in a confident and optimistic mood
as the stock market turned strong
and active and federal agencies
opened flood gates for billions of
dollars for lending and spending.
A week-long up-surge of the

studied by PWA attorneys is one
by Sen. Henrik Shipstead, FL,

100000 old freight cars be de-

rolling stock financed by Ickes'

ROOSEVELT SAYS ARMY AND
NAVY SHOULD HAVE MONEY
WITH WHICH TO FIGHT SPYING
Terms Foreign Activities
in u. S. a Most Seri-
Gus Situation

WASHINGTON, June %. (UP).
President Roosevelt today said
that the army and navy should
have additional funds for, the
purpose of combating espionage
in this country.
The chief executive, comment
ing on the New York spy dis
closures, stated that the intelli-
gence branches of both services
UP to the present time have had
insufficient money with which to
cope with what he termed most
serious situation.
The president before leaving
HYDE Park last night approved
two more important measures,
one creating a civil aeronautics
authority and the other providing
broad amendments to the mer-
chant marine act.
In all, the chief executive act
ed on SIS bills, signing all but
seven, which were vetoed.
The aeronautics bill calls for
an administrator at $4,000 an
nually and five commissioners at
the same salary who will be charg-
ed with promotion and develop
ment of civil aviation as we'll as
its regulation.
All air lines have 120 days to
obtain certificates Of operation.
The commission will have power
to approve mergers, consolida-
tions, interlocking directorates:
Rates for passengers, express and
air mail also will be subject to ap-
proval.
In effect, the commissions
powers over aviation will be not
unlike those of the interstate
commerce commission over the
country's railroads.
The merchant marine measure,
designed to promote the policy
outlined in the act of 1885, au-
thorizes the maritime commission,
among other things, to purchase
vessels for essential routes and
limits the construction differen-
tial to SO percent of the construc-
ton costs.
Mr.. Roosevelt also approved q
bill for an increase in navy Of
ficer personnel over the next five
years, from 6531 to 8249. 1t is

year will be approximately $780,.

SAY COUNTESS

Her Son

\SOPJTiShty 1900, ShttSu ECssI
LONDON, June 24.-(UP)-
Countess Barbara Hutton Haug-
witz-Reventlow is so fearly that
an effort may be made to deprive
her of her two-year-old son Lance
that she may seek to regain her
American citizenship, it was re-
ported today.
An atmosphere of mystery has
surrounded what seemed to be a
crisis in the affairs of the countess
and her handsome Danish hus-
band, Count Court Eaugwitz-Re-
ventlow, who has been in Paris
for several days after a visit to
the south of France.
This atmosphere was cleared to-
day on authority believed to be
unimpeachable. 1t was said that
the countess was acutely afraid
that an attempt might be made to
remove her son from her custody
and from Great Britain. There
were reports that there was a
financial angle also, involving a
desire by the count to see his
wife's fortune invested in Euro
pean rather than in American Sc
curities.
But the principal matter, it was
said, was that the countess re-
ceived threat that her child
would be taken from her. Inform
ants said that she at cnce commu-
nicated with Scotland Yard, ask
ing protection, and at the same
time called in her attorney, w. M.
Mitchell.

ment to mediate.
He prophesied. II was said, that
the time would soon be near when
it might be possible for Britain to
offer itself with" good effect as
mediator. !.r
It was indicated that the cabi-
nets hope was based on belief that
stalemate was most probable In
the Chinese-Japanese war. The
foreign secretary. 1t was said, told
the committee that a deadlock al
ready had been reached for the
moment, and that II 1t continued
it would be :possible-with the cor
dial consent Of Japan as well az
Climate negotiate an honorable
and lasting peace. ~;
The United Press was inform
ed that Lord Halifax. In addition
to his statement on the Chinese
war, made q guarded reference to
the possibility Of cooperation with

Lord Halifax meant thai the gov
eminent held hope that the United
States might join in what he called

Britain was seeking to negotiate

there had suffered what he called

16 AGREE TO WORK
WITH THE NEW DEAL

WASHINGTON, Apr. 27. (UP)
Henry Ford came to the White
House today to discuss the nations
economic crisis with the President.
The Millionaire motor magnate,
severe New Deal critic, arrived at
1855 p. m, accompanied by his
son, Edsel, and w. J. Cameron, Of
fetal Ford Motor company spokes-
man.
WASHINGTON, April q. (UP)
Sixteen Of the nations "blue
chip" industrialists and bankers
yesterday offered Presi dent
Roosevelt conditional cooperation
in his $4,512,O0O,000 anti-depres-
sion drive and pledged themselves
to encourage" his efforts d.
rected at restoring confidence
and normal business conditions"
The chief executive, who is
scheduled to have Henry Ford at
the White House as luncheon
guest, said at his press conference
Immediately following the an
nouncement that he had read a
statement issued by the group, led
by Chairman Owen D. Young of
General Electric, and that he re-
garded it as excellent.
The development came as con-
gressional leaders prepared to
push the pump printing" pro-
gram toward enactment amid
charges that extraordinary prop
uganda is being directed for and
against the legislation by foes and
proponents. :, .-
The business group, all top
flight names in banking and in
dustry, declared its willingness to
fully cooperate with the president
and congress in steps leading to
permanent recovery but did not
mention specifically the pending
lending-spending program.
Announcement of the groups
offer was made by securities ex-
change commission member John
w. Hanes, who said he had con-
tacted the businessmen as an in
dividual seeking to "get the bus
mess train back on the tracks
He denied the White House had
any part in initiating the plan, al
though Mr.. Roosevelt was aware
of it.
Hanes said Young and Chair
man Winthrop Aldrich of Chase

other leader of the group, were
"most helpful" in drafting the
statement, but emphasized that
every member contributed to it.

the common need and aspiration
