PRESIDENT SEEKS
TAB ON AGENCIES
Seven Groups Ordered Un'
der Budget Bureau for
Expenditures.

President Roosevelt moved today to
( coordinate the administrative eX-
penses of all the independent emer-
gency agencies Of the Government1Sy
signing an executive order requiring
seven lending agencies to submit to
! the director of the budget estimates
covering future expenditures for ad-
ministrative purposes.
He explained that other agencies
would be covered by similar orders
from to time until all are brought
under the supervision of the Budget
Bureau. In this way the President
himself would be in a better position
to keep records of emergency expendi-
lures as well as Congress.
Seven Agencies Affected.
The seven agencies affected by the
first order are the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, the Home Owners Loan
Corp, the Federal Savings and Loan
| System, the Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corp. the Federal Housing
Administration, the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration and the Federal Farm
/ Mortgage Corp.
These are agencies whose operations
heretofore have not come under the
budget and the accounting act of 1921.
! The agencies are not to incur after
September Is, any obligations for ad-
ministrative expenses not approved
/ by the director of the budget The
budget director is instructed to ap-
! portion funds to each agency on a
monthly basis, subject to modification
in event of budget.
Better Check Provided.
This does not mean that Congress
is to fix the annual appropriations
! and decide how the appropriations
should be spent by each agent, the
President explained, but the new
budgetary system would give Congress
| far better check on all expendi-
lures. The monthly basis of appor-
| tioning funds, it was believed, also
would provide a closer check on the
agency.
Future executive orders. the Presi-
dent said, would affect all independ-
ent agencies not now covered by the
Budget Bureau.

.S|LVERMAN ASKED
S79D,OO0, IS CLAIM
General Motors Man Says
He Wanted That for Deal
on u. S. Contract.
BY JAMES E. CHM.

Norman K. Haig, director of Gov
ernment sales for General Motors. told
the House Military Affairs Committee
today that Joseph Silverman. jr,
large-scale dealer in surplus Army
supplies, expected a commission of
$750.000 for negotiating a proposed
deal to split a $4,000 900 Army motor
contract between the Chevrolet and
Chrysler Motor Cos. without competi-
tive bidding.
Silverman, according to Haig, said
he had to have such a large commits
sion because he had horse to feed"
or, in other words. "a number of peo-
pie to take care or"
Hsig was called to the witness stand
in an effort to she'd further light on
the proposed $4,000, 900 deal, and was
piled with questions by Chairman Nc
Swain and several otner members of
the committee. Frank Speicher, tire
salesman and key witness in the COM
mittee's investigation into War De-
partment contracts, previously had
testified Silverman sought to arrange
the 100000 deal through Haig.
Competitive Basis Endorsed.
Chairman McSwain announced at
the outset OF the hearing that Secre-
tary OF War Dern had indorsed a pro-
posal to sell all surplus Army supplies
in the future to the highest bidder, and
that he would draft bill TO make such
a plan mandatory.
If that had been the law all the
time" he remarked, the Government
would have been saved millions of dol
lars and some unpleasant situations
would have been avoided"
Hsig pictured Silverman as an in
fluential man who knew his way
around Washington" and said that
he had kept him informed of in
stances when General Motors was
written out" of War Department
contracts
Haig also told of four or five con-
ferences he had with Silverman. when
Chairman McSwain asked:
Why die you. a $6,000-a-year man,
think you could get information out
of Silverman What made you think
he was POWERFUL"
by what he said and what others
said he had DONE" the witness re-
piled.
He added that Speicher also had
told him Silverman knew his way
around Washington"
Definition of knowledge.
What do you mean when you say
he knew his way around Washing

refugees seek protection in the city,
saying they have no place else to
turn unless they leave the Reich.
City Officials Take Steps.
Despite a warning issued last week,
the flow apparently persisted in such
proportions that the city officials have
decided to act. The propaganda Office
and the municipal press united July

The manifesto set forth that cas-,

their families would receive health

LONDON. August CP,.-An official

sentations" to Italy July 26 regarding
the recent violent attacks in the
Italian press against Great Britain" 4"
The representations we're made
Through Ambassador Grsndi of Italy
by officials at the foreign Office, and
it was stated he promised to inform
his government of the British atti-
tude.
Since that time, according to the
same source, the British government
has received no reply from Italy.
Macdonald at Helm.
Ramsay Macdonald became acting
prime minister of Great Britain today
on the eve of an expected climax to
the Anglo-Italian controversy over
Ethiopia.
Uneasy over already frayed rela-
tions, the government decided to let
France lake the lead in rext weeks
tri-power talks at Paris. The decision
was reached before Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin departed for a yaca-
ton at X-les- Bains. France.
This decision, however. did not
mean any relaxation of Britain's de-
termination to uphold the sovereign
rights of Ethiopia, especially in view
of the declaration by Anthony Eden,
minister for League affairs, that he
would assume responsibility for put
ting the issue sQuarely before the
League OF Nations Council September
if the forthcoming tri-power con-
ferences failed.
In Touch With Eden.
Although Macdonald, former prime
minister and now lord president of
the council. became nominal head of
the government, Baldwin was ex-
pected to maintain private contact
with Eden while both are in France
next week
Baldwin left his duties here. repre-
sented as still hopeful that war be-
tween Italy and Ethiopia might be
averted. but not too optimistic over
the situation.
Macdonald, taking over the leader
ship Immediately after Baldwin's de-
parture, served notice through the
National Labor publication that Il am
still in the fight for peace.
