DEATH THREATENS.
BANK BILL CLAUSE
Roosevelt Wants Limited
Securities Underwriting
Provision Killed.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Predictions were heard today that
Congress will eliminate provision in
the compromise omnibus banking bill
permitting banks of deposit to carry
on a limited business in the under
writing of securities.
President Roosevelt expressed strong
opposition TO it yesterday. Members
of the Senate Banking Committee
said it was immaterial TO them
whether the underwriting authority
was retained or stricken cut.
The Presidents opposition, as ex-
pressed at his press conference, was
based on the contention that even
limited permission to engage in the
security business might lead to q
return to evils which led to q ban
being placed on such activities by
the 1888 banking act.
A special committee of the Amer
lean Bankers Association has decided
not to take q stand for or against
the provision.
The banking bill will be brought up
for debate in the Senate soon, and
predictions today we're that the clause
would be eliminated either on the
floor or in conference with the House.
The President had discussed the
subject with Senator Glass, Democrat,
of Virginia. prior to the press con-
ference.
The bill as revised by the Glass
subcommittee would permit any bank
Of deposit to underwrite dp to 20 per
cent Of a single issue of securities, or
total of 500 900, whichever was the
greater. This could not exceed 10
per cent Of capital and surplus, or 200
per cent as applied to all issues. Sales
would be limited to the open market
Chairman Fletcher OF the Senate
Banking Committee said the provi
sion contained many safeguards. but
he feared it might open the door for
wider participation by banks in the
security business later on. He also
expressed the belief the banks would
find a way 10 get around the pro-
posed limita ions
Senator Glass would not comment
on the Presidents statement. but as
sociates OF the Virginian said he did
not care whether the amendment re-
manned in or out of the bill.

STRAUSS RESIGNS
NAZ! MUSIC POST
Political Row Over Jewish
Collaboration Blamed
for Move.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July l3-Richard Strauss.
distinguished composer. resigned 10
day as president OF the Third Reich's
Music Chamber because OF advanced
age" but it was an open secret that
his withdrawal was a result Of politics.
When Strauss latest opera. The
Silent Woman" was presented at
Dresden three weeks ago, NaI leaders
were significantly absent. NaZis re-
sented the fact he had retained Stefan
Zweig, Jewish author, TO write the
libretto for the opera.
Wilhelm Raabe was appointed to
replace the 71-year Strauss. while
Paul Graener was designated ss head
OF the German Composers League,
of which Strauss also had been pres
ident.
Raabe Is Conductor.
Raabe, who was born at Frankfort
on-Main November 81, 1872. Is musi-
cal director general at Aachen. Pre-
viously he was conductor at Weimar
and custodian Of the Liszt Museum.
He has conducted in England, Bel
GUM and Holland and also has writ
ten a number of songs and piano
pieces and has edited the complete
works OF Franz List.
Production of The Silent Woman"
provoked q fight in Nazi ranks be-
tween factions Of DR.. Joseph Goebbels.
propaganda minister. and DR.. Alfred
Rosenberg. philosophic dictator and
pagan faith leader.
Feared Scandal.
Goebbels permitted presentation of
the opera, although the libretto was
written by Zweig. apparently because
he feared an international scandal in
case the opera was refused.
Nazis were further offended when
Zweig said his royalties from per-
formance Of The Silent Woman" in
Germany would be given to the Jewish
welfare fund.
Graener. the new head of the Com
poSers' League, is a native of Berlin,
where he was born in 1872, and is
known as an opera and song composer

JOHNSON LASHES
us. CONTROL FOES
Answers WadsWorth Plea
for Tenth Amendment
at Affairs Institute.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
UNIVERSITY, Va, July 13.-With
his accustomed fair for colorful
phraseology. Gen. Hugh s. johnson,
former N. r. A. chieftain. gave New
Deal opponents a verbal whacking in
a session of the Institute of Public
Affairs here last night.
He followed Representative James
w. Wadsworth, of New York, to the
speakers rostrum and pointed many
OF his remarks toward the address
WadSworth made. The New Yorker
had cited the tenth amendment to the
Constitution as setting forth the
limitations Of power of the Federal
Government and said that the Su-
preme Court decision on N. r. A.
had Served as sharp reminder
that our Federal Government may
exercise only those powers which are
delegated to it, and that the powers
not delegated are reserved to the
States and to the people as provided
in the tenth amendment
Johnson Replies.
johnson, with reference to Wads-
worth's point. asked lis there between
the power Of the State and OF the
Nation to regulate economic group
ings a great blind zone wnere The
States, by physical fact, cannot con-
troll. and the Federal Government
cannot control, in which the forces
Of rapacity can run riot?"
If the United States "tolerates such
vacuum of anarchy it will become
the laughing stock OF the world"
johnson said.
Business leaders who now criticise
the New Deal stood in March, 1888. on
the doorstep Of the Government and
asked for the N r. A., the general
asserted. The President of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce, now
critical of the administration, begged
that President Roosevelt be given two
years of dictatorial power over busi-
ness, the speaker said.
Depreciates Cost.
Johnson asked why critics OF the
New Deal now ouibble about the cost
of mOpping up their mess" by spend
ing 5000 600 COO year TO keep 30
900. 900 victims OF their blundering
from starving and freezing" when
there was wiped out. in one disastrous
week $40 900 900 600 in values. more
than the entire war debt"
As formula for the return OF pros
perity, johnson offered the distribu-
tion of opportunity.
open the fields for small individ-
ual enterprises he said: stop wiping
them out Raise wages, shorten hours.
See to it that we have neither favored
nor underpriviIeged classes: cease our
idolatry Of meIe bignesS. restore our
agriculture TO parity with industry"
That" he said, is the New Deal.
II We can only do that We shall see
the greatest prosperity this country
has ever known"
Wadsworth predicted that the
American electorate next year will be
called upon TO consider the question
of preservation or abandonment Of
the tenth amendment to the Con-
stitution, which he termed the key
stone in the arch" of the Federal
Union of States.
Blast it away" he said, "and you
transform our whole American Gov
eminent from that of a Federal union
to one imperial in character"
