a. m. (Indianapolis Time) after its first regular airmail flight over the
came in the midst of a dispufe over a proposed substitute for a House provision designed to force persons who have been on relief rolls continuously for 18 months to take a 60-day “vacation.” The Senate Appropriations Committee proposed that employable persons who have been eligible for WPA jobs for three months or more, and who have not been given employment on work projects, shall have preference in employment over persons who have been on the rolls for 18 months or more.
Calls Proposal Harsh
Senator Bone (D. Wash) denounced the proposal as “harsh” and “sadistic.” Senator Adams (D. Colo.), floor manager of the bill, replied that too many persons are attempting to make a “career” of relief. He said that in one city, which he did not name, 42 per cent of WPA clients have been on the rolls continuously for three years.
Senator Wagner (D. N. YY) said he “resented charges that the people on relief want to stay there.” “I say to you that 90 per cent of the persons on the rolls are decent Americans,” Senator Wagner declared. “They can't get any other work.” Monetary Bill to Conference
The action in sending the monetary bill to conference was taken by a vote of 216 to 164 after short debate and extensive efforts by Democratic leaders and party whips to hold Democrats in line. The House-Senate conference provides an 11th hour chance for the Administration to try to change provisions written into the monetary bill by the Senate which would strip President Roosevelt of his dollar de-
Fight Certain.
By CHARLES T. LUCEY
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 28.-—As-surance that the House Judiciary Committee would act finally tomor-
today led to the abandonment by Senator Hatch, author of the meas-
tion part of the $1,735,000,000 Relief Bill. With the committee apparently ready to amend the bill to make its no-politics provisions less severe than those written by Senator Hatch, the real fight through the legislation in its original broad scope will be left for the floor of the House. Senator Hatch agreed to wait for action by the Judiciary Committee after Rep. Celler (D. N. Y.), acting chairman, and Rep. Walter (D. Pa.) had promised quick action on the measure and support for an early right-of-way to consideration of the floor, Predicts Rewriting From Rep. Dempsey (D. N. M), leading the House fight for the bill, came a prediction that, if the committee reports out a milk-and-water version of the original measure, the House will rewrite it and strengthen it on the floor. If even this fight should lose, the bill, which already has passed the Senate, would go to a conference committee of both Houses. There Senate conferees would have an op-
portunity to hold out against any weakening of the legislation.
valuation power as of midnight tomorrow and fix the Treasury buy - | ing price for domestic silver at 77.57 cents an ounce. The measure was originally de-| signed to continue devaluation authority, the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund and the domestic silver buying program on a 64.64-cent basis. In the conference it was generally expected that the Administration would seek a compromise whereby the devaluation powers would be continued and the silver purchase price would be allowed to stand at| 77.5% cents.
F. D. R. Denounces Senate
Whether such an effort would succeed was doubtful. Action must be completed by midnight tomorvow or the entire monetary control program, stabilization fund, silver buying on the present basis and all will come to an end through automatic expiration of the present law. The Senate bill was denounced by President Roosevelt at Hyde Park, N. Y., yesterday in strong terms. He charged the action would return control of U. S. monetary matters to Wall Street and would weaken national defense by encouraging international currency speculation. Repercussions from the Senate action in voting to end the foreign silver buying program were widespread in fiscal centers. The price in New York dropped to 3814 cents an ounce, the lowest since October, 1933.
Treasury Fears Swamping
The Treasury, to avoid being] swamped by an influx of foreign silver seeking to beat the deadline on the program's end, lowered its price | in conformity with the world market quotation. It was fixed today at 38.5 cents an ounce, a drop of 4'2 cents in two days. Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott (R. Mich.) Priticized President Roosevelt for ‘declaring that the Senate amendments would turn the power over money to Wall Street bankers. “1 don’t think the President gave
very serious consideration to his words when he made that state-
Senator Hatch expressed confidence today, however, that the bill as it is passed by the House could be concurred in at once by the Senate without the necessity of sending it to conference. The Senator had promised to attempt to add his measure to the Relief Bill, now before the Senate, if the house committee did not act promptly. The committee read part of the Hatch bill yesterday and defeated several emasculating amendments, but the really controversial section barring all Federal employees from political activity or campaign management was not reached.
Exemptions Indicated
When this section is reached tomorrow, according to Rep. Celler, an amendment will be offered giving the Civil Service. Commission, with the President's approval, certain broad powers to determine which Federal employees shall be banned from political activity. Such an amendment, Mr. Celler conceded, probably would mean ex emption of several thousand Federal officials and employees. Mr. Hatch is particularly anxious to prohibit Federal employees from going as delegates to national conventions.
ment,” said Rep. Wolcott. “Every economist in the United States worthy of the name has refuted the theory that the dollar price of commodities follows the dollar price of gold.” Rep. John E. Rankin (D. Miss.) said he voted to give the President his present monetary powers because Congress refused to exercise them. “If you turn this power back to Wall Street, which controls the Federal Reserve System,” he said, “I hesitate to predict what will happen to the country in the next 12 months.” “This is a direct attack, politically, at the President of the United States,” Rep. John W. McCormack (D. Mass.) charged.

charge d'affaires, and ranking officials, for MOSCOW. Both Tokyo and Moscow have reported many casualties recently in fighting between Soviet and Japanese airplanes in the ManchukuoMongolian region.
Agree to Negotiate
Japan and Britain, however, agreed to negotiate their conflict over the British concession at Tientsin, which meant that Tokyo had taken the incident out of the hands of the Tientsin military leaders and that a solution was likely. Although foreigners had considered the Japanese blockade of their concession as part of a general drive to oust foreigners from China, the Japanese agreed to make it a local incident but they also demanded that $6,000,000 in silver bullion held | by Chinese banks in the concession he surrendered. Further, they demanded the cooperation of Britain in floating Jap-anese-sponsored currency issued by the local occupation regime in northern China. Tension in South China ports, which the Japanese are blockading to halt munition shipments to the Chinese, increased after U. S. Consul General Clarence E. Gauss at Shanghai had rejected a Japanese note warning foreign shipping to leave Foochow and Wenchow by noon tomorrow. Both British and American representatives said that they would refuse to accept Japan's disavowal of responsibility for safety of foreigners in these ports. American and British warships are in nearby waters and British vessels were to be given whatever escorts are neces: sary.
