Tennessee Campaign ‘Gutter.

Politics,” Says Walsh

WASHINGTON, July 28 (U. P)). —The Senate Campaign Expenditures Iommittee sent six investigators to Tennessee today to gather additional evidence of questionable practices in the Democratic primary

campaign.

The action was taken after the committee had studied reports of an agent who said that both Federal and State employees were being assessed for campaign funds. Senator Walsh (D. Mass.), a member of described the Tennessee. situation as

the investigating committee,

“gutter politics.”

The committee also sent investigators to six other states to study charges of coercion: of. relief workers, assessment of Government employees, missuse of franking privi-

leges, and an alleged plot to buy general election. :

The investigation of the campaign in Tennessee was rushed so that the committee would receive a report .before the primary—Aug. 4—in which Senator Berry is opposed by

four other Democrats.

July 28 (U.P). — Howard Hughes and his globegirdling crew, it was revealed today, plan to complete a round-trip flight from New York to South America in little more than tiaree days. : Mr. Hughes itinerary, as outlined to Pan-American Airways, calls for a 4820-mile nonstop flight from New York to Rio de Janeiro to be accomplished in. about 20 hours.

Imports From America WASHINGTON, July 28 (U. P). —Responsible German sources said

today that Germany had offered to negotiate a trade treaty with the United States and had been refused. The offer, they said, would have started a graduated increase of imports from. America, leading to annual guaranteed purchases of Amerjcan goods amounting to $222,000,000 compared with $125,000,000 last year. State Department officials confirmed that the German government had made such a proposal but

| said that it had not conformed to

the basic requirement of this country’s trade pacts—that both signa-. tory nations shall treat each other's goods on a “most-favored-nation” Basis. The United States treats all countries the same, generally, but it claims that Germany discriminates against American goods. As a result of many disputes, GermanAmerican trade has been only a fraction of what it once was. ~Ciermans. here, who spoke for their government, said that the. essence of their offer was to fulfill, as soon as possible, the “most-favored-nation” requirement, and that their government repeatedly had made that clear to American officials. Under the German plan, four typical years of trade between the iwo countries would have been selected with“a guarantee to restore trade to that average level. The years 1931 through 1934 had been suggested. American sales in Germany then varied from $191,000,000 (estimated in current devalued dollars) to $315,000.000, but averaged about $222,000,000. American sales in Germany have never since exceeded even the lowest of those years. Last year they were only $125,000,000. United States officials said that they were cool ro the plan because they regarded the 1931-34 period as depression years rather than typical years. Moreover, they did not like the idea of delay nor icertain “vague” teehnical arrangements about releasing sufficient exchange to pay for the goods.
