WOOL MARKET

Boston, March 28.-(UP)-Wool business continued dull today with demand restricted for the most part to small lots of medium or fine grade wools.
 New clip wool has been offered in the market on the basis of 39 cents a pound for Ohio quarter blood grease wools, which is four cents below the low of the present market. On the other hand sev- eral leading sellers of wool re- fuse to lower asking prices, which tends to keep prices unchanged.
 The U. S. agriculture department said: Every few sales are being closed in the Boston wool market. While some inquiries are being received on the finer quality west ern grown wools, the inquiries in most cases are not resulting in sales. A weaker sentiment toward wool values is making it possible for buyers, who have to cover limited current requirements, to buy at prices mostly on the low sides of recent price ranges"

 Tt isn't republication of hon. or,' Robinson said, "fog one who votes for a bill to vote against it when the president has vetoed it."
 "I know there are some here who will be happy If the senate over rides the veto, not because of the issue but because in a measure it will discredit the executive"
 Sen. Arthur R. Robinson, r., Ind, then spoke for those who wished the veto to be overridden.
 The Indianan charged that the senate was deceived two days ago when Sen ames F. Byrnes, d., s. C., moved to concur in house vet erans' amendments.
 "We all believe he speaks for the president" Robinson said.
 Byrnes challenged Robinson to name the time when he had said the president as in favor of the house amendments.
 "All of us have been led to be- lieve that the senate enjoys the closest confidence of the president" the Indiana republican retorted.
 Every inch of space in the gal leries was occuped as the debate proceeded. Assistant Secretary of Navy Henry L. Roosevelt was in the diplomats gallery.

Credit Program To
 Saue Smaller Firms
Pending Legislation Would Supply About $7OO,OOO 900 to Small Business in l2 Federal Reserve Dists

Washington, Mar 28-The Credit Banks for Industry, to be chart cred by Federal Reserve Banks under the terms of pending legis- lation requested by President Roosevelt, would supply about $700, 900, 900 in working capital to small and medium sized firms and corporations in all the IF Federal Reserve Districts. They would continue 346,000 persons in employment and supply new jobs to about 378,000 additional men and women.
 These figures. given in the presi- dents letter to the chairmen of the senate and house committees on banking and currency, were ob- tained in a nationwide survey of 4,598 banks and 1,066 chambers of commerce, conducted by the Federal reserve Board, the Treas ury department, and the Recon struction Finance corporation. The survey covered three points G) Probable amount of working capi- tai required now by smaller in- dustries; CD number of employees who would be retained if working capital is afforded; and (3) num- Der of new employees that can be taken on through such supply of working capital.
 The presidents plan calls for what is known as intermediate credit, limited to loans of not less than l year nor more than , years. Under American banking practice, looms of less than l year belong in tho field of commercial banking; those of more than years are long term" and usually have been provi d c d through investment bankers. The agricultural inter- mediate credit banks take care of such loans for farmers, but there are no institutions in the United States organized for meeting the needs of intermediate credit in the industrial field. For which reason, and especially as no new organiza- ton financed by the Banks for In- dustry would not be competitive, but constructive and auxiliary to tho country's regular banking sys- tenn.
 The bills authorize the Federal Reserve Board to issue charters for the establishment in each Fed eral Reserve District of a Credit Bank for Industry, empowered to operate branch offices. Machinery of the Federal Reserve System would be utilized. Directors would be chosen in accordance with regu- lations of the Reserve Board, but q majority must be actively en- gagged in industrial pursuits in each of the 12 districts.
 Each credit bank would be em- powered to discount for other banks. trust companies, or mort gage firms, loans made to indus trial concerns. provided such fin- ancial institutions retain at least 70 per cent of the risk in each loan which would be for periods notI exceeding years The bills direct

the treasury department to pur- chase from each federal reserve bank the stock of the Federal De- posit Insurance Corporation for which each federal reserve bank has subscribed.
 From profits resulting from de- valuation of the gold content of the dollar, the treasury department would be authorized to furnish capital for the credit banks, and in addition to the fund of approx ;mately $140,0O0,000 from the transfer to the treasury of the in- surance corporation stock, the new system would be empowered to ob- tain an amount not to exceed five times their aggregate capital and surplus by the issue of debentures or other obligations, for which all of the credit banks would be joint ly liable. Thus the government it. self would assume no liability.
 Penalty provisions specify heavy fines and Imprisonment for false statements, overvaluation, anu other fraudulent practices.

 Washington, March 2S-OP)- General Hugh $. Johnson to-day outlined the procedure which WILL change the NRA from code-mak- ing institution to a code-enforcing agency.
 Johnson gave w. Averell Harri- man the task of supervising and co.ordinating the NRA for code administration.

 The division formerly headed by Arthur D. Whiteside has been di- vided. Administration of service codes was given to Col G. de Freest Larner. Thomas l.. Robinson has been named deputy. administrator for financial codes. Garment indus- try codes have gone to the division headed by Sol. A. Rosenblatt.

Robinson, praising Cuttings presentation of the opposition case, began his speech by lauding the veterans and the part they played in American history.
 "It is not just," he said, 'as some have attempted to do, to place the president in the attitude of not experiencing or of fail- ure to demonstrate a sense of jus tice and of patriotic recognition for the gallantry, course and hero ism of those who have worn our uniform.
 My purpose is to attempt to show that there is no injustice, that there is liberality toward the veterans, in the measures and ar- engagements affecting. the veterans as contemplated by President Roosevelt"
 Cutting, speaking in his quiet, polished Harvard manner, told his colleagues this is the decisive vote to determine whether you're going to do anything substantial for the veterans"
 He appealed to the senate to de- eide the issue on it's merits alone, without consideration of politics He noted that he himself support ed the president at the last cleo ton and "I would do it again."
 Although he supported MT Roosevelt generally. Cutting said, that did not mean that he had to go along with him on this issue.
 Robinson defended the president warmly.
 "The senator from New Mexico" he said, Suggests that it would be inconsistent for anyone who voted to concur in the house amendments to refrain from voting to pass this measure over the presidents veto.
 "Plainly, that argument cannot be sustained"
 Robinson explained differences m the house and senate amend ments, and said the attitude ex- pressed by Mir Roosevelt involves d subject that cannot be passed over slightly"
 Tt opens the question" he said, "of whether we are to have a wide open system of veterans benefits with the sky as the limit"
 Robinson continued:
 Tt may be true that in the ex- periments that we have all given our earnest cooperation there have been spent sums which have not brought in adequate returns. But it cannot be said that the executive or the congress had designed such a course"
 Robinson said the mere fact that a man volunteered or was drafted and then wore the Ameri- can uniform did not in itself justify putting that man in a claso apart from other citizens ho might have shown equal patriotism in other &C., tiyities-

UNEMPLOYMENT
 BEING SLASHED SAY LABOR MEN
First Increase for Month of February Since Start
 of Depression

Washington, Mar 2S-(UP)- Employment in the United States showed it's first increase for Feb- ruary since the start of the. de- precision when more than 35O,OO workers went back to their jobs, the American 'Feredation of labor reported today.
 The rate of increase, the federal ton said, was continued in March but failed to offset an estimated reduction of 920,000 civil works administration workers during Feb- ruary.
 During February unemployment dropped 1,374,000 from 11,688,0Oe at. the end of January, the A. F. of L., reported.
 "Each previous February, since 1929," the federation said, "unem- ployment has increased. This year the gain was almost entirely in manufacturing industries where 36O,O00 went back to work. There were slight gains also in whole sale trade (10,000) and hotels (1O,O00) and in some other indus tries. but 5O,000 were laid off in building.
 "In manufacturing the heavy or producer-goods industries show ed considerable employment gains. The fact that men are going back to work in these industries, where unemployment has been particular ly serious, is significant. Consumer goods industl les also reported sub- stantial gains"
 These gains indicate that ac- cumulated buying power is taking effect. The record for workers in- come gains for February, however is not so bright. Payrolls in in dustry as a whole increased by ap- proximately $100,0O0,000, but this gain was almost entirely offset by a decline of $s0,0O0,000 in CWA payrolls during the month"
 Of the total 1,374,00 unemployed the federation estimated that B. 516,O00 had work in CWA, PWA and co, while 7,S5S,00O were en- tirely without jobs.

 The galleries applauded and were reproved by Sen. McAdoo, who was presiding.
 Harrison cited statistics to show that the "despised" veterans in America were being treated much better than veterans of other coun- tries.
 You can't say on the floor of the senate and get away with 1t that the soldier is the 'despised' man." Harrison said.
 Harrison accused the Indfanan of trying to arouse the prejudices not only of the soldiers but of the senate as we'll" by references to President Roosevelt's Florida trip.
 There's no other. senator here who would resort to that kind of a speech to get votes." Harrison said.

 Mrs. Mary E. Whittemore, 63- year-old widow of the founder of the business, charged that she had given Howe $17,000 in stock and $3,000 cash to credit to the firms account, but that an audit revealed the money had never been depos- tied.
 Howe. former insurance bro- ker, went to work for the firm only a year ago and rose to be treasurer.

come so rotten that the cZar was busted. Then came Kerensky, and finally the mob put over Lenin. He seemed to take the matter seriously, but replied that Oliver Cromwell successfully advanced tC the third stage-the Lenin stage in England. That stumped me for I recall Cromwell had hectic time of it. My subsequent study of his career still leaves me stumped by MT Roosevelt's remark"
 MT Roosevelt. the Crusaders head said, was faced with "an i'm possible task of composing the widely divergent interests of the owen D. Youngs and the Huey P. Longs. Even as Kerensky was con. fronted with a conservative Duma in Russia, on the one hand. and with the communist. radicals on the other."
 He was asked whether he thought the president was working toward the Lenin stage, and said:
 T am uncertain whether he is working in that direction, or in the direction of Hindenberg, where the real power will be wielded by oth- CTS while he retains the presi- dency. When it is over, I feel sure he will just be rubber stamp"
 What Moley Said
 New York, March 2S-(UP)- Comment of Prof Raymond Moley, administration brain trust, was added today to the growing con- troversy over charges by Dr Will rirt ct plotting to supplant President Roosevelt with a dictator
 Moley recalled that the .sonten- the "Kerensky of this revolution" for monetary reform, George A. Christians. Dr Wirt, in Gary, de- nied, however, that he had ever met Christians and reiterated that his information came from a mem- Der of the brain trust.
 Christians, in Chattanooga, con- firmed Moley's remarks.
 That was the single occasion, to my best knowledge, on which l saw Dr. Wirt," Moleys added.
 Moley said he had received let ter on the interview from Walter M. Higgins. an associate of Chris tians which read in part:
 "l think I can clear up the or igin of the Kerensky story. I can testify that I heard George w. Christians, leader of the American Reds tell President Roosevelt him. self in the presence of pr. Ray mond Moley and Col. Marvin Mo- Intyre on December l, 1892, at Warm Springs, Ga, before inaug- uration, that he, President Roose- welt, would be the Kerensky of this revolution"
 Higgins letter was a copy of one he sent to Rep. McGuigin, D., Tex, from Chattanooga, headquar- ters of the crusaders whose mon- etary program, in some respect, parallels that of the committee of the nation. James H. Rand, Jr., chairman of the committee for the nation read Dr.. Wirt's charges to house committee last Friday.
 MT. Roosevelt was patient with his two visitors" Moley recalled. "I thought he gave them too much time and attention. I recall that Mcintyre grew somewhat alarmed over the nature and the vigor of their talk and telephoned to secret

 "I wouldn't be seen in. Catho-- lie church," the witness quoted Sessoms as replying.
 At this point, Frost said, Kirwan got up from his seat beside Ses- soms on the bed in his own cabin. walked to a wardrobe trunk, and turned around. He had a knife in his hand. He started to walk to- ward Sessoms. First testified:
 'I jumped up and grabbed Kir- wan by the arm. He jerked away. The knife cut me on te upper and lower lip and coat lapel. l called to Sesoms and asked if he was go- ing to help me. Sessoms got his hand on Kirwan's arm-the one that held the knife. Kirwan dropped the knife; I didn't hear it fall. Sessoms leaned over the bed. I said 'Sessoms, you have a cut on your wrist He didn't say anything and walked to the door.
 "Kirwan stepped aside to let him out and then fell to the floor. I tried to raise Kirwan but he was too heavy. went to Sessoms' room. He was on the bed. I said Help me with Kirwan. He didn't say anything. I went back and af- ter trying to raise Kirwan again I went down to the purser's office to do some work"
