q member
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. and w. w. Splawn, rail authority.
They have consulted frequently and
at considerable length in secret hearings
With the railroad executives and others
interested in the problem.
Executives to Meet

consider the legislation.
Power is given by the legislation for
the President to name the proposed CO.

heard In the discussion, including East
man and Carl Gray, president of the
Union Pacific.
Othr legislation not regarded as OF
an emergency character, including reg

RUSSIA PLANS PROTEST.
Moscow Dislikes Nazi Raid on Soviet
Trade Office.

MOSCOW, March 20 R.-The raid
in Hamburg, Germany, yesterday by
criminal and political police on branch
of the Soviet trade delegation today
drew caustic reproach from the news
paper Izvestia, which said "our gov
ernment will not accept this outrageous
procedure without the most energetic
protest"
(The police in raiding the trade dele
cation office yesterday said they were
searching "for a person whose arrest
had been ordered" The offices were
searched without finding the man they
sought, but the delegations records
were not disturbed)
Contrasting the action with q decla-
ration in the Reichstag by Chancellor
Hitler that Germany hopes to con-
solidate its good neighborly relations
with Soviet Russia, the newspaper ex-
pressed doubt that Herr Hitler's gov
ernment would be capable Of guaran-
teeing the development Of normal re-
lations between these two countries.
It added: I'VE now have full con-
firmation our doubts were entirely justi-
fed The Hamburg raid shows that al
though the present German govern
ment has declared itself a government
with Q firm hand nevertheless 1t seems
that its right hand does not know what

TAX AND DUTY MAY BAR
IMPORTATION OF BEER
Federal Charge on Brew From
Abroad Will Amount to $36
Per Barrel.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Beer can be shipped into the United
States from foreign countries-but the
prohibitive tax is expected to keep the
dow to q trickle.
Following compaint from Munich,
Germany, that consuls declined to
issue invoices for shipments to Amer
lea, customs authorities decided there
was no objection so long as the brew
did not arrive before April Z, and the
State Department so notified consuls
over the world.
However, it must carry the $5-per-
barrel tax provided for the domestic
beverage, and an import duty of 81 a
gallon, which adds up to $50 on the
usual 31-gallon barrel. At that rate,
officials don't look for much foreign
beer.

u. s. CONTROL Of OIL
| Winning SUPPORT
Oil Plan of lckes Temporarily
Approved by Representa-
tives at Conference.

Governors representatives attending
the oil conference today gave tentative
approval of Federal control in the
petroleum industry. which is being con-
sidered by Secretary of the Interior
Ickes.
The plan, drafted by q subcommittee
representing the Governors, the major
oil interests and one faction Of inde-
pendent producers. calls for Interstate
Commerce authority on oil shipments.
Details Of the program were being
discussed at meetings today with Sec
retary Ickes.
President to Get Draft.
A final draft Of the plan, which in
cludes State proration, will be submitted
by the Secretary to President Roose-
welt later in the day. The plan con-
templates giving q Government repre-
sentative wide power to enforce orders
designed to curtail the unrestricted now
of oil that has demoralized the indus
try.
The proposal in its final form will
be considered at conference Of the
day.
The plan was assailed today in state
ment from j. Edward Jones, a member
of the Independent Petroleum Associa-
ton Opposed to Monopoly. Of which
John B. Elliott Of Los Angeles Is head
Jones said:
"The recommendation. of the Ameri-
can oil monopoly for an oil car is con-
crete evidence Of the dangerous attempt
which is being made to subject the eco
nomic elements of the petroleum indus
try to complete domination and control
Of the industry by the Standard OIL Co.
Basis Held False.
1.-THE basis upon which such control Is
asked, that OF over production Is false
and the announced aims, stabilization
and prevention Of waste, are hypocriti-
cal in the extreme"
Jones said the industry needed moth
ing more than rigid enforcement Of the
antitrust laws.
Elliott's delegation planned to carry its
cght to the White House today, by pre-
senting its case to President Roosevelt
at q private conference. The President
has been keeping in close touch with
proceedings at the oil meetings.
Political Move Seen.
Political significance attaches to the
move by this group. since Elliott played
an important role in the Roosevelt
election. Long associate and intimate
of Senator McAdoo, he conducted the
campaign which carried California for
Garner, acted as chief strategist for
McAdoo at the Chicago convention and
managed the Roosevelt -McAdoo battle
in California after Roosevelt and Gar
ner were nominated. He was to act Is
spokesman for his independent asso-
ciates before the President today.
The Elliott group, all of whom were
to accompany their chairman to the
White House, includes q score Of the
largest independent producers and re-
finers OF California, Oklahoma and
Texas They state that they represent
actual production Of 100000 barrels Of
Oil daily and a potential production Of
more than a million barrels.
