The hearing adjourned shortly
after noon with Mr.. Grady sched-
uled to return at 10 am. tomorrow

sentative Disney.
Roosevelt Took Part.
At the opening of his testimony
today, Mr.. Grady said President
Roosevelt and Secretary Of State
Hull took a direct part in negotia-
tions Of trade agreements.
Mr.. Gearhart then asked Mr..
Grady series Of questions based
on comparisons Of prosperity" here
in the 1920's under the Ford-Mc-
Cumber tariff and now under the
reciprocal trade program.
Mr.. Grady contended that there
were flaws in the prosperity of the
'20's that led to the 1929 collapse
adding that he did not think that
was an ideal to try to return to.
Under further questioning, Mr.
Grady admitted that the trade pro-
gram had not accomplished its OBJ
jectives 100 per cent, but said more
could have been accomplished II
there had been better understanding
and cooperation from business gen.
orally.
Collections Held Lower.
Mr.. Gearhart cited statistics
showing that United States custom,
collections on per capita basis were
lower than for any other majol
nation. He said the per capita col
lections here were 1886 as compared
with $2284 in Great Britain.
THAT strengthens our case" Mr.
Grady said. I'VE want to continue
this program to try to lower th'
tariff walls everywhere"
The fact remains" Mr.. Gearhar
countered, that the United States
is the only country on the face O
the earth that has adopted thi!
policy of slashing its tariffs"

Senator Borah remained in WASH
ington following the special neu.
trality session last fall, and was at
his ofice every day until Tuesday,
preparing to take part In the con-
sideration Of the major issues con-
fronting Congress this year.
Planned to Attend Convention.
He told reporters last week he
felt fine. He had made plans to
attend the Republican National
Convention this year with the
avowed objective of doing every
thing possible to see that his party
nominated progressive candidate
and adopted liberal platform.
Friends said that Senator Borah,
who would complete 80 years of
service in the Senate on March 4,
had been taking special precautions
to guard his health since a collapse
brought on by the heat In 1898.
He rested daily in his office, often
chatting with reporters while lying
on a divan covered with an Army
blanket.
Senator Borah announced recently
that he would oppose any excessive
defense appropriations. He expressed
a preference that money be spent
instead for relief and farm benefits
Opponents of the anti-lynching
bill, to be brought up for considera-
ton before the Senate judiciary
Committee tomorrow, have counted
on him to aid them in their fight
against the measure. Senator Borah,
a member of the Judiciary Com
mittee, previously had opposed
similar legislation on the ground
that 1t constituted a violation Of
States rights.

breathing regularly.
At first it was reported that Mr..
Borah had been injured when he
slipped on rug. But Mrs. Borah
said that it was now considered
possible that he was stricken first
with the hemorrhage.
She revealed that he had been in
good spirits when he awoke Tuesday
morning and had called happily to
her before going in to the bathroom.
When he did not emerge, she sought
him and found him unconscious.
The Senator's wife said that he
had visited his physician on Monday
for a physical examination. He
telephoned her to tell good news
his doctor had said his condition was
improving. In fact, the Senator
said, the doctor stated his physical
condition generally was the best
since he had known him.
That night he attended a motion
picture and retired early. In the
morning he was found unconscious.
Associates Are Anxious.
At the Senator's Office constant
stream Of calls poured in from
friends, inquiring about his condi-
tion. Several Senators said they
were praying for his recovery.

grieved over Senator Borah's con-
dition. Usually happy and genial
Mr.. Garner strobe about his office
today, voicing expressions Of SYM
pathy and regret.

The Rev. Ze Barney Phillips, Sen
ate chaplain, referred to Senator
Borah in his prayer, saying the
Senator stood at the brink of death
His career of 80 years in the upper
house earned him rank as one OF
the giants Of the Senate's history
He was famed throughout the
world as the voice of American
isolation" and was probably the best
known man in the Senate. His
fights against the League of Ma
tions, the World Court and foreign
entanglements had affected the
course of events in Europe.
Senator Borah's latest major ef.
fort was to help lead the fight
against repeal Of the arms embargo
in the administrations Neutrality

U. 5. Oil Engineers
Reported Called
Home From Japan
Believed in Response to
Moral Emboreo' Upon
Ruthless Bombers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Jan. 18.-Five American
petroleum engineers were reported
reliably today to have been with
drawn from Japan in an extension
into the field Of aviation gasoline
Of the American moral embargo"
on airplanes used against civilians.
The State Department In WASH
ington a month ago announced CO.
operation Of the Government and
oil companies in moral embargo
against aiding production Of high
test gasoline for countries whose
forces "are engaged In unprovoked
bombing or machine-gunning OF
civilian populations from the air."
As far back as June, 1898, the
State Department began putting
pressure on American manufacturers
not to ship airplanes to Japan on
the grounds that that country was
bombing civilians in China.
No Action on Plane Engineers.
Apparently there has been no such
action concerning American aviation
engineers in Japan, however, but
they have been assisting mainly on
technical details of commercial air
craft. Japan manufactures all her
own military planes now.
The petroleum engineers were said
m hova left ir, tho Ia Sf tu,o y,oortIc G
under orders Of their companies in
the United States.
Oilmen said one engineer left
hastily last month before completing
installation of q gaSoline-cracking
unit. The belief was expressed that
several Of these units are in oper-
alton now, but the construction Of
additional plants has been post
poned.

Referring to the letter, Committee
Counsel Edmund M. Toland de-
manded: "Was that the statement
Of a public onlcial who was acting
fairly and impartially in the dis
charge Of his duty?"
Mr.. Pratt said he thought 1t was
the statement Of a prosecutor who
was "a bit enthusiastic" He added
that there was no complaint from
company counsel on the way Mr.
Avrutis conducted himself during
the hearings.
When Mr.. Toland asked Mr.. Pratt
II he ever made the Judge, jury

ter, the witness said:
Il think in one letter I did make
such q statement"
Some people didn't like that?'
Mr.. Toland suggested.
II think that Is true"
Charges Filed Against Him.
'Were certain charges filed
against you in the course Of that
case?" the chief trial examiner was
asked.
"Yes."
"Were you not charged with saying
that you were going to get the
president of the Tri-State Union
(allegedly dominated by the COM
pany) and that you were pro-
G. I. O.?'"
Mr.. Pratt said he believed such
charges were made.
Field officers of the board, Mr.
Pratt said, often help unions pre-
pare charges against employers and
sometimes make informal investi-
cations before complaints are filed
Mr.. Pratt said that when he was

came chief trial examiner it was

In this case, involving charges ol

This remark, Mr.. Hunt explained
to his chief, was made after he
ruled out evidence OF "Communistit
or American Legion activities" The
trial examiner said it appeared tina,
the company's president was en-.
gagged in "red-baiting." The lettel
added:
