TREASURY BOND
BILL REPORTED

ported an Administration bill Civ.
ing the Treasury authority to
issue 1880 millions of dollars in
additional bonds.
Action was taken after Secre.
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
explained the proposal behind
closed doors.
The bill permits the issuance of
United States savings, or "baby"
bonds, in denominations from $25
up. These bonds would be sold
at discount to yield between two
and three per cent interest.
Added authority for bond issues
was said to be necessary because
the Treasury can issue only $500
millions more bonds from it's

The new authority provides for
a 25,0C0 million.dollar revolving
authorization.

U. S. Equipment Inadequate

Says Private Builder

International News Service
Navy equipment for design and
construction Of ships has been
completely inadequate until re-
Gently, and at present is only in
process of improvement.
This was declared before the
Senate Munitions Investigating
Committee today by John Metten,
expert private designer and. presi-
dent of the New York Shipbuilding
Corporation.
Mr.. Metten's testimony devel-
oped as the committee counsel,
Stephen Raushenbush, brought to
light the strange story of forma-
ton in 1926 of the Marine Engi-
neering Corporation. This concern
represented pooling of the yard
equipment and design staffs Of the
New York Shipbuilding Corpora
tion, the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
Company and the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock Com
pany.
Denies Charges
Members of the committee
sought to develop evidence that
the Navy, in launching program
of seven cruisers, was "at the
mercy of the Big Three" en-
bracing the units of the Marine
Engineering Corporation.
Mr.. Metten denied this. The
Marine Engineering Corporation
was formed, he said, only after the
three concerns involved had sub
mitted separate bids for the ship
construction.
Equipment Scattered
Senator Vandenberg (RJ, of
Michigan, asked:
"COuld any other yards have
built these ships-any private
yards. / mean?"
Mr.. Metten replied:
81 don't believe So"
Mr.. Vandenberg continued:
"Well, now, take the Navy it.
self. Isn't the Navy's equip
ment so scattered that it would
have been difficult or impOs.
sible for the Navy to have built
the boats in its yards?"
"It is true that the Navy has
always had its equipment scat
tered. Also, Navy men are con.
stantly being transferred from
place to place. The private de-
signing StaffS are highly trained
and concentrated over a period
of years."
The Michigan Senator snapped: {:
Then isn't the Navy more
or less at the mercy of the pri.
vate deSigners?"
well, the Navy is trying to
correct that"
Mr.. Vandenberg interrupted:
"The answer then, is yes, but

this situation. Isn't that it?"

Then someone went up to

Instead Judge Bentley "took
under consideration" the motion
of Defense Attorney Ralph Cusick
to set aside the judgment. She
declined to say whether she
would render a decision today or
not.
Parole Refused
Mr.. Cusick then asked that the
boys be paroled into the custody
Of their parents pending the de.
cision. This was refused by the
woman jurist.
The attorney then asked to
have them admitted to bail, and
Judge Bentley also refused this
The Corporation Counsel was
called upon by Judge Bentley to
respond to Mr.. Cusick'S plea citing
a dozen alleged trial errors.
Judge Bentley seemed surprised
when Mr.. Prettyman rose to his
feet and stated his office would
have no objec V1on to granting a
new trial.
Pleads for Hearing
Addressing the court, the Cor
poration Counsel said:
81 have always felt that no
official nor tribunal which has
the care of q persons liberty in
Its hands can go too far in the
direction of a full and adequate

my personal opinion is that
q court should lean backward to

never found it inadvisable to go
to any lengths to guarantee a
full hearing.
"The rule in our office is to
90 to the utmost lengths to hear
all evidence in a case.
"In this particular case, since
the attack on the judgment is
directed to the action of the
court, we will have no Objec-
tiOn to the granting of this
motion, preferring to place no
obstacle in the way of justice.

"Again, I repeat, we have no
objection to the granting of

pate in a new trial If it is
granted"
In his argument, pointing out
the alleged trial errors which he
said violated the constitutional
rights of the boys, Mr.. CuSic said:
This sentence is worse than
