RFC Investigation Recessed Two Weeks I — Senators Tobey and Capehart In Clash Washington. May 7 tl'Pi—• The senate banking committee's Investigation of RFC wag put on Ice lemiMiprlly today following some hot words between chairman ■ Charles W Tobey, R, and Sen. 1 Homer E. Capehn t. It. Ind • Tobey said he plans to re-open earings In two weeks on the re--1 construction finance corporations ' multl-mlllion-dolliii dealings with ' the Baltimore A Ohio railroad. The recess will give committee members a chance to attend senate debate on important legislation, Tobey said. Some senators said privately, meanwhile, that the Invwttigation ■ to date has been "nothing more than a witch-hunt." They complained that they never knew in advance who was going to testify. The main Issue 1h the inquiry concerns the B A O'* 1945 bankruptcy and subsequent reorganization. wherby an 180,000,000 RFC loan was extended to 1965. Committee counsel Robert D. L’Heureux charge* it waa a "fictitious” bankruptcy, rrranged to forme. RFC officials in control at B A- O. Railroad officials deny that the B & () had been a party to any "fraudulent or Improper" act. Sen John Sparkman, D, Ala. hanking committee member, told a reporter that in his opinion "no case has yet* been made out" against either B A O or RFC. He said "not a *lngle witness has testified that anybody lost anything" as a result of the reorganization. Tobey said he will name a subcommittee to conduct subsequent hearings He will continue as chairman. The bunking committee will recommend before June 30 whether it thinks congress should renew RFC's life Neither Tobey or Capehart would comment on their bitter exchange at yesterday's hearings. It was 1 touched off when Tobey accused Capehart of asking a witness questions that were "unfair, irrelevant and entirely un-Americatf." Capehart scolded Tobey for “cast- , Ing aspersions" on his colleagues. "You shoot off and jump in the air like a top." he sputtered. "I'm sick and tired of your casting aspersions on me." i "You haven't got a leg to stand I on." Tobey told him "Not even a . crutch." Capehart observed that he'd he , happy to debate the whole subject on the serrate floor. "You may be a g:eat senator . from New Hampshire." he told . (Tobey, "but I represent the state of Indiana.” - . _ o—— Iz, -*“• JK EV f ■ 9L CHAIRMAN of the boards of Chesapeake & Ohio railroad and Allegheny Corp., Robert R.

British Plan New Palestine Moves Hint At Collective Fines Against Jews London. May 7.— (UP) — Colonial secretary Arthur Creech i Jones hinted in commons today that the British were considering she possibility of imposing collective fines and widespread martial law in Palestine to counter Jewish underground activity. Gen Sir George Jeffreys, con-1 servatlve, demanded martial law I in all Jewish settlement*, collective fines, and the removal of prominent Jewl-h citizens as hostages in "localities in which outrage* are perpetrated.” Avoiding a direct reply to Jes treys' demand for drastic action. Creech Jones said: "It is for the high commissioner 1 (in Palestine) to consider, in con-1 imitation with military authorities and in the light of event* whether the situation calls for introduction of military administration in any parilcular area. "The authorities are tackling this problem of terrorism with the greatest resolution and with the most appropriate ineihmls within the capacity of available resources. Collective fines have not so far been levied on any groups deemed collectively responsible sorter-1 rorism." Creech Jones recalled that he' had said last week that the question of possible steps "to recover ( the cost of damage done in terror-1 Ist outrages" was under consideration. He said he had nothing to add at this time. When Jeffreys asked that the military command be given a free; hand. Creech Jones said that London was putting no hindrance* in the way of either the high commix-, sinner. Gen. Sir Alan Cunningham. I or the army commanders. He said ( Cunningham ami the army were, working in "fullest cooperation." I Although he ignored the refer ence to taking of Jewish hostages, laborlte Maurice Edelman said that such Nazi like practices were
