FILIBUSTER’ IN SENATE IS LED

BY SILVER BLOC |

Tries to Delay ‘Must’ Laws. To Force Higher Price For White Metal. WASHINGTON, June 21 (U. P.). —The Senate silver bloc today

openly informed the Administration that it will attempt to delay

a vote on “must” monetary legis- | lation in an effort to force the! Treasury to increase the purchase price for domestic silver. Senate Majority Leader Alben W.| Barkley said he had not decided what tactics to employ to break up| the maneuver—a movement of fili- | buster aspects which threatened! Administration plans for fast Senate action of monetary, relief and! tax legislation. Mr. Barkley said members of the]

¥ . x

bloc informed him directly of the

plan. When the Senate met an hour! early, Senator Elmer Thomas (D. Okla.), a member of the bloc advo- | cating issuance of currency against! silver reserves, opened an address] and advised Mr. Barkley it will] continue “several hours.”

Blow te Administration

Neither Administration forces nor| the silver bloc would say that a filibuster was in progress. But it was evident that Administration] hope for rushing to a quick vote its bill to extend President Roosevelt's] dollar devaluation powers and the two-billion-dollar stabilization fund! was being demoralized by the tactics of Western Senators. The Western Senators are led by| Senator McCarran (D. Nev). | They seek action or a pledge from Treasury Secretary Morgenthau | Jr., looking to a substantial increase | in the price of domestically mined silver above the present price of 64.64 cents an ounce.

Threats Are Denied

Mr. McCarran insisted that he was not “threatening” Mr. Morgenthau “or anyone else.” He refused to put the filibuster label upon his! tactics. But he added significantly that “there will be no stablization until there is stablization of honest American money, which is gold and silver.” { As Treasury legislative experts) supervised reprinting of the 1940 tax bill to show Senate Finance Committee changes. Senator Robert M. La Follette (P. Wis.) announced that he will attempt to amend the bill to include his program of higher income taxes and lower exemptions. The Ta Folletite amendment would begin the income tax rates at 4 per cent on net incomes between $3000 and $4000. Personal exemptions for unmarried taxpayers would be lowered to $800 from $1000. | Meanwhile, the tax measure was being wvnrepared for consideration while an appropriations subcommittee continued work on the $1735.000.000 relief bill containing funds for the WPA through the next fiscal year. The tax bill, designed to answer business demands for tax relief, and: which scraps the undistributed profits tax, was approved by the Senate committee in less than five hours. All House provisions were left untouched, but a number of additional concessions were made to business,

ACTION DELAYED Royal Pair

ON NEUTRALITY.

Senate Move Made to Let

House Take Up Bill Approved by F. D. R.

WASHINGTON, June 21 (U. P). - The Senate Foreign Relations Committee today again postponed consideration of neutrality law re-| vision in a move apparently de- | signed to permit the House to take] prior action on a neutrality bill ap-! proved by President Roosevelt. The decision to defer action until| next Wednesday meant further de-| lav in Senate action on neutrality, despite Mr. Roosevelt's insistence that Congress revise the neutrality law before it adjourns. Chairman Key Pittman (D. Nev.) | said that some Senators “felt that it would be more practicable to wait | for House action.” The House For-| eign Affairs Committee already has, reported the Bloom neutrality bill, | eliminating mandatory embargoes! on Dbelligerents and effectuating the general neutrality program sponsored by Secretary of State Cordell Hull. The postponement was approved! on motion of Senator Green (D. R. I). It was not opposed. | Mr. Pittman explained that many

| Committee members were busy with

other work—taxes, social security and reliefl—and would not be able to attend daily committee meetings on the neutrality issue. He 3aid that “we're going on” beginning next Wednesday. He predicted that the House will approve the Bloom bill.

Scaffa said he knew C. Wesley Turner, a codefendant with Buckner charged with complicity in the Philippine Railway bond fraud that cost investors one million dollars. Turner, he testified, told him he thought there was considerable money to he made in buying up the bonds. Subsequently Scaffa introduced Buckner to Robert C. La Borde, a manufacturer, and Paul Engle, described as well connected in Wall Street. A conference was arranged, but [Buckner made an incoherent tele{phone call on the morning of the meeting, Scaffa said, and “after that I dropped out of the picture.” La Borde testified that a cotton broker named Robert Harris was introduced to Buckner who told him the Philippine Government would {buy the bonds at 65.
