THREE BATTLE FOR STH PLAGE Cubs Gain Full Game On Giants By Nosing Pirates, 2 To 1 *• New York. Aug. 7 — (U.R) — A 4hree cornered battle rages for possession of the second division dead in the National league. .. The Cincinnati Rede and Brooklyn Dodgers have been carrying on a private brawl for fifth place for two months. Now the Philadelphia Phillies have entered the fray and it appears the issue may go unsettled until the last day of the season. X The Pittsburgh Pirates, nine games in front of the fifth place «ont«*n<tt>re. apparently have a first division berth cinched. The -Boston Braves are entrenched so fleeplv in the cellar that a rise would be a miracle. So the Phils, fteds and Dodgers probably can make It their own scrap for the rest of the season. The three are bunched within half a game of each other. Fach bis won and lost approximatedthe same number of games and all are at scratch as they swing into the final third of the 1935 campaign. The Dodgers moved up from (Seventh to fifth place with a 3-1 victory over the New York Giants Jeoterday while the St. Ixniis I Cardinals were defeating Cincin- [ nati 6-3 in ten innings ami the I Boston Braves were trimming Philadelphia 4-0. The Chicago Cubs and Cardinals ' each gained a game on the league-j leading Giants. Chicago now : trails the New Yorkers by three games and St. Louis, in third, by . five. The Cubs capitalized on the | Giant defeat by beating Pitta-' burgh 2-1. In the only American league i game the Washington Senators subdued the Philadelphia Athletics, 11-2.

BITTER CLASH MARS HEARING Patrick Hurley Clashes With Black In Lobby Hearing Washinton. Aug. 7 —(UP)—Tall, soldierly Patrick J- Hurley thrust new turmoil into the senate lobby investigation today in a heated arg-> ument with chairman Hugo L. Black . at resumption of the committee inquiry into lobbying against the Wheeler-Rayburn utility bill. After the clash, Hurley testified; that he received $50,000 for his services representing the associated gas and electric company in the senate stock exchange investigations in 1933 and that his total fees from the company in the last three years | were about SIOO,OOO. “I’m in a gold fish bowl.” he re-1 marked to the committee. "You can , see me from all sides." The debonair former secretory j of war, whose big Virginia estate was visited yesterday iby congres-1 sional sleuths seeking the -missing , utility man. H. C. Hobson, trembled 1 with rage as he shouted at the j committee: |- “I’m being singled out as a repub- ; lican.” Black, sharp-tongued and aggres- i sive, cracked his fist on the table and snapped: "There’s no ‘singling out’ here. I and we’re net going to have any: argument about politics at this! hearing." Hurley previously had character-; izzed the visit to his estate by sub-poena-bearers as "an outrage to my ; family and a political frameu>p.” He 1 insited that he had no idea where the elusive Hobson sought for testimony about the associated gas and electric company activities against the utility bill, might be found and that he (Hurley) was not Hobson’s' lawyer. Hurley was angered when Black - asked him to disclose the fee he received from representing the Asso I ciated gas and electric company at the senate ban-king and currency committee's stock exchange investi-1 gallon in 1933. He had already testified he was paid $25,000 during the campaign against the utilities legislation. The handsome Hoover -cabinet of- j ficer arose, removed his glasses and i shout'd: “I’ll state my fee in that case it. you wish to hear it, but it occurred I to me that you might ask Martin I Conboy how much he received for, repr; snting Albert H. Wiggins in j th l ? same case.” “Sit down, Mr. Hurley,” Blar.k! said angrily. o Rescue Girl After Marooned All Night Yosemite Valley, Calif.

HUGE MAJORITY | CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE i sarily identical,” he added, “but ; most of the corporations in one ' class will also be found in the other.” Jackson said federal reports revealed a "startling" concentration of assets, with 618 companies owning over 53 per cent of the value ' of ajl assets of all corporations. I At the other end of the scale, 66.6 per cent of the corporations owned only 2.9 per cent of the aggregate assets. "The ability >to pay is, in our ■ view, based in large part upon ■ advantages which larger corport ations have over smaller ones,” , Jackson continued. > o Hose Stolen, Air Saved Unionville, Mo.

FEDERAL LOAN AGENCY CHANGE Seven Lending Agencies Os Government Put Under Budget Act Washington. Aug. 7— (U.R) — President Roosevelt meeting with a hundred or more newspaper correspondents in his weekly press conference today announced that he had signed an executive order placing the eeven lending agencies of the government under the budget and accounting act of 1921. Under the order, the agencies are requested to submit to the budget bureau estimates covering future expenditures for administrative purposes. The seven agencies affected are the f deral home Inn bank board, the home owner’s loan corporation. federal savings and loan system, federal housing administration. federal savings and loan insurance corporation, farm credit administration and federal farm mortgage corporations. A Whitei House statement said: "The agencies are not to incur, from and after Sept. 15. 19.15, any obligations for administrative expenses not approved by the director of the bureau of the budget. "The director of the bureau is directed to apportion funds for administrative expenses to each of the agencies named on a monthly basis, subject to modification in the event of emergency.” The President indicated that by late fall he hoped to bring the administrative exnenses of other emergency federal agencies under the budget system. Turning to a discussion of the operation of federal agencies. Mr. Roosevelt clearly indicated that he favored a -system in which a cabinet officer supervises the par-1 ticular unit rather than independ-1 ent organizations reporting di- ; rectly to the president. He pointed out that It was impossible for the chief executive, under the independent system, to supervise all the units and avoid confusion. The president explained that the British government ran into this difficulty during the war I when the cabinet was increased I and almost every new agency made a separate unit. The cabinet, he added, got up to around 28 members. Such a system, he i remarked, was unworkable in that it became top heavy. (OMPLETE PLANS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ! talk at the program.
