At a recent hearing before the

cars. This evidence was not per-
mitted at the hearing.
Mr.. Roberts today began cor

by three policeman who testified

Haynes, testifying in his own

lemons because he considered the
newly purchased vehicle mechani-
cally unsatisfactory.
The offenseS last night, accord

a commercial broadcast which ad-

Haynes had purchased.
Haynes attorney, Harry L.

ment for my trip to Washing
ton. Acting under the instruc-
tiOnS Of DR.. Townsend 1 refuse
to testify. / am returning q
certified check for $1O6.89."
When the TownSendites failed
to appear yesterday, the Bell
group examined DR.. Albert G.
Hart, instructor of economics at
the University of Chicago, who
declared he could not take the
Townsend plan seriously because
of its complexity Of administra-
ton"
DR.. Hart advised that the trans
action tax recommended in the
Townsend program would neceSSi-
tate the making Of 10000, 900 tax
returns each month and 100000
900 a year although all taxes at
present require only 100000 re-
turns.
He declared thousands" of per-
sons would be required to handle
tax collections and that the Town
send plan would require not a 2
per cent assessment as it's ad-
vocates say, but a 10 per cent levy.
When he was asked if he be-
lieved the Townsend theory that a
2 per cent tax would raise 10000
million dollars and would not be
felt any more than general sales
levy. the 27-year-old economist
replied:
"It would be roughly a 10
per cent tax on all transactions
but would be much more
messy"
From the Townsend camp came
indications last night that every
official and worker called to testi-
fy before the committee will re-
fuse. Charles Hawkes., organizer
for Massachusetts and E. j. Mar
gett, division manager of Califor-
MIA, have been subpoenaed but
not yet notified when to appear.
Downey said DR.. TownSend's
case and those cited with him
for contempt will be carried to the
Supreme Court of the United
States if necessary.

POLICE SAVE
ARMS MAKER
IN STRIKE
RenauIt Held Prisoner
in French Factory;
10000 Walk Out

PARIS, May 20 G.N.SJ.-Louis
Renault, who had been held pris-
cner in his own automobile fac
tory at Billancourt by $4,000 Of
his striking workmen, was rescued
mySteriously today and spirited
away to an unknown destination.
1t is believed a squad Of plain
clothes police obtained entrance
to the factory and succeeded in
releasing the millionaire manu-
facturer.
Premier Albert Sarraut and sew
eral cabinet ministers were meet
ing at the Ministry Of the Interior
seeking a solution to the wave Of
strikes that have been spreading
through the country paralysing
arms and munitions plants. when
news of the release was brought
them.
Isolated from the outside world
when strikers cut his telephone
lines and refused him permission
to leave, Renault, foremost auto
manufacturer and one Of the
richest men in France, was
forced to sit at his office desk,
temporarily deprived of all au-
thority over the factory he owns.
Phone Barred
When word was brought to Pre-
meir Sarraut that Renault was
imprisoned, he attempted to tele-
phone him but was informed by
strikers at the switchboard that
Renault was allowed to talk to
nobody.
Forty thousand metal workers
in the French arms and munitions
plants are at present on strike, In
ternational News Service was in
formed by the metal workers union
headquarters here.
This figure Is increasing
hourly" a union official stated.
Affects Market
The strike reacted sharply on
the Paris bourSe, all induStrials,
railroads and French government
bonds falling. War stocks and
chemicals were particularly af-
fected, Hotchkiss dropping 35
francs to close at $50.
Frances premier arms manu-
facturers, Schneider ct Compag-
nier, continued to tumble, losing
II today and closing at 843.
Schneider has lost 200 francs
within q week. Banks were

TAMMANY SET
ON FOLEY FOR
4 GOVERNOR =.
All Factions Ready to
Back Him for Post
Lehman Quits
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, May % GN.S).
Tammany Halls choice for the
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor is Surrogate James A. Foley,
now that the vote-getting Herbert
H. Lehman has jeopardized Presi.
dent RooSevelt'S chances of carry.
ing New York State this fall by
announcing he will not run for q
third term.
This is the "inside information"
in Tammany circles, where Foley
is highly regarded because of his
outstanding ability as probate
lawyer and his intellectual attain
ments. He is one of the big
three" of Tammany-the other two
being AL Smith and Senator Rob
ert F. Wagner.
Foley Is Silent
Foley, seen by International
News Service in his office in the
hall of records, said: II know
nothing about it," He declined
further comment.
But down at Tammany Hall
they say Foley is just the man for
the governorShip. They would
support him as enthusiastically as
they would battle Roosevelt'S cam
paign manager, James A. Farley,
who is reputed to have an eye on
the governorship for himself.
Foley is so regular Tammany-
ite that he might be described as
being right out of the clubhouse"
He declined the leadership Of
Tammany in 1924 and in 1925 re-
fused to allow Tammany to elect
him mayor of New York city.
Present Job Suits Him
For 16 years Foley has held his
present position of surrogate Of
New York county and time and
again he has told Tammany lead
ers he is happy in this job. He
gives the impression he does not
want anything else.
All his adult life he has been
member of Tammany and he gets
along with all factions. He is
seen frequently with James ].
Dooling, leader of Tammany, at
dinners and other public places.
He gets along with AL Smith and
with former Mayor James j. Wal
ker, even though Smith and Wal
ker aren't the friends they used
to be.
Foley is So, and married. He has
no children. He was born and
raised in New York city. He, AL
Smith and Senator Wagner were
sort of proteges of the late Charles
F.. Murphy. Foley married Muir
phys daughter.
Tammany figures Foley would
carry New York city by a big
majority if he ran for governor.
The fact he is a Tammany "fav'
orite son" might hurt him up
State. Unless some kind Of q
deal is made, it is probable the
powerful O'Connell brothers OF
Albany would reject Foley.
Smart politicians do not expect
Farley to go after the governor
ship this year because he is tied
up with President Roosevelt'S
campaign for reelection and be-
cause Farley hasn't built himself
up for the governorShip.

Guilty was experienced at first, he
added, practically every proml'
nent producer now is publicly
posting prices and other items
bearing on commercial tranSac-
tions in the industry.
Pointing to the increasing men
ace of foreign steel imports, w.
A. Irwin, president of the United
States Steel Corporation, recon-
mended that the anti-dumping
law be supplanted by a stronger
statute, instantly applicable when
needed, and that tariff rates be
set high enough to protect Ameri-
can steel producers.
Grace in his address outlined a
7-point program as follows:
1--WE need governmental con-
ditiOns encouraging free and
competitive enterprise.
I'VE need governmental pol
lcies that will strengthen our
belief in American initiative and
achievement.
CUT GOVERNMENT COST
eve must have relief from
excessive costs of Government
in order that products may be
made at minimum cost to the
consuming public.
eve must have guarantees Of
the right Of opportunity of the
American worker to employ
ment, without interference or
coercion from any source.
1--WE need a condition Of con-
fidence so the investing public
may feel assured Of obtaining
an adequate and reliable return
upon their savings.
Eve need to have an effect
i've and workable basis for So
ciaI security and restore relief
to a sound basis Of local ad-
mfniStratiOn.
FREEDOM FOR INDUSTRY
eve must be allowed to
have unhampered efficiency in
production so that industry
may pay wages leading to an
improved standard of living
Omprived standard of living
and so that lower costs to the
public may provide an in
creased purchasing power for
everyone.
Business and public opinion
both, Grace asserted, are united
against any forces leading toward
abolition of freedom of initiative
and freedom of enterprise"
So-called archaeological unem-
ployment" is not responsible for
the situation, Grace cla i'm d,
since past experience shows tech
nical progress has created rather
than destroyed jobs.
Taxes Drag on Trade
Grace indirectly attacked Admin.
istration tax theories as a drag
on industry when he declared that
savings effected by lowered indus
trial costs are largely offset by in
creased taxes which "serve to dry
up markets, jeopardize reasonable
profits, and prevent building up
adequate reserves for necessary
expansion or to weather storm" 1"
The social security act, he as
serted, is an example of such an
industrial drag. If it had been
in effect from 1881 through 1885.
he claimed, it would have exacted
SO million dollars from the steel in
dustry alone.

eastern regional director Of Old
Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd, and
John B. Kiefer, Chicago manager.
Challenge Accepted
Chairman Bell and committee
members, who have been ponder
ing what to do for a week, finally
were goaded into action when
Sheridan Downey. attorney for DR..
Townsend, ignoring a subpoena
declared:
Il challenge you to punitive
action"
The committee vote for court
trial, rather than trial before the
House on contempt charges was
6 to 2, the opponents being Repre-
sentatives Tolan Cd, and Collins
CD, both California Townsend
ties.
Conviction by the District Court
carries a maximum penalty OF
81 900 and one year in jail.
While he has not been offici-
ally directed by the House to take
action in the Townsend case,
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett today stated that he has
made preliminary" studies OF
the question that might be in
volved.
The chief prosecutor for the
District has directed his staff
members to dig up the prece-
dents in cases of this type, eS-
tablished in the Teapot Dome
contempt trials of Harry F. Sin
clair, oil magnate. and in the
later contempt trial of Col. Rob
w. Stewart, then chairman Of
the board of Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana.
When Attorney Downey issued
his defiant challenge to the COM
mittee yesterday he had not yet
been formally called to testify,
and hence was not included in
the contempt recommendation.
Members of the committee let
it be known, however, he would
"get his" later.
Downey was served with sub
poena Tuesday night. He did not
appear before the committee yes
terday, but Thomas w. Hardwick,
associate counsel. touched off a
powder keg when he presented
Downey's statement.
Not content with uttering this
defiance of the committee,
Downey, when advised he had not
been included in the contempt
citation, issued a second blast de-
claring:
"What makes me unhappy Is
that they didn't include me.
They think I'm just a cheap
publicity seeker. 1t has come to
a fine pass when a man tries so
hard to get in Jail and can't"
After hearing the sizzling Dow
ney statement the committee went
into executive session and quickly
voted the contempt recommends
tion. Those standing for punish
ment of DR.. Townsend and his
aides we're:
Chairman Bell of Missouri and
Representatives Lucas, Illinois;
Gavagan of New York, Democrats,
and Representatives Hoffman,
Michigan; Hollister, Ohio, and
Otter, Pennsylvania, Republicans.
At the opening of the morning
session the names of DR.. Townsend,
the Rev. Wunder and Kiefer were
again called but there was no
answer.
Wunder, however, sent back
$106.89 travel expenses from Cali
fornia, where the subpoena was
served on him. He wrote:
