'OUSTED Chief
TESTIFIES AS
PROBE OPENS
Alleges Authority Subserv-
lent to Especial
Interests"
SPECIFIC CHARGES
MADE AT INQUIRY

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Dr.
Arthur E. Morgan, ousted Tennes-
see Valley chairman, today charg-
ed before joint, congressional
committee investigating, IVA ac-
tivities that there had been "col-
fusion, conspiracy, and misman-
agement" in the iva administra-
ton and that it had been made
subservient to political and other
special interests"
The. ousted director, who was
removed by President Roosevelt
when he refused to amplify the
charges against co-directors of
IVA, opened his testimony with .
series of charges covering what
he describes as failure of iva
! management to meet the public
trust. ". ~ 2.
= His charges against his former
fellow-directors specifically were
as follows: s
That they were guilty Of mac
curate and misrepresentation re-
ports to the president, congress,
and the public.
Acknowledgement Of the power
program. - -
Lack of caridor in statements to
the congress and the public, con-
corning the power program: VS.
Improper and misleading ac-
counting, reporting and publicity
in reference to the power yard
stick.
Collision, conspiracy and mis-
management in administration.
Subservience to political and
other Especial interests.
DR.. Morgan read to the COM
mittee from prepared statement,
and declared that in the long run
the greatest danger to IVA lies
in improper administration. He
declared that no amount Of oppo-
sition would defeat the purposes
of IVA il it WAS honestly and
soundly managed. But he declared
that q continuation of the present
policies would discredit IVA ana
defeat its policies.
Morgan said that his charges
did not touch personal integrity
of the other directors, and that
he had not charged them with ac-
cepting brides or profting imam
cially through any transaction OF
the Authority.
"My charges" he declared, IRE
late to the execution Of public
duty and responsibility by the ma
jority Of this board. This has
not been open, candid, fair, and
straightforward, and hence it has
not been an honest administra-
ton of q great public trust"
The hearing today was the frst
comprehensive statement from the
former director since he refused
to elaborate on his charges to the
President and stated thAt he would
testify only before q congressional
committee. This refusal TO ampli-
fy charges before the President
led to his dismissal by President
Roosevelt.

PERMANENT RIFT
THREATENS HOUSE

WASHINGTON, May Is. (UP)
The house last night passed the
Roosevelt supported minimum
wage maximum hour bill after a
bitter north-south sectional fight
VIII h threatened permanent
cleavage of congressional Demo-
cratic ranks.
The vote was 314 to 81. 1t
came Immediately after a routine
motion to recommit, introduced
by Representative William Lam
bertson (R., Kans.) was beaten
down, 314 to 96.
The final tally showed that .256
| Democrats. 46 Republicans, seven
EEfGgressives and five Farm-La-
borites voted for passage, while
Al Republicans and Sc Democrats
voted against it.
The measure now goes to the
senate which has passed a widely
differing bill and where opposi-
ton blocs are reported preparing
to filibuster if the house version
comes up for acceptance.
The almost solid southern DEM
ocratic phalanx and a few Repub-
licans resisted stubbornly in the
house when the showdown came
but were overwhelmed by the pre-
ponderant administration major
ity.
1t was a momentous victory for
President Roosevelt who asked
for the legislation year ago yes
terday but saw his forces repuls-
ed repeatedly by conservative Re-
publicans and insurgent southern
erS.
The latter fought the bill on
the ground that it does not pro-
vide differentials favoring their
industries. The Republicans called
it a "vote catcher" which will
"throw millions of people out of
work and chart course to social
ISM"
The measure establishes rigid
wage-hour standards for certain
classes of workers in all indus
tries operating in interstate COM
merce, regardless of prevailing
sectional scales. 1t fixes an initial
wage of rs cents an hour which
steps up to 40 cents an hour in
three years, and a 44-hour week
graduating to 40 in two years.
Bolstered by the personal pres
tige of Mr.. Roosevelt the admin
istration forces, with support
from scattered blocs, turned back

Airliner Explosion With 10 Deaths Is Mystery
new DEAL LEADERS THREATEN
VETO TO HALT EARMARKING
OF ENORMOUS RECOVERY FUND
Senator'S Bailey And Cope
land to Push For Direc-
ton Of Expenditures

WASHINGTON, May 25. (UP)
Administration forces threatened
presidential veto today to head
Oft the attempt of an anti-New
Deal senate coalition to earmarb
every dollar in the $3,240,025, 00C
recovery bill.
The earmarking drive, conduct
ed under cover until the last min
ute, came into the open when Sen
ators Royal S. Copeland 3D., n
~ and Josiah w. Bailey 3D., N
c. introduced amendments to d.
rest expenditure of the SS65, 0O0,,
900 budgeted for the public works
administration.
Senator Alvan B. Adams 3D.,
Colo,) floor n anager for the bill,
said that it might become a log
rolling bill rather than one for re-
lief and relief and recovery bill if
the amendment is adopted.
Il am afraid that this measure
may become so loaded with amend
ments that President Roosevelt
may not be able to sign it," he
said.
Meanwhile, administration stra-
tegy switched overnight on an
other amendment, designed to
prevent use of PWA funds for
municipal power plants that would
be in competition with existing
private utilities.
Senate majority leader Alben
W. Barley 3D., Ky.) said that he
would seek to strike the amend
ment from the bill. Unless that
move fails he will not offer his
compromise plan to permit the
PWA to make grants and loans
for power projects if the munich
palitv involved has made a "fair
offer" to buy the private utility
and has been refused.
Barley told of the change in
plans after Senator George w.
Norris lind, Neb.) had opposed
his compromise and predicted that
the senate would throw out the
anti-competition amendment on a
roll call vote. Most senate lead
ers agreed with Norris privately.
The earmarking amendments
took two forms. Bailey's would
require that first ALLEGATIONS from
the SS65,0O0,0O0 PWA fund go
to projects-except for power
approved up to April IL, 1888,
but for which no money has been
provided.
PWA officials said that 2,7S5
approved projects are now pend
ing, requiring grants of S442, OO0,-
600 and loans of 1923, 100000
a total of almost $75,00O,OOO to
come out of the new spending
lending funds.
Copeland's amendment consist
ed of a long list of river, harbor
and flood control projects total
ing s325,0O0,0OO. He would d.
vert this amount from PWA TO
the army engineers. :,
Adams admitted that the amend,
ments were in form that would
make it hard for senators to OPP
pose them in omnibus form, ex-
planning that would be very en-
barrassing for him to oppose a
Colorado project.

Nazi anger against Szechs 20
day was dangerous as sparks along
the inflammable frontier, menaces
efforts to settle .Europe's quarrel,
at the council table instead Of on
battlefelds.
The most important develop'
ment was the decision by Germany
to protest against alleged Czech
attacks on Nazis in the German
populated Sudeten border area.
PRAGUE, May rs. (UP)-Ger-
man press warnings of war and
bitter denunciation of Great Brit
ain and France for playing s
dangerous game of intrigue"
last night spiked the Czechoslovak
crisis with new dangers as peace
negotiations in Prague were in
terrupted suddenly.
The inspired German press re-
leased a torrent of accusations
based on alleged frontier viola
tions, and demanded Czechoslo-
vakia withdraw troops moved up
to the German Czech border in
warlike array over the weekend.
The deepening tension, serving
to dissolve some of the. 9ptimisnl

Konrad Henlein, German minor
ity leader, left Prague for his
home at Asch.
Hic departure cancelled anoth-
err scheduled conference with
Premier Milan Hodza, set for yes
terday to seek means of solving
the Czechoslovak governments
dispute with 100000 members
of the German minority which
brought middle Europe to the
verge of war Saturday when two
German farmers were shot and
killed and Prague called 10000
army reserves to the colors.
Reports that Germany was
moving troops toward the 1875
mile stretch of the frontier were
unconfrmed in Prague.
Hodza summoned the British
and French ministers and inform
ed them of his preliminary meet
ing with Henlein and later con-
vened the inner council of the
cabinet which was informed by
the premier that further consul
tations will be carried out with
members of the Sudeten German
parliamentary committee.
No date for the next meeting
of Henlein and Hodza has been
fixed.
The spokesman of Henlein's
Sudetin German party denied the
"peace" conversations between
Henlein and Hodza had collapsed.
"Once contact between our
party laeder and the premier had
been established, and conserva-
tons started, Henlein's presence
in Prague was not necessary, he
said, referring to Monday nights
meeting between the two.
From his home at Asch the
Nazi leader was expected to go to
Eyer for today's funeral of the
two Sudeten farmers killed by
frontier guards Saturday.
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, who has
proclaimed protective interest
in Czechoslovakia's 100000 Ger
mans, sent large wreath to Eyer
with a simle inscription: "Adolf
Hitler"
Henlein was expected to deliver
a funeral Grafton and Czech auth.
critics feared any uncontrolled
demonstrations in connection
with the funeral services might
furnish the spark for graver de-
velopments along the border.
