Judge T. Weber Wilson, it de-
veloped today.
Judge Wilson told the inveSti.
gators that Ernst, defending one
Leonard Macintosh, who was &C.
cuSed of taking Government lum.
Der and cement in the island,
had threatened to put him on
the spot in the press" unless he
granted new hearing for his
client.
Judge Wilson did not explain
how Ernst would have gone about
putting him on the spot" but
the inference was that as counsel
for the American Newspaper
Guild, Ernst was in position to
WELD great influence in the press.
Way <ASA GApA~A0t4OA
The committee did not pursue
the questioning along this line,
but Ernst probably will be called
to explain his connection with it.
Charges that Judge Wilson per
jured himself in testimony before
the special Senate committee in
veStigation of the administration
Of Gov. Paul Pearson, were made
today by Ernst.
Ernst said that Wilson'S testi.
mony regarding the Leonard Mac.
Intosh case was half truths and
actual fabrications. Macintosh
former PWA accountant for the
islands, was fined 5000 by Judge
Wilson after he pleaded guilty to
charges Of theft of $74 worth Of
Government supplies to build a
house.
Wilson testified that after he
pronounced sentence on Macin'
tosh, DR.. Ernst Gruening, head Of
the Territorial and Island Affairs

Ernst warned him that the sen
tence would cost him his job.

BAsLE, Switzerland, July 8.
Tipsy-turvey repercussions upon
the currency of the world may
force the big powers to throttle
Premier MusSolini's invasion of
Ethiopia. Trade slumpS plus
Italy's failure to meet the cost Of
the African campaign will add to
world depression and the eco
nomic strain on the United
States, England, France, Ger
many and Japan will hur1 the
world into a new anarchy.
These views are expressed by
members of the board of the
Bank for international Settle
mentS as they convened here for
their monthly meeting.

tagu Norman, governor of the
Bank of England-feel that de-

log Briand peace pact will re-
bound upon the stability Of the
United States, England and
France, with such violence that
all business recovery measures
will be ruined.
The Italian members of the
board, DR.. Vincenzo Azzolini and
Prof. Alberto Beneduce, were re-
served and left Basic early, ap-
parently without giving their col
leagues any information as to how
Italy would finance her Ethiopian
policy. One prominent world
banker said:
This Ethiopian problem is
bad from every point of view.
Even if Italy should succeed in
cOnquering Ethiopia it would
take a. long time and even
then how can she turn any of
her cOnqueSts into cash quickly
enough to meet the bill?"
Netherlands Balks
A third banker pointed out that
few months ago Italy'S none
tary straits had been so dire that
she had established strict SyS-
tenn Of import control similar to
Germany'S, yet now she was I'M
porting war supplies from every
where. Italy, he said, has already
taken such extraordinary meas
ures as mobiliZing private citi-
zens' holdings of foreign stocks
and bonds and withdrawing all
silver coin. Such measures usually
are necessary only toward the
end of a war.
The fact that one countryside
MISUNDERSTANDING has become
sufficiently doubtful of Italy'S
ability to pay for her imports that
she has established a clearing ar.
rangement with Italy to insure
payment seems to have made a
strong impression on the bankers

HOOVER ASSA|LS
EASY PAROLE

ATLANTIC CITY, July 9 G.N.s.)
Paroling of dangerous criminals
approaches a national scandal,
J. Edgar Hoover, head Of the
famed Bureau of Investigation Of
the Department of Justice, today
told the nations assembled police
chiefs here. He observed:
ut seems incOnceivabIe that
the people of America should be
taxed millions upon millions Of
dollars which they must an
nually pay for police, State con.
stabuIaries, Federal enforcement
bureaus, courts, penal institu.
tionS and the like, only to have
this expense become a mOckery.
ut seems impossible that in
an enlightened nation brave of.
ficers should be asked to face
desperate criminals, to endure
danger, injury, and even loss Of
life, that those criminals be cap
tured, only to see them turned
loose to again resume their
predatory careers.
"It seems unjust that the
brave men of the Federal Blu
reau of Investigation must face
their daily dangers, giving loyal
ly of their years and sometimes
of their life blood, unprotected
by insurance, retirement pay or
adequate pensions for their
widows If they fall on the field
of battle. while throughout
America millions of dollars are
being squandered because Of ILL

Mr.. Hoover denounced "the sob

and the "fuss-budget busy body
who spends his or her time fo1
purposes of Self-aggrandisement
and a name as a philanthropist, ir
reducing the already too short sen
fences" of hardened criminals

Denouncing "the foul rats" anc
"hodv SnatcherS and "SOh-SiSte]

Mr.. Hoover demanded a separa
ton of crime and politics.

Hoover declared the average muir

Leaders Hope to Kill Drastic
Amendments; Free Hand
Under Compromise
International News Service


Legislation extending the iva
moved toward passage in the
House today with Administration
leaders hopeful that drastic limita.
tions on Federal power operations
would be rejected.
A series of amendments de.
signed to give the IVA virtually
free hand in carrying on its con-
Struction, power, navigation, and
flood-control program will be Of
fered by Representative Hill of
Alabama, ranking Democrat of the
Military Affairs Committee.
Group DeadIOcked
While the Senate passed the Ad.
ministration bill embodying Repre-.
sentative Hills proposals, IVA
foes deadlocked the House COM
mittee against approval of the
measure. The committee finally
reported a compromise program
which would require the IVA to
operate under the same conditions
as are imposed on private utilities.
House leaders, anxious to sup.
port the President after his over
whelming defeat on the holding
company death sentence" said
little opposition to the IVA pre-
vailed among the general member
ship. They indicated the matter
was purely a committee fight"
Urges Presidents Aid
Urging the House to stand by
the President, Representative Hill
said the present Administration
was the only one in IL years to
attempt to salvage the costly war
time Muscle Shoals power project.
Representative May CD of Ken
lucky, who led the opposition
within the committee against the
Administrations power program,
announced he would resist every
move to make the bill less drastic,
asserting:
"The only good bill affecting
the iva would be one that calls
for its liquidation"

THE HAGUE, July 9 GN.S),
Negotiations for peaceful settle

The conference broke up, it

Italians would consent only to
discussion of the causes Of the
clash at Wal Wal.

Collapse of the negotiations may
be taken by italy as the signal to

However, Reuters said, it is most
unlikely that Italy would operate
against a modified Ethiopian
army Of nearly one million with

Italy has only about 100000 men
