HOLDING COMPANY
BATTLE RENEWED
Byrns Expects Break in
Deadlock Following Talk
With Leaders.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Administration leaders today con-
tinued efforts to end committee
deadlock which Is blocking House ac-
tion on the bill to abolish "unneces-
sary" public utility holding companies,
a measure already approved by the
Senate.
The legislation has been tied up in
the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee for nearly four months. Its
passage by the Senate this week has
not spurred the committee to action,
as some advocates of the measure had
hoped 1t might. Speaker Byrns and
Charles H. West, White House con-
tact man, conferred with a number OF
committee members yesterday and
Byrns said afterward he expected
something to be reported out soon.
Statement Is Issued.
While Representative Rayburn
Democrat, of Texas, chairman of the
committee and coauthor of the hold
ing company bill, also predicted early
action, Representative Petteng:ll, Dem
ocrat, OF Indiana issued a statement
declaring "the death sentence" in the
measure as it was approved by the
Senate is unnecessary and unconstitu-
tional.
1T Is deflationary of values" tht
statement added. 1T is destructive oi
recovery. 1t will freeze uncertainty.
IF the Senate bill becomes law II
will receive another devastating re.
buke from the Supreme Court. Al

major objectives of the party in power
do not want that to happen"
Pettengill is a member of a six-mar
subcommittee appointed to handle tht
bills provision for abolishing, by Jan

is essential. The subcommittee is di
vided. TO 3, as to whether this fea-
ture should be retained in the legisla-

Reports Are Denied.
Chairman O'Connor Of the House
Rules Committee yesterday denied re-
ports that consideration was being
given to the use of drastic tactics by
his committee TO get the bill before
the House There had been some talk
that the Rules Committee might re-
port out a special resolution making
it in order to consider any bill. whether
or not it had been approved by an
other committee.

was the desire on the part of the
orchestra leaders to bring in several
musicians from other cities to fill out
the ensemble for the Summer concerts.
Federal aid had been promised by the
Federal Emergency Relief Administra-
ton which proposed to make a grant
sufficient to pay 50-man orchestra,
provided the Washington Symphony
Orchestra succeeded in hiring 25 addi-
tional musicians.
When the orchestra campaigned for
100000 sustaining fund this year. the
series of Summer concerts was an
nounced as a part of plan to enlarge
the scope of the orchestra. Only
about $66, 900 was subscribed, however.
and the association turned to Admin
istrator Harry L. Hopkins for funds
to pay for the series.
Promises were forthcoming under
the new work relief program but the
plans are so immature and so vague"
as vet. that hope for financial aid
from the Government for this Summer
has been abandoned.
of nine weeks. as planned. the Or
chestra needed several musicians to
take the places of those who had re-
signed to accept more lucrative posi-
tons elsewhere. Those needed. Mr..
Cappel said, included a baSSoon play
er, an oboe player, a first f1utist and
several other musicians out Of the
ordinary. These musicians. Mr. Cap
pei claimed, could not be secured
among male musicians in Washing
ton.
When the orchestra association pro-
posed to hire out-of-town musicians
to fill these needed places, the local
union protested. They demanded
that local musicians be used or that
local musicians eligible for the posts
be paid as well as the outside per-
formers.
Another cause Of friction was the
intention of the orchestra leaders to
90 outside also to engage an assistant
concert maestro.
The musicians union also is de-
manding, it was said, that one or
more musicians previously discharged
from the orchestra be reinstated.
The orchestra troubles were sched-
uled to come up before the union
yesterday for consideration. This
meeting was postponed, however. be-
cause the officers are attending a
convention outside of washington.
Tomorrows course of the directors
may determine the future fate of

is possible that the question of taking
in woman musicians may be considered.
1t has been the policy heretofore to
engage only male musicians, although
the feminine talent in Washington is
considered by many to afford highly
artistic material for any orchestra.
The situation must be determined
definitely, Mr. Cappel feels. If the
orchestra is to survive. Additional
musicians will have to be engaged

approached him and asked If he could
procure a man to kill her husband.
He said he went to Washington
and returned to Rockville with
Boland, the gambler. who already
has been tried in the conspiracy.
Boland had asked for a hearing be-
fore the judges.
With Boland. Carnen said. he went
to Mrs. Lyddane's apartment. While

overheard details of a converse ton

Prior to this. Carnell said. Mrs.
Lyddane came to him about December

killed. He said he went to Washing

Thomas, introducing him to Mrs.
Lyddane at the tavern where CARMEL

Thomas conferred in a room at the

Then, the witness testified, Mrs.
Lyddane brought him an envelope
containing 5000, of which he kept $50,
and $3.50 was turned over to Boland.
Several days later, Carnell said, Mrs
Lyddane brought him a note for
Boland. He hid it in his room until
he could see Boland.
The State contends this note was
an urgent appeal from Mrs. Lyddane

NEW BONUS BILL
NON-|NFLAT|ONARY
Senate Measure for Next
Session Offered by Byrnes
and SteiWer.

Shortly after Democratic leaders o1
the Senate had decided yesterday to
make the soldier bonus question spe-
cial order of business at the next
session in January, a new non-inf1a-
tionary cash payment plan was put
forward for consideration at that
time. 1t was introduced by Senators
ByrneS, Democrat OF South Carolina,
and Steiwer, Republican of Oregon.
Byrnes and Steiwer said they would
not ask for action on their proposal
until January. The Democratic SEN
ator, who has opposed the administra-
ton on bonus legislation throughout
the session, forecast that a quick vote
would be reached then.
Republicans May Join.
Steiwer's participation in the in
PRODUCTION of the new proposal was
taken by some as an indication that
Republicans would join in the Demo
and speed adjournment.
Under the Byrnes-Steiwer proposal
veterans would get at least 96 per cent
of the full cash value Of their GER
tificates if the bill were passed today,
or at least 81 per cent if it should be
passed in January.
The maturity date Of the certificates
would be advanced from 1e45 to 1898
on the theory that they should have
been dated from the Armistice instead
of 1925. Veterans holding their GER
tifcates until November IL. 1888
would get the full face value. There
would be small discount for advance
payment ahead Of that time.
Payment Provision.
Instead of financing the $2,000,0 ,00o,-
900 cost through a new currency issue
as in the Patman bill passed by Con-
greSs and vetoed by President Roose-
Velt this session, the ByrneS-Steiwel
proposal would pay the certificates out
Of the Treasury through orthodox
financing methods. The President
would be authorized to use the s4,-

The Democratic decision yesterday
and the joint introduction of the new
pian BY Steiwer and Byrnes was be-
lieved BY veteran Senators to sounc
the death knell of any possibility OF
bonus action at this session.
The Democrats agreed that they
would vote to table any bonus pro-
posal offered as rider to another bill
between now and adjournment.

MARYLAND P. w. A.
DIRECTOR RESIGNS
Mackall Predicts W. P. A. Fail

Program Cited.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, August 7.-An as
sertion that the new Federal Works
Progress administration promises to
be really more unsatisfactory than
the original c. w. A. program" was
made by John N. Mackall in resigning
as Maryland director of the P. w. A.
A letter of resignation, addressed to
Harry L. Hopkins, P. W. A. admins
traitor, gave this opinion as one reason
for the resignation. Another reason
was listed as failure of the P. w. A. to
approve a works program Mackau out
lined for Baltimore.
The resignation was first sent to
Hopkins June 49, A'telegram was re-
ceived today from the P. w. A. ad-
ministrator accepting 1t.
The Baltimore program involved
was said by persons outside Mackall's
Office to have been disapproved be-
cause it failed to come entirely under
the P. w. A. or the Public Works
Administration requirements. Included
in its projects were the widening Of
Fayette street, the construction OF a
new water. tunnel from Lock Raven
to the city and work on the sewage
plant at Back River.
The programs total cost would have
been approximately $35, 100000.

and the tom-toms are all acquainting
the forces of Africa and Asia that the
last independent African empire is
by way of becoming subjugated by a
white country. And despite the al
legged efforts of the League of Ma
tions to prevent such an aggression
the cards are stacked against the
Ethiopians AS an example of the
white mans dishonesty" it is
brought out that all the manufactur-
ing countries have placed an informal
embargo on arms and ammunitions
to Ethiopia while Italy continues to
have q free field.
The race OF death in the air is
now in full swing. The order books
of the British aircraft companies are
heavily loaded with continental
orders for fighting and bombing
planes. France. Germany. Spain
Belgium, Denmark, Holland and Por-
tugal are all buying British"
The case Of Germany is particularly
interesting. Hitlerland is in serious
financial difficulties. The British
banks. however, have arranged to
stave of German default on debts
due to them by giving Germany cred
its. These are being used to purchase
war materials for the navy and the
air force in British factories.

The case of Mussolini is typical
He claims that there is no room In
Italy for the rapidly growing popula-
ton and consequently 1t Is necessary
that the italian people make the su-
preme sacrifice of waging long and
costly war to conquer Ethiopia. On the
other hand, he penalties his own peo-
pie if they do not get married and
encourages by handsome bonuses
families with many children.
Hitler is another type who deserves
being studied. His actions in the fielo
Of international affairs are logical;
but nobody can understand the rea-
sons of his unrelented persecution OF
religious beliefs.
And so, all along the line down to
Toxic, the psychiatrists intend to
study the principal figures in world
politics in an endeavor to f1no the
causes of their desire to mess up con-
ditionS in the world.
There are ominous signs in Erltrea
which should set Mussolini thinking
before he finally decides to embark
into the tragic adventure against
Ethiopia.
High officials in Washington have
received reliable information that
there has been serious discomfort
among the raw Italian troops sent to
form the shock divisions of the italian
army.
The news which has not been al
lowed to get into the press is not
surprising. The average temperature
in the lowlands is about lS0. The
Italian troops are young, full Of en-
thuSiaSm but not used to the hard
ships of a campaign in a tropical
region. Under these conditions their
enthusiasm is somewhat dampened.
In the Eritrean marshes they are
no longer the h,roes which they have
been in their own home towns before
their departure. The tedious routine
of the camp, the heat and the tropical
diseases are not inspiring elements
which can keep up the enthusiasm
of those youngsters for a long time.

The British are fully aware of the
dangers to the white race which the
1talo Ethiopian discord may cause.
The pending italian attack on Ethiopia
is felt like a challenge TO all the
peoples of the African continent
and IN some sections of Asia, too.
The black people have no natural
unity. They are of many races; their
languages are innumerable: their re-
ligions range from the crudest fetish
worship up to Islam and Christianity.
They have nothing in common with
the Ethiopians except dark skins and
a sense of grievance against the white
man.
