Proposed legislation to extend the| bankruptcy jurisdiction of the Federal | Government to municipalities and other political subdivisions of States was op- posed by a special committee which yes- terday submitted its report to the board of directors of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States. At the same time, the committee ‘backed other legislation in Congress pro- viding “the Federal bankruptcy laws be amended so as to extend to those classes of private corporations which are subject to benkruptcy jurisdiction such provision for corporate debt read- justment as will prevent undue obstruc- tion by minority interests, expedite set- tlements, reduce expenses of administra- tion, and, in general, promote the best interests of both debtors and creditors.” Robert V. Fleming, president of Riggs National Bank, headed the committee. Position of Committee. On the subject of local government bankruptcy legislation, the committee said: “No action should be taken that destroys or impairs the integrity of municipal obligations. “While recognizing the acute finan- cial situation facing a number of munic- ipalities, due in part to unusual condi- tions in business and in part to govern- mental extravagance, the committee, nevertheless, believes that under present conditions defaults can be averted with few exceptions by economy and ef- ciency in local governments, and it rec- ommends the retention of every proper incentive to decrease materially the present high rate of governmental ex- penditures. “That 1 to allow & munici- pality to obtain a moratorium, either under Federal or State laws, is unsoun in principle, would increase tax delin- quencies, encourage municipal defaults and should not be resorted to under any circumstances.” Favored by House Committee. On the contrary, utilizing of Federal bankruptcy courts as a way for dis- tressed municipalities to obtain debt . adjustments was favored yesterday be- fore the House Judiciary Committee by a number of witnesses representing huge holders of city bonds. Representative Wilcox, Democrat, of Florida, sponsor of a composition bill, said the National Fraternal Congress of America, whose members own more than $1,000,000,000 of municipal se- g‘x;m]:.n had telegraphed him favoring plan. Bruce D. Sheppard, actuary for the Association of Life Insurance Presi- dents, W own $500,000,- 000 of municipal ds, said the asso- ciation was not advocating any particu- lar tion, “but if Congress want 1o act, we prefer the Wilcox bill.” The Wilcox measure would permit, with the court’s approval and that of %5 per cent of the creditors, adjustment of municipal debts by cities unable to meet present charges Also pending before the committee was the McLeod bill to permit cities, through bankruptcy courts, to obtain a moratorium on debt payments. This measure has the support of Mayor Frank Murphy of Detroit, whose counsel. Edward A. Zimmerman, was present at the hearing.

ATESER {EQUAL RIGHTS DEMANDED IN WORLD COURT CODE | Nye Offers Reservation to Resolu- tion Now Before Senate Committee. By the Associated Press. A reservation to the World Court res- olution now before the Senate Foreign Rélations Committee was introduced yesterday by Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota, calling for equal rights for men and women under the d | code of law to be administered by the court. Nye said he was offering the reserva- tion “because of the widespread dissat- isfaction that exists among women in all parts of our country regarding ad- herence to the court.” “Their uneasiness-® because the League < Nations has be- gun work upon 3 €de of law to be administered by ~fe court, and this code opens with #be kind of law for men and anothet kind for women. In view of * this ‘situation, I belleve we should not go headlong into the court without safeguarding the great princi- ple of equality for men and women be- fore the law.” said, “arises S Texas Has Big Pecan Crop.
