Proposal Made to Munitions
Committee as ConServa-

BY REX COLLIER.

The Senate Munitions Committee
today had before it for study a sug-
gestion by one of its members that
the Government take over the Amer
lean manganese industry as con-
servation measure in the interest of
national defense.
The proposal, made by Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, followed
testimony yesterday by j. Carson Ad-
kerson. president of the American
Manganese Producers Association,
that the Government had indicated a
desire to purchase an emergency sup
ply of 100000 pounds domestic man.
ganese ore. This would cost about
$50, 0,000, 900, he said.
When Adkerson estimated the value
of the manganese industry in this
country at $4,000 900, Senator Clark
expressed the view it would be cheaper
for the Government to buy the whole
industry, or to seize it by right of
eminent domain
The committee previously had under
consideration proposal that the Gov
ernment take over the warship and
munitions industries as an economy
step and to take the profits out of
war" Such move, it was estimated,
would cost between SAL 900 900 and
$4,000. 900. expended in plant de-
velopment.
The committees inquiry into profits

SHOWDOWN IS DUE E.
ON RELIEF CHARGE.
Claim of G. o. P. Senators
Funds Aid Democrats
Will Be Aired.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

A showdown on the proposal of Sem
ate Republicans to delve into charges
that Federal relief funds find their
way into political campaigns is ex-
pected next week.
Senator Hastings Of Delaware, rank
ing Republican on the Senate Privi-
leges and Elections Committee, has
ready an amendment to the Robinson
resolution setting up the Campaign
Investigating Committee. This directs
the committee to include in its work
inquiries into such charges.
II don't see how the Democrats can
object to my amendment" said Hast
ings today, but they may"
The Investigating Committee is
proposed in a resolution offered by
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader 1t has been IA
vorably reported to the Senate from
the Privileges and Elections Commit
tee and is awaiting only report from
the Committee on Audit and Control
of the contingent expenses, headed
by Senator Byrnes of South Carolina.
The resolution, which has the approval
of President Roosevelt, calls for a
special committee of five Senators to
inquire into campaign expenditures of
candidates for President, Vice Presi-
dent and Senator.
Charge Counters Charge.
Democratic leaders, including Post
master General Farley, chairman Of
the Democratic National Committee,
have charged that the Republicans
are preparing to use millions of dol
lars in the coming presidential and
congressional campaign.
Republicans have countered with
the charge that the Roosevelt admin
istration has billions of dollars of
public funds at its disposal. appro-
priated for relief, for benefits to be
paid to the farmers and for public
works, which will be used where and
how it will do the most political good.
If the Democrats are to investigate
the campaign funds raised for the
various candidates for President and
for Senator, the Republicans insist
that the Senate committee also should
inquire into charges that relief funds
and other funds of the Government
are being used for political purposes.
Former Gov Clifford Pinchot OF
Pennsylvania not long ago wrote two
letters to President Roosevelt, assert
ing that relief money allotted that
State by the Federal Government had
been used for political purposes; that
he had evidence men and women on

Gun Limit Favored.

LONDON, February 8-The United
States delegation to the International
Naval Conference, confronted by Brit
ish, French and Italian proposals to
the Technical Committee for Samller
Vessels, maintained today its stand
for IS, ,0O0-ton battleships and 10000
ton cruisers.
Informed sources expressed doubt
that the differences in the viewpoints
of the powers could be compromised,
in view of past positions, and looked
for the question to be turned over to
the conference as whole for de-
cision if the anticipated deadlock
could not be broken.
The Technical Committee ad-
journed until Monday after the clash
in opinions arose yesterday during
the first discussion of qualitative limi-
tations in any new agreement to re-
place the expiring Washington and
London naval limitations treaties.
The Americans, nevertheless, re-
ceived tn, development of the quail
tative differences hopefully as an in
f1uence to swing the d Hberations
back to specific questions.
This discussion succeeded a week
of maneuvers over differences between
the British and French over the gen.
eral question as to whether Germany
should be included in a new agree
ment.
Admiral William H. Standley.
United States chief of naval oper-
ations, who presented the American
views to the Technical Committee,
insisted the United States required
bigger vessels than those proposed by
the other powers.
He said the United States was will
ing, however, to reduce the maximum
size of guns from Is to Il inches If
the other three nations agree.

Germany, February 8.-America nearly
lost the services of four of her bob

tion in the fourth Wintel Olympics
was marked by another hockey vic
tory for Canada and fine slalom ski
ing performances by Christel Crantz
of Germany, who captured the slalom
and combined downhill-slalom skiing
titles.
Donna Fox, the Bronx undertaken,
who in three years has become one
of Americas finest pilots, was taken
to hospital and the other three
members of his four-man crew were
badly shaken up when their sled got
out of control in practice run on
the Olympic chute.
At the hospital it was found that
Fox injuries were slight. Physicians
said he would be able to compete In

New Course Record in Sight.
The accident to the American bob
sled occurred in the final straight
away, just when it seemed certain the
Americans would set up a new record
for the course.
Fox's sled had negotiated all the
curves, including the dreaded Bavarian
horseshoe, at terrific speed. but with
out incident. At the final curve, how
ever, Fox lost control, and the sled
upset.
Lawrence barely escaped what might
have been serious injury when the up
set sled grazed his head as it shot past
him to slide to the finish line under
its own momentum. ..
The accident occurred at what Is
known as "Seekurve.
1.-The trouble with that curve" Law
renee told the Associated Press, "is the
approach to it. The ice squares, which
are built into 1t like a mosaic, start
quite suddenly instead of gradually.
"At the terrific speed at which we
were racing Fox had to take the side
of the curve early, while slower bobs
take it late. Instead of striking the
ice he struck snow, so one of his hands
was torn OF the wheel and he couldn't
control the sled with the other.
THE wheel of the sled is badly bent
but it wasn't damaged otherwise"
