Stitely was alleged to have obtained
funds under the Emergency Conserva-

TO the banks. while others
went to them in the regular course OF
business as the result Of purchases

According to the plan now under

banks never secured title to the Gov

CAPTAIN TO QUIT;
RED TALK CITED
Marine Officers Comment
on Behalf of Chinese
Route Army Blamed.
BY A. r. STEELE,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
HANKOW, Sept. 24-The decision
Of Capt. Evans Carlson to resign from
the United States Marine Corps, in
the face Of Washington'x disapproval
Of his public utterances on behalf OF
the Chinese Red Army, again brings
into bold relief what is considered
here the American Nays phobia
against anything savoring of radical
doctrine.
Capt. Carlson, a cautious and cap
able observer. made two long journeys
through the northern territories held
by Chinese guerrilla armies and
watched them in operation against
the Japanese. He was favorably i'm
pressed and said 50.
What the navy possibly fails to
understand. 1t is said here, is that the
Eighth Route Army is no longer
Communist army but is nominally an
integral part Of the Chinese govern
ment's defense forces. What is more.
the political and social system that the
Reds have established in Shansi. Hopei
and Shantung provinces is more akin
to the American form OF democracy
than to Communism, it is pointed out.
Capt. Carlson, who halls from
Plymouth, Conn, and joined the
Marines in 1922. has been summoned
to Washington, where action will be
taken On his resignation. He says
that rs q result OF his travels he has
acquired certain political. social and
economic convictions OF which he in
tends TO talk and write when he re-
turns home

HOPE STILL HELD
FOR SECOND SPAN
Bankers, Meanwhile, Plan to
Offer Bids for Funds for

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 24-Maryland
and New York banking interests COM
pleted plans today to offer the Public
Works Administration complete as
surance Of their willingness to finance
at least two of the four bridges in the
States 0.00O 900 bridge construc-
ton program
Admitting the P. w. A. appeared
ready TO finance . span over the
susquehanna River, the group refused
to concede the State had lost out on
chances for Federal aid in building a
second bridge over the Potomac River
near Morgantown.
Under present plans, no further ef-
fort would be made to press for a
bridge across the Patapsco River at
Baltimore and . span over Chesapeake
Bay, although it was understood I'M
officially here the War Department
had approved those projects as well
As the other two.
B. Howell Griswold, jr., of the Alex
ander Brown Co. of Baltimore, fiscal
advisers to the State Roads Commits
sion, declined to comment on the new
plans except to say, I'VE haven't given
up hope"
J. Glenn Beall, chairman of the
Roads Commission, likewise expressed
belief the Potomac River span might
be saved, making SO per cent of the
bridge program possible.
The bankers group headed by Mr..
Griswold Is expected to assure the
P. w. A. of its willingness to purchase
the revenue bonds offered by the COM
mission to finance IS per cent Of the
total cost of the bridges. The P. w. A.
would grant funds for the remaining
IS per cent. under present plans.
One remaining obstacle in the pro-
gram Is q case pending before the
Court of Appeals involving consti-
tutionality Of the revenue bonds.
Should the high court hold the bonds
illegal, the entire program would COL
lapse.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Beall disclosed the
J. Z. Greiner Construction Co., en-

total cost Of whatever bridges are

National University Law School. told
the court his clients already have won
judgment in the Cuban courts
against Cuba for s25l ,24O5l, repre-
senting compensation for land owned
by them in Havana which was con-
fiscated by the government for public
works
The suit asked that 4 lien in the
amount of the judgment, plus interest
for the nine years it has remained
unpaid. be impressed on the Cuba n
silver here.
Named Is defendants in the suit
were Nellie Tayloe Ross. director OF
the Mint; Alvin w. Hall. director OF
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
and the Export Import Bank.
Intunctisa Ressected.
The court was asked to issue an in
junction restraining those officials from
paying over any portion OF the money
to Cuba until the claim is satisfied
and to appoint receiver for the fund
while the matter is in litigation.

in District Court. Justice Alfred A.

Before filing the suit Mr.. Garnett
asked the State Department to inter-
vene in the matter, pointing out that
vigorous efforts have been made to
secure compensation from the Nexi-
can government for property expro-
priated there although those claims
are unllquidated. In the Cuban case
he said. the claim not only is lioui-
dated. but the Cuban officials ex-
pressly waived governmental immunity
