(Continued Prom First Page) administration of these co-operative organizations.” The committee formulated a series of “general principles” which it believes “could be applied as a corrective to| oertain governmental competitive ac- tivities already existing, as well as to those which, in the absence of some definitely announced public _policy, might develop in the future.” The principles follow: “1. Entrance of the Government into commercial and industrial undertek- ings, backed by public credit and re- sources and its miilitary and civilian personnel, for the purpose of com- peting with the business establishments and the opportunities of livelihood of its citizens, is in general repugnance to our fundamental democratic institu- tiond end sspirations. Our people, if they so clect, might decide to own and operate their own utilities, or might deelare any branch of indusiry cr busi- meéss to be affected with a public in- terest, and thrcugh proper legal meas- ! ures might acquire end operate such eccnomic institutions. Even treme action, however, uncer our Con- stitution, would heve to b2 carried out without sny confiscetion or impairment of private property or properiy rights, bul no constituticnal authority exists whatsoever which would permit the Government deliberately to engage in in eny form which comp:tes 7ith and impairs the private business of its citizens, exwept for reasons o eccnomy or fiscal and military ex- pedicney. “2 From these fundamental consid- erations it clearly follows that the Government, with the exceptions noted, should "procure the commodities and facilities of all kinds which it requires for its use from the commercial and industrial world. Terms of Actual Costs. “3,In the event of the continuance of governmental competition, a Gov- nt department or public agency :{n‘;fi‘\f} nobpabe permitted to compete with any private business except upon terms of actual costs.

Manufacturing_activities of arsenals and navy yards should be studied under a cost-accounting system to determine it private industry could do the same work cheaper, it was asserted. Military stores, post exchanges and eommissaries are unnecessary; except at isolated stations, the committee said, and movie shows on military reserva- tions should be closed to the public. Abandonment of Government uni- form and saddle plants at Philadelphia, Brodklyn and Jeffersonville, Ind., was recommended. Much river and harbor construction work can be done by pri- wate contract more economically, the committee believes. Army and Navy laundries and clean- and dyeing establishments should be restricted to “actual service require- ments” and should never interfere with private business, the House was told. Prison industries should emphasize training for prisoners rather than mass production of products, the report said. o ROOSEVELT, GARNER FORMALLY DECLARED ELECTION WINNERS (Continued From First Page.) the Senate by virtue of his election to the vice presidency. The joint session met at 1 p.m. The Senate, headed by the Vice President, marched in a body from its chamber through the Capitol to the House of Representatives.

He opened it with a paper cut- ter and handed the envelope to Repre- sentative Jeffers, Democrat, of Ala- bama, one of the tellers. Jeffers read the report, stating 11 vetes had been cast for Roosevelt and Gerner, and that the “certificate seems to b> regular in form and authentic.” The Democrats applauded. ~Curtis ded for order and the entire as- lage laughed.

David S. Barry, discharged sergeant at arms of the Senate, today defended the article in a current magazine which was tHe basis of his dismissal in a statement to mnewspapers and news- reel cameramen, declaring he was in- tending to “defend the integrity of the Congress as a whole against a wide- spread belief of the prevalence of cor- ruption in Washington.” Standing befcre a batlery of sound motion picture machines in the little garden in the rear of his home at 1816 Jefferson place, the veteran Senate employe delivered the short statement without referring to his notes, but hold- ing the copy of the statement in line with the camera lense: His statement follow “To make my motive entirely clear, my article was written to defend the integrity of Congress as a whole against a widespread belief in the prevalence of corruption in Washington. In doing this I referred to the isolated individual instances of grafting to which Senators have often referred and which his- torically are undeniable. “‘Apparently- such criticism is intoler- able, to certain Senators, but I feel that I have justifiably and reasonably rep- resented the situation. The people should have faith in the honesty of the Congress. “The danger lies in demagoguery. ‘The man who will serve you against his convictions will serve you falsely ir the ena.” PAYMENT FORLOSS ASKED BY CONSULS U.

ORAN, Algeria, February 8 (#).—Vic- tor Smith, 19-year-old South African aviator, who was seeking to break Mrs. Amy Johnscn Mollison's record for the England-South Africa flight, damaged his plane when landing here at 6:05 am. (2:05 am. Eastern standard time) today. Smith took off from Southampton, England, yesterday morning, in an at- tempt to beat Mrs. Mollison's record of 4 days 6 hours 54 minutes for the flight.

Four years ago, when the electoral votes of the States were counted in Jjoint session of the Congress, President Hoover and Vice President Curtis, it was shown, had received 444 electoral votes to 87 for Alfred E. Smith of New York and Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, their Democratic oppcnents. ‘When the last Democratic President, the late Woodrow Wilson, was first elected Chief Executive, in 1912, the canvass of the electoral vote in the fol- lowing February showed that he had 435 electoral votes to 8 for Taft, the Re- publican nominee, and 88 for Theodore velt, the Progressive candidate. i of the World War, President Wilson won Roose’ Four years later, however, on the verge | phen ing for reimbursement of American consular officers who suffered perscnal property locses due to such occurrences. The claims, totaling $13,703, originated in the State Department. __John A. Lehrs, vice consul in Moscow in August, 1918, when the American conculate general was evacuated to Stockholm, was the heaviest loser in the quick move made necessary when the city was taken over by the revolu- tionaries. Due to lack of transporta- tion and upset conditions generally, he left behind all his hcusehold and per- sonal effects, along with the office equipment, which later was converted to use by the Soviet Russians. Mr. Lehrs’ claim is for $4,016. Another sizable claim is that of Charles B. Curtis, who was Minister at Santo Domingo at the time of the hurricane in September, 1930, which destroyed 99 per cent of the Dominican capital. Mr, Curtis asked to be re- imbursed for $1,835, while members of the legation and the consulate staffs suffered losces fixed at $3,771. Other hurricane claims include that of William H. Hunt, consul at Nassau, in the Bahamas, in September, 1928, for $1,080, and Vice Consul Robert M. Ott at Belize, British Honduras, in Sep- :g’gxober, 1931, whose losses aggregated Harry D. Myers, vice consul in War- saw in 1920, when the Soviet revolu- tionary army was repulsed at the gates of the Polish capital, asks for $162 to cover theft and breakage among his personal effects which he shipped cut of the city as the Rus:ians approached. e TWO ONTARIO CONVICTS TO BE TRIED IN RIOT Inciting Charged as Result of Dis- orders Last October in Ports- mouth Penitentiary. By the Associated Press. KINGSTON, Ontario, February 8.— Two long-term convicts were committed for trial yesterday on charges of in- citing to riot in “connection with the Portsmouth Penitentiary disorders of last October. They are Willard Millich and J. Van- Tim Buck, former leader of the Com- munist party of Canada, was among the ringleaders of the riot. It was understood last night that nearly 400 prisoners in all will face trial, and the hearing may continue for sev- eral months. At the hearing today, Millich, conducting his own casc, at- tacked testimony of guards and officials, but was committed after they had de- clared he ran amuck with butcher knives and threatened the lives of guards and prisoners he had locked in the penitentiary kitchen.

Logan Demands Fair Trial. Barry was not without his defenders. Senator Logan, Democrat, of Kentucky. challenged the Senate, argued that the man had not been given a fair trial. “Down in my State we would call this mob law,” he said. Senator Dickinson, Republican, of Towa, compared the Senate's action to a fox hunt, with scores of men, horses and dogs after “one little fox.” The roll call on the motion to re- move Barry follows: ulkley, Byrnes, Caraway, Clark, Connally, Cool- idge. Costigan, Dill, Fletcher, George, Gore, Harricon, Hayden, Hull, Kej drick, Lewis, McGill, McKellar, Neely, Pittman, Reynolds, Robinson of Ar- kancas, Sheppard, Smith, Trammell, ‘Wagner, Walsh of Massachusetts, Walsh of Montana and Wheeler.

Paired or ‘announced against were Hatfleld, Oddie and Robinson, Indiana, Republicans, Debate Is Tempestuous. Those supporting the dismissal said if Barry were not removed the country would believe his assertion was true. Bitter statements sh in high- pitched voices intermingled with sharp irony and soft humor during the tem- pestuous debate preceding the vote. Several times the crowded galleries were warned they must be silent, and twice the Senators themselves were called to order for infractions of par- liamentary rules. The dapper little man about whom all the fuss centered waited quictly at his home for the verdlcte,d,lready suspended after the drama-filled trial last Friday tin_which he played the leading role. He insisted throughout, up to the final hearing, earlier yesterday, that he had been attempting to defend the Senate from a general belief in.con- gressional corruption, although he ac- knowledged he had no proof of his accusation. Despite Barrys dismissal, the ramifi- cations of the spectacular case fore- | shadowed possible further congressional action. Patman Demands Probe. Representative Patman, Democrat, of Texas, yesterday introduced a resolution for an investigation by & joint commit- tee of Barry's statements as well as other charges of congressional bribery and lobbying. ‘When Chairman Norris of the Judici- ary Committee submitted the favorable Teport on the removal resolution late yesterday it looked for a moment as thought the Senate would vote without debate. The galleries, which had been crowd- ed for an hour, and the floor, jammed with House members, thought it was all over as the vote was put and a chorus of “ayes” echoed. But before the vote was completed, heavy-set, round-faced Senator Logan arose and challenged the Senate'’s right to dismiss the veteran official. Senator Glenn, Republican, of Iil nois, compared Barry's statement wi “baseless attacks” he said were made on responsible men from the Senate floor under the congressional cloak of im- munity, and asserted witnesses before Senate committees were ‘“browbeaten bused.” m%‘h: Tilinois Senator pointed out that former Gov. Smith was_editor of the magazine and argued he should be called rather than throw the entire blame on the “poor, old” Senate official. Procedure Called Disgrace. X Sengtor Bingham, Republican, o Com:? ticut, characterized the Senate'’s procedure as “a disgrace to the Senate, ‘while Senator Dale, Republican, of Ver- mont, said it was “positively ridicu- lous.” They referred particularly to the Senate trial of Barry, at which Bingham said the sergeant at arms was confused by “some of the ablest lawyers of the land.” Ridiculing suggestions that Barry be reprimanded instead of dismissed, Sen- ator Connally, Democrat, of Texas, said before he would do that he would “vote to give him a bouquet for lflf_el\n[ the Senate by his own admission. Senator Gore, Democrat, Oklahoma, warned against breaking “the crystal on his watch.” Connally asserted that a Senator in the same position as Barry would be suspended quickly. “If we don’t dismiss him,” Connally said, “the country will say ‘that old fel- w Barry told the truth up there and hose white-livered Senators were afraid to fire him.’” ‘Tempers rose as the debate dragged out, and Norris drew a warning from the presiding officer, Senator Moses, Re- publican, of New Hampshire, when he suggested Senator Dickinson offer some plan “which shows he has a mind of his own.” Norris and Glenn Clash. A few minutes later Moses had to rap for several minutes to restore order as Norris and Glenn walked toward each other, both shouting excitedly and at the same time. Glenn contended Barry's reference to demagogues in Congress had aroused the Senate more than anything else, to over the tumult: “The more I listen to the Senator from Illinois, the more I wonder if it isn’t the truth.” Moses ordered both Senators to take their chairs, but then permitted Norris to_continue. Glenn had said Al Smith should be called before a committee rather than centering all the blame on Barry. Norris offered to set up a committee, with Glenn as chairman, to investigate the case and call Smith or any one Is.émmr Black, Democrat, Alabama, Senators from Indiana and Iowa defend Norris agreed they would not. Glenn Motion Defeated. Glenn finally brought the issue to a climax by proposing a substitute to cen- 1sure Barry, but restore him to duty, in- ;f:l‘do oltsdl.smlad.ng him. It was beaten, A proposal by Dickinson to send the whole case to the Rules Committee for determination was rejected by an even greater majority, 58 to 10. The ouster resolution, less than 20 words in length, follows: “Resolved, That David S. Barry be, and is hereby, removed as sergeant at arms and doorkeeper of the Senate.” A motion to lessen Barry’s punish- ment by permitting him to resign had been rejected by the Judiciary Commit- ASSENTEOFFCE Fiery Debate on Fairness of suggested a “tap on the wrist,” but | which Norrise could be heard asserting At the hearing Barry had his final say and retired, still insisting that he had intended by his article to combat what he contended was a general pub- lic timpreuion that Congress is cor- rupt. Members of the committee challenged Barry's claim of yesterday that Sena- tors had made more serious charges {than he did. He had cited a letter from Senator Nye, Republican. North Dakota, to the late Senator Caraway, | Democrat, Arkansas, mentioning reports | of payments of money to Senator Davis, | Republican, Pennsylvania. Senator Walsh of Montana pointed out he was member of the Lobby Committee which investigated the re- port and asserted the investigators had found “there was no foundation whatso- ever for the charge.” | «+ EDITOR REGRETS DISMISSAL. | | Gratified, However, That Article “Turn- | ed ‘Searchlight on Congress.” NEW YORK, February 8 (#)—Fran- | cis Walton, managing editor of New | Outlook, said last night he regretted | that David S. Barry had been dis- missed as sergeant at arms of the United | States Senate, but that ‘t is gratifying” | that Barry's remarks, appearing in the New Outlook, “could so effectively turn ! a searchlight upon the shadier activities | of Congress.” ‘Walton, in formal statement, said the Senate's action today, dismissing Barry, “has not shaken our confidencs in Mr. Barry and the New Outlook will | fi“{g further articles on the Senate vities.” Paragraph Was Changed. Discussing the first paragraph of Barry's article, the basis for the Sen- ate’s action, Walton said the magazine editors moved this paragraph up from a lower position in the article “for the sole editorial purpose of making it clear at once to the readers * * * that the intent of this particular artitle was not to discuss again the popular viewpoint of crookedness rampant in the houses of our lawmakers, but #4hat the intent | was to deal with the newer and equally serious situation of the rising tide of gm-goguery on the hill in Washing- ‘The paragraph referred to read as lnlloC‘n:‘ & “Contrary, perhaps, to the ular belief, there are not many cro'g& in Congress, that is, out-and-out grafters, or those who are willing to be such; there are not many Senators or Repre- sentatives who sell their votes for money, and it is pretty well known who those few are.” “The making of this manuscript change,” said Walton, “for this editorial purpose, and with the use of the mild indirect language of Mr. Barry, ‘there are not many Senators or Representa- tives who sell their vote for money,' could involve no hesitancy or second thought in a journalistically trained mind capable of recalling the more than vague rumors of the $5,000 bribe alleged to have been paid in the attempted defeat of the McFadden banking bill and the tawdry little affair of the deal surrounding the making of the sugar tariff of 1929. Result is Gratifying. “It is gratifying, in view of the aims of our publication, that the innocently intended remark of Mr. Barry could so effectively turn a searchlight upon the shadier activities of Congress; and if the using of this attention does no more than bring out the apparently serfous charges in the Dahlberg deal against certain Senators, which some hoped would die in the Lobby gommit- tee, perhaps even the time of ¥he Sen- ators—the paid representatives of the American people—will not have been altogether wasted by the amusing floor | show of PFriday, February 3, 1933, when these modern Neros began fiddling while our Rome burns.” It was stated at the magazine offices that neither Alfred E. Smith, editor in thief, nor Frank A. Tichenor, publisher, would have any statement to make. ‘“‘We are not surprised,” sald Walton, “at the action of the United States Senate now convened in Washington for the purpose of dealing with such press- ing problems as that of finding ways and means of reducing a Federal deficit of nearly one billion dollars, of taking action for the relief of our stricken farm populace and the care of country’s millions of unemployed, in summarily removing from Government office an employe of 14 years' service and an American citizen because he has presumed to criticize the conduct of certain members of the legislative branch of the Federal Government. “Such action is entirely consistent with the record of a body whose greatest contribution of service to its country is in giving away of the Philippines.” FOUNDER OF VIRGINIA NEWSPAPER DIES AT 74 James H. Lindsay Was Owner and Editor of Charlottesville Progress. By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., February 8.—James H. Lindsay, 70, owner and editor of the Charlottesville Daily Prog- ress, and a veteran newspaper man and educator, died at his Winter home in Orlando, Fla., yesterday. Mr. Lindsay, who founded the Daily | Progress 40 years ago, had worked pre- viously 25 a newspaper man in North Carolina. At the age of 15 he was an instructor in the Staunton grammer schools and later was an instructor in the Virginia School for Deaf and Blind at Staunton, on whose board he served for 20 years. He also was a member of the constitutional convention of 1901- 02. Death followed complications from a recent influenza attack. —— BARTER IN ABEYANCE OTTAWA, Ontario, February 8 (#).— Hugh Guthrie, minister of justice, told the House of Commons yesterday that the government has received no addi- tional offer from a Winnipeg syndicate concerning the barter of 100,000 Cana- dian cattle for Russian coal and oil. It was reveiled last week that the deal has been held in abeyance by re- fusal of the Canadian government to guarantee $4,000,000 in credits. o LR, Screen Actor Improving.
