BANKER HIT
FOR STUMP
SPEECH BY
SENATOR
Germany Forced Entry
Into Conflict, Arms
Inquiry Told
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent

Correspondents
The charge that he made q
stump speech" was flung in the
face Of j. p. Morgan, interna-
tional banker, today as he con-
cluded q scathing, prepared state
ment before the Senate Munitions
Committee directly charging the
German government with starting
the World War in a move toward
world domination.
Senator Clark CD Of Missouri,
made the accusation after Morgan
succeeded in inserting his state
ment after some quibbling. Nor
gan concluded, in his heavy, rumb.
Ing voice, and Clark Immediately
cut in, saying: .tss
SIN the future I win object to
the insertion Of any more stump
speeches In the Record, not per
tanning specifically to the cues
ton"
LAMONT DEFENDS MORGAN
Senator Nye (RJ, committee
chairman, said:
81 believe it would be advis-
able to make q rule that from
now on no statements be inject
ed in the Record until the COM
mite has had q chance to sCru-
tinixe them"
Morgan did not reply to the
Clark charge, but another Morgan
partner, Thomas w. Lamont, did.
He said that Morgan had been
accused Of helping to draw Amer
lea into the war. He asked:
"What could be more natural
than that Mr.. Morgan should
make such q statement"
The Morgan statement which
got into the record was q blunt
and bitter Indictment Of the Ger
man government. The banker not
only said that Germany was re-
sponsible for Americas entry, but
added that because of the Ger
man insults and outrageS this Gov.
eminent could hardly have done
otherwise than declare war. He
declared:
DRIVEN INTO WAR;
There are some things IL il
better to die for than live with.
out, and q nations self respect
and independence are two Of
them, as our country has
proved, once or twice before in
its history.
Germany drove us into the
war by . series of acts begin
ming with the sinking Of tho
Lusitania and ending in the
browning insult Of suggesting to
Mexico to make war on us,
promising it should have assist
ance and the surrender Of
Texas, Arizona, and New Mex
leo as . reward. We certainly
could not bear any more OF
such acts"
Morgan said that no one hated
war more than he, but that he
felt proud Of this nation when
1t entered on the side Of the allies.
The hearing today wildly re-
called the inquiry of three years
ago when the Morgan firm was
called before Senate investigators.
Nye plunged into a series Of
questions on the Morgan firm.
Before him in a trio Of witness
chairs were Morgan, Thomas w.
Lamont, George Whitney, and
Russell c. Leffingwell, partners,
and q large group Of Morgan
assistants and clerks.
Asks Financial Statement.
Nye asked Morgan for a finan-
cial statement of the banking
houses in 1914. Morgan replied:
about the same as now"
At this point his partners
shook their heads in dissent.
Morgan corrected himself, say.
ing:
~ don't know what they are.
I wouldn't even remember"
Nye asked for q statement for
1917. Morgan replied:
1--WE never made statements
then"
Finally Nye had to be content

lions where it must be controlled.
One important example Of this is
posture. At about the age of be-
ginning college the skeleton has
completed it's development. The
bones are first laid down in carti-
lage. In childhood the middle part
OF the long bones of the leg and
arm have become ossified, but there
Is cartilagian remnant at each
end called the epiphysis. The ex-
IRENE ends of each epiphysis also
ossify, leaving a cartilaginous disk
between the epiphysis and the mid
portion. This disk is very inpor-
tant because it is only here that
the bone can grow.
This fact was established wears
ago by Stephen Hales, an English
clergyman, the same man who
studied the laws of blood pressure
He drove little silver pegs in the
bones of young rabbits at meas
ured distances, and the bones ex-
amined at one month, two months
and three months. The distances
between the pegs remained the
same except when the pegs were
separated by disks of cartilage.
For this reason surgeons have
learned to regard injuries to this
part of the bone in people under
20 with great anxiety. At about
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-09-19
Physical Examination
rs Important for Youth

the age Of II growth in the long
bones is so rapid that bony tissue
bridges across this cartilage and
destroys it. At the age of 20
growth in the long bones stops and
they settle into permanent ossif-
cation.
Posture Becomes Permanent
At this age, too, all the muscles
and tendons of the body get set,
and habits of posture at this age
are apt to be permanent. Bad hab-
its can be broken up. In one coll
lege with which I am familiar the
freshman class exercises in a room
lined with mirrors. This is an ef-
fective way to correct errors of
posture.
Another thing that the physical
examination can do at this age is
reveal early latent tendencies to
tuberculosis. tuberculosis is dis
ease which has one aspect In child
hood and an entirely different one
in adult life. At about the age of
IL to 20 the change takes place.
1t may progress for some time en-
tirely without symptoms, unless
detected by some such procedure
as routine physical examination.
Great stress is laid upon the
heart examination, but here I do
not feel so enthusiastic. Small de-
fects or casual heart murmurs do
not mean much in youth, and are
liable to be exaggerated by tact
less examiners or friends so that
athletics are prohibited and a
healthy young life restricted to In
validisn. Athletics do not hurt
young hearts; in fact, are good for
them.
But for many reasons q physi-
cal examination would be good
thing for any young person of 20,
even If not entering college.

LIVER and

TROUBLES

Constipation, liver, gall bladder trou-
bles do come together-often when
you're constipated, hillary drainage is
not normal either. So ordinary laxa-
tives temporarily relieving constipa-
tion still leave you feeling terrible. But
Pluto Water (icith amazing double Gc-
tion) helps all these troubles at same
time. Gives a sure, gentle flush in an
hour or less. Stimulates gall bladder,
liver to normal, "free flowing" action
Eorelief is quick, thorough. For years,
over so, 900 doctors have used or rec
commended Pluto. So do as doctors do
when dull, listless from constipation,
liver or gall bladder troubles. Take the
tasteless notwithstanding dose-1l5

dred million bottles OF Pluto have been
used. The safest, most economical

LEADERS EXTEND
SYMPHONY DRIVE
Radio Appeal Broadcast
Urging Support Of $780,.
600 Campaign.

Government officials and educa-
tional leaders united with leaders Of
the National Symphony Orchestra's
sustaining fund campaign yesterday
in q fervent radio appeal for WASH
ingtonians to aid In the drive for
$100, 900.
The broadcast originated IN the
Carlton Hotel at the final daily lunch-
con Of the To-day concentrated cam
paign, which closed yesterday. Work.
ers were told the drive had fallen
q little short of the halfway mark,
but that the campaign will be ex-
tended to allow solicitors to canvass
their territories throughly and to re-
ceive contributions from organizations
and out-of-town friends Of the SYM
phony.
Enthusiasm Net Dampened.
The fact their goal was not reached
during the intensive" campaign failed
to dampen the enthusiasm Of directors
and workers, however, as they pre-
pared to continue solicitation "until
the full $100,0Go is subscribed" as
DR.. William Mcclellan, member Of
the Board of Directors, put it.
Representative Brewster Of Maine
told the campaign workers and q
radio audience: America is coming
of age when the general public can
support q project like the National
Symphony Orchestra" He pointed
out the capitals Of nearly all other
great countries have their symphony
orchestras.
Cloyd Heck Marvin. president OF
George Washington University, praised
the orchestra and its director, DR.
Hans Kinder, describing the SYM
phony as community asset"
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director OF
the mint, emphasized the fact that
Washington parents-many of them
sojourners here-are eager to have
their children given the opportunitie,
they missed in communities where
children's concerts were not provided
as they are in Washington schools.
DIR. Kinder Offers $500.
Harold N. Marsh, co-chairman o.
the Campaign Committee, acted a
master Of ceremonies during tn,
broadcast and luncheon, and Corcorar
Thorn and DR.. Mcclellan emphasized
the economic and social values Of tn,
orchestra in Washington. The appea
was broadcast by Station wJSV.
Some idea Of the enthusiasm Of tht
workers at the meeting may be CLEANED
from the fact that when DR.. Kinder
offered a personal gift Of $500 to thu
sustaining fund it was matched i'm.
mediately by eight campaign leaders
and a donation Of $100.45 was con.
tributed by individuals to the Sport.
