Detective Maghan also testified

Brown Denies Charges
Major Ernest w. Brown, super
intendent of police, declared to-
day the accusations of Wilbur
La Roe, jr., chairman of the Dis
trict Parole Board, smacking Of
collusion between policemen and
local bootleggers had been
thoroughly investigated three
months ago and found to be un-
SubStantiated.
Mr.. La Roe'S charges were made
in connection with the story of
why the parole Of Harry Yudele-
Wit, local bootlegger, was revoked.
He repeated the story yesterday
before the House subcommittee
investigating crime in the District.
Yudelevit's parole was revoked,
Mr.. La Roe told the investigators,
because it was discovered he had
associated with another liquor run
ner, named Montgomery" and
had sought the aid of two police
mer in "Montgomery'S" behalf to
get back an automobile and two
trucks which had been seized for
hauling illicit alcohol.
Regarding Mr.. La Roe'S story,
Major Brown said:
'Mr. La Roe came to me about
three months ago with the same
story. I assigned Inspector T.
r. Bean to make an inveStiga-
ti0n. He went into the case
thoroughly, especially from the
angle Of the So-called collision
between the two policemen and
the rum runners.
~ am satisfied that In
Spector Beans investigation
was thorough and complete. He
made q report of his findings,
which amounted to absolutely
no evidence regarding the So
called collision, and turned it
over to the District Attorneys
office"

PATMAN
BONUS BILLS
To GET VOTE
House Rules Group Agrees to
Move; Report Says Payment
Doesn't Boost Debt
International News Service

The House Rules Committee to-
day agreed to give the House a
chance to vote on both the Vinson
and Patman bonus bills, but dead
locked on the question how it
should be done.
There also was a strong posi-.
bility that the Tydings com.
promise bonus bill for payment in
bonds would be given a chance in
the House.
Seen Due Now
Another rules committee meet
ing was to be held in an effort to
heal the breach between hackers
of the Patman initiation bonus bill
backed by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, and the Vinson bill SUP.
ported by the American Legion.
Both sides were seeking an ad-
vantage on the House floor. ~
Asserting the soldiers bonus is
due now, the Ways and Means
Committee, in it's formal report
today declared payment will not
increase the Government obliga.
tionS.
The committee reached it's con.
clusion that the bonus is due
now, although the law provided for
payment in 1945, by comparing
the bonus settlement to that
made with contractors after the
World War.
Items in Report
Arguing that Congress would
never insist upon payment of
interest, the committee calculated
that payment now would not in.
crease the public debt. The re-
port said:
"The value Of the certificates.
totals three and u half billions
Of dollars. There has been
loaned against the certificates
100 million dollars which
makes the remainder to be paid
1900 million dollars. That sum
Of money must be raised
whether you have immediate
cash payment or not.
ION all sides, it is admitted
that the Federal Government,
in fairness and justice, cannot
and will not collect the inter.
est com p Ou n d e d annually
against the veterans on the
loans.
ut will cost practically ST.
OO0,OO0,OOO to cancel interest
accrued and to accrue on these
loans before January l, 1945.
The total of these two items
would be $2,SOO,OOO,OOO. Con.
sidering the interest item in
volved together with the carry
ing charges and the relief
money paid, there would be no
appreciable cost to the Federal
Government"

visions of the retail lumber code
have been deleted.
Senators King CD of Utah and
Hastings (R.) of Delaware joined
in questions revealing support of
the idea put forward by Mr..
williams. Senator Hastings said
that even in going this far, he
had some legal doubts.
Mr.. Williams admitted that
when he was chairman of the
board of the r. J. Reynolds To.
bacco Co. he sought regulation
which would go no further than
to fix minimum wages and max
imum hours, maintain fair work
ing conditions and prohibit child
labor.
Hastings Doubtful
Senator Hastings came back
with this observation:
"It is my own view that this
lS the maximum that ought to
be done by the NRA-that Is to
approve a voluntary cOde-and
I have some doubts as to the
legality Of even that-in an in
duStry in which the minimum
wages and maximum hours are
fixed. Let industry write the
code, to be approved and en-
forced by the Government.
That, in my view, is as far as
we can reasonably co."
Other Senators raised the ques-
tion Of compelling industrial
minorities to go along with Is
or 80 per cent Of industry in a
voluntary code. Mr.. Williams re.
fused to go into the legal tech
nicalities of this but pointed out
that 1t seemed reasonable" for
the small minority to be COM
PEELED to 90 along with the big
majority.

Government activities against
public utilities have caused a los
to investors of $500 million dol
lars since January, 1888, Wendell
l.. Willkie, president Of the Com
monwealth and Southern Corpora
ton, charged today before the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee.
Mr.. Willkie was the first repre-
sentative of the nations large
power groups opposing enactment
of the Rayburn bill which would
abolish holding companies by 1910
He declared:
"The bill will not only cause
further enormous loss to the
American family, but viii rep
resent the greatest backward
step in the history Of power
development"
Cites Roosevelt Letter
He placed in the record a let
ter written by President Roose-
welt in 1925, addressed to the
Alabama Power Company, which
read in part:
81 have recently taken over
the old resort known IS Warm
Springs. We, in this and the
neighboring communities, are
suffering from the usual high
cost and inefficient service Of
small local power plants"
After presenting the Roosevelt
letter, Mr.. Willkie asserted that
the high cost of scattered inde
pendent operating companies had
been the prime reason for the for
nation of interconnected power
units. He said:
ILLUMINATION of the holding
company will destroy the very
instrumentality by which the
use of electricity has been made
more dependable, economical
and efficient"
Billion In Investments
His company, Mr.. Willkie said,
represents investments Of approx
mately one billion dollars for de-
velopment in Michigan, TenneS'
see, Georgia, Alabama and other
States. He declared:
"That money represents the
savings of over 100000 people.
One fairly efficient intercOn-
nected system Of transmission
lines has made possible q steady
reduction in the rates charged
by the operating companies ever
since the corporation was Or
ganiZed."
He concluded that the measure
as drafted places power operating
companies under a new and
extraordinary form Of Federal
bureaucracy"

Shipments Also Drop Below
Output for First Time
Since November.

The week ended June IS, 1895, was
the first since last November In which
either lumber shipments from the
mills or new business booked at the
mills were below production. During
this week shipments were 4 per cent
below output, new business was S
per cent below.
All items were slightly lower than
during the preceding week, but revised
figures will bring them up to at least
an even volume. Total production
gained per cent over that Of the
corresponding week of 1884, shipments
were 20 per cent greater and new
business was 81 per cent heavier than
during the 1884 week.
These comparisons are based upon
telegraphic reports TO the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
from regional associations covering
the operations OF 921 leading hard
wood and softwood mills. In the week
ended June IS these produced 1885,
264,000 feet. shipped las, ,280. 900 feet,

ed orders above production during
the week ended June IS. Total soft
wood orders were per cent below pro-
duction, hardwood orders 8 per cent
above hardwood output. Softwood
shipments were per cent below pro-
duction. All regions but California
redwood and Northern pine reported

week of 1884
Unified orders on June IS, as re-
ported by 1,176 mills, were 944. .765, 900

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS


Operating revenues increased S.
T47,1423 80, or 2.s4So, over 1885. Rev
enue from freight traffic increased
$2,sls,167.4s, or 2.S%, while rev.
enue tons carried increased $3.50
and revenue tons one mile increased
4.22%. Revenue from carriage of
passengers increased $s+9,2;673, or
$685., while passengers carried and
passengers carried one mile increased
s.34T and 7.O6% respectively. The
increase in passenger business is due,
IN part at least, to improved service
aud the more comfortable mode of
transportation afforded in air-eon-
ditioned coaches. Other transporta-
ton revenue from carriage Ct mail
and express and other sources in
creased $47S,73S.12, or S.57%.
The total operating expenses was
$SS.ssT,7s4.1z, an increase of $685.
osS.yI, or $3.50 over 1888. The
total maintenance charges was $3s,-
sz2, 2,7so.s7, an increase of $4,S71,-
770.51, or 13.e49o. The increase in
maintenance of way was $S44,s3S.31,
and IN maintenance of equipment
A026,SjJ.2O, Of which latter $780,
705.o6 was due to increased charges
account of depreciation of equipment
effective July !, 1888, and the re-
nainder to larger expenditures in
the general repair of equipment.
Transportation expenses increased
$3,6T+,o57.44, or $500. The largest
single item Of increase In transport
tstion expenses was for fuel for loco
motives of $2,3sS,7ss.56 caused chief
~ by the increased price due TO ap-
piisation of code regulations under
ehe National Industrial Recovery Act.
INCREASED EXPENSES
In addition to the expense of
handling the increased traffic of the
year, the important factors bearing
on the operating costs of the year
were: increase in cost of fuel due
to increased price approximately
$1,000, 900: increase in prices paid
for materials (conservativsly ssti-
matsd) $1,000, 900; increase in rates
of pay incident to restoration on
JuIy 1, 1884, of 21z% of the 1915
fhsrstofore deducted, $s5o,000; m
creased charges for depreciation of
equipment, $1,630.ooo. beina a total
Of $y,sso,ooo.

3K% of the 1919 deduction in en-
pioyes' compensation that had been
In effect since February /, 1852. On
January 1, 1875, an additional z1z%
was restored and on April 1, 1885,
the full 1919 was restored. 1t is esti-
mated that the increase in expenses
for the year 1855 over 1854 account
Of the restoration of wages to the
foil basic rate will be 81, 100000.
