BANK REFORM SEEN " INMOREAN PROBE .. Pecora Predicts “Important! Legislation” to Result From Inquiry. @y the Associated Press. | Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for "the Senate Banking Committee, prodicted | in an interview today that the investi- | gation of J. P. gan & Co, open- ing tomorrow, would result in “much tmportant legislation™ to reform bank ing laws, Pecora was engaged with his staff in going over the evidence to be presented to the Senate committee tomorrow, much of which has been gathered in eliminary investigation in New York. hile he would nct discuss the nature of the testimony to be adduced, he said it would “probably suggest the wisdom of segregating commercial and invest- ! yuent banking,” such as is now pro- | sed in the pending Glass bank re- lorm bill. The evidence, Pecora added, would “lend support” to the provision in that bill designed to prevent private bankers from “accepting deposils and at the same time underwriting securities." The committee counsel planned to eonfer during the day with Chairman Pletcher of the Banking Committee to make final arrangements for the open- ing of the inquiry -Two additional trunk loads of evi- dence will arrive late this afternoon, | PBecora said, to be added to the mass of documents already accumulated. It was learned that the Morgan firm Has engaged large quarters in a local Notel for its personnel and records which are being brought ‘for the in- vestigation The firm was reported to be bringing to the Capital several trunkloads of records which have been subpoenaed or may be needed during the inquiry. *J. P. Morgan himself, long regarded by the public as a Gibralter of Ameri- cgn finance, will be called to the stand at the outset of the penetrating inves- tigation of his business affairs A staff of nearly half a hundred in- vestigators, headed by Pecora, was| assigned today to a final scrutiny of the data on which Morgan will be ques- tiened. They have been working over the Margan books for weeks. Morgan’s appearance will mark the figst time a head of the huge private banking firm has appeared before such a’ group since his father testified a generation ago in the famous Pujo “money trust” inquiry. Pecora and Chairman Fletcher have lined up a dozen or more of the best known members of the Morgan firm, all under subpoena to testify after their chief. They, too, will be questioned upon material marshalled by the more than two score attorneys, accountants and investigators who have had access to the J. P. Morgan & Co. books. Word at the Senate is that preparations have been the most elaborate since the Tea- pot Dome investigation. i . It appeared probable that details of ‘the Morgan operations would be laid | bare for the first time. Little is known by the public of the activities of this international banking house, which is a private institution, and does not have to publish even its capital set-up. The Morgan inquiry will be the first inyestigation invalving the operations of Wall Street conducted under Demo- cratic management, as the Republicans were in power throughout the previous investigations. While the Morgan hearings are in gn)[rm. Pecora’s staff will stay in New ork preparing for the next two in- quiries, into Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and Dil- lon, Read & Co., both big private bank- houses. - ey are scheduled to come before the cammittee early in June, with two weeks allowed for completion of the Morgan case.

READING, Pa, May 22.—Reading and Berks County yesterday began to remove the debris of a tornado which caused damage estimated by authori- ties at more than $500,000 and brought minor injuries to a score or more per- sons.

BUT WILL VOTE FOR REPEAL l t Ballot in Opposition to Beer Measure as Un- constitutional. Insists Beverage Being Sold Now Is in Fact Intoxi- cating. BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTES, Senator Harry Flood Byrd of Vir- | ginia, who succezded Claude A. Swan- son, when the latter becime Becretary of the Navy, is an unusual dry. He does mot drink, he is opposed to the return. of the saloon, he voted against the beer bill because he felo it to be conirary to the Constiwution, | but he is going to vote for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. He explained his opposition to the x bill as follows: 'he bill as passed provides that beer, ale, porter, wine, fermented malt or vinous liquor or fruit juices may be sold with en aleoholic content of 3,2 cent by weight or 4 per cent by volume. This is of equal or even greater strength than the average pre-war beer and is of the same strength as the beer now sold in Germany or England. “Few will deny that pre-war beer was intoxicating. I am therefore con- vinced that the beer authorized by this bill is in fact intoxicating. certainly to those unaccustomed to its use if nat to those accustomed to stimulonts. Cites Constitution. “I therefere voted against the beer bill, as the Constitution of the United States prohibits the sale of intoxicating beverages. I would not be faithful to my oath of office as Senator if I voted for a law which in my conception is contrary to the Constitution.” His feeling about the repeal of the eighteenth amendment he wrote to a constituent: “When the questian of Te- peal of the eighteenth amendment is submitted to the people of Virginia, it is my expectation to vote &s & cit zen for its repeal. But it is a matter which must determined by every voter, freely and according to his or her own conscience.” By this, he re- ferred to the submission to the people of this issue, by a national referendum, “State-wide and separate from other is- sues,” & solution which he advocated last year. He continued, “My reason for this action is a practical one. All of us must recognize that no law is stronger than the public sentiment to sustain it. ‘The country today is confronted with the stubborn fact that in many States public sentiment is opposed to national prohibition. no effort will be made to enforce the prohibition laws either by State or na-| tional authorities. As any law will fail | if not enforced, I will cast my vote| for repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment in the hope that in Virginia and | elsewhere the cause of real temperance will be promoted by the adoption of such plans as may be approved by the irdividual States of the Union and sustained by public sentiment which will compel the enforcement of the laws adopted.” Has Every Qualification. to represent his State. When there was indecision as to whether Senator Glass would accept the Treasury portfolio or Senator Swanson become Becretary of the Navy, no one doubted Byrd would fili the vacated seat. His inheritance from his father, the brilliant Speaker of the House of Delegates, and from his ancestors, who, dating from the build- er of Westover, Col. William Byrd, have been associated with Virginia politics, the Natien-wide publicity that had been given his family through his pole-fly- ing brother, his own energetic tem- perament and his extraordinary record 2s Governor, make him impegnable to confusion. He began to whittle out his career at the age of 15 when he took over and made a success of the Winchest r Star. Five years later he founded tle Martinsburg Evening Journal, In 1906 he became interested in apple orchards and began to experiment with ten. Now he is one of the biggest orchardists east of the Mississippi. . If he had had it in his mind to be- come Senator eventually, he could not have chosen his occupations with wiser diversification. For 10 years he was president of the Valley Turnpike Co. He was president of the Winchester Cold_Storage Co. He was director of the Farmers and Merchants’ National Bank in Winchester, and of the Nation- al Fruit Products Co.

Instead of presenting this | part of the official communication to| the President at the White House, the | convention committee deleted reference | to prohibition {lnfl merely extended Mr. | Roosevelt the felicitations of the South- |ern Baptists. Members of the dele- gation gave as a reason that it was not in good taste at the time, sin the convention had not been active the report of its social service com- | mission. The report of the commission tonight goes much further than the very mild phraseology of the original communica- | tion to the President. |~ While withheld from the press, the recommendations were published, never- | theless, in the official convention bulle- | tin distributed to all delegates and lable to anyone who may be attend- g the sessions or by request. Approval to Be Asked. The convention will be asked to ap- | prove this report. which looks with | “great concern” on the extraordinary grants of power to the President and | to express the hope that with the pass- | Ing of present conditions Congress may resume its powers and the Government may function in & normal way. The report bitterly assails as the worst form of lawlessness acts of pub- lic servants who 1 glect their duty and disregard solemn . bligations of office. With respect to prohibition. the Southern Baptists Convention will be | asked to take & dstermined stand to| prevent repeal, and use its economic | powers in & boycott of all businesses engaged in- the sale of intoxicating drinks, including beer and wine recent- | ly legalized. | ” Organization of a vigorous campaign | to defeat members of Congress and of the legislatures in the South who vote | for repeal would be a part of the drive | to block repesl of the eighteenth amend- ment. | Lynching &nd all other forms of law- | legsness are condemned in the report of the social service commission, which | will call upon the convention to take | & vigorous stand in behalf of law and order and respect for all human liber- ties safeguarded under the orderly proc- esses of justice. ~Greetings from Northern _Baptist groups were extended to the Southern convention today by Dr. John MacNeill of Hamilton, Ontarlo, president of the | reported, and unless some way is found MONDAY, MAY 22, 1933. in the several State Legislatures on the | Baptist Werld Alliance, and E. l.‘pflurm Dr. Russell H.

The feature of this reunion will be the dedication of the National Baptist | Memorial Church, Sixteenth street and Columbia_road, built by the contribu- tions cf both Northern and Southern Various reports on educational and dencminational activities were pre- sented and epproved at today’s session. The work of the education commis- sion, submitted by Chairman Charles D. Johnson of Arkadelphia, Ark., showed that while the theological seminaries had gained 6 per cent enrollment dur- ing the past year, senior colleges had | Icst 8 per cent, junior colleges had lost 10 per cent and academies had lost 26| per cent. Warns Against Failure. It was the opinion of the commission that faflure to maintain church col- leges of standard grades will turn over | to the States and to other non-church agencies the entire system of education. “If this is dcne,” the report said, “the greatest organized power for the devel- epment of Christian character, aside from the church itself, will be given up.” President L. R. Schrborough of the | Southwestern Seminary, Seminary HIll, { Tex., reparted the debt of the institu- tion’ now stands at $500,858, an in- crease of over $2.000 cver last year. O. L. Hailey, Nashville, executive sec- retary of the American Baptist Semi- nary, reported the “student aid fund” had incurred no debt. It was through the use of these funds, he said, that it has been possible to keep the school in operation. The situation with respect to colored members of the church is distressing, he | | to take care of their current expenses, a radical change in policy is unavoida- ble. The Baptist Bible Institute re- parted to its president, W. W. Hamilton, New Orleans, that its budget for this year was reduced 12 per cent. This re- duction, he said, falls largely on the faculty. Report of the Hospital Commission, rendered by Louis J. Bristow, New Or- leans, covered the actlvities of hospital work in the denomination. Free serv- | ice has been given to many foreign mis- | sionaries_through the Baptist Hospital in New Orleans, and the report says all operating expenses have been paid. Four Sons in Service. Four preacher sons yesterday particl- pated in the stirring services in which their gray-haired father—Dr. J. L. White of Miami, Fla.—preached the annual sermon of the Southern Baptist convention. A crowd that filled a flag-decorated Washington Auditorium to its topmost tier listened to and looked upon the re- markable White family.

White of Hastings, Fla., conducted the closing prayer and pro- nounced the benediction. “This is the first time since the his- toric Jones family, father and four sons, were preaching in the Baptist churches in the South that any such family group has ever been presented to a con- vention of our church,” said Dr. M. E. Dodd, newly-elected president of the convention. Rev. J. William Jones, famed as a Confederate veteran, reared four sons who followed him into ministerial ca- reers. Dr. Dodd presided over the services without his convention gavel, explain- ing he had left that symbol of office locked in its case in order to accentuate the worshipful tome of the Synday ses- | sion. Greatest Task Ahead. He told the convention that its great- | est task lay ahead—"to positionize itselt on social and moral questions.” Declaring he had been one of those Wwho believed it would have been better not to hold a convention this year be- cause of the expense, Dr. Dodd said if there Was any inescapable reason for ——— side the work of the church, was the need for taking a stand on moral issues.
