GUARD AGAINST RELIEF WASTE FERA Officials Ordered To Use Extra ( are In Expenditu res Washington, Nov. 21— <U.R> — A drive to head off further con gressional criticism by tightening up supervision of federal relief expenditures started today. Officials of tin KKRA. it was learned, have been Instructed to use >xtra >aie in dispensing funds' so that there shall be no fresh ■ cause for denunciations such as those of Sen. William E Borah. ] R . Idaho. While it has been the ronton- ’ tint) of the FERA that the fundhave been administered consistent i with utmost regard for prevention | of waste, the instances cited by Borah have resulted in renewed pressure upon this phase of relief activity. Borah lias made 1! clear that [ !,. dees not i barge the FERA w ith graft or oorrupMnn He has ! demanded m >re attention to effi- ; eieiiry however. and payrolls I more in Keeping with the relief i work actually done. The way in which relief funds j have had to lie utilized has pre- 1 vented the o-ntral organization from keeping a close cheek on ex-; penditmvs While still under this ! bandit an. relict administrator . Harry L. Hopkins and his asso-1 dates i ivi- gone into several ! situations where waste became ; apnarenf Cover men’ officials are work- ’ ing on plans to head off a tendeniy. apparent in many sections, to refuse gainful employment so long as relief funds may he obtained j Hundreds of incidents have , heen reported where persons have ; turned down jobs paving as high i as $:. a day. saying they were! quite con’ent with relief. The subject has heen discussed ! not only among administration j 'officials including even President 1 Roosevelt, hut among senators , who have seen the svstem in op-j eration in their home commune! ties. The plans, such as a program of w ork relief, are being studied bv i Hopkins and bis aides in ant let- j nation of -harp revision of relief policies. It" congressional critics are not convinced by the time congress meets. Jan. 3, that FERA officials have used every effort to weed out waste and inefficiency, a relief investig ttion seems assured. Shell'd the new drive for heightened efficiency be successful, how- j ever, it appeared ’.ike'.y that the ! cry for an investigation of broad scope would be quieted.

The committee, however, took up the question of communistic activities in the fur industry be- | fore summoning more witnesses in the Fascist affair. One of the witnesses in the executive session at which the Butler charges were made yesterday was Capt. Samuel Glazier. ; commandant of the Elk Ridge camp. Rep. John W. McCormack, chairman. hinted the committee had information of thp alleged plot independent of that eriven by Major Generai Smedley D. Butler and j other witnesses yesterday. Butler's sensational charge that , he had been asked to be "the man on the white horse" to lead a private armv of 500.1)00 into Washine'on and take over the government. invoked a chorus of denials. These denials came from Gerald P. Macguire, whom Rutler said was the agent of Wall street. Colonel Grevson Mallet-Provost Murphy, head of a Wall street house and Macguire's employer. Thomas W.

Hugh S. Johnson, former NRA ad-! 1 ministrator. whom Butler said was ' third choice for the dictatorship, 1 j and General Douglas Macarthur.j army chief of staff, allegedly the' second choice. McCormack announced thatj every person mentioned by Butler j when ne testified before the com-j mittee (appointed by congress to. ! investigate unAmerican activities) would be summoned. The com- j mittee will hold another session , this afternoon to probe deeper inI to the purported plot. "We have been in possession of i certain information for about five ; ! weeks and have been investigate' . ing it." he said. In brief. Butler's story told in executive session to the congres-1 sional committee was: Macguire approached him first last summer with a proposal that he lead an army of 500.OOt). made up mostly of war veterans, ‘‘to save the capitalistic system." | Intimidated by this show of force, 1 it was hoped President Roosevelt would turn over power to Butler , either directly or through subterfuge. If the former. Butler would ' be appointed secretary of state, i then the president and vice-presi-dent would resign, making him president. If the latter, Butler would dictate as secretary of i state, leaving Mr. Roosevelt in the empty office of president —a figure • head.

"We all were convinced that a new era had dawned. This was 1 the firm conviction not only of in - dividuals but of every line of bus-1 iness.” | Such was the argument by Lounsbury to strengthen the de- \ sense plea that the defendants made mistakes hut that these mis-, takes were based on common fal-j lacy in business judgment rather than upon criminal intent. "The defendants scuttled their Sown ship," he said, "they passed up a hundred chances to get out with profit, yet they are treated as if they were crooks to commit bus. iness suicide.” Murdered Child's Belongings Found Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 21 —(U.P) | —The missing clothing, school books and lunch box carried by Dorothy Ann Distelhurst when she disappeared In September were found today buried within a few feet of the shallow grave where the f murdered child's body was found a week ago.
