TREASURY HEAD SEES SEVERE STRAIN AHEAD Backers of Measure, However, Re- main Firm in Belief It Will Be Adopted. By the Associated Press. The chairmen of House and Senate committees which deal with revenue- raising legislation joined Secretary Mel- lon today in opposition to the veterans’ loan compromise. Chairman Smoot of the Senate Fi- nance Committee agreed with Chairman Hawley of the House Ways and Means Committee that the Government would have to raise taxes or float a bond issue r IMMUNITY OF FLOOR WAIVED to meet the cost of the bill. Hawley sald he favored aid to veter- ans. He added, however, it seemed the benefit to veterans under the Bacharach compromise, estimated to cost from $700,000,000 to $1,700,000,000, would do more harm to the country than it would good to ex-service men. Deficit to Be Larger. Smoot warned the Government al- ready faced a deficit at the end of the fiscal year “much more” than he pre- dicted several months ago when he placed it at $350,000,000. Supporters of the veterans’ loan com- promise appeared, however, to be hold- ing firm in the face of the opposition. Minority Leader Garner said he felt certain Congress would not be material- 1y influenced by fhe Secretary's states ments. Garner said had it not been for a $900,000,000 ‘“blunder” of Mel- lon’s when the bonus quéstion was be- fore Congress in 1924 the matter would have been settled. “Mr. Mellon estimated a deficit for that fiscal year of some $600,000,000, whereas there was in reality a surplus of more than $300,000,000. A small error of $900,000,000 within a period of less than 90 days.” Estimate of Payments. « Garner said officials of the Veterans' Bureau estimated that not more than 60 per cent of the veterans would take advantage of the loan provision, and that under no conditions would it be necessary to convert Government se- curities into cash in excess of $600,000,- 000 for the first six months. “The best authority is that this would not materially “afféct the bond and stock markets,” he added. Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut, the mt}mlty lzld;l;.c hué?d he thld a proposition wi not go mr as the Bacharach compromise could have been decided upon, “so I could have gone along.” Representative Rankin, Democrat, Mississippi, assailed Secretary Mellon’s opposition to the proposition. Mellon Opposes Bill. Secretary Mellon, basing objection almost_exclusively on' the difficult situ- ation of the Treasury—increased appro- priations; dwindling revenues and im- pending large refunding operations— communiogted the administration view to_Chairman Hawley last night. Hawley already had sought delay in action on the loan plan, sponsored by Representative harach, Republican, New Jersey, to ascertain definitely ‘Where the money would come from, but before the Mellon statemsnt was issued Speaker Longworth said he did not be- lieve any expression from the admin- istration would change his attitude in favor of the measure as a “sane, sen- sible and sound” piece of legislation. Bacharach said he would make the formal report on his measure to the House today, presenting also the Mellon statement, but aecompanying it with comments of his own. Sentiment is Divided. ‘The effect on the membership, which had appeared overwhelmingly for the bill, was not immediately calculable, in view of the division among the majority leaders. Longworth and Chairman Snell of the Rules Committee were virtually committed to the legislation. ‘The plan’s sponsors’ forecast, how:ver, it would pass as scheduled. It was because of Hawley's pesition that the committee in ordering 17 to 4 & favorable l.}'epm"-. turned the task over to rach. Secretary Mellon's statement said he could not “too urgently recommend that this measure should have re idera- tion in order that it should be placed upon 2 basis which will not damage our whole financial system.” Need of Appropriation. He calculated the cost of the legisla- tion at its potential maximum, $1,72f 000,000 less the amount already loaned, and said it would involve an appropria- tion of approximately a billion unless Congress was prepared to incur an ob- ligation without providing means of meeting it. Bacharach, borrowed only $, spite the mated they would not withdraw more than $250,000,000 under his plan. But Secretary Mellon said the amount could not be determined and estimates ran trom $550,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. “The suggested use of the adjusted service certificate fund ($772,000,000 less $21,000,000 reserved for payment of Geath claims this year) does not alter the situation as these reserves are in Treasury obligations, which will need to be converted into cash by means of (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.) signed, last May 30, is alleged to have accepted’ $50 from a liquor runner for sllowing a cargo of liquor to cross the Detroit River from Canada.

ARIZONA TOWN HIT BY WAL OF WATER One Dead as Cottages Are Carried Away—Trains Back Out of Peril. By the Associated Press. YUMA, Ariz, Pebruary 14—A cloud- burst sent a wall of water down a canyon and thrcugh the village of Well- ton, 38 miles east of here, last night, and otherwise wrought havoc in South- ern Arizona. At least one person drowned and five were missing as a result of the storms. Rain had fallen for an hour in Well- ton when the roar of rushing water was heard. Within a few minutes a wall of water 6 feet high and 250 yards wide tumbled out of a flat-bottomed canyon running from the rocky hills into the city. 0y ‘The water swirled through the streets, washing away a dozen cottages, de- molishing two business buildings, rip- ping up a mile and a half of railroad track and highway and tearing. out power and telephone lines. Anutos Carried Away. - ¥Autcmobiles caught in the first rush were carried away and wrecked. The one known victim was drowned when his car was washed into a ditch. He was identified only as & man named Temple or Templeton, bound from On- tario, Canada, to Centro, Calif. Residents of Wellton scrambled to the roofs of their houses and remained there overnight. One motorist climbed a tree and perched there until dawn. The town for a time was a lake 6 feet deep. A less severe storm sent a cataract into Mohawk and washed out the rail- road and highway there. Four Southern Pacific trains were halted by the washouts. Two passenger trains,sbound from Chicago to Los An- geles, were stopped short of Wellton and spent most of the night backing into Phoenix for transfer to the Santa Fe tracks. They were the Golden State the Apache. Two freight here and trains were stalled between ol and | menced MAN WITH BROOM ATTACKS BANDITS Halts One Armed-Robber and Leads to Capture of Three Co.mpanions. With a braom his only weapon, J. Fred Imirle, Montgomery County build- ing inspector and chief of the Bethesda Fire Department, set on four armed bandits who held up the Bethesda Pharmacy last night. In the fight one of the youthful hold- up men was cut off from the waiting automobile, while his companions fled with $70. He was captured by police and the arrest of the other three fol- lowed. The police say all four admitted their guilt. Hearing the command of cne of the robbers to Dr. Charles Scherer, man- ager of the drug store, to “throw up your hands,” Imirie seized the broom with which he had been sweeping the floor of his wife's restaurant next door, ran to the store and set on the ban- dits as they emerged. Both police and Dr. Scherer said to- day that the robbers would liave made a clean getaway but for Imirie's inter- ference. ‘Those Under Arrest. Those unfler arrest are Willie E. ‘Wiggs, 20 years old, 3200 block of N street; ulilm lerson Steelman, 20, 1200 block of th street; Charles Edward Atkins, 25, 4400 block of Con- duit road, and Jimmett O'Brien, 18, 3200 block of W streef ‘Wiggs is b held in the substation at Bethesda, while Steelman is in a cell at the second precinct, O'Brien at the third .precinct and Adkins at the sixth _precinct.
