Blanton Attempts
To Link Ballou to
Report of Radicals

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools, was accused by Chairman
Blanton of the District Appropriations
Subcommittee of refusing to sign a
report of the Commission on Social
Studies in 1888 simply to prevent be-
ing removed from Office, it was re-
vealed today when the record of the
appropriations hearings was made
public.
In more than 100 pages of testimony,
Blanton repeatedly attempted to link
DR.. Ballou to DR.. George S. Counts
and DR.. Charles A. Beard, so-called
radical members of the commission.
Dr. Ballou, secretary of the commits
sion, was one of four members who de-
clined to sign the report.
Blanton also attempted to attach
significance to the fact the commits
sion had a five-year plan and that an
earlier committee on the public
schools here to make study of char
acter education through study Of
social sciences also was created for
five years.

Blanton was joined by Representa-

quizzing the superintendent on why
no minority report was made by the
four dissenting members instead of
merely declining to sign it.
The record shows, after Ballou said
no statement was prepared at the
time, the following:

GENEVA, March 3.-The League
of Nations COMMITTEE of 49," repre-
senting every member Of the council
except Italy, decided today to appeal
to Italy and Ethiopia for peace and
gave the two nations one week in
which to reply.
The date was fixed specifically as
March 10. at which time the COM
mittee will meet again.
The members agreed unanimously
on the text of the peace appeal.
Its draft was discussed earlier in
the day by Anthony Eden, British
foreign secretary, and Pierre -Etienne
Flandin, the French foreign minister.
Sanctions Experts to Meet.
The Committee of 49," intrusted
with the application of sanctions, now
will suspend its sittings until the re-
plies come in from Rome and Adds
Ababa.
However, on the motion of Eden, a
group of sanctions experts will sit con-
stantly for an uninterrupted study Of
details on the possible application of
further sanctions, including an oil en-
barge against italy.
The text of the appeal follows:
"The Committee of 13, acting under
the mandate which the Council in
trusted to 1t by its resolution of De-
cember 10, addresses pressing ap-
peal to the two belligerents toward
the immediate opening of negotiations
within the framework of the League
of Nations and the spirit of the cove
nant, with view to the prompt cessa-
tion of hostilities and the definite re-
establishment of peace.
The Committee of 13 will meet
March 10 to take note of the replies

Informed Italian sources said Pre-
mier Mussolini was prepared to weigh
carefully the peace offer, despite the
threat of oil sanctions, as the Leagues
conciliation efforts embarked on their

KANSAS SECURITY
PLAN THROWN OUT
Security Board Says 1t Does
Not Meet Rules for
Federal Help.
BY tht Associated Press.

BY tht Associated Press.
The Social Security Board advised
Kansas today that the States plans
for old-age assistance, aid for de-
pendent children and aid for the blind
did not meet requirements for Federal
help.
John G. Winant, board chairman,
made known the ruling in letter to
John G. Stutz, executive director of
the Kansas Emergency Relief Com
mittee. Among other objections to the
Kansas plan. Winant said an executive
order by Gov. ALI M. Landon docs not
give supervisory powers to the Kansas
Emergency Relief Committee with re-
spect to funds supplied by counties"
Winant's letter said, in part:
THE plans submitted by you are not
in accordance with the provisions of
the social security act designed to
encourage the establishment on a
Statewide basis, and not on county,
option basis, of new forms of public
assistance, usually called pensions, to
supplant, so far as possible, the older
types Of poor relief.
Counties Could Refuse.
''These conclusions are based upon
the information you furnished the
board. You stated very frankly that
a county would have the right to de-
cline to participate in the State plan
and instead elect to furnish public
assistance to all needy individuals, in
cluding the aged, dependent children
and the blind, in the form of grocery
orders, supplies and other necessaries,
rather than In the form of money
payments.
"You also stated that the execu-
tive order of the Governor dated De-
cember 20, 1885, does not give SUI
pervisory powers to the Kansas
Emergency Relief Committee with re-
spect to funds supplied by the coun-
ties.
"Since the plans as submitted pro-
vide that the funds for granting as
sistance and which could be used
for matching Federal funds will have
to be supplied by the counties, 1t
follows that the executive order does
not give the Kansas Emergency Re-
lief Committee supervisory powers
with respect to a very substantial
part of the State program"
Emphasizes Three Sections.
Winant emphasized three sections
Of the social security act with which,
he said, the Kansas plans did not
comply:
"U That a State plan shall pro-
vide that 1t shall be in effect in all
political subdivisions of the State,
and, if administered by them, be man
datory upon them
"(2) That assistance to the aged
aid to dependent children, and aid
to the blind shall consist Of money
payments. ....-,
"(3) That there shall be a single
State agency to supervise the admin
istration Of the plan."

message follows:
To the Congress of the
Il rJY,itod CtoteS.

TINE text of the Presidents
message follows:
To the Congress of the
u United States:
On January 3, 1886, in my an
nual budget message to the Con-
gress, I pointed out that without
the item for relief the budget was
in balance. Since that time an
important item of revenue has
been eliminated through deci-
sion of the Supreme Court. and an
additional annual charge has been
placed on the Treasury through
the enactment of the adjusted
compensation payment act.
I said in my budget message:
"s the many legislative acts
creating the machinery for recov-
cry were all predicated on two in
terdependent beliefs. First, the
measures would Immediately cause
a great increase in the annual ex-
penditures of the Government
many of these expenditures, how
ever. in the form of loans which
would ultimately return to the
Treasury. Second, as a result of
the simultaneous attack on the
many fronts I have indicated, the
receipts of the Government would
rise definitely and sharply dur
ing the following few years, while
greatly increased expenditure for
the purposes stated, coupled with
rising values and the stopping of
losses would, over period of years,
diminish the need for work relief
and thereby reduce Federal ex-
penditures. The increase in rev.
enues would ultimately meet and
pass the declining cost of relief.
This policy adopted in the
Spring of 1888 has been confirmed
in actual practice by the Treasury
figures of 1884, Of 1885, and by
the estimates for the fiscal years
of 1886 and 1897.
No Doubt Of Soundness
OF Policy Of 1888.
There is today no doubt of the
fundamental soundness of the pol
icy of 1888. If we proceed along
the path we have followed and

CO. STOCK
INFLATED 60 PCT.
Probers Told Huge Write-up
by Alabama Was for
Rate Making.
BY REX COLLIER.

The Alabama Power Co. inflated its
capitalization 60 per cent for rate
making purposes by "capitalizing
hopes and anticipated profits. instead
of actual physical properties" the
Senate Lobby Committee brought out
today, as it opened a new line of
inquiry into activities of the power
industry.
Testimony to this effect was OBJ
tanned by the committee from Victor
A. Dorsey, Chicago appraiser of pub
lie utility properties. The Alabama
company is a subsidiary of Common
wealth g. Southern. Preferred stock
holders of the Alabama company filed
the recent T. v. A. suit in the Su-
preme Court.
Typical of Industry.
Chairman Black pointed out that
the Alabama concerns 60 per cent
"write-up" of its capitalization is
typical of the power industry. Dor

Quoting from his budget message
statement that "the increase in rev.

velt said:
If we are to maintain this clear
cut and sound policy, it is incumbent
upon us to make good to the Federal
Treasury both the loss of revenue
caused by the Supreme Court decision
and the increase in expenses caused
by the adjusted compensation pay
ment act
Il emphasize that adherence to con.
sistent policy calls for such action"
The Chief Executive said he was
leaving Ito the discretion of Con-
gress' the formulation of appropriate
taxes. But he invited the attention
| of Congress to "a form of tax which
would accomplish an important tax
reform, remove two major inequalities
in our tax system and stop leaks in
present surtaXes."
Graduated Levy Proposed.
Mr.. Roosevelt then proposed the AK
on undistributed corporate incomes
graduated and so fixed as to yield ap-
proximately the same revenue as would
be yielded if corporate profits were
distributed and taxed in the hands of
stockholders

specific rate, but said the Treasury
would submit estimates by which the
desired yield could be realized. 1t
