Rep. Goss Makes Plea
For Full Pays Return

Attacking accuracy Of the re.
cent Labor Department cost OF
living survey, Representative Ed.
ward W. Goss (R) of Connecti'
cut added his voice to a chorus
Of protests in the House today
against only partial restoration
of the pay cut.
Few Representatives have been
more active on behalf Of Federal
employees. He appealed fervently
during debate on the independ'
ent offices supply bill for restora'
ton Of the entire cut and still
believes it should be made, saying
1--WE already have expended
more than 1000 million dollars
to increase prices and raise the
cost of living. Does the Labor
Department presume to tell us
now that those costs have gone
mp only s per cent?
SURVEY ATTACKED
"'If so, there is no justification
for all this legislation. That
survey was made to suit their
own purposes and in the way
they wanted it made.
"Why, right here on the floor
Of the House we have been told
In every departmental apprO-
prfatiOn bill that prices have
risen Is per cent.
"Senate restoration Of any
thing less than Is per cent is
worse than before, especially
now that we have passed tho
gold bill"
Collins Backs Full Pay
Another Representative believ.
ing employees should nave the pay
cut eliminated is Representative
Samuel L. Collins (RD, of Cali
fornia. A member of four House
committees, he believes:
Federal employees should be
given back the entire Is per
cent not later than July l.
for living costs Justify it, es-
cially here in the District of
Columbia.
II will vote for the 10 per
cent, provided by the proposed
Senate amendment, but would
much rather be given an Op-
pOrtunity to vote for full reStO-
ration"

RIGID j. 8, RULE
Of EXCHANGES
PUT IN BILL
Pools Prohibited in Measure
To Be Offered Senate by
Committee Friday
BY international News Service


Federal Trade Commission will
regulate stock exchanges, and mar.
ket pools will be prohibited, under
terms of the Senate Banking Com
mittee's stringent market bill, Fer.
dinand Pecora, committee counsel,
announced today.
Mr.. Pecora, who was commits
stoned by the committee to apply
final touches to the bill prepara.
tory to introduction in the Senate
Friday, made public a number Of
problems with which the measure
will be concerned.
Regulates Brokers
Instead of licensing the ex.
changes. system of registration
will be established, Mr.. Pecora as.
serted. The bill, he said. will deal
with the following matters.
1. Prevention of brokers from
Speculating in stocks which they
buy or sell for their customers.
2. Regulation of margin trad
ing, specialists, listing on the
boards and publicity.
8. Establishment of a system
Of accounting requiring corpora
tions that have stock on the ex-
changes to submit from time to
time reports of condition, finan-
cial and otherwise.
Mr.. Pecora continued:
"The Federal Trade Commits
sion was selected as the regula-
tory body because it already is
in existence, and Is capable Of
handling the situation in an ef-
ficient manner. 1t will be given
broad powers, and will have a
whip hand over markets."
HEARINGS SCHEDULED
The. banking committee is ex-
pected to receive the measure to-
morrow and public hearings at
which Wall Street chieftains will
be allowed to testify probably will
be held.
Senator Fletcher OO Of Florida,
chairman of the Senate Banking
Committee, announced the meas
ure probably would be submitted
to the committee tomorrow and
introduced the next day. The Sen
ator said:
"The bill will cover nearly all
proposals made to prevent the
Stock Exchange from causing
another depression. I believe
that 1t will absolutely outlaw all
market pools, with fines and inn
prisOnments for violation Of that
section"
The Banking Committee has
tened action on the bill because
Senator King CD Of Utah, pion-
eer in the field of market regula-
ton, threatened to beat the COM
mittee to the draw. Yesterday
Mr.. King introduced a stock mar
ket bill of his own.

, singing the "MarSeillaiSe."
AS news Of the resignation Of
the cabinet became generally
known, there were wild outbursts
of cheering in the streets, COM
parable to the celebration that
greeted announcement of the sign
ing of the armistice.
Lebrun Calls COnfab
President Lebrun took his first
step late this afternoon to solve
the political crisis when he sum-
moned Jules Jeanneney, president
of the senate; Ferdinand Bouis-
son, president of the chamber;
Edouard Herriot, former premier,
and Pierre Etienne Flandin, Left
Party leader, to the Elysee Pal
ace for a conference.
No premier in modern French
history has been forced to submit
his resignation-with his parlia-
mentary majority safe-at the
hands Of street mobs.
Who will succeed M. Daladier
and whether France will turn aside
from parliamentary government
in the present financial and
political crisis are problems in
the lap of the gods.
Cabinet 8 Days Old
Edouard Daladier formed his
cabinet exactly eight days ago
today when. the government OF
Camille Chautemps fell because of
the scandal raised over the Stavi-
sky affair. It was a notably weak,
moderate ministry, made up
largely Of the same elements that
constituted the Chautemps ad.
ministration.
Almost Immediately it en-
countered difficulties.
Yielding to the cries of the
public, M. Daladier removed from
office Jean Chiappe, prefect OF
police, because of his alleged con
nection with the Stavisky scan
dial. Promptly Col. Jean Fabry
minister Of war, and Francois
Pietri, minister Of navy, resigned
Many Groups Unite
M. Daladier reorganized his
cabinet only to clash head-on
with a new wave Of indignation
among friends Of M. Chiappe.
These with other discordant
elements, Communists, Royalists
and Young Patriots League, Fas
cists and other groups, including
the powerful war veterans organi
Zation, fomented the agitation
that led to yesterdays disorders
and brought down the govern
ment today.
The retiring premier said he
was unwilling to order troops to
fire upon manifestants in
further demonstrations feared to
day. His communique said:
"The government, reSpOnSi-
BILE for order, refused to main
tain 1t today by the use Of ex-
ceptiOnal measures susceptible
Of causing bloody repression.
"The Government does not
wish to send soldiers against
the manifeStantS.
"The president Of the council
of ministers has presented the
cabinets resignation to PreSi-
dent Lebrun."
Leaders of the conservative par
ties previously had met to ask
President Lebrun to request M
Daladier's resignation.

Embassy Gates Shut
The American Embassy quickly
closed its iron gates.
In the ensuing melee so per
sons were felled in front of the
embassy building, including 10
women. None of them was an
American.
New colonial troops were
promptly brought up, armed with
machinegunS. and soldiers and po-
hcemen established a Gordon about
the streets leading from the Place
de la Concorde.
Five mounted guards were I'M
horSed by the mob and beaten in
the Place de Ia Concorde. Their

Four trucks carrying units OF
the One Hundred and Twenty
first Regiment of infantry crossed
the Place de Ia Concorde late this
afternoon and took up positions
in the vicinity of the Elysee
Palace.
Immediately thereafter all
streets in the vicinity Of the palace
were closed.
DOumergue Declines Job
Meanwhile pressure was being
brought to bear upon Castor
Doumergue, former president Of
the republic, to accept the pre-
mierShip.
President Lebrun telephoned
Doumergue. who is in the South
Of France, requesting him to form
a government but Doumergue re-

pleading with him to change his
mind and declaring they consid-
cred him the only man capable
Of restoring order in Paris.

Paris, the Prime Minister rode to
the ElySee Palace and announced
to President Lebrun the retirement
Of his government.
A brief communique issued by
Daladier announced that he had
resigned "to prevent further
bloodshed' following last nights
riotS-the greatest in the history
Of the Third Republic.
MObs Form Anew
Even as he wrote his announce
ment, mobS, ignorant Of his in
tention, formed in the boulevards
and headed for the Chamber Of
Deputies, where Deladier last
night had achieved three parlia-
mentary victories over foes who
sought to oust him in the strug-
gle over the 40 million Stavinsky
financial scandal.
The mobS were bowling "mur-
derer" as they advanced.
Republican guards were escort
ing them and watching their
movements closely but making
no attempt to break up the pro-
cession, despite the fact that q
decree issued by the prefect Of
police this morning, with the
sanction Of the Deladier govern

Disorder Not a Habit

Il shall continue to regard it as
my duty to use whatever means
may be necessary to supplement
state, local and private agencies for
the relief of suffering caused by I'M
employment. With respect to this
question, I have recognized the
dangers Inherent in the direct CIV
ing of relief and have sought the
means to provide not mere relief,
but the opportunity for useful and
remunerative work.
I'VE shall, in the process of 1e-
covery, seek to move as rapidly as
possible from direct relief to pub
licly supported work and from that
to the rapid restoration of private
employment.
1T is to the eternal credit of the
American people that this ire
mendous readjustment of our ma
tional life is being accomplished
peacefully, without serious disloca-
ton, with only a minimum of IN
justice and with a great. willing

ments and the lowering of the bar
rierS against commerce.
Il expect to report to you later
in rc~ard to debts owed the govern
me- and people of this country by
~Ovc--mentS and peoples of other
countries. Several nations, &C
knowledging the debt, have paid in
small part; other nations have failed
to pay. One Observation-Disclosures
paid the installmentS due this
country in full.
Returning to home problems, we
have been shocked by many no.
torious examples of injuries done
our citizens by persons or groups
who have been living off their
neighbors by the use of methods
either unethical or criminal.
In the first Category field
which does not involve violations of
the letter of our laws-practices
have been brought to light which
have shocked those who believed
that we were in the past generation
raising the ethical standards of
business. They call for stringent
preventive or regulatory measures.
Il am speaking of those in
dividuals who have evaded the
spirit and purpose of our. tax laws,
of those high officials of banks or
corporations which have grown rich
at the expense of their stock
holders or the public, of those reck-
less spectators with their own or
other peoples money whose opera
tions have injured the values of the
farmers crops and the savings of
the poor.
In the other category, crimes of
organized banditry, cold-b looded
shooting, lynching and kidnapping
have threatened our security.
These violations of ethics and
these violations of law call on the
strong arm of government for their
immediate suppression; they call
also on the country for an aroused
public opinion.
The adoption of the twenty-f1rst
amendment should give material aid
to the elimination of those new
forms of crime which came from
illegal traffic in liquor.

Hard Beginning Over

But the unnecessary expansion
of industrial plants, the waste of
natural resources, the exploitation
of the consumers of natural mo-
nopolies, the accumulation of stag
nant SURPRISES, child labor, and the
ruthless exploitation of all labor,
the encouragement of speculation
with other peoples money, these
were consumed in the fires that
they themselves kindled; we must
make sure that as we reconstruct
our life there be no soil in which
such weeds can grow again.
I'VE have plowed the furrow
and planted the good seed; the hard
beginning is over. If we would reap
the full harvest we must cultivate
the soil where this good seed is
Sprouting and the plant is reaching
up to mature growth.

that each of you will appreciate
that I am speaking no mere polite
mess when I assure you how much
1 value the fine relationship that we
have shared during these months of
hard and incessant work.
Out OF these friendly contacts
We are, fortunately, building a
strong and permanent tie between
the legislative and executive
branches of the government. The
letter of the Constitution wisely de-
clared a separation, but the impulse
of common purpose declares a
union. In this spirit we join once
more in serving the American peo-
pie"
