The two-month controversy In

permeated with tenSeness during
the entire afternoon Of debate.

Iron-haired, stocky Pat McCara

the outstanding hero Of the Gov.

Col. Wade H. Cooper, president
of the United States Savings
Bank, was indicted for the third
time today by the District Grand
Jury on a charge of misapplying
100000 of Commercial National
Bank funds.
The first indictment was re-

counsel of the Commercial bank.
This was dropped a few days later
when a new indictment, charging
conspiracy and misapplication,
was reported.
A successful attack on the Sec

HOPE FADES
FOR HAVEN IN
RUMAN|A'
Fugitive Financier's Efforts
To Escape Extradition
Hit Stumbling Block

ISTANB UL, March 2e
(I.N.S.). The Turkish gov.
ernment today ordered the de-
tention of the Greek steamship
Maiotis, with Samuel insult
fugitive American financier,
aboard.
The Maiotis arrived here at day
break, II days after it left Athens,
when insult fled Greece on the
eve Of his deportation.
The ship was taking on supplies
here and had been scheduled to
leave for Constants. Rslnaania, this
afternoon.
Acting on instructions from the
government at Angora, the capital,
police boarded the Maiotis and
served, notice on the captain not
to sail until he received further
instructions.
It was explained the cabinet
was now in session in Angora to
decide whether insult would be
permitted to proceed to Rumania
or be sUmmarily removed from the
MaiotiS and held at Istanbul.
insult has been provided at least
a temporary haven in Rumanla. II
was revealed today.
insult himself is confident he
can remain in Rumania indefi-
nitely, prolonging the procedure
in Greece, where he successfully
Fought extrsdition for 18 months
Has Rumanian Visa
The Rumanian consul informed
international News Service that
insult will be permitted to land
at ConStanza, Rumanian Black
Sea port, tomorrow, but the
length of his stay will depend
upon whether the United States
makes an extradition attempt.
An extradition treaty between
the two countries is in effect.
The consul admitted that In
sull has a Rumanian visa, which
ordinarily would permit him to
remain a month or longer. If the
United States asks for extradi-
ton, Rumania first will have to
determine whether the indicted
former utilities magnate is ex-
traditable.
Insults attorneys expect a de-
lay of four or five months on this
procedure.
The eventual destination Of the
fugitive financier was the subject
Of widely differing reports. Con
Stanza, Varna, odessa and Batum
were among the ports mentioned
as possible destinations.
Batum is an internationalized
port, the sea outlet of Armenia,
and it is likely insult would have
least difficulty landing there OF
any port on the shores of the
Black Sea.
Those who saw insult for the
first time since he left Athens
II days ago, said he was bronzed
from the hot Mediterranean sun.

SLATED
To SPEED Up
BUILDING
Johnson May Head Campaign
/ To Boom Business of
Heavy Industries
BY International News Service

A gigantic recovery drive,
comparable to that conducted
by the NRA last summer, but
this time directed to aid the
capital goods industry and not
the producers of consumers
goods, was being planned to.
day.
The heads of several of the
Emergency Recovery Agencies
were instructed to make the
study after President Roosevelt
endorsed the general idea. They
will present their recommends
tionS to him when he returns from
his cruise April Z. 81
Building Boom Planned
The movement would start a
nationwide home building and
modernization boom to absorb the
workers of the CWA, when that
agency expires May /, and a great
number of the unemployed.
In some quarters Recovery Ad-
ministrator Hugh S. johnson was
suggested to head the new set-up,
relinQuishing the helm of the
NRA to his special assistant, w.
Averill Hartman. Mr.. Hartman
now handles much of the admin
istrative work.
The new wheel to the recovery
machine, which its sponsors be-
lieve will speed business revival
and benefit the heavier indus
tries, will require some legiSla-
ton. It was brought out at the
recent code hearings that the
heavier industries have felt little
of the benefits of the NRA's drive
so far.
Credit To Be Provided
The program under considera-
ton provides:
1. Immediate low-cost credits
up to five years in length for
home renovation and modern
ization. It was estimated that
from 1000 to 1000 million dol
lars would be spent for such
work. if labor, industry and
finance cooperated, by the end
Of the year.
2. Reorganization of the mort
gage market through creation
of a national mortgage insur.
ance corporation which would
force down interest rates and
eliminate second and third
mortgages and short-term first
mortgages on which no amor
tiZation is required.
3. Coordination of all Federal
and State agencies dealing with
housing, having them also han
die subsistence homesteads in
the country and slum clearanceS
in the cities.

Friends See Reconciliation
Following the Delivery OF
"Let's Make Up" Plea

PARIS, March 29 Q.N.S.).
Definite steps toward a recon-
ciliation between Mary Pick
ford and Douglas Fairbanks
are under way, International
News Service learned authori-
tatively today.
A New Yorker, authorized to
speak for Miss Pickford. left Paris
last night for Palma, Majorca Is
land, to complete details Of the
reconciliation.
Al Doug, Jr. with Him
MI. Fairbanks and his son,
Douglas, jrs are now at Palma.
A strange, romantic idea enter
tanned by Mr.. Fairbanks is under
stood to be the only hitch in the
reconciliation negotiations.
Mr.. Fairbanks, it was learned,
fears that the reconciliation
might subject Miss Pickford to
criticism by thousands Of her film
devotees, because he has been
named correspondent in the divorce
suit filed in London by Lord Ash
ley against Lady Ashley.
Mr.. Fairbanks is reluctant 70
have any act or situation in which
he is involved reflect upon his
wife.
Miss Pickford, it is understood,
differs with Douglass idea. She
belives her fans are willing to let
bygones be bygones in their de-
sire to see HollyWoou'S once most
happily married couple reunited.
Mr.. Fairbanks will be told by
the mediator, it was learned, that
the reaction in America to a re-
union now would be favorable.
Mary FOrgiving
Miss Pickford, in the picture
drawn of the situation by those
familiar with it, is not resentful
toward Mr.. Fairbanks. She long
has recognized the restless desire
for rowing and adventure which
grips him.
She is cognizant, too, of the
fact that Mr.. Fairbanks name
never was connected with that
Of any other woman until the
Ashley divorce suit.
Mary is said to believe that
Doug was very loyal, in view Of
his restlessness and her own
strong instinct for a quiet, do
meStic life.
Mr.. Fairbanks has lost 20
pounds in weight since his sepa-
ration from Mary, and his once
ready smile has become forced.
His friends believe his future
happiness depends upon the sue
cess Of the reconciliation moves
now under way.
