SILVER BLOC LOSES BUT FILIBUSTER CO

Senate Monetary Battle Threatens Shutdown of WPA

Pittman Bill Asking Metal Price of $1.16 an Ounce Beaten, 26 to 52.

WASHINGTON, June 26 (U. P). —The Senate silver bloc, engaged in a money filibuster that has endangered the Administration's “must” legislative program, was defeated today in an attempt to fix the domestic silver price by law at $1.18 an ounce. The vote was 26 to 52. The proposal was offered by Senator Pittman (D. Nev), as an amendment to the pending monetary bill extending for two years

the $2.000,000,000 stabilization fund and President Roosevelt's power to devalue the dollar. It represented | a modification of Senator Pitt-| man’s original amendment fixing | the price at $1.27 an ounce. The Senate later by 39 to 35 refused to permit a vote on a com-

bined amendment to the monetary|

bill to fix the silver price at 77.57 cents and to kill the President's devaluation power. It upheld a ruling by Senator] Bankhead (D. Ala.) that the amend-| ment must be split and the issues] voted on separately. Although the silver bloc stopped | talking long enough to permit the vote on the Pittman plan, they reiterated that the monetary bill would be “discussed thoroughly” before they would permit its pass-| age. The bill must be signed by| the President by midnight June 30] to prevent expiration of the Administration’s monetary program.

Night Session Possible

Administration leaders, fearing! that the delay might tie up the] $1.735,000,000 relief bill, which aiso| must be enacted by June 30, said | that if the silverites continued to] prolong debate, the Senate would] be held in session tonight—the first] night session’ of the year. | The critical nature of the WPA] situation was emphasized by WPA | officials who said that the entire Federal relief program faces auto- | matic shutdown next Saturday un-| less Congress speedily votes the appropriation bill. | Administrator F.

British Charges Of Cruelty Denied

TIENTSIN, June 26 (U. P).— Japan, assuming the diplomatic offensive, asserted today that Britons were exaggerating indignities to Britons in the blockade of the British concession and said that responsibility for the consequences lay with Great Britain. The statement was made in a formal protest by Shigenori Tashiro, Japanese Consul General, to British Consul General Edgar G. Jamieson. Mr. Tashiro said that not only were Britons exaggerating incidents here but were assuming an “arrogant” attitude purposely to cause

OHIO MAN IS HELD

In the “number one” resolution on the Townsend convention floor here, Robert C. Townsend, the new * cheering delegates to lead them when his father, Dr. Francis E. Town- ships to get out and then said that

‘crown prince.” was chosen by 11,000

send, no longer is able to continue. But the handsome, slender sec-retary-treasurer of the movement doesn’t think he or anybody else lever can step into his father’s shoes. “If anything happened to him, I doubt if any leader could take his place,” Robert said. “But the movement wouldn't die, even without a leader, for these good old folks would continue their agitation for the Plan, individually and in small groups, until success is reached.

Gave Up Mine Career

Young Townsend gave up an embryonic career as a miner and agriculturist to help his now %2-year-old father “temporarily” four years ago this month. “The organization was having a lot of internal trouble at the time,” he explained. “Daa didn't have anyone left that he was sure he could depend on ab|solutely, so he asked me to take over the financial work. “I thought the plan was a little cockeyed, and I had an understand-

trouble. He mentioned specifically as one “exaggerated, distorted and fabricated” incident the statement “about indignity suffered by a British lady and an insult offered to a British subject.” This was assumed to concern the stripping Saturday by a Chinese woman, in the presence of a Japanese sentry, of Mrs. D. Finlay, Ger-man-born British subject. It was asserted that Mrs. Finlay was stripped until she wore only a girdle and that at the same time her husband, a native of Glasgow, was stripped naked in an outer room in the presence of Chinese and foreigners of both sexes.

Hard Labor Graduate Except for the pension movement, [young Townsend never has done anything other than hard, manual labor. “If I didn’t have a job with the Townsend organization (in which he draws $60 a week), I would probably be on the road right now looking for a job,” he said. *“Machines are taking the jobs of more and more men, until a young man can't find a job.” At the time he was drafted into the movement, he and his brother-in-law, J.

If he could have collected all his patients owed him, he would have been on easy street long ago.” Asked what policies of the pension movement he would change if he should have to take over, he replied: “None.” He explained that the present policy “is a concensus of the various leaders, including myself.” Will the movement reach success in 1940?

Magistrates issued 130 search warrants to Scotland Yard to aid them in raids during which 30 suspects were arrested as the result of a | series of bombings in London during the week-end. Twenty of the suspects were held. It was reported that 50 “I. R. A” | terrorists had been sent to principal | British cities from Ireland and were spending about $5000 a week on bombing activities.

Two Accused of Tarring Gossip Writer Released On Bonds of $2500 Each

Capital Columnist Claims Attack Followed Items About Families.

WARRENTON, Va. June 26 (U. P.).—Two members of Virginia's fox hunting set appeared in court and were freed on $2500 bond on charges they tarred and feathered Count Igor Cassini, youthful Washington society gossip columnist. They were Ian Montgomery, 38, and Alexander Calvert, 21, members of families prominent in the Virginia riding set. Attorneys said Colin Montgomery, 28, charged by Count Cassini as another participant in the affray, would surrender next Monday. The two waived preliminary examination and were released pending action by the September Grand Jury. Count Cassini charged that they tarred and feathered him in retaliation for items published about their families. Mr. Cassini, grandson of Count Arturo Cassini, Tsarist Russian Ambassador to the United States before the World War, said he also was beaten and further threatened. Count Cassini said the attack apparently was caused by comments in his column, “Petit Point,” which he writes daily for the Washington Times Herald. The columnist walked three miles to a farmhouse, and was taken to a hospital. Attendants said he suffered minor bruises and slight burns, but no serious injuries.

OVERPAYMENT ON GLAIMS GHARGED

Overpayments on benefit claims by the Pulaski County Welfare Department was charged today in a report filed by Edward Brennan, State Accounts Board chief examiner. The Accounts Board ordered Miss Clara Timm, Pulaski Welfare Director, to pay back $803 into the welfare fund. Mr. Brennan charged that Miss Timm allowed $361 too much for the care of five children in a private home. He also charged in the report that the Welfare Director compromised on the department’s claim against the property of a former beneficiary. “The department's claim against the property was $816 and the director compromised for $425,” Mr. Brennan said. “Compromises on claims are not permitted under the law.” The Accounts Board also dissallowed a $50 payment for attorney fees.
