WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (U. P.) — Senator Adams (ID. Colo.) opening Senate debate on [the controversial 725 ta. todey th WPA hilly

de-

chatged today that the issue had been “misstated to the people of the country” by advocates of a larger fund. Senator Adams, chairman of the Appropriations Suticommittee which sustained the House in asking for 150 million dollars less than President Roosevelt sought, told the Senate that “extensive propaganda” has been distributed against the smaller ‘appropriation. | “I do not say that this issue has been misstated intentionally,” he said. “The question here is not one involving a cut in relief funds, but simply on the amount which should be added for relief purposes. | “This is a bill for an additional appropriation, not a bill to reduce the appropriation.” | Garner Key Figure , Senator Adams and other members of the economy bloc sought to hold their lines against a strong Administration drive to increase the appropriation to the!875 million dollars requested by the President. Vice President Garner emerged as a possible key figure in the battle, which is expected to continue in the Senate the rest of the week. Mr. Garner has been consulted frequently by economy leaders, including Senators Harrison (D. Miss.), Byrnes (D. S. C.) and Adams. Democratic Leader Barkley (Ky.) said New Deal supporters would try to override the appropriation com- _ mittee’s recommendations, but declined to predict the outcome. An informal poll indicated that a few votes would decide the issue. Senator Adams asserted that Senators supporting the lower figure “resented” intimation that they had no regard for the hungry of the nation. “Some of us are thinking of the 130 million people of | this nation,” Senator Adams said. “Some have narrowed their gaze to the three million people on relief. “We have reached the point where we must count the cost. No group will suffer so much by the impairment of capital as those on relief.” ere Are We Going’ . He contended that the entire humanitarian objectives of the nation were threatened by the demands for larger relief expenditures. “There has been a recession of the recovery movement,” Adams said. “The prime problem is unemployment. If we are gong to work our ' way out it is going to be through rivate employment. If you are going to raise private employment you must give encouragement to the man who meets the payrolls on Saturday night.” Senator Adams said that the Senate must determine “where we are going.” | Congress must satisfy the nation, he said, that it was not determined to spend and spend. |

SENATORS DUE FOR SURPRISE AT HEARINGS

Judge Nominee Goes Even

Beyond Roosevelt Plan To Change Court.

By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan, 24.—A Sen-

find that Dean Clark favors drastic amendment of the Constitution. It will also find that he criticized the President’s court plan of 1937 on the ground that it did not touch the fundamental issue. " The Roosevelt plan, he said a few days after it was broached to an astonished Congress, might have the immediate result of saving a few pieces of legislation, but over the long haul it would only be a pension scheme, in his opinion. Action on the appointment has

been delayed by a Senate subcom-

mittee headed by Senator O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), at the request of Senator King (D. Utah), who suggested that the nominee’s attitude toward the Roosevelt court proposal be scrutinized.

Proposes Amendment

In a New York address six weeks before the Roosevelt court message, Dean Clark proposed a constitutional amendment which would: 1, Define “commerce” to include production, manufacture or distribution of industria: or farm commodities .destined to be transported from one state to another. 2. Define “due process” as referring only to procedural matters. 3. Extend Article One of the Bill of Rights to protect freedom of religion, press, speech, assembly and petition from encroachment by: the states as well as by Congress. Although the President’s plan was still a White House secret, Dean Clark said in that address: “Little change in the general constitutional doctrine can be expected short of amendment. . . . It does seem to me there is now a great deal of wishful thinking. . . . That constitutional changes are going to come through the remaking of doctrine or of the court or both.”

Army Official Asks

Equipment for Million

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (U. P)). —Two Army officials told the House Military Affairs Committee that the United States should provide ultra modern weapons in peacetime adequate to equip an army of one million men sogn after the outbreak of war. Testifying in support of President Roosevelt's 552 million dollar emergency defense program, Maj. Gen. R. M. Beck said that the Army has plans to mobilize one million men on the outbreak of war and that lack of adequate arms would hamper mobilization seriously. He followed Brig. Gen. George P. Tyner, assistant Army chief of staf, who told the committee that this country should not “send its soldiers into the field with antiquated weapons.”

ICC Member Tells Of Railroads’ Trouble

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (U. P.).— Seventy-eight Class 1 railroads are in financial diffiiculties that have taken their control out of their owners’ hands, Congress was informed today at the outset of hearings on legislation to assist solution of jgailroad problems. Walter M. W. Splawn, member of the interstate commerce commission, told the House

Vice-President John N. Garner. | Mr, Garner had signed first, writing: | “To: “Doc” Calver—thanks : for making me “try” to behave. After reading that inscription, the President wrote: To “Doc” Calver—keep on

REGARD. HOPKINS AS PEACEMAKER

Capital Believes Business And New Deal May Be - Reconciled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (U.P.).— Commerce Secretary Hopkins confirmed in his new Cabinet post despite bolting Senate Democrats, appeared today to be. the potential New Deal peacemaker with business if there is to be a reconciliation. Secretary Hopkins was confirmed yesterday by a vote of 58 to 27. He was expected to become the New Deal trouble shooter primarily concerned with improving relations between the Administration and public utility and other industrial elements. It has been reported and denied that President Roosevelt also assigned him to establish peace between the A. F. of L. and the C. 1. O. Some gbservers believe Mr. Hopkins may be the New Deal choice to succeed | Mr. Roosevelt in 1940 if ‘the President is not a third term candidate. He recently has been the Wiis House’s closest political adviser. | : :

Democrats Split in Vote

His new post provides an outstanding, opportunity for a national political build-up because the Commerce Secretary is charged in the act creating the department with “the work of promoting the commerce of the United States and its manufacturing, shipping, fishery and transportation interests.” Opponents &f confirmation said he was unfitted for that responsibility and also was disqualified for permitting the WPA to play politics. Mr. Hopkins was confirmed after blistering debate which demonstrated that any effort to put him in the line of New Deal Presidential succession (probably would split the Democratic Party still further. Five Democrats voted against his confirmation | yesterday: Senators George (Ga.), Gerry (R. 1), Holt (W. Va), King (Utah), and VanNuys (Ind.). Three others, all sharply opposed to Mr. Hopkins because of the conduct of the WPA during .the 1938 campaign excused themselves, from voting: Senators Baily, N. C.), Glass (Va.) and Tydings (M.).| The confirmation vote demonstrated that the New Deal Senate front has been broken in places.

Boehne to Support F.D. R. Tax Réquest

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, -— Although he has a measure pending to amend [the Constitution to permit reciprocal taxation of incomes from state|and Federal Government salaries and bonds, Rep. John W. Boehne Jr) (D. Ind.) declared today that he is ready to follow the President’s plan and attempt to do so by statute.

Bridges Case Involved; C. I. 0. Leaders Charge Denied.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 24 (U. P.).— Rep. J. Parnell Thomas (R. N. J.) today introduced in the House a resolution calling for an investigation of Labor Secretary Perkins to determine whether she should be impeached. The resolution asked that the House. Judiciary Committee, acting as a whole or by subcommittee, investigate the official conduct of the nation’s first woman Cabinet member. It called also for investigation of Immigration Commissioner James L. Houghteling and Labor Department Solicitor Gerald D. Railly “to determine whether . . . they have been guilty of any high crimes or misdemeanors, which, in the contemplation of the Constitution, requires the interposition of the Constitutional power of the House.”

mmittee Probe

any time and spend $10,000 in its inquiry. ; 3 “Such committee,” it added, “shall report its findings to the House, together with such articles of impeachment as the facts may warrant.” : The resolution itself followed a series of “whereas” clauses spread over 44 mimeographed pages, leading off with the charge that the three officials “have failed, neglected and refused to enforce” certain immigration laws, have “conspired together to violate the immigration laws of the United States” and have “defrauded the United States by coddling and protecting from deportation certain aliens illegally within the United States.”

Bridges Case Is Issue

Rep. Thomas submitted, in support of his resolution, information from the Labor Department and other sources, beginning with the case of Ha Bridges, West Coast regional C. I. O. director, against whom a deportation case is being held in abeyance pending Supreme Court decision in a similar case. The resolution charges that the three officials failed to deport Mr. Bridges, Australian-born, despite numerous complaints of Mr. Bridges’ “subversive activities” and his alleged membership in the Communist Party and affiliation with widely known Communists in the 1934 San Francisco maritime strike. Rep. Thomas is a member of the Dies Committee Investigating UnAmerican Activities. His resolution was introduced a day after Rep. Mary T. Norton (D. N. J.) read to the House a letter from Secretary Perkins replying to charges made by the Dies group in connection with the Bridges case.

Bridges Charges - Denied by Army

WASHINGTON, Jan, 24 (U. P.).— The White House said today it had referred the sabotage charges of Harry Bridges, West Coast C. I. O. director, to Government departments for whatever action they deem necessary. : Mr. Bridges charged in a telegram to President Roosevelt yesterday that Nazi agents and sympathizers have sabotaged work on U. S. planes being built in West Coast plants. He charged U. S. Army and Navy officials knew of sabotage. Army Air Corps officials declared the charges had no foundation in fact.

Denial of Halleck Request Saves $350

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (U. P.). —House Republicans revolted today against a time-honored legislative custom—extension of a Representative’s remarks in the Congressional Record. ? The feud began when Democrats would not allow an anti-Roosevelt magazine article, written by Rep. Bruce Barton (R. N. Y.) to be printed in the record. Republicans retaliated and now not a single Democrat can get his speeches extended—at a cost of $55 per page to the taxpayers—for the folks back home to read. Yesterday's one-day moratorium on speech extensions, it was estiHaied, saved the taxpayers at least

Halleck Starts It

Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.) began the row by moving to print Rep. Barton’s article, entitled “After Roosevelt, What Next.” Loyal New Dealers objected. If cost too much to print such an essay in the Record, they said. Republicans, headed by Minority Leader Joseph W. Martin (R. Mass.) “Horatio-at-the-bridge” committee and announced that they were prepared to deny Democrats the privilege of having their speech extensions printed — forever if necessary—but at least until the majority party agrees to admit Rep. Barton’s article. On four occasions yesterday Democrats asked to have their remarks extended. - Each time some Republican asked, “How about Barton’s article?” and refused unanimous consent. |

Roosevelt Asks Change In FCC Machinery

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (U. P.. —President Roosevelt said today he was “thoroughly dissatisfied” with the legal framework and administrative machinery of the Federal Communications Commis§ion. He recommended legislation to reorganize it. ’ The President made his views known in letters to Chairman Wheeler (D. Mont.) of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee and Chairman Clarence F. Lea (D. Cal.) of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. He asked “new legisiation . . . to clear Congressional policies on- the substantive side—

WEST SEEKING CONTROL OVER ITS RESOURCES

Duplicate Bills Provide. for Encouragement of Local Capital.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer ; WASHINGTON, Jan, 24.—Legislation designed to break up the monopoly in development of natural resources in the West and South now exercised largely by aggregations of Eastern capital, is planned by Senator O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), chairman of the Temporary National Economic Committee, which 1s investigating all phases of the monopoly problem. The Wyoming Senator would reach his objective through special concessions to local interests in Western and Southern states which finance development of the natural resources within their own borders —oil, gas, minerals, etc. The plan envisages encouragement of local capital to build up small local enterprises, to the end that dependent upon big Eastern financiers may be eliminated.

Hits at New York

It is, in effect, another attempt to: mo the financial capital of the nation from New York—an aim manifest previously among New Deal officials, notably Chairman William O. Douglas of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Senator O'Mahoney also sees in this encouragement of local development an approach to solution of the unemployment problem, holding that the new local projects which could be established would help absorb the unemployed. His first step in this direction was the introduction of bills, jointly with Rep. John J. Dempsey (D. N. M), to grant special concessions to local capital and local citizens for encouragement of the development of oil and gas: :

Seeks Senate Probe

His next step, he said, would be introduction within a few days of a resolution to authorize a special investigation by the Senate Public Lands Committee of the whole problem of encouragement of local, intrastate development. : His plan, the Senator explained, is the outgrowth of the monopoly investigation, particularly that into the glass industry, which revealed that new enterprises on a small scale can not enter the field because of the patent and financial control of a handful of big corporations.

PROBE IS STARTED IN CAVALIER CRASH

Survivors Had No Warning of Trouble, They Say.

about “landing for lunch.” “The plane sank in about 15 minutes,” Mrs. Watson said. “We had climbed on top and the men pulled the injured men up. When the plane finally let down beneath us we hung to a few life belts. There seemed to be about six for the 13 of us.” Mrs. George Ingham, 24, of Hamilton, Bermuda, said the steward helped her to the smoking room emergency outlet, soon after the plane hit the water with a terrific crash. ; “It wasn’t much of a drop to the water,” she said. “I left the ship swimming because I was afraid that if it went down it might cause a suction and pull me under with it.”

Plunged Through Clouds

. “We were flying along at about 12,000 feet,” Charles Talbot, 23, of Brookline, Mass., said. “The sky was clear. The chief steward came through and said ‘lunch will be ready soon. About five minutes later the steward came through again and said we were going to drop to about 5000 feet. We did just that and plunged into clouds.” Capt. Neil Richardson, first officer, said, “as soon as we landed the water came up over the batteries and silenced our radio. The people out front fluttered away and those on top hung there until the boat sank.” Capt. Alderson on behalf of him-

Capt. Richardson, Radio Officer Patrick Chapman, and Steward Davi Williams, declared: : “The weather at the time we were "forced down was the same through which we normally fly every day. . . I cannot say anything definite about the causes of the forced landing until after -the investigation. We kept singing and talking to keep up everybody’s spirits.” “All we are able to say now is that the ship cracked and sank and it’s a miracle any of us were saved,” commented Radio Officer Chapman. “I don’t know anything of how it happened. I was there but I was

| Ciano, son-in-law of Premier Mus-

solini, will likewise visit the Polish

capital. He has just left Belgrade. Meanwhile, as was the case last August before the Czechoslovak crisis, the German Army, including reserves, has been ordered to stand by after Feb. 15, from which dates all leaves are canceled. : Events are said to be forcing Herr Hitler's hand. Financially, economically and politically, the strain of the last six years is telling on Germany and the population. Unless the Fuehrer can speed up his program and soon bring most of the countries between the Baltic and the Black Sea within the Nazi orbit, together with their raw materials and their markets, something drastic may occur inside Germany per‘manently to upset his plans.

Rumania, Then Ukraine?

What happened to Czechoslovakia may shortly happen to Rumania. The « postwar treaties which dismembered the Austro-Hungarian Empire, gave Transylvania and 3,500,000 Hungaxians to Rumania. Thus Hungary's quid pro quo in the resultant crisis might be the return of her former rightful subjects. Germany, of course, would gain control of Rumania with its wheat, oil and other minerals.

press on eastward into the Ukraine is anybody's guess. In any event, the Nazis are already stirring up the Ukrainian population with the object of getting them to declare their independénce, as they did in 1918 at the time of the notorious Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Poland, naturally enough, is on the anxious seat. German agents are also at work in Eastern Galicia, where there are some 4,500,000 Ukrainians. These, Nazi provocateurs hope, might be induced to make common cause with their kin across the border in the Russian Ukraine. French Morale High Size considered, Poland has one of the best armies in Europe. She could give an excellent account of herself, as Herr Hitler well knows. Despite the Berlin-Warsaw pact of 1934, therefore, the Fuehrer probably would not be adverse to seeing Poland’s size and fighting power reduced. : 3 Meanwhile, neutral observers report that France’s morale is high. She is said to have recovered completely from the setback at Munich. So if it is true, as reported, that

a condition of British neutrality in a Franco-Italian war, the French are said to be completely confident of victory over the Italians, if Italy insists on war and. the two are left to fight it out alone.

British Strive

To Avoid Conscription

LONDON, Jan. 24 (U. P.).—Sir John Anderson, Cabinet Minister responsible for civilian defense, and Ernest Brown, Labor Minister, were detailed to make speeches on the need for voluntary defense today, backing up the appeal made by Prime Minister Chamberlain last night in support of the voluntary national service plan. Tomorrow the Postoffice is to begin distribution of 20 million copies of the National Service Guide, a 56-page hand book listing the kinds of service open to volunteers. Enrolment forms will be enclosed. The Government appeal for voluntary enrolment" for national defense was regarded by many as the final effort to avoid conscription, and it was predicted that if the voluntary plan failed, the- Government would be faced with strong demands for compulsory service. Mr. Chamberlain, appealing to the nation to support the plan, emphasized its voluntary nature. He warned that the nation might be attacked unless it was prepared to defend itself. “It is a plan to make us ready for war,” Chamberlain said. “That does not mean that I thinkgy ar is coming.”

New Revolt Plot in

Ecuador Put Down

QUITO, Ecuador, Jan. 24 (U. P.). —The Government announced today. that a new attempt to overthrow the Government of President Aurelio Mosquera Narvaez was quelled with the arrest and imprisonment of several Army officers. A communique said Sergt. Jose Velasco, who recently was freed from Panoptico Penitentiary where he had been imprisoned for revolutionary activities, tried to sneak into the Carabineer garrison at dawn. He was captured and implicated various Army officers.

Steward Spence, would make no statements. : The other survivor, Miss Nellie Tucker Smith, a public accountant of Bermuda, told a story similar to that of Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Ingham. Earlier, it had been supposed that ice had formed im the carburetors, stalling one after another of the four motors, causing the plane to lose altitude from 12,000 feet until it was barely skimming the surface, then to crash into the the surging sea with such force that it stove in the plane’s bottom.

SPYING WRECKS SPIRIT OF REICH ARMY, CLAIM

Reported Goebhels-Goering Feud Reads Like Romantic Detective Thriller.

GREENWICH, Conn., Jan. 24 (U. P.).—Greenwich Time, through the

Wythe Williams, asserted today that Nazi Party tension in the form of a feud between Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering and Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels may force Fuehrer Hitler to “a new dash over the frontier” to avert revolution. “The inside story of the feud between Dr. Goebbels and Marshal Goering,” Williams said, “is a thriller, equaling the imaginations of Oppenheim and the late Edgar Wallace. A sinister table of plots and counterplots, of spies and gangsters, of desperate intrigue accompanied by shots and knife thrusts in the dark.” Greenwich Time was the first newspaper to report that Dr. Goebbels had been beaten up by friends of an actress for paying her alleged improper attentions. New Spy Unit Reported

That affair, Mr. Williams said, now is under investigation by Uschla, highest court of the Nazi Party, headed by Maj. Walter Buch. In addition, he said, Maj. Buch has been placed in command of a new service, the Sicherheitsdienst, or “S. D.” which specializes in spying on Nazi Party members. | With the increase of secret: police activities inside the Army, Mr. Williams said, Herr Hitler is receiving many complaints from high officers that spying is destroying the spirit of the Army. The former foreign correspondent said it is now known that Heinrich Himmler, Gestapo chief, ‘has a two-fold plan to gain control of the Army General Staff, and, through influencing the high command of the Storm Troops, fo ‘‘undermine the entire Army organization” by controlling Army entrants.

Germans Deny

Troop Maneuvers

BERLIN, Jan. 24 (U. P.).—A War Ministry spokesman today denied reports of troop movements on the Swiss frontier. . The report originated in Switzerland yesterday, at the same time that authorities of the Swiss district of St. Gall, strengthened their frontier guard on the basis of reports that there was a plot to kill Paul Joseph Goebbels, German Propaganda Minister,’ and other Nazis. The American Embassy has expressed the hope in a note to the Foreign Office that Americans will not be affected by a Nazi Government decree canceling the diplomas of Jewish dentists in Germany, effective Jan. 31, it was learned today. The note was another step in the United States Government determination to concede nothing in its defense of the rights of Americans in Germany. As regards the dentists it was largely a formality. So far as was known there were no more American Jewish dentists in Berlin.
