RAIL UNION HEAD FLAYS BANKERS

Proposes Federal Control; Other Labor Men Back Committee Plan.

(Copyright. 1938. by United Press) CLEVELAND, Dec. 31.—Solution to the financial plight of the nation’s $26,000,000,000 railroad industry lies in a Government holding company to finance them and seize their control from bankers, ' the president of the largest railway brotherhood told the United Press today. Alexander F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, claiming 135,000 members among the nation’s rail workers, urged the coming Congress to stretch the: recommendations of President Roosevelt’s Rehabilitation Committee and perform ‘a major operation of some sort.” The American Association of Railroads yesterday indorsed the recommendations of the President’s committee.

Seeks U. S. Bond Plan Assailing the bankers for “milking” the roads to the brink of collapse, Mr. Whitney said that they “feel that because they've loaned money to the railroads they have a right to dictate what should be done.” -He said a Government holding company, financing the companies’ recovery at reduced interest rates, thus taking financing from bankers, would “go a long way toward what we want.” Three per cent bonds, backed by the Government, could cover such financing he said. Referring to the Presidential Committee’s plan, Mr. Whitney said it “would only protect further milking” and fails to “reach out far enough to correct the existing evils or to place the railroads on a sound asis.” “As long as they suggest a program that continues power in the hands of the same people who wrecked the railroads by milking them financially—I mean - the bankers—I don’t see much: hope for improvement,” he said. ‘Meanwhile, David B. Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of 1.ocomotive ‘ Firemen and Enginemen, who was a member of Mrs. Roosevelt’s committee, promised the support of his followers to the committee’s legislative program. Alvanley Johnston, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said his group had not prepared any program and is “entirely open-minded.”

HOME OF F.D.R. JR. DAMAGED BY FIRE

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Dec. 31 (U. P.).—Firemen suggested today that defdctive wiring might have caused the blaze which destroyed the east wing of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt .Jr., here last night. The fire, which caused approximately $3000 damage, may have been started by new wiring installed yesterday between the kitchen and the garage, firemen said.

Key Naval Spending Job In House Goes to Nevada.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (U. P.). —Senate Democrats, in a harmony rally, today re-elected Senator Barkley (D. Ky.) as the Majority Leader for the 76th Congress. Senator Barkley’s re-election came a few minutes after another party solidarity action—the decision of Senator Lewis (D. Ill) to retain his party whip post. Senator Lewis’ decision was influenced by President Roosevelt, who acted after the Senator had indicated a desire to quit the job because of differences over some Administration policies and a desire to sponsor legislation of his own. In striking contrast fo the bitter Democratic battle over Senate leadership last session, Senator Barkley won the post today by a unaninous vote, in a session that lasted only 20 minutes. Last year after the death of Senator Joseph T. Robinson, he was chosen by a single vote margin in a contest with Senator Harrison (D. Miss.). Senator Harison removed the last obstacle to Senator Barkley’s selection when he urged that his friends not place his name in nomination. Senator Barkley said that he felt that the harmonious meeting today was “an indication that we are go-= ing to work together” during the ‘new Congress. Other officers of the majority were re-elected without opposition. Senator Minton (D. Ind.) was named assistant whip.

Key Arms Position

By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. — The two Congressional posts most concerned with Army-Navy spending

by— Rep. James G. Scrugham, from land-locked Nevada, who is in line to head the House Naval Appropriations Subcommittee. Rep. J. Buell Snyder, a former schoolbook salesman of southwestern Pennsylvania, who heads the Military Appropriations Subcommittee. Both came to Congress first in the Roosevelt landslide of ’32. Of the 21 committee chairmen who would have a hand directly or indirectly in the legislative treatment of a broad-gauge national defense program, 14 are from the South and the border states. But Rep. Snyder; from the East, and Rep. Scrugham, from the West, will be the real key men, Rep. Scrugham is 58 born and

engineer who went to Nevada originally as a professor and became Governor. A Lieutenant Colonel in the World War, he was one of the American Legion's incorporators and later its vice commander. ‘Rep. Snyder is 59, a farm-born former high school principal who was for 20 years a Pennsylvania representative for a textbook firm. Before these two subcommittees of the House Appropriations Come mittee, the generals and admirals must expound and defend their requests for money.. The full commit. tee, headed by 80-year-old Rep. Edward T. Taylor (Colo.), usually goes along with the subcommittee’s recommendations on most points. The powers of the appropriations committee are limited. It cen approve expenditures only for projects previously “authorized” by Congress. The authorization bills are handled by the House Military Affairs and Naval Affairs Committees. As to the Navy, the big authorization bill enacted last year wil! likely be ample to conver any appropriations sought by the Adminisiration in 1939. But for the Army, the reputed project for & great increase in air power would require a new authorization bill since the present authorized strength of the Army Air Corps is 2320 planes. The House Military Affairs Committee is headed by Rep. Andrew J. May (D. Ky.), the Naval Affairs Committee by Rep. Carl Vinson (D. Ga.). Both are lawyers and House veterans,

No Increase Likely

In Silver Price WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (U. PJ. —President Roosevelt will issue before midnight a proclamation setting the Treasury's price for newlymined, domestic silver during the

price was 64.64 cenfs an ounce compared with the world price of approximately 43 cents. The President’s power to fix the domestic silver price expires June 30 along with his authority to change the gold content of the dollar. The 1939 price still was a matter of conjecture, but informed sources indicated that Treasury Secretary Morgenthau has recommended the proclamation may continue the current price or reducing it slightly. The probability of an increase has been ruled out. Secretary Morgenthau sent his recommendation to the White House this week. It was based on a study by treasury experts of the economic effects of the domestic silver pro-

Tram. While there is no official support for the view, some experts doubt that reduction, if there is one, will On the basis of 1938 production, such a ctit would result in an estimated loss to domestic silver produ of Spprosis mately four millil ars

Tuesday, as had been reported } Washington. The Washington report was tha an attempt would be made to de the oath so that a complaint agains

_jthe Senator’s election could be fil

on behalf of Raymond W. Willis, Heated Republican candidate.

The’ reported ‘move was sharply criticized in Washington by Senator McNary (R. Ore.) who termed ib “asinine.” Mr. Bobbitt did not indicate whether the state committee would file a complaint alleging election fraud before the Senate Elections Committee. Such a move has been under consideration by the state committee and has been recoms . mended by Mr. Bobbitt on the basis of alleged election fraud evidence gathered by special investigators. “I have not heard that Senator VanNuys would be asked to step aside,” Senator McNary said. “Buf I certainly will have something say on that matter and shall oppose it vigorously.” ym The stipulations laid down to the Vigo County prosecutor were ? tained in a letter from Mr. Bobi accepting the invitation. They res : “1—That the Terre Haute Minis= terial Association, the Vigo Coun Bar Association and representative of the press, be permitted to select the special prosecutors who are to conduct the proceeding before the Grand Jury if an indictment be res turned, in court. “9_That the: special prosecutors 3 named by the above groups shall = have at their command all of the machinery of law enforcement and grand jury inquiry;/ that they may: , subpoena such witnesses as they deem necessary

That no persons “other than those selected by the above-named groups shall represent the proses cutor’s office in the presentation of the evidence to the grand jury.” In his letter, Mr. Bobbitt denied he had stated that “a ccrtain local political lawyer had received a package of one thousand $20 b and had purchased votes at $20 each from a local hotel,” and that “a local political lawyer demanded of beer wholesalers a certain per cent of their receipts before a license’ could be secured or renewed.” ': Mr. Kincade had written Mr. Bobs bitt that newspapers had said that Mr. Bobbitt made such statements; In concluding his letter, Mr. Bobs bitt said, “Now, Mr. Kincade, I haw accepted your offer in the ¢ good faith that prempted you ° make it, despite the fact that'I have: been cautioned that no Vigo County Grand Jury under present condie tions, will return any indictments in connection with this matter YULE LIGHTS STOLEN Theft of Christmas tree lights last night from a tree in the front yard of her home was reported to police’ today by Mrs. R.
