A. Dewar's Cameronian, 7-to-2 choice, scored over 25 other 3- “year-olds in the 148th renewal of the alassic here today. Sir Jonn Rutherford’s Orpen, co-sec- ond -choice, finished second in front of Lord Rosenbery's Sandwich, with Mar- cel Boussac's Goyescas fourth. Jacopo, the Aga Khan's Fomme D'Api, and Sir Edward Hammer’s Gallain ran practi- cal-ly in line for fifth place. B Time Is 2:36.6. Cameronian was clocked in the good time of 2:36 3-5 for the grueling mile- and-~ane-half up-and-down hill journey. With Freddy Fox in the pilot seat, the Dewar colt kept close to the pace throughout the journey and once he started running in the stretch he was ziot, to be beaten. -Although Fox topped the list of win- ing jockeys last vear, it was the first Jme ‘e haa ever ridden a Derby winner. “A crowd variously estimated from 150,000 to 1,000,000, including King George and the royal family, saw_the race which was worth about £15.000 added ($60.000) to the winner, while twenty millions of dollars were dis- tributed through the Irish Swecpstakes and smaller sweeps.

DET SEEN Increase to $950,000,000 in| Treasury Deficit Also Seen on July 1. | | | By the Assoctated Press The administration expects the na- tional debt to be increased by $500,000.- 000 and the Treasury deficit to total $950,000,000 at the close of the fiscal | Dis year June 30 | The condition of the Government's| finances was attributed in & White| House statement yesterday to the busi- | ness depression. A decline in Treasury | receipts from taxes and customs was causer, it was said, by the economic sit- | uation. On the other hand, it added, | unusual expenditures for construction | work, agricultural relief and veterans'| services amounting to more than half & | bilion in excess of those of the last fiscal year placed an unusual drain| on the Treasury. i The announcement was made after | President Hoover conferred with the cabinet. During the conference Secre- tary Hyde informed the Chief Executive the Agriculture Department would save $11,000,000 this fiscal year and $20.- 000.000 next year, largely from unused relief funds. Will Discuss Naval Plans. At the same time Mr. Hoover in- vited Secretary Adams and High naval officials to his camp at Rapidan, Va., to discuss, over the week end, ways of cut- ting costs of the naval establishment. However, naval officials have pointed out that already appropriations for the coming fiscal year are less than those of this year, while the five-year aviation expansion program remains uncomplet- ed and the Navy has not built up to the London Arms Conference limitation. In his cempaign to curtail Govern- ment expenses President Hoover already has laid plans to reduce operating out- lays for the War, Postal and Interior Departments. At the White House, it was said, his study last Summer resulted n reductions in expeditures totaling $180,000,000. ‘The White House statement said: “In reply to inquiries from the press ths following information in round numbers has been furnished by the di- rector of the budget as to the economies made during the past year and the prob- able fiscal situation upon July 1. $500,000,000 Increase. “Present indications are that the financial transactions of the Govern- ment for the fiscal ysar ending June 30, 1931, will show an increase of about $500,000,000 in the national debt. The deficit is from about $800,000,000 to $950,000,000 of which about $440,000,000 will be due to the statutory redemption of th> debt. “The deficit is principally due to a falling off in receipts of the Treasury, from taxes and other sources, caused by the depression which will apparently be about $840,000,000 below the fiscal year ended June 30,1930. Added to this is the additional burden of about $50,- 000,000 fall in postal receipts. “There have also been large increases in expenditures for construction work and agricultural relief and for veterans’ services amounting to about $540,000,000 above that of the last fiscal year. “These figures alone—a reduction of $90,000,000 in receipts and an increase of nearly $540,000,000 in expenditures in the above items—would indicate that | the Gavernment would be over $1,430,- 000,000 worse off this year than last. $900,000,000 Deficit. “However, deferment and reductions in expenditures in other parts of the Government, largely due to the economy drive last Summer, amount to about $180,000,000. During the fiscal year ended last June, the debt was reduced by $305,000,000 in excess of statutory amount, while this year it was held to the legal requirem-nts. These two sums make a difference in the situation of about $485,000,000 and result in a final deficit of about $900,000,000 or $950,- 000,000, about $440,000,000 will be ex- pended in the statutory redemption of the public debt so that the net increase in the debt for the fiscal year will prob- ably be about $500,000,000. “The administration of veterans af- fairs reports that the loans so far made upon bonus certificates now total $1,- 098,947,000 to 1.971966 individuals of which $284,481,000 has been furnished from insurance and other funds, about $60,000,000 from the banks, and $754,- 4‘55.000 from sale of Treasury obliga- tions, Heads Psychiatrists.

Luhring of the trict Supr-me Court nearly two weeks ago at the request of Attorney Mabel Walker Willebrandt, representing five holders of second mortgage bonds on the building. ‘The court, however, remanded the £ase to the lower court for further pro- ccedings after due notice to the hotel company and the other defendants.

Court Rules Waived. The decision of the Appellate Court, which heard the appeal yesterday after counsel had waived all the rules of court for delaying the hearing, reads: “The court finds and holds that the order of the lower court appointing re- celvers in this cause without notice to the defendants below was improvi- dently granted and the order is re- versed with costs; and this cause is re- manded for such further proceedings to be had upon due notice to the defend- ants, with opportunity for them to plead and be heard therein as the lower court may find proper.

HARTMAN LETTERS | “SENT" T0 HOOVER Hansel Says He Turned Over Correspondence to Block Reappointment. Charles Hansel, public utilities con- sulting engineer, disclosed in New York today that the correspondence he ex- cnanged nearly six years ago with Harleigh H. Hartman, vice chairman of the Public Utllities Commission, and which has been published by the Wash- ington Daily News, was given to a “friend” to take to President Hoover in an effort to block Mr. Hartman's 1eappointment to the commission. He declined to name the “friend.” In & l%duunee telephone con- versation with a representative of The Star, Mr. aware that the published, and did not know who had given it out for publication. He de- clared he intende ment to the Public Utllities , Hartman's first term expires | Were Once Friendly. Mr. Hansel and Mr. Hartman were on friendly terms back in 1925, at the time of the correspondence, and as far as Mr. Hartman knew, he said that friendship continued to exist. He said he did not know why Mr. Hansel should want to prevent his reappointment to the commission. Reminded of that friendship back in 1925 when he engaged Mr. Hartman to work up raflroad track laying and sur- facing data, and asked why it was broken, Mr. Hansel replied: “That's my business. That was back in 1925 when Mr. Hartman was work- ing for me. He gave up that job and got another one.” Mr. Hartman has maintained that the disclosure of the correspondence was on the part of those who had a reason to block his appointment. Up to yesterday afternoon the White House reported that no communication regard- ing the Hartman correspondence had been received. Showed Double Employment. The correspondence related to Hart- man's employment as a consultant by Hansel, who at that time was represent- ing Eastern railroads before the Inter- state Commerce Commission. Hartman had resigned from the legal staff of the commission, but had been retained as special counsel to argue and brief the Great Northern Railroad valuation sase—a case with which ‘he was inti- mately familiar. Arrangements Shown. ‘The correspondence shows the ar- rangements Hartman made to submit in advance to Hansel the argument he was to make defending the case of the Bureau of Valuation of the commission and the financial arrangments between himself and Hansel. The correspondence began March 5, 1925, when Hartman formally notified Hansel that he was resigning from the Interstate Commerce Commission and would open private offices. He asked Hansel to direct business to him. if cecasion arose, and inclosed a copy of his resignation, which was to become effective April 1, 1925. Retainer and Fee Named. Replying under date of March ¢, Hansel asked Hartman to nam= a fee for his personal services for the period of one year from April 1 in dealing with the question of railroad track lay- ing and surfacing. Hartman replied that he wanted a retainer of $2,500 and a fee of $7.500, payable in one year in equal quarterly amcunts. On March 9 Hansel sent Hartman a check for Sreat Northern case, one of the important valuation cases handled by the Interstate Commerce Commission, then entered into the correspondence. ‘The commission paid Hartman $1,000 for his brief and argument in this case, which he prepared after he had re- signed. Hartman Criticized. Hartman did not argue the case until late in the Fall of 1925 and Hansel, after reading a copy of his brief, wrote to him under date of September 4, pointing out that his conclusions were not in line with the ‘“‘understanding™ he had with him before their arrange- ment. Hansel declared that he under- stood Hartman had stated to Dr. Charles W. Needham, general solicitor of the Bureau of Valuation, that the testimony in the Great Northern case in respect to track laying and surfacing was “insufficient” on the part of both the bureau and the carrier to warrant conclusions by the commission. “But as I read your report,” Hansel said, “you definitely find the case against the protestant,” which was the railroad. Mr. Hansel questioned Mr. Hartman's statement that “As the record now stands the carrier has failed to prove that there is any necessity for change in_the valuation figures.” In his reply, Mr. Hartman said: “I gave this point considerable thought, to put it in full accord with my statement to you and allay any suspicion of insincerity that the com- missioners have on account of knowing of my employment in connection with account 12, and felt sure both had been accomplished. I will make my position plain on a ent and suggest that you go over part in advance.” “I tried to work in the idea that the bureau's case was insufficient, but it appeared so out of place in a brief in support of the tentative valuation, after a statement that the carrier had not proved its case, that it would have caused distrust show up this point. I will use it in argument if aked my personal views, or if you can suggest a way to avoid the question, ‘why don't he keep still in public where the bureau's case is weak,’ “Your understanding of my state- ments to Dr. Needham is correct, and 1 will back them up in any way. I am not ‘attempting to ‘back down,' ‘hunt! cover’ or ‘double cross’ and have put the case in the way I thought it would produce best results.” ‘Wrote Answer. ‘The following day, September 6, Hartman wrote another letter to Han- sel saying: “In reading over my letter of yesterday to you it might sound as if I were willing to slight the bureau's case in the coming arguments. Of course, I could not honorably do this, and I am certain you would not want me to. I must defend the bureau to the best of my ability, just as I am conscientiously carrying out my agree- ment with you.” After the case had been argued Mr. Hartman wrotz to Mr. Hansel, under date of October 27: “In the Great Northern argument I used practically the information I sent to you, stress! conferences and defense of the bureau's case—in fact, Ir {:‘eneve 1 made almost no defense of 1" In support of this statement, Mr. Hartman points out that the Great Northern case was probably more stren- uously prosecuted on brief and argu- ment than any other valuation case ever tried before the Interstate Com- merce Commissicn. As a result the commission decided against the rail- road. Mr. Hartman also insists that his dual employment as private counselor to the commission and consultant to Mr. Hansel did not cause him to slight either client. Moreover, he declared, knew of his W arrange- ment with Mr. Hansel while he was handling the Great Northern case, .

This is the fourth of a series of nine articles on the which was written after several weeks of in- vestigation in England. Disadvan- tages and benefits are given in an unprejudiced discussion. BY CYRIL ARTHUR PLAYER. By Cable to The Sta: LONDON, June 3.—Between No- vember, 1920, and December, 1922, the fine in the unemployment fund dwindled from more than $100,000,000 t0 $5,000,000. The retreat had begun. ‘The unemployment scheme of Greal Britain abandoned its principles, one of which was that a man could receive only one week's benefit for every five (later six) weeks’ contributio: of this Sir William Beveridge remarked: “The main principle underlying limif tion of benefit was that, though a weekly allowance given as of right without conditions was a suitable means of dealing with temporary unemploy- ment—of tiding over a bad time men who needed nothing more than tiding over till in the normal course they ‘would recover work in their own trades at their former wages—it was not an a) te measure for chronic ‘employment. “It was recognized, of course, that limitation of the period of benefit meant that men might exhaust their rights to ployment. It was never meant to do 50. In November, 1920, the government (Bonar Law, Conservative) took the plunge and extended the insurance scheme to all manual and non-manusl workers earning not more than $1,250 a year. The workers excluded from this act were those in agriculture, domestic service and civil service. and those en. permanently by municipal au- orities. Reason Unexplained. An actuarial scheme d ied for workers in certain limited specific occu- pations was not extended to in all sorts and conditions of employment, including several which were of normal- ly intermittent occupation. ‘The reason for this unscientific pro- cedure has never been explained to the writer. However, the new act was passed, and from this act and its be- wildering amendments and extensions can be traced the less attractive results of the system. “The first step in the disintegration of the insurance system.” said Sir Wil- llam Beveridge to the writer, “was taken when. in 1920, the system introduced in 1911 for a few selected trades was applied practically without change to trades, no use being made of the power to exclude from the general scheme casual occupations. like dock labor or short-iime industries, such as cotton and coal, and deal with them by special schemes. “The second and decisive step was taken when by the act of 1927 benefit was made unlimited in duration and, for a ‘transitional’ period, nearly in- dependent of any payment of contri- butions. The transitional provisions were extended by an act of 1929. The act of 1930 has simply carried to its the leading regiment of midshipmen immediately after presenting the |final stage the process of merging insur- colors to Midshipman Norman Hall, also of Syracuse.

In addition to the fact that a President has all the better of the fight for nomination to succeed himself because of his great power, they point out that the Republican members of Con who have sup- gress ported the administration will find it | sho necessary to go along with Mr. Hoover and to defend his administration, since they themselves are seeking re-election. A break with the administration would scarcely aid them to re-election, and might seriously peril their chances. In view of all these factors, it was the consensus of opinion here today among anti-Hoover Republicans that the President will be nominated unless he should voluntarily take himself out of the race, a course which no one now expects. Opposition Belittled. So far as the regular Republicans, ‘| supporters of Mr. Hoover, are concern- | 1 they were inclined to belittle the talk of serious o) tion from Gov. Pinchot, Senator Norris or any of the other Progressives. Some of them in- sist the President will carry the yrul— dential preferential primaries in all the States, no matter whether Pinchot or Norris or Senator Hiram Johnson of California, should get into the race. The only real danger to the Hoover campaign for renomination seems to lie, it it does, in the ition’s winning victories in some of the primary States. The Hoover supporters will work hard to head off such victories. They real- ize the psychological effect would be decidedly injurious not only to the President’s chances for renomination, but also in the general election after he had been nominated, if he should lose the suj of own party in an appreciable number of these primary i Som MAYOR CURLEY TALKS HALF HOUR WITH KING Problems of Unemployment and Church-State Crisis Are Discussed. By the Associated Press. ROME, June 3.—King Victor Em- manuel received Mayor James Curley of Boston in a 30-minute audience today, discussing with him the problems of unemployment and relations o e yme between and state in Italy. Mr. Curley said later that the King was greatly interested in America and her problems, and showed himself thoroughly conversant with economic conditions there. Mayor Curley expressed his - tion for Italy’s action in halting the march of Communism and for the set- tlement of the Roman question two years ago. He said he believed the present religious difficulties would be settled at once. ‘The continuance of the impasse, the mayor said, might affect Italy’s tourist from $150,000,000 to $220,000,000 and might also hay o5 unfavorable eftect ‘on world public opinion. ““The xln& seemed quite in - ‘ment,” Mr. said. “I am -m from his manner that the matter is in the process of adjustment.” —— POPE’S CHAPLAIN DIES VATICAN CITY, June 3 (#)—Mgr.

In effect, what Sir William says means this: In the beginning. unemployment insurance was a contract, acceptable to any insurance authority; it then was widened so that the risk became doubt- ful, and finally was extended so that the scientific bases of risk-covering disap- peared altogether. Nation Sees Venture Through. Any ordinary insurance _company, under such a plan, would have gone bankrupt. The nation backed this en- terprise, and has seen it through, so far. But the books, kept scrupulously, v in an appalling red ink figure the extent of the benevolence of the na- tion. Less than one month after the act of 1920 the slump started. Look at the figures: Short Time Wholly Claiming Unemploved. Benefit. _Tot 1020 179 421012 1133 192 1776131 297.384 2,073, The new act had brought within the reach of unemployment insurance no fewer than 11,750,000 persons. The problem was acute. Thousands of workers through long periods of un- employment had drawn from the fund ] they were legitimately entitled to withdraw, and payment to them had eased. The government was com- pelled to face the issue of taking care of these men and women, so there was introduced what has become known as the “uncovenanted” benefit scheme (uncovenanted because it did not form part of the covenants of the unem- ployment insurance act proper), and it was, therefore, an act of grace on the part of the government in granting payment of extended benefits. Never once, since January, 1921, has the total of unemployed insured workers been less than in seven figures. The least percentage of unemgloym»nt was 8.6 per cent, and the highest 23. For the last six months of 1930 the total of unemployment was always above the 2,000,000 mark. Rates Raised and Extended. Yet with unemployment so high and the cost of living going down, the bene- fit rates have been both raised and extended. A man with a wife and three of a family, who received $1.75 a week in 1911, $3.75 in 1920, $5.75 in 1921, now receives $8. 150, today, he re- celves that benefit for every week of the year so long as he has paid eight weekly contributions in the last two years or 30 weekly contributions at any time, and even though each of the weekly contributions may represent only one day's work. It is this situation that is bank- rupting the finances, and has placed gainst the unemployment fund proper —the fund built up solidily by con- tributions from worker, employer and tate—a mammoth debt whose repay- ment is wholly conjectural. Now is to be told the labor govern- ment's official ‘;?fllbfll Pro Vita Sua™; the criticisms offered by party spokes- liberals and and workmen; the manner in which the unemployed live, as investigated first- hand in the worst areas for the pur- fl:‘f‘ of this series; the abuses, and lly, what seems to be the remedy. t, 1031, by North American News- — er Alliance, Inc.) e SOCIETY WOMAN SEEKS JOB ON POLICE FORCE By the Assoclated Press. n"m% I, _June 3.——“!;!., lanche M. er, Evanston sociel e'r:wnsom the police force, if she can.
