“Hull Urges Germany to Pay: Chinese Flood Beats Japanese; Jews Sutter New Nazi Terror
Police and Storm Troop. ers Join in Campaign At Berlin.
BERLIN, June 17 (U. P.).—Germany has embarked on a new largescale anti-Jewish drive, foreign observers were convinced today when the current campaign was extended | to school rooms where children | were warned not to associate with Jews. | Foreign embassies and legations, who feared that the interests of their nationals might be involved, watched closely a series of developments including widespread ar- | rests of Jews and new official measures against them. Teachers in the school of Berlin | and other cities gave special lec- | tures enjoining children never to set foot in Jewish shops and to refuse requests, even from their parents, to buy anything from Jews. Provocation Charged
Official spokesmen said the antiJewish action was necessary because the behavior of Jews “lately has become provocative, resulting in growing indignation abong the pop- | ulation.” Every aspect of Jewish life was now involved in a campaign, con-
ducted by ordinary police, uniformed { by
Storm Troopers, and Nazis in civilian garb, which brought new terrors | to the Jewish population and new concern to foreign interests.

to control the great Yellow River | flood pouring across central China. | As the end of a 48-hour crisis | neared, the river had spread over more than 1500 square miles. Thousands of persons were drowned; 3500 or more villages were under water and more than 700,000 were homeless. The river threatened to break a new outlet to the sea some 300 miles south of its present mouth. Japanese military reports said that 200,000 refugees were being cared for in military camps, while 500,000 were marooned.
Refugees Eat Bark
Many refugees were desperate. In many areas they were forced to eat tree bark. The Japanese said that in many sectors their own garrisons were in danger.
Japanese planes flew along the dykes dropping food to Japanese troops and farmers working at the breaches. Rafts and sampans sailed over the flooded area rescuing farmers from roof tops in villages inundated within the last 24 hours. Near the flood center the swiftness of the current made rescue impossible and Japanees reports said that every living thing was wiped out by the raging floods. Yesterday the engineers reported a 48 hour crisis-period had started. They noted a slight drop in the | water level, and said if the recession continued the flood which now had isolated or overwhelmed hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and Japanese soldiers might be stopped. Today they reported the level was | | rising again. Rain was pouring | down throughout the river valley, | dike breaches were widening and at any time after today the great river may change its entire course. Army engineer said unless the flood was brought under control at once they believed the river would break a new course.
New Floods Reported
It was as if the Mississippi, at its junction with the Arkansas south of Memphis, Tenn., were to break into a new course and empty into the Gulf of Mexico at Appalachicola, Fla., or Galveston,» Tex. through Mississippi, Alabama and Florida or through Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas—drowning all in its new path. For the present the Japanese reported, the numerous foreigners in the Kaifeng area along the Yellow River were safe, having found shelter on a protective ridge west of the | | city. But the Yellow River flood which | had stopped all military action by | the Japanese on that front was not the only one. Japanese admitted for the first time today that big floods menaced them on the Grand Canal, north of the Yellow River, and on the Yangtze, where they now centered their drive on Hankow.
Toll Estimates Difficult
It was admitted the waters of the Grand Canal were rising “alarm- | ingly” because of penetration by | the Yellow River flood waters. Also the flood was becoming more serious along the Yangtze on the Japanese path toward Hankow, the emergency Chinese capital. Meanwhile a development of considerable political importance took place at Hankow. Deferring to demands for a fully united front toward Japan, the Chinese Government appointed a new ‘“people’s advisory council” on war policy, with Wang Ching-wei, former Foreign Minister, as chairman and representatives of the Communists and Socialists, in addition to a number of liberal educators, as members.
Japan Rejects Soviet Bombing Protest.
TOKYO, June 17 (U. P). — A Soviet protest against Japanese air raids in China was rejected today by the Japanese Foreign Office, which in turn demanded that Russia cease sending planes and pilots to China. In his first interview with the foreign press today, Gen. Kazushige Ugaki, new Foreign Minister, said Japan may reconsider its decision not to negotiate with the Chinese National Government, For the present, Gen. Ugaki said,
REDUCED DEBT PROPOSAL SEEN AIM OF BRITAIN
Kennedy Reported Carrying Plan for Payments on Scaled Basis.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor
WASHINGTON, June 17.—Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, now hurrying back to America on the Queen Mary, is reported to be bringing with him a British war-debt proposal based on the Hungarian model. The Hungarian «ebt, originally $1,685,000, was incurred for relief supplies after the World War. Interest added, it now stands around $2,300,000. What Budapest now proposes is to wipe the slate clean of everything except the original debt, less the amounts paid to date, leaving a balance of $1,207,000 to be liquidated. This it proposes to do in 30 annual payments of approximately $40,235 each. The British debt, after the war, amounted to $4,075,000,000. With unpaid interest added, it was funded in 1923 at $4,600,000,000. Payments aggregating $1,823,000,000 have been made. But nearly $1,000,000,000 interest having been left in default in recent years, the obligation now exceeds $5,000,000,000. ? Applying the Hungarian principle, the British debt would scale down to a little more than $2,000,000,000, which could be paid off in 30 annual installments of about $70,000,000 each.
F. D. R. Reported Favorable
There is reason to believe President Roosevelt would welcome such an offer. But Congress is another story. For although the President transmitted the Hungarian proposal to Congress on March 28, with the suggestion that, in his opinion, it should “receive the most careful consideration,” apparently it has received no consideration at all. That Great Britain would have little, if any, difficulty paying her war debt to the United States if she really tried very hard is indicated by George P, Auld, former accountantgeneral of the Reparations Commission. Writing in Foreign Affairs, this week, he says: “The foreign holdings of British investors. . . . have been estimated to amount to between $15,000,000,000 and $20,000.000,000. . . , the liquid balances held abroad. , . are substantial. And it does not seem impossible that a scheme of moderate payments on the British war debt. . cculd be taken care of by a mobilization of floating foreign balances. without levying to any important extent on the long-term holdings.”
Problem Need Not Arise
The transfer problem, always so

much emphasized, really { need to arise, in his opinion. “For the past four years,” he “various countries have been sending gold to the United States in amounts aggregating over a billion dollars a year, representing roughly the world’s annual production of newly mined gold. In exchange. individual European investors and others acquired American dollar bank balances and securities.” Except in special instances, he observes these transactions “were made without seriously threatening the monetary systems of the countries concerned. And, large though they were, they produced nothing approaching a disruption of the international economic system.” Thus, he goes on to say: “Let us suppose, then, the bookkeeping tags on those shipments— or rather on a part of them—had been changed so that instead of reading, say, ‘For credit to the investment account of Samuel Johnson or Jacques Coeur of Europe, with the Babylonian Trust Co. of Wall Street,” they had been inscribed ‘For credit of the war account with the United States Treasury’ Had that happened, large payments could clearly have been made on the debts with no serious injury to either debtor or creditor.”
Cites Polls
Mr. Auld’s conclusion is that whatever the debt problem may be, it does not arise pr imarily from the debtor countries’ lack of gold or foreign exchange. “It is rather a question of whether the debtor governments can raise public funds with which to purchase from their nationals part of their individual holdings of gold or dollar balances.” Mr. Auld believes, and cites na-tion-wide polls to bear him out, that the American public increasingly favors war-debt reduction and settlement. However, he adds, he thinks America wants Britain. France and the other debtors to make the first move.

Earnest Probe of Relief in Politics Charges Pledged by Senator Sheppard; Minton to Carry On Study of Press
Hoosier’'s Request Zor More Funds Turned Down by Senate.
(Continued from Page Une)
mittee found the magazine had lost nearly a million dollars and that it was carrying “anti-New Deal propaganda” to farmers through free circulation under “the pretext that it was nonpartisan and paying its way | through legitimate advertising.” “Glenn Frank is the editor and he is just as nonpartisan as the Republican Party,” Senator Minton said. “The financing came from Frank Vanderlip, the Wall Street banker; George Ball, the Muncie millionaire, directors of Allis Chalmers at Milwaukee and such friends of the farmers.” Senator Schwellenbach (D. Wash.), a member of the Lobby Committee, defended Senator Minton, and charged he is being fought by the same interests which still are fighting Justice Black on the Supreme Court “because both have dared to fight for the people.”
Expects More Funds
Mr, Minton gave up his fight only upon assurance from Senator Byrnes (D. S. C)), chairman of the Senate Audit and Control Committee, that he would again recommend the funds next year. “I am only sorry Senator Burke prevented a vote on the appropriation,” Senator Minton said. “Not more than five Senators would have voted against it. Next session we will get the money.” Much of the heat of the debate was based on criticism of a speech Senator Minton made against the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association some weeks ago when he introduced a bill to make the printing of false news punishable by fines and imprisonment. Later he said he didn’t intend the measure seriously, but today he declared: “I still think it was a good bill, Why should newspapers be allowed to print lies knowingly?” Senator Clark asked Senator Minton if “an objective study” isn’t what Joseph Goebbels calls his censorship of foreign correspondents’ dispatches in Germany. “Maybe he does,” Senator Minton replied. “But I see no reason why we cannot determine if the press is lying.” Senator Burke argued that libel laws protect against lies in the press. The wire-tapping bill, also defeated in the closing. Senate session, was passed by the Senate, May 18, without debate or roll call, and was shot through the House Wednesday in the hurried consideration of numerous “minor” bills. The House, however attached an | amendment intended to ban unau‘snooping” by Government
| agents on the private affairs of citi- | zens.
The amendment required Senate concurrence, and when the gavel banged adjournment no effort had been made to call it up in the Senate.
TVA Charges Half of
Costs to Power
WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. P). —The Tennessee Valley Authority recommended today that more than half of the Government's total $94,125,671 investment in the Wheeler, Norris and Wilson dams in the Tennessee Valley be charged to power.
Eastman Appeals To Rail Labor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 17 (U. P.) —Interstate Commerce Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman today called upon railway labor to adjust its policies and practices to changing conditions in the transport industry “from the standpoint of its own good. Speaking before the Harvard Business School Alumni Association, Mr. Eastman said the railroad industry “must go through a process of painful readjustment” and that “employees may well consider how best they can help that process in their own self-interest, and reconsider their traditions, customs, practices and policies in that light.”
Dispersing Congressmen Turn to Campaign Wars; Extra Session Is Hinted
WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. P.).—The 75th Congress, swept to office with the 1936 Roosevelt whirlwind, dispersed to the campaign wars today after having appropriated 21 billion dollars during time out from bruising ' battles which split the New Deal-Democratic Party wide open.
Congress adjourned last night &— sine die amid scattering warnings that national emergency might require a special session in the autumn. Railroad problems were high on the list of potentially urgent recess problems. Final business of Congress was to appropriate $3,752,000,000 to spend against depression and vote a 290 million-dollar deficiency bill, part of which will start the nation's emergency Naval construction, Since Jan. 3, when this final session convened, Congress has appropriated approximately 12 billion dollars—a peace time record.
Generous to Farmers
This Congress, born in a fload tide of returning recovery, died in a depression ebb, It was generous
to farmers to the last. The Recovery bill appropriation included, 212 million dollars for subsidies to cotton, corn, rice, wheat and tobacco farmers, voted over Mr. Roosevelt's protest against unbudgeted expenditures. In its final day Congress bounced back at the White House a veto message in which Mr. Roosevelt sought to prevent extension of low interest privileges to farm borrowers at a cost of 48 million dollars annually. The Senate quit last night at 7:22 p. m. (Indianapolis Time), cutting off fiilibuster dispute over new appropriations for the Lobby investigation. The House followed at 8:10 p. m. (Indianapolis time).
Vice President Garner took a night train for Uvalde, Tex. Mr. Roosevelt and his party left last night, for Massachusetts to attend the wedding of his youngest son, John, to Anne Lindsay Clarke, of Boston. Mr. Garner and a group of old line Democrats are judged now to be out of sympathy with some of Mr. Roosevelt's major aims— and specially with continued big spending accompanied by huge Treasury deficits. Mr. Roosevelt himself, shortly, will embark on a transcontinental journey dipping deeply into political waters from coast to. coast.
1940 Fight Foreshadowed
The battle is one to determine the factional and party complexion of the new Congress. It foreshadows the 1940 struggles between conservatives and liberals for control of both the Republican and Democratic nominating conventions. Chairman Joseph W. Martin (Mass.), of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee promised Republicans would pick up a minimum of 76 seats in November. Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y.), said adjournment ended “a session remarkable for the irresponsibility of its squandering of the people's money which has not been approached by any other Congress.” The New Deal found much comfort, if great disappointment and blistering defeat, in the legislative
record. Politcial observers generally |
'G. 0. P. CONVENTION
rate Republican chances of gaining control of the House this year at prohibitive odds, and the Senate will remain safely Democratic regardless of November polling. But it was in this Congress that conservative and liberal wings of the Democratic party began to draw apart in the shadow of almost unexampled bitterness aroused by Mr. Roosevelt's proposal in February, 1937, to increase the membership of the Supreme Court to 15 persons Flying proudly from the New Deal halyards today are the bright signals of victory on wages and hours legislation. That was the outstanding Roosevelt legislation triumph of the 75th session. But this session junked Mr. Roosevelt's bill to reorganize the executive departments of Govérnment just as the 1937 session junked
| judiciary reorganization. At White House word Congress whipped through a $1,157,000,000 emergency Naval construction authorization, sought only after the United States Government reluctantly became convinced that the arms limitation program, launched in the Harding Administration, had swamped in the seas of world-wide turmoil. Of his “must” program Mr. Roosevelt obtained crop surplus control power and funds, and creation of the United States Housing Authority to lead the slum clearance attack on the problem of the ‘ill housed.” Farm aid, national defense and relief accounted for almost half the $21,656,174,000 which appropriations committee accountants reported the 75th Congress had voted to spend.
Rep. Gray Votes Alone—Loses
Times Special WASHINGTON, June 17, Dressed in his new long-tailed coat of white linen, with black and white shoes and similar summer raiment, except for his three-inch stiff collar and bosom shirt which he still clings to regardless of the heat, longhaired Rep. Finly Gray left for Indiana today still grumbling about his failure to keep Congress in session. Throughout the closing weeks Mr. Gray has risen on the floor and warned he would fight adjournment until his money plan of curing the depression by issuing greenbacks was adopted. Last night when Rep. Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.), Majority Leader, offered the privileged resolution to adjourn, Rep. Gray arose and demanded the yeas and nays. The Congressional record published the result today as follows: “Mr. Gray of Indiana—Mr. Speaker, I demand the yeas and nays.” “The Speaker—Those who favor taking this vote by the yeas and nays will arise and stand until counted. (After counting.) One member has arisen. Not a sufficient number. The yeas and nays are refused. “So the sine die resolution was agreed to.”
Veterans Get Billion, Larrabee Reveals
Times Special WASHINGTON, June 17.—More than a billion dollars was voted for the veterans’ administration, and 20 laws passed for the benefit of exservice men by the 75th Congress, Rep. William H. Larrabee (D. Ind.) reported in the Congressional Record today. This summary of achievement for veterans and dependents by the Congress which is about to close was prepared at his request by Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs, Rep. Larrabee reported.
DELAY SUGGESTED
VALPARAISO, June 17 (U. P.).— Porter County's 16 delegates to the Republican State Convention were on record today as favoring postponement of the convention until sometime after the Democratic State nominating session. Other petitions to the same effect are being circulated in all counties of the Second Congressional District. The recess move resulted from a letter by Senator Vandenburg (R. Mich.) to L. M. Whipple, editor of the Valparaiso Vidette-Messenger, in which the Senator termed the Republican plan to hold their convention before the Democrat's a “colossal blunder.”

first state into which the commite tee will look. The other newcomer to the come mittee is Senator Walsh (D. Mass.), also an experienced investigator, who criticized the investigation resolution during Senate debate as not being broad enough.
Neither Pro-Roosevelt
Neither Senator Harrison nor Senator Walsh is a close friend of the Roosevelt Administration. They were appointed to the committees by the canny Vice President Garner —a private critic of some New Deal tendencies—with, in the opinion of some, ‘malice aforethought.”
The two other committeemen are Senators O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), who opposed the Supreme Court “pack= ing” bill and thus lost favor with the New Deal, and Senator White (R. Me.). Chairman Sheppard is a party regular and has been loyal to the New Deal right down the line, but he is a conscientious worker. The new setup of the committee suggests it may be more effective than orige inally was thought. Kentucky was not mentioned during the debate on the resolution, but it apparently was very much on the mind of Senator Barkley, who looked none too comfortable during the discussion. He was responsible for having the inquiry made by the Sheppard Committee. He insisted the Sheppard Come mittee had ample authority to ine
vestigate all charge of political use of Federal agencies and of state agencies which receive Federal funds. He mentioned particularly state highway departments. The
Kentucky highway department has been active on behalf of Governor Chandler, Mr. Barkley's op=ponent in the Aug. 6 primary.
House Whip Favors Rules Committee Curb
Times Special WASHINGTON, June 17.—Rep. Patrick J. Boland (D. Pa.), majority whip of the House, declared as Cone gress adjourned last night “the power of the House Rules Commite« tee ought to be curbed.” He predicted action toward that end early in the next Congress,
through a caucus of what he expects to be a continued Democratic majority. Mr. Boland, who represents a dis« trict in which the United Mine Workers are strong, made his state= ment following announcement by Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treas-urer of the miners and lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, that C. I, O. forces will poll all Congressional candidates on their willingness to change the House rules, particularly those affecting the powers of the Rules Committee.
TIMES BARGAINING HEARING DATE SET
The National Labor Relations Board, through Regional Director Robert H. Cowdrill, today fixed June 27 as the date of a Board hear=ing here on the proper bargaining unit and majority representation in commercial departments of The Indianapolis Times. The Indianapolis Newspaper Guild's amended petition to the Board claimed representation in the following commercial departments as a unit: Telephone, maintenance, circulae tion, transportation, warehouse, mail room or traction loader, advertising and business office, which the petie tion estimated as covering approxe imately 100 full-time employees. Neither J. K. Shepard, president of the Indianapolis Newspaper Guild, nor The Indianapolis Times management would comment today,
