Admits $23s, 900, 900 Grant
Made for Ships Without
His Approval.
NYE PLANS TO CALL
HENRY L. ROOSEVELT
Assistant Secretary Will Be Asked
to Explain Evidence
on Ship Yards.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALLEGATION of s23S, 100000 of public
works funds to the Navy for warship
construction was declared today by
Secretary Ickes, P. W. A. admins
traitor, to have been done by executive
order without his express approval.
Appearing before the Senate Num-
tons Committee to explain why such
a sum had been awarded, he said that
naval construction was providing less
immediate employment than many
other" types of work financed by the
s3,300o0O,00o P. w. A. fund set up
by Congress in 1888.
IF the matter had been left ex-
clusively to you to choose would you
have allocated s23s,OOO,Ooo to the
Navy?" asked Chairman Nye (Repub-
lican), North Dakota.
Seeks to Parry Question.
"I don't think I should be asked
to answer that question:" Ickes
parried.
You have already testified that
you found other types Of expenditure
afforded quicker employment" Nye
said.
YES" the Interior Secretary said.
"I have"
Before the hearing today began Nye
said the committee expected to go
into the reason for continuing public
works allotments to the Navy when
it was known the money could not be
used fully for three or four years.
Nye to Call H. L. Roosevelt.
"The public works expenditures we're
for immediate application for reliev-
ing unemployment" Nye said.
Nye said earlier he would ask sew
eral officers of the Navy Department,
including Assistant SECRETARY Henry
L. Roosevelt, to explain evidence about
shipyards.
This evidence, committee members
contend, showed yards knew in ad-
vance which ones would receive GER
tain building contracts from the Gov
ernment.
Both Nye and Senator Clark. Dem
ocrat, of Missouri, described the Navy
as "a party to" collusive practices.
Their assertion was based on the con-
tention the Navy had approved an
arrangement for dividing among the
yards the naval program financed by
an appropriation of S238 100000 pub
lie works funds in 1888.
"Frame-Up" Is Charged.
On completion of Ickes' examination,
william B. Shearer will be called to
the stand. He asked, and was granted
permission to answer story intro
duced earlier that he once threatened
S. w. Wakeman, president of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co., with
death and warned that he would
scandaliZe the whole industry because
he was not paid money he said was
due to him as representative of ship
builders at a 1927 naval conference
and for other services.
"It's a frame-up," he told newspa-
per men.
Upon completion of Ickes testimony
the committee will begin next Mon
day the examination of the Bethlehem
officials, with Charles M. Schwab
called as principal witness. Nye esti-
mated this examination would take a
week or 10 days. after which the naval
officials would be called.
Besides Assistant Secretary Roose-
velt, a distant relative of the Presi-
dent, Nye said the committee would
call Rear Admiral Emory S. Land,
chief Of construction and repair, and
Samuel M. Robinson, chief of engin-
eering.

Great Britain and France
Reach Agreement on
German Problem.
EFFORT TO ELIMINATE
BERLIN IRKS LONDON
Direct Negotiations Pursued With
Russia, Germany and Italy
on Security Proposal.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. February %. Great
Britain today opened negotiations di-
rectly with Russia, Germany and Italy
to determine the next step to be taken
for the general settlement of the IS
sues of European security and arma-
ment.
1t was understood that Great Brit
ain and France had come to an agree
ment on what course to pursue in
view of the recent notes from Ger
many and Russia.
In these notes, Germany said she
needed aviation protection in view of
Russian power and Russia insisted
that Germany should agree to the
proposed Eastern European securities
pact in its entirety.
May Decide Policy.
The negotiations with Berlin and
Moscow are expected to decide the
agenda of talks between those gov
ernments and Sir John Simon, British
foreign secretary. should he go to
those capitals.
1t was understood in government
circles that Great Britain had the
hope Germany would sign military
guarantees with only her eastern
neighboring countries-this act to
serve as a substitute for the Franco
Russian scheme for an eastern pact
upon which Russia insists. Mean
while, Germany would be barred from
the proposed air pact until the issues
of security and armaments should be
settled.
Odds are regarded as slightly in
favor of Germany winning the diplo-
matte contest with Russia because Of
the apparent determination of Great
Britain to make Adolph Hitler's gov
ernment a full-1edged partner in
policing Europe. with full rights of
equality.
Russia. on the other hand, obviously
has irritated the British government
by her unlimited note, limiting that
European arrangements should be
completed without Germany.
Break Would Aid Soviet.
Any hitch, however, in the scheme
to bring Germany into the air alliance
with Great Britain, France, Italy and
Belgium and into the Eastern and
Central European security pacts un-
doubtedly would mean powerful line
up of powers against the Reich. Rus
sia's position in such an event would
be enhanced.
Information from Berlin has con-
vinced British officials that Hitler is
not only ready to join the air alliance,
but is most eager to do so. British
official circles cautiously say that, II
Germany refused to join, new
arrangement" would have to be made.
French official circles insist an al
lance against Germany is already
agreed upon as an alternative.
