RENEW FIGHT IN SENATE FOR JOBLESS AID Distress Throughout U. S. Growing. Committee Is Told at Hearing. PRESS COSTIGAN'S BILL Inability of Local and State Agencies to Cope With Crisis Stressed. By I Mitrrt pr> >• WASHINGTON. Ma" 9 Social workers appearing before a senate subcommittee toda" in support of the $300,000,000 Costigan unemploy- 1 men? relief bill p.etured greatly increased distress and general exhaust ion of local funds in many sections of the nation. The testimony substantiated that taken earlier in the session on the La Follette-Costisjan bill, defeated by the senate, with added emphasis on the inability of states and cities to ccpe with the situation and the necessity for immediate federal aid. It was proposal by one witness that the subconfinittee divide into smaller groups to obtain detailed sectional information on the need for relief. Samuel Goldsmith, executive director of the Jewish charities of Chicago, told the committee the tin- i employed of that city had increased from 167.000 in April. 1930. to j 623.000 at the present time, and that there had been a 62 per rent drop in manufacturing pay rolls over the same period, with a 41 per cent decrease in employment. Report* Are Alarming ‘ We are now running a relief bill of about $3,260,000 a month." he said, "and this year we expect to spend $35,000,000. About 97 per rent. | of that money is state tax money.” The new bill, sponsored by Senator Costigan 'Dem., Colo.i, differs radically from it.s predecessor on several points. The money would be obtained through a treasury bond issue maturing in ten years and bearing 4 per cent interest. The earlier bill provided for direct grants to the states. The funds would be administered by a federal relief board with the chief of the children's bureau as executive officer. Sixty per cent would go to the states on a population basis, the balance being allocated for administrative expenses. State agencies would carry' on the actual relief work Proponents of the bill believe that recent alarming reports from cities and the general depletion of local relief funds Throughout the country have swung enoueh support to them to assure passage of the bill. Costigan opened proceedings before a manufacturers' subcommittee with a short statement. Nothing Affirmative Done ‘The session of congress draws to Its close.' he said, "and nothing affirmative or constructive has been done by congress or the administration. "Famine has touched the mind, but neither the heart or conscience of America " Prentice Murphy of the Philadelphia children's bureau. iold the committee "the country needs more than ever enlightenment, direction and guidance." Harry L. Lurie. New York, representing the American Association of Social Workers, presented a survey of thirty cities which he said showed "relief funds being spread thinner and thinner to cover increasing want, and an uneasy knowledge that various sections of the population are being neglected.” A number of communities report that hospital and clinic facilities ha\> been curtailed, recreational and neighborhood centers have been drastically rut and child welfare activities materially reduced.” he said. Rrlirf Being Reduced ‘Relief has been continuously and gradually reduced." Lurie continued. "so that whole families are getting an average of $2.39 a week as in New York City with $3. $4 and at the mot $5 a week per family in other cities: “In some sections of the eountry. particularly in the south and southwest. the policy of spreading thin has reached the final breaking point and la resulting in virtual abandonment of relief to a part of the unemployment group." Helen Glenn Tyson, deputy secretary of welfare of Pennsylvania, pictured her state as in "an eeo nomic and social crisis to beggar description." Millions Without* Income “At least 3.000.000 people are entirely without income." she said. "There are 250.000 families cn relic:. This means that at least 1.000.000 persons are receiving or need aid.” Karl Deschweinitz. executive secretary of the community council of Philadelphia, told the committee ‘ our only hope now is governmental aid." He said approximately 300.000 persons or six times the normal amount, were unemployed in that city. Private agencies, he continued, had mailed out their last food order April 11. eleven days before a $lO.000.000 state fund became available.

Family Hooky Flee State Rather Than Send Children to ‘Education Mill.’

By t nIM Preei • LOCKPORT, N. Y., May 9—A pilgrimage in support of a principle—the right of a mother to keep her children out of public school and educate them at home —wended southward for South Carolma today in a small sedan. Mrs. Josephine Smith rode with her 10-year-old son. Floyd, and two younger daughters. They have abandoned their home, and most of their possessions rather than comply with the ultimatum of County Judge William A. Gold, who told Mrs. Smith she either could send the children to school, go to jail or leave the state. Judge Gold stipulated that action would be taken against Mrs. Smith unless the children were in school this morning. So they all climbed into the sedan, took a last, lingering look at the little house which almost is paid for. and set out for South Carolina, the state of Mrs. Smith's birth. • my I LOVE my home.” said Mrs. Smith, "but I love my children more, and T 'm not going to put them through an educational mill. I don't rare much for jails, so we are going to South Carolina. ThPre I'm going to educate my children in my own way—at home." Mrs. Smith said she taught school for fifteen years in South Carolina and Virginia, and that she holds certificates from Winthrop college and the University oi Virginia. "The public schools.” she said, “serve children eanned knowledge. I prefer the individual method of teaching. "I have nothing against the school system here in itself. The teachers are well equipped. • • • "OUT I feel that my children D learn more satisfactorily when they are taught as individuals. and not as part of a state-wide machine." Floyd Smith, the father, gave up his .job as a mechanic to support his wife's stand in the matter. "I think she knows what's best for the children." he arid.

BILL TO CURB BANK CREDITS IS TAKEN UP Changes in Federal Reserve System Are Proposed by Glass Measure. HITS AT SPECULATION Seeks to Hold Operation, of Finance Institutions to Commercial Field. ! By Scrippt-Howarit Xnrepaprr AVinnre WASHINGTON. May 9.—Changes in the federal reserve system designed to prevent excessive use of . bank credit for speculative purposes are proposed in the Glass banking bill, which was taken up in the sen- , ate today after many months deI lay and controversy. Whereas the Glass-Steagall bill increasing banks supply of eligible paper was an emergency measure, the present bill represents a permanent revision of the central banking system, and the most far-reaching since creation of the federal reserve. It seeks to put into effect some of ; the bitter lessons learned as a result of the speculative orgy of 1925-1929, the financial crash in 1929 and the ensuing depression. Gives Greater Power Senator Carter Glass tDem.. Va.) and other proponents, contend it is necessary to prevent a recurrence of evils which have crept into the nation's banking system as a result of changed conditions in the finan- : cial and industrial worlds. In general. It seeks to force banks out of the investment, business, and to restrict their operations to the field of commercial credit. It gives the federal reserve board ; greater power over member banks, limits the amounts the latter may ■ utilize in handling securities and, it is contended, holds out Inducements designed to bring all banks into the central system. Numerous Changes Asked It also permits federal examinaI tion of affiliates dealing in security issues, and separates such lnatitu- : tions from banking houses as far | as is possible. Despite numerous changes to meet banking opposition and sugj gestions from Eugene Meyer, governor of the federal reserve, it car- ! 1 ries out Glass' idea that the reserve system has been permitted to become the creature rather than the superviser of important financial | interests. With $2,500,000,000 estimated to be tied up in closed banks, the bill provides relief for depositors by cre- , ating a federal liquidating corporaI tion within the reserve system. Capital would be obtained from reserve and member banks, artd .torn a government contribution of $125.000.000. Limit AmAunt of Loans In striking at the use of bank funds for investment purposes, the bill sharply limits the amount of loans to be made to affiliates, and the stocks of the affiliate w’hich may be held by the parent bank. After three years, banks must divorce themselves from organizations engaged principally in issuance of securities, a practice believed to lead to great evils, including the mulcting of the investing public. The banks’ part in inflating brokers' loans to $8,000,000,000 during the boom also is recognized in provisions calculated to prevent, such a use of depositors' funds and the power of banks to act as ageni cies in this respect.

bv Borenstein's friends because that was the first day of the Passover, and Borenstein was a devout man. However, on his deeth-bed. it was recounted, the dying man joked with Rabbi Hyman Borodsky; "Stay here, and when the devil comes for an old fellow, maybe he'll take you instead of me," he told him. Another rabbi. Harry Cohen, intoned the "kaddush." the prayer for the dead, as the last event on Sunday night's program, the only solemn moment of the evening.

KILLING IS JINX CLIMAX Mrs. Keith-MillerFlies With 111-Fortune

By XF A Brr* ire LIFE has been just one unhappy landing after another for Mrs. Jessie M. Keith-Miller. The jinx that has pursued her ever since she took up aviation is clinging to her like a stowaway to a wheel strut. Recently you've read how her fiance was found slain in her home in Miami. Fla : how she first was suspected. Anally to be cleared, of being involved in a sinister love triangle; how her flying partner and manager, Captain W. N. Lancaster, was held in connection with the crime. But trouble is an old story to the little Australian women. And here is what has happened since the day in 1926 when she decided to become an aviatrix: • mm IN the first place, she thought that her husband, a Melbourne newspaper man, would be proud of her as a pilot instead of as "a prosaic house wife." Instead, their marriage was wrecked. Her flying took her to lar-away places for long periods of time. Finally, less than a year ago. he divorced her. It was Lancaster, formerly of the Royal Air Force, who taught her to fly. and from that time on the two were firm friends. Early in 1928. after she had become skilled at the controls, they planned a 13.000-mile hop f rom London to Australia. With a toothbrush, comb and a single change of clothing, she set out gaily on an adventure that was planned to require but six weeks. On the very first day they were forced down by fog. Shortly afterward they encountered a sandstorm between Palestine and Bagdad and had to seek refuge at a desert post. Magneto trouble halted them at Bagdad, and a piston jammed in India, and again in Burma. Taking off from Rangoon, they discovered and battled a huge snake that had crawled into the ship. Mrs. Keith-Miller was in the cockpit when they left Batavia. and the motor stalled. Her nose was broken and the plane had to be rebuilt at Singapore. They got to Australia, but the trip took five months. • • • THE pair came to America and Mrs. Keith-Miller was .forced down by water in the gasoline when she attempted a hop to Bermuda. Later in 1928. she failed in several attempts to start from Hampton Roads. Va. In 1929 she won the flying event for women at the Cleveland air races. But two months later, while participating in the national tour, she deliberately ground-looped her ship and smashed her excellent chance of winning when a small boy ran in front of her plane as she was making a landing. For a time, in 1930. her jinx seemed to have been shaken off, for she clipped two transcontinental'speed records for wom**n. In November, flying solo, she was acclaimed for her twelve-hour hop from Pittsburgh to Havana. u • • BUT her jinx caught up with her there. She determined to flv back to Pittsburgh in the plane, which she previously had described as an “unairworthy crate.” It had killed two test pilots a year before, and had been rebuilt for her use. A heavy gale blew Mrs. KeithMiller off her course. Her compass failed; her gasoline ran low. Sighting one of the barren Bahama islands, she landed five miles back in the bush, finally made her way to a hut. and for three days, until she was discovered. had nothing to eat but pawpaws. Finally, however, her ship w’as transported to Miami, and she gamely took off again for Pittsburgh. She crashed at Jacksonville. Penniless and 111. she dropped out of the picture for a time. Mrs. Keith-Miller was planning a come-back in the flying game w’hen the recent tragedy robbed her of her fiance, Haden Clarke, an author who was wTiting the story of her life. But the vivacious, ninety-pound aviatrix says she'll carry on. She'll finish the book, she'll aid in the defense of Captain Lancaster, and shell fly again. Also, she says, she'll lick that jinx.

Yet this tells little in comparison to the comment from the thousands of friends of the deceased who were inspired by contact with a Dynamic personality, who remained humble in success. Mr. Feustel became ill two weeks ago while attending a meeting of the Chicago district federal reserve board of directors. He leturned to Ft. Wayne and was operated on last Tuesday. This was followed by blood transfusions in a vain attempt to save his life. His illness many attributed to the strenuous work done by him during the recent Insull financial difficulties. Mr. Feustel was president of the Midland United Company, largest of the Insull holding companies in Indiana, which controls utilities in more than 800 Hoosier towns and cities. He was also president of the Public Service Company of Indiana and vice-president of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. He was director of the federal

FRENCH CABINET TO QUIT POSTS Tardieu Is Repudiated at Polls Sunday. By Vnitfri Prrtf PARIS, May 9.—The cabinet of Premier Andre Tardieu, whose parliamentary majority was wiped out Sunday in the final voting in the legislative elections, decided today to submit its resignation to the new president to be plected Tuesday. It thus appeared certain that Eduard Herriot, leader of the victorious Radical-Socialists, would be called on to form a government. The Tardieu cabinet decided it would not ask the new president to request the present government to remain in office until the new parliament meets June 1. The radical-socialists now hold a total of 156 seats in the chamber of deputies an increase of 43 over the last chamber, with only results from colonies missing. Socialists gained twenty-three seats for a total of 129 This gave the left wing parties approximately 350 out of the total of 615 seats, a lead of 100 over right wing factions favorable to Tardieu. The nationalist reaction to the assassination of President Doumer was reflected in the defeat of the Communist leaders Marcel Cachin, Jacques Docltis. and Andrew Marty, who once led a revolt in the Black sea.

CONGRESS, RANKLING UNDER HOOVER LASHING, READY TO BALANCE FEDERAL BUDGET Tax Bill Reported Favorably to Senate by Committee; President Confers \\ ith Leaders to Push Economies. ‘FOLKS BACK HOME’ ARE HEARD Members of Both Houses Seem Sobered by Ang-er Over Delay; Fight Over Military Funds Slash Looms.

Bt t nitrd Prr President Herbert Hoover, following up his week-end conferences with senate Republican leaders and Treasury Secretary Mills, conferred today with other of his financial advisors. It was indicated Mr. Hoover was pushing ahead with his efforts to solidify support behind a comprehensive financial program of taxation and fconomy. The senate finance committee, after weeks of discussion, reported its billion-dollar tax bill. Administration support will be attached to the measure in an effort to get it approved promptly. The economy issue was raised in both senate and house. In the senate a resolution by Senator Oddie 'Rep., Nev.) which would have the effect o.’ rescinding a previous 10 per cent reduction in the treasury-postofflre bill, was referred to the appropriations committee. along with a resolution by Senator Copeland <Dem„ N. Y. for a review of all appropriation bills. In the house Republican leaders indicated opposition to some of the economies proposed in the war department supply bill. Tax Bill Is Reported By I iiilnl Pri ** WASHINGTON. May 9.-The $1,030,000,000 tax bill reached the senate floor today with a favorable report from the senate finance committee. Chairman Reed Smoot reported the bill. Smoot said his revised estimate of anticipated income placed the figure at $1,030,000,000. He explained the increase was accounted for by revised estimates on administrative changes in the bill, which are expected now to produce more than $100,000,000, instead of SBO.000.000. "It's as good a bill as we could get." Smoot said. Senator La Follette 'Rep., Wis.) said he would oppose the bill on the floor. Include* Tariff Feature* Previously, the committee voted down members w’ho sought to alter the compromised tax program with a series of amendments designed to change admissions, income and other levies. The committee defeated. 6 to 12. a motion by Senator Shortridge (Rep. Cal.) to reconsider various rates. The bill, as reported, includes tariff features and special excise levies. Chairman McDuffie of the house economy committee today called a meeting of his group to consider new methods of effecting savings in governmental expenses. House Republican leaders declared open opposition to drastic reductions in the pending war department appropriations bill. Fight Military Cut* Minority Leader Snell said that while he favored economies in the army, he was opposed to the retirement of 2.000 regular officers proposed in the Democratic-sponsored supply bill. In addition. Republicans plan a fight on sections of the measure which would suspend the citizens' military training camps and other army reserve activities. Snell pointed out that the $60.000.000 appropriation for rivers and harbors work carried in the war department bill had not "been cut one nickel." He suggested that it might be possible to effect a 5 or 10 per cent reduction in these funds which would more than make up for any, savings lost through defeat bf the sections reducing the officer personnel and suspending reserve activities.

BY RAY TICKER Ttm*i Staff Writer WASHINGTON. May 9.—A congress sobered by protests from the folks back home against further delay over taxation and economy , legislation today showed signs that it was prepared to settle all doubt about its willingness to co-operate in restoring public confidence through balancing the budget. Democrats and Republicans alike agree that the new senate tax bill, which is an all-around compromise, is likely to pass. For the first time, it appears that all factions may unite on the measure. With the bonus demand virtually dead, and a drastic economy program assured strengthening of the national credit as an aid to recovery now' is believed certain and spedy. Despite smoldering resentment against President Hoover's two critical statements, they admittedly struck a popular chord, and had a favorable reaction among the voters. Instead of “showers of propaganda” aimed against economy and taxation proposals, members of both branches are receiving letters riei manding that, they abandon partisanship in a concerted effort to aflord business and industry a chance to gel their breath. Plea Strikes Home Hoover's appeal struck home, where he meant It to —with the people—and they now are letting congress know with a startling disregard cf partisan affiliation how they ieel about the necessity of putung federal finances in older. Senator Royal S. Copeland (Dem.. N. Y.) said he received more than fifty letters within a few hours of publication of Hoover's first pronouncement. Even though the Democrats dispute some of the President's statements. and Republicans arc inclined to claim too much credit for the administration. on all sides there is a disposition to legislate first and argue about political credit later. Popular resentment against months of delay over questions vital to reestablishment of confidence has convinced the legislators it is time to get down to business. See Two Danger* The more sensible men on both sides of the aisle are warning against two threats to real co-operation. Democrats point out that, despite disagreement over details set forth in Hoover’s statement, it is no time to haggle over unimportant matters. Republican advisers are cautioning overzealous colleagues against ; trying to make partisan capital out of the White House Intervention. It generally is realized that an outburst of political debate at this time would cast congress into discredit. It is in the light of this sentiment that major financial measure will be considered within the next few weeks. No rhanee for passage of the bonus bill is seen as a result of re- , fusal of the house ways and means committee to reconsider it. Clever maneuvering by Democratic house bosses has made it impassible for bonus advocates to bring it up on the floor under the discharge rule before June 13. Under present plans, congress will have adjourned by that date. Threat Is Discounted Threats of Representative Wright Patman 'Dem., Tex.) to force congress to return after the conventions, are discounted. Even if congress comes back due to failure to finish other w - ork, the bonus undoubtedly would be defeated in the senate. If It should scrape through there, it would face a presidential veto, and there are not sufficient votes to override Hoover on it. ' Completion of an economy program will be delayed pending consideration of the tax bill, but leaders insist sufficient cuts to balance the budget are in sight. Considerable compromising between congress and the White House will be necessary, especially with regard to the proposed 10 per cent reductions, but legislative spokesmen say the total sliced off will be even greater than Hoover estimates to be necessary for balancing the budget. What is required is a formula for applying proposed reductions without impairing efficiency or inflicting hardships on low-paid government employes, but it is expected a little give-and-take between the legislative and executive branches will provide a solution.
