ficiaries Comply.

States, counties. cities or individuals
financed by Government money. will
have to observe N. r. A. wage and
hour provisions. under provisions OF
a bill approved yesterday by the Sen
ate Labor Committee.
The bill, offered by Chairman
Walsh, was a redraft of a measure
which he said was requested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He said the provisions
would apply not only to business trans
acted with the Government. but to
all business of firm financed with
Government money.
New Plan to Be Revealed.
Action of the committee conceded
with statement by Attorney General
Cummings that a uniform system of
providing new codes under the skele-
ton N. r. A. anc Federal Trade Com
mission would be announced soon. !"
While the original bill was limited
in operation to two years, the present
bill is intended, Walsh said, to impose
its restrictions on a permanent basis.
1.-THE bill provides" Walsh said,
that when the Federal Government
makes loans through the r. F. c. and
the Federal Reserve Banks for indus
trial purposes, these conditions of en-
ployment shall be complied with by
the corporation or the individual to
whom loans are granted"
Conditions Linked Up.
Further, he said:
when loans are made to munich
palities. States or the District Of Co
lumbia government agencies, the same
conditions are imposed as are imposed
upon the Federal Government.
Administration was vested in the
President or any agency he delegated.
Penalty was piled on penalty for
violation. Firms paying less than the
N. r. A. level were subject to fines
equal to twice the difference between
the code wages and the wages actually
paid.

Labor Board Argument.

There is some inner jockeying be-
tween Secretary Perkins and Senator
Wagner over naming the chairman
and two other members of the new
National Labor Relations Board.
The President asked Wagner and
Miss Perkins to submit a list of suit
able candidates. Later Miss Perkins
called Wagner and said she had a
list, naming Lloyd K. Garrison, former
chairman, and Harry Mills, former
member, as being on it. These names
were satisfactory to Wagner. Miss
Perkins said she would get in touch
with them.
1t developed later that these two
men haze not been asked to serue,
although the others mentioned by
Miss Perkins were approached.
Wagner, as co-author of the bill, in
sisted on keeping the board outside OF
the Labor Department ove- Miss Per.
kins' protests. She persuaded the
House to her viewpoint with the help
OF Chairman Connery of the House
Labor Committee. but Wagner won.
But in the end, Miss Perkins ap-
pears likely to win a substantial VIC
tory anyway in the naming of the
board members.

WOODCOCK JOINS
LOUISIANA PROBE
Former Prohibition Director
Named to Aid Inquiry
Into Longs Allies.

Col Amos w. w. Woodcock, for
mer prohibition director and now
president of ST. Johns College. An
napolis. has been appointed special
assistant to the Attorney General to
collaborate with former Gov. Dan
Moody of Texas in prosecution OF in
come tax cases brought against a
number OF Senator Longs political
associates in Louisiana.
Col Woodcock has gone to New
Orleans to confer with Moody and
investigators of Elmer Irey's Internal
Revenue Intelligence Unit, who are
collecting evidence in the cases.
One Already Convicted.
One of Senator Longs close friends,
State Representative Joseph Fisher
already has been convicted and SEN
fenced to l8 months in the Federal
penitentiary for income tax violations
Another of Longs associates, Abe
Shushan, is to be tried next.
The date for the Shushan trial has
been postponed several times, giving
rise in New Orleans to rumors that
the Government would not press the
case. The appointment of Woodcock
to aid Moody in this and other pend
ing indictments definitely dispels these
reports.
Long Defies Agents.
Half dozen of Longs allies have
been indicted for evading Federal in
come tax laws, and corps of Irey's
agents under A. D. Burford, agent in
charge of the New Orleans Office, is
continuing investigation of financial
dealings of others prominent in
Louisiana. Senator Long has charged
that the agents are trying to find
something on him and has defied them
to do so.
Treasury officials will neither con-
firm nor deny persistent reports that
Longs affairs are under investigation
but they have made it plain that in
come tax returns OF large number
of persons are being examined fol-
possible law violations
In anticipation of a long series OF
trials in the hot weather of New
Orleans, an air-conditioning system is
being installed in the Federal court
house there This would indicate that
the trial of Shushan is expected to
begin before the end of sultry days in
New Orleans.

charitable contributions, individuals
may next be forbidden to do the same
thing if they seek to buy good will" :"
The blow which MIR. Roosevelt has
struck at private charity is almost an
other death sentence" because it will
take away such large proportion of
contributed funds as to imperil private
charitable organizations and force
many social service functions to be
taken over by the Federal Relief Ad-
ministration, which may, after all, be
at the bottom of this mysterious move.
For the relief rolls are expected to
furnish the votes to support the New
Deal candidates.
Here again the political reasoning
seems defective, for it is demonstrable
that local agencies can handle relief
more economically than the bureau
cracy at Washington or its branches
throughout the country, and while the
votes Of the unemployed may be
counted by the New Deal as Gin the
bag" the votes of the employed, who
must pay the taxes to carry all these
new burdens, are something to be
reckoned with.

SILVER TO SHOW TREND
OF CLEVELAND SPENDING
Standard Oil Will Pay in Coin
to Trace Where Peoples
Money Goes.
BY the associated Press.

BY the associated Press.
CLEVELAND, July 26.-In an effort
to answer the age-old question,
Where does all the money go?" the
Standard Oil Co. of Ohio has an
nounced its August l pay roll will be
paid with 10000 silver dollars.
Because dollar coins are a compare
tive rarity in this part of the country,
the special cooperation of the Cleve-
land Federal Reserve Bank was en-
listed in gathering the money. which
will weigh nearly four tons.
To make the test a success, store
managers have been asked to report on
the number of silver dollars they re-
ceive and to name the kind of mer-
chandise purchased.
Evening star., 1935-07-26

The highest authorities now see
possibility that the silver purchase
fund may develop into the worlds
greatest influence for peace. AS they
reason it. our accumulation of gold
and silver may eventually increase our
financial influence to such an extent
that We may be able to direct the
world money structure, on which war
is based. At least, this is what they
tell themselves in their groupings for
valid excuses for the silver policy.
II Duce Buys Ships Here.
An indication that Mussolini is seri-
Gus about his Ethiopian threat is the
fact that he has bought recently 10
vessels in this country aggregating
10000 tons Last year he bought only
three, and the year before he bought
none.
Japan also has been buying ues-
sells here. She purchased fifteen
ships with an aggregate tonnage
of $4,000 this past fiscal year,
Uhich ended the first OF this
month. Last year she bought nine
and the precious year none.
This fact is considered very signif-
cant by our authorities.
These sales have all been approved
by the United States Shipping Board
Bureau. Most of the vessels are over
20 years old and their purchase by
Italy is a neat windfau for American
ship owners.

coils will surely do, are the follow
ing:
II am convinced that formal
membership in this world court
beStowS upon US some sort Of
membership in the League Of
Nations. For the United States
to assume League membership
would be to violate the mandate
of the people of the United
States overwhelmingly expressed.
First of all, the court is a
part of and an inStrumentality
of the League. No European jur-
ist seems to contest this fact,
and indeed all seem to avOw it.
/ could quote, If time allowed, al
most innumerable statements to
this effect. the expressions Of
European statesmen justify the
belief that, in their view, a state
can sign the protocol Of sigma
ture" only by virtue of its being
a member of the League.
STATEMENT QUOTED
81 again quote that statement
made to the legislative branch
of the Dutch government:
Despite all assertions to the
contrary, accession to the court
may actually be considered as
a rapprOachment to the League
Of Nations itself; after all, facts
are facts, they are stronger
and speak more clearly than
speeches, the more SO should
such speeches not be correct"
Mr.. Clark then goes on to dem.
onstrate conclusively that the
league courts jurisdiction is de.
rived from the league covenant,
the organic law of the league. He
shows that the proposed Senate
reservations, conditions and un'
derStandings do not give this
country the necessary protective
guarantees against involvement
with the league.
This involvement, he shows
would give us such an intimate
relation to the League, would
bring us under the duties, respon
SibilitieS, and liabilities of some
of the most onerous and unwiSe
OF the provisions of the League
covenant, and would sufficiently
subordinate our will to the will
OF the League so that in all prac
tical effect we should be members
Of the League"
The IA Senators who are plan
ming this trapdoor plunge of the
American people into the League
OF Nations have not refuted the
of this American jurist
and patriot, because he has the
truth on his side and the truth
i irrefutable.

attempts to tie strings to the four
billion dollars President Roosevelt
wants to distribute himself to pro-

to end Federal handouts.
Strong indications that quite a

Although the American people
are not yet fully aware of the fact,
it is nevertheless a fact that their
head servants at washington are
plunging them into the League
Of Nations evil thing with
a holy name"-through the trap
door of its private court-the
league court.
BY vote of IA to 7 the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations has just
voted to report out the league
court protocols with the recon-
mendation that they be ratified.
With a view to camouflaging
the true goal of this excursion into
the maelstrom of old world quar-
rels, old world politics and old
world political entanglements, the
IA Senators who voted out these
protocols recommend that ratifi-
cation be accompanied by what
they call protective reservations.
Fail To Protect
The trouble with these protec-
tive reservations is that they will
not protect the United States from
any of the dangers involved in
American membership in the
league.
For example, the reservation de-
signed to protect the United States
against advisory opinions of the
League Court in cases where this
country has, or claims, an inter.
est, merely sets forth the sense OF
the United States Senate. It has
no binding effect either upon the
League of Nations or its private
court.
It's chief purpose, if not it's only
effect, is to lull the people of this
country into a false sense OF Sc.
curity, to delude them into be-
lieving that entrance into the
private court of the League in
wolves no entangling association
with the League.
The Senators who voted the
league Court protocols out OF
committee know better than this.

Of habeas corpus. Colonel Fab
nestock retaliated with a suit for
custody, in which he alleged his
wife had lost interest in the chill
dren since becoming infatuated
with a prominent man in Newport.
The court fight opened Wednes-
day before Justice Gordon. The
younger Mrs. FahneStock was the
only witness.
Before cross-examination Of her
was completed, Justice Gordon
abruptly halted the trial and sug-
geSted that the case might be
thrown out of court for lack Of
jurisdiction unless the opposing
parties were able to come to an
agreement.
Following conferences through
out yesterday, the rival parties
brought the agreement into court
early today.
In disposing of the case, Justice
Gordon dismissed the habeaS cor
puS proceedings instituted by Mrs.
FahneStock, permitted her to file
an answer to her husbands Gus
tody suit and based the decree on
the latter litigation.
Her answer to the custody suit
charged that cruelty on the part
of her husband caused the es-
arrangement between them after
they had lived happily from the
time of their marriage in June,
1925, until last August.
She admitted meeting "a certain
man of prominence" in Newport
last summer, but added she also
met other men and that her con-
duct was at all times proper. She
denied asking for a divorce to
marry the "other man.
She stated that while her chill
dren we're in Aiken, during the

to New York to arrange for their
schooling, purchase toys for their

rangement for the divorce suit
