To Stay Within Estimates. Commenting on the proposal to ex- tend the bond issue limit, Secretary Morgenthau stressed that there was no intention of using bonds in excess of budget estimates. Officials said the request for a change in the Treasury’s authority grew out of the provisions of the sec- ond Liberty loan act. That law placed a limit of $28,000,000,000 on the ag gregate of Federal bonds that might be issued Already $25450.487,115 has been issued. Of this sum, almost $12,000,- 000,000 has been retired, but under the law no bonds can be issued in place of those retired. Revolving Principle Sought. The proposal is that instead of the $28.000,000,000 gross limit, a revolving authorization of $25.000,000,000 be set up. This, it is said, would give the Treasury power to issue between $11,- 00,000,000 and $12,000,000,000 more bonds than are now outstanding. The $11,000.000.000 or $12,000,000,000 would be approximately the amount retired under the present authorization. The Treasury proposal comes at a time when the Government is plan- ning to spend $4,000,000,000 in a drive to transfer the needy from the dole to work relief, and about $100,000,000 on the first year's operation of the social security program. Morgenthau said the new-type bonds would be designed to meet the requirements of people who wanted to save. R. F. C. Loans Criticized., Another development on the finan- ¢ial front yesterday was criticism of the Reconstruction Corp.’s loans-to- industry activities, voiced at a hearing before the House Banking Committee. Jesse Jones, chairman of the R. F. C., was on the stand, explaining a bill to extend the life of the R. F. C. two years. Representative Fish, Repub- lican, New York, said: “Both the R. F. C. and the Federal Reserve Banks have absolutely failed in carrying out our intent to make loans to private industry.” Some Democratic members joined in the criticism. Jones said “indus- trial loans have been our most diffi- cult job because most people who come to us apparently can't provide the se- curity required by law.” He said “we can give the money away, if you want us to.” S California Feels Quake.

Hudson had no ad- dress when arraigned before Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Traffic Court roday on a charge of failing to change his automobile permit address—and still has none. Hudson was arrested yesterday by Officer C. L. Smith of the Traffic Bu- reau and in addition to the permit charge was charged with speeding. In court today he told Judge Hitt he lives on a houseboat in the middle of the Washington Channel and hadn’t changed his permit address be- cause he didn’t know what to say. When he secured his automobile tags he gave the bureau Thirteenth and Water streets southwest, which is at the edge of Washington Channel and off which point his houseboat is an- chored, as his address, Hudson for- merly lived in the 900 block of Third :geec southwest and received his mail ere.

Heart Beats Stop 20 Minutes Before Birth, By the Associated Press. MALONE, N. Y, January 22.—Al- though his heart ceased beating 20 minutes before birth, a Malone baby is alive today and is considered normal. The child, born at Alice Hyde Me- morial Hospital January 9, was taken home yesterday by his mother, Mrs. James Kollop. Hospital officials said that so far as they knew it was the first such case in medical annals. Hospital attendants described the case as a breach presentation, one of the most dangerous both for mother and child. After s=vcrol hours of la- bor, the heart sound of the baby dis- but Baby Lives appeared, and 20 minutes before the it was found that the cord had ceased to pulsate. The baby was delivered and adre- nalin was injected directly into the heart muscle. Ten seconds later the heart began to beat spasmodically. A tank was filled with water at a temperature of 100 degrees F. and artificial respiration was employed while the child’s body was immersed ‘Twenty-eight minutes later the baby gave its first voluntary gasp. ‘Within an hour the baby was breath- ing normally and has continued in good health, gaining 9 ounces, - He held. | | the National Recovery Board granted | to| The government of Premier Kimon | Gueorguieff resigned today after nine : King Boris immediately comimis- | SENATE MAY GET armies in China.” Th e miles is rapidly falling under the Mongolia. the foreign office spokesman said in amplifying Hirota's statement ] he Sinkiang area of 550,000 square After a secret conference last night | Republicans, under the leadership of New York. produced a plan to scrap the administration measure which PAY AMENBMENI‘dominauon of the Soviet like outer | Representative Snell, Republican, of i i ?

SUBCOMMITTEE STUDIES | ECCLES NOMINATION| Glass Is Expected to Call Utah Man for Questioning on Qualifications. By the Associated Press. The nomination of Marriner S. Eccles of Utah as governor of the Federal Reserve Board was sent to a subcommittee today by the Senate Banking Committee for investigation | and study. The committee approved the re- | appointment of Adolph C. Miller, vet- | eran member of the board. The inquiry into Ececles’ qualifica- tions was ordered on motion of Sena- tor Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, one of the authors of the Federal Reserve | System, who has been making a per- sonal study of the Utah banker's fit- ness for the high post. ¢ | “Our information. which emanates from high Chinese officials. shows thar the present leaders of Sinkiang are under the control of Moscow,” he con- tinued “Further, we are informed that the retirement of Chinese Communists into Szechuan is purely a strategic retreat on orders carried to Com- munist leaders in Kiangsi by an Indian agent of the Moscow Third Interna- tionale named Rominats. “Chinese Communists are hoping to find close connections with Soviets dominating Sinkiang and outer Mon solia. “There is an old Chinese political adage, ‘Who rules Szechuan can rule China.’ Japan is compelled to view these developments anxiously.” Asked what Tokio proposed to do about it. the spokesman replied. “At present we can only watch.” Authori- tative Russian quarters said charges of Soviet political penetration into Sinkiang were fantastic, although they admitted that the Russian economic influence there has been greatly enhanced since the completion of the Turkish-Siberian Railway, affording an easy egress for Sinkiang's commerce. Turning to the Manchurian situa- tion, the Japanese spokesman said that the Chinese Eastern Railway agreement was “virtually completed.” | Wpuld Aid China. “In view of our position as China's neighbor and as a stabilizing force in East Asia,” Hirota said in addressing the Diet, “it is our policy to try to | assist China in the attainment of this goal. “Japan attaches great importance to her friendship with other states in | East Asia and counts on their par- ticipation in bearing the serious re- sponsibilities for the maintenance of peace and order in this part of the World. * “Japan and the United States have been bound not only by the vital eco- nomic relationship of mutual inter- dependence elsewhere, but also by a historical bond of friendship. ““There exists no question between the two countries which is intrin- sically difficult of amicable solution. Certainly it is unimaginable that there should be any cause of conflict between two countries separated by the vast expanse of the Pacific.” Page. Amusements .B-14 Comics Features Finance ..
