Re Bnton Faces Rebuff By Allen Oy Post for Texas Constituent
Probe Bares
MonopoHh
Submarines
BY international News Service

An American and a British
Company split the profits on vir-
tually all submarines sold in the
world, it was revealed at hear
ing before the Senate munitions
investigating committee today.
The Electric Boat Company, Of
New York, and Vickers, Ltd, of
London, agree on sale territory
divisions and cooperate in other
ways to their mutual profit, &C.
cording to testimony Of officers
of the Electric Boat Company and
committee exhibits.
Sir Basil Zaharoff, mysterious
European munitions multimillion-
aire, is a Stockholder in VickerS,
Ltd, according to Stephen Raush-
enbush, chief committee inVesti-
gator.
Sir Basil collected $766 ,099. IA
from the Electric Boat Company
of New York from 1919 to 1880
in connection with the sale of sub
marines to Spain, Henry R. Carse,
president of the boat company,
testified.
Mr.. Carse said the payments
were made in a deal whereby the
"Sec," a Spanish bodybuilding
company, constructed submarines
for Spain. Mr.. Carse said:
Sir Basil is very able man.
He is a knight of England and
a Spanish duke.
Give per cent of the Spanish
business went to ZaharOff. Sir
Basil got and held the Spanish
business for us. We regarded
Sir Basil as our Spanish agent"
The American company forced
the Vickers organization to split
profits because the former owned
basic patents, Mr.. Carse told the
committee.
Most of the "split" between the
American and the British com.
panies was on a "fifty-fifty" basis,
over the amount paid the ship
yard, according to the testimony.
The boat company had practi-
cal monopoly on sales of sub
marines to this country because
of it's basic patents, Mr.. Carse testi-
fled. Meanwhile, expensive offices
were maintained in Paris for sales
abroad.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 4
Q.N.S. California and the East
were to meet and talk economics
today in the persons of President
Roosevelt and Upton Sinclair, the
radically regarded author who last
week won the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor in the western
seaboard State.
Politics will be taboo under an
agreement prescribed by the
President when he granted Mr..
Sinclair a conference. This bar
will not prevent free and open
discussion of the Sinclair EPIC"

of State Government.
Three Callers
Besides Mr.. Sinclair, there were
three other callers today, headed
by Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman
of the new. Federal Securities and
Exchange Commission. The other
two were A. A. Perle, a former
member of the so-called Roosevelt
brain trust, and ]. j. Pelley,
president of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad.

IS BANKS PAY.
MILLION To
RECEIVERS
AT Same Time They Collect
$25,407 ,057; Exact De-
tails Unknown
By EUGENE A. KELLY

Liquidation expenses Of IS Of
the closed banks in receiverShip in
Washington have cost the depoSi-
tors to date the sum of $1,011,-
353, it was officially announced
at the Treasury Department to-
day.
At the same time it was re-
vealed that the close banks here
while under conservators and re-
ceivers have collected for the de-
positors a total of $25, ,407 ,057.
The liquidation cost figure does
not mean that the expenditures
were made soley for operating ex-
penses. The figure includes such
items as taxes on property held
by the banks, rents and other
monetary advances made for the
protection of assets.
Details Not Known
While it is believed the major
portion of the liquidation expenses
include salaries paid to per-
sonnel and the cost of legal serv.
ices, an exact distribution OF
the expenses is not known since
the grand total was not broken
down in the Treasury Depart
ment's report today.
The aggregate figure of costs
is a combination of the cost OF
conservatorships and receiver
ships, The depositors paid out
$553,143 while their institutions
were in the hands of the con-
servators and $458,210 while opera
ting under receivers.
The sixteenth closed bank here,
the Potomac Savings Bank OF
Georgetown, under the jurisdic-
ton of Norman r. Hamilton, re-
ceiver, will make known the cost
of its receivership and conServa-
torship the latter part of the
week. The figures assembled to-
day by the Treasury Department
were obtained from the state
ments of the condition of the
banks as of June 80 of this year.
Paid Out 20 Millions
The 16 banks in receivership
here have paid out in dividends
to their depositors about $780,
100000. From the figures made
known today it is seen that the
banks have collected $25, ,407 ,O57
for the depositors. This does
not mean, however. that de-
positors have approximately $5,-
100000 on hand to be paid soon
in dividends.
The hitch in the payments is
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration to which the local closed
banks are heavily indebted. The
original borrowings by the Wash.
ington closed banks from the
RFC amount to about $4,000, ,O0O.
This amount, or at least sub
stantial part of it, must be paid
back before the receivers can de-
clare any more dividends. That
is why the $5,500,000, which seems
to be a surplus and which appar-
emily could be paid out imme-
diately to the depositorS, probably
will be held intact until some sat
isfaction is made to the RFC on
the present Indebtedness.

With this section barely escap-

fifteen years, and comparison with
its progress under Stain to its birth
under Lenin, will be made by Col
onel Raymond Robins Friday, IN
his lecture on the Town Hall series
at the English theater.
Colonel Robins was in Petrograd

grad and Moscow, and travelling

Robins a conference.
Colonel Robins had been present
at the first Soviet May day demon
stration on the Red Square in
Moscow in 1918. He witnessed on
his return visit in 1888 the fifteenth

pointed out that the state law pro-
vides for a division of state license
fees between the state and munici-

to Harry Long, Gary city attorney,
who had requested it, suggested the
best method of settling the matter
is test case in court.
