(Continued From First Page.) .timony before the eommittee without blush of shame touching their cheeks “Neither witness was candid,” added. Recalling the memorandum written by Wuichet showing he had informa- tion about the secret sessions of the Senate finance commit- tee on the tariff bill, Senator Caraway sald, “He got that information from Eyanson.” Wuichet told the committee he couldn't recall where he got the| information. “I wanted to show that there was some one down here pretending to give out valuable information,” -continued and that somebody was the st of the Connecticut Manu- Association, No Defense Is Offered. No one arose to the defense of Sena- tor Bingham and when Senators Cara- way and Walsh had concluded Chair- man Smoot of the finance committee called for a vote on the next amend- ment to the pending tarifl bill. Senator George, Democrat, Georgia, asserted the “shadow of the Connecti- cut Manufacturers’ Association runs across every schedule of this bill and it will continue to grow large “It's bad enough,” he said, “to have politics in tariff-making, but it's finitely worse to have co-partnership between business and the tariff.” Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re-‘ publican leader, was drawn into the dis- cussion when George repeated the state- ment_the “shadow of the Connecticut assoclation 15 across every schedule in this bill.” “What do you mean by that?” asked ‘Watson. “I repeat,” George sald, “that every gchedule in this bill is under suspicion by the development in this case.” Watson replied that every rate de- cided upon was fixed on the merits of “. the individual case “I don't suppose Mr. Eyanson talked to a single Senator of the committee on the subject of rates while the bill was before us,” Watson said adding, “Cer- tainly he didn’t talk to me.” The report of the lobby investigating committee contained the specific recom- mendation—that the Senate adopt & resolution calling upon the Department of Commerce to submit a list of any “dollar-a-year” men on its rolls, as & result of the testimony of Joseph E. Wuichet of the Connecticut association that he was @ dollar-a-year man for the department. The committee al 3 - “questions the propriety of the utili- zation of the funds of a railroad com- . pany for the payment of services of 4 Jobbyist in Washington.” This declara tion was made after the committee said it had found that the New York, New - Haven & Hartford Railroad had con- tributed about $4,000 to the Connecti- cut Manufacturers' Assoclation. = ] Cites Law on Payments. “Wwhether such contributions are for- bidden by any statute may be the sub- ject of further communication from your -committee,” the report added. The report called attention to the law. relating to payments of individuals doing Government work by private con- cerns. This had to do with Wuichet's services for the Department of Com- nierce, however, and no reference Was made in this connection to the action of Senator Bingham in placing” Charles Eyanson, an officer of the Connecticut Manuafacture Assoclation, on the Government pay roll. Relating the details of the Bingham- Eyanson incident, the report said, in b “He (Eyanson), came to Washing- ton while the tariff bill was under con- sideration by the committee on ways and means of the House of Representa- fives in the early part of the present year, and aided members of the asso- Ciation in preparing arguments and data for submission by them to the committee referred to. Letter to Hubbard Quoted. “On February 25, 1929, Senator Bingham wrote to Mr. Hubbard, saying with other things: ‘I am wondering whether there is any one whom you could loan me as ar expert adviser on tariff problems, particularly those 1 which Connecticut is interested.” * ¢ * “Eyanson came to Washington iy take the position, in effect as a clerk fn the office of Senator Bingham, in Which he had a desk, where he Tu- eeived callers who came to consult with him or Senator Bingham, or both. He sembled; material for the use of Sen- or Bingham in connection with the hearings before the Senate committee or finance and attended the hearings, occupying & seat from which he could communicate at any time with Senator Bingham, and aided him with sugges- tions while the hearings were in prog- ress. After the hearings were com- pleted the majority members went into secret session for the purpose of cor sidering the bill. At that time, at tr direction of Senator Bingham, Eyan- son was sworn in as clerk of the com mittee on territories and insular po: gessions, of which Senator Bingham was then and is now the clg’rinan. displacing one Henry M. Bary, whu was told by Senator Bingham that his salary would nevertheless —continu. This course was pursued, the committec as told by Senator Bingham, that vanson might be ‘subject to the disei- ine of the Senate' the significance ing left unexplained. Objected to Eyanson's Presence. “After Eyanson had thus been intro- duced into the secret meeting of the majority members and had sat with them for some two or three days Sen- ator Smoot, chairman of the commit- tee, inquired of Senator Bingham whether he, Eyanson, was an offic employe of the Manufacturers’ Asso ation of Connecticut, and being adv that he was, Senator Bingham was told by Senator Smoot that objection had been made to Eyanson's presence in the committee and intimated that it would be better if he did not longer attend Senator Bingham then inquired as to the attitude of the other members of the committee and from the views thus elicited reached the conclusion that Eyanson ought not longer to attend the meetings, and he did not. Eyanson dyew his salary as clerk of the commit- tee on Territories and insular posses gfons. At the end of his first month's service as such he turned the amount 86 received over in cash to Senator Ringham. The remainder of his salary lso réported that it while he continued on the rolls he dr?w | the | apd turned over to Mr. Barry, Whole amounting to $357.50." The committee quoted the minutes of the association ticut industries. from the memorandum Written whs with Senator Bingham. “1t is obvious from the memorandum that Wuichet, who was in Hartford, Cpnn., at the time the memorandum whs written, had information concern- ing some of the proceedings in the sécret meetings of the majority mem- bers of the finance committee, but he iformed your committee that he had nb recollection of the source of his in- frmation, and while he denied that i céme from Eyanson, he admitted tha he could assign no wther source from Which it could come.

BUSINESS SOUND, HOOVER CONVINCED Upwagd Wage Trend and Increased Production Held Healthy Indications. By the Associated Press. In spite of the week’s ruinous decline in security prices, President Hoover i convinced that the general condition of American business is strong and sound. ‘The collapse of the stock market led newspaper men to question the Chief Executive as to his opinion of the sit- uation and he replied with a highly optimistie and reassuring statement. ‘The - production and distribution of cormodities, which he termed the fundaméntal business of the country, he declared to be upon a *sound and pros- perous basis.” As the best evidence of </ the truth of this assertion, the Presi- dent pointed out that although produc- tion and consumption are at high levels, the average prices of commodities have not increased nor has there been any mul‘:lpllmon of stocks or manufactured goods. In addition, Mr. Hoover said that the trend of wages was upward and that individual output of workers in many industries whs growing. All of these factors he interpreted as indicating a “healthy condition.” ‘The Chief Executive, however, noted a few weak spots in the Nation's business structure. The constructicn and build- ing industries have been affected to some extent, he said, by high interest rates resulting from speculation on the stock exchange. He added, without naming the industries in question, that a seasonal decrease had been noted in one or two other fields, but this, he said, was of a "andnrr character,” when considered in its relation t the whole situation. Mr. Hoover also mentioned a sympa- thetic decline in grain prices which ac- companied the drop in stock quotations, asserting that this usually happens. The significant factor in the grain market is, he said, that the year's world production is estimated at 500,000,000 bushels less than last year, which will result in a very low carry-over at the end of the present harvest year. The President made no direct com- ment on the stock exchange situation, but did allude to it in speaking of the drop in grain prices “sympathetically with stock exchange prices.” The statement was jssued late yes- terday at the President’s regular semi- weekly conference with Washington newspaper correspondents. | MAKES NEW RECORD. U. S. Altitude Winner Makes Claim to World Honor. KANSAS CITY, October 26 (#).— Already holder of the American alti- tude record for light planes, Lieut. Winfred G. Moore yesterday established what he believes is a world record for the same class of airplane. Barographs in the plane recorded 21,000 and 21,600 feet, respectively. A third sealed barograph will be sent to the United States Bureau of Standards at_Washington for a formal report. The present world record is 19,800 feet, held by Capt. Godfrey De Havi- land of England. Moore’s American record is 18,543 feet. PREFER MEN’S VOICES.

Another index of the Govern- ment's belief in the firm position of business was given-in the sur- vey of general business and finan< clal conditions for September and October issued yesterday by the Federal Reserve Board. While industrial activity * ins creased less in September than is usual at this season of the year, the reserve board reported pro- duction was above the level of last year and for the third quar- ter of this year was 10 per cent above the corresponding period in 1928. For the first ‘half of Oc- tober the survey showed a reduc- tion in steel plant operations, but increases in bitumincus coal and petroleum production. For the agricultural situation the board reported a larger cotton crop, but smaller. corn and wheat crops than for last year. WATER EXTENSIONS URGED IN 5-YEAR DISTRICT PROGRAM First Page.)

Removal of Senator Bingham of Con- nectieut from-the Senate finance com- mittee, because of his employment of Charles L. Eyanson, assistant to the president of the Connecticut Manufac- turers’- Association, to aid Bingham In his work on the tariff bill, was suggested today by Senator Dill pf Washington, Democrat. Senator Dill made this suggestion in an interview. He said that he had not determined whether he would offer & resolution to that effect; that he was inclined to wait for the Senate finance committee or the Senate lobby commit- tee, which has investigated the Eyanson case, to make some move in the matter. During the debate in the Senate today on the Eyanson matter, Senator Dill interrupted Senator George of Georgla, asking him what he thought the Senate should do in regard to this case and whether Senator George had made up his mind as to the course which should be pursued. Senator George replied that he had not reached any conclusion. The Senate lobby committee submit- ted today to the Senate, through its chairman, Senator Caraway of Arkan- sas, & report outlining the testimony taken in regard to the employment of Eyanson by Senmator Bingham. The report made no recommendation. 8o far. membets of the committee have not indicated what course, if any, they may recommend with regard to this matter. Senator Dfll sald he had a high per- sonal regard for Senator Bingham and that he did not wish to impute dis- honest intentions to the Senator from Connecticut. He sald, however, that he believed some action should be taken by the Senate and that the first step should be thé removal of Senator Bingham from the finance committee. It has been suggested in some quarters, Senator Dill sald, that a vote of censure -should be taken by the Senate, criticising the employment of Eyanson by Senator Bifigham. Senator Dill expressed the opinion that removal of the Connecticut Senator from the finance committee would be a better way of dealing with the matter.

Oram recommended that items No. 2, 3 and 4 be included in the 1931 budget estimates as a supple- thental item, as the necessity for these improvements only becomes vital dur- ing the extended hot weather in Au- gust when the daily consumption in- creases from a maximum of 829 mil- lion gallons a day to 101 million zal- ons a day and an adequate water supply cannot be maintained on parts of the second, third and fourth high services,. Items 5 and 6 are rec- ommended for inclusion in the fiscal year of 1932; item 7 is to be spread over the fiscal year of 1933 and 1934, and items 8 and 8 for the fiscal year 1935, ‘The report states that consideration has been given to the 1uutkm of re- roning the gravily service to provide for increased pressure in the business section for fire fighting uses. The re- port states, however, that the present pressure has proved adequate so far to meet the demands. Involves Complications.

As he makes the announcement, Mr. Hammond will in- troduce Paul Claudel, French Ambas- sador to the United States, who will present the Sevres vase to the victor on behalf of the French government, donor of the trophy. Time will be a governing feature of tonight's meeting. The contest -will be launched promptly at 8 o'clock. At the conclusion of Mr. Leigh's address—at approximately 8:05 o'clock—the doors of the Constitution Hall will be opened 1o persons who do not hold tickets. At that time all seat reservations become void and any unoccupied place may be taken. Each contestant will be allowed 10 minutes in which to deliver his oration. If he is not finished at the expiration of that period a whistle will be sounded by the official timekeepers and the speaker must halt instantly. Should he continue to speak he will be dropped automatically to last place. The time- keepers will be Maj. Gen. Harry L. Gilchrist, U. 8. A, and Rear Admiral Luke McNamee, U. S. N. Among those who accepted the in- vitation to_attend the reception were: Dr. Jan Herman van Royen, Minister of the Netherlands and chairman of the committee of judges, and Mrs. van Royen; Dr. Paul G.

Orators Entertained. The young orators who will contend for the world championship in speech- making tonight met for the first time iate yesterday at the Virginia home of Mr. and Mrs. Leigh. There was no com- petition there—unless it could have been one to determine which of the youn? speakers enjoyed himself most— but instead there was fraternity en- gendered by warm hospitality which the Ieighs showered upon the lone girl and the eight boys, and the guests who had assembled to do them honor. In probably no other private home in this part of the country could the | international orators have received a more thorough acclimatization, for the Leigh house, set in the midst of rolling hills of Fairfax County, in the State which gave the first President and many eatly American statesmen, fairly breathed the spirit of Colonial America from the white columns actoss its front to its crackling log fires within. Most of the languages of the world were heard in the cosmopolitan assemblage. Sometimes it was necessary for a con- testant to speak through two of his fellow orators to & guest whose lire uistic powers were confined to Eng- lish. Benlgno Petit Lecaros, the Peruvian, for instance, speaks less English than Roberto Ortiz Gris, the Mexican, who himself i3 no student of English. Hence, when & person knowing no Spanish wished to converse with Lecaros, he was likely to address the South American through James Leonard Butsch, the Wlahfn‘ton boy, who, as The Star’s candidate for the American national ¢l mplnmm‘,u‘, competed in the Amer- n finals here last Bpring. Butsch knows some Spanish, having toured South America last Summer.. He phrased sthe query or statement in his mediocre Spanish to the Mexican, who, by inserting broken English in the flow of Spanish, could understand the American. Then the Mexican would transiate the gquery all over again in good Spanish for the Peruvian. The Icm; Xroteflurc then would be reversed an nally the originator of the ques- tion would receive his reply, and, if he could remember what he had asked in the first place, another query, or perhaps a statement, would start the eircuitous route of the linguists.

She was met at Union Station by Miss Elizabeth Olsen, representing the Da- nish legation, and Julius M. Nielsen, director of the Hans Christian Andersen Circle. When the young Scandinavian champion entered the circle at the re- ception she towered above the heads of most of her boy opponents in tonight's contest. Hers is the true Nordic type, physical complacency marked by a firm clasp of the hand, a level glance, and a broad smile as she greets each new- comer. Allen, the English spokesman, proved himself an esthete when he sought a western porch to view the sun as it sank behind the purple hills. As they enjoyed themselves, the boys and the girl met the men who tonight will sit in judgment upon their efforts in_ Constitution Hall. Then, fraternity relgned, but tonight, this social contact will fade before cold judgment as the six multilinguists pick from the nine Joung speakers the year's champion igh school orator. Chicago L.ake Front Islands Suggested As City Breakwater Officials Discuss Plans For Preventing Future Damage by Storms. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, October 26.—A chain of islands along the Chicago lake front was suggested yesterday as a means of shackling Lake Michigan in time of storm to prevent a repetition of the devastating damage wrought by wind and wave during the gale which swept the Great Lakes early this week. A conference of city officials and en- gineers met yesterday and discussed plans for preventing future damage, estimating the havoc in the wake of the recent storm would cost well uj the millions. It was shown that a chain of islands off the Chicago lake front would serve as a breakwater for the city and fit in hicely with the city's plans for its world fair in 1933, which is to be located chiefly on islands yet to be built. All along the western and southern shore line of Lake Michigan extensive damage was done, piers wrecked, sl sunk, houses undermined and highw. flooded and weakened. Ships at sea also felt the wrath of the Autumn gale, and more than 50 lives were lost when the car ferry Milwaukee went down Tues- day night. Ship disasters cannot be prevented, the conference agreed, but preparations can be made to save property along the shore from further violence by storms. SAFE LOOTED OF $25.
