HOUSE To QUIZ
GRAIN CHIEF
ON CUTTEN
Futures Administration Head
to Be Asked About Charge
of Manipulation"
By International News Service

Representative Jones CD Of
Texas, chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee, today an.
nounced that j. w. T. Duvel,
chief Of the Grain Futures
Administration, would be sum
moned to testify regarding
charges of grain manipulation
made against Arthur w. Cutten,
Chicago operator.
Representative Jones' announce
ment followed a protest from
the Chicago Board Of Trade that
the charges were made at "a
psychological moment"-w h i lie
opponents Of proposed Federal
commodity exchange control were
presenting their case before the
agriculture committee.
Substantiation of the charges
against Mr.. Cutten would consti-
tute the greatest argument for
Federal control of commodity ex-
changes, Representative Jones
declared.
1E&0e Cn1e1S tEOG6S6
Representative Jones' assertion
was made at a hearing on the
Administrations grain exchange
bill. Henry I. Hartman, presi-
dent of the United States Cham
ber Of Commerce, and Charles v.
Essroger, treasurer of the Chi
cago Board of Trade, had voiced
opposition to the bill.
Representative Jones said to
Mr.. Essroger:
"The fact that you are a
Board Of Trade official and did
not know about Cutten'S ma
nipulatiOns constitutes q poor
argument for seIf.regulatiOn Of
exchanges"
Mr.. EsSroger, who is vice presi-
dent Of the First National Bank
of Chicago, told the committee
the bankers would like to see the
grain markets function under self
regulation.
U. S. Agency Raped
Representative Cummings D)
of Colorado, member of the COM
mittee, interposed:
"Isn't that all AL Capone
asked fOr?"
The Grain Futures Administra-
ton was charged with interjecting
irrelevant and prejudicial issues
by its sudden charges against
Mr.. Cutten.
During a storm session before
the House Agriculture Committee
which is considering the admin.
iStration'S commodity control bill,
Robert P. Boylan, vice president
Of the Chicago Board of Trade,
denounced the action as timed to
evoke unfavorable publicity while
opponents of the bill were present.

ACTS
To GUT PRICES
FOR LIQUOR
Slash in Tariff Believed Sure
After Study Of Effect OF
Hiqh Rates Is CompIete
BY International News Service

by 1mgoEmbbAOuH1 CNO"0 OOANSSS
Liquor prices probably are
going to come down.
Treasury experts today were
nearing the completion OF an In
vestigation Of the effects Of the
present high tariff rate on i'm
ported liquors-$5 q gallon-on
domestic prices.
It is believed that the tariff iS
going to be lowered, either bE
direct Congressional action or by
Presidential edict if Congress
enacts the bill to give the Presi-
dent power to adjust tariff rates
within a so per cent range.
Imports are Light
Despite the relatively high
prices for domestic liquor and the
FACA permitting unlimited guam
titles Of beverages to be brought
in, relatively little liquor has been
imported. The tariff has acted
as q barrier.
Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau believes that the tariff
rates on liquor have had q pro-
nounced influence on prices
charged for domestic beverages.
Secretary Morgenthau declared
that not only did the Government
desire that liquor be furnished
the public at reasonable prices
but that a good quality should
be offered.
Not long ago Secretary Morgen'
thau invited newspaper cores
pondents to his office and asked
them to sample a number Of
specimens Of alcoholics offered in
the legitimate trade. Some Of
the blends were decidedly inferior
to bootleg products.
Domestic Tax Scrutinized
The question also Of the do
meStic tax on liquor is being
studied. The present tax is So
a gallon as compared to $1.10
before prohibition. DR.. James M.
Doran, head of the code authority
for the distillerS, said under the
Federal end the State taxes there
was little probability Of domestic
prices Of less than 50 a quart even
on blended products, to say moth"
ing of properly aged liquor.
Some Treasury experts believe
Government revenue could be in
creased substantially by a reduc.
ton in the tariff and domestic
tax on liquor.

PHILADELPHIA, April H.
Charming Pollock, playwright and
author, will not come up and see
Mae West sometime.
In fact, he believes that she and
everybody who took part in her re-
cent movie productions should be
Gin the penitentiary."
Mr.. Pollock denounced modern
trends in literature and the drama
in an address to the student body
of Temple University. He said:
"In modern literature, if it
isn't illicit, it isn't love. The
movies are the last form Of di-
version to be civilized by any
one.
"The characteristics of much
of our modern drama seem to
involve four main points. They
are phOtOpraghic realism, So
phiSticatiOn, concentration on
sex, and violence and insiStence
on the commonplace.
"In 1881 there were 23O plays
presented in New York and 153
of them dealt with Sex and
crime.
"BeSt 'smellers,' pandering to
suppressed desires, rob life Of its
greatest realities, truth and

Associated Gas Control of Con-

critics Is Shown in Probe
BY International News Service

The claim that the Associated
Gas and Electric Company Of
New York held financial control
over the supposedly independent
engineering firm Of Edward j.
Cheney, engaged in appraisal Of
utilities, was made before the
Federal Trade Commission today
by j. C. Dickerman, commission
engineer-examiner.
Mr.. Dickerman's testimony pro-
vided a new sensation in the af-
fairs of the gigantic Associated
Gas and Electric system, which
already is involved in a mass Of
testimony purporting to show at
tempts to influence legislative
action in New York and other
States.
Rrobes Broad River Co.
Mr.. Dickerman revealed the
financial connection between AS
sociated Gas and Electric and
Mr.. Cheney's firm in the course
of q voluminous report on the
Broad River Power Company, a
South Carolina subsidiary.
Offering financial data sub
poenaed from the Chase National
Bank in New York in proof Of
his statement, Mr.. Dickerman
declared:
"The deduction appears in.
escapable that Edward j. Che
ney was operating wholly in
the interests and under the
specific control Of III. C. Hop
son (vice president Of AssO-
ciated Gas and Electric) when
conducting appraiSals for COM
panies of the Associated system
or for outside clients and can
not be considered as having an
independent professional status.
I'm other words, Edward J.
Cheney, engineer, has been
since 1921, part and parcel Of
H. C. HOpsOn's organization de-
voted to the control of the
Associated Gas and Electric
system and allied properties
and organizations"
Aided in Write-Up
Partly through Cheney's ap-
praisal work, Dickerman declared,
the physical assets of the Broad
River Power Company, and the
Lexington Water Power Company,
an affiliate, were written up by
approximately $15,0O0,000.
The company depressed its
statement of net earnings, Dick
erman added, while initiating the
value of it's fixed investment.

Foreign police cooperated with
Belgian detectives today in a wide
hunt for the panel of the world
famous painting, "The Alteration
of the Lamb" stolen Tuesday
night from Ghent Cathedral.
The Belgian frontiers are being
closely guarded. Several suspects
have been questioned.
Detectives say they are check
ing a rumor that the priceless
work. also called '"The Panel Of
st. John the Baptist" was stolen
by a German Nazi as an act Of
vengeance because Germany was
forced, by the Treaty of Versailles,
to return it to Belgium at the con-
clusion of the World War. The
panel was then in a German mu'
scum.
Canon Van den Gheyn Of Ghent
Cathedral handed over to the po-
lice today several letters in which
the writer's threatened to steal the

A direct charge that DR.. William
A. Writ, Gary, Ind, educator, was
confined in jail because of pro-
German activities during the
World War was removed from the
speech of Representative Bulwin-
kle CD of North Carolina, as it
appeared in the Congressional
Record today.
After a denial was made in the
House following Representative
Bulwinkle's speech yesterday by
Representative McGugin (R) of
Kansas, Representative Bulwlnkle
obtained permission to revise his
remarks.
The sentence in Representative
Bulwinkle's speech which called
forth the denial originally read:
"If he had been, I would have
brought from him the fact that
during the war on account Of his
pro- German activities he was
confined in the jail at Gary,
Ind"
Charging that "the truth had
been suppressed" Representative
McGugin demanded that a thor
ough investigation be made. He
raped action of the committee in
denying minority members the
right to call witnesses upon their
own responsibility.

A demand was made on Con-
gress today by the durable goods
industries committee to amend
and liberalize the 1888 securities
act.
The committee pointed out that
during the depression only 4 per
cent Of new domestic capital has
been secured for these industries,
while in Great Britain new capital
for the same class has risen to 81
per cent, adding:
"With new capital insured for
these industries, between five
and six million persons now un-
employed can be permanently re-
employed. without amendment
to the 1889 securities act at this
session Of Congress, the commit
tee agrees unanimously that any
recovery is only temporary"
The committee said that in 1888
about one-third Of the total ma
tional income produced was taken
and distributed in governmental
channels.

ABOARD PRESIDENTIAL SPE-

TON, April IL d.N.s0.-"I had
. perfectly marvellous time. I got
. real rest"
With these words President
Roosevelt dismissed two weeks Of
fishing and cruising aboard Vim
cent AStor'S yacht, 1.-THE Nourma-
hal" today, and plunged into the
affairs Of the nation as his special
train sped northward to Wash
ington.
The Executives train pulled out
Of Miami, Fla, at $3.50 a. m, and
after an informal interview with
the press and a brief rest, he went
Immediately into conference with
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
johnson regarding problems OF the
recovery program.
Silent On Congress
In his interview, Mr.. Roosevelt
frankly said he did not want to
discuss details Of matters pending
before Congress or Of departmental
work, but did tell briefly and
clearly Of his trip aboard the
yacht.
The President diverted once to
say that he approved the Secur1'
ties act amendment suggested by
the Federal Trade Commission.
This, he explained, would limit
the liability of security issuing
houses to the total Of the amount
underwritten by the issuing house
rather than to the total stock
issued.
Discussing his cruise, the Execu-
tive said:
''The first two days ! slept and
fiShed. Then I caught = little
cold i'm my nose, and mostly
slept for two days. After this
got well 1 fiShed more. I just
lazed during the trip. had
perfectly marvellous time and
got . real rest"
The Presidents looks more than
backed up his words. Lolllng IN
his shirtsleeveS as the train moved
Northward, he presented tanned
picture Of health.
Richberg Joins Party
General johnson came aboard
the train with NRA Counsel
Donald R. Richberg and Miss
Frances Robinson, his secretary,
carrying q suitcase full Of data
and papers which he planned to
present to the President.
The matter of renewing or al
lowing to lapse the licensing
power that Is his under the re-
covery act probably will be set
tied by the President on the
train ride to Washington. Cen
eral johnson has said he did not
think this powerful weapon was
needed any longer, but the
President has never definitely
committed himself. Under pres
ent law, unless renewed, the
power lapses on June 16.
