GLASS BANK BILL
WILL Be HELD Up
Advocates Decide Not to Risk
Last-Minute FiIibuSter
on Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Advocates Of the Glass-Steagan bank
reform bill, with its deposit insurance
provisions, yesterday decided that it
might be better to hold up the bill until
Congress meets again. Their decision
was influenced by threats of filibuster
and the approaching end Of this session.
In two-hour conference, Represent
atives of the House and Senate failed
to agree on compromise Of differences
in the bills passed by the two branches.
But they defeated a motion to eliminate
the controverted deposit insurance pro-
visions so the rest of the measure could
be sent to the President.
Chairman Steagan of the House
Banking Committee said:
Because of this situation, 1t might
be better to delay q conference report
until the next session. I understand
that Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
OF Michigan, Is ready to fllibuster If
we don't adopt his amendment making
the insurance effect Immediately. He
can't do that"
Vandenberg earlier had told the Sen
ate that conferees were at odds over
the insurance of deposits.
1T is not an issue between the two
Houses" he said 1T is an issue be-
tween the President and his Secretary
Of Treasury and Congress. Let Con-
greSs do something on its own RESPONSE
bility. Let the President exercise his
executive power If he doesn't agree"
Delaying a conference report until
the next session would not deprive the
bill of its status as one that already
has passed both House and Senate.

SENATE APPROVES
| D.C.PUBL|C WORKS.
Passes Amendments for
Washington to Share in In
dustriaI Bill Benefits.

The Senate today adopted the Sec
ond of two amendments designed to
allow the District of Columbia to share
with the States in the $400, 100000
highway program under the public
works section Of the industrial recovery
bilfS
The first amendment, agreed to last
night, enlarged the definition Of the
area affected by the section to include
the District of Columbia. The other
amendment, which was accepted this
afternoon, amends the Federal highway
act of 1921 for the purpose of insuring
participation by the District in the
highway money carried in this bill
BY vote of IS to 20, the Senate
also this afternoon sustained the FL
nance Committee amendment under
which the highway fund will be allo-
Gated among the States and the Dis
trict according to the formula in the
1921 highway act, namely: One-th1rd
on the basis of population, one-third
on the basis of area of each jurisdic-
ton, and one-third according to the
mileage of postal delivery rural routes
of each jurisdiction.
The House bill would have allotted
half of the fund on the basis of pop
ulation, one-third on area and one
third on mileage. This would have
been more advantageous to thickly
populated sections of the country. The
vote in the Senate. however, was over
whelmingly in support of the commit
tee amendment providing for the 1921
formula. The highway act OF 1921
also provides that no State shall re-
ceive less than one-half of l per cent
of the fund to be distributed, and
under this clause the District Of Colum-
bia would share to the extent OF
81, 900. 900.
While the exact amount to be spent
in the District will not be known until
the method Of allocating the fund is
worked out, it has been estimated that,
as the measure came from the COM
mittee, the share available in Washing
ton would be 100000.

AMENDED RAIL BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Senate Approval Only Step
Necessary for Final Con-
greSSi0naI Action.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House today approved the ad-
ministration's amended railroad bill.
leaving only Senate action necessary to
send the measure to the President.
The differences in the Senate and
House bills were agreed to yesterday by
the conferees of the two houses.
The bill, in its final form, still pro-
vides for a Federal co-ordinator to
order and assist in reorganizations that
will aid the railroads to get back on
a paying basis. The conferees, how
ever, struck out language inserted by
the House that would have permitted
merging of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph Cos.
The measure also assesses railroads
$1.50 a mile for money to pay the ex-
penses of the co-ordinator; accepts the
House amendment giving unorganized
labor representation in negotiations be-
tween carriers and the employees; for
bids dismissal of employees in reorgan-
izations but permits vacancies resulting
from retirements or deaths to remain
untitled, and leaves unchanged the pres
ent rate-making base instead of pro-
viding return upon the prudent in
vestment" or reproduction basis, as
called for in Senate amendment.

raging, and will escort the steamer to
this port
Contact was effected 240 miles East
Of Boston, the Wainwright reported.
The message of her commander said
nothing about the fire, and it was as
sumed the steamers crew probably had
1t under control.
The Arizpa, bound from Mobile to
Bremen, Germany, Is carrying IS 900
bales Of cotton beside lumber and resin.
The fire was first reported yesterday
in messages from the freighter's cap
tain which expressed the belief the
flames could be confined to one hold
until the steamer made port.
She was 500 miles East of Boston
at the time of receipt of the first news
OF the fire here, but had steamed West

"PLANNED ECONOMY"
HIT AS DANGEROUS
DR.. Anderson of Chase National
Bank Strikes at Govern
ment Control.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated freSS.
NEW YORK, June 9.-The opinion
that "so-called planned economy" Is
one of the most dangerous of the pro-
posals of the new economics" was
voiced last night by DR.. Benjamin M.
Anderson, jr., economist of the Chase
National Bank of New York.
Addressing the Pilgrims of the United
States at dinner given here in honor
of Sir Josiah Stamp, British economist,
DR.. Anderson criticized the doctrines Of
what he described as the new eco
nomics.'
Although not mentioning by name
the administrations proposed national
industrial recovery bill, his remarks on
planned economy were interpreted as
applying to many of the outstanding
features of this measure.
I'm general it is not the function of
government under the present system
to produce goods or to perform eco
nomic services" he said. THE actual
direction of industry, the decision
whether more shoes shall be produced
and less hats, is not made by the state
or by collective society, but is left to
the choice of independent producers.
IF a government of a collective sys-
tenn undertakes to regulate the business
of country as whole and to guide
and control production, there Is re-
quired a central brain of such vast
power that no human being who has
yet lived, or can be expected to live,
can supply it."

ALCOHOL AS FUEL
FOR AUTOS TESTED
Blends With Gasoline Given
Rigid Examination in
Road Trials.

With Eddie Rickenbacker, noted war
ace, and a group of prominent Gov
eminent and private scientists and
engineers sitting as judges, tests were
conducted today of the value of alco-
hol as a motor fuel
Test runs were conducted over a
measured mile on the Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway by five automobiles
using blends ranging from 1 to IL per
cent Of alcohol The test cars were
both high and low compression.
Experiments by A. A. A.
The experiments were inaugurated
jointly by the American Automobile
Association and Representative Dirksen,
Republican, of Illinois, author of legis-
lation to require the use of alcohol as
a blend with gasoline as means OF
farm relief. Experts of the Bureau
Of Standards, under the direction of
DR.. H. c. Dickinson, chief of the heat
and power division and president of the
Society of Automotive Engineers, took
prominent part in the work.
Aside from A. A. A. and Government
officials. other interested observers in
cluded DR.. j. F. T. Berlinger, Whining
ton, Del, chemist DR.. Leo M. Chris
tianson, University of Iowa; P. F. Pic
cerelli, New York chemist; S. Bevin,
Tidewater Oil scientist, and Prof. G. G..
Brown of the University of Michigan.
If the use of alcohol is required by
law, the gasoline bill of the Nation
would increase some $500, 900, &C
cording to estimates of one of the A. A.
A. officials. The cost per gallon would
be boosted to cents.
Test Fuel Consumption.
The alcohol blends were injected into
the carburetors of the test cars through
special calibrated tubes. The cars were
driven at a 45-mile speed up to the
start of the course, the regular gaso-
line then cut off and the car held at
the same speed throughout the mile,
using the blended fuel
At the end of the run the amount OF
blended fuel used was checked to COM
pare with the amount of ordinary gaso-
line consumed in the same distance.
Later tests are to be made on dyna-
mometers at the Bureau Of Standards
and the results of the whole expert
ment made public next week.

PLAN PAY INCREASE
IN STEEL INDUSTRY
Considering 10 Per Cent Ad-
vance and Conforuance to
New Control Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Juns Sit was
learned authoritatively ttday that the
steel industry plans to Increase wages
10 per cent July /, having discussed
and rejected Is per cent boost.
The increase, with formation of Com
pany unions" is part of a plan being
worked out under direction of officers
of the American Institute of Iron and
Steel to effect quick and smooth
transfer to operation under the Roose-
velt industrial control bin.
The prevailing scale for steel Ia
an hour and the work from two to five
days week This compares with A
cents an hour paid in the normal
year of 1927.
Position Explained.
Explaining that their comment might
be misconStrued while the industrial
control plan is still under discussion,
executives refuse to be quoted, but pri-
vately outline the situation as follows:
Ruthless price cutting seems definitely
halted, with resultant change within
the past 30 days from sellers to a
buyers market.
Most concerns are turning down Or
ders subject to cancellation after more
than 80 days. Quotations for delivery
in the third or fourth quarters will be
difficult to obtain until after July /.
The purchaser thus is forced to buy
and carry his own stock, one thing re-
sponsible for the recent rapid increase
of production. New orders for tin plate
placed by the canning industry, how
ever, are responsible for most OF the
Pittsburgh increase.
Markets Unsettled.
Unsettled foreign markets, which took
S200,000,000 worth of steel from the
tri-State area in 1929 and less than
$2O,O60,O0O last year, coupled with re-
fusal of railroads to lower rates, have
slowed Pittsburgh's production recovery.
The fact that most of the Pittsburgh
mills are designed for heavy" steel
is another factor
Refusal of the railroads to lower
freight rates to lake ports, not an
nounced publicly but given to the steel
men privately, has been a particularly
hard blow to hopes of getting larger
part of the automotive trade-a busi-
ness that furnished 18 per cent of the
entire steel output in 1929.
The fight for a revision Of these al
legged injustices, which will have to be
settled within the industry, has drawn
most of the steel company executives
to Washington this week.
BINGHAMTON, N. Y, June R.-
A wage increase of per cent for the

son Corporation, shoe manufacturers

(His hope of beating Post and Gatty

NEW FRENCH DEBT
DEFAULT EVIDENT
Premier, Queried on Foreign
Policy, Avoids Any Mention
of Payment to U. S.
BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, June 9.-Another French de-
fault, affecting the war debt payment
due the United States June Is, became
evident today as Premier Daladier, re-
plying in the Chamber of Deputies to
interpretations on foreign policy, avoided
any mention of the debts
The premier restricted himself to the
governments policies at the World Eco
nomic Conference opening next week in
London and to the reasons for initiating
the MusSolini four-power peace pact.
He is leaving for London Sunday to
head the French delegation to the con-
ference, and the chances of the debts
coming up in the Chamber are steadily
fading.
France defaulted in the $19,000.000
debt payment last December. The in
stalment due June Is is about $40,-
600 o00 The approval of the Chamber
of Deputies is necessary before either
payment may be made.

to bring about Senate agreement to his
substitute for the Connally amendment.
The substitute proposal was describ-
ed by Representative Lea of California,
a member Of the special veterans COM
mittee. as more fair, both to the vet
Grams and the Government, than the
Connally amendment"
Acceptance of the Presidents sub
Stitute is regarded as bringing to an
end a bitter controversy between the
administration and the Congress. The
appropriation for the veterans compen-
sation, carried in the independent
offices bill as passed by the Senate, with
the Connally amendment, was increas-
ed $170,000,000 over the budget figures.
President Roosevelt threatened to keep
Congress in session until it had passed
additional tax legislation to raise the
money required under the Connally
amendment If that amendment was
agreed to.
Various Estimates Made.
Various estimates have been made as
to how much the substitute proposal
for the Connally amendment would
cut into the Presidents economy pro-
gram. Members of the Democratic
Steering Committee said they thought
the substitute might require the ex-
penditure of from s6o,000,000 to $75,-
100000. 1t is understood this can
be taken care Of, however, without the
imposition Of additional taxation. It Is
approximately $100,000,000 less than
the expenditure which would be re-
quired under the Connally amendment
Members Of the Steering Committee
said the President had promised to deal
sympathetically with the Spanish
American War veterans in the class
between SIS and 81 years of age. Those
81 years old and over are to be kept
on the rolls anyway.
