 Vandenberg Answered
 Washington, Sept. 25-(UP)-Sec- retary of the Treasury Henry Mor- genthau, Jr, followed up a staunch defense of administration fiscal po- licies today with an offer of $50,- OOO,000 in treasury bills. The fiscal defense was made in letter to Sen Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich. and the new treasury offering was announced 8 few hours later. Treas ury officials said there was no con. nection between the two. The bills Morgenthau said, will be offered Monday to highest bidders. They will be sold at 8 discount, dated Sept. 28, 1886, and maturing June 30, 1887, without interest.
 Morgenthau's letter to Vanden- berg was in reply to letter iron the Michigan senator questioning the adviSability of continuing tt buy foreign gold at $35 an ounce the price fixed by the government under its dollar devaluation policy The $4,00O, ,O00, ,OO0 of foreign invest. ments in this country, Morgenthau said, should not be considered eith- CT scause for alarm" nor as ''threat to continued recovery" Ht revealed that net gold imports ints the United States during 1884 ana 1885 amounted to $2.056, 900, 900.

 Drive Is Intense
 The drive to Iinseat the democra- tic incumbent in the 18th district, Senator Joseph Lawlor, is more in- tense this year than ever before. The independent democrats under the leadership of Attorney John T.. Tobin are understood to be lined up with the regular republicans in sup port of any one of the trio mem toned for the g.op. nomination, Hill, Cuddy or Mitchell.

ask congress for funds and author ization to broaden its inquiry to in- clude fascistic activities in this country.
 Pinkert0n Gives Fact
 Robert A. Pinkerton, slender, 32- year-old president of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, inform ed the senate civil liberties com- mittee today that he received $129,- 800 in dividends from the concern during 1885.
 Pinkerton, well dressed and cour- teous, testified he owned 70 per cent of the stock in the agency and that the other 30 per cent was held by two aunts, Mrs. Anna P. Gibb and Mrs. Mary F. Carlisle.
 Pinkerton said the firm still owed him 8 $367, ,000 balance from ap- proximately $1,500,O00 which was turned into the treasury of the firm by two partners when it was incorp- orated in 1925.
 He said the agency's legal repre- sentative was the prominent New York firm of Cravath, Degersdorf Swaine and Wood. He testified that Carl A. Degersdorff, social register member of the law firm, had been on the Pinkerton board of directors from 1880 until early this year.
 Got Only Dividends
 Pinkerton said he was paid no salary outside of dividends. He testi. fled that the agency had been founded in 1850 and engaged only in reputable Investigating work.
 we are general detective bus iness," he said. we do Investigation We conduct investigations of any legitimate type-any type within the law. We assist police and sheriffs as well as lawyers and insurance com. panies."
 Pinkerton testified jointly with Asher Rossiter, vice-president and general manager of the company who said he had risen from the ranks of office boy during his 4s years of employment.
 Last of Series
 Today's hearing was the last o1 the current series in the commit tees inquiry into the extent anc methods of strikebreaking. As it be- gan, a gas machine gun mentioned in yesterdays testimony was brought into the marble walled room.

 These remarks followed 6 plea for European nations to forget their schisms over forms of government such as fascism and communism and to unite in preventing war.
 He lamented the race in arma- ments, saying:
 Great Britain regrets spending huge sums for arms, but we shall persist in 1t until the nations of the world reach an international agree ment for the limitation and reduc- ton of arrnaments."
 T0lereance For Other
 The first speaker at today'S SeS- sion of the assembly, Eden said that the first rule of international order must be faith in ones own na- tional tenetS, tolerance for those oi others"
 He painted a dark picture of the world situation, saying "nationalisn is strong; its antagonisms are VI brant; rival forms of Government art hurling defiance at one another
 Consequently. Eden said. everI nation is increasing its arms ex' penditures so that the standard ol living may find itself sacrificed t the standard of armaments."
 However, he added. the situation is not hopeless.

 May Conclude Hearings Senator Robert M. LaFollette, F., Wisconsin, chairman of the com- mittee, said he expected questioning of Pinkerton heads would conclude the present hearings. Other hear ings may be held, however, before the committee reports to congress early next session, he said.

 May Execute Hostages
 Rebel sources estimated that the ieftists Qoyalists) at Bilbao and santander, farther west, held about $500 hostages in all, many in prison ships, and expressed fear that they might be executed.
 The attempt of the Madrid gov- ernment to Hood the Maqueda- To- ledo fighting area by releasing head waters of the Alberche river and inundating a great area demained a mystery.
 The result promised to be of tremendous importance. There was no doubt that the leftist govern ment hoped 1t would shatter the en- tire rightist drive and leave the way open for an advance of the loyal ists all the way to Talavera.
 Direct United Press dispatches said that authorities were still most reticent; that hitherto unimpeach- able sources said the flooding was a success but that the actual po- 2 sitions of loyalists troops indicated that it had succeeded only in part if 1t had not actually failed.
 Rebels Ready To Advance
 The position on the Maqueda- Toledo road was of greatest imme- diate importance. Latest authentic dispatches indicated that the rebels were ready to advance from RielveS, "a miles west of Toledo, and that the loyalists had selected defense line 8 1-2 miles was of Toledo, near the banks of the Guadarrama river.
 Gen. Queipo de Llano, the rebel broadcaster at Seville whose past claims have not been on the modest side, took occasion late last night to deny reports from other rebel wireless stations that the rebels had entered the city of Toledo.
 The rebel garrison in the ruions and the cellars of the Alcazar still held out this morning hoping for early relief. The loyalist besieging force was reduced and column was sent westward to strengthen the de- Tense line.
 Attack Impossible
 Militia and their officers at To- ledo agreed that an assault on the present rebel position at the Alcazar is impossible. The rebels hold bar ricaded windows 40 to 50 feet higher than the highest loyalist lines on the north side and IS to 20 feet higher on the northeast side.
 To attack such positions would be suicide, loyalists said. All rebels re- mained inside the building except a few who sniped from the garden and windows.
 Apparently other means than frontal attacks must be used If the loyalists are to advance from their pgesent positions. Some talked of saaother dynamiting but no prep axations for 1t could be seen. Some, including members of the command, feel that fire and smoke may drive ' the rebels out.

 A thorough investigation" is re- quired, according to Boore, by the "wiping out of the interests of SC. curity holders which, during ser. les of manipulative activities, has caused a loss approximately $50,~ 100000 to the investment public"
 Activities of both companies, he charged, "SaYour of nothing short of financial sabotage"
 Example of Sabotage As example of this sabotage" Borre said that through the me- chanics of bookkeeping and revalus ation," assets of the Amoskeag com. pany were marked up "in the stag- gering amount" of more than $40,. 100000 after they actually had de. creased $4,000,000.
 Presiding at the hearings will be Chairman Adolph J. Sabath of Ill. inois, chairman of the congressional committee to investigate bondhold- ers' congratulations. The case will be presented to the committee by Bore with William J. Kenney as associate counsel.

PARLIAMENT MAY ACT

Paris, Sept. 25.-(UP)-TheF French parliament, normally on vacation until November, may be summoned to cope with the acute financial problems which have led to rumors of a gold embargo Saturday, 1t was reported today.
 Cabinet members met at Matig- non palace on the call of Premier Leon Blum to discuss the franc sit- uation. Later they will be received by President Lebrun at Elysee palace, at which any decreeS de- cided upon will be signed.
 While the cabinet was in session, reports in the corridors said that the decision had been made to sum- mon parliament. In order to deval- uate the currency or establish gold embargo -legally-parliament must pass the necessary legislation. It was significant that Blum cancelled his departure for Geneva, scheduled for tonight, in order to remain in Paris during the crisis.
 It was learned unodicially that the cabinet was preparing decrees which may be submitted to parlia- ment immediately for ratification.
 The decrees would provide for a modified gold embargo as follows: 1. A tax on gold exports. 2. Gold exports hereafter will be subject to prior declaration of in- tention to export, which may be au- thorized or refused by the finance ministry.
