Hoosier Attacks
Waste in Washington
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, March 3— Charges of “bureaucratic inefficiency and waste” in the unemployment compensation administration here were made today by Clarence A. Jackson, Indiana Unemployment Compensation Division director. Informed of the charges, Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer of the Social Security Board, declined to"
comment. The charges were contained in a letter sent to Rep. Larrabee (D. Ind.), who put it into the Congressional Record. Mr. Jackson charged that division of administration between the Social
opportunities for mistakes and failures and inexcusable waste of public funds than any other type of legislation I know of.” He declared that the duplicating bureaucracy places great burdens on state administrations, that in Indiana 2520 copies of budgets must be prepared annually under the present law. He urged that action be taken by the present Congress to amend the law so that unemployment compensation administration would be consolidated and efficiency restored. “By correcting these obvious errors in the law, millions of dollars annually can be saved in administration cost, and administrative efficiency cah be increased,” he said.
Clarence A. Jackson, Indiana Unemployment Compensation Division director, said here today that copies of the letter were sent to President Roosevelt; Governor Townsend, all members of the Indiana delegation to Congress, Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor; Henry Morganthau, Secretary of the Treasury, and all members of the Social Security Advisory Board. He refused to comment further on the matter.
TVA Chairman Charges Conspiracy
Times Special WASHINGTON, March 3.—Chairman A. E. Morgan of TVA today renewed his attack on the two ether TVA board members and on Senator Berry (D. Tenn.), and asked for an investigation of TVA by a joint Senate-House committee. “To a steadily increasing degree,” he said in a 36-page statement, “I have contended with an attitude of conspiracy, secretiveness and bureaucratic manipulation, which has made the proper and effective conduct of TVA business increasingly difficult. “During this period the public has been steadily, and I believe purposely, led to believe that the difficulties within the TVA have been due primarily to differences as to power policy, or to just another ‘family quarrel’ “The real difficulty has been in the effort to secure honesty, openness, decency and fairness in Gov-

Tax Bill Called
Cut in Revenue
WASHINGTON, March 3 (U. P.). —House Republicans, charging that the Administration’s business tax revision program will not produce as much revenue as the present tax structure, today drew the admission the revised levies would cost the Government 22 or 23 million dollars annually. As Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C.) of the House Ways and Means Committee opened debate on the measure, Minority Leader Ber-
breakdown of the estimated revenue yields. The House opened debate on the measure after it was disclosed that it carries an obscure clause repealing the law which requires the Treasury to report to Congress all corporation salaries in excess of $15,000, Admit Deccline Rep. Doughton and Rep. Fred M. Vinson (D. Ky.), chairman of the Subcommittee which drafted the bill, assured Rep. Snell that the ‘Treasury estimated the new measure would yield approximately the same revenue as existing law. Om Rep. . Snell’s insistence, however, Rep. Vinson finally said: “When the Subcommitiee finished its, report we were told that we were ahead two million dollars plus. After the report certain changes were made which gave an additional 24 or 25 million dollars of relief, so that the net loss would be 22 or 23 million.” Rep. Snell insisted that the House should have a breakdown of the estimated yield from each type of tax. He asserted the pending bill was the most | ‘important revenue measure in two years. Rep Doughton defended the undistributed profits tax, which the pending bill retains in principle. “During the hearings not a single specific case of undue hardship was established,” he said.
Labor Control by
Magnates Proposed
By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, March 3.—A proposal that a group of less than a dozen men take control of the labor policies of American business has been unearthed by the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee of the Senate and will be investigated further, The proposal was made in 1934 in a letter from W. Frew Long, Associated Industries of Cleveland general manager, to James A. Emery, National Association of Manfacturers general counsel.

Accused Russian Changes Plea; Great Britain Linked in ‘Plot’ Japs Choose Nanking Premier
Austrian Nazis Agree To Compromise With Vienna.
MOSCOW, March 3 (U. P).— Nicholas N. Krestinsky, for nine years Soviet Ambassador to Germany, threw a climatic touch of
drama into the treason trial of 21 Bolshevik leaders today by making a sweeping admission of all charges against him. The bebpertacied, middle-aged defendant, who despairingly fought for his life yesterday by repudiating his confession and pleading not guilty, reversed himself today and abjectly affirmed the charges of espionage and wrecking. Today Andrew Vishinsky, the sharp-tongued prosecutor, asked him sternly: “Do you admit that you deceive the court when you say you withdrew from your Jeol dys position?” Krestinsky replied in a shaking voice: “Yesterday, under the pressure of
‘| shame and also because of illness,
I said that instead of being guilty, I was not guilty. I plead completely guilty to all my crimes.”
Tell of ‘Murder Plot
His about-face followed an assertion by Christian Rakovsky, former Ambassador to Great Britain and France, that the letter written to Leon Trotsky by Krestinsky, repudiating Trotskyism, was an alibi. Previously Prokopi Zubarev, who was Assistant Agriculture Commissar, admitted a plot to murder Josef Stalin and the highest Soviet officials. He testified that he had organized a terroristic group within the commissariat to kill M. Stalin, Lazar Kaganovich, communications commissar; Klementi Voroshilov, war commissar, and Viacheslav Molotov, president. Zubarev asserted he had been instructed by Vladimir I. Ivanov, former . forestry commissar, to give secret information on agriculture, particularly about supplies and storage, on behalf of Germany. Ivanov testified earlier and gave specific details of charges that the defendants had plotted with Great Britain to overthrow the Government,
Lumber Sales Involved
Ivanov swore that Nikolai Ivanovitch Bukharin, chief defendant, one-time president of the Communist Internationale, called for years the “heir apparent to Lenin.” told him that the opposition had an agreement with Britain to overthrow the Soviet Regime. He quoted Bukharin as saying that it was necessary to give “adey| vances” to Britain to keep her support. Hence, he swore, Arkhadi P. Rosengoltz, as Foreign Trade Commissar, sold Britain millions of dollars worth of timber at low prices:
MEXICO CITY, March 3 (U. P.). —The refusal of Nicholas N. Krestinsky to confess his guilt in the mass trial of Soviet leaders at Moscow “shows even the blind that the trial was framed,” Leo Trotsky, exiled war lord, charged today. “The testimony that I ordered terroristic acts is too absurd to merit refutation,” Gen. Trotsky added. ‘
Nazis ‘Protect’
Rev. Mr. Niemoeller
BERLIN, March 3 (U. P.)—The Rev. Martin Niemoeller, militant leader of the Evangelical Church, has been taken into “protective custody,” ‘because during his trial which ended yesterday he indicated that he intended to resume activities hostile to the state, foreign newspapermen were informed today.

Japs Find Head for
Nanking Government SHANGHAI, March 3 (U. P.).—
Japanese leaders here reported to-.
day that Tong Shao-yi, first Premier of the Chinese Republic after the 1911 revolution, had agreed to head a Japanese-controlled mid-~ China provisional Government at Nanking. Former Premier Tong, an elder statesman, is a Columbia University graduate. He is considered by many to be the most likely man to head a permanent regime at Peiping.
Japanese Liberal Leader Attacked
TOKYO, March 3 (U.P.).—Police leaders were called into emergency meeting today to discuss the protection of members of Parliament after a savage attack by unidentified men on Iso Abe, Left Wing Social Mass Party leader and Liberal bloc spokesman. Government authorities called the police meeting after a turbulent Diet session, in which members shouted angry protests against the attack and demanded prompt action. Prince Fumimaro Xonoye, the
Premier, sought vainly to quiet Diet |
members by giving them his personal assurance that extra precautions would be taken. About four unidentified men knocked this morning at the door of Abe’s apartment. As he opened the door, he was struck in the jaw with .a club. The intruders fled. Medical examination showed that Abe’s jaw was fractured and that he would not be able to take. part in debates for two weeks.
Austrian Nazis
Agree to Compromise
VIENNA, March 3 (U. P.)—Dr. Arthur von Seyss-Inquart, Nazi Interior Minister, has effected a working compromise with turbulent Nazis of Styria Province, it was reported today, and hope rose that a threatened showdown could be avoided. It was reported that he had agreed
that they might wear their Nazi em= blems and give the Nazi salute pro= vided that they refrained from antiGovernment activities and joined the Government's Fatherland Front, promising to support. it morally and financially.
Britain Gives Army Half Billion
LONDON, March 3 (U. P.).— Army estimates totaling $532,500,000 for the fiscal year beginning April 1 were published by the Government today as part of a $1,716,250,000 de= fense program for 1918—with the peak year still to comes British Government - bonds declined on the stock exchange bee

To this was added an allotment from the National Defense Loan, making a total increase of $121,630,000 over the present year. Tomorrow the Navy estimates are to be published, totaling $770,150,000, it was indicated. Air force estimates, published yesterday, totaled $513,000,000.
Two Defense Bills
Reported to House
WASHINGTON, March 3 (U. P.), —The House Naval Affairs Commite tee today favorably reported the billion dollar Naval expansion bill as embittered controversy broke out around another war measure—the May bill to take the profits out of war. The favorable report on Presldent Roosevelt's measure to strengthen American war fleets by . 20 per cent, placed war profits and - naval defense measures as major problems before the House. Chairman Andrew J. May (D. Ky.) of the House Military Affairs Committee, in urging adoption of
-his bill to take the profits out of
war, warned the House earlier against seeking to write a measure detailing specific tax provisions in
advance of actual conflict. . His re-
port urged a program of “pay as you BE ” in case of future wars.
