FS IT, Associated Press.
Election year demands for continued
Federal road aid caused the House
Appropriations Committee to recon-
sioer today its support of President
Roosevelts recommendation for a 60
per cent slash in highway funds.
The committee asked the House yes
terday to appropriate slOOOOO,O00 for
SIX months of the fiscal year starting
July l, but Chairman Cartwright of
the Roads Committee said he would
seek to restore the amount to the
usual $238 900, 900.
AS result, the committee was called
together this morning to debate in

Representative Cannon, Democrat,

reached several weeks ago, before
Secretary Wallace began approving
road projects submitted by the States
Doubts Hard Fight.
Since Congress has not approved
the Presidents recommendation for
cut" Representative Cannon said,
"the Secretary has had to 60 ahead
and allot money for some of these
projects"
Chairman Taylor Of the Appropri-
ations Committee said he believed
the committee won't fight the increase
very much"
President Roosevelt asked Congress
last November to limit its next road
appropriation to $l00,000,000 and sug-
gested the 1910 and 194l expendi-
lures be limited to $125,OO0, 900.

He made the recommendation
because Of the necessity for taking
definite steps to reduce expenditures
for the purpose of securing a balanced
budget"
The Agriculture Department appro-
priation bill, which contains the
road fund, is among the last of the
annual supply bills to be considered
by the House
Many congressman predicted those
measures and any relief and recovery
proposals submitted by President
Roosevelt would be the only other
important legislation to be considered
at this session. Members talked of
May IS as the probable adjournment
date.

Casually
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
A former Wall Street messenger
who became an aide to the trustees
of the New York Stock Exchange told
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission today he did not call attention
to Richard Whitney's protracted Gus
tody of the stock exchange gratuity
fund bonds and cash because he was
afraid of losing his job.
The witness. George w. Lutes. as
sistant to the trustees of the gratuity
fund of the exchange. described him
self as former runner in Wall Street.
MI. Lutes testified at the S. E. C.
inquiry into the failure Of the firm
headed by Whitney.
The gratuity fund is a benefit sys-
tenn for exchange members.
Mentioned 1t Casually"
Mr.. Lutes said he mentioned to
Whitney, casually" his possession of
1921 900 of the funds cash and $l75,-
900 of its bonds. He said he spoke
to Whitney about five times as re-
minder" during 1887.
What were your exact words?'
asked Gerhard A. Gesell. comission
counsel. Did you say you ought to
have the bonds and the cash back?"
mot ought to have" Mr.. Lutes
replied. Il asked him when 1t would
be convenient"
Did you become more insistent?"
asked Mr. Gesell. s~....
Absolutely not, because Mr.. Whit
ney was more or less sharp person.
Mr. Whitney was my employer"
Mr.. Gesel then asked the witness if
he had mentioned Whitney's possess
sion of the bonds and cash to other
trustees of the fund He said he had
not.
Afraid of Being Fired.
Were you afraid you would get
fired if you mentioned it?" said Mr..
Gesell.
Yes" responded Mr. Lutes.
He testified he first mentioned
Whitney's possession of the bonds at
meeting of the trustees on Novem-
Der %, 1887.
He said the trustees decided to close
out the account with Whitney after
the meeting. No record of the deci-
sion was made in the minutes, he add
ed. because the action was taken after
the meeting closed.
Mr.. Lutes testified Whitney told him
later he could not return the bonds
because he was short handed"
The securities and cash were re-
stored to the fund with the aid of a
loan which Whitney received from his
brother George, partner in the firm
Of J. P Morgan & Co.
