NEW YORK, July 3l-New York
Jewish and German elements renewed
protests and counter protests today
over the attitude of Mayor La Guardia
and incidents Of alleged religious per-
secutions in Germany.
The mayor was denounced at two
mass meetings Of German
last night as an "inciter of race
hatred"
He was praised at meeting of Jews
of German origin, where Representa-
tive Emanuel Celler rejoiced that
"his name has rung around the world"
The Commonweal, a Catholic week
ly, demanded editorially that Catho-
hes boycott the Olympic games to
be held in Berlin in 1896.
The mayor, meanwhile, continued
In his refusal to grant a masseur's
license to Paul Kress, German alien.
Kress, declaring himself uninterested
politically, said he would carry the
matter to court.
1t was the mayors refusal to grant
this license, on the ground that

objects of discrimination in Germany.

for the purpose of balancing the ma
tional budget And when we say bal
ancing the budget, we mean not a dual
system Of bookkeeping, but limiting
our total expenditures to our total
revenue.
Coupled with increased taxation,
We urge upon you the fundamental
proposition that any program to raise
additional revenue can benefit the
country only if paralleled by a de-
termination to apply the brakes to the
spending of Government money.
"Dries Up Revenue"
Experience has demonstrated that
the excessive taxation of large incomes
and estates will not only not produce
revenue, but will, in addition, dry up
the source of revenue I"
"The New York Board Of Trade
recommends a courageous broadening
of the tax base as one of the most
effective means of bringing our Gov
ernment finances into ultimate bal
ance, and at the same time, making
our citizens recognize their own
personal interest in the expenditures
of their Government"
In conclusion Seidman submitted
proposed list Of income surtaxes
and inheritance taxes which. covered
a broader base Of levy.
Henry NJ. Powell. representing New
York Associated Industries, appeared
next in opposition to the program.

the appearance Of T. ]. Priestley, jr.,
Of Philadelphia. who urged tax upon

mittee," Patton replied. as chuckle
ran through the committee ranks and
small audience.
Patton said he went to the Hunts
vile bank December 81 and drew his
account there in five Sl00 bills. after
having drawn 1921 of an account with
the Palestine, Tex. Royal National
Bank on December 26.
In addition, he said, he still had
warrants totaling $68l.20 received as
salary as State Senator, but which
he had not cashed because he would
have had to take a discount.
II never was fellow to pay in
terest." he drawled, so I held on to
them as had little cash and didn't
need to then"
Kept Account Of Trip Expense.
Patton also said he was paid, May
colored minister.
Describing minute details, the Texan
said his family kept account of their
expenses on the road by automobile,
even down to every bottle of pop"
They totaled, he said, around S66.
Asked by Dies about his expenses
in Washington, Patton said, We'll. I
spent whole lot more than Govern
ment worker ordinarily does, as my
wife was always after me about spend
ing too much money"
He repeated testimony before the
Senate Committee last week concern
ing his trip to the Mayflower Hotel to
see Carpenter as well as other Texans,
including my lieutenant governor
and, I think, my attorney general,
William McCraw."
Then he told in detail how he met
Sellers.
Made No Effort to Conceal Box.
Patton said he met Sellers in Austin,
Tex, while Sellers was lobbying for
the West Texas Utilities Co."
He said Carpenters son gave him a
box of cigars and remarked that Sellers
had smoked most of them. He said he
made no effort to conceal the box as
he left the hotel.
Patton told Dies he went to the Sen
ate committee because he mad read
that it had received testimony about
passage of a box between Carpenter
and a member of Congress.
"I knew I had received a box of
cigars" he explained. "and felt ]
should tell the committee about it as
I told Blanton Representative Blan-
ton, Democrat, of Texas. I had
nothing to hide and did not care who
knew anything I had done"
Patton Asks Facts Be Known.
Patton concluded with an almost
sobbing appeal to newspaper men to
"let the country know the facts"
Patton said he had received checks
and other evidence he submitted from
Texas only this morning. He said he
would insist on presenting the same
information to the Senate Committee
"Is there anybody else you would
like to have testify?" Patton was
asked.
YES" he said. 'Mr. Sellers"
1--WE can't find Mr.. Sellers" Chair
man O'Connor said.
"Yes, and nobody else can," Patton
replied.
Patton said Sellers told his daughter
not to worry about the cigar box in
cident because you know know there
was nothing in that box but cigars" T"
I'D hate to testify against a dog" "
the Texan said on questioning, "but I
heard Sellers had been before the
Senate committee. think he had
talked to some one on the Senate
committee"

Patrick j. Hurley, Secretary OF War
In the Hoover cabinet, said today:
Almost any one would have sense
enough not to hire me to use my
influence with New Deal Congress,
as that influence would not be worth
q nickel of any ones money"
He made this comment on testi-
mony yesterday before the Senate
Lobby Committee that his law firm
had been paid $4,000 by the Asso-
ciated Gas & Electric Co.
Hurley told reporters his connection
with the company had been of legal
nature only and he had done no lobby
ing. He said he was willing to ap-
pear before the committee at any
time to explain his actions.
In every case in which he had been
retained he said he appeared publicly

Issues Formal Statement.
In a formal settlement. issued In
the third person, he added;
''Mr. Hurley said he had represent
ed the Associated Gas g. Electric Co.
and its upward of 100000 investors
before the Fletcher-Pecora Banking
Committee investigation of the Senate
in 1888.
AT that hearing Mr.. Hurley did not
represent Mr.. H. c. Hopson nor any
OF his privately operated companies.
Mr.. Corbin of Gov. Miller's firm in
New York appeared as Mr.. Hopson's S
attorney at that time
THE question involved at that time
was whether or not the Associated
Gas & Electric Co. could be legally
compelled to deliver its records to the
Senate investigating committee.
mfr. Hurley held the Senate inves-
tigating committee had legal right
to the records and did produce them
for the committee.
Appeared Before F. T. C.
'Mr. Hurley did appear before the
Federal Trade Commission as attor-
ney for the Associated Gas & Electric
Co. and its investors. He did not
appear at that hearing for Mr.. Hop
son or any of the privately operated
companies Of Mr. Hopson's.
THE next matter in which Mr..
Hurley was retained was when the
Associated Gas & Electric Co. and
its investors were denied a hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee of the House of Representa-
tiveS.
"Mr. Hurley held that the investors
and the officials of the company had
q right to appear and secured per-
mission for their appearance. He did
not make any statement for or against
the utilities bill at that hearing or
privately to any member of the Sen
ate or House of Representatives. He
merely secured the right for the in
vestor to be heard. Mr.. Hurley said
that he did not represent Mr.. Hopson
or any of his privately owned COM
panies in that matter"
The former Secretary added that he
thought the Wheeler -Rayburn utilities
bill unconstitutional.

BERLIN, July 31.-The German
government today faced a serious
threat to its much publicized national
unity" in a wide popular dissatisfac-
ton against price increases.
This spread Of dissatisfaction was
seen as NaZi radicals and moderates
maneuvered behind the scenes to gain
the upper hand concerning the de-
termination of policy as to how severe
shall be the Nazi drive against "politi-
cal Catholicism" ''reactionary" World
War veterans and other state
enemies" Authoritative sources were
unwilling TO predict which faction
would gain control.
A large part of the population ap-
pears disgruntled concerning the es-
sential increase in the cost of living.
Private individuals claim it has gone
up 80 per cent. Official announce
ments claim prices are only slightly
higher"
Statistics of the Institute for Busi-
ness Research reveal prices Of farm
products have increased from the
index figure of 8s.7 in 1888 to 1lO.3
in 1885.
The prices of meat and meat con-
sumption furnish a striking example.
These prices average 40 per cent
higher than six months ago, partly on
account Of smaller imports and partly
because of the fact that considerable
quantities of fresh meat are needed in
order to permit the troops to substitute
the fresh product for canned meat,
which latter now Is thrown on the
market.

he had turned summons for Hop

piled:
II can't blame the committee for
that. If he's gone where he can't

The committee directed McKeown
TO get in touch with Garrett Brum-
