BILL
IS SPEEDED
To HOUSE
Committee, Under Pressure
From White House, to Rush
Security Plan
International News Service

Under pressure from the White
House, the Ways and Means Com
mittee today planned to present
the far-flung economic security
bill to the House early next week.
A series of battles over modltl-
cation of the measure, which IN
cludes unemployment insurance,
old age pensions and other social
provisions, will be fought out IN
committee before a report is made.
President Roosevelt has ap-
proved the revised bill as a whole,
but the committee was still split
on many provisions.
Chairman Doughton CD OF
North Carolina, of the committee,
said:
1--WE hope to have the bill in
the House early next week at
the latest. 1 don't expect any
substantial changes"
The committee apparently had
won a decisive victory over Secre'
tary of Labor Perkins.
Victory Over Miss Perkins
The original proposal of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Miss Perkins
called for an unemployment social
insurance board in the Labor De-
partment.
The committee, however, pro-
posed an independent social in
surance board to handle both url-
employment insurance and old
age pensions. The President was
said to have accepted the change,
despite Miss Perkins emphatic
protest.
The committee plan approved
by the White House also takes
administration of old-age pen
sions for the needy out OF the
hands of Federal Relief Admins
traitor Harry L. Hopkins.
Payroll Tax Delayed
There was a strong possibility
that the unemployment insurance
payroll tax, slated to begin Janu-
ary /, 1886, at l per cent and
reach per cent the third year.
would be postponed for one or
two years.
Failure of Congress to enact
the law in time for State legisla-
lures to set up unemployment in
surance systems was given as a
reason for the possible postpone
ment.

BILL
HELD Up IN
HOUSE
Silver BIoc's Desperate Fight
to Keep Initiation Clause
Opposed by Leaders
national News Service

Action on the Administrations
4,880-million-dollar Work-r e II e I
bill was delayed further today
when an effort to send it to con-
ference with the Senate was
blocked in the House.
Leaders indicated a special rule
would be obtained to throw the
measure, which in ludes the
Thomas silver rider" into con-
ference tomorrow.
Silver Bloc Fights
With the House "Silver bloc
fighting for acceptance Of all Sen,
ate amendments, Administration
leaders were maneuvering to foil
them and hurry final enactment
of the measure.
Representative Johnson CD of
Texas prevented the bill from
going to conference by refusing
unanimous consent. This pre-
vented the "silver bloc" from
moving Immediately to concur in
all Senate amendments.
Chairman Buchanan (D) of
Texas, of the Appropriations Com.
mittee, said the bill may be re,
committed to the Appropriations
Committee to consider the 81 Sen
ate amendments.
, A White House conference pre-.
ceded the House action, with
Speaker ByrnS intimating that
President Roosevelt wants d
change in many of the Senate
amendments.
FilibuSter Fought
With the life of the Civilian
Conservation Corps expiring on
March 81 and with Mr.. Roosevelt
waiting the word of Congress be-
fore inaugurating a vast program
aimed at putting 100000 men to
work, Democratic leaders were
seeking every means to prevent
a filibuster.
Unless the silver rider, which
provides for mandatory coinage
of silver at $1.29 an ounce, is &C.
cepted, a filibuster may be started
by Senator Huey Long CD of
Louisiana and Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma.
Chairman Buchanan said today:
"The bill, as passed by the
Senate, is a mess. There are
amendments absolutely contra
diotOry."

! ehake-up in the personnel Of
the Fifth Police Precinct loomed
today, with an order by Com
missioner Melvin C. HaZen for a
complete investigation into
charges that member OF the
precinct force tipped off" a
gambling establishment shortly
before it was raided.
Calling in Superintendent OF
Police Major Ernest w. Brown, AS
sistant superintendent Thaddeus
r. Bean, and Corporation Coun-
sci E. Barrett Prettyman, the Dis
trict head asked for a thorough
probe into the graft" charges

Investigating Committee.
Commissioner HaZen placed In
spector Bean in charge OF the in
vestigation. He pointed out that
the Fifth precinct was under In
spector Albert j. Headley's super
vision. When asked if this was
not a "slap in the face for Head
ley" Commissioner Hazen said:
"YOu can cOnStrue it as you
like"
The District head stated the in
Vestigation will cover the question
o. whether some member Of the
force clipped off" the gambling
establishment and will delve into
the general morale and disci-
pline" of the Fifth precinct.
A report on the investigation
will not be filed until the Crime
Investigating Committee has COM
pleted it's probe. Commissioner
HAGEN said. He stated that

precinct may be found necessary.

PARIS, March Is G.N.s0.
Midst the walls of two babies

The accused include Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Gordon Switz. of
East Orange, N. j.. alleged active
participants in the spy ring
which France accuses Soviet
Russia of financing.
Babies Cry in Court
The preliminary proceedings
were interrupted time and again
by the cries of the babies, Off
spring of Marie Mermet and
Mrs. Noise Salman, two of the
defendants, but they were per-
mitted to remain in the court
room in custody of relatives.
Presiding Judge Etienne Revol
opened the trial by questioning
the various prisoners. Switz told
the court he was an aviator by
profession and had never been
convicted previously Of a crime.
Mrs. Switz said she had no pro-
feSSion.
An early demand was made by
attorneys for the accused to
quash the proceedings in view Of
the rapprochement betwee n
France and Soviet Russia. The
request was denied.
Announcement was made the
trial itself would be held in
camera, with only representa-
tives of the war and navy minis
tries and the Surete Nationale
present.
60 Lawyers Present
Sixty lawyers were on hand to
represent the prisoners, including
one woman.
Richard zimmerman. American
lawyer employed by the Switzes,
made an eleventh-hour attempt to
attend the trial, but was refused
despite a formal request to French
authorities by American Consul
Robert D. Murphy.

Tended only by a young French at
torney.. Henry Kotz. during the
three weeks the trial is expected
to last. Only three sessions will

French Increase
Naval Funds
By WILLIAM PARKER

PARIS, March Is G.N.S).
Americas and Japan's increases
were brought into the arms pic
ture along with Germany's con-
scription today as the Chamber
of Deputies, turning to Frances
sea defense, voted a special bill,
lion-franc increase in the marine
appropriation by 453 to 125.
The program calls for a new
treaty.limit first-line battieship of
$4,000 tons to cost 785, 100000
francs; two destroyers totaling g.,
400 tons to cost 14S 100000 francs,
and 132,OO0,000 francs to equip
the new units.
10 Million Program
The total outlay is to be 1865
00O, 900 francs, or about $70,290, 900.
Emphasizing foreign naval con-
Struction, Pierre Appel put par
ticular stress on Germany's ac-
celeration of her new 10,000-ton
pocket battleship" construction
program as he presented the sup
Elementary naval estimates to
the chamber.
The only flare-up in the brief
debate came when Francois
Pietri, minister of the navy, was
speaking for the measure. Al
though a big navy advocate, he
said:
1--WE are bound by treaties
and cannot change tonnage at
will"
SAYS TREATY IGNORED
Gratien Candage, Negro dep
uty from Guadeloupe, yelled:
Nobody else seems to be
bound by treaties"
M. Pietri calmly continued:
"France must give an exam.
pie of treaty respect when
others ignore them. 1 regard
the Washington treaty as bind
ing and intend to apply it to
our navy"
The tonnage of the French
navy, he said, is now 27 per
cent less than it was before the
war. Then it was 100000 tons,
and now it is $4,000.
The navy minister al o
pointed out that the postwar
tonnage of the United States
had increased 26 per cent, Jap
ans, 81 per cent, and Italy'S,
16 per cent.

Hitler In Fear
Of Red Inuasion
By PIERRE ]. HUSS

BERLIN, March Is QN.SO.
The Soviet Russian menace" to
Germany and the threat Of q
new naval-building race in Europe
today dominated a four-hour con.
ference between Chancellor Hit
ler and Foreign Secretary Sir
John Simon of Britain.
Hitler, it was learned, virtually
monopolized the conversation,
while Sir John merely injected an
occasional question or explana.
ton. The German standpoint on
all questions regarding rearma-
ment and equality was exhaus-
lively portrayed.
Fears Red Attack
The proposed Eastern Locarno
pact was the great issue against
which Hitler unloosed his verbal
barrage, and he insisted that Ger
many's preparedness was to de-
fend herself against the possibil-
ity of Red" invasion.
Russia Feared
The conference took place in
Hitler's official study in the chan
cellory building.
Graphically visualizing the Rus
sian menace against Germany"
Hitler seized the opportunity to
reassure Sir John of Germany's
peaceful intentions, but reiter-
ated he was willing at no cost to
endanger Germany's security.
He turned the tables on the
British at the outset by bringing
up the question of Austrian SOW
ereignty. He said it was no
longer a question of Germany
guaranteeing Austria's independ-
ence but of examining her pres.
ent independence under the
present dominance of certain
powers.

All the news from the bedside
of Louis McHenry Howe, indicated
that the Presidents secretary is
about to fool the doctors and get
well.
He has been on the verge Of
death constantly during the last
week; the doctors have given him
up daily; he has had the White
House in gloom; he has inter-
fered constantly with the White
House official and social calendar;
his ILLNESS had almost stopped the
functioning of the executive
branch Of the Government. E.
He has been unconscious most
of the time since the middle of
last week. Yesterday his heart
stopped for an appreciable length
of time, medically speaking. Then
it went forward feebly and stopped
again. The second time it re.
mained stopped longer than the
first time. The doctors thought
ne had gone.
But, today, he awoke. bright
and clipper. and asked for some
thing to eat and began to talk to
people.
Doctors Baffled
The doctors were again baffled,
and evidently they came to the
point where they admitted they
were baffled and mystified and
completely over their heads.
DR.. Ross T. Mcintyre, the White
House physician, called a consul
tation at II o'clock today, but late
today had not issued an official
bedside bulletin
However, the rumor spread
rapidly from the sick room that

JAPS NAY ARM
PACIFIC ISLES

Annexation and fortification of
the inundated islands in the
Western Pacific by Japan in the
event of war is predicted in a
book being circulated in Washing.
ton today by the japanese EN-
bassy.
Paul H. Clyde, author of the
book, "Japan's Pacific Mandate" "
emphatically denies, h wever,
that Japan already has started
work on Notifications. despite
widespread rumorS that this is
being done in violation of the
Washington Treaty.
Writing of the strategic value
of the island, Mr.. Clyde says:
"ShOuld Japan at some future
time become engaged in naval
warfare in the Western Pacific,
she would in all probability an
mex and fortify the islands"
Mr.. Clyde made tour of inspec-
tion of the mandate area last year
as a guest of the japanese gov
ernment, and asserts that all
work being done on harbors is
purely for commercial purposes.
The question of fortification Of
these islands under Japanese
mandate is q vital one to the
United States, for several of the
islands are molly so miles from
Guam, one of Americas most i'm
portant naval bases.
Under the terms Of the Wash
ington Treaty, the United States
dropped its plan to fortify Guam
while Japan agreed not to fortify
the islands allotted to her manage
ment.
