SENATE SPLIT.
ON MARINE
SUBSIDY
FaFIey-Roper Dispute
Threatens to Doom
Ship Aid Bill
By GEORGE DURNO
Iutarnakional News Service

Prospects Of legislation at this
session awarding the American
merchant marine a direct subsidy
hung in the balance today as a
result Of an Administration fam
lily quarrel.
Big Jim Farley's Postoffice De-
partment was lined UP against
Secretary Dan Roper's Commerce
Department, adm President Roose-
velt vas experiencing headache
reminiscent of the one Warren G.
Harding suffered back in 1921
when he unSucceSsfully attempted
to maneuver a somewhat similar
ship subsidy bill through Congress.
Each faction had its spokesman
in the Senate. Senator Hugo
Black Cd 'of Alabama, backed by
postoffice officials, was insistent
that a strict limitation on profits
and salaries be written into any
bill substituting construction and
operating subsidies for the present
indirect ocean mail subsidies. SEN
ator Royal s. Copeland Cd Of
New York, Is sponsoring a bill ap-
proved by the Commerce Depart
ment which would give the ship
ping interests more leeway than
Black wants.
Holding Companies
The Alabama Senator, who di-
rected the sensational mail con.
tract hearings which resulted in
cancellation Of air mail contracts,
Is particularly insistent that ship
ping companies which accept
subsidy be prevented from setting
up holding companies and other
subsidiaries and from paying
huge salaries and bonuses.
A prolonged White House con-
ference all principals failed to
bring about an agreement.
The Copeland bill would limit
profits to 8 per cent but does not
restrict operation Of subsidiaries.
It would permit SOS, 900 a. year
salaries, whereas Black wants q
$17,500 maximum.
Further, the Commerce off.
cialS would like a one-year breath
ing spell for the transition from
indirect to direct subsidies. The
Post Office and Black think ex.
isting ocean. mail contracts
should be Cancelled 80 days from
the date any bill becomes law.

DENUNCIATI0N
OF ROOSEVELT
ISSCATH|NG
Nation in Grip Of Fear
and Confusion, Laid
to New Deal

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 13
I.N.SO.-Inspired by former Pres
ident Herbert Hoover's fiery Lin
coin Day speech here in which
he issued q ringing denunciation
of President Roosevelt's New Deal
policies, Republican leaders in
the Pacific Northwest today took
their cue and began drawing
battle lines for the hectic 1886
presidential campaign.
Mr.. Hoover's speech, his most
fiery attack to date on the Roose-
velt Administration. contained
sharp barbs at inflationary none
tary policies and at the present
Government budget, which he de-
clared was "the worst balanced
budget in history"
Sees All a. Confusion
The subject Of the former
Presidents speech was "th4 con-
fused state Of the Union"
He charged the present Admin
iStration was responsible "for
confusion in thought, confusion
in government, confusion in eco
nonic life and confusion in
ideals"
The present Administration has
solved only "a few national prob
lems," and has inspired fear in
the Nation, Mr.. Hoover charged.
He said:
"The new ideal has been .
veritabIe fountain Of fear. The
day after the New Deal was
given life at the election Of
1882 began the great fear
which created the bank panic
Of March 4. The stock boom
today Is not from confidence
In the future-it is partly from
fear Of initiation"
''But Not In Politics"
But, he declared:
"The New Deal is not con-
fused in politics. National plan.
ming has been q success in that
field"
Under the sub-head Confusion
of Fear" the former President
said:
@The unemployment Of mil.
IiOns Of men in the capital goods
industries is due to feaf Of New
DEAF currency policies. It was
the Supreme Court decisions
crashing through New DEAF
tyrannieS which brought 3
gieam Of confidence from the
fears that had retarded re-
cOvery."
The former President discussed
the confusion Of economic life"
by making references to the NRA
and the AAA, saying:
'Their language was con-
founded and they were scat.
tered by the Supreme Court"
On the subject Of confusion
in fiscal and monetary policies" I"
Mr.. Hoover cited the terrific jump
in the national debt since 1888
and said the public debt bids fair
to rise to q minimum Of $685.
000,0O0,0O0.
Warns Of Initiation
Pointing to the failure Of the
Roosevelt Administration to even
attempt to balance the Federal
budget, Mr.. Hoover said:
"The nation has been steered
into the dangerous channels Of
borrowing these vast deficits
from the banks by . huge Cy.
Gle Of bank credit initiation.
That Is printing-presS credit.
The charts Of all history show
this channel leads to currency
initiation. Every democracy
that has entered these straits
has been sunk"

Investigation turned in that direc-

Capt. John F. Stokes chief of the

that he drove a thick-set, darkroom

From Barralini, now under voluntary
detention at the Quincy police head
quarters, police learned, Stokes said,
that Lyons and Mrs. Asquith were at
the cottage September 1s, but insisted
he never saw either again.
While investigators continued their
frenzied hunt for clues, hundreds OF
persons gathered yesterday around the
cottage. Their automobiles blocked
roads in every direction. Fearful the
crowd might spoil clues, officials as
