SENATOR SAYS PROJECT NEGLECTS URBAN SITES Lack of Security in Rendering Aid by Credit Banks Is Storm Center. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Characterizing the so-called compro- mise agreement on the relief measure for the drought stricken and unem- ployed as an “unconditional surrender,” Senator La Follette of Wisconsin today led the attack on the agreement entered into by Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate and the House and approved by the President. The Wisconsin Senator said he re- gretted he could not accept the inter- pretation placed upon the agreement by Senator Robinson of -Arkansas, the Democratic leader, and Senator Cara- way, his colleague, both of whom de- fended the agreement when it was laid before thé Senate late yesterday. Smoot Expects Approval. With a half doxlen or mm;;‘ Sen‘:::s ready to speak at length on the confer- mc‘:yreport on the Interior Department appropriation bill, which contains the agreement, Senator Smoot of Utah, in charge of the measure, said he did not believe it would be possible to reach & vote on the report until tomorrow, or possibly later.

He said relief would go only to those “who can furnish security for loans.” “Those most in need,” said Senator La Follette, “cannot share in the relief this agrcement. There are thousands upon thousands of farmers who have no security to offer.” ‘The Wisconsin Senator said the pro- vision in the agreement for rendering aid through the intermediate credit bank would be entirely ineffective.

Senator Norbeck said that after spending $100,000 in investigating what should be done to aid the farmers, Con- gress decided some 10 years ago to provide for intermediate credit banks on the ground that the farmers needed more credit facilities. He said they have not really helped the farmers. Refers to Hoover Letter. Senator Shipstead of Minnesota fronically declared that perhaps the intermediate credit banks have not been effective in aiding the farmer because the law was not administered with that degree of sympathy ‘now guaranteed by the President of the United States.” He had reference to a letter written by President Hoover to Senator Robinson, which was read into the Record yes- terday. ‘Turning to the provision in the agree- ment which authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to loan money to individual farmers, taking a lien on his crop as security, or some other measure of se- curity, Senator La Follette insisted the Secretary would be derelict in his duty “(Continued on Page 2, Column 7.)

WAGNER MEASURE SIGNED BY HOOVER Bill Provides Advanced Plan- ning in Federal Construction to Aid Employment. President Hoover today signed the Wagner bill providing for advanced planning in Federal construction with a view to keeping up employment in times of depression. ‘This act, according to the viewpoint of the President, while constructive in its purpose, is not a cure for business depression, but will afford better organ- ization for rellef in future depressions. Hoover Praises Authors, ‘The President said after signing this bill, great pleasure in ap- proving the act providing for advanced planning of construction and Federal public works in preparation for future unemployment relief. Senator Wagner and Representative Graham have work- ed out an admirable measure in which they adopted the constructive sug- gestions of the various Government de- partments, “The act gives wider authority and specific organization for the methods which have been pursued by the ad- ministration during the past 14 months in respect to the planning and accelera- tion of Federal construction work for of relief to unemployment in times of depression.

Speaker Longworth this afternoon declined to leave the chair to receive a delegation of men and women gath- |ered to present a Communistic “de- mand” that the Government enact un- employment insurance legislation to re- lieve distress. The Speaker sent word by Repre- sentative Beedy of Maine that if the committee cared to leave its petition “in the regular way,” namely, with the secretary at his office, he would be glad to receive it. The delegation of radicals, forced to wait in the office of Sergeant-at-Arms Joseph Rogers, ‘of the House, received the ultimatum with outspoken dissatis- faction. During their conference with the Sergeant at arms the Communist leaders suggested that the House recess, “as it did for Lindbergh” long enough to permit one of their representatives to read the petition on the floor of the House, This request also was turned down flatly. Declines to Leave Chair. Miss Mildred Reeves, secretary to Speaker Longworth, said she would be glad to receive the petition, but that the Speaker would not leave the chair to meet the delegation, She said it was “absurd” for any one to:request that Mr. Longworth leave the floor to accept service of such a paper. After discussing the Speaker’s refusal to meet them personally, the delegates decided to present the petition to Mr. Longsworth’s secretary. The committee, consisting of 15 “unemployed workers,” headed by the New York Communist leader, Alfred Wagenknecht, returned Speaker's office on the floor above and reluctantly left the document with Miss Reeves. Representative Beedy, in conveying to ‘Wagenknecht the refusal of Speaker Longworth to receive the delegation, re- marked that had he been the Speaker he would have accepted the petition. “Comrades” in Galleries. the mnegotiations in the seargeant at arms’ office, the Capitol corridors on the House side were con- gested with members of the Congress, metropolitan and Capitol policemen, newspaper men and curiosity seekers. In the visitors' galleries were nearly 100 “comrades” of the Workers’ Com- mittee, waiting impatiently in the hope mt their petition would be read from loor. The delegates left the Capitol shortly after leaving the petition with the Speaker's secretary. There was no disorder or display of banners. Scores of Metropolitan and Capitol policemen were stationed in and around the Capitol to prevent recurrence of scenes like those which marked the last Communist march on Congress in De- cember. Tear gas bombs and night- sticks were used on that occasion to disperse the disorderly throngs. Urges Against Demonstration. ‘Wagenknecht exhorted his followers just before leaving for the Capitol against making a demonstration of any kind. He urged them to sit quietly in the visitors’ gallery of the House while the committee sought to present its statement to the Speaker. The delegates, in accordance with careful instructions given them this morning by Wagenknecht at a meeting at 314 C street, moved on the Capitol in small groups from different direc- tions. Two headquarters detectives and several policemen attended the C street meeting to learn of the plans. ¢ ‘Wagenknecht said the police would experience no trouble, as his group was not “seeking a fight.” Riot Guns Handy. Capt. 8. J. Gnash of the Capitol Police nevertheless took extreme pre- cautions to prevent disorder.

By the Associated Press. Opposition to the $30,000,000 battle- ship modernization program was regis- tered by Representative French, Repub- lican, Idaho, today in declaring before the House Rules Committee to under- take it would be “an unfortunate mis- take.” Mr. French is chairman of the House Appropriations Naval Subcommittee. He said high naval officers had begun to believe “the battleship is not the ship of the fleet it was,” and added “aircraft and the submarine are taking its place.” 1935 Parley Cited. As the backbone of the fleet, he said, the battleship is a “type that is passing away.” In view of the coming 1935 naval conference he held the $30,000,000 to modernize the ships New Mexico, Idaho and Mississippi should not be ex- pended. He suggested ‘they may be dropped from service as a result of the S Epeaking 1o ition to th 8 n e request of Chairman ngaun of the el-;lpu:e Naval Committee for preferred legisla- tive status of the administration- sponsored measure, the Idahoan said two-thirds of the members of both the Senate and the House Naval Affairs Committees were from sections havh navy yards and bases. He chary they were influenced by the self-interest of their constituents. Questioned by Representative Mich- ener, Republican, Michigan, whether the three ships had the speed, gun range and protection of modern battle- ships, Mr. French conceded Great Britain had ships that not only were faster but could outshoot United States battleships. Reductions in Ships. Later in the House, Mr. French said the annual naval supply bill provided for & reduction from 242 to 196 com- missioned ships for the Navy in the fiscal year 1932 The bill, carrying $344,342,008, is $36,310,000 less than expenditures for the current year. ‘The reduction in personnel and ships, he said, were in line with the reorgani- zation of the fleet under the London naval treaty.

Rheem, executive vice president of Swartzell, Rheem & Hensey, was filed today in District Supreme Court. Rheem recently was arrested on a warrant charging him with embezzling mortgage notes aggregating $162,000, which had been left with the bank- rupt mortgage house for safekeeping. The bankruptcy petition against him was filed by Carrio O. Allnutt, Cora E. Higgins and Delia E. Hoopes, who al- lege that Rheem is insolvent and in- debted to them in excess of $500. Held Personally Liable. A violation of the bankruptcy law is alleged against Rheem, because he is said to have attempted to prefer the estate of Clarence B. Rheem, his father, by making a payment to it in excess of $10,000 within the past four months. All the petitioners, through Attorney E. Hilton Jackson, claim that Rheem is personally responsible because as trustee he released deeds of trust secur- ing notes held by them when he knew | p, the notes had not been paid, leaving them without security for the money they invested. Rheem was ordered to show cause on Febrmary 26 why he not be adjudged bankrupt. Adkins to Act Thursday. It was learned yesterday that Justice Jesse C.

LOS ANGELES, February 10.—Daisy de Boe, former secretary of Clara Bow, film actress, was granted probation from a prison term by Judge Willlam Doran today, but she must spend 18 ! months in the county jail. ‘The remainder of a five-year period she will be at liberty under supervision of the county probation officer.

Miss De Boe stood firmly and looked intently at the court as Judge Doran quietly announced his decision. After the court had told her she would not have to serve a possibie rison term of 1 to 10 years, she looked at her attorney, Willlam Beirne, for an instant and then, apparently resigning herself to the court’s judgment, she walked from the court room to begin her term in the county jail.
