- Boston Paper Says

Garner Fights Plan

WASHINGTON, April 18 (U. PJ. —Vice President John N. Garner

~ was represented today as having

raised a firm “It's Got to Stop”

against President Roosevelt's new

pump priming program, maintain-

~ ing that it would weaken national

morale and jeopardize the Federal credit. There is considerable speculation on the role to which Mr. Garner will assign himself in the turbulent summer session of Congress which now seems more likely than the early ‘adjournment plan about which comgressional leaders are talking: Reports of a tiff between Mr. Roosevelt and the Vice President were printed widely last week. Mr. Roosevelt minimized the incident, explaining that he had asked Mr. Garner merely about a quotation attributed indirectly to him by Arthur Krock writing for the New York Times, There is wonder now what the President may say to his second-in-command at a conference of Congressional leaders today or a Cabinet meeting tomorrow if he happens to see a story by M. E. (Mike) Hennessy which appeared in the April 13 issue of the Boston Daily Globe. Mr. Krock’s line: was quip. Mr. Hennessy attributes to Garner a blasty, threatening criticism of the Roosevelt Administration. Mr. Hennessy’s story represents a Garner almost ready to make open challenge against Administration leadership. Referring to} his remarks to legislative croties, Mr. Hennessy continued: “ ‘We've been trying this New Deal spending orgy for six years, and where has it got us? More millions out of work, business again depressed, fear returning, economic and financial security tottering and the national debt increased to a point that.imperils the very structure of the Government. This sort of thing can’t go on. I for one refuse to support more reckless spending. It’s got to stop. > ‘That's Socialism’ “ “This policy of the Government supporting the people, handing out

public funds to bankrupt business concerns and virtually giving mu-

. nicipalities. millions of taxpayers’

money, with the understanding it’s okay if it’s never paid back, and the converting of once independent people into a nation of mendicants, is sheer madness and contrary to every idea of the founders of the republic. “‘That’s socialism, not democracy. Oh, yes, and we're going more and more into housing, encouraging real estate sharpers to operate with public funds, thereby discouraging private capital in such enterprise. Well, not with my consent and suprt. : “‘One thing more. If democracv is to be a political party and not the chattel of the President this planning legislation without consultation with Congressional leaders and sending up here bills with Must orders has got to stop. This is still a government of laws and not of men. We must keep it so even if

‘employer witness as holding that

we have to fight against our party leadership.’ ” | Mr. Garner never gives interviews... He makes no speeches. He

informed of Mr. Hennessy’s story. Asked if he cared to comment on it in connection with its republication, Mr. Garner replied. “No, sir. I don’t care to comment on anything you print.”

that there has been no “break” between President Roosevelt and Vice President John N. Garner. “Lots of people are trying to make a break,” Secretary Stephen T. Early said in response to a direct

President has denied it and I stand ; with him.

in Deadlock Over Tax Bill Tightens .

(Editorial, Page 10)

WASHINGTON, April 18 (U.P). —The deadlock on the revised tax bill tightened today when House conferees again refused to submit the controversy over the undistributed profits and capital gains levies to the House for a showdown vote. : Chairman Harrison (D. Miss.) of the Senate Finance Committee, renewed his plea to House conferees to resubmit the question, but failed to receive their approval. The stalemate centered upon Senate insistence on its amendments repealing the undistributed profits tax and drastically modifying the capital gains levy. “No progress has been made,” Senator Harrison said after an hour’s meeting—the longest since conferees began their deliberations last week, “and from present indications I say no progress will be made.” : Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C) of the House Ways and Means Committee, said that the issues would be taken back to the House only as a “last resort.”

Senate May Refuse La Follette Funds

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 18.—Senator La Follette (Prog. Wis.) today faced an undercover fight against his attempt to obtain from the Senate the $60,000 asked by his Civil Liberties Cqmmittee to complete his investigation. ; . The money is necessary, the committee has reported to the Senate, to disclose the ramifications of a new form of antilabor weapon, a “third party” used by employers in employee-employer disputes. The “third party” detective and spy agencies have been uncovered in detail by the Committee’s inquiries. Another arm of this “third party’—employers associations—now is under investigation. But the Committee’s job has just begun on the newest technique in strikebreaking, the so-called “law and order leagues” and “citizens’ committees.” ' The La Follette Committee’s latest report, urging the additional $60,000 appropriation, quoted one

this latter procedure has become “almost the exclusive method.” The ; continued investigation, if authorized, iss expected to center upon the “little steel” strike of last summer, in which citizens’ committees were active in reopening the struck mills of Tom Girdler’s Republic Steel and other companies. The committee denounced tactics of employer associations in promotine “public” opposition to strikes as Inpnsce to democratic government.”

> the knife was made. This particular knife is decorated with an ivory nude. All the others are figures in costume. That, together with the fact that the carving seems to be 17th Century and the metal may be as late as 19th Century, constitute the mystery. The knives and forks and 10 paintings, including jhe four above, all were recently given the Museum by Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge from the estate of Mrs. Marshal Field. Paintings Are Puzzlers Three of the new pictures are problem pictures and are in the process of being analyzed, so lo speak, for further details. One was attributed to Hendrick Pot, who was a 17th century Dutch pupil of Franz Hals. Despite the fact that it has what appears to be an authentic Pot signature, a peculiar contraction of the man’s initials wherein the right upright stroke of the “H” is used as the upright stroke for the “p,” Mr. Peat did not believe it was by Pot. In the first place, Hals and his pupils painted in bold strokes and usually selected active subjects. This picture, entitled “The Coin Collector” is a philosophic picture of an old man. . So Mr. Peat looked through a large number of art histories and eventually came across an account of one Horatius Pauly, also of the 17th century, but of the Rembrandt school. And, curious enough, he also used the same curious symbol when signing his work. May Be Florentine Work Mr. Peat could find a record of only one gallery picture of Mr. Pauley’s, in Florence, Italy, so he has written for a photograph of it. It is entitled “Man Counting Gold,” a similar subject matter. Mr. Peat thinks he has something there, but cautiously refuses to correct the attribution until he gets a look at Mr. Pauley’s Florence picture. During the Middle Ages, when artists worked in guilds, they looked upon their creations as guild creations and did not sign them. No one, for instance, knows the identity of the great cathedral statuary and art, for that reason. But during the Renaissance, artists considered their work personal creations and signed them, both as an indication that they were proud of them and as a means of letting prospects know who did the pictures and could do another like them. Persons who buy works of art always must be on the watch for fakes or wrong attributions, Mr. Peat said. In their own quiet way the Chinese are ancient masters of the art of faking. They started it 2000 year ago, and now some of the early fakes are considered masterpieces. : : Fake as Good as Masterpiece It takes a little time to get that straightened around in one’s mind, but it takes a lifetime to ‘tell which is the masterpiece and which is the fake of the masterpiece, in its own right a masterpiece. Many Indianapolis persons bring paintings to Mr. Peat for attribution, especially during a depression. They remember the picture in the attic, consider it very old, and get curious about its money value. Not once, Mr. Peat said, has he found one with a spectacular money value, and only occasionally has he found something he considered a museum piece. Mr. Peat says he has grown to look on this as a part of the service the museum gives to the public. ‘ If anyone wants to make the most spectacular find in the art world today, let him find a new oil by Michael Angelo—of - which there is but one in a museum, or a new oil by Leonardo. He'd be worth millions, Mr. Peat said. : Se

Reports from the battlefront were delayed, but Chinese dispatches indicated that the Chinese Sunday morning were slowly closing in on the flaming city of Yihsien. Casualties on both sides ran into the thousands as bloody hand-to-hand fighting raged’ in outlying streets. The Chinese led by a Christian “Good Friday Battalion,” pierced the Japanese outer defenses early Sunday. Chinese military authorities predicted that “history’s biggest Oriental battle” would take place north and south of Suchow, strategic city at the junction of the east-west Lunghai and north-south TientsinPukow Railroads on the southern border of Shantung Province. The Chinese asserted that reports from Shansi and northern Honan Provinces indicated that the Japanese were abandoning hundreds of square miles of territory and rushing thousands of troops into Shantung.

Plot to Overthrow King Carol Foiled

BUCHAREST, Rumania, April 18 (U. P.)—A plot to overthrow King Carol II was frustrated with the arrest of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, leader of the anti-Semitic ProNazi Iron Guards, and 2000 of his followers, the Government announced today. . Armand Calinescu, Interior Minister and “strong man” of the Cabinet, was credited with defeating the plotters. His order for the roundup of suspects was understood to have been issued with the approval of King Carol, who was reported to be in Bucharest. . Gen. Jon Antonescu, War Minister in the Octavian Goga Cabinet, was “granted” 30 days leave and left the country for an undisclosed destination abroad early today. Gen. Antonescu was believed to be sympathetic to the Iron Guard cause. Those arrested included Codreanu’s, father, who was removed from a Mrain as he attempted to leave Bucharest, and an engineer nam lime, successor of Gen. George = Catacuzine as the Iron Guard political party president. Gen. Catacuzine’s nephew and Klime fought together in Spain for the Rebels. * Codreanu, described as the “most virulent anti-Semitic in Europe,” was arrested last night. More than 1000 of his followers were taken into custody in Bucharest.

Andorran Frontier

HENDAYE, April 18 (U. P.)— Rebel forces crossed the Ebro River at its delta today and advanced up both banks.to within six miles of the desperately defended city of Tortosa, where international brigades were in a trap. ; : Gen. Francisco Franco’s troops extended the breach between Northern and Southern Spain more than 43 miles along the Mediterranean sea from the mouth of the

1 Ebro River south to -beyond the

port of Benicarlo. Striking up the coast fromr Vinaroz, the Rebels today occupied Amposta, railway station on the south bank of the river and then crossed over and took the town of Masdenverge. From there they started up the river valley on Tortosa. : gr - Another column occupied Santa Barbara, inland to the west and approximately six miles south of Tortosa on the south bank of the river. Thus two columns were driving up on Tortosa from the south while Italian Black Arrow troops battered at its gates on the north. ; Simultaneously Gen. Franco land‘ed a big force of troops at Vinaroz

to aid in conquering the entire]

Ebro delta region. He expected to bring about the fal lof Tortosa within a few days. tw Meanwhile Rebel units operating in the far north reached the frontier of Andorra, the tiny republic in the Pyrenees between Spain and France.

Pilgrims Leave | Rioting Holy Land

JERUSALEM, April 1 (U. P)— Pilgrims of three faiths, protected by British troops, began leaving the Holy Land today after one of the most violent Easter | week-ends in recent history. Terrorism and fighting between Arab bands and British troops accounted for 63 dead and 100 wounded. A miniature war between the Arabs and the British continued in the district around Nablus and Talkarm. Airplanes, co-operating with ground, forces, were gradually closing in on escaping bands of Arab terrorists. Terrorists had stirred villagers, who threatened to hamper the pursuing trops. Houses belonging to two sheiks in Barwa village were blown up by the troops. The notorious bandit, Abed Mahmood, was shot dead when he attempted to escape from Tulkarm. jail during the disorders. Official reports listed 60 Arabs killed in the fighting. Three Jewish pilgrims, here to celebrate the Passover feast, were shot and killed from ambush near Acre.

Rome-London Pact (Editorial Page 10)

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, April 18 (U. P.). —High diplomatic officials here are convinced that the Anglo-Italian pact signed at Rome on Easter Eve constitutes the biggest practical peace stroke in years. This pact, I was recently informed in London, is only the first of a series of moves planned by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, whose ultimate objective is European appeasement. By a second effort, already begun, he expects to smooth the way for France and Italy to. sign a similar treaty, thus facilitating a triple entente between those two powers and Great Britain. The third will have for object the conversion of Nazi Germany to the Chamberlain plan of Ejropean peace. It is said that Premier Mussolini, himself, will try to sell the idea to Chancellor Hitler when the Fuehrer goes to the Eternal City to visit the Duce two weeks from toMOITOwW. Rome-Berlin Axis Weakened

This, all by itself, constitutes quite a commentary on the RomeLondon accord. Six months ago a powerful military alliance was in the making between Italy and Germany —an glliance which would have been perilous in the extreme for both Britain and France. Today such. an alliance bas been ruled out as inconsistent with the purposes of the Anglo-Italian understanding. Not only that, but Italy is confidently expected to join France and Britain in an effort to bring -Herr Hitler to reason. These developments should have an important bearing on the fate of Czechoslovakia in particular, and Central Europe in general. Already the French charge d’affaires at Rome has been instructed to ask whether Italy is ready to begin negotiations with the Daladier Government in France, which is to rule by decree for six months. Jules I. Blondel, the French envoy is to see Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister, to-

the proper kind of city manager form of government. “It is only through the adoption of business methods in handling the affairs of this city that we can hope to eliminate waste and reduce the cost of government.” Mrs. . Archer Sinclair has been named head of the Friends and Neighbors division of the Women’s Wolff-for-Mayor Clubs. Others helping to organize the division include: -r Mrs. Fred Gardner, Mrs. Louise Haerle, Mrs. Hugh McGibney, Mrs. Alex ‘Holliday, Mrs. William Higgins, Mrs. Benjamin Hitz, Mrs. Roy Shields, Mrs. J. J. Littell, Mrs. Russell Johnston, Mrs. Jesse Fletcher, Mrs. Maxwell Coppock, Mrs. H. H. Hornbrook, Mrs. Orland Church and Mrs. Wylie Daniels.

1934 Candidate Aids Wolff

It was announced that George L. Denny, candidate in 1934 for the Republican mayoralty nomination, and son of the late Caleb Denny, former Mayor, has associated himself with Mr. Wolff’s campaign. Harry C. Hendrickson, former Republican county chairman and former county attorney, also announced he would support Mr. Wolff. Mr. Hendrickson said he is for Mr. Wolff “all the way,” adding: “Mr. Wolff’s freedom from factional politics and his recognized ability insures the city a clean and economical administration. I can not stress too strongly the importance of the primary election. It is the duty of every voter to cast his ballot. It is only through the exercise of this right that we may be able to put into office such men as ‘Mr. Wolff, whose whole interest will be with the people after the election.” Mr, Denny said it was a privilege to be able to indorse a man like Mr. Wolff. : “He has for years been quietly and modestly meeting every civic responsibility without desire for reward of prominence,” Mr. Denny said. : ; “He is the kind of man who will make an ideal Mayor. He has what it takes: Integrity, common sense, courage and a deep interest in the welfare of our people of all classes, and in every section of the city. Of equal importance, under present conditions he has an old-fashioned appreciation of the value of a dollar. ; “From a party standpoint his candidacy is most encouraging for his leadership will heal all past differences. The Republican party, for the first time in years, is rising to its responsibilities. Herman Wolff’s candidacy is exactly what we needed to accomplish that locally.”

Criticizes Daniels’ Support

Mr. Henry, in discussing the water rates, again criticized support of Mr. Wolff’s candidacy by Joseph J. Daniels, attorney for the Water Co. “My. Daniels was for an indefinite truce in regard to the fight to reduce water rates in this city,” said Mr. Henry. “Is Mr. Wolff for an indefinite truce? “Personally, I believe the rates are too high, and I shall do everything in my power, should I be elected Mayor of Indianapolis, fo obtain reductions.” Mr. Henry asked that Mr. Wolff make clear his proposed policies re‘garding track elevation and the gas utility problem in addition to the water rates.

“No Legal Loopholes”

Mr. Haerle said the only sure way to deter trime is to “let the prospective offenders know that there are no legal loopholes or political pull by which they can escape prosecution.” “I sincerely pledge,” he said, “that instead of appointing incompetent and inefficient deputies, I will seek the best legal talent in Indianapolis to assist me in the conduct of the office of Prosecutor. Case after case has been either lost or weak-

stabilizing income and price levels, .. . I believe all of us must do some serious thinking about the possibili= ties of a minimum annual wage. We must eat by the year, rent by the year and wear clothing by the year,

| Yet we are paid by the hour, or the

week or the month. Attacks Fluctuations

“If the income and job security of the working men were spaced over an annual period, purchasing power would be steadied and industry could more accurately plan to meet the needs of the people.”

After attacking “widely fluctuate ing prices,” the Governor said: “The task at hand is to put idle

‘capital back to work. The task

at hand is to put idle hands back to work. The task at hand is to lift the purchasing power of the people so that the steel mills in the Calumet district, the auto works in South Bend, Anderson, Newcastle and Evansville, and the many other industries in the state can bring their employees back to work.” Governor Townsend then cited the three phases of the President's recovery program: Additional funds for the CCC, WPA and NYA and loans to small business; ree lease of the gold storage supply, and funds for slum clearance and low cost housing. He asserted that Indiana is prepared to participate in and benefit by this Federal program, particue larly in reference to housing.
