For three hours yesterday afternoon
both sides fired q final barrage Of
oratory for and against recommittal
of the bill. When the roll was called
~ Democrats joined with IA Repub-
licans and 2 Farmer-Laborites for re-
committal, q total of 43. The motion
was beaten by IS Democrats, Pro-
gressives and independent.
In the closing minutes Of debate
Majority Leader Barkley Of Kentucky
and Senator Byrnes both announced
they would resign from the Reorgani-
zation Committee If the recommittal
motion carried. Mr.. Barkley pre-
dicted recommittal would mean death
of the bill, not only for this session,
but for long time to come.
Senator Byrnes said that If the bill
was recommitted he would suggest
that the chair turn the committee over
to the Republican leader, Senator Nc
Nary Of Oregon. Looking across the
aisle toward Mr.. McNary, Senator
Byrnes added:
He commands a small group, but

NEW YORK, March 79.-Ossip
CARRIER, 40, Russian-born photog.
rapher, acknowledged In the police
lineup today he was acquainted with
Adolph A. Rubens, whose disappear.
ance in Moscow several months ago
precipitated an international spy ring
inquiry.
CARRIER denied, however, that he
had conspired with others not yet
arrested" to obtain fraudulent pass
ports. the charge on which he was
arrested last night at the direction Of
the United States Attorneys once.
He said he was a naturalized cit
izen OF this country, having taken out
his papers in Springfield, Mass. He
said he had lived in Massachusetts, ~
years.
CARRIER was seized in connection
with an investigation of the manner
in which Rubens and his wife entered
Russia with passports made out to
Mr.. and Mrs. Donald L. Robinson"
A high police oficial said CARRIER
also was suspected Of having taken
photographs for many aliens who trav-
eled to Spain and Russia in recent
months under false passports.
Postal Inspector Hall Kinsley made
the arrest with the aid Of member
of the city alien squad, on the order,
he said. Of a United States attorney.
Authorities investigating reports Of
a fake passport mill" here learned
the Robinsons-later identified Is Mr..
and Mrs. Rubens-obtained four pass

day, by a close vote of 40 to ~, was
preceded by final effort Of the oppo-
sition to send the bill back to COM
mittee for further study, which failed
by an even closer vote, 48 to 43.
On recommittal, which furnished
the real test of opposing forces} a
change of three votes would have
sent the measure back to committee.
On final passage the administration
made a gain Of one, when Senator
Bulkley of Ohio, who had voted to re-
commit, went on record for the bill.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina then sought to embody the
entire Senate measure in the Warren
bill. passed by the House last year,
which would have given the House
chance to send the entire subject to
conference without previous reference
to the House committee.
The Warren bill, however, dealt
only with the general reorganizing
powers of the President and the new
Department of welfare Senate op-
ponents promptly prepared to resume
the verbal battle against this proce-
dure, feeling that it might preclude
the House from voting separately on
some phases of the Senate plan that
have never been acted on in the House.
For example, the proposals to SUBJ
stitute single administrator for the
Civil Service Commission, and to abol-
ish the controller generals ONCE have
never been voted on in the House.
1t is understood Senator Clark, DEM
ocrat, of Missouri was considering Of
fering the anti-lynching bill as an
amendment If the Senate reorganiza-
ton plan had been attached to the
Warren bill.
Senator Byrnes later withdrew his
motion to take up the Warren bill,
and the Senate's five-point program
went to the House As separate meas
ure. In the closing days Of debate
Senator'S received appeals for further
hearings, in connection with the mo-
ton to recommit, and it Is possible re-
quests for new hearings may confront
the measure when 1t reaches the
House committee.
In any event, passage Of the Senate
bill separately instead Of making it an
amendment to q House measure in
sures. the House an opportunity to
consider and offer amendments to all
phases Of the subject.
Senator Byrnes said last night he
was in favor of that course. He also
explained that he gave up the plan
to amend the House bill because he
learned that the resolution creating

S. f. c. HEAD ASKED
. TO TESTIFY ON TAX
Douglas Is Scheduled to
Appear Tomorrow at
Senate Hearing,
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Acting swiftly In consequence OF
yesterdays Supreme Court decision
validating the Public Utility Holding
Company Act, the Senate Finance
Committee today invited William O.
Douglas, chairman of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, to appear
before It, tomorrow with tentative
amendments calculated to lessen the
prohibitive tax load on such concerns
expected to liquidate under the death
sentence"
The decision to include in the pend
ing measure some relief provision for
companies forced to dissolve eventually
under the holding company law, plus
a deadlock which developed this morn
ing over the advisability of including
excise taxes on importations in the
revenue bill, will serve to delay COM
pletion Of the Senate committee draft.
A night session of the committee will
be held tonight, however, with Mr..
Douglas and his aides scheduled to
appear at $50 am. tomorrow.
Chairman Harrison said he hopes to
finish the task tomorrow.
The snarl over excise taxes which
would supplement tariffs now in eff
feet developed despite the appearance
Of Secretary of State Hull and Secre-
tary sof Agriculture Wallace to urge
the committee not to include such
levies in the present bill.
Disapproving = House provision
which would place an excise tax OF s
cents per pound on imports Of pre-
pared pork and cents per pound on
fresh pork imports. Secretary Wallace
argued that the foreign competition
now being feared is temporary in char
acter and not really competitive in
that it is a luxury priced type of meat
Similar arguments were presented
by the Secretary in connection with a
proposal Of Senator O'Mahoney, Dem
ocrat. of Wyoming, that new excise
tax Of 3 cents per pound be added to
the present 6-cent tariff on canned
beef imports
Secretary Hull likewise opposed the
two proposed excises, citing the poten-
tial danger to the administrations re-
ciprocal trade treaty program.
Although the whole issue has been
pending since the committee under
took the study Of the bill, the division
of opinion was such that Chairman
Harrison, himself opposed to including
the excises. postponed the taking Of q
final committee vote.

YATER QUESTIONS
MEDICAL THEORIES
Kober Lecturer at G. U.
Doubts Goiter Link to
Heart Failure.

A close association between the con-
dition known as exothalmic goiter-an
enlargement of the thyroid gland
which causes the eyes to be pro-
truded from their sockets-and heart
failure was questioned by DR.. Wal
lace M. Yater, professor Of medicine
at Georgetown University Medical
School, in the annual Kober lecture
given last night.
Such an association has been
widely assumed in medicine. The
thyroid gland enlargement causes a
great increase in secretion into the
blood stream of thyroxin, the chemi-
cal which speeds up all physiological
processes of living. The heart Is
obliged to pump more blood to sup
ply oxygen for this faster life. Finally.
according to the old theory. it coll
lapses from overwork. Actually deaths
from congestive heart failure often
have accompanied other manifesto
tions Of exothalmic goiter.
Reports Research on Animals.
In his lecture last night DR.. Yater
reported for the first time original re-
search work on animals at the George
town laboratories. This indicates that,
at least in youth, the heart is not
seriously effected by the enlarged
thoro ye anfhf~N IN
cidentally wrong with it. Normaly,
DR.. Yater stressed, the heart is speeded
by exertion which also demands more
oxygen in the tissues of the body.
This can be carried to them only
through the blood
The same thing happens because Of
the increased thyroid secretion, but is
Offset by various compensations. Exo-
thalmic goiter is almost always at
tended by feeling of great weakness
on exertion. Consequently the victim
is restrained from any great effort
which would put on extra strain on
the heart The tissues of the heart
also are speeded up by the extra thy
roid.
Many Scientists Invited.
DR.. Yater spoke before large rep
resentation of the Medical Society of
the District and many invited SCI
entists in CASTOR Hall, at George
town. It was the Executive Commit
tee of the Medical Society that nomi-
mated him as this years lecturer under
the terms Of the endowment provided
in 1920 by the late DR.. George Martin
Kober.

He said he carried it in his car for
protection" and could not explain its
presence on the street.
After leaving his wife, Lands re-
turned to the flrehouse and slipped
into bed unobserved. Later Sergt.
Barrett telephoned and asked Lands
to come to the hospital and identify
a dying woman believed to be his wife.

The detective. told the jury he later
went to the precinct with Lands and
found a .45-caliber automatic pistol
and a police baton in the flreman's
automobile. There was no ammuni-
ton for the gun in the car. Sergt.
Barrett testified there were several
spots of what appeared to be blood on
the front seat Of the car and large
splashes Of the same substance on the
right running board.
Wounds Described.

DR.. Young replied that the injuries
were of different nature from those
received in automobile accidents.

G.. o. p. Misses Chance
One of the angles to the whole
anti-lynching debate which has
aroused wide comment is the at
titude which was taken by the re-
publican senators under the leader
ship Of Minority Leader Charles
L. McNary.. The republicans, from
their party platforms of many
years standing, were committed to
an anti-lynch.ng bill and pledged
10 its enactment whenever possible.
The republican bloc announced
that it was in favor of the Wagner
Van Mugs measure and would vote
for it when it came to the floor
with the exception of Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho.
Yet when the first vote for clo-
ture was taken on January q, af-
ter it had become plain from three
weeks of filibustering that the clo-
ture was the only means of bring
ing the bill to a vote, the republi-
cans refused to vote for eloture.
In explaining this action, sena-
tor McNary stated that his group
was unwilling to vote for limitation
of debate. He mentioned that tn,
