SANDER" He insisted that such state
ments be stricken from the Record.
When the crowd applauded, Kennedy
threatened to clear the room.
Fetty's testimony chiefly was q
repetition of earlier statements he has
made since the teaching controversy
began last Fall.
Wed better buy one-way tickets, "
he said, "for George Jones and DR..
Ballou If we hope to clean up the
schools"
Controls Held Unsuccessful.
Representative Brewster asked Fetty
for a precedent in American history
under which legislative prohibitions
have accomplished the intended pur-
poses. He could cite none.
If controls of this kind had been
practiced 300 or 400 years" Brewster
said, I'VE probably would have no
American freedom such as we have
today. Isn't that true?"
Fetty agreed that I'VE would not
have freedom of speech"
Then shall we use the methods of
the inquisition or shall we attempt to
use reason?"
Il don't blame the School Board for
the methods used. DR.. Ballou and Mr..
Jones are responsible Now they teach
half the truth about Communism.
They ought to teach all the truth"
Kennedy then asked if Fetty's COM

Jones rather than at the Sisson bill.
He said 1t was, but insisted since teach

DETECTIVES GUARD
DEMPSEY'S CHILD
Steps Taken by Atlantic
City Police on "Tip" of
kidnapping Threat.
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March g.
Officers investigated today an anony-
nous tip" purporting to disclose
plot to kiG1ap Jack Dempseys 49,
month"; old daughter Joan Hannah.
Whether the tip" was accurate.
the officers were unprepared TO say.
Acting Capt of Detectives James
Farley asserted. 1T is probably the
work OF a crank"
The child, however, was placed
under guard at a hotel here where
she is staying with her mother.
Farley said that "rumors to the
effect" that Dempsey and a friend had
received post cards from an anony-
nous writer warning of a kidnapping
plot against Joan were being investi-
| gated.
"As soon as we heard about it,
Farley said, we detailed couple of
our men to the CPresidentl hotel
where the little girl is staying with
| her mother"
LAS far as we've been able to find
out" Farley added. there's nothing
to the report. 1t is probably the work
of crank"
While Farley was reluctant to dis
cuss the case further, he said he had
heard "rumors" that Federal men
were investigating From other
sources it was learned that two De-
partment of Justice agents had been
sent to this city at the instance of
local police and were making a search
ing inquiry into the origin of the
alleged plot.
| Left Because Of Strike.
| Mrs. Dempsey. the former Hannah
Williams, Broadway show girl, and
Joan have been at the hotel since
Friday. Dempsey, it was learned, has
established temporary residence here
for the duration Of the service en-
ployes' strike in New York.
| 1t Is understood that Dempsey
wanted to spare his wife the effort
of walking up and down the steps at
| the New York Hotel where they had
been residing during the present tie
up of elevator service. The former
champion has been committing to New
York, where he has business interests.
The Dempseys have refused to dis
cuss the threats and in Washington
the Department of Justice declined
comment Capt. Farley indicated that
police reticence in the matter was
motivated largely by desire to avoid
alarming Mrs. Dempsey, who is an ex-
pectant mother.
Post Gard Sent to Dempsey.
! It was learned that Dempsey re-
| ceived the post card in New York,
warning him that the writer had over
heard two Polish gentlemen" plan
ming to kidnap Joan. A card bearing
similar warning was received by a
friend of Dempsey here. The cards
bore Atlantic City post marks.
Dempsey. 1t was learned, imme-
diately sent personal bodyguard
from New York to be near his wife
and child.
Hotel authorities would not discuss
the case. The Dempseys occupy a
Sumptuous suite in the hostelry, which
is located on Albany avenue on the
main highway connecting the resort
with the mainland.

CUTTEN sPURNs COMPROMISE
Near Death, Orders Counsel TO Give
No Ground


CHICAGO. March (P).-Attorneys
for Arthur w. Cutten, widely known
grain speculator, said yesterday that
although their client was lying at
deaths door" he refused a Govern
ment offer to compromise charges of
income tax evasion and insisted on
fighting efforts to indict him.
Because his integrity is being i'm
pugned," Lawyers Orville j. Taylor
and Francis X Busch declared Cutten
had instructed them to give no ground.
Cutten "strenuously denies any civil
or criminal liability" for his alleged
failure to list all his grain pit winnings
on his come tax blank, Taylor and
Busch said in statement.
The offer to compromise the case,
which involves S1200,000 in alleged
unpaid taxes and penalties, was made
Saturday by United States District
Attorney Michael L. Igoe after he
had been advised of Cutten's critical
illness, the statement said.
The conference was arranged at the
lawyers request while Igoe was pre-
senting a score of witnesses to Fed
eral grand jury he had asked to indict
the grain trader.

EXTENSION SOUGHT
FOR HOME LOANS
New Administration Bill Will
Cut Insurance Amount in
Half, However.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An administration bill extending
the temporary home modernization
loan program of the housing act, but
cutting In half the amount of insur-
ance the Government will provide on
such loans, was introduced today in
Senate and House.
Offered by Chairmen Fletcher and
Steagall Of the Banking Committees,
the measure would extend the au-
thority for insuring private five-year
loans up to $4,000 for residences and
up to $50,000 for business properties
from April l to December 81, 1896.
Maximum insurance liability of the
Housing Administration would be re-
duced from 100000, 900 to $100, ,O00,-
600 and the Government insurance in
individual cases cut from 20 per cent
to 10 per cent.
Only for Alterations.
The bill provides that the insured
private residence repair and modern
ization loans of $4,000 or less could be
made only for financing alterations
upon improved real property by the
owners, or by lessees who have leases
expiring not more than six months
after the loan maturity.
This would eliminate insurance on
loans for household equipment, which
does not become permanent part
of the property, such as refrigerator-.
washers, ironers and similar equip
ment not built in. Wiring, heating
and plumbing system repairs. how
ever would be eligible for insured
loans
The legislation also would eliminate
loans to monthly tenants. which are
permitted under existing law.
Not Made in Volume.
AS to continuance Of the $4,000
limit on insured loans for purchase
and installation of equipment and
machinery for business property, an
official explanation said it was con-
Sidered only fair" because such loans
were not being made in any volume
until last November and generation
of employment is larger, in proportion
to the money expended, through i'm
provement to business than to home
properties"
Regarding the proposed reduction
of total Government commitments.
the official statement said:
This reduced sum Is considered
ample to insure the loans which may
be made from April l through De-
cember 81 at the new rate of 10 per
cent of the aggregate amount; it also
| released $l0O000,0O0 of committed
funds and reduces the Government S
contingent obligations by that amount" ."
Section 8 of the housing acts
temporary provisions would be re-
pealed This authorized the house
administrator to advance money tc
/ insured financial institutions on the
security of insured obligations.

ACT
TEST IS ADVANCED
Argument Before u. S. Su-
preme Court May Start
This Afternoon.
BY JOHN H. CLINE.

The Supreme Court today cleared
the way for a test of the constitu-
tionality of the securities Exchange
act.
The case, brought by J. Edward
Jones, New York securities dealer,
had been set for argument tomorrow
but 1t was believed 1t might be reached
late this afternoon, since the justices
announced only one opinion when they
convened at noon.
The court also agreed to review the
validity Of Government order barring
Arthur w. Cutten, Chicago grain
trader, from participating in any
marketing activity for two years for
alleged violation Of the grain futures
act. This order has been set aside
by the Circuit Court of Appeals at
Chicago.
Lower Court Ordered.
The opinion announced by the id8-
tices reversed a lower court order
denying the Treasury the right tc
sue for possession of the proceeds
from the sale of 146,157 gallons OF
alcohol seized as contraband in 1882
In an opinion by Justice Brandeis,
the court held the Government re-
quest for possession of the proceeds
OF the sale should be adjudicated by
the lower court. The latter had ruled
that the petition could not be enter
tanned because the Government had
failed to raise the question of taxes
when 1t filed its condemnation pro-
ceedings against the alcohol.
The suit against the Securities Ex-
change Commission followed a re-
fusal by that body to permit Jones to
withdraw an issue of securities he
had filed for approval of the COM
mission.
Board Ruling Expected.
A ruling by the Supreme Court Is
expected next Monday IN an appeal
by Sam Beard, Washington gambling
leader. and II associates from their
convictions in District Supreme Court
last year on charges of violating the
gaming laws. The appeal involves the
| right of the Government to introduce
evidence obtained by tapping tele-
phone wires leading into a gambling
establishment allegedly operated by
the defendant.
The validity of the Guffey act tc
regulate the soft coal industry through
a code system will be debated Wednes-
day and Thursday. Two other New
Deal cases are expected to be ap-
pealed here soon from the Circuit
Court OF Appeals at Charlotte, N. C.
They involve constitutionality of
the utility holding company control
act and the right of the Government
to furnish P w A. funds for publicly
owned hydro~electric projects. Deci-
sions in these are possible before the
court quits for the Summer in early
| June.
The securities act will be assailec
during the arguments by James M
Beck, former solicitor general, ane
Harry o. Glasser of Enid. Okla. They
represent J. Edward Jones, New Yorl
operator, who unsuccessfully chal.
lenged the legislation in lower courts
