Recovery
Continued From First Page.)

Works Administration for control of
the big new lending program. Sena-
tor Glass was understood to have
favored r. F. c. control because of
the known conservatism of Chairman
Jesse H. Jones
Mr.. Jones discussed the general re-
covery program last night in Radio
Forum speech arranged by The Star
and broadcast by the National Broad
casting Co. In explaining the opera
ton of the new r. F. c. lending pro-
gram, he said his board would not
feel authorized to make loans unless
it appeared the borrower would be
able to pay back the money.
Reaction Of Public.
Meanwhile public reaction to Mr..
Roosevelts recovery proposals was be-
ginning to make itself felt in letters to
Senators and Representatives, al
though many members, recalling the
recent deluge of communications on
the reorganization BILL reported their
mail was not extraordinarily heavy.
Senator Borah, Republican, Of
Idaho, who said he would vote for re-
lief but questioned the advisability Of
a large pump-priming appropriation,
declared all his mail was against re-
newed spending
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, Of Mon
tana, advocate of earmarking public
works funds for irrigation, reclama-
ton and other specific types Of prof.
ects, said he had received no mail on
the subject.
House members will start work on
the relief and public works phases Of
the program tomorrow when Harry
Hopkins, works progress administra-
tor, testifies before the Appropriations
Committee.
Expected to Approve Bill.
The committee is expected to ap-
prove within few days a bill appro-
priating $l.250,O00,0 900 for relief from
July to February /, 1899; $3.50, ,00O,-
600 for public works grants and au-
thority for :$1,oooo00,00O of public

While the total authorization for
public works thus would be 81, ,450, ,ooo-

The recommendation for a $50,000,-

Corps funds, already approved by the
House, was before the Senate today
and apparently was sure Of speedy
passage. The President asked this
sum to prevent the closing Of several
camps in June.
State Highway FUNDS.
Another phase of the recovery pro-
gram was up for consideration in the
House. which was expected to double

IN SURETY CASE
Fleet Corporation Delayed
Bond Default Charges,
Court Rules.

A six-year delay by the United
States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet
Corp. in notifying a surety company
OF its contention that an operator of
several of the corporations ships had
violated the terms Of his fidelity bond
rose up today to bar it from any effort
at this time to recover $4,000 from
the surety concern.
The United States Court of Appeals,
in an opinion written by Chief Justice
Lawrence d. droner, held that the
bonding company, the Aetna Casualty
d Surety Corp, was entitled to no.
tice OF the alleged default within 80
days after 1t was discovered. The
Fleet Corp. waited six years to give
such notice, the court found.
Aetna Denies Default.
The decision turned solely on the
question OF whether notice was re-
quired and did not 60 into the ques-
ton OF whether there actually had
been a default. The, Aetna contends
there actually was no default but
merely dispute over what commits
sions were due Sigsbee Humphrey g.
Co.. Inc. for operation Of a number
OF Fleet Corp. ships.
The Aetna posted a S500,00 fidelity
bond to assure the Fleet Corp. that
the operating company would hon.
estly account to the Fleet Corp. for
all funds coming into its hands.
The Fleet Corp. contended in its
suit filed in District Court in 1881
that the loss occurred because the
New York concern wrongfully appro-
priated money to its own use The
District Court gave Judgment for the
Aetna and the Fleet Corp. appealed.
Finds Notice Delayed.
The appellate court found, how
ever. that the Fleet Corp. was in pos
session Of the evidence of what it
claimed was default near the end
OF 1922, but did not notify the Aetna
until 1928, although the bonds spe-
cif1cally provided that such notice be
given within 80 days
The surety company wasrepresented
by Attorneys Challen B. Ellis and
Kahl K. Spriggs of Washington and
Charles F. Quantrell, New York.

HENDAYE. France Cat the Spanish
Frontier). April l9.-The Barcelona
government moved up all available
troops today to reinforce the American
and other units Of the International
Brigade defending Tortosa, overlooking
the Mediterranean from the south
eastern tip Of Catalonia,
1nsurgent warplanes necessarily
bombed the coastal highway from
Tortosa to Tarragona. midway along
the 95-mile highway to Barcelona, in
an effort to halt the movement of
men and supplies.
Some 10000 government militiamen,
led by veteran foreign units, were fac
ing greatly superior forces across the
tortuous Ebro River from south of
Gandesa to the sea.
The insurgents, fighting their way
to the outskirts of Tortosa last night,
occupied suburbs on the right bank
Of the river and began shelling the
city itself.
The government installed light field
artillery in the low-lying hills back
from the river to dispute the insurgent
crossing.
Government machine-gunners poured
. soaring cross-fire from their pre-
pared line of defense on insurgent ad-
vance guards attempting to establish
bridgeheads.
The government defense was weak
ened, however, by lack of materials.
Since all bridges across the Ebro were
dynamited before the Barcelona troops
fell back, quantities of guns, tanks and
arms were left behind
The general picture of the Catalan
front, from the Pyrenees on the French
border to the Mediterranean, has been
unchanged for several days: while
government resistance held firm in
the center, the insurgents sent both
flanks slowly forward
