Would Determine Policy.
In his letter of appointment to
Ickes. President Roosevelt outlined the
purpose Of the five-man group as fol-
lows:
Power from the Bonneville project
will be available for distribution this
year. Therefore, legislation Is i'm
mediately necessary. At the same
time. it is highly advisable that such
legislation conform to national
power generating, transmitting and
distributing policy, such policy to be
uniform as far as practicable or ad-
viSable. This does not mean identical
rates in every part of the country. but
it does mean uniformity of policy
This policy once established will apply
to existing projects. such as Boulder
Dam and portions of the T. v. A. and
to all new power developments as they
are completed during the next few
years.
Instead Of asking the National
Power Policy Committee OF last year
to reconvene, am asking you to serve

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Committee investigating
campaign spending disclosed today II
was considering recommendation for
q law to halt political contributions by
labor unions.
Such legislation would cut OF .

Tentative recommendations, drafted
by Chairman Lonergan, suggested that
labor organizations and other groups"
formed primarily for non-political pur-
poses should be included among those
prohibited from making contributions
to political campaign funds"
His proposals include:
!. A 81 ,000, 900 limit on expenditures
by any party in a presidential cam
paign.
2. A s25, 900 limit on individual con-
tributions.
3. A permanent congressional COM

Withdrawal Hardships.
DIR. Morgan says that it would be

for municipalities now served by them

BOY HALTS TRUCKS
FILLED WITH GOLD
Part of S120, 900, 900 Ship.

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January "a badly
frightened little boy of 13 inadvent-
emily halted part of heavily armed
convoy Of $l20 900. 900 in United States
Treasury gold last night.
Bewildered by the scream Of police
sirens as the line Of trucks was about
to enter Pennsylvania station. where
the bullion was entrained for the Gov
ernment's new vaults at Fort Knox,
KY, he ran into the side of a passing
car.
Traffic, including four gold-laden
trucks, halted. Alert Treasury agents.
postal inspectors and police stood
waiting for suspicious move.
But 1t was only little Jerome Char
mak's tears that required attention,
and an ambulance surgeon wiped them
away and sent him to his home.
Shipment Of First Of Several.
The shipment was the first Of 81
600 100000 worth which will be sent
from the United States assay office
here to Fort Knox between now and
May /.
The special 10-car train on which
the gold is being shipped, five of the
cars containing soldiers, was sched-
uled to leave early today.
Transport Of the gold in mail trucks
from the assay Office to the station
two miles away took several hours.
The trucks. with a postal inspector
carrying a rifle sitting beside each
driver, travelled in groups of four,
each truck laden with twelve 500
pound boxes of gold bars.
surrounding each quartet of trucks
were six police motor cycles with an
armed officer in each sidecar; with
them were four police radio cars with
two armed officers in each, and be-
hind travelled two cars, one contain
ing postal inspectors and the other
G-men, all armed with rifles.
Police Hide in Buildings.
Twenty New York police detectives
were hidden In buildings around the
station and so soldiers from the Gov
ernors Island Barracks in New York
Harbor surrounded the train.
Despite the elaborate protective
measures, few civilians in and around
the station were aware of the move
ment. The trucks unloaded at a
side ramp of the building and the
gold train was on an obscure track.
1t was learned unofficially that 40
truckloads of the gold will be ship
ped from here every Monday and
Thursday until the transfer is COM
pleted.

ARMS GUT PLAN
FAILS TO EXCITE
Nations Cannot See Any
Connection With War
Debts.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 19.-The United
States three greatest debtors, Britain.
France and Italy, through official
spokesmen, said yesterday reduction OF
armaments was impossible regardless
of whether America cut down their war
Indebtedness to her.
The indicated plainly they saw no
connection between their often de-
faulted debts to the United States and
their expanding ornaments programs.
They saw no chance for reduction
OF ornaments.
They pointed out that in none of
their budgets Is there any provision
for resuming payments to the United
States.
Reasons Advanced.
Here are the reasons given by Off
cial spokesmen for the impossibility
Of scaling down armaments programs:
Great Britain has alloyed her armed
strength to decline to the danger point.
Her present effort to build up her
naval and aviation strength Is abso-
lutely necessary so she can command
respect in her efforts to promote peace.
France will reduce ornaments If
Germany does-and for no other rea-
son.
Italy thinks the situation in Europe
Is so complicated that in spite of her
wish to reduce ornaments and her
realization that they are running the
budgets of most nations. it is not pos
sible to contemplate reduction Of war
preparations. The best that can be
hoped for is limitation of armalnents.
There has been recurrent talk in the
three capitals of asking the United
States to cut down the war debts. but
there has been nothing tangible in this
regard since Great Britain made the
last token" payment to the United
States in 1888.
An italian spokesman struck the
keynote with this statement:
The United States could do a
great deal to persuade Europe to re-
duce armaments not so much by re-
ducing debts as by better compre-
hending our difficulties"
This spokesman continued with an
explanation-with which Britain and
France probably would not agree
"As far as Italy is concerned this
means better understanding the diff
ference between Fascism and Com
munism, not coupling the two to-
gether as equally dangerous"
1t was obvious, however, that all
three governments would like to see
the United States take some part in
European affairs.
Britain never has named any spe-
cific power whose war preparations
were responsible for her own rearma-
ment campaign, but she has said she
would protect France and Belgium
against "unprovoked aggression"
This position has been re-empha-
sized significantly recently.
Spokesman in both Rome and Paris
pointed out that Germany, which is
without war debt problem, is among
the leaders in rearmament. France
will not disarm until Germany does,
while the Reich is basing its arms
program partly on the fact of Soviet
RuSsia's rearmament.
The time for arms reduction, said
these spokesmen, was when Germany
was still weak.
Today Italy feels she must keep up
with Germany, which, although now
q powerful friend, some day might
be an equally formidable enemy.

Letters to the Editor
A Busy Business

Dear SIR
After three years of repeal the
bcotlegger is still active.
Between Is and so per cent of the
liquor consumed in this country is
illegally sold.
Agents of Federal Alcohol Tax
Unit last year seized 1880 stills.
Within six months there were 10000
violations of the law requiring regis
tered stamps on liquor containers and
forbidding the refilling of bottles.
Such were statements made recent
ly by Luther Gulick, director of the
Institute of Public Administration, an
endowed, non-profit making scientific
research organization affiliated with
Columbia University. He stated that
the bootlegging business had been as
highly organized since repeal as il
was during prohibition.
When the Maintenance of large
stills becomes too hazardous, the in
vestigators found, the bootlegger en-
courages both city jewellers and farm
ers to set up small stills and collec-
ton system is inaugurated.
Wide spread unemployment, it was
remarked, has contributed enormous
ly to illicit distilling on small scale
by persons who can make precar-
ious living at it.
Although a majority of licensed
the law, violators are known to be
Observation-Disclosures en- en- cmcn
numerous. All dealers have to be
watched asserted the report.
The legalizing of liquor selling was
in way great boon to the boot
logger. Formerly he had to deal with
a great number Of consumers anG
with speakeasies. He was exposed al
many points and had to pay large
sums for the protection of his outlaw
ed business. Now the business in
which he is engaged is not outlawed;
