Senators PROFOUND
Critical Queries on
Fund
Hemisphere Loan
Plan Is Explained
BY jesse H. Jones
BY the Associated Press.

L
President Roosevelt's request for
a $500,000,00O fund to assist West
ern Hemisphere countries in meet
ing trade problems caused by war
ran into critical questions today
from members of the Senate Bank
ing Committee.
Their questions, on whether leg
islation to carry out the White
House request to increase the capi-
tai of the Export-Import Bank from
5000, 100000 to $700,000O00 might
dangerously loosen restrictions on
foreign credit, were directed at
Jesse H. Jones, Federal loan ad-
ministrator.
Many Ask Same Question.
Senators Clark, Democrat, of
Idaho; Adams, Democrat, of Col
orado; Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
and Townsend, Republican, of Della
ware, all brouoht up the point by
| asking whether the measure would
remove present restrictions of the
johnson Act and Neutrality Act.
Mr.. Jones told the committee that
some of the $500 100000 might be
used by South American countries
for the purchase of armament in the
United States.
He made his statement in reply
to question from Senator Taft,
who questioned throughout the
hearing the advisability of the
export-import plan.
The Ohio Senator also asserted
that presidential description of the
plan as necessary economically was
nonsense"
Debtor Nations Barred.
The johnson Act prohibits credit
to any nations that have defaulted
on World War debts to the United
States and the Neutrality Act bars
loans to belligerents.
The Senators referred to a clause
in the EXPORT import legislation
which stated that these loans might
be made mot withstanding any
other provisions of law insofar as
they may restrict or prohibit loans
or other extensions of credit to, or
other transactions with, the govern
ments of the countries of the West
ern Hemisphere or their agencies
or nationals"
Finally Chairman Wagner asked
Mr.. Jones whether the legislation
was intended to supercede the
johnson and Neutrality Acts.
NO" Mr.. Jones replied after con-
sulting a staff of lawyers and assist
ants.
Advises Revision.
Senator Wagner suggested that
definite limitations could be written
into the legislation.
Mr.. Roosevelt in his message to
Congress seeking the 100000, ,00C
authorization said it would be used
to assist ''our neighbors to the south
of the Rio Grande, including flnanc-
ing the handling and orderly mar
keting of some of their surpluses."
After pointing out that war had
blockaded many normal market out
let's for this hemisphere, he said that
''by helping our neighbors we will be
helping ourselves"

Jordon Is Refused
Freedom in Staying I
Of Mrs. Jaynes
AppeoIs Court Overrides
Request for Writ in
Gorden-T- -Shoppe Cose

Thomas Jordon, former busboy,
who long has sought release from
prison after his conviction for
murder in connection with the
Garden-T Shoppe Staying of Mrs.
Elizabeth Jaynes in 1881, lost his
fight for liberty in the United States
Court Of Appeals yesterday.
The Appellate Court affirmed
District Court finding by Chief JUS
tice Alfred A. Wheat, discharging
Jordon's habeas corpus writ petit
ton and remanding him to custody.
On the claim of Jordon that his
constitutional rights were violated
during his trial and the court lost
jurisdiction to proceed with it and
to sentence him, the Appeals Court
said:
I'VE find no merit in any of his
contentious. On the contrary the
entire proceeding, presented to US
in lengthy and repetitious record,
has earmarks of a fishing expedi-
ton entered upon in the hope, now
demonstrated baseless. that it
would bring about the discovery
of some violation of constitutional
right = = ."
Mrs. Jaynes, a cashier, was fatally
shot on April 3. 1881, during a holdup
at the restaurant near Eighteenth
street and Columbia road NV.
Jordon was convicted of the murder
in 1886 and later his death sentence
was commuted to life imprison-
ment.
Two men entered the Garden-T
Shoppe and while one stood guard,
the other went to the cashiers cage
and fired the shot that caused Mrs.
Jaynes' death.
Jordon contended that witnesses
and evidence favorable to him,
particularly police incidental, were
suppressed" but the appellate tri-
bunal said: There is nothing to
show that the incidental was sup
pressed"
Associate Justice Wiley Rutledge
wrote the opinion. Associate JUS
tices Harold M. Stephens and Justin
Miller heard the case with him.
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran, former assistant United
States Attorney John j. Wilson and
Assistant United States Attorney

ernment with appointed officers.
Even assuming the continuance of
the present form of local govern
ment, the clause in the amendment
is therefore desirable to enable Con-
gress to deal more efficiently with
District affairs by removing the
possibility of challenge on the same
grounds as have been successfully
urged in the courts against dele
cations of its power over the Dis
trict. Congressman who have been
active in District affairs will appre-
ciate the desirability of delegating
powers and duties with respect to it.
Commands Support.
On the other hand, the resolution
commands the support of those who
seek a locally-elected local govern
ment. The privilege of voting is of
real value only if those elected pos
sess real power. 1t removes the pos
sibility of constitutional objection TO
their plea, which in any event must
be addressed to Congress for local
government with power.
The express reservation of power
to revoke whatever shall be done
pursuant to the proposed amend
ment should reassure any one who
fears that Congress may make mis-
takes in exercising the increased
power given it by this amendment.
In short, the proposed amendment
increases the powers of Congress and
Congress should not hesitate to sub
nit it to the States for ratification.

 PAUL VAN IRELAND, former Belgian prem fer, speaking in Des Moines, Iowa, said the small nations of Europe hope "that theI might of the United States will sooner or later be felt in favor of right"
 What the aims of the German high com mand in the great land offensive actually are, of course remain closely guarded mi litary secret.

Daisy Hot Dish Mat
An Appropriate Gift
By RUTH WYETH SPEARS

TT WAS the flower handle of the
teapot lid that suggested this
daisy mat. I had been thinking
of making a hot dish out of firmly
braided strips of cotton cloth. I
wanted it to be thick and sewn
firmly like a rag rug, SO that it
would stand frequent scrubbings.
The design had to be novel and
gay so that it would be appropri-
ate for a gift or to sell at church
bazaar.
Cotton flannel or heavy cotton
