War Up in
Senate

A Senate investigation Of
charges attributed to Henry Ford
that New York bankers are seek
ing to prevent production on the
New Ford cars was urged today
by Senator Black Cd, of Ala
bama. He said:
81 think Ford's statement is
squareIy in line with testimony
given yesterday before the SEN
ate judiciary Committee that
banks dominate industry
through interlOcking director
ates." .-.
Black pointed to evidence laid
before the Judiciary Committee
by John P. Frey, secretary-treas-
urer of the metal trades depart
ment of the A. F. of L., that
through interlocking directorates,
the New York banks have
achieved widespread domination
over the automobile and other
industries.
Frey offered evidence yesterday
to support his charges that by
means of a web of interlocking
directorates, 16 private banks
control the leading commercial
banks of New York and these
in turn control thousands of in
duStIies.

DIVIDEND SLASH
BYSTEELSEEN

NEW YORK, Jan. % GN.s).
A downward adjustment or omis-
sion of the dividend rate on the
U. S. Steel Corporation Z per cent
cumulative preferred stock is re-
garded as likely at the forthcom-
ing meeting of directors next Tues
day afternoon, according to au-
thorltative quarters today.
Such action is deemed neces-
sary in view of the heavy drain
on the company's working capital
brought about by operating losses
in 1882.
The December quarterly report
to be made public next week is
expected to show a loss from
operations of around $4,000 900,
while the total loss fo rthe three
months after interest and charges
is estimated to run to about
$22,000,0O0.

RELIEF ON
CALENDAR
Roosevelt Believed Favorable
to La Toilette Measure
to Assist JobleSS

The revised La Follette-Cos-
tigan bill for $500,000,000 in
direct Federal relief to the
unemployed took its place to-
day on the Senate calendar
for early consideration.
Strong bipartisan support was
accorded the bill and its sponsors
predicted it would win Senate ap-
proval with no essential changes
made on the floor.
Many of the objections lodged
against the La Toilette -Costigan
relief bill offered at the last ses-
sion Were removed when the
present measure was redrafted.
Word was passed among Demo
cratic Senators that President
elect Roosevelt favors its enact
rnent.
Called a Disgrace"
In a report written by Senator
La Toilette CR0 of Wisconsin on
behalf of the Senate Manufac.
turers Committee, existing relief
methods were characterized as "a
national disgrace"
La Toilette warned that the
dire immediate effects of starva-
ton, which he described as "hor-
rible' in many sections, would
be "overshadowed in years to
come by the unavoidable social
and economic costs of caring for
these millions Of men, women and
children who are permanently
damaged"
Under the bill. 100000, 900
would be apportioned to the States
on a population basis, as rapidly
as might be needed. Such appor-
tionments, however, could not eX-
ceed two-thirds of the maximum
amount spent in each State from
all relief sources within the State.
20 Million For N. Y.
New York would receive $780,
181, 1922 out of this fund. Penn
sylvania, second on the list, would
receive SIS, AL ,466. Other allot-
ments would include: Maryland,
$2,615,744; and West Virginia, $2,.
772,348.
The other $500, 100000 would be
distributed on a basis of need.
The funds would be admin
istered by State agencies, subject
to supervision of an appointive
Federal board of three members,
with the R. F. C. serving as fiscal
agent.

SIR RONALD
GETS CALL
To WARM
SPRINGS
Elimination of "ConfIict"' in
AngIo-American Views Be-
Iieved ParIey'S Aim
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

Presi dent-elect Roosevelt
has invited Sir Ronald Lind
say, the British ambassador,
to confer with him over the
Forthcoming British debt ne
gotiations prior to the ambas-
sador's departure for London
on Tuesday.
Sir Donald accepted the invi-
tation and left by airplane at II
o'clock this morning for Warm
Springs, Ga.
Farley Hurriedly Arranged
The Roosevelt-Lindsay meeting
was hurriedly arranged by the
State Department this morning
after the President-elect had read
in the newspapers Of the AmbaS-
Sador'S summons to London to
diScttss the conflict Of views over
the scope Of the forthcoming
debt discussion.
Mr.. Roosevelt telephoned the
State Department from Warm
Springs that Sir Ronald was IAN
old friend" of his and that he
would IKE to see him before his
departure. The State Department
communicated with the Ambassa-
dor and he readily consented to
fly to Georgia today. He will
reach Atlanta about 6 p. m, and
motor to Warm Springs.
There has been a distinct con-
flict of views between Mr.. Roose-
velt and the British government
as n how broad the debt discus
siC..S should be-the British want
ing to confine it solely to revision
of the existing agreement, and
Mr.. Roosevelt being insiStent that
the discussions be broad enough
to include world economic mat
terS-particularly trade matters
in which both countries are inter.
eSted.
Qualification Is Sought
Apparently it was concluded
that the conflict could perhaps be
ironed out in a personal confer
ence between the President-elect
and the Ambassador, or that, in
any event, the latter would be in
a better position to interpret the
Roosevelt policy to his govern.
ment after such a meeting.
In their joint statement from
the White House after their last
conference, President Hoover and
PreSident-elect Roosevelt agreed
that debt discussions would be
accompanied by discussion Of
other pressing economic problems.
This was further emphasized
in the invitation which Secretary
Of State Stimson sent to London
at Mr.. RooSevelt's direction. The
British were invited not only to
discuss specifically the $4,50O,-
100000 debt agreement, but also
collateral economic matters at
the same time, the plain inference
being that the Roosevelt admin
istration was not willing to con-
slider debt reduction except at
the price of compensatory ad-
vantages for the United States in
trade matters.
Conditional Acceptance
The British replied to this in
vitation with an acceptance in

A Clean Up Job

Ominous is how it sounds to me-
This news from Hollywood that
Ernst Lubitsch and Ben Hecht
have turned in a movie script of
Noel Coward's play, Design for
Living" without using a line of
the playwright's dialogue.
Of course, Paramount has
plenty of worries on this story.
It has the censorial eye of Will
Hays for one thing. Then there
are the various censor boards
throughout the United States who
are raising hob with Paramount'S
Temple Drake" and in a good
many cases scissoring it so that
it's value to the exhibitor is les
sened. Also the fact that Design
for Living" as written by Coward
is about loose-moraled, filthy
minded people and that such
cracks as the "roll in the hay"
nifty haven't a chance with Holly
wood.
Still the main value of Design
for Living" as a play rested in
that same Coward dialogue, which
has a sophisticated smartness and
sparkle for adults, despite its
risque quality. The Fontanne-
Lunt- acting combination
was an irresistible lure for blase
Broadway. Director Ernst LubitSch
would match it with Fredric
March, Miriam Hopkins and a
third actor to be announced.
Another thing about Design
for Living" as play, presents a
problem. The only real charac--
ter who believes in conventional
moral standards is the laughing
stock of the piece. The heroine
and the two heroes CD border on
moral degeneracy.
Eddie Carr, of Chevy Chase
Lake, had more than 1000 out

All In a Day
THE GREAT SURGEON
-By-
MARK HELLINOER

things, even IN nOSplCdI,
which are better left unSaid.
A year ago, the city awoke to
read that the Great Surgeon
had resigned. No reason was
given. DR.. Winthrop merely
said that he felt the urge to
resume private practice. The
famous political leader issued
a stirring statement in which
he said that the city would
never be able to find a man
to fill the shoes of the Great
Surgeon.
In the recorders office the
little nurse who had been trans
ferred Uttered to herself. She
knew why the Great Surgeon
had resigned. In fact, she had
witnessed what happened.
The episode had taken place
the day before his resignation.
The Great Surgeon-in his
usual form-was very busy eS
corting a group of society social
workers around the hospital.
The Same Speech
AS the party entered the
recorders office, the little nurse
heard him make the old, ia
miliar, hard-boiled speech. About
the effect that iron nerves had
on certain cases, and matters
along those lines. The social
workers listened in rapt atten-
ton. They all nodded in per
feet agreement.
All, that is. but the head
nurse and the little nurse who
had been transferred for faint
ing. They had both heard it so
many times before.
DR.. Winthrop had finished
showing a few x-ray prints. He
placed them back in the files,
and faced the wide-eyed group
and now" he asserted, "if
you will follow me. we will con,
slider another angle of hospital
work. It is very seldom that 1,
personally, take visitors around
and I trust that you-"
Without any warning, his
foot slipped as he turned to
lead the way out. The ponder
Gus body balanced itself for a
fraction of a second, and then
crashed against a steel cabinet
that stood near by. His head
struck the edge of the cabinet
with a sickening thud.
The women social workers
shrieked in unison. The head
nurse called for help. The little
nurse stood petrified. And
then. as other doctors and
nurses came running, the doc,
tor stepped away from the
cabinet.
He forced a smile.
"Just a little Slip" he stated.
cts nothing at all. Just a
trifle dazed for a second, that's
all. You people get back to
your work. There's nothing to
it. I merely slipped-and oh,
my God!"
Reflectively, he rubbed the
back of his head. Suddenly,
his self-confident air faded,
and in it's place came fear. He
withdrew his hand and looked
at it. The fingers were smeared
with his own, sticky blood.
And without a word, his huge
body had keeled over in a dead
faint!
