COMMITTEE MAY VISIT MARION IN VETERANS’QUIZ Tentative Decision Reached by House Probers to Question Bankers. / BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, June 6.—Members of the house subcommittee of veterans affairs, charged with investigation of guardianships of World war veterans’ estates, will probably go to Marion, Ind., to question bankers under oath as to transactions there. This tentative decision was announced today by Chairman Wright Patman (Dem., Texas), at the close of the morning hearing of further testimony from Samuel Cleland, Ft. Waiyne attorney who conducted the Marion investigation for the veterans’ bureau. pnly by putting persons who carried on the investments for the veterans in the insane hospital there under oath can facts unobtainable fyy Mr. Cleland be procured, it was agreed. ‘Sour’ Investments Listed Among the “sour” investments related to the committee by Mr. Cleland today was $9,212 in bonds of the swank Mayflower hotel here. Mr. Cleland had estimated that these were worth 50 cents on the dollar but since coming here he believes this estimate too high, he said. He also told of a $4,000 investment in Chilean nitrates which no one could explain as to how it came to be included in the estates. Such information must be procured by the committee with power to summon and swear witnesses, he said. Mr. Cleland reiterated his opinion that the Grant Trust and Savings bank unloaded “cats and dogs” in the w r ay of investment securities from its affiliate, the Marion Title and Loan Company, before merging with the First National bank. Now all are out of business. The Indianapolis Times was credited by Mr. Cleland with uncovering much of the information in the Marion case. Griswold at Hearing Representative Glenn Griswold (Dem., Ind.), whose resolution produced the investigation, sought to show that the bad investments were approved by Barney Breedlove, veterans’ bureau attorney at Indianapolis. He introduced into the record the case of Herbert Burnside in an effort to prove his point. Burnside, one of the insane hospitalized veterans, lost much of his estate through “sour” securities, the transactions being approved both by Mr. Breedlove and Judge O. D. Clawson of Grant circuit court, according to Mr. Griswold. Y. D. Mathes, attorney for the veterrns administration here, questioned Mr. Cleland in an effort to show the administration blameless in these cases.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FILIBUSTER IS THREATENED BY SENATEG. 0. P. Republicans Will Demand Adjournment Showdown; Bonus Revived. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 6.—Republicans demanded a showdown 'today on aongressional adjournment and threatened to filibuster if President Roosevelt insists on enactment of his expanded legislative program. Some administration bills may be scuttled. The Republican demand was made as the perennial bonus issue suddenly was revived from the slow death to which it had been relegated by the finance committee. The committee decided to report the bonus bill to the senate, probably unfavorably. This would place it on the calendar, permitting it to be called up for a vote before the end of the session. The move was seen as an answer to possible charges of pigeon-holing the controversial subject. Chances of a vote were uncertain, depending to a considerable extent on the adjournment plans and the Republican filibuster threat. Democratic as well as Republican leaders were anxious for a quick adjournment. To accomplish this, the administration’s leaders would be willing to abandon some measures favored by the President. If a sufficient show of resistance is forthcoming from the Republican camp, the President’s program might be altered. In order to give Mr. Roosevelt both sides of the picture, another White House visit was planned. Senate majority leader Joseph T. Robinson and minority leader Charles L. McNary arranged to confer jointly with the President and review the whole legislative outlook.

FIVE SLAIN IN SPANISH FARM LABORSTRIKE Rich Crop Threatened by Walkout; Woman Is Among Dead. By United Press MADRID, June 6. —Fatal disorders today marked the outbreak of a national strike of farm laborers as- crops all over the country were endangered. Five dead, including one woman, were reported from various parts of Spain. Two strikers and a civil guardsman were killed in a fight at Alconchel. Fifty peasant strikers were trying to intimidate a group of nonstrikers. Two guardsmen tried to restore order and firing started. Two hundred men and women tried to liberate strikers arrested at Fondalla for similar intimidation of men who stayed at their tasks. Guardsmen there were able to keep their prisoners and disperse the crowd, firing into the air. Versions of the success of the strike varied widely. The government, which had denounced it as revolutionary in aim, asserted that it was a failure and that comparatively few men were out. The powerful Land Workers’ Federation, directing the strike, said nearly all its 1.000,000 workers were out. Whatever the truth, one of Spain’s richest crops in many years was endangered by the strike, called to force better working conditions.

TARIFF SETUP THREATENEU BY BEST SQUABBLE ¥ " U. S. Reciprocal Program Is Jeopardized by Nations in Default. (Copyright, 1934, by United Press) WASHINGTON, June 6.—The war debt crisis today jeopardized success of President Roosevelt’s “Yankee trading” tariff program. General debts default aggregating more than $11,000,000,000 will be effective June 15, when semi-annual instalments are due. Great Britain, latest default recruit, owes $4,713,000,000. Officials believe borrowers will attempt to raise the debt issue in any reciprocal tariff discussions initiated by the United States. This is in lieu of the first debtor objective, a general debt conference to which they are aware the administration will not consent. Reciprocal tariff authority sought by President Roosevelt is assured. It may become law this week. But congress has been careful to gag tariff negotiators against debt concessions. Authorities agreed it will be practically impossible to exclude debt discussion from reciprocal trade negotiations. But with concessions prohibited by congress, discussion promises little of value to the debtor governments. The reference in the tariff bill to debts says: “Nothing in this act shall be construed to give any one authority to cancel or reduce in any manner any of the indebtedness of any foreign country to the United States. Administration officials faced this problem as they began organization of machinery with which to conduct the trade negotiations with a score or more foreign countries. The only hope was that debt discussion might be confined to a minor role.
