RFC Inquiry Halted,
Tobey Will Name Unii
To Resume Hearings

Senate Banking Committee hear
ings on, legislation to extend the
life of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. were held up today after
an acrimonious session yesterday
Chairman Tobey prepared toname
subcommittee to resume the hear
lngs within the next couple of weeks
The committee, which has beer
investigating the RFC relationship
with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
had dwindled to two members yes.
terday-Senator Tobey and Senator
Capehart, Republican, of Indiana
when the battling started with those
two as principals.
The argument centered around 8
witness, Randolph Phillips, opponent
of a B. & o.. reorganization plar
which the RFC backed. 1t started
when Senator Capehart wanted te
know If Mr.. Phillips had not changed
MS name 1rOm MOSES.
Unfair Questions Charged.
"Your questions seem unfair and
un-American," Senator Tobey
shouted, breaking into the colloquy
"I don't give a damn whether a
mans q Jew and took his mothers
name at two and one-haf years
I'm interested in the B. & O., not
red herrings."
Senator Capehart flushed, slam
med the arm of his chair with his
fist and retorted:
I'm sick and tired of your cast
ing aspersions at me. You may be
the great Senator from New Hamp-
shire, but I represent the State Of
Indiana.
you've been doing lot Of talk
ing, but there are others who are
going to do some talking from here
on out"
Mr.. Phillips related that when he
was two and a half years old, his
father, Marius Moses, died, and his
mother and other members of the
family legally assumed her maiden
name Of Phillips.
Phillips Called Strike Suiter."
The subject of the name arose out
of testimony by Russell Snodgrass,
B. & o. vice president, who de-
scribed Mr.. Phillips as a strike
suiter"-an individual who institutes
trouble-making stockholder suits in
reorganization proceedings.
Under questioning by Senator
Capehart, the rail official said he
understood Mr.. Phillips had changed
his name from Moses.
Mr.. Phillips charged that the B.
g. o. hired an investigator to talk
to him about dropping his reorgani-
zation fight lest he be embarrassed
by having his birth name revealed.
At another point, F. L. Baukhages
B. & O. solicitor, accused Senator
Tobey of trying to destroy his repu-
tation for honesty.
The pressure Of work has pre-
vented other committee members
from attending the hearing, and as
yesterdays hearing ended, Chairman
Tobey announced that the subcom-
mittee would be named.

Fire Prevention


The Importance of fire preven-
ton cannot be stressed too greatly
as fire is one of our greatest enem-
les. Though fire takes the homes
and often the lives of people each
day, carelessness still prevails.
Although several large confia-
grations in public places have TAX
en- unusually heavy tolls of life. the
large majority of deaths result
from fires in private dwellings.
Each individual member OF the
family has an important part to
play in fire prevention. In safe
guarding your home, your motto
should be eliminate Fire Haz-
ards" Fire prevention needs your
one hundred per cent cooperation.

This year the cafeteria, again

is running along very smoothly.
Although there is a slight increase
in prices of food, we find that each
lunch is ample in size. For exam
pie, platter may consist of: ham
sandwich, string beans, stewed to-
matoes, fruit cocktail, and a half
pint of milk, all for thirty cents.
The well balanced health platters
are the result of careful planning
