DEMOCRATS IN SERIOUS SPLIT ON HUNGER AID Relief Measure Reported by Committee Draws Fire of Two Groups. Bu Scrivnt-Hoicnrd .Vet otvaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb, 23.—Dissension is brewing among house Democrats as a result of the $700,000,000 loan-and-public-works relief bill favorably reported last week by the labor committtee. Two groups object to this bill, one led by Representative David J. Lewis (Dem., Md.), whose relief bill similar to that sponsored by Senators La Follette and Costigan was recommended by the labor subcommittee which held hearings on the need for federal relief action. The second group objects to the provision in the committee measure which gives Treasury Secretary Mills authority to allot funds to the states as he sees fit. When Senator Couzens (Rep., Mich.) proposed that President Hoover be allowed to distribute relief funds Senate Democrats denounced the measure as intended to give him vast political power in a campaign year. The house labor committee bill provides $300,000,000 for loans to states, secured by notes or bonds, bearing 5 per cent interest and maturing in ten years. Another $200,000,000 is set aside for “advances" to states not able to make binding pledges, on condition that Governors promise to try to have set aside legal restrictions preventing repayment.

BY BEN STERN THOSE who did not hear Bainbridge Colby speak on the Washington ideal as it could be used during the present debacle at the Rotary conference Monday afternoon missed a type of oratory all too rare in Indiana. With none of the flamboyant verbosity that characterizes the Hoosier orator, Colby impinged his message with rare force, and how effective was his devastating attack on the greed of utility, railroad, banking and commercial manipulators can be seen in the fact that the conservatives who form the Rotary movement rose and for several minutes applauded the address. Most interesting was the frankness and courage with which he pointed out the cause of all our ills, as compared with the evasiveness of the candidates for senator and Governor so far in the campaign. One especially timely fact which he brought out was that, “We have known that parties were degenerate and yet have given them our confidence and trust time after time.” m * u Colby is no newcomer in Indiana. Veterans recall how he stumped the state in 1912 side by side with the late Albert Beveridge and Fred Landis in behalf of the Roosevelt Progressive campaign. He was in charge of the contest to seat Roosevelt candidates in the Republican convention of 1912 and when Taft was nominated became one of the founders of the Progressive National Party and helped arrange the convention at which Roosevelt was nominated. Colby visited almost every hamlet j and town in the state during that year and held fast to the Rooseveltian ideals for several years. He

became the Progressive nominee for United States senator in New York in 1914 and 1918 and then realizing that Wilson, rather than Hughes, was carrying on the traditions of his leader, Colby became a Wilson Democrat and in 1917 was appointed commissioner of the United States shipping board and a member of the emergency fleet corporation. u u u President Wilson named him to the inter-allied conference in Paris in 1917; and then, when Robert Lansing left the cabinet in 1920, Codby succeeded him as secretary of state. Upon the President's retirement, Colby became associated with him in the practice of law, Just before the war President’s death. Colby’s name has been accorded some mention as a presidential possibility. "I have not the slightest idea of entering the race for the presidency," the former secretary "declared here.

to dismiss 499 employes and reduce salaries 15 per cent. A saving of $2,600,000 during the coming year was expected from the board’s action. Commisisoners expect to cut another $400,000 from their budget. The county order was the first in the announced program of officials to reduce governmental forces to a skeleton basis due to failure of the state legislature to grant financial relief. Mayor Anton J. Cermak went before the city's aldermen again to press his determination that 2,479 city employes must be dropped immediately in view of the revenue deficit.
