FORMER OFFICIAL
FIGURES IN PROBE
War Department Name Fig
ureS in SiIverman Con-
tract Inquiry.
BY REX COLLIER.

The name of a former high War
Department official has been drawn
into the grand jury investigation Of
negotiations for a trading deal that
the General staff of the Army is re-
ported to have blocked recently be-
cause it felt the trade would cost the
Government about 100000.
This former official was in a posi-
tiOn while in office to become thor
oughly familiar with supplies of Army
equipment Of the type which Joseph
Silverman, jr., New York trader,
sought to exchange for 700, 1000 suits
Of wollen underwear he previously had
purchased from the War Department.
After leaving the War Department
the official is alleged to have taken
part in certain conferences which
preceded signing by Silverman Of a
contract which the latter, in a letter
to Secretary of War Dern, yesterday
demanded be acknowledged and full
filed by the War Department.
Supplies for Exchange.
Under this agreement" the force
Of which the War Department refuses
to admit, Silverman was to turn back
to the Army surplus underwear which
he had bought for 1855 cents per suit
and which he had been unable to dis
pose Of. and was to receive large
stocks Of saddles brides, tarpaulinS
and other supplies to be listed as
surplus"
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief OF
staff, and Maj. Gen. Robert E. CAL
Ian, general staff officer in charge of
supplies, halted further negotiations
under the signed contract" on the
ground that the Army materials in
Cluded in the transfer were not sur
plus and were vital to the national
defense.
Involved in these negotiations also
is so-called lawyer lobbyist, prom
inent in American Legion affairs, and
whose indictment, it is reported, will
be asked by the Government on sew
eral counts. This man, with another
leading Legion figure, has been under
inquiry in connection with allegations
Of motor manufacturers that claims
were made to them of inside inf1u-
ence" by lawyers friendly" with the
War Department.
Defended in Letter.
Silverman, in a letter delivered to
Dern through A. Mitchell Palmer, for
mer Attorney General, acting as his
attorney. defended the proposed trade
and advised the War Secretary that
the Government will save S70O 900 by
going through with the deal. He

A radically different banking order
for the period of the economic emer-

tentatively approved today by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The plan means shifting load of
capital financing from the banks to
chain, especially created for the
purpose.
At Mr.. RooSevelt's word the Federal
Reserve Board is perfectirg legisla-
ton for a chain Of banks organized
to make capital loans to little indus

Proceeding on the belief respon-

absolute essential to recovery, the Re-

organizing banks designed to ease
funds for heavy industries in re-em-

Capital Undecided.

These banks would be somewhat
analogous to the intermediate credit
banks that lend to farmers co-opera-
tives. But no decision has been
reached on whether their capital
should be subscribed by the Govern
ment-as in the case Of the farm
banks-or privately.
Furthers the industrial intermedi-
aries. which probably would be 10
Gated in Reserve Bank cities, would
lend directly to the individual on a
long-term basis. Five years was one
figure mentioned.
Men behind the proposal contended
it would not compete with private
banking, but rather supplement it and
open the way to more extensive and
profitable lending.
At the Capitol, meantime, legisla-
tors considered two administration
recommendations,
One would extend for a year the
temporary insurance Of deposits up
to s250O. It was said to insure 81
per cent of all deposits and 90 per
cent of the banks.
Another was a recommendation
from Gov. Eugene Black Of the Re-
serve Board to extend by one to three
years the law permitting use of direct
Federal obligations for collateral for
Federal Reserve notes.
Black in Conference.
Black conferred with President
Roosevelt and Secretary Morgenthau
late yesterday. He was understood
to have received word to perfect
plans for the proposed bank chain,
and soon will discuss the project with
Jesse Jones, chairman of the R. F.

Question Its Worth.

VTIHILE no definite decision as to
" the 1885 event has been made
the Kenwood folk are asking
themselves these questions: SIS it
worth while to stage a tournament for
Washington which Washington people
do not support the way they should?
Can we keep on holding such an affair
for the good Of the city without the
support of the general public? Is it
worth while for us to put so much
work and so much money into tour
nament at a loss?"
On the other hand, the National
Capital open tournament has become
a fixture among the professionals, an
affair to which they look forward each
year and definite part of the Fall
schedule. The failure this year of
Runyan, Smith and others to come to
Washington for the tourney may be
laid at the door of the date, which
they thought was too early; to the
fact that some Of the topnotchers were
getting ready to go TO Australia and
could not leave their clubs to play at
Kenwood; and to the fact that the
date did not coincide with the dates
for the Pinehurst mid-South. So do
not be surprised at an announcement
that Kenwood will not hold the Ma
tional Capital open next year. They
have done a fine job, those Kenwood
folk, but they cannot keep on doing it
forever. And Don Chamberlain has
consistently said that it is not entirely
a Kenwood show. ANY other club
that wants it can have it," he says.
Evening star., 1934-10-26
WASHINGTON FANS
TEP|D IN SUPPORT
Any Other Club That Wants
1t Is Welcome to 1t,
Says Chamberlain.

THERE is more than a possibility
that the National Capital open
/ golf championship has been
held at the Kenwood Golf and
Country Club for the last time. AL
though it is too early for club officials
to say anything about it in a definite
way year in advance Of the 1885 af-
fair, II held, the way the wind Is blow
ing among responsible officials who
handled the 1884 version of the tour
ney it looks as if Kenwood does not
intend to stage such an event next
year.
Harassed by bad weather for the
four tournaments already held, meet
ing with insufficient and apathetic
support on the part Of the golf loving
public, Kenwood has plugged ahead in
the face of many obstacles for four
years in staging Washington's biggest
golf show. The profits have been
nebulous, almost infinitesimal. This
years tournament showed a deficit,
small to be sure, but nevertheless a
deficit, part of which can be charged
to the bad weather Of October 6, the
opening day, and part to the fact that
such stars as Horton Smith, Paul
Runyon. KY Laffoon, Tommy Armour
and others did not appear.
Only once has the tournament
shown a net profit and that profit was
SO small it was hardly worth working
for. Kenwood has taken a licking on
the four tournaments, not a bad lick
ing in a financial way, but one that no
club can keep on taking and survive.
Incomplete financial statements on the
tourney held early this month show a
loss Of between $500 and S400 on the
1884 show, despite the herculean en-
deavors of Don Chamberlain, j. E.
Hutchinson. jr., and the other hard
working Kenwood men who put the
affair across.
