COMPANY North 4423 NEW FRENCH DEBT DEFAULT EVIDENT Premier, Queried on Foreign Policy, Avoids Any Mention of Payment to U. S. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 9—Another French de- fault, affecting the war debt payment due the United States June 15, became evident today as Premier Daladier, re- plying in the Chamber of Deputies to interpellations on foreign policy, avoided any mention of the debts. The premier restricted himself to the government's policies at the World Ecc- nomic Conference opening next week in | London and to the reasons for initiating the Mussolini four-power peace pact. He is leaving for London Sunday to head the French delegation to the con- ference, and the chances of the debts ;oming up in the Chamber are steadily ding. France defaulted in the $19,000,000 debt payment last December. The in- stalment due June 15 is about $40,- 000,000. The approval of the Chamber of Deputies is necessary before either payment may be made. RUMANIA WAITS ON BRITAIN. Government Decides to Follow Empire’s Example on War Debts.

EX-GRID STAR’S WIFE TO GET RENO DIVORCE Mrs. Margaret Stone Hardwick to Sue Huntington “Tack” Hardwick in Nevada. By the Associated Press. BROOKLINE, Mass, June 9.—Mrs. Margaret Stone Hardwick left yester- day for Reno to file suit for divorce from Huntington “Tack” Hardwick, famed Harvard athlete and now prom- inently connected in New England financial circles. The former foof ball star said the grounds would be incompatibility and the necessity for the action was re- gretted by both, but that he was “en- tirely at fault.” Hardwick was an All-America end on the famed Harvard foot ball teams of Brickley and Mahan, Was captain of the varsity base ball team, a stellar | shotputter and the “strong man” of the college for two years.

MATTERN RESUMES FLIGHT TO PACIFIC ON WORLD CIRCUIT (Continued From First Page.) Gatty and Wiley Post, and subsequent- ly. to span the Pacific. Details of these plans, however, he has not re- cently divulged. (His hope of beating Post and Gatty apparently rests in his ability to reduce the time he is on the ground hence- forth. Mattern was about 10 hours from Irkutsk—although it is not cer- tain that he will go there—and should he reach that city in 10 hours, he would |be about 145 hours out of New York. Post and Gatty took about 92 hours to reach Irkutsk, but they were ground- ed a tota] of 52 hours at Blagovest- schensk, Khanarovsk and Edmonton, Canada, subsequently.) Mattern was held up longer than he which broke late in the night. He waited until they had cleared away and then, warmly thanking officials and mechanics for their help, he took off, the plane rising without' difficulty. * Krasnoyarsk is in the vast hinter- land of Siberia, where there are no telephones and where communication with the outside world is by telegraph, none too good in that area.

PUBLIC WORKS Passes Amendments for Washington to Share in In- dustrial Bill Benefits. The Senate today adopted the sec-| ]ond of two amendments designed to| allow the District of Columbia to share | with the States in the $400,000,000 highway program under the public | works section of the industrial recovery bille® The first amendment, agreed to last| night, enlarged the definition of the| area affected by the section to include | the District of Columbia. The other amendment, which was accepted this | afternoon, amends the Federal highway act of 1921 for the purpose of insuring participation by the District in the| highway money carried in this bill. By a vote of 65 to 20, the Senate also this afternoon sustained the nance Committee amendment under which the highway fund will be allo- cated among the States and the Dis- trict according to the formula in the 1921 highway act, namely: One-third on the basis of populnnon one-third on the basis of area of each jurisdic- tion, and one-third according to the | mileage of postal delivery rural routes of each jurisdiction. The House bill would Bave allotted half of the fund on the basis of pop-| ulation, one-third on area and one- third on mileage. This would have been more advantageous to thickly | populated sections of the country. The vote in the Senate, however, was over- whelmingly in support of the commit- tee amendment providing for the 1921 formula. The highway act of 1921 also provides that no State shall re- ceive less than one-half of 1 per cent of the fund to be_distributed, and under this clause the District of Colum- bia would share to the extent of $2,000,000. ‘While the exact amount to be spent in the District will not be known until the method of allocating the fund is worked out, it has been estimated that, as the measure came from the com- mitme. the share available in Washing- ton would be $2,000,000. 28 HIGH SCHOOL BANDS ENTER NATIONAL CONTEST 5'000 Boys and Girls Take Part in Annual Meet at North- western University.

NEW YORK, June 9.—The opinion that “so-called planned economy” is one of the most dangerous of the pro- posals of the ‘“new economics” was voiced last night by Dr. Benjamin M. Anderson, jr., economist of the Chase National Bank of New York. Addressing the Pilgrims of the United States at a dinner given here in honor of Sir Josiah Stamp, British economist, Dr. Anderson criticized the doctrines of what he described as the “new eco- nomics.” Although not mentioning by name the administration’s proposed national industrial recovery bill, his remarks on planned economy were interpreted as applying to many of the outstanding features of this measure. “In generial it is not the function of government under the present system to produce goods or to perform eco- | nomic services,” he said. “The actual direction of industry, the decision whether more shoes shall be produced and less hats, is not made by the state or by collective society, but is left to | the choice of independent producers. “If a government of a collective sys- tem undertakes to regulate the business of a country as a whole and to guide and control production, there is re- quired a central brain of such vast power that no human being who has yet lived, or can be expected to live, can supply it OIL MEN PLAN CODE Conference to Decide on Practices in Line With Recovery.

With Eddie Rickenbacker, noted war ace, and a group of prominent Gov- ernment and private sclentists and engineers sitting as judges, tests were | conducted today of the value of alco- hol as a motor fuel. Test runs were conducted over a| measured mile on the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway by five automobiles using blends ranging from 1 to 12 per cent of alcohol. The test cars were both high and low compression. Ex‘perl.mcnll by A. A. A, The experiments were inaugurated jointly by the American Automobile Association and Representative Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois, author of legis- lation to require the use of alcohol as a blend with gasoline as a means of farm relief. Experts of the Bureau of Standards, under the direction of Dr. H. C. Dickinson, chief of the heat and power division and president of the Society of Automotive Engineers, took a prominent part in the work. Aside from A. A. A. and Government officials, other interested observers in- cluded Dr. J. F. T. Berlinger, Wilming- ton, Del, chemist; Dr. Leo M. Chris- tianson, University of Iowa; P. F. Pic- cerelli, New York chemist; S. Bevin, Tidewater Oil scientist, and Prof. G. G. Brown of the University of Michigan. If the use of alcohol is required by law, the gasoline bill of the Nation would increase some $600,000,000, ac- cording to estimates of one of the A. A. A. officials. The cost per gallon would be boosted 3 to 4 cents. Test Fuel Consumption. ‘The alcohol blends were injected into the carburetors of the test cars through special calibrated tubes. The cars were driven at a 45-mile speed up to the start of the course, the regular gaso- line then cut off and the car held at the same speed throughout the mile, using the blended fuel. At the end of the run the amount of blended fuel used was checked to com- pare with the amount of ordinary gaso- line consumed in the same distance. Later tests are to be made on dyna- mometers at the Bureau of Standards and the results of the whole experi- ment made public next week.

PLAN PAY INGREASE INSTEEL INDUSTRY Considering 10 Per Cent Ad- |2 vance and Conformance to New Control Bill. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, June_ 9—It was learned authoritatively $§day that the steel industry plans to ficrease wages 10 per cent July 1, having discussed and rejected a 15 per cest boost. The increase, with formation of “com- pany unions,” is part of a plan being worked out under direction of officers of the American Institute of Iron and Steel to effect a quick and smooth transfer to operation under the Roose- velt industrial control bifl. The prevailing scale for steel la- borers in larger companies is 33 cents an hour and the work from two to five This compares with 44 year of 1927. Position Explained. Explaining that their comment might be misconstrued while the industrial control plan is still under discussion, executives refuse to be quoted, but pri- vately outline the situation as follows: Ruthless price cutting seems definitely halted, with a resultant change within the past 30 days from a sellers’ to a buyers’ market. Most concerns are turning down or- ders subject to cancellation after more than 30 days. Quotations for delivery |in the third or fourth quarters will be | difficult to obtain until after July 1. The purchaser thus is forced to buy and carry his own stock, one thing re- sponsible for the recent rapid increase of production. New orders for tin plate placed by the canning industry, how- ever, are responsible for most of the Pittshurgh increase. Markets Unsettled. Unsettled foreign markets, which took | be $200,000,000 worth of steel from the tri-State area in 1929 and less .than $20,000,000 last year, coupled with re- fusal of railroads to lower rates, have slowed Pittsburgh's production recovery. The fact that most of the Pittsburgh mills are designed for “heavy” steel is another factor. Refusal of the railroads to lower ports, not an- nounced publicly but given to the steel men privately, has been a particularly hard blow to hopes of getting a larger part of the automotive trade—a busi- ness that furnished 18 per cent of the entire steel output in 1929. The fight for a revision of these al- leged injustices, which will have to be settled within the industry, has drawn most of the steel com;l)(any executives to Washington this weel BINGHAM’ION, N.

By the Associated Press. The House today approved the ad- ministration’s amended railroad bill.| leaving only Senate action necessary to send the measure to the President. The differences in the Senate and House bills were agreed to yesterday by the conferees of the two houses. The bill, in its final form, still pro- vides for a Federal co-ordinator to order and assist in reorganizations that will aid the railroads to get back on a paying basls. The conferees, how- ever, struck out language inserted by the House that would have permitted a merging of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Cos. The measure also assesses railroads $1.50 a mile for money to pay the ex- penses of the co-ordinator; accepts the House amendment giving unorganized labor representation in negotiations be- tween carriers and the employes; for- bids dismissal of employes in reorgan- izations but permits vacancies resulting mmll e;eun:z]mu or d;lf.hfl to remain and leaves uncl] lneedme S ent nu-mmnz base instead a”fiio.

HOUSE COMMITTEE ACCEPTS SUBSTITUTE VETERAN PAY PLAN (Continued From First Page.) to bring about Senate agreement to his substitute for the Connally amendment. The substitute propesal was describ- ed by Representative Lea of California, a member of the special veterans’ com- mittee, ud "mncfau both to the vet- erans an overnment, than the Connally amendment.” Acceptance of the President’s sub- stitute is regarded as bringing to an end a bitter controversy between v.he administration and the Congress. The appmpflnuon for the veterans’ compen. sation, carried in the mdependem oflleesbmupmedbytmsenm with the Connally amendment, was increas- ed $170,000,000 over the budget President Roosevelt Lhrntened to k:ep Congress in session until it h.ld passed additional tax legislation to raise the money required under the Connally amendment if that amendment was agreed to. Various Estimates Made. Various estimates have been made as to how much the substitute proposal for the Connally amendment would cut into the Pluident‘x economy pro- gram. Members of the Democratic Steering Committee said they thought the substitute might require the ex- penditure of from $60,000,000 to $75,- 000,000. It is understood this can taken care of, however, without the ! imposition of aditional taxation. It is! approximately $100,000,000 less than the expenditure which would be re- quired under the Connally amendment. Members of the Steering Committee said the President had promised to deal sympathetically with the Spanish- American War veterans in the class between 55 and 62 years of age. Those 62 years old and over are to be kept on the rolls anyway. —_— CHACO MISSION PLANNED League Provisionally Decides to Send Five, Including American.

Advocates of the Glass-Steagall bank reform bill, with its deposit insurance provisions, yesterday decided that it might be better to hold up the bill until Congress meets again. Their decision was influenced by threats of a filibuster and the approaching end of this session. In a two-hour conference, Represent- atives of the House and Senate failed to agree on a compromise of differences in the bills passed by the two branches. But they defeated a motion to eliminate the controverted deposit insurance pro- visions so the rest of the measure could be sent to the President. Chairman Steagall of the House Banking Committee said: “Because of this situation, it might be better to delay a conference repm until the next session. I understand that Senator Vaudenher! Btpubuun. of Michigan, is ready to filibuster if Vandenberg earlier had told the Sen- ate that conferees were at odds over the insurance of deposits. “It is not an issue between the two Houses,” he said. “It is an issue be- tween the President and his Secretary of Trde;sury !:.}I;)g . Let Con- ess do_soms g on its own responsi- bility. Let the President exercise his executive power if he doesn’t agree.” laying a conference report until the next session would not deprive the bill of its status as one that already passed both House and Senate.
