LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 13— Answering bondholder-critics who charge Arkansas’ refunding policy was virtually repudiation, Gov. Futrell lodfly! asserted it was his aim to scale down only the interest rates fixed at a time when money was cheap, without reduc- of the principal of the $146,- f road bonds indebtedness. a lengthy statement, Gov. Futrell d the history of Arkansas’ high- policy since 1927, when it set out way and toll bridge after _assuming ict indebtedness | to 192 He placed the present total indebted- ness of the State at $250,000,000 or more than half the 1 assessed valuation of | $471,469.866. Of the total, $146,000,000 nted road bonds which the 1933 | ature sought to refund with bonds | bearing 3 per cent interest. The average | rate of interest for the bonds sought to be refunded is 43, per cent. The people of the State and the pre- vious highway administration, on the one hand, and bond buyers on the other, were blamed by Gov. Futrell for the plight in which the State now finds it- self. “The dance of the dollar,” his state- ment said, “attuned to the jazz of waste, extravagance, and mismanagement, con- | tinued (from 1927) until values began to shrink. B buyers, representing the profit-taking brokers, bought as! improvidently as Arkansas sold. The zest for investment and the promise of big interest served to intoxicate our non-resident friends, whose better judg- ment should have told them that danger lurked around the corner. * * * What the State now asks of her creditors is not that the principal in- debtedness be reduced, but that interest charges, fixed ‘at & time when money was cheap, be scaled down to a figure where the load will be bearable, to the end that there may be no_ further de-, faults, and that a sinking fund may be created with which to discharge the bonds at maturity.” SPECIAL NOTICES. i WILL NOT BE R debts ' contracted LIAM ¥ 1 WILL NOT BE RI tracted for RK.

ONSIBLE FOR DEBTS 0 formerly Measure in Geod Position as Senate Lacks Other Major Projects. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The Glass bank reform bill, which is still knockirg at the administration door to be made a definite part of the legislative program, moved forward yes- terday when the Senate Banking and Currency Committee ordered it favor- ably reported to the Senate. The report of the bank bill, carrying its insurance of deposits provision un- [ U changed, comes at a time when the Senate has no other major legislation on its calendar. It promises to give | this bill a strategic position. It is not| believed that the administration will | openly fight a bank reform bill, not- withstanding the fact that Secretary of the Treasury Woodin has been S;.lrorépl!jv opposed to some features of the bill. Seeks Immediate Operation. “Hoover” Dropped From Name of Dam By Order of Ickes “Boulder” Is Restored to Project. By the Associated Press. It's Boulder Dam from now on—the name “Hoover” having been entirely eliminated by officials here from the world’s largest water barrier in the Colorado River project. Secretary Ickes sent instructions yes- terday to the Bureau of Reclamation in charge of the $165,000,000 construction work, inaugurated under the Coolidge administration, that hereafter the big project is to be known by its original itle. The 730-foot dam when completed will form a solid structure of masonry | larger than the great pyramid Ghizeh in Egypt. It was christened Hoover Dam September, 1930, by Ray Lyman Wilbur, who was President Hoover's Secretary of the Interior. One reason that Wilbur gave for giv- ing the Hoover name to the dam, it was | explained at the time, was that the first historic meeting of Representatives | from seven Southwestern States of the Senator McAdoo of California made another attempt to have the insurance of deposits clause of the Glass bill | made immediately operative so far as| deposits up to $5,000 are concerned. By | a vote of 8 to 4, however, the Banking | Committee decided to retain the in- surance provision of the bill as it was written—making it effective one year from the date of the approval of the bill by the President. The House Banking and Currency Committee, headed by Representative Steagall of Alabama, gave consideration yesterdav to the Steagall bill and the Glass bill. The Stegall bill is similar to the Glass bill, but differs in the ap- plication of the insurance of deposits to State banks. Members of the com- mittee expressed the opinion after the | meeting that the bank reform bill might be readv for report to the House by the middle of the week. ‘The Glass bill contains provisions to compel national banks to cut off all connection with their so-called “af- filiates” at the end of a two-year pe- riod. It also would compel private banks of deposit to do a business strictly limited to banks of deposit or to become investment banks. This pro- vision will affect materially some of the great banking houses of this country and the world. among them J. P. Mor- gan & Co. The bill carries a pro- vision, too, which prohibits the pay- ment of interest by banks of deposit on checking accounts. And there are regulatory provisions designed to pre- vent the use of Federal Reserve re- sources for speculative purposes. Amended by Committee. How much of a fight will be made on the Glass bill remains to be seen. The bill was amended by the Banking Committee to give more protection to minority stockholders before it was or- dered reported favorably. It still car- ries a provision permitting national banks, with the approval of the con- troller of the currency, to establish new branch banks in city or town, or with- in the limits of a State if the State laws permit such branch banking. It was the branch banking provision of the bill that was singled out for at- tack in the Senate during the last ses- ssion of Congress. Senator Glass said yesterday that he would seek to get the bank reform bill up for consideration in the Senate at the earliest possible date. He added that he felt confident that the measure will be written into law at the present session. Democratic House leaders are still waiting to hear from the White House regarding the bank reform bill. However, they are showing no disposi- tion at this time to prevent a vote on the measure. Indeed, some of them are heartily in favor of the bank reform | measure, holding that it is necessary to restore confidence in the banks and to start business going again. HARM TO U, S. SEEN IN SILVER PAYMENTS Miners and Industry Would Be Victims in Debt Proposal, Says Robert J. Grant. By the Associated Press. DENVER, May 13—Robert J. Grant, who will leave Tuesday for Shanghai to advise the Chinese government in the operation of a new mint, said today acceptance of silver by the United States, as proposed in payment of for- cign cebts, would harm American miners and industry. A Denver mining engineer and di- rector of the United States Mint at Washington during the Harding, Cool- idge and Hoover administrations, Grant said in an interview, “Our Treasury al- ready has enough silver in storage to last us half & century.” “There is $500,000,000 in silver dollars, $75,000,000 in smaller coics and more than $30.000,600 worth of silver bars,” 7 D MSCIr | Mo added. “If Europe pays America in silver, Europe will buy silver from China and pay for it in European goods.

VIENNA, May 13.—The first Ger- man dignitaries to visit Vienna since Adolt Hitler was made chancellor met & mixed reception today when they ar- rived at Aspern Airport from Berlin. The Austrian government sent a po- lice official to meet the plane carrying Prussian Minister of Justice Kerrl and Bavarian Minister of Justice Frank.

By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y, May 13.—Using & new and untried price-fixing power, the New York State Milk Control Board today ordered dealers to pay formers higher prices for milk purchased with- in 200 miles of New York City and largely consumed in the metropolitan area. Amid rumblings of strike threats by the farmers, the newly created board already had ‘pegged” the minimum prices at which milk and cream may be sold to the public. Until today, how- ever, the board had not invoked fits power to say what dealers shall pay farmers. The Milk Board was estab- lished last April. ‘Today's order, effective next Tues- day, said farmers must receive 4 cents a quart for milk with 3.5 per cent but- terfat content. average high grade delivered in bottles. Prices graded upward for rich- er milk and cream and downward for milk of poorer quality. cent class has been bringing the farmer less than 3 cents a quart. Takes in Half State. ‘The 200-mile zone, covered by the order, takes in virtually half of the Empire State and the larger part of the State’s dairying industry. The board later will fix farmer prices for the rest of the State. Today’s order, effective next Tuesday, means that most farmers will receive approximately 60 cents per 100 pounds more for their milk that is resold in bottles or bulk than they now receive. The milk sold in bottles or bulk di- rectly to the consumers constitutes 45 per cent of all the milk the New York dairy farmers produce, but unofficial es- the average price paid producers for all their milk from well below $1 per hun- dred pounds to $1.25 a hundred. Most farmers are paid a “blended” or aver- age price by the large dealers and co- operatives, depending upon the uses to which their milk is put. The milk de- livered to homes or sold over store counters, “fluid milk” as dairymen call it, bring the highest price. Milk that goes into ice cream, cheese or butter brings smaller returns. e board announced that it will use its power to revoke dealers’ licenses in order to carry out all provisions of its order and prevent dealers from paying producers a “blended” price for milk which they sell direct to the consumers at the highest price in the scale. Relieves Farmer of Burden. ‘The 200-mile clause in the order re- lieves the farmers of much the burden of freight costs. Instead of paying for the freighting of the milk into New York City they will pay only to the 200- mile zone. If their farms are within the zone they receive the benefit of a freight differential, depending upon the distance from New York. The board also fixed minimum pro- ducers’ prices of $1.30 a hundred for class 2A milk, for fluid cream; $1.50 for class 2B milk, used for ice cream or plain condensed milk and $1.20 a hun- dred for the grade used for cream cheese or other dairy products. Old formulas for determining minimum prices for other classes of milk were preserved. CHICAGO GETS MILK. Hllinois Dairymen’s Strike Has Slight Effect. CHICAGO, May 13 (#)—Milk flowed into Chicago as usual today as Northern Illinois dairymen precipitated a strike to withhold their products from market. At Woodstock, milk producing center of the region northwest of Chicago, not more than 5 per cent of the dairymen withheld their milk. A group of repre- sentatives of the Pure Milk Association gathered in front of the Borden Dairy Co.'s plant and requested each farmer who appeared for his daily delivery not to bring it in tomorrow. At other principal milk depots, farm- ers were met by dissuaders, but made their deliveries. The few dairymen who stood on their decision to withhold marketing capitulated when they learn- ed the fluid was going through at other dairy centers. The Pure Milk Association, market- ing organization of 18,000 dairymen in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, re- ported there was virtually no curtail- ment of milk shipments to Chicago. The association said Chicago's milk supply the next few days was assured. Art Teacher Weds.

S. Responsibility. 19 Economic distress is forcing the evo- lution of a sound system of social relief work under Government leadership and larger Government, responsibility. Yet this shifting of the burden from private philanthropy to society as a whole will only increase the usefulness of private charities in specialized fields. These conclusions were emphasized before the conference of Maryland and District welfare workers, which closed yesterday at the United States Cham- ber of Commerce Building, by Linton B. Swift of the Family Welfare Associa- tion of America. Discussing “Meeting Human Needs in the Puture,” Mr. Swift told the some | | 300 delegates of his hope “that in the earliest possible future most of the hu- man needs which are now met through philanthropy will be met through an adequate distribution among the entire population of the wealth, income and opportunities of the Nation. Place Left For Charity. “Most of the human problems with | which social work struggles,” Mr. Swift continued, re related 1o the existing | division of society into the small num- | ber who have adequate income and op- | portunities, and the greater number | who have not.” Any equalization of through Government leadership, how- | ever, will still leave a place for private | charity, he raid. Mr. Swift expressed | the belief that the energies of these agencies “will be transformed into a| vital expression of ninority group in- terest in the usefulness of specific so- cial services which are not the function of Government, or which Government is not yet ready to undertake.” Mr. Swift also believes “we are grad- ually moving forward toward a sounder program for meeting human needs” through the following measures: “The performance by Government of these social services, which are clearly recognized by a majority of the public ©s meeting community needs, particu- larly those needs arising most clearly from injustices in our social and eco- nomic order. Government Taking Lead. “A carrying forward under private | auspices of specific social services whose existence continues to depend upon the support of interested minority groups " Mr. Swift said we are “witnessing what I hope is but the beginning of a ccurageous and planned attempt to | bring order into our industrial chaos. | | It has now become respectable to ques- | tion the doctrine of ‘rugged individual- ism' as the bgsis for an cconomic or- der, operating solely througl. individual | competition and incentives for material | gain. “The Federal Government is at last assuming leadership in developing a better distribution of the Nation's in-| come and opportunities among the | working population. I do not believe | we yet fully realize the possible future | |significance of President Rooseve]t's proposals for supervised self-regulation by industry of working hours, minimum wages, working conditions and produc- | tion. We are moving toward a planned ' economic_ order. | Mr. Swift said that while few social | workers want a “completely regimented society,” most of them “welcome this new recognition of the social responsi- | bilities of Government.” Public Reaction Forecast. | The speaker pointed out that “we are now witnessing a honeymoon of public social work expenditures which will be followed by a public reaction” to the extent “to which hasty and in-| adequate organization of public agen- cles leads to waste, inefficiency and in- adequate methods.” | He declared that “neither a private nor a public agency should be expected to assume a function affecting the wel- fare of thousands unless it is so or-! ganized as to offer a reasonable assur- ance of continuity and growth in stand- ards of administration.” He said a cial welfare work “should not mean a wholesale transfer from private to pub- | lic auspices.” Mr. Swift cited the needs of ade- quate family welfare relief to illustrate his point that “a rounded family wel- fare and relief program requires (par- ticularly in the larger communities) both public and private agencies, each supplementing the other, with co-oper- ation and interflow of services between them.” In conclusion, Mr. Swift said: “We see public agencies, as an instru- ment of government, assuming and im- proving upon these social services which | are accepted as the responsibility of the majority of the community. Luncheon Held at Y. W, “And we see private agencies as- suming the responsibility for developing | those types or phases of social service which are not the function of the Gov- ernment, or which still require minority | group support.” The conference adjourned after a luncheon meeting at the Central Y. W. C. A. The meeting was a joint ir between the Maryland State Conference of Social Welfare and the Washington Council of Social Agencies. | ‘Those who addressed the final lunch- eon meeting included W. Frank Persons of the American Public Welfare offi- cials’ Association, presiding; Paul T. Beisser, president of the Maryland Wel- fare Conference, and C. C. Carstens, executive director, Child Welfare League of America. LIFE TERM GIVEN LEE ATLANTA, May 13 (#).—J. D.

PROSPERITY RETURN IS SEEN BY FARLEY Universal Confidence Recov- ery Gains Momentum Each Day, He Says. By the Assoclated Press, NEW YORK, May 13.—Universal re- turn of confidence, “which is gaining momentum every day,” is seen by Post- master General James A. Farley, he said tonight. “In its wake,” he added, “there has been a positive improvement in eco- nomic conditions indicating that pros- perity, Nation-wide and world-wide, is | speedily seturning.” As guest of honor at a testimonial dinner attended by many of the king- | pins of Democracy, the man who had | much to do with putting Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House told on just what foundation he based those observations. “Feels Country’s Pulse.” “During the past two months,” he said, “my duties have made it possible for me really to feel the pulse of the country. “In Washington I have been meeting people from every State of the Union. In New York I have been in touch with | business and professional men, whose | positions are such to compel them to | opportunity | keep well informed about what is go- | ing on throughout the United States. “Within a fortnight I have traveled almost half way across the continent. Recently I have met leaders from all parts of the vorld. The depagtment I have the honor to head has ramifica- tions reaching all over the globe.” Then he made his observation about returning prosperity, adding: “In these days of returning forti- tude among our people, America has re- found itself. ‘Welcome on Doormat. “At the portals of the White House or in front of the rough-hewn door of the humblest cabin, there is again a welccme on the doormat. “Pride of country is ascending. “It is my great fortune to serve a }eadet who is himself serving human- ty.” Farley recalled this is his twenty- fifth year in politics, and he reviewed that career, going back to his first elec- tion as a member of the Rockland County (N. Y.) Democratic Committee. In telling of his service in local poli- tics, he said: “Local offices compose the very foun- dations on which our system of govern- ment stands, and honorable service by the incumbents of these positions is just as important to the welfare of America as the same kind of service in any of | the greater offices.” Tell of Appointment. When he told of being appointed to the State Athletic (hoxing) Commi: sion, he said: “I received the appointment from one whose clean life, outstanding ability and superb sportsmanship has and al- ways will command my utmost respect, | |and whose personal friendship I have and always will esteem, a real Amer- | ican, one known to all present, our great ex-Governor, Alf'ed E. Smith.” Farley also paid a tribute, in discuss- ing the presidential campaign, to “those many others vho came with us because they felt by so doing they could best serve the real ends of progressive Re- publicanism.” SITE OF HOPI.
