LENDING TOTAL CUT, APPROVAL EXPECTED NOW

Bill Prohibits Spending in

Competition With Private , Business.

WASHINGTON, July 22 (U.P.).— The Senate Banking and Currency

Committee expected to report Pres-|

ident Rdosevelt’s multibillion dollar lending bill today, making possible floor consideration Monday. Early passage of the reduced bill was forecast. The Committee worked most of yesterday and part of the evening to complete its action so as to facilitate Congress’ attempt to adjourn the first week in August. The committee chopped $310,000,-

000 more from the authorizatian|

originally requested and killed

amendments seeking to authorize ¥ =

loans to small business and funds for a new $350,000,000 public werks

* program

Mr. Roosevelt originally asked for authorization to lend $3,060,000,000 for various self-liquidating projects. In an effort to appease opposition

various changes were made by the]

Administration reducing the authorization to $2.300.000,000. Action by the Committee yesterday pide: the authorization which

Go West! These Three

probably will be reported to the Senate at $2.490,000,000. :

The Committee adopted a pro- i

posal by Senator Adams (D. Colo.) requiring that all money spent under the act, be kept in channels where there is no competition with private industry. Exempted from that provision, however, were hospitals. ‘An amendment offered by Senator Mead (D. N. Y.), authorizing the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to lend new funds to small business was defeated.. There was no rollcall vote. Tne Committee actually cut $400.000,000 from the bill, but $90,000,000 of that saving was returned on adoption of a proposal by Senator D. Worth Clark (D. Idaho) to give the Reclamation Service that much money to finance projects already authorized. Other Committee changes included reduction of the fund for roads from $750,000,000 to. $500,000,000; that for purchases of railroad equipment from $500,000,000 to $350.000,000. and earmarking of $300,000,000 of the $600,000,000 in rural aid for a farm tenancy assistance program.

BOYS TO SEEK INDIAN RELICS

Shortie Students Know Where It Costs Least To Go Fishing.

By JOE COLLIER When the boys get all their shots, learn how to use the gasoline stove,

have saved a little more money and notice by the calendar that it's July 31—specially that—they will shove off for the great Southwest. The boys are Kurt Vonnegut, 48 W. 42d St.: Bud Gillespie, 2850 N. Talbott Ave., and George Jeffrey, 4720 Graceland Ave. Last winter, when they were making good grades in the junior class at Shortridge High School, they also were carrying on. a campaign for a month's trip this summer. They had sort of planned one for last summer but that fell through. Having learned from experience they found they were veteran cam paigners and there hasn't been single discouraging word about this year’s venture.

They Know Where to Fish

around and know how much fishing licenses cost, in all the states they intend to travel in, and that’s one reason they know that they cost $20 in New Mexico. They're not going to fish there. They have heen commissioned by the Children’s Museum to bring back anything that looks good, and that's why they hope for permission to dig in some of Indian villages for relics. George Jeffrey is the spark plug in the digging plans because he has a special missions. He wants a “skull or something like that.” “Why a skull?” - “Well, wouldn't it be nice to have

dead for hundreds of years?” he asks. Although all three are due to start|& the senior year at Shortridge this fall, they have considered the possibility of being unavoidably de-

tained beyond opening time. There at

might be an Indian ceremony they have to see, for instance. They understand one of the best is held | EL late in August at a place that would make them a trifie late for opening. Bad as they dislike the idea of being tardy, they may have to take it in, they all agree.

All to Carry Cameras

All are going to take cameras and they are going to camp out along the way. They had considered taking pistols to deal with any snakes which might give them trouble, but they gave that up and are taking a rifle. “We were practicing around with pistols,” George explainéd, “and we weren’t so hot.” Bach one will make a reeord of the trip except George and he will make two. “Every time I take a trip,” he said, “the family always wants to know all about it when I get home and I .can’t think of much to tell them. “So this time I'm going to make two diaries. When I walk in home after the trip and they ask what I've seen I'll just hand them the extra one.”

EX-PENDERGAST AID INDICTED BY U.S.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 22 (U. P.).—Charles V. Carollo, reputedly number one collector for the syndicate that during Boss Tom Pendergast’'s regime controlled this city’s wide-open gambling, today was under indictment for Federal income tax evasion. The same grand jury which started Pendergast to prison three months ago charged Carollo with failing to report $452,007 income from 1935 through 1938.

IMPORTER FILES GROSS TAX CASE

Against State Is Sought to Prevent “Added Collection.

An injunction suit asking that the State be restrained from collecting

the SmokeTeria Importing Co., Int, 917 N. Capitol Ave., was on file today in Superior Court. The suit names as defendants Governor Townsend; Joseph Robertson, State Treasurer: Clarence A.

Omer Stokes Jackson, Attorney General, and the State Treasury De-

The company contends in the

Dec. 31, 1937 it paid $6008.70 in gross income tax which was 34 of 1 per cent of its gross sales. The State now seeks to collect, the suit says, an additional $2258.54 which is the tax on % of 1 per cent of the gross sales.

Explains Difference

Othneil Hitch, company attorney, explained that the latter ambunt was smaller because the State contended that the company should be taxed as a wholesaler on certain sales and as a retailer on others. The State law provides that retailers. shall be taxed at the rate of three-quarters of one per cent and retailers at one per cent. The complaint alleges that the company is strictly a wholesaler doing an inter-state and intra-state tobacco and tobacco supplies business. It also alleges that Superior Court Judge Clarence E. Weir in 1934, in a declaratory judgement, decreed that the company should pay only one-quarter of one per cent tax as a wholesaler. The relationship of the company te its clients has not changed since that time, the suit claims. On May 12, 1939 another hearing was held before Fred C. McClurg, Gross Income Division chief counsel, the complaint says, and the request for the additional tax is the result of that hearing. The suit asks a temporary injunc-

FINDS LIFE CLUE | IN YEAST STUDY|

‘Harvard Scientist Makes |

Cells Behave Like Animal Tissue.

COLD SPRING HARBOR, N. Y,, July 22 (U. P)~—~Common Baker's yeast under controlled laboratory conditions behaves like animal tissue, a Harvard scientist reported today, and may in the course of time shed light on life . processes fiow cloaked in mystery. | Dr. Theodore J. B. Stier of the Harvard = biological laboratories, contributing to a symposium on quantitative biology, reported that by “feeding” sugar and alcohol to yeast cells he had caused them to produce animal starch and fat. His experiments, Dr. Stier said, might prove to be of practical importance in the event of fat shortages in time of war.

Sugar Steps Up Process

Because of the similarity of yeast cells to animal muscle and liver cells, Dr. Stier said, his findings

«may contribute to the knowledge of

how food stores of sugar are built into muscle ‘and liver tissue and later converted into fat in animals. In the first tests of their kind Dr. Stier kept yeast cells in an alcohol or sugar bath. He discovered that alcohol helped the cells to convert their own stored carbohydrate into fat and that the process was stepped up by adding a ration of sugar to the “diet.” Dr, Stier also starved” the cells, discovering in the process: that he could produce a state of suspended animation by depriving them of food and oxygen.

Cells Devour Themselves

This |discovery—that yeast cells may exist without chemical change and still live—may suggest a method of preserving yeasts for storage or shipment, he said. Dr. Stiers also was able to cause yeast cells to devour themselves by giving them oxygen but at the same time depriving them of food. In thus consuming their own stores of fat and animal starch, the cells created in themselves a pronounced vitamin B deficiency which he said might be useful for experimental purposes. Yeast cells, unlike animal tissue, can live and thrive without oxygen, Dr. Steir- said. Fed glucose in the absence of | oxygen, he ' reported, they “put on weight,” storing starch and alcohol more rapidly than in the presence of oxygen.
