VINSON TO ARGUE
FOR BRITISH LOAN
House Committee Plans To
Invite Jones And Baruch
To New Hearings

WASHINGTON, May II -(P-
Chairman Spence (D-Ky) of the
House Banking committee said to-
day he will invite Jesse Jones
and Bernard M. Baruch to present
their views on the proposed 3d.
$50, 600, 900 British loan.
House committee hearings on
the long-term credit arrangement
approved yesterday by the Senate
after prolonged debate, will open
Tuesday with Treasury Secretary
Fred M. Vinson starting off the
administrations argument for
passage.
Neither Jones, former secretary
of Commerce and RFC Chief, nor
Baruch, longtime adviser of
presidents, appeared during SEN
ate committee hearings on the
transaction.
Jones, however, has criticized
the loan as ''unbusinesslike" in
the editorial columns of his Hous-
ton |Tex.) Chronicle, and Baruch
has urged caution in loan policies.
Spence predicted a ''ding-dong'
battle in his committee, but a
check of members indicated the
loan legislation will get approval
there, with strong Democratic
support.
Rep. Buffet (R-Neb.), a COM
mittee member and one of the
leaders of the opposition, said that
sit may be a different story when
the bill reaches the floor. The peo-
pie don't want this loan"
However, administration forces
were heartened by the 1884 senate
victory. House Democratic Whip
Sparkman of Alabama predicted
the house would approve the loan
"by a comfortable margin" in
three weeks.
While Jones has not opposed
economic aid for the British, he
admonished in his newspaper
against making a huge loan with
out adequate security. He sug-
gested an alternative plan for adj
.vancing part of the dollars, with
British investments in this coun-
try as collateral. Supplemented by
a mechanism for selling on credit
to the British the commodities
they need.

Req Clark ON. c. believes.
Clark estimates it will cost
around $50, COG, 900 to complete the
proposed project, the same figure
set for the Bugs Island PROJECT

Clark recalled in an interview
that when he advocated the third
lock in the Cape Fear river about
20 rifles below Fayetteville, he ask
ed for a survey Of the upper Cape
Fear valley. The Army Engineers
at he time recommended the lock
but were unfavorable on a flood
conrrol proposal, he said.

the biggest since 1908 on the Cape

ing the project now, he comment
ed
This FLOOD was so much bigger
Than any other of recent years that
it put a new wrinkle in the prob
lens Of the Cape Fear river" he
SAID.
AT the time of the flood, Clark
requested Army engineers to make
a thorough survey to get "a record
Of the Cape Fear water at it's
worst"
This IS his basis for requesting
