crease in the number of nurses and
other workers.
Senator Thomas earlier yesterday
had thrown cold water on the Gal
linger plea for more employees with
the statement that his committee
was told by the Budget Bureau that
of 476 positions at the hospital, only
40l had been filled.
DR.. Bocock took issue with this
declaration and replied that every
place is filled for which there is
money to pay the salaries.
Senator Copeland also stated
after the meeting that some of
the positions included in the 476
total are only paper jobs" DR.. Bo-
cock said he would not be surprised If
the paper records would show as many
as 476 positions had been created from
time to time, but to show that he has
no idle funds available. he called at
tention to an impending deficit Of
about 5000 now facing the institution
for the remaining two months of the
fiscal year. He estimated his present
force at about 450.
Street Undisturbed.
Director Elwood Street of the Public
Welfare Department was not at all
disturbed over Senator Thomas
claim.
ANY hospital that is rs per cent
occupied is running to normal capac-
ity," Street said.
Street pointed out that it would be
most unfavorable and dangerous for
every bed in Gallinger Hospital to be
occupied, leaving no provision for
emergencies.
He added it was unreasonable to
expect the hospital to have every bed
occupied at this time. Senator Thomas
ought to know. he said, that Gallinger
is operated for male and female, white
and colored patients and that while
subdivisions of the hospital would be
crowded there would be many avail
able spaces in other divisions.
With the advent of Spring and q
decrease in respirational cases, he
said, the present number of patients
is smaller than any other month this
| year.

HOUSE BROADENS
TOWNSEND PROBE
Representative Hoffman
Will Check Political Ac-
tivities in Michigan.

Deciding to throw one Of Its several
spotlights on the political activities
of the Townsend old-age pension
organization, the House committee in
Vestigating the movement has asked
Representative Hoffman, Republican.
OF Michigan, to check on such
practices in his State.
With the possible exception of Cali
fornia, Michigan has been a center of
more political activity by the Town
sendites than any other State. Con-
crete evidence of their effectiveness
came in the 1884 elections when
Representative Main, Republican, was
elected on fat Townsend platform.
During open hearings nearly two
weeks ago, Representative Hoffman
sharply questioned Robert E. Clements,
retiring national official of the Town
send organization, about political
policies in Michigan. Both Clements
and DR.. Francis E. Townsend made
personal appearances there during the
1884 campaign, it was admitted.
Hoffman said this morning, how
ever, that he will not be able to go to
Michigan in person in the near future
but that he would approve sending a
committee investigator up there in
advance.
With principal activities Of the
committee now centering on the
Pacific Coast where Representatives
Gavagan and Collins and Counsel
James r. Sullivan are beginning an
intensive probe of pension practices
out there, the committee is doing little
work here. Chairman Bell, Democrat,
of Missouri, is in Kansas City this
week.

"When were you a farmer?"
Before going to Harvard and after

Where was the farm?"
'Near Kennebunk, Me"
| "Kenne-what? B-u-n-k?"

There was general laughter.

economics at two universities and hao

other industrial concerns.
He said the league provided him

studies of the Triple A."

funds for the council, Morse declared
heatedly:
I'VE didn't care where the money
came from, as long as there were nc
strings attached to the money. And
we intend to continue that policy In
program"
He offered to show the committee
later a draft of new farm program
the council has drawn up.
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat
of Washington read a letter in which
Morse told client that the councils
purpose was to destroy the New Deal
In explaining why most of the money
given the council came from wealthy
men, Morse said it was useless to try
cause they haven't got any"
I'VE believe elimination of the New
Deal is essential to recovery of the
farmers" he stated.

CONTROVERSY HOT

cism by Mortgage Bank
ers' President.

The air between Washington and
Louisville was blue today with angry
words passed between Stewart Nc
Donald, administrator Of the F. H. A.,
and L. A. Mclean, president of the
Mortgage Bankers Association OF
America.
According to Mcdonald, Mclean is
"chief spokesman Of dwindling group
of mortgage lenders whose unsound
methods helped precipitate the real
estate debacle of 1892"
Fees Termed "Exorbitant."
Mclean, who is an officer of the
Southern Trust Co. of Louisville, had
told the members of his association
that F. H. A. appraisal fees were "ex-
orbitant" and that if similar fees were
collected by private institutions it
might appear to many to be a racket
of some sort"
If appraisal fee income to the F.
H. A. were eliminated. he added, op-
Grating expenses would be stagger-
ing" in comparison with operating in
come. He also asserted the F. H. A.
and the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
have gotten together and the Gov
eminent is now in the (home mort
gage business"
Return to 'Buccaneering" Seen.
In a statement, issued yesterday,
Mcdonald declared that since CON
fidence has been restored" some
lenders now are seeking ito go back
to the old buccaneering system under
which hundreds Of thousands of
worthy citizens were robbed Of their
homes and fleeced Of their life'S
savings"
Mcdonald cited statement by
Robert v. Fleming. president of the
American Bankers Association. which
described F. H A.-insured amortized
mortgage loans as particularly de-
sirable" and said the F. H. A. will

An angry alteration over deletion

Ethiopia Appeals for Help in Treating
Gas Casualties.

LONDON, April IA lP).-The British
government today turned over to the
British Red Cross and two other re.

from the Ethiopian government fol
medicine and physicians to treat poi
son gas casualties.
The Ethiopian appeal said more
than 1000 sufferers were in the most
acute distress from gas poisoning and
that the government was unable to
cope with the situation because of in
sufficient facilities and lack of knowl-
edge for gas treatment.
The British government, it was

Whether to force quick peace in
Ethiopia at the possible risk of start

Europe's key statesmen.

confidence that Italy would lay down
a definite plan for peace, a spokes-

Outside the diplomatic negotiations,
there were Marshal Pietro Badoglio's
reports to Premier Mussolini:

will give ourselves no rest until the
enemy is completely destroyed"
These developments, informed
sources said, precipitated a race be-
tween armistice and annihilation,
raising the question:
Can the league promote quick peace
in the face of what Mussolini's gen.

DR.. Augusta Vasconcellos of Portu-

MusSolinis peace terms proved too
harsh. he would convoke the Sanctions

BRADDOCK REMAINS HUMBLE DESPITE RISE TO FA
Big Names in
Majors Still
Holding Out
Greenberg Among More
Than Fifty Who Refuse
to Sign.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-More than
so major league baseball players
have not signed their contracts. a
check-up by the United Press re-
vealed today. At least half the
group are genuine holdouts.
Among the most stubborn hold
outs are Hank Greenberg, Detroit
Tigers slugger; Augie Galan, fleet
Chicago Cubs outfielder; Arky
Vaughan, Pittsburgh n a ii on a |
League batting champion; Van
Mungo, Brooklyn't ace pitcher; Luke
Appling, Chicago White Sox, Short
stop; Buddy Myer. Washingtons
American League batting champion;
Bob Johnson, Philadelphia Athletics
outfelder; Sam West, st. Louis
Browns outfelder, and the two
Dean boys of the Cardinals.
Greenberg, first baseman of the
World Champion Tigers, perhaps is
the No. / holdout. He performed last
season for salary said TO be about
$500. He indicated early in the
season. that he wanted approx
mately $4,000 The Tigers are I'M
derstood to have offered him a
contract for twice his 1884 salary,
| but he is still dickering for more
money.
The National League champion
Chicago Cubs have signed all of
their players except Augie Galan,
who collected as much from bonuses
in 1855 as he made from his regu-
lar salary.
Tom Yawkey's high-priced Boston
Red Sox, with a pay roll of about
$25o,OOO, has four prominent players
unsigned. They are Third Base
man Bill Werber, Catcher Rick Fer
rell, Pitcher Johnny Marcum and
Inflelder Bob McNair.
The two batting champions, Bud
dy Myer of Washington and Arky
Vaughan of Pittsburgh, have failed
to accept the contracts first offered
them.
