No big team in recent years has. collected more on it's player insurance Ge., it's reserve strength) than the gay and giddy Giants of Old New York
 When Manager Terry broke his wrist this spring, Sambo Leslie stepped in and played so well at first that it was an embarrass- ing moment for Bill when he de- cided to declare himself back in the game. It was like trying to cut back into 'hot seat" in a poker game. Leslie was going so strong that it was a shame to oust him but others besides Ter ", of course, regard Terry as the ablest first baseman in the league and that was that.
 ,Blondy Ryan not only stepped in. to replace Travis Jackson at shortStop but he made Giant root CTS forget the Arkansas Traveller. Everyone knows how well Terry has built up his battery depart ment, considered the clubs most glaring weakness at the outset of the season.
 But what we started out to em- phasize was that the first base insurance wasn't cancelled, when Terry let Leslie go. The Giants have their eye on another under study, Joe Malay, who has been burning up the New York Penn League for the Scranton Club this season and adding fresh lustre to the family's baseball reputation.

48-to-20 Vote.
CHARGES OF BAD FAITH
AND REPUTATION MADE
Proponents Stress Welfare of Ma.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Amid cries of bad faith" and ere
pudiation" the Senate yesterday gave
final congressional approval to the ad-
ministration's resolution permitting
payment of all contracts in legal tender
money.
An overwhelming coalition of Demo-
Gratis and Western Republicans drove
through by vote of 48 to 20 the meas
ure requested by the administration,
eliminating the gold payment require
ment from all contracts, public and pri-
vate. either present or future.
This means that war debts, mortgages
and Liberty bonds, as well as all other
governmental and private obligations,
may be settled in legal tender money,
obviating the requirement that gold
shall be used.
The resolution had already passed the
House and needs only the signatures of
Vice President Garner and Speaker
Rainey before going to the White House.
Fail to Modify Measure.
Two attempts to modify the measure
by eliminating its retroactive features,
and to exclude governmental obliga-
tions, were rejected during a long day
of debate, 48 to 81 and 38 to 26, re-
spectively.
To protests that the resolution would
call for reputation of Government obli-
cations, defenders replied that the well
fare of the majority was supreme, and
that the Government had the right to
abrogate contracts in carrying out Its
constitutional function Of regulating
money.
For generations Americans will grow
red around the ears when they think
of the dishonest and dishonorable thing
this Congress did," the Pennsylvania
Republican, Reed, told his colleagues
In reply, Senator Borah, Republican
of Idaho said I'VE must cease to pay
tribute to the gold standard at the ex-
pense of the American people"
"It has been said that this resolu-
ton is reputation" Borah added
I'm not prepared to controvert that
fact But while the bondholder has
the technical right to demand payment
in gold, he must take his position with
the rest of the American people in the
sacrifice they have been making in the
last year and half.
Party Lines Split.
Party lines were split as the Senate
argued over the honor and constitu-
tionality of the proposal.

JOHNSON PLEA VAIN
FOR RECOVERY BILL
Manufacturers Cheer Speech,
but Stand Firm on MOdi-
ficati0n.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Hugh S. Johnson, administrator-to-
be Of the pending industrial recovery
act, yesterday lost a direct appeal to
the National Association of Manu-
facturers for support of the legislation
as sent to the Capitol by President
Roosevelt.
Shortly before the man chosen by the
Chief Executive to WELD the extraor-
dinary powers contained in the bill
went before the meeting of several
hundred manufacturers here. resolutions
had been approved insisting upon modi-
fications and these demands remained
unchanged.
The industrialists applauded Gen.
johnson vigorously after his character
istically hard-hitting speech explaining
the purposes of the bill, however, and
an officer of the association said "he
had sold himself 100 per cent as ad-
ministrator."
Green AssaiIs Association.
Meanwhile, President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
and Robert L. Lund of st. Louis, presi-
dent of the Manufacturers Association,
took sharp issue over the labor clauses
of the bill.
Green charged the opposition of the
association to the labor sections places
it in most selfish as well as most
inconsistent position"
They are consistent only in their
traditional opposition to the exercise
of the right of workers to organize into
bona fide trade unions" the labor
leader said in statement. ''The
Manufacturers Association is willing
that its members shall exercise the
right to organize, to establish a closed
shop, So far as employers are concerned,
under the protection of the Govern
ment, but they are unwilling to accord
labor the right to organize and to be
represented by. representatives OF their
own choosing"
Green said if the labor sections. a.
adopted by the House. are eliminated or
friends In Congress to vote against the
bill"
Prefers Present Situation.
Lund, on the other hand, told news
paper men "the manufacturers have
no desire to get an advantage over
labor from this bill"
I'VE would prefer that the present
situation between employer and en-
ploye continue" he said. "Our con-
ception of the proper result from this
bill would be that it would have no
effect upon the present relations"
Asserting the legislation was designed
mot as a labor act, but as an industrial
recovery act," Lund said: There is a
very apparent desire upon the part of
Mr.. Green's organization to use this

Danger that the Glass-Steagall bank
reform bill may fail of passage at the
present special session of Congress was
seen last night.
This would mean postponement for
another year of legislation designed to
strengthen the banking system; to di-
vorce national banks from their "af-
filiates" engaged in securities business;
to compel private banks like that of
]. P. Morgan g. Co. to become either
banks of deposit or investment houses;
to lay drastic rules against the use of
the resources of the Federal Reserve
banks for speculative purposes on the
stock market.
Push for Adjournment.

bill would not be so great if the con-

PLEA FOR REPEAL
Democratic Leaders Expect
President Will Issue Dr.
rect Appeal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSS
A direct appeal to the States to carry
out the Democratic campaign pledge
and ratify repeal of the prohibition
amendment is expected of President
Roosevelt by Democratic leaders.
With seven States already in line
for repeal and two others to vote on
the question next week, members from
dry and doubtful States have appealed
to Mr.. Roosevelt to join his Postmaster
General and national committee chair
man-James A. Fnrley-in making a
personal appeal for action. They have
gained the impression that he will do so.
Already the President has obtained a
provision in the tax section of the in
dustrial recovery bill which will allow
the abolition of the special taxes it
carries when and if revenues begin to
flow into the Treasury through REIN
statement of the liquor taxes that OBJ
tanned before prohibition.
Midwestern Democrats have urged
that the President speak his mind be-
fore Indiana votes this week. South
erners have asked that he make the
appeal before Alabama steps out on
July 18 as the first Southern State to
vote.
Illinois will vote with Indiana this
week.
&c May Act This Year.
Twenty three other States have set
their voting dates definitely for this
year, and there is a possibility OF &C
ton by the 36 necessary to ratlfy be-
fore the end of the year.
Meanwhile, prohibition leaders are
drawing their lines for fight in the
States classed by them as doubtful, of
which F. Scott Mcbride, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, says Indi-
ana is one.
Bishop James Cannon. jr, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
only Friday appealed to the pastors OF
his church to oppose repeal, pointing
out that rejection of the repeal resolu-
tion by the Southern States would de-
feat the national movement.
Here is the result in the seven States
that have voted on repeal:

CALL HOWE AGAIN
IN S1.40 KIT QUIZ
Senators Want to Review
Story of Connection.
Versions Conflict.

Confronted by mass of apparently
conflicting statements, the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee yesterday de-
cided to ask Louis McHenry Howe,
President Roosevelt's secretary, to tell
again his part in the purchase of
100000 toilet kits for reforestation
camp occupants from Be Vier & Co.,
Inc, of New York.
Maj. Gen. John L. Dewitt, quarter
master general of the Army, and aides
have told the committee that the kits,
which Robert Fechner. conservation
director, ordered at $1.40 each, could
be duplicated by the Army at from rs
cents to IS cents each.
The order for the kits, Richard B.
Be Vier, president of the company. told
the committee yesterday, was given May
Is. within two or three hours after he
had talked with Howe at the White
House and told him the company could
supply better kits for less than those
being issued camp workers by the
Army.
Lewis Douglas, director Of the budget;
F. w. Lowery, Douglas assistant VINO
was ordered recalled, too; Fechner and
j. j. McEntee, his assistant, were ques-
toned by the committee yesterday in
the inquiry into the purchase, launched
by a resolution by Senator Carey, Re
publican, of Wyoming.
Letter Gained Entry.
Be Vier told members he had obtained
letter from Basil O'Connor, whom he
identified as a former law partner OF
President Roosevelt and said was his
(Be Vier's) neighbor in New Rochelle,
N Y, to Howe to gain entry to his
Office.
In paraphrasing the letter, which he
said he did not now have, Be Vier said
in substance that it attested to his char
acter and his company's integrity and
said that his proposition might save
the Government some money in buying
the toilet articles for the camps.
Howe, who appeared before the COM
mittee on Thursday at his own request
to clear up" an impression that Howe
instructed Fechner to make the pur-
chase, at that time said "a man called
to see me and I do not know to this
dav who sent him." and that he had
asked the Budget Bureau to look into
Be Viers claims of better articles for
less
When Howe will appear has not been
determined by committee members, who
acted at Carey's request in deciding to
ask him to appear again, but Chairman
Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas, said that
it would be as quickly as possible.
Douglas, before the committee yester-
day, told members he was not asked to
investigate the matter until May ID,
after the order was given and that ther
President Roosevelt asked him to look
into it because a War Department
memorandum said the articles could
be supplied for less.

TO HOP OFF TODAY
First Lady to Take Trans
continental Air Trip
in Week.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt planned
to start at 9 o'clock this morning on
the first transcontinental air trip ever
taken by a Presidents wife, trip that
will give her an initial experience of
spending a night in the air.
Dining with Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House last night was Miss Mar
tina Ferguson. Tomorrow night, Mrs.
Roosevelt will dine with Miss Fergusons S
mother, Mrs. Isabella Greenway, out in

westward, under her wing"
Now Mrs. Roosevelt, going to visit
Elliott in Los Angeles, bears first-hand
greetings to Mrs. Greenway from her
daughter and her flance, Charles
Breasted, jr., also White House guest

No Public Engagements.
On basis as strictly personal as that
is the West Coast trip planned. Mrs.
Roosevelt accepted no public invitations
whatever, made no engagements except
with two intimate friends and members
of her own family.
With Mrs. Greenway, she expects to
spend "a hours in Tucson, getting to
that city from Washington as quickly
as she can fly on regular commercial
planes. She planned to arrive there
about AIS pm. tomorrow.
The only persons she made place
for on her schedule en- route were rela-
tives, Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Water
bury. jr., of Tyler, Tex, whom she
telegraphed to have breakfast with her
in Dallas about ITO am. tomorrow II
they could arrange it, there being an
hour and a half between planes" in

! Nancy Cook, who has never been west
of Chicago, accompany her and see the
Grand Canyon, was Cancelled because
of the illness of Miss Cooks father

poets to spend only one day and two
| nights arriving about $50 pm. Tues

Then straight back she'll be flying, tt
reach New York Friday and spend next
week end with her godmother and dou-
BILE cousin, Mrs. Henry Parrish at
Llewellyn Park, East Orange, N. j.
What will you do while f1ying?'
Mrs Roosevelt was asked.
Il shall read I shall write. I shall
knit" she answered.
Conquers Fear. !.
Mrs. Roosevelt has no fear of trav-
cling by air.
THAT does not mean that am not a
physical coward" she explained. Il
am afraid of all sorts of things, but !
always make myself do the thing am
frightened of doing"
Then she told of her particular dis
like of snakes and how once when her
two youngest boys were studying nature
and going on nature hikes, they all went
to the Natural History Museum in New
York. The director was showing with
pride some new acquisitions in the snake
line and he asked Mrs. Roosevelt If she
wouldn't like to hold one.
II realized" she said that I would
lose all prestige with my boys If I didn't
do it, so I held 1t until the director res
cued me- Since then am happy to say
have never had to touch one"
