SIX PARTNERS OWE

Disclosed by Senate

DAVIS REVEALS FACTS
AT CLOSED SESSION
Pecora to Ask Additional Funds
to Continue Investigation
Through Summer Recess.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Though the Senate investigation of
the Morgan Banking House was sus-
pended for the week end, the inquisi-
tors today gave to the public fresh
news-that half dozen of the 20 part
ners of the firm are in debt to it.
The names of the six were withheld,
but the information was considered of
Importance by some of the Senators
who, pointing out that national banks
are not permitted to make loans to
their own officers, maintain private
banks such as j. P. Morgan's should be
under Government regulation and SUBJ
ject to similar restrictions.
The information about the partners
was given to the committee in execu-
tive session yesterday by John w. Davis,
attorney for the Morgan firm.
Dispute in Committee.
For the public, this news added just
one more detail to the inside informa-
ton on the House of Morgan revealed
this week for the first time in four long
and sensational days of hearings, with
j. P. Morgan and several Of his part
ners under relentless questioning by the
members of the Senate Banking Com
mittee and their counsel, Ferdinand
Pecora
Given a breathing spell until next
Wednesday, committee Investigators be-
gan intensive preparation for further
disclosure of lony-hidden Morgan Sc
crets. but whether they would be per-
mitted to complete their work depended
upon the outcome of dispute raging
within the committee, and upon the
will of the Senate.
A controversy over the course OF the
inquiry bubbled to the surface yester-
day when Senator Glass, Democrat, OF
Virginia heatedly demanded that Pc
cora inform the committee where ne
was headed.
Spectators burst into applause as
Pecora defended his activities and other
Senators quickly came to his support.
But the issue still was to be decided
by the. committee and the Senate.
More Funds Needed.
The Senate comes in because the
committee will soon need more money.
An appropriation of $4,000 was voted
yesterday. but it will only last short
while. Pecora has asked $4,000 to
carry the work through the Summer
recess.
Whatever the final decision, how
ever. much of the mystery which has
surrounded the Morgan house since its
formation has been dissipated
Before the uproar broke yesterday,
Pecora brought out that the Morgan
firm has an interest in utility companies
supplying almost a quarter of the Ma
tion's gas and electricity. and covering
territory inhabited by more than S5.-
100000 persons.
He also showed that in forming the
United Corporation, through which it
reaches into the utility companies, the
Morgan firm obtained 100000 options
for common stock in the holding COM
pany at $50 below their prices less than
month later.

Roosevelt Seeks to Discour-
age Hordes Reported on
Way to Washington.

With the view to turning back hordes
of veterans understood to be heading
for Washington to obtain admission to
the Civilian Conservation Camps. Presi-
dent Roosevelt today issued a statement
to the effect that the conditioning
camps in the vicinity of this city have
been filled to capacity by veterans who
have taken advantage of his offer to
permit 5000 of them to enter the Con-
servation Corps.
The statement, which included re-
port from Gen. Hines, administrator
of veterans affairs, follows in full:
THE President has received report
from Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, ad-
ministrator of veterans affairs, advis-
ing that conditioning camps in the

advantage of the Presidents offer to
permit 25,000 of them to enter the

operation with director of the emer-
gency conservation work and the War
Department to make any further ar
rangements looking to the admission
to this work of any veterans now in
Washington who have not been &C
commodated or who may prospectively
reach Washington for the purpose of
entering this work
Ito my mind it is Of the utmost
urgency that veterans now proceeding
to Washington be urged to return to
their homes as we'll as for veterans
planning to come to Washington for
this purpose to give up such plans, as
nothing can be accomplished here.
THE fact that these veterans have
been initially handled under special
conditions should not be interpreted by
veterans outside of Washington as
prejudicing their interests in joining
the emergency conservation work.
Charged Against States.
"'The men handled locally will be
charged against established States
quotas and under the same terms as
men have been cared for locally will
veterans be cared for throughout the
United States through the field Offices
of the Veterans Administration.
Regional managers of the Vet
erans' Administration have already been
given tentative instructions looking to
the initial consideration Of applications
for veterans for membership in the
veterans contingent of the emergency

10 days complete instructions will have
been sent to the managers of the field
