Bankers accustomed to doing
international business entered the
operations. They accepted ship

ment for American goods. They
aided in the transfer and sale of
foreign-owned American and
Canadian securities for the pur-
pose of raising cash to discharge
the obligations created by the
Allied governments in the pur-
chase of goods. They arranged to
provide temporary credits of one
kind or another pending final pay

In providing these services the
bankers facilitated the purchase

PRObERS PLAN
EARLY QUIZ OF
BLAST VICTIMS
Five, Less Seriously Hurt,
May Be Questioned at
Hospital Today

State and local investigators this
afternoon planned to interview five
victims of yesterdays explosion at
the Continental Baking Co., 339 E.
Market-st.
Investigators disclosed they in
tend to question the victims at
Methodist Hospital as soon as they
are able to receive visitors.
Edward Byrnes, 26-year- old bak-
ing plant engineer, lies critical:-
injured in City Hospital and is too
i'll to be questioned. He received
burns and crushed chest.
The five other victims are main
tenance workers who are being
treated for injuries which are not
considered serious.
Building Not in Danger
Capt. Harry A. Miller, acting fire
prevention chief, said this afternoon
that the blast which damaged val
liable machinery and wrecked a
portion of the building was caused
by leaking gas in the compressor
room
After an inspection today, William
H. Hurd, city building inspector. said
that there was no danger that the
structure might collapse. No esti-
mate has been made of the damage.
Investigations were being made
by Capt. Miller, Mr.. Hurd, Robert
Myers of the state fire marshaIs
office and the state industrial board.
Two Theories Are Advanced
Two theories were advanced as to
the cause of the explosion: That gas
escaped from a break in the meter
or that gas leaked from the lead
pipe to the compressor.
Damage of thousands of dollars to
machinery will not prevent the bak-
cry from operating or distributing
its products today, it was announced.
Mr.. Byrnes, who lives at 1926 E.
16th-st, had left the boiler room to
go to the meter room when the ex-
plosion occurred He insisted on
shutting off the valves on the boilers

Lip Service

By Science Serrice
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Change
the scent of your lipstick, girls,
if the kind you are using brings
on a skin trouble.
The doctors have traced
some cases of lipstick dermatitis
the skin disorder that oc-
casionally develops among
users of lip rouge-to the per-
fume it contains.
A particular offender is a
perfume containing methyl
heptine carbonate, the Journal
of American Medical Associa-
ton states.
A young woman came to her
doctor with a breaking-out on
the skin, which he traced to
her use of lipstick. She had
been using a certain brand for
years with no i'll effects until
she changed shades.
BY patch tests on the girls
arm, the physician found that
she was sensitive not to the oil
or dyes in the rouge, but only
to the perfume used in two
shades of lipstick of the brand
she had been using.
The same test was made on
38 other women. Exactly half
of the 38 were sensitive to the
lipstick that had methyl hep
tine carbonate in its perfume.
Other possible components of
the perfume used in lipsticks
gave no reaction.

BIZ United Press

gram, in which Republican hackers

ing role.
Immediately after both Houses
had sent to the White House the
repeal of the cotton. tobacco and
potato control acts, the controversy
broke Unexpectedly in the House
where Rep Clifford Hope (R., Kas.),
demanded immediate action to at
tack the farm problem on three
cornered front.

backed by many Republicans and
sometimes linked to Gov. ALT Lam
don, potential presidential nominee,
spoke as the Senate opened a hot
debate on the new farm bill to re-
place the AAA.
Details of Proposal
Rep. Hope suggested that the
problem be solved by:
l. Developing and maintaining the
home market for domestic farmers
O. A domestic allotment plan
which will give producers of surplus
crops an equivalent for the tariff.
3. The development of foreign
markets for American agricultural
SURPRISES.
The tariff equalization feature was
considered the most important fea-
ture.
Meanwhile, the revised Admins
tration farm bill was laid before the
Senate by Chairman Ellison D
Smith 3D., S. c. of the Agriculture
Committee.
1t was greeted by a. demand from
Republican Leader Charles l.. Nc
Nary of Oregon for full explana-
ton of these various editions"

Explains Administration Bill
Mr.. Smith SAID that the revised
farm bill would coordinate the
Federal powers with the state pow
ers to accomplish the best possibls
for agriculture.
"The object is to preserve anc
conserve the productivity of the
SOIL" he said.
He said he thought there would be
no question of the constitutionality
of the proposals for state plans

lures of the bill, providing benefit;
for farmers who cooperate in con
servation methods, could be defend
ed successfully.

AAA TAXES MAY
Be RECAPTURED
Retroactive Clause May
Provide Means, Say
Justice Experts.
BIZ United Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Recap-
ture of 100000, 900 impounded proc
essing taxes lost to the government
by Supreme Court order is consti-
tutionally possible in the opinion of
Justice Department experts, con-
gressional leaders revealed today.
Recovery is possible through in
corporation of a retroactive clause
in the tax bill being drawn to pro-
vide revenues for the new farm pro-
gram, the experts were quoted as
saying
The Justice Department opinion
came as President Roosevelt con-
tinued to concentrate on fiscal
affairs. He called heads of govern
ment spending agencies to a con-
ference this afternoon at which esti-
mates of cut in authorized ex-
penditures were expected to be pre-
sented
The retroactive levies, legal ex-
pertS advised congressional leaders,
must be restricted to the present
fiscal year which began July l, 1885,
in view of the Supreme Court
opinion.
BY going back to July l, virtually
all of the impounded processing
levies would be returned to the gov
eminent. The bulk of legal actions
which tied up the funds were insti-
tuted after that date.
1t was not made clear whether the
new bill would contain any provi-
sion intended to thwart efforts of
professors to recover any of the
$1,000, 100000 processing taxes act
ually paid into the Treasury.

$3.50 AUDIENCE
CHEERS CHAPLIN
Comedian Sings in Latest
Film, PIeasant-but
Without Words.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Charlie
Chaplin's voice came from the
screen for the first time last night
in riotous world premiere of
Modern Times" his first picture in
five years.
The film received an ovation from
first-night crowd studded with
headline names. Scenes outside the
Rivoli Theater rivaled Hollywood
famous premieres
Extra police were necessary to
handle a stubborn crowd that
gathered at 49th and Broadway to
look upon the top~natted actors and
ermine-clad actresses who paid
$3.50 each to see the screens first
genius" Police used night-sticks
before getting the crowd under con-
troll
But Chaplin's voice-he displayed
it, but not much.
1t came clear and pleasant, in a
series of songs in a cafe scene where
he was a singing waiter. For the
purposes of the film and Chaplin
comedy, he forgot his lines and
merely poured forth unrecognizable
words to bright and airy tune.
This particular scene brought hin.
the best hand of the evening.
In Nature of Satire
The picture was in the nature of
satire on the machine age. with
Chaplin a confused figure in modern
life.
He turned bolts in a factory until
he went crazy. He picked up a red
warning flag to restore it to an oil
truck and was arrested as Com
munist. Out of Jail, he unwittingly
get mixed UP with demonstrating
strikers and was again Melted by
police.
The lack of voices and the sud-
den appearance of title lines rather
stunned an audience long accus-
toned to talking films.
Among those who fought their
way into the theater with the aid
of police and through the flashes of
scores of photographers were Ed
ward G. Robinson, Gloria Swanson
Evelyn Laye, Corinne Griffith and
Eddie Cantor.

In statement taking cognizance

obviously, labor will be at dis

at the depressed level to which they
have been forced through the pur-

said.
LAS a matter of sound public pol

in wages should precede an increase
