The report that Gen. Toranzo was aboard the ship proved erroneous Last night Uruguay recalled its Am- bassador at Buenos Aires and invited the Argentine Ambassador to leave Montevideo.

KANSAS TOWN SEEKS TO ABOLISH ALL MUNICIPAL LEVIES BY 1934 Public Ownership of Utilities Makes Possible Tax Slash to 7V, Mills for 1933—Only $250,000 Debts Remain. By the Associated Press. IOLA, Kans, July 14—Tola citizens look forward with confidence to a mu- nicipally tax-free city in 1934 If that goal is reached, Iola will join Chanute and Colby, Kans,, in functicn- ing without the necessity of city taxes. Iola's recently determined 7!:-miil tax levy for 1933, the lowest in 73 years, will yield less than one-third of the total money necessary for expenditures. The remainder will be taken from a sur- plus created by earnings of municipally owned gas, water and electric utilities. City officials estimate that by 1934 the profits cf these utilities will amortize Iola’s remaining indebtedness of $250. 000, making a city tax levy unnecessary in that year. Mayor Harmon Hobart points out that this has been accomplished with water and electricity rates remaining at the 19830 level and with gas rates being low- ered from 75 to 65 cents for the first 1,000 cubic feet. The water rate is from 2§ to 25 cents | | | | | | per 100 cubic feet on a sliding scale and fo electricity residents pay 6 cents per kilowatt hour.

SENATE REQUESTS = RF. .S RECORDS Probe of Loans Undertaken by Special Committee Head- ed by Couzens. v into every loan that has been made by the Reconstruction Pi- nance Corporation was undertaken to- day by a special Senate committee with a demand for the relief organiza- tion's records. High up in the committee’s program was the design to scan the $80.000,000 that went to the Central Republic Bank & Trust Co. of Chicago, of which Charles G. Dawes, former head of the corporation, is chairman. That loan has been cited in Congress as the largest to any bank, some voicing suggestions of favoritism. Couzens Asks Report. The request for a detailed report of loans was embodied in a letter from Chairman Couzens of the special com- mittee to Eugene Meyer, head of the board. “1 am authorized by the committee to ask you to furnish us as quickly as possible a complete list of all loans, the date of maturil th: rate of interest and the security placed since the or-| ganization of the corporation,” Couzens wrote. The Michigan Senator told newspaper men it probably would take the corpo- ration several days to compile the in- formation, but that the inquiry would go ahead eas speedily as possible. Couzens added no experts would be hired, committee members doing the in- vestigating work themselves. Findings to Be Secret. Details of all the loans will mot be made public thorized to report waatever it fecls should be called to the attention of the Senate Determination to study the loan to the Dawes bank was indicated by Couzens in asking the Senate to ap- | prove his resolution for the inquiry. He called attention to the discussion of the loan and said “There is, in my judgment, consider- able unrest in respect to the type of loans and the security that is being put up for the loans eggregating $1,000.000.- 000 already made by the Reconstruction | Finance Corporation. “In view of the circumstances, it oc- curred to me that a Senate committee might examine the records and sce whether the loans were being made in accordance with the law and that they were adequately secured.” The loan was criticized in the House vesterday by Representative Democrat, of Illinois, who said the cor- poration “could have saved a number of small banks in Chicago and declined to act.” THIRTEENTH OPERATION FATAL TO POLICEMAN| | By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 14 —Jack Kennedy of the Nassau County police, who sub- mitted to 13 operatiors to fight off paralysis which resulted from a bullet | wound he received in 1928, has lost his_long fight for life On April 29, when he went to the operating table for the thirteenth time. doctors warned him he had a 1,000 to 1 chance for recovery.

For a time it appeared agreement on the few differences between the House | and Senate plans might bs obtained last I night, but long Senate delay in ap- pointing its conferees put the confer- | ence off until today. Curtis Names Conferees. Conferees were appointed as follows by Vice President Curtis: Norbeck, Re- | publican, of South Dakota: Brockhart, { Republican, of Iowa: Goldsborough, Re- | publican, of Maryland: Wagner, Demo- crat, of New York, and Glass, Demo~ crat, of Virginia. The House members are Representa- tives Collier, Democrat of Mississippi Crisp, Democrat of Georgia; Rainey, Democrat of Illinois; Treadway, Repub- Jican of Massachusetts, and Hawley, Republican of Oregon. The Senate delay came on objections to appointing conferees until the House had put the home loan bank bill, last of the administration reconstruction program measures, into conference. When an attempt by the House to do this failed, and on a plea by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, the Senate named its conference members. Soon after that House ob- Jjections to the other conference were withdrawn and both bills thus found themselves in conference committees. The Senate had sought to amend the relief bill once again and actually adopted a clause to add 200,000 men to the mulitary services, but this action was reversed when Robinson pleaded against further delays. Vote Follows Amendment. ‘Thirty-five Democrats and 11 Re- publicans voted against the bill on final passage in the House. The vote came after the Democrats forced into the measure the amendment compelling the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to make public all loans in its monthly reports to Congress. At the suggestion of Speaker Garner, who said it waé planned to adjourn Congress tonight, the House then unani- mously substituted its bill for the Sen- ate measure. During the 40 minutes of debate on the bill one after another of the Democratic members condemned it as inadequate, but all that could be had. “The best we can get,” Representative Cochran of Missouri termed it. Dough- |ton of North Carolina said: “The re- sponsibility rests on the White House.” Republican spokesmen hailed the bill as agreeable to the Chief Executive. .
