The fact that japanese manu-
facturers of airplane cloth are at
tempting to break into the Ameri-
can field with their product, while
there is only one American manu-
facturer producing airplane cloth,
was revealed by President Roose'
welt at his press conference late
yesterday.
The further fact was revealed
by the President that the Japa-
nese manufacturer of this impor-
tant item in airplane manufac-
ture was able to underbid the one
American manufacturer by one
half.
U. S. Plant Gets Contract
The matter was Of such impor-
lance that this Government turned
down the japanese bid, although
the law specifies the contract
shall 60 to the lowest bidder, and
the reason given was that this
Government desired to encourage
the American manufacture Of this
important material.
President Roosevelt initiated
this information without having
been asked a question. The state
ment was made by him in the
course of an explanation of the
use of American steel in PWA
projects and a general discussion
of foreign products being used in
Government work.
Foreign Buying Curbed
The Presidents attitude was
completely along the line Of en-
couraging American manufacture
ers. He declared the Government
had adopted a policy of turning
down foreign bids where the for
eign competitor underbid by less
than IS per cent. This, he said,
was practically the addition Of IS
per cent to existing tariffs.
Whether or not the Govern
ment's policy of taking American
airplane cloth at the present high
bids is actually increasing the
product in this country was not
divulged. However, the present
Army and Navy programs, calling
for several hundred airplaneS dur
ing the present fiscal year, would
indicate that there will be large
demand for the product.

News SerVtce)
Senate Democratic leaders have
decided to postpone until the next
session Of Congress final action
on the gold clause resolution
asked by President Roosevelt.
Already passed by the House,
the measure, which would bar
suits against the Government on
dollar devalution, now is tied up
in the Senate Finance Commit
tee, and is unlikely to come out
of committee at this session.
Barred From Floor
II it should be reported, the
Senate chieftains have decided
that it will not be taken up on
the floor.
The decision was reached be-
cause Of the highly controversial
nature of the resolution. When
hearings were held in committee,
two former Secretaries of the
Treasury, Senator Glass CD Of
Virginia, and Senator McAdoo
Cd of California, assailed it as
unfair and a breach Of Govern
ment faith.
Majority Opposed
Even President RooSevelt's re-
mark at one Of his press con.
ferences that he saw no reason
why this Government should al
low itself to be sued when other
governments withheld that right,
failed to shake the stiff opposi-
ton.
Today. a slim majority of the
Finance Committee is unalterably
opposed to favorably reporting
the legislation.

BANKING BILL
VICTORY FOR
SEN. GLASS

Without a record vote, the SEN
ate late yesterday rushed a compro-
mise banking bill through to con-
ference, where Administration
leaders hoped to clinch the rigid
Federal monetary control they
hesitated to ask on the floor.
Passage was a triumph for Sen
ator Glass CD of Virginia, who
in two months committee hear
ings, had pared away much Of
the central banking authority the
House had given Governor Mar.
riner S. Eccles and the Federal
Reserve Board.
Underwriting Stays
Before the final vote, a motion
Of Senator La Toilette (P0 Of
Wisconsin to kill the wall
Street" amendment permitting
banks of deposit to resume Sc
curity underwriting was defeated,
80 to %. Chairman Fletcher, Of
the banking committee, an.
nounced the issue would be bat
tied out in conference.
Earlier, the Senate spurned the
Coughlin central bank plan prof
fered by Senator Nye (RO. Of
North Dakota. So to 10. The
decisive vote dissuaded Senator
Thomas CD of Oklahoma from
pressing his amendment for Gov.
eminent purchase of the pr1-
vately owned stock of the IL
Federal Reserve banks.
La Toilette Waits
Senator La Toilette also de-
fered showdown on the provision
permitting national bank directors
to serve on the board of one other
bank.
While arguing the dispensation
would mark the return of inter-
locking directorate evils Of 1929.
Mr.. La Toilette did not press his
amendment to strike it out, fear
ing an adverse vote might preju.
dice his and the Administrators
position in conference.
Lewis Ward, legislative repre-
sentative for the Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin, sat in the gallery as the
Detroit radio priests plan for a
aforementioned bank was
Smothered.

Senate Ends
Long Day Of
May l3

Reviving memories of the long
Legislative days" that marked
tariff debates in pre-New Deal
times when Congress wrote the
tariff laws, the Senate yesterday
adjourned" for the first time
since May Is.
At the end of each days labors
from that date to today the SEN
ate recessed" thereby extending
the Legislative day." Each day
there was a measure pending
when the Senate called it quits
until the banking bill was passed
yesterday afternoon then, with no
new measure pending, an adjourn
ment was ordered until Monday.
The longest legislative day in
recent history ran from April 20
to August 3, 1922, when the Ford
ney-McC umber tariff bill was be-
fore the Senate.
The Rev. ZeBarney T. Phillips,
Senate chaplain, stayed here until
a week ago in readiness to offer
prayer opening a new legislative
day. He is now at Cape Cod. Ar
rangements were being made for
a substitute clergyman to open
Mondays session.

AUGUST Is SET
F0RC0NGRESS
TO ADJOURN
international News Service

international News Service
Congress breathed easily today,
with only President RooSevelt's
tax program ahead barring ad-
journment.
True enough, there are five
major measures seething in con-
ference-that is, measures in
which the House and Genate YER
sions differ and which represen-
tatives of the two houses are try
ing to whip into legislation suit
able to both branches.
Floor Fights Over
But the big floor fights, save
taxes, are over. When the Sen
ate in a two-and-a-half-day de-
bate approved the new banking
legislation and sent it to con-
ference, the slate was cleared of
important bills.
Next week, the House probably
will pass the notorious bill, already
passed by the Senate, and the
Senate probably will pass the leg
islation setting up a new alcohol
control unit.
After that, the Senate will take
a three-day recess while the House
works on the tax bill, and while
its Finance Committee holds tax
hearings and whips a bill into
shape.
Adjournment August rs
Leaders today, including Sen.
ator Barley CD of Kentucky,
acting Democratic leader of the
Senate, predicted an adjourn
ment not later than August rs
possibly by August 20. The posi-
BILE obstacle to this lies in a po-
tential insurgent fight to broaden
the tax bills scope.
Of the five bills in conference,
two are deadlocked, the utility
holding company bill and the So
cial security legislation.
Prospects for any agreement on
the holding company bill ap-
peared dim. Unless there is a
definite "break" on the part of
Senate or House conferees, this
legislation is likely to go over
until next session.
Hitch on Security Bill
The conferees are having a
tough time with the social Sc
curity bill, but any signs of a
swift adjournment depending on
this would bring quick action.
The battle there centers over
the amendment inserted by Sena-
tor Clark CD of Missouri, ex-
empting commercial pension Sys-
TENS from the tax proposed under
the Federal set-up embodied in the
bill.

BALL SHORTAGE
SCREWED

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, July 27-Echoes of the Wade
Ball shortage in Arlington county
were heard at a political rally in
Lyon Park last night.
Lyman M. Kelley, ousted chair
man Of the county board and
candidate for county clerk, told
several hundred persons in Com
munity House that when the short
age of former County Treasurer
Wade Ball was discovered, his
brother, Frank L. Ball, former
State senator, appeared before the
board and requested that the
shortage be kept a secret until
Wade had time to replace the
money"
Mr.. Kelley declared he opposed
such a program. This action, Mr..
Kelley, said, was one of the many
things that turned the Court
House ring" against him and later
resulted in his being framed" and
removed from office as chairman
of the county board.
Following the candidates for
County Clerk, those for Common
wealth's Attorney addressed the
group. The incumbent, Lawrence
w. Douglas, told of money he had
recovered for the county in sew
eral shortage cases that had de-
veloped in the county offices.
His opponent, Emery Hosmer,
declared that in every case the
bonding companies of the officers
found short had sought immedi-
ate settlement and consequently
there was little or no work to be
done handling these cases.

Short Movement
The theme shown above is from
the second movement, the An
dante, from Mozart's Symphony
No. IS (Haffner) :" It is somewhat
confusing to refer to this sym.
phony as in D major, as Mozart
wrote another symphony in D
major, the No. SO. In fact, he
wrote so many symphonies that
are published, that the number
should always be included to avoid
confusion.
This Andante movement of the
"Haffner" is the shortest move
ment of the four and is scored
mostly for the string choir with
only an occasional phrase by the
woodwinds.

|Menuhin World Tour
In the short time since his con-
cert here this winter, Yehudi Men
uhin, young American violinist,
has precipitated the greatest con-
cert sensation Australia has ever
had. Menuhin is on his first
world tour.
The youthful genius temper
arily pushed into the background
affairs of state, religious ructions
and civic controversies. Yehudi
was literally handed the keys of
the Commonwealth Of Australia,
which he in turn used to unlock
the hearts of its people.
TabloidS ran carried page pic
lures featuring Yehudi's magical
hands. The larger dailies ran ex-
tended articles and double column
editorials. Suddenly the veteran
critics were stripped of their list
of negative adjectives. One hailed
him as the "Siegfried of the vio-
lin" Another called him the
Apostle with a message" The
critics virtually confessed a be-
wilderment on their part.
Said the Sydeny Morning
Herald" "It is difficult to write
coherently about Menuhin's play
ing without seeming foolish to the
casual reader. But his playing can.
not be explained, analysed or de-
scribed. It is a phenomena in the
realm of actual music. A sort of
ultimate heart-rendering perfec-
ton"

highway construction until their
deficits are filled, State Roads
Commission Chairman Homer E.

six counties met to discuss the
problem of highway funds. Tabler
pointed out that two-thirds of the
States counties have total road
deficit of nearly $1,O00,000.

laden counties to issue bonds
rather than increase taxes to
meet obligations. No action was

TENSION EASES ABROAD.

The European situation becomes more intriguing, and despite the determination of 52 nations to enforce an economic blockade against Italy on November lS This, apparently is attributable to two things, the most important being that France and Great Britain have gotten together The other may be the difficulties Mussoni's forces encountering in making their advance into Ethiopian territory.
 g, It is evident now that the British and French are in one accord as to Italy and this would indicate that England has had her way, for Premier Laval was for 8 time attempting to flirt with Mussolin Anything could have happened in Europe had France decided to cast her with the Italians but with her on the side of Great Britain at least far the present situation pertains it makes the picture the water much .ess dangerous than previously appeared Time only can tell the ultimate result but the fact that the two key nations in the League of Nations in the group of 52 with which Mussoini has to deal and with their own disputes apparently settled, lends weight to the hope that major European conflict may be avoided
 The fact that Italy is making slow progress into Ethiopia probably due to the lack of roads and gen. orally intolerable climatic conditions gives further reason for Mussolinis recent assertion through his personal representative Baron Alois that Italy does mot refuse peace although she still insists on right of expansion and security in carrying out such pro- gram Those are milder words than the Italian Pre- mer used a month ago and they indicate Italy is modifying her original demands.
 great many things may happen in Europe between now and November IS when the blockade is due to go into effect but the tone of dispatches in the last few days gives indication that the tension is consid erably eased
