8 PLANES BURN
At BOILING

Hangers, shops and military
planes at Boiling Field, the Army
Air Corps post here, were menacec
by flames today from a blaze
which destroyed the No. 2 hangar
brought injury to a man, wrecked
three airplanes, a gasoline truck
and several automobiles and caused
damage estimated at more than
$4,000.
Three alarms were turned in
before District firemen, aided by
the emergency department at the
field, brought the blaze under con
troll.
Blocked by Cold
The firemen were handicapped
by the cold and by the thick
smoke from the burning gasoline
and oil. Those working inside the
hangar were forced to use gas
masks.
The hangar had been loaned to
the Department of Commerce to
store and service Commerce
planes. The ships destroyed were
those used by Eugene Vidal, di,
rector of air commerce, Rex Mar
tin and other officials of the de.
partment.
The fire started on a plane
used by Mr.. Martin. According to
witnesses, Ernest A. johnson, $500

was working on a radio in the
plane when there was a short
circuit.

VICE DENS'
Tour of Capital "UnderWorId"
To Be Made By House
Investigators

Acting on information pre-.
sented during the last 10 days,
members of a special House sub
committee investigating crime in
Washington, are planning to
make surprise visits to hauntS
of the underworld, it was learned
today.
Representative Jennings Ran
dolph Cd of West Virginia,
chairman of the crime commit
tee, said visits would be made in
those places where first hand in
formation can be obtained regard
ing the criminal elements here.
Night clubs, pool rooms, beer par.
lors and other establishments like
ly to be frequented by members
of the "demimonde" will play
hosts unwittingly to the legisla-
tors.
Visit "IncOgnitO"
The committee will go as q
body, of course, and will make
their visits incognito, the chair
man explained.
Mr.. Randolph also announced
his committee is planning secret
sessions to which only members
and witnesses will be admitted.
While the public has been ex-
cluded from the crime i1avestiga-
ton hearings thus far the press
has been admitted. Newspaper
men, however, will be barred from
the secret sessions to be held
soon. ....
The hearings will be resumed
Friday morning with Inspector
Frank S. w. Burke, chief Of de-
tectiveS, on the witness stand.
A multiplicity of experimental
laws for the District, the testing
laboratory of a theoretical Con-
gress, is likely to be one of the
outstanding results of the in.
quiry in the opinion of local OBJ
servers.
This opinion gains headway
as the committee hearings prog
reSs and members offer various
panaceas for the sNpution of the
crime problem in the National
Capital.
Washington legal groups are
scoffing behind the scene at
many of the suggestions made
by committee members.
Schultz Leads Ideas
The committee member who
at all times is ready to offer
remedies based on the expert.
ence of Chicago police is Repre-
sentative William T. Schultz CD
of Indiana, who lists himself in
the Congressional Directory as
formerly being engaged in the
theatrical profession.
Representative Chauncey w.
Reed CD, of Illinois. is almost
as well-filled with ideas as is the
former member of the theatrical
profession.
With the committee expected to
make e IN m n d a t j o n for
remedial legislation" it appears
at the present time as though sug-
gestions will flood the House bill
room.

The United States today moved
formally to adopt a less friendly
diplomatic attitude toward Soviet
Russia as a result of Moscow's
refusal to settle the American
debt and damage claims on salts
factory terms.
The State Department an.
nounced withdrawal of the Amer.
ican consulate general and air
attaches from Moscow.
The official explanation for re-
ducing the number of American
representatives announced infor-
mally by the State Department
was that recent events had made
it apparent that there would be
less activity for American diplo-
matte representatives in Moscow.
It was admitted unofficially that
the collapse of the debt negotia-
tions prompted the withdrawal Of
the representatives.
The State Department also an
nounced that a reduction would
be made in the personnel of the
American Embassy at Moscow,
until the staff totals only 68.
This diplomatic rebuff to Mos
COW is not prelude to withdrawal
of American representation in the
Soviet Union, State Department
officials insisted. Nor, it was
added, has American Ambassador
William C. Bullitt any intention of

International News Service


President Roosevelt's 4,880-mil
1ion.dollar work relief program
hung in the balance today after
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee voted 10 to 10 to abandon
it for a 2,000-million-dollar direct
relief plan.
The "dole" proposal was made
by Senator Adams CD Of Colo

ter Glass 3D. of Virginia, COM
mittee chairman. 1t was sup
ported generally by Republicans
on the committee.
McAdOO Saves Day
When the vote was taken, 1t ap-
soeared the substitute had been
adopted by 1O-to-9 vote, but Sen.
ator McAdoo CD of California,
entered the room and voted for the
Presidents measure. This created
q tie and defeated the substitute.
Sponsors of the direct relief
plan announced they would carry
their fight to the floor Of the
Senate.
The Democratic proposals for
limiting the Presidents powers in
administering the hugh 4,000-mil-
lion-dollar work fund were adopted
unanimously. These forbid his
using any Of the money to ire
heve economic maladjustments, :"
or to guarantee loans to NEEDY
individuals.
Two whole sections OF the bill
were scrapped. These would have
given Mr.. Roosevelt broad powers
to merge, consolidate? or abolish
emergency government agencies.
Restrictions Urged
A clear majority of the COM
ndittee was reported as favoring
limitations on the President S

3. To impose prevailing wage

The Hayden and McCarran pro-

that the Securities Exchange Com

that the exchanges have.
The national welfare comes first
and only those who make a definite

most unfair imputatiOn, Mr.. Gay said,
and the stock exchanges in explain

ali the facts.
Mr.. Gay attacked the theory that
securities markets are responsible for
swings in the business cycle. What
ever the final cause, be it monetary,
industrial or psychological, we know
that 1t is not the securities markets.
They are mirrors which reflect the

Those affiliated with securities mar

character of the market place in the

with the illusion in some quarters
