‘Baruch Apparently Adviser Of Garner Democrat Group;

Plan to Avoid Debt Drafted

Financier Bases Policy on Business Security And Profits.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

| WASHINGTON, March 7.—Bernard "M. Baruch, the ' financier known among Democrats for years

as “Barney,” is moving into the | picture here again—this time apparently as chief adviser of the group of Democrats, led by Vice . President Garner, who are seeking ! to modify certain New Deal policies, chiefly in the fields off | spending and taxation. It 4s significant that Mr. Baruch should appear here jus at this time "when the Garner group is seeking to seize control in Congress and force President Roosevelt to adopt definite measures of business appéasement. He was the guest at al | tuncieon. arranged by his longtime friend, Senator Byrnes (D. S. C.), one of the Garner lieutenants. . Among those invited were the Vice President and numerous Senators, mostly the more conservative type but including Senator Barkley (D. Ky.),

- which deter business expansion.

Of itself, the luncheon was just a general get-together, social in nature, but its implications in later . developments .may prove important. Mr. Baruch, always a large contributor to Democratic campaign

" funds, has been a factor in Demo-

cratic polifics for years. He was a * prominent figure in the Woodrow Wilson Administration: Because of his influence a review of his theories on the necessities of récovery is timely These were set forth in detail when he appeared, a year ago, as first witness before Senator Byrnes’ Unemployment and Relief Investigation Committee,

. Security Called Basic Need

He stated his underlying prescription as follows: “The single missing element in a great forward movement is a feeling of security—a belief that 110ney can be spent or invested without confiscation of reasonable profits by inordinate taxation, that American assets will not again be subject to some great arbitrary change in the value of money, that there are to be no further disturbing assaults on business either by some statutory change in the - existing business pattern or a ‘general governmental hostility or governmental competitive invasion of existing fields of private enterprise.” “One of our principal problems,”

. he stated at another point, “is tech-

- nological industries.

That is where our greatest pool of unemployment resides. “That there has been a vast replacement of men by machines is beyond argument. The only possible offset to that is the creation of new industries and the expansion of old ones.” To permit expansion of investment in new industries he recommended modifications of the undis-

LINES CLARIFIED

Foe of Last Year's Bill Backs Compromise as G. 0. P. Agrees on Fight.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (U. P). —Rep. E. E. Cox (D. Ga.), Democratic leader of the coalition which killed President Roosevelt's Government Reorganization Bill last year, placed his ‘support today behind the new compromise reorganization measure, Renewing debate in the House, Rep. Cox said he “can find no valid ground” to object to the new hill. His statement apparently wes designed to help solidify Democratic ranks in the face of virtual unanimous opposition to the bill from

House Republicans. Rep. Cox said the bill “does not in‘ effect undertake to delegate any kind of legislative power” to the President. A minority conference called by Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin (Mass.) apparently converted to the opposition ranks several Republican Congressmen who had been inclined to support the compromise measure. Rep. Martin announced afterward fhat all but a few of his party members would oppose the bill in its present form. “Our chief objection to the bill is its negative character,” he said, referring to a provision which would permit Presidential reorganization orders to take effect unless both House disapproved them within 60 days.

tributed-profits tax, which was accomplished last session, and revision of the capital-gains tax. He also recommended a thorough overhauling of . the income-tax structure, and suggested & revision of estate and inheritance taxes so that business and industrial enterprises in an estate would not have > be liquidated at once to meet death taxes. Such liquidation, he said, was a deflationary influence. “I believe unemployment can be solved,” he said, “only by a proper readjustment of Federal policy and the tax structure for maximum business turnover and activity, both nationally and internationally. In this way you will get the greatest Government receipts, the greatest amount of employment and the greatest sum of money to be used

REORGANIZATION:

Treasury Studies Scheme For Self-Liquidating U. S. Projects.

(Copyright, 1939, by United Press) WASHINGTON, March 7.—The Treasury, faced with conservative

creases in the national debt, is studying proposals that would permit continuance of certain recovery expenditures without directly adding to the debt. One plan, providing for creation f © Government corporation to raise funds for. self-liquiaating public projects, already has been drafted in a bill which may be submitted to Congress, it was learned today. The securities issued by the proposed corporation would be guaranteed by the Government, but would not be direct Federal obligations and would not be counted as part of the national debt. The draft bill embracing that plan states that| the purposes¥of the corporation woul. be to ‘finance Government projects “without impairing the credit of the Government.” That proposal and other suggestions aiming at the same objectives were discussed recently at a conference between the heads of various recovery agencies and Treasury Undersecretary. John W, Hanes, No Decision Yet

The plan for the creation of a Government corporation to serve as the financing agency for the self-liquidating projects was evolved in the Treasury general counsel's office. No decision on any plan has been ieached yet but it was considered possible that some recommendatior, would be made to Congress at this session. The study is the outgrowth of recommendations by President Roosevelt in his January budget for Congrassional consideration of a new budget form “which would conform more nearly to the practice followed in commercial business.” AT ‘easury official explained that one of the chief reasons behind the current study is the desire to prevent further increases in the public debt as a result of expenditures for self-liquidating projects. The debt is now close to 40 billion dollars. only about five billion below the legal limit; a proposal to increase the limit has heen bitterly fought by some leading Congressmen.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (U.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (U. P.)—The House Judiciary Committee was reported today to be" 24 to 1 in favor of quashing the impeachment charges pending against Labor Secretary Perkins and two other Labor Department officials.

F.D. R. GAMBLING ON LABOR TALKS

Negotiations Start Today With Odds Unfavorable Even on Truce.

(Continued from Page One)

Sidney Hillman and Philip Murray, represented the C. I. O. Miss Perkins said that the Administration, would not submit a specific peace plan but expected the negotiators to make proposals which would serve as basis for discussion. Both the A. F. of L. and C. I. O. during recent weeks have lost and gained ground at the expense of the other in a way which leaves them more belligerent. Neither side has

the sense that it is losing, which is the strongest incentive to compromise, Latterly some of the men “around A. PF. of L. President William Green, who were discouraged until fairly recently, have convinced themselves that several of the newer C. I. O. unions and alignments are breaking up. As a result, the A. F. of L. has taken an unexpected offensive on the political and industrial fronts. In Congress it is pressing its drive to amend the Wagner law and to replace the Labor Board. All along the line it is using the new weapons against the C. I. O. given it by the Supreme Court decisions last week. The A. F. of L. hopes to recapture maritime and other unions, while it covers its main objective by rear-guard sniping tactics against the United Mine Workers (Lewis) and Textile Union (Hillman). Nor is Mr. Green yet willing to admit the apparent C. I. O. automobile victory; he still hopes for a stronger Martin minority through an eventual Ford agreement. The issue which wrecked the 1937 peace conference was the status and voting strength of the new C. I. O. unions in the proposed merger, and the consequent control of such a united labor. movement. Precisely the same issue, much expanded, haunts the power politics of the present. negotiations. The fact that the negotiators are uncertain of the real strength of the two armies in the field is even less conducive to a quick armistice. An added difficulty is that the A. F. of L. negotiators have no actual authority, and no dominant peace leader since the withdrawal of the powerful Daniel Tobin of Indianapolis. Then, of course, there are some political and business groups not adverse to a continuation of interunion conflict, and its weakening effect on the New Deal and the labor Inovement. gainst those overwhelming odds, the President is betting on thie potential power of labor's rank-and-file. The men and women who make up the labor armies want peace. If he can organize that cry for peace, he can win. The real test may not come for several weeks.

an alibi for use during his forthwas made by William Ray Butsch

|in a hearing today over the custody

of his 3-year-old child in Juvenile Court.’ Butsch is charged in a Grand Jury indictment with having murdered and robbed Mrs.. Carrie Lelah Romig, Jan. 17, in her apartment at 120 W. 12th St. The son is temporarily in the custody of Mr. and Mrs. Leverett Axson, 611 S. Taft St. During the hearing today Mrs. Axson was asked by Butsch’s attorneys if it wasn’t true that Butsch came to her home and took the child to Louisville ‘on Jan. 17.

‘No. I'm Sure It Wasn't’

Mrs. replied, “No. I'm sure it wasn’t that day. She said Butsch took the child away another ‘day from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m. and added that it was not on Jan. 17. All during the hearing Butsch demantled that the case be continued until the arrival of his stepdaughter from West Virginia. The stepdaughter! was arrested with Butsch in Anderson several weeks ago. Butsch insisted that his stepdaughter be allowed to adopt the child. Mrs. Helen Forth, social worker in charge of the case, said she ‘would not recqgmmend the adoption until the stepdaughter’s home had been thoroughly investigated. Butsch charged several times during the hearing that, his child “was not getting proper care.” Made Permanent Ward

Over Butsch’s protest that he wanted control of his B3-year-old son’s custody, Juvenile Court Judge Wilfred Bradshaw made the child a permanent ward of the Court. When Butsch’s attorney demanded that he have control over who should adopt the child, Judge Bradshaw said: “That’s just what I don’t want to happen. The child will be made a ward of this Court and no one can say who shall adopt the child without the Court’s approval.” Charges that he was being “framed” and that there *seems to be an underground current to get this child away from his own father,” were made by Butsch during the hearing. He testified that the child was born in Peoria, Ill, and that the mother died a few months later and that he cared for the baby himself for more than a year. : “jt Is Not True” Social workers testified that Butsch brought the child to the local trustee’s office for medical help and that it later was taken to the Indianapolis Orphans’ Hoe. “Isn’t it true that I offered you $40 to pay for an operation for the child?” he asked Mis. Forth, “No. It is not true,” she replied, and, turning to the Judge, she said, “Do I have to answer this sort of questioning?” Judge Bradshaw then stopped Butsch from any further questioning during the hearing and instructed his attorneys to take charge of the case. Butsch charged that the affidavit under which the child was kept a ward of the Court was a “frameup.” Judge Bradshaw explained that there was no charge of child neglect, merely ‘a petition to profect the child.

SHANGHAI, March 7 (U.

NEW YORK, March 7 (U. P.).— Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State in former President Herbert Hoover’s Cabinet, indorsed President Roosevelt's foreign policy of co-operation with democracies against the dictatorships today in a letter to The New York Times. He recommended naval co-opera-tion with France and Great Britain if they are atacked by Germany, Italy and Japan. “We now know that those Fascist nations have created a skillful technique for foreign aggression and that they are in fact girded under virtual martial law for threats and, if necessary, for acts of force against their neighbors,” he wrote. “Does any thoughful man believe that inaction or soft words from us would prevent similar atacks being made against the United States today if a Fascist government believed that such attacks would be useful and could be carried through with success? “ ..It is far from inconceivable that a threatened or devastated France or Britain or Holland might be forced to cede to a Fascist nation some of its possessions in the Western Hemisphere or in the Orient or make commitments to that nation which would be even more dangerous to our safety. Would our position be bettered by idly waiting for that to occur?”
