Political pressure was strong on the
other side of the aisle. In fact, 1t
was so strong that Huey quietly re-
leased a few of his own Democratic
friends. His move was lost anyway.
There was no need to cause them
embarrassment by requiring them to
vote with him. Two absented them
selves, two others voted against him
and one, who had publicly announced
his support of Huey, also voted against
him.
This probably will save them from
the wrath of the Farley regime in
matters of patronage, etc.
Cotton Tax Data Sought.
President Roosevelt's Special Cabi-
net Committee is trying to find out
how much the cotton processing tax
costs consumers. A. A. A.-ers point
to the fact that the tax is but AZ
cents per pound of cotton and con-
tend it is negligible as price factor
in a cotton shirt. Textile men have
different view. They say it is not
so much the tax as the mark-ups as
cloth passes through various processes.
The only real data were dug up by
the Federal Trade Commission some
time ago. They indicate the process
ing tax adds about 10 per cent to
the cost of cotton goods. In other
words. a 81 shirt will cost $1.10, due
to the tax.
Auto production for this month has
been ruined by the strike. The out

LONG DECLARES
PRESIDENT ALLY
Quotes Campaign Speech
in Branding Critics of
"Share Wealth" Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

DJ tiic 7SSoSideco AcsS.
Claiming President Roosevelt as en-
ally in his "share-the-w wealth" pro-
gram, Senator Long of Louisiana yes
terday gave new and more drastic
outline of his platform as a part of
a new attack on Postmaster General
Farley.
Mr.. Roosevelt, Long said, first used
the share-the- wealth slogan in his
acceptance speech at Chicago. The
LouiSianan quoted the President as
promising to seek for the forgotten
man and woman" a more equitable
opportunity to share in the distribu-
ton of the national wealth"
On this grounds, Long called "dis-
loyal Senators Robinson Of Arkansas,
Bailey of North Carolina and Barkley
of Kentucky, for their recent criticism
of his "share-the-wealth" program.
Sweeping Probe Asked.
Undismayed by Tuesdays 62-to-20
Senate refusal to investigate Farleys
official conduct, Long yesterday de-
manded In a new resolution an in
quiry into all Government building
and construction contracts and the
"acts of officers of the United States
relating to them.
Longs resolution would have the
Senate Judiciary Committee inquire
into such firms as James Stewart &
Co. of New York, which, he has said
repeatedly, has been the recipient OF
favored treatment in award Of public
works contracts.
The resolution was referred to the
Judiciary Committee. which would be
authorized under its terms to inquire
into all awards. Long repeatedly has
charged that Farley Influenced award
ing of P. w. A. contracts to. COM
panies with which he was friendly
or formerly affiliated.
Would Limit Fortunes.
The new share the wealth" plan,
more drastic than proposals first ad-
vanced in the Senate by the Louisi-
anan, had three points:
/. Guarantee that no man may pos
sess more than 100 to 200 times the
average family wealth. He estimated
this would limit fortunes to from
81 SOC, 900 to s3.000000
2. A guaranteed homestead to every
family of not less than one-third the
average family wealth. Long estimat-
ed this would provide homestead of
from 5000 to $4,000 for every family
and provide them with those things
necessary for respectable comfort
3. Provide that the income of every
family shall not be less than one-third
the average family income for a given
year, nor more than 100 times the
average. He estimated this would pro-
vide minimum of $4,000.

U. S. SLUM PROGRAM
AT STAKE IN COURT
Government Appeals From Rul-

to Condemn Land.
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, May 16.-The Gov
ernments vast slum elimination pro-
gram, in which s160.000, 900 has been
allotted for so projects in as many
cities, was at stake today before the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peais.
The question at issue is: Does the
Government have authority to con-
demn lands for public housing
projects?
United States District Judge Charles
I. Dawson of Louisville held it does
not in decision against a $500, ,000
project in the Kentucky city.
The Government appealed first to
the United States Supreme Court, but
Solicitor General James c. Biggs had
the appeal transferred to the court
here.
He asked an early hearing, he said
because delay would create a chaotic
condition in the carrying out of the
entire program Of the Federal emer-
gency administrator of public works.

TiPs
kv the NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL

BOOZE TAKES THE WHEEL.
The American people have okeh'd
liquor, saying In effect: Drink II you
want to-" But the trouble is many
drivers take it IS command instead
of an optional privilege.
Police reports show that in Amer
lean cities during the first year fol-
lowing repeal drunken driving ac-
cidents increased quite generally
throughout the country and that
liquor is involved in from 2 to 10 per
cent of all traffic accidents today.
Now that's an indictment which
can't be laughed of as just another
quaint outlet for the exuberance OF
the drinking gent.
Alcohol inspires a false sense OF
confidence and security. After few
shots the drinking driver becomes, In
his befuddled estimation, the perfect
pilot. So away he goes, hell-bent on
wheels!
Unbiased medical authorities tell us
that q man Is not sober just because
he can walk and talk. Alcohol starts
at the top of the mind and hits judg-
ment FIRST. And certainly II ever a
man needs Judgment 1t is when he

WORK GOAL URGED
FOR SECURITY BILL
Business Advisory Council
Wants Incentive Provided
for Employers.

A report expressing "every SYM
pathy" for the objectives of the Pres
ident's social security program. but
asking changes to stimulate employers
to provide steady work, was mace pub
lie today by the so major industrial
executives comprising the admrnistra-
tions Business Advisory Council.
Meanwhile, the Senate Finance
Committee modified the administra-
ton social security bill to permit in
dividual company reserves for unem-
ployment insurance. as in the Wis
consin plan, but failed to reach 9
final vote on the big economic pro-
lection program.
The House bill required Statewide
pools for unemployment insurance.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, Of
Wisconsin offered the amendment tc
permit company reserves. arguing thai
otherwise the Wisconsin laws and
others now in effect would be invalid
Aid Provided for Blind.
President Roosevelt's Economic Sc
curity Commission recommended the
Statewide pooling system as afford
ing greater protection to the worker
1t argued that company reserves would
not protect workers in industries
where employment was irregular.
The Finance Committee also ex-
panded the social security program tc
include protection for the needy
blind. An amendment was adopted
adding a new section, setting up q
Federal aid system for the blind on
the same basis as the plan for aiding
the aged
The Federal Government would
match State benefits up to SIS q
month to each needy blind person.
Chairman Harrison said he hoped
to get final vote on the bill TO-
morrow.
Sees Incentive Lacking.
The Advisory Councils attitude on
unemployment insurance was sum-
married in the following paragraph:
I'VE have every sympathy for the
objectives expressed by the President
concerning greater social security and
removal Of fear of unemployment
from the workers mind and are In
hearty agreement with the statement
of the Advisory Council on Economic
Security that the plan should serve
as an incentive to employers to pro-
vide steady work and to prevent un-
employment The bill before Con-
gress offers no such incentive"
The plan under which individual
industries would be permitted to work
cut their own plans for old-age bene-
fits and unemployment insurance was
placed before the Finance Committee
by Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia.
There are two separate old-age
benefit plans in the House bill and
Senator George emphasized his sub
stitute Is intended to take the place
only Of the old-age pension as applied
to industries, without disturbing the
other general old-age annuity pro-
gram.
Although industries would be al
lowed to build up their own social
security plans under the George bill,
such plans would have to meet stand
ards to be laid down by the Social Sc
curity Board.

CUMMINGS SCORES
THEFTS OF ARMS.
National Guard Armories'
Accessibility to Gang
men DepIored.
BY REX COLLIER

Attorney General Cummings today
described as extremely distressing"
conditions which enable underworld
gangs to arm themselves with mill
tary guns stolen from National Guard
armories.
1T is perfectly absurd" he declared
with emphasis, that while our men
are endeavoring to deprive the under
world of illegal firearms the gang
sters are getting more guns from mill
tary sources"
He referred to recent figures COM
piled by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, showing that 164 robberies
Of National Guard armories have oc-
CURED since January /, 1888, and said
that these robberies are still taking
place.
Not Under u. s. Control.
The armories, he pointed out, are
not under Federal control. They are
under Jurisdiction of the Governors
of the States. j. Edgar Hoover, direc-
tor Of investigation, announced re-
Gently that many of the armories are
OF fimsy construction and otherwise
unsuitable for storage of military
weapons
Cummings said the Department of
justice has made strong representa-
tions to responsible authorities in an
effort to secure better protection for
these guns, but that little has been
done of remedial nature. The War
Department advised the Justice Of
ficials some time ago that it has no
supervision over National Guard arm
ories. The guns stored in the arm
ories, however, are Federal property.
Army Guns Faced.
Special agents Of the bureau from
time to time have had to face guns
which belong to the Army. The Bar
row brothers raided armories in the
Southwest and obtained Browning
automatic rifles which they used in
their shooting affrays. The Karpis-
Barker gang, which kidnapped Edward
G. Bremen Of st. Paul; the Mais-Le-
genza tri-State gang, members of the
Dillinger. gang and other desperate
bands have made a practice of break
ing into armories and stealing guns
and ammunition.
The Department of Justice has ar
rested more than 200 persons in cor
nection with the theft of armory guns
and has convicted 159 of these. More
than 80 cases are pending in the de-
partment.

mine and thereafter he examined
properties in various parts OF the

mine which he inspected in So

York investors who considered pay
ing 100000 cash for that mine.
Mr. Julihn knew all of the fam

days of Butte. including Heinze
whom he met in fisticuffs and
years later the two became warm
friends. Mr.. Julihn has been for
is years in the U. S. B. M. and be-
cause of his knowledge of Montana
conditions he was assigned to rep
resent the director at this meeting.

Danger of contamination of the
