HOUSE BACKED
ON STOCK BILL
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt wants the
stock market regulation bill ad-
ministered by the Federal Trade
Commission. He also wants the
House provision calling for As
per cent marginal requirement.
The President has so advised
both Senate and House conferees
who are whipping the measure
into final form.
The President explained at his
seni-weekly press conference to-
day that in his opinion the Trade
Commission already has the basic
machinery for administering the
bill, and pointed out that the ex-
perse would be less under such a
plan than under a separate COM
mission.
Two commissioners will be
added to the trade commission in
order to facilitate administration
of the new bill, under Mr.. Roose-
velt's plan.
The President advised the con-
ferees that he felt the question of
banking credit for brokers' loans
should be handled by the Federal
Reserve Board.
Mr.. Roosevelt indicated that the
amendments to the securities act,
as carried in livestock market bill,
are suitable.

George R. Pond and Cesare

They expect to leave here to-

this Seacoast town when engine
trouble developed, they will fly on
to Rome. They did not indicate
when they would attempt the

Governor Silent on Fall Plans;
May Run as Independent,
Politicians Believe

PHILADELPHIA, May 16G.N.S0
straightforward Gov. Clifford
Pinchot, who gave no quarter in
his fight to snatch the Republi-
can senatorial nomination in
Pennsylvania's primary election
from David A. Reed, admitted de-
feat today, but assured his fol-
lowers 'he would be in good shape
in the fall"
Although he cautiously guarded
against committing himself on
whether he will run in the No.
vember general election as an in
dependent, the veteran of many
political campaigns by inference
indicated the possibility existed.
Refuses to Talk
When asked whether he in.
tended to press his charges that
Senator Reeds campaign expendi-
lures were far in excess Of the
Federal laws, the governor re.
piled:
II don't want to talk politics
today"
Meanwhile, Senator Reeds plu.
rality in the balloting pressed
hard on 10000 votes on the basis
of unofficial returns from approx
mately $500 of the States 1884
precincts.
Governor Pinchot failed to
carry even his home town of Mil
ford. Complete returns today
showed Senator Reed received 112
and Governor Pinchot 102 of the
214 ballots cast in the Republican
primary.
Blamed on Illness
Senator Reeds nomination was
regarded as an indirect rejection
of the Roosevelt New Deal" poll
c;es which the Senator bitterly
assailed and the Governor heartily
praised throughout their cam
paignS.
The Governor, mourning defeat
in his third attempt to gain the
Republican senatorial nomination,
attributed his defeat in part to
his inability to campaign IN his
usual vigorous manner this year
because of a long confinement
in a New York hospital with
shingles"
Mrs. Pinchot, crusading wife
of the Chief Executive, inter-
rupted the conversation to ask
were they happy at the Demo-
cratic headquarters this morn
ing?"
Should Be Pleased
Receiving non. comm1ttal
answer, she remarked:
"Well, they ought to be
pleased to have Dave Reed as
the Republican nominee"
In the general election, Senator
Reed will face Joseph F. Guffey,
Roosevelt patronage dispenser in
the Keystone State, who scored
an overwhelming victory over Ro-
land S. Morris, his anti-organiZa-
ton rival for the Democratic
nomination.

By ROGER HAWTHORNE

Led by the Mcleod bloc, which
is fighting for bank relief legis-

today are planning strategy for
upsetting Administration leaders

The other two groups, also seek

Captain of Lightship Tells
of Sinking Fatal to Seven;
Flung in Sea, Can't Swim

NEW YORK, May 16 G.N.S).
Graphic eyewitness stories of the
sinking of the Nantucket Shoals
lightship by the giant liner
Olympic in a dense fog off Nam
tucket Island. Mass, with a loss
of seven lives, were related by
survivors today when the Olympic
slowly steamed into New York
harbor with three of the dead
and four survivors.
His head swathed in bandages
and putting at pipe, Capt.
George w. Braithwaite, 69-year-
old commander of the Inflated
lightship, told how he consigned
himself to God Almighty" when
the Olympic crashed into his
ship and tossed him into the
turbulent waters.
Others told how the collision
occurred Gin the flash of an eye"
and of the heroism displayed by
rescuers from the Olympic.
A huge throng of reporters
and photographers boarded the
Olympic near the Statue of Lib
erty as it steamed into the har-
Dor this morning. In two rooms
on the promenade deck they
found the four survivors-Cap-
tain Braithwaite, First Mate Cliff
ton Mosher, Radio Operator John
+. Perry and Laurent Robert, an
oiler, all residents of Massachu-
sets.
Persuaded to Talk
Captain Braithwaite, a stocky,
ruddy-cheeked man with a sense
of humor, didn't want to talk. 1t
seems years ago he was in an &C
cident at sea, talked willingly, and
almost lost my job" But the
reporters persuaded him to relate
his experience. He said:

Relied Upon Guessing
But conditions failed to improve,
and for hours we carried on, some
times flying high and sometimes
only a few feet from the water in
an effort to locate better flying
conditions.
Then, when We were about two
thirds of the way across, real

The motor started misfiring and
Spluttering. We diagnosed the
trouble as a choke in the main
