INDEBTEDNESS OF
 WHITNEY co.
(Continued from Page D

ito be more fully familiar with the facts before talking to MT. Whitney. Much Interest Shown
 Great interest continued to be shown here and abroad in the fail uro of the firm, one of the best known brokerage houses in the country, whose senior partner Whitney, executed huge orders for J. P. Morgan & Go. and other large banking institutions.
 President Roosevelt was under stood to have discussed it yesterday during an automobile drive around Washington with Chairman William O. Douglas of the securities and ex- change commission. Private bank ing houses and commercial banks in Wall Street received numerous calls for information from correspond ents abroad.
 At public hearing before Mccall yesterday, Robert J. Rosenthal Whitney cashier testified that "the senior partner" had taken his cus- toners securities without their knowledge. Rosenthal said he thought Whitney pledged these securities as collateral for loans, but added that he would not be cer- tain about it."
 N. Y. Yacht Club Bonds
 It was shown that the New York Yacht club should have bonds valued at $125,000 in safekeeping with the Whitney firm, and that the estate of Ella Haggin Mckee should have 2,000 shares of Homestake Mining company, currently valued at $116,- 900, in the firms vaults. However, Rosenthal testified, these securities were transferred to MT. Whitney's s control account" last January, and were turned over to him "as senior partner, without receipt"
 Questioned, Rosenthal admitted that statements he sent later to the Yacht club and to the Mckee estate would indicate the securities were still in Whitney & Co.,"
 Money Borrowed
 The cashier revealed that Whitney and his five partners borrowed $474,- 900 last January, without security, from J. P. Morgan & Co.,, in which Whitney's brother, George, is a partner. In addition to this un- secured loan, the depleted holdings of the firm were indicated by the filing of 8 deed to Whitneys 499- acre estate at Burnt Mills, in the fox-hunting country of New Jersey, by the New York Trust Company, accompanied by papers showing that he pledged the estate as collateral for a $30O,000 loan last September.
 Rosenthal fixed the partners ob- ligations to the firm only, as fol- lows: Whitney, $611,OO0; Edwin D.. Morgan, Jr, $15,611; F. Kingsley Rodewald, $142,020; Daniel G. Con- don, $70,235; Henry D. Mygatt, $780, 463; and John J. McManus, $68, ,426. On the other hand, he said, the firm owed special partner, the estate of John A. Hayes, $345,638

 Success would further remove government pressure north of Teruel and enable the insurgents at the same time to strike down the Ebro river valley towrad the Mediter- ranean to drive a wedge between Valencia and Barcelona, and cut off Catalonia from the rest of LoyaliSt Spain.
 Strongest Thrust
 The insurgents advanced to with in six miles of Belchite in one of their strongest thrusts and latest advices said these forces still were progressing. The advance was being made both northwest and southwest of Belchite and the Nationalists cap- tured Fupente Todos, Aguilon and Puebla de Alborton. Government forces were rushed up to the front from all sides after rebel troops be. gan their advance behind prepara- tory artillery and aerial lombard ments.

 Offensive OH Center
 Simultaneously, the rebels begar an offensive on the central front capturing positions in the foothills of the Guadarrama mountains, 1T an apparent threat to Madrid.
 Nationalist forces occupied 6,00( foot ridge two miles in length, tht Loyalists admitted. They captured the heights known as Reventor Pass, Malagosto and Risco de Lo!

Before the insur. gents can cross the mountains, how. ever and reach the plains of Quad alajara to menace Madrid, they vii have to dislodge government forces from three higher passes.

KIDNAPER TAKES
 LIFE IN PRISON

Boston, Mrach 10.-(UP).-A third member of the O'Connell Kidnapping gang has committed suicide rather than serve long prison sentence. George Romano, 32, serving 31 to 40 years for the $18,500 United Drug company and $3,0O0 Hathaway Bak- ing company holdups in Massachu- sets, knotted sheet about his neck and hanged himself in his state prison cell yesterday.
 On completing his Massachusetts term, Romano would have been turned over to New York authori- ties to serve a 77-year sentence for Kidnapping John J. O'Connell of AL bany, N. Y, July 2, 1883. A $30,000 ransom subsequently, was paid. Of the seven others convicted of the Kidnapping, Christopher Miller hang ed himself in the Albany jail last Feb. 13, and Francis Oley strang- gled himself with bedsheet at One ida county jail two months later,

port of the secret session, and re- ports spread that Yagoda had con- fessed that his interest in Mime. Peshkov was the real motive for her husbands removal. It had been re- ported previously that he was in love with her.
 Before this secret session, the government had believed that Pehskov was killed because plotters thought his death would weaken Maxim Gorky, the greatest of Bol- shevik writers, and thus make it easier to "liquidate" Gorky.
 Drinks to Excess
 The charge was that the conspir- ators induced Peshkov to drink to excess and then left him, helplessly drunk, to sleep on chill river bank. In Gorky's own case it was alleged that as part of the liquidat ton progress the old man, who had a fondness for bonfiIes, was lured out into the night air to watch them, so that while he became overloaded in front his back was exposed to the cold breezes of night.
 The climatic stage of the long trial approached today. The court was in session, but it was expected that the next open session would not be held till tomorrow.
 Today, it was understood, the court was examining evidence re- garding diplomatic intrigues of the leading defendants, charged with conspiring with German, Japanese, Polish and British agents to dis member the Soviet Union and seize power.

lows:
 There is a serious obstacle to public housing construction in your state and it is for this reason that am writing to you.
 "The U. s. Housing Act of 1897 provides for program of federal loans and subsidies to public agen- cies to aid in the development of a low-rent housing and slum clear ance program. Before any state can participate in this program, it must have adequate legislation authoriz- ing public agencies to undertake low-rent housing projects.
 "The $500,000000 available for eX- penditure by the U. s. Housing au- thority could be spent in the states that now have adequate housing legislation. However, would like to see the State of Connecticut parti- cipate in this program and I am sure that you, too, desire your state to obtain it's share of these funds.
 Must Be Done Quickly
 Tn certain cases, this may not be possible unless amendatory legisla- tion is enacted at an early date en- abling local participation in the de- velopment cost of housing projects undertaken by local public agencies | in Connecticut. Administrator Straus of the U. S. Housing author ity had informed me that the de- Foofc it1 In ovicfiton Tnnnnctin,,t ,t Housing legislation could be cured if the suggested amendments which were recently sent you through the national emergency council were adopted. I hope you will give se- riouS consideration to the early enactment of these amendments in your state. Such legislation would remove obstacles to full participa- tion by Connecticut in a nation wide public program to relieve unemploy- ment through the eradication of un- safe or insanitary housing and the provision of decent housing for families in the lowest income group"
 It Is Very Urgent
 Ill another pOfClOn or ms lettef, the president wrote tha it is ur- gent that action be taken now to stimulate the construction industry particularly in the field of residen- tial building which has Jagged far behind the forms of business activ- ity. An extensive housing program would provide direct and indirect employment at the very point in our economic structure where reemploy- ment seems to have been most re- tarded."
 The amendments to the state act referred to by the president, were believed to propose correction of a provision which permits local hous- ing authorities to sell their bonds on the open market. It was under stood they suggested that state sav- ings banks be allowed to buy the bonds.
 The housing question arose as re- suit of an endeavor by the city oi Bridgeport to launch a $5,000,00C low-rental program. authority fol which was given by the 1886 specia. session of the legislature when tht housing act was approved. The city thus far, has been unable to raise its portion of the financing.

MOONEY BEFORE
 LEGISLATURE

Sacramento, Cal, March 10.-UP) The California Legislature hears the story of Thomas J. Mooney to- day. He was being brought from San Quentin prison, to deny once more that he was guilty of the Prepared ness Day bombing of San Francisco, for which he is serving life. It was expected to be an occasion for new demonstrations by labor and liberal organizations. The gallery of the state assembly seats only 200 per- sons, Police expected to have to deal with a crowd of thousands.
 Most of the legislators were sym pathetic toward Mooney. He was brought here on the order of Will jam Moseley Jones, speaker of the assembly. The purpose was to stir up sentiment in the Legislature in favor of resolutions petitioning Gov Frank T. Merriam to pardon Mooney The hearing was set for special or der of business at 10 a. m. q D. m EST.) The 40 state senators were in- vited to sit with the 80 assembly, men. It was the first time in history that a convicted felon has been brought before the California Legis- lature, the procedure was indefinite read, at the open session, his long summing up-expected to take foul hours or more.
 Next, each of the 21 defendants will be permitted to speak as long as he likes and say anything he wants to say.
 After that the court will retire to consider its verdict, expected tc condemn nearly all, if not all the defendants to death before a firing squad.
