CLEANING FIRM CLAIMS
RECOVERY ACT INVALID
Florida Firm Moves to Dismiss
Suit on Grounds N. r. A. Is
Unconstitutional.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla. June ia motion
to dismiss a suit to enjoin violation OF
provisions Of the N. r. A. cleaners
and Overs code by Sunshine Cleaners
of Miami on grounds that the re-
coyery act Is unconstitutional was
filed in Federal Court yesterday by
Harry L. Jenkins, co-partner in the
business. i,
Judge Halstead L. Ritter was asked
in the action to strike down unwar-
ranted invasion of the reserve powers
of the States and rights of the people
by promptly dismissing the bill Of
complaint"
The bill was filed several weeks ago,
but was followed by an executive
order by Hugh S. johnson, national
recovery administrator, drastically
modifying the price agreement fea-
ture of the code, on which the suit
largely was based.
The motion declared the recovery
act, executive orders, codes and ad-
ministrative orders unconstitutional
as attempts to regulate matters ex-
clusively reserved to the States and
people under the tenth amendment
to the Constitution and as to VIOLA
ions of he fifth amendment, which
forbids confiscation of property with
out due process of law"

U. 5. TIN SHORTAGE.
CAUSES CONCERN
Market Controlled by Brit
ain-Crisis Seen in
Event of War.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government appears concerned
over the American supply of tin, an
essential war and peace commodity.
1t Is lending support to movements to
find a domestic source of supply and
retain present holdings.
The strategic metal is controlled
largely by British interests. In Secre-
tary Hull's note to Great Britain,
suggesting that government might pay
a portion of its war debt in COM
modities, observers saw a possibility
that some tin might be accepted.
United States production of pri-
mary tin is negligible, and there are
no facilities for smelling tin ores, al
though the detinning industry recov-
ers around rs per cent of the Nations
supply annually. Consumption of
virgin tin reached $1,000 long tons in
1929. The United States is the largest
consumer.
Four Months Supply.
In war, officials estimate, the Amer
ican supply would be exhausted within
four months should imports be cut
off.
Two movements initiated in Con-
gress have the support of Secretary
Hull, the War, Navy and Interior De-
partments. One is the Caldwell resos
luton for a congressional investiga-
ton into sources and possible domestic
development. The other Is the Faddis
bill, prohibiting export of tin recov-
cred by the detinning industry. Re-
Gently there have been large exports
to Japan.
Supporting the Caldwell measure,
slated for approval this session, Sec
retary Hull said our dependence on
imports has been accentuated in re-
cent years by the operations of an
international tin agreement and tin
pool controlling 80 to 80 per cent of
the worlds supply"
Committee Seeks Action.
The House Military Committee
plans to press for action on the Fad
dis bill. The committee said Great
Britain now controls So per cent of
the worlds source of tin and has had
commercial control over 30 per cent"
1t noted that in the last Is months
foreign countries, by increased pur-
chases. caused the price of tin-plate
scrap to jump from 50 to $40 ton
In American ports.
The metal is used in making am
munition, Engine parts, food con-
tainers, bronzes, bearings and soldiers.
Secretary Dern wrote that "tin is
one of the most important metals re-
CURED for ar-munitions production"
and added removing scrap tin from
this country would be injurious to
national defense"

ATTEMPT TOk|[[
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL
Train Wreckers Again Try
to SIay Minister of Pub
lie Security.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, June l3.-Frain wreckers
again yesterday attempted to kill Emil
Fey, Minister Of public security OF
Austria by derailing the main line
express.
It was the second attempt against
the life Of a high oficial Of the gov
ernment In four days. Last Saturday
a bomb was discovered above the
Office of Prince Ernst Won Starhem-
berg, vice chancellor Of Austria.
Frequent efforts have been made
to kill Fey.
Today the wreckers dynamited the
Vienna-to-Budapest main line near
Goetzendorf, "a miles east of here.
Both tracks were torn up, but the
train, on which Fey was travelling to
Budapest, was tagged in time TO pre-
vent disaster.
The attempt to wreck the train
came just as the directors of security
Of the nation issued orders to soldiers
and auxiliary guards protecting Aus
trian railroads that they must in the
future shoot to kill any person ap-
preaching railroad lines at any spot
except authorized crossings and sta
tions.
The official government gazette
published government offers of up to
10000 schillings (about $4,000 for
tips leading to the arrest of govern
ment terrorists.
Chancellor Dollfuss is scheduled
to 60 to Budapest tomorrow for an
agricultural parley, thereby leaving
Prince Starhemberg in control of the
government for the first time since he
became vice chancellor succeeding Fey
The power line mast at Scheibbs
in Lower Austria was dynamited last
night and several small bombs were
exploded in railway stations.

Text of War Debts Note
lSecretry Hull Says Next Move Is Up to Great
Brifain-Hinfs u. S. viii Consider Offer
of Payment in Goods or Service.

suspending further payments until 1t
becomes possible to discuss an ulti-
mate settlement of inter-govern-
mental war debts with a reasonable
prospect of agreement, they have no
intention of repudiatinC their obliga-
tions, and will be prepared to enter
upon further discussion of the subject
at any time when, in the opinion of
the President, such discussion would
be likely to produce results Of value"
In effect, this Government reads
the declaration Of his majesty's gov
eminent to mean that it will fail to
meet any further payments on the
debt due to the United States as evi-
denced by the settlement Of June 10,
1928, until this Government shall first
scale down this debt to an unascer-
tanned sum to which his majesty's
government might be willing to ac-
cede.
"Sman Fractions"
This declaration appears to repre-
sent insistence by his majesty's gov
eminent that before it makes any
payment whatsoever it must be as
sured Of a settlement satisfactory to
it and not necessarily in accordance
with any accepted standards of pay
ment or readjustment of the amounts
due.
The only indications before this
Government of the extent to which
his majesty's government has pro-
posed to meet its obligations are the
small fractions of the sums due men
toned by his majesty's representative
in the course Of the discussions in
the Spring and Autumn Of last year
referred to in your note of June 4.
Adhering to the opinion so often
expressed by the United States Gov
ernent, a situation of this kind neces-
sarily calls for the initiation of pro-
posals by the debtor and not by the
creditor
Should his majesty's government
wish to put forward proposals for
the resumption of payments, this
Government would be glad to enter
tain and discuss them informally.
For instance. no proposal has ever
been presented to this Government
looking toward payments in kind to
an extent that might be found mu-
tually practicable and agreeable
ANY proposals Of this or q similar
character which promise mutual bene-
fit will be carefully considered for
eventual submission to the American
Congress.
In conclusion, may I refer TO the
statement made by the President in
his message to the Congress on
June 1: "The American people would
,0t H,r - III
burden upon their debtors. but are
nevertheless in a just position to ask
that substantial sacrifices be made
to meet these debts"
Accept, excellency, the renewed as
surances of my highest consideration.

The text of the war debts note by
Secretary Hull to the British Ambas-
sador follows:
Excellency:
The observations contained in your
note of June 4, 1884, concerning the
Indebtedness of his majesty's govern
ment to the United States have been
studied with close attention.
This Government is sensible of the
elements of the situation set forth
by his majesty's government, the
heavy-war expenditures undertaken
in its own behalf and In behalf of
its allies, the burden of taxation that
has been borne by the British people
and the transfer difficulties that un-
der certain circumstances may arise
in the foreign exchanges.
With certain observations, however.
and the differences drawn therefrom,
regret that the American Govern
ment is unable to concur and in three
instances 1t feels that, for the pur-
pose OF record, 1t should make its
own attitude clear.
New Law Clarified.
First, his majesty's government
states. in effect, that unless payments
were made in full in the sum of
$685.. 900 900, as set forth in the COM
munication from the United States
Treasury dated May Is, 1884, the
United Kingdom would fall within the
eHects OF the recent legislation mem
toned In paragraph 2 of your note.
so that the payment of this amount
Is regarded as the only alternative to
suspension Of all payment.
The Attorney General has advised
me that, in his opinion, the debtor
governments which, under the ruling
of his Office of May S, 1884, are not
at present considered in default be-
cause of partial payments made on
earlier installments, would have to
pay only the amount of the INSTALL
ment due June Is, 1934-for Great
Britain $85,670, ,765 .05-in order to re-
main outside the scope of the act.
Second, In regard to the record cited
by the British government of its loans
to its allies and the fact that his
majestys government has given up
great sums due to it under those loan
contracts, this government must en-
phasize the complete independence be-
tween the aforementioned trans
actions and the debt contracted by his
majesty's government to this Govern
ment.
Borrowed on Own.
The British government undertook
to borrow under its own name and
and on its own credit standing, and
repayment was not made contingent
upon the fate of debts due to the
British government.
Third, this Government notes with
disappointment the declaration of his
majestyS government that while
