BOOM- AND-BUST

CYCLE IS FEARED ‘BY LA FOLLETTE

‘Wisconsin Senator to Urge Neutrality Act With Export Limit.

| By LEE G. MILLER Times Special ‘Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Senator ‘Robert La Follette (Prog. Wis.) to-

day reaffirmed his intention of proposing a neutrality act amendment that would ration our wartime exports on a quota basis, in order to Prevent a new boom-and-bust cycle like that during and after the last war. Bu he declined to go into de‘tails. , “He said a number of aspects of ‘the quota plan required further study before he -could draft his amendment. « While the Senator is an isolationist on philosophical and moral grounds, he is advancing his quota plan on the more prosaic basis of a dollars-and-cents argument,

| “This Is Madness”

" “The only thing that can use up the excess capacity created by a war boom,” he says, “is still another war boom. This is madness from a business point of view.” i Hence, while gdvocating refention of the arms embargo, he would go even further and prevent sharp in‘creases in our exports of commodities that are not exclusively connected with warfare. . His delay in perfecting an amend‘ment occasions no surprise here. But while the quota proposition is one that, does not lend itself readily to 8 simply legislative formula, it has various backers in and out of the Gov rnment who think some sort of elastic yardstick might be devised.’ { Presuming that exports were to “normal” yearly average, it is asked by’ some skeptics, how | would the nermal figure be determined? + If an average over the last five years were proposed, for instance, p ucers of certain commodities would undoubtedly complain that these recent years have been subnormally slack.

| Quota Basis Uncertain

Hf the basis were 10 years or 20, son [the other hand, others would complain that in recent years their exports have been gaining, and that to spread the average over the lean years of the past would reduce their quotas unjustly. :: Would the quotas be fixed on a

3

. “global” basis, or by countries? If

the latter, what would happen for instance in the case of Germany? If she could not come and get her quota, would it be spread among the rest? ose are some of the points Senator La Follette must deal with in perfecting his amendment. + Meanwhile the Hoover-Lindbergh plan for permitting the export of “defensive” arms while prohibiting the shipment of “offensive” arms seems to have found little public support here. The argument is frequently heard that “in war the best defense is a counter-offensive.”

ENDURANCE FLIERS ESCAPE AIR BOMBS

MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. 20 (U. P.).— Indiana's two endurance fliers passed their 456th hour aloft today after narrowly escaping possible damage last night when two aerial bombs, fired from the ground by a group of men lighting a fiery cross, almost struck the plane. The fliers, Kelvin Baxter, Richmond, and Robert McDaniels, Muncie, saw the men in a field south of the Airport and flew low over them. Then the aerial bombs were exploded and the cross lighted. Officials said that about 10 fiery crosses have been ignited recently. Mr. Baxter and Mr. McDaniels reported that all signs of recent motor trouble had disappeared and they were botl in good health.

Glenn Dye in obtaining information from Virgil Heikert, a prisoner held there in connection with the shooting of a Michigan City, Ind., policeman, “The judge apparently is not familiar with the ‘reprehensible’ tricks used by criminals against police, especially’ when they shoot down police officers without cause,” Capt. Eckert said. Forced to Use Them “Police are forced to use every trick imaginable in order to cope with shooting tricks of dangerous criminals. State Patrolman Dye, after four months of investigation tracking down clues in the Michigan City shooting, went to St. Joseph recently to ‘question Heikert about the identity of a woman accomplice in the shooting. # He posed as an attorney representing Heikert’s wife and told the prisoner his wife had been convicted in the shooting and that unless he identified the real woman in the case his wife would be sent to prison for 20 years. Heikert, according to Capt. Eckert,

arrested in Kansas City last Monday. Judge Claims Bad Ethics “The. trick was not only unethical but, in my opinion, absolute violation of the law,” Judge Frankenhoff said. “Any officer that would represent himself as an attorney is guilty of a criminal offense just as a layman who represents himself as a state or Federal officer. Capt. Eckert said the “judge apparently thinks dangerous criminals can be handled ethically and that killers must be allowed to run loose unless they can be caught with purely ethical tactics.”

GOV. HEIL SCORES WOMEN LOBBYISTS

MADISON, Wis., Oct. 20 (U. P.). —Governor Julius P, Heil today accused the 1939 Wisconsin Legislature of succumbing to the lure of “wine, women and song” at the expense of his legislative program. The Legislature ended a record length 269-day session Oct. 6 still facing the prospect of a special call before the end of the year to enact budget balancing revenue measures. “There were women in the hotels doing lobbying,” charged the rotund greying chief executive, who frequently addresses reporters with

“God bless Jou.”

“Now, don’t get me wrong; I'm not opposed to that. They have a right to vote and express themselves as guaranteed under the Women

Suffrage Act. “But their lobbying efforts did retard legislation. There was too much of this wine,’'women and song after business hours.”
