HUSTON DEFENDS - AN GROUP FUNDS Senate Lobby Probers Quiz| ! G. 0. P. Chairman on Muscle Shoals. (Continued From Pirst Page.) had been permitted first to go to In- diana, and then to Tate Springs, and that now he was in Detroit, altho he had promised to appear before committee. Mr. Huston testified that money had been raised by the association through the chambers of commerce and boards of trade of many of the cities and towns in the Tennessee River Valley. Bome individual contributions, he utd,l had been made. Asks if Purpose Known. “Did you tell them what you were going to do with the money?” asked Senator Caraway. The witness replied that the money was to take care of the annual require- ments of the association. Senator Caraway said that that was not what he wanted to know, but whether the contributors were ever told Just what the money was expended for. Mr. Huston said much of the money was expended for office expenses. He said that they never had salaried offi- cers, although at one time Col. Worth- ington had been promised a salary of 810,000 a year. fact, Col. Worthington had probably been paid $25,000 in all by the asso- ciation, although the promise to pay him a regular salary had never been carried out. Col. Worthington, he said, had been a man of considerable means, rior to 1917, but then he had suffered ancial reverses, and had a nervous breakdown. He came with the asso- ‘cinéhn in 1918 or 1919, Mr. Huston said. “It was because he was a nervous wreck, and learned that you wouldn’t pay him a salary?” suggested Senator Caraway. “That is not my position,” answered Mr. Huston. “I can state my position better than you can.” In reply to questions by Senator Car- away about records of the association, the canceled checks, and so forth, Mr. :‘luawn, was able to give little informa- jon, “And yet you were rated as a busi- ness expert and it was reported that you were going to put business methods in the Republican national committee,” said Senator Caraway. Refrains From Rejoinder. The witness made no reply to this He said as a matter of | Sh association to ki other than the ent book, Senator Cara it ever occur to you it sary to keep reputation?” Mr. Huston said that it had Senator Caraway wanted whether Mr, Huston had questioned before at a h the Senate judiciary committee ey to pay. ihe expenses of the T money y. the e: o ‘en- nessee aeu':.um at the Cleveland Re- publican national convention, and that the delegates had been f¢ orced to pay their own expenses. Not Embarrassed by Charges. 'n embarrassed by any charges. “Well,” said Senator Caraway, “they would embarrass most honest people.” The witness was asked whether any of the power companies had contributed to the Tennessee River Improvement Association. He replied that they may have _contributed through the local chambers of commerce in the various cities some few thousands of dollars. Mr. Huston told the committee that he had had little conversation with Worthington _regarding _expenditures dus the' last five years. He said that had treated Col. Worthington as_an associate. Senator Caraway questioned Mr. Huston in regard to a memorandum sent him in April, 1929, regarding the Aurora Dam. Mr. Huston said that he had never had any financial in- terests in the Aurora Dam, al h he had been told that he could e some money out of it. time, he said, he had written a letter to the governor and the members of the Legislature of Tennessee them not to put through legislation which would clash with anything that might be done in Washington in con- nection with the power development on the Tennessee River and at Muscle oals. “It seems that it has been charged that there was some ulterior motive back of my sending that letter,” said Mr. Huston. “There was none.” Senator Blaine of Wisconsin wanted to know what relation the Republican national committee had to the Tennes- see River Improvement Association. “None,” said the witness. | Senator Blaine called attention to the | fact that Chairman Huston of the Republican national committee had is- sued a statement from the Republican headquarters describing his connection with the Tennessee association and ask- ing why he had done it. Mr. Huston said that some of the newspapers had carried reports that he was about to as chairman of the Republican national committee. “I would be glad to have you discuss that,” said Senator Blaine. Mr. Huston said that he did talk with the President about the reports, although he did not discuss any possi- bility of his resignation.

Veterans’ Bureau to Speak in Radio Forum. Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the United iflx: Vrl‘eurl::';pmrelu mu.. will speak to t! erican mhje&evhich touches intimately homes and individuals scattered throughout every community in the United States when he makes an address on “Vet- erans’ Relief” Thursday night, March 13, over the National Radio Forum, ar- ranged by The Evenipg Star and spon- sored by the Columbia Broadcasting System over a Nation-wide hook-up. Going before the microphone of Sta- tion WMAL at Washington Director Hines plans to take the public into his confidence concerning some of the big |- problems which face the Veterans' Bu- reau in handling the peculiarly personal problems of administering relief to the hundreds of thousands of veterans of the World War and of other wars. Gen. Hines is on record in favor of a consolidation of all matters pertain- ing to veterans in one single Govern- ment department, believing, for in- stance, that the Veterans' Bureau and the Pension Bureau should be under one administrator. He is head of the bureau which handles Government in- surance and manages the huge string of hospitals throughout the country for the caring of war wounded and vet- erans who cannot traee their illness to war service. This problem of what is known as the “non-service connected patient load” is one of the big questions before the Government and the veterans ;:xd:e); and will be explained by Gen. The human touch of the American Government in dealing with its “sons who have borne the burden of battle” will be discussed by the director. His address will be looked forward to with keenest interest not only by the many great veterans’ organizations and the hordes of individual veterans them- selves, but by the general public, who pays the bill of wars. The Veterans' Bureau spends more money than any other single branch of Government. Nurses Like Their Jobs.
