TO COVER Up
Amendments Sought Would

ties," Is Declared
AUDITORS VIEWS OF
ACCOUNTS DISPUTED

WASHINGTON, May "a. (UP)
The Tennessee Valley Authority
was accused yesterday of seeking
to "cover up" alleged irregulari-
ties connected with two of the
dams in its power system through
the IVA amendments now pend
ing in congress.
Rep. Donld H. Mclean, Repn.,
N. j., made the charge during
hearings before the house military
affairs committee on the amend
ments, which grant IVA specific
authority to sell power and in
crease it's bond authorization to a
total of $780,, 100000.
Mclean said that IVA began
construction of the Wheeler and
Pickwick landing dams without
consulting congress.
Despite his charges, Chairman
John ]. McSwain, D., S. c., pre-
dicted the committee would report
the amendments favorably next
week, although by a close margin.
The senate already has approved
them.
The gray haired New Jersey
congressman commended that the
proposed amendments would en-
able IVA to compete with private
utility industries and avoid federal
court injunctions.
Mclean made his assertions
while questioning David E. Lilien.

draft the pending legislation, but
Lilienthal would not admit that
any IVA activities were illegal.
The New Jersey legislator said
the Wheeler and Pickwick landing
dams were wholly illegal"

he said.
Questioned on IVA operations,
Lilienthal said:

the affected area. We wish to en-
able them to sell their properties

COL. WILLIAMS
FOUND GUILTY
Will Appeal Court Martial
Verdict of Guilty Of
Perjury

WASHINGTON, May %. (UP)
Col. Alexander E. Williams, Co.
year-old hero of two wars, was
found guilty by a court martial
yesterday of accepting a loan
from an automobile tube concern,
or perjury before a house COM
mittee, and was ordered dismissed
from the army. ~
The military court acquitted
Williams of a third charge of ac-
cepting a $4,000 loan from an
other company. The findings of
the army group were made public
after a three day trial which was
conducted so secretly that for "a
hours the name of the officer in
volved could not be learned.
The verdict resulted from one
of the most extensive investiga-
tions ever made of the war de-
partment by a special house COM
mittee, department of justice
agents and high army officials.
A federal grand jury here spent
weeks inquiring into reports of al
legged irregularities in purchases
made by the war department. A
subcommittee of the house mill
tary affairs held lengthy hearings
which ended in a rebuke for one
officer and a demand that Brig
Gen, BENJAMIN Foulois be re-
moved as head of the army air
corps.
Williams is attached to the
quartermaster corps. The state
ment issued by the war depart
ment on the action of the court
martial said in part: a.
1.-THE specific allegations OF
which Colonel Williams was found
guilt, were the soliciting and OBJ
tanning of a loan of $4,000, while
he was a brigadier general and as
sistant to the quartermaster gen
eral in charge of the transporta-
ton division of the quartermaster
generals office in November 1888,
from the representative of an au-
tomobile tube concern whom ne
knew was attempting to favorably
interest him in this tube in order
to secure war department con-
tracts and also of giving false tes-
timony, by denying the loans, be-
fore the subcommittee number

NEW March ON
CAPITAL WILL
ADD PRESSURE
House Loath to Act Until
Administration Is
More Lenient
WOULD FIND SCHEME
SUITABLE TO SENATE

WASHINGTON, May "a. (UP)
The threat of new bonus march
on Washington was coupled today
with drive by bonus advocates
to enact measure which might
escape death blow like that the
senate dealt the Patman measure
yesterday b va vote of Sd to 40,
sustaining the Presidents veto.
Half a dozen new bonus pro-
posals sprang up in the house To-
day but none of them is likely to
be enacted unless the administra-
ton relents from the stern atti-
tude which crushed the Patman
bill.
! Plans for a new march on Wash
! ington were revealed at Los An
geles by R. W. Robertson, veteran
who led the death march" around
| the capitol in 1881 when the SEN
ate voted down a cash bonus.
Robertson said more than 1000
veterans would start from Cali
fornia, picking up recruits along
the way. Women and children will
be left behind this time, Robert
son said, as 1--WE mean business

WASHINGTON, May "a. (UP)
When the senate killed the Pat
man bonus bill yesterday there
died with it the possibility that
the United States in the near fu-
ture will print "greenbacks" 70
pay its debts.
President Roosevelt's veto Of
the. $2,200,000,00O measure was
sustained by a tight little minor
ity that stood mistaken by politi-
cal pleas and thrests.
Forty senators-nine more than
necessary-supported Mr.. Roose-
welt. The bonus bloc gathered 81
votes, but could not get enough
for the two-thirds majority need
ed to pass the bill over the Presi-
dents veto.
Wednesday the house overrode
the veto, 322 to SO, half an hour
after Mr.. Roosevelt had appeared
before it to- denounce the Patman
bills currency provision.
Political parties meant nothing
in the struggle yesterday. Forty
one Democrats voted to override
their President, and they were
joined by II Republicans, one
Farmer-Laborite and one Progress
sive. Twenty eight Democrats
voted to sustain Mr.. Roosevelt.
and IL Republicans Joined them.
It may be only a temporary vic
story for Mr.. Roosevelt and all
those who believe that the bonus
should not be paid until it is le-
gally due-in 1945.
Before the last echo of the roll
call died, the veterans bloc took
the offensive again in an attempt
to put bonus legislation through
congress.
Sen. Bennett C. Clark, rosy
faced, tubby Missourian who is
veteran of the World war himself,
said he would offer today another
bill. 1t calls for immediate pay
ment of the bonus. but gives Mr..
Roosevelt and the treasury the OPP
ton of paying it in three ways:
l.. BY printing "greenbacks" the
identical procedure provided Tor
in the Patman bill.
2. BY appropriating the money

American people.

LOOMS AGAIN
IN BRITAIN

LONDON, July 2 U.N.S0.-Rad.
ical changes in European align
ments resulting from the Anglo
German naval treaty and Italy's
designs on Abyssinia caused grave
concern in official British quar-
tiers today, where talk was already
heard of possible changes IN Pre-.
mier Stanley Baldwin's month-old
cabinet.
On top of Premier Mussolini'S
flat rejection of Britain'S CON-
promise plan on Abyssinia, it was
learned that France, piqued over
the German naval pact, has
warned Britain not to expect
French cooperation in any move
against Italy at Geneva.
Cabinet Weighs Situation
The cabinet will take up the
situation tomorrow.
Premier Laval of France has in
formed Britain, through young
Capt. Anthony Eden, that France
will consent to an Italian protec-
torate over Abyssinia.
Mussolini had previously com
municated to Laval that Italy
sought the protectorate by peace
full means, if possible, but if war
in October is inevitable, even the
name of Abyssinia would dlsap-
pear" .
designations Loom
Revealing his failure on his first
mission as cabinet member,
Captain Eden told the House Of
Commons yesterday that Mus
solini rejected the idea of Britain's
conceding a corridor" to the sea
for Abyssinia as the basis for an
amicable settlement.
Some parliamentary cir Giles
sharply criticized Eden for offer
ing a slice of British colonial ter
ritory, and House corridors hum
med with attacks on Britain's at
tachment to the League Of Ma
lions which, it was said, is en-
dangering her relations with Italy
and France.
Sharp clashes of opinion were
already reported among cabinet
ministers, with possible breaches
that may bring some designations.
