HOUSE BONUS VOTE| SEEN NEXT WEEK Ways and Means Committee to Start Hearing Monday on Bills. By the Associated Press. House leaders met murmurs of dis- content yesterday by holding up the possibility of a vote next week on pay- ing the soldiers’ bonus. The Ways and Means Committee, which is considering both the bonus and the administration’s social se- curity plan, voted to start hearings Monday on the bonus bills. Chairman Doughton predicted the hearings would last only a couple of days, and said it was “possible” & bonus bill would be reported within a week. Many House members had expressed dissatisfaction at the fact the Senate rose in revolt against the administra- tion's $4,880.000,000 public works bill. House Passage Predicted. One Democratic leader conceded | frankly that a chance to put the *“bonus hot potato issue in the laps of the Senators™ would “let the boys (of the House) get a big load off their chests.” He added his likewise frank predic- tion that the House Would pass a bill, although he did not know whether it would be the Patman measure, with its currency expansion provision, or the American Legion- Vinson bill, which would not specify how the $2.000,000,000 should be raised. The drive to assure a vote on the Patman bill was promptly dropped. Representative Patman, Democrat, of Texas, predicted his bill would be approved by the Ways and Means Committee. He said. too, that al- though he had 147 of the necessary 217 signatures on a petition to force a vote on his measure, no other House members would be asked to sign. Morgenthau Notified. The hearings were meade possible by the fact that the committee had gotton so far ahead of its legislative drafting clerks on the security bill that it found time hanging on its hands. It may take the clerks a week to catch up, it was said. Doughton late in the day informed the Treasury of the calling on bonus hearings and told Secretary Morgen- thau a Treasury representative could be heard Tuesday or Wednesday after | proponents of the legislation have| testified. Copies of the more than 30 bonus bills, ranging all the way from full cash payment of adjusted compensa- tion certificates to cancellation of in- terest on loans against the certificates, were sent to the Treasury by special messenger. Belgrano Pleased at Hearing. A statement by Frank N. Belgrano, 4r.. national commander of the Amer- ican Legion, said he was “delighted” to learn of the plan for a hearing. “I am sure,” he said, “that the bill which is approved by the Ways and Means Committee will provide for the | immediate payment to veterans of the | full face value of their adjusted service certificates, with cancellation of inter- est accrued and refund of interest paid. That bill the American Legion will support energetically and without reservation.” PLOT TO OVERTHROW MEXICAN RULE CRUSHED Police Arrest Seven Men and Seize 2,500 Rifle Cartridges and Propaganda. By the Associated Press MEXICO, D. F..

Five of the men were arrested in the town of Celaya, State of Guana- Juato, where police said seditious prop- aganda also was seized, and the two others were arrested here. Chief of Detectives Ignacio Sanchez Ayala said the conspiracy was led by Lauro Rocha, self-styled general, and Nicolas Mancera. Both are now be- ing sought by police.

TAXPAYER VOICE HELD NEEDIND. C. Greater Share in Control of Affairs Advocated by Pat McCarran. Referring to the District of Colum- bia, Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada, in an address before the Burroughs Citizens’ Association last night, de- clared taxpayers should have a greater voice in their own Government. Senator McCarran avoided express- ing his view on how this should be accomplished, but asserted his belief in public hearings on matters con- cerning the District. Likewise, he | said, members of Congress should | better acquaint themselves with Wash- | ingtonians because of their lack of a | voice in affairs, to better learn their | desires and needs. | Because of his interest in affairs | of the community in which he was Lving, the Senatorial member of the District Committee said he had sought that position. Backed Pay Bills. The Senator pointed out his spon- sorship of both governmental em- ployes’ pay restoration bills, declaring the Government was “more secure” when the “toilers” were satisfied, The Senator pointed out the need for patriotism and loyalty to the American flag. Such a demonstration as is carried out by the Boy Scouts, he said, is the best antidote to Com- munism. Senator McCarran, referring to the overcrowded conditions in local schools and lack of sufficient teachers, de- clared these matters should be checked and improved by Congress. He referred to the small loans law before Congress, lauding the citizens of Washington for demanding proper hearings on the matter. One bill reported favorably by a committee was recalled for consideration after public hearings were demanded by District citizens. The proposed small loans law was disapproved last meeting by the Burroughs Citizens' Association. In accordance with his expressed wish that he might meet each mem- ber personally, the meeting adjourned after his address. Mrs. McCalran was present and was introduced along with the Senator by Paul Jamieson, chair- man of the association’s Legislative Committee. P. W. A, Funds Asked for Schools. The association indorsed the pro- posal set forth in newspaper articles calling for building of schools here through Public Works Administration funds. The School Committee was instructed to find out what action had been taken. It was reported unoffi- cially that a proposal called for the building of 22 schools here at an estimated cost of $2,985000. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Boy Scout Troop No. 99 was pre- sented with an American flag by David Babp, president of the Bur- roughs Association and secretary of the Federation of Citizens’ Associa- tions, who presided at the meeting held in the Burroughs School, Eight- eenth and Monroe streets northeast. Dr. A. F. Heath, scoutmaster, received the award Senator McCarran at- tended the troop meeting. LUTHERAN PASTORS TO EXCHANGE PULPITS Dr. 0. F. Blackwelder to Preach at York, Pa., and Dr. J. B.

By the Associated Press CRANLEIGH. England, March 2 —King Prajadhipok of Siam remained in seclusion at spacious Knowle House today, busily framing his formal ab- dictation.

NEPHEW MAY GET THRONE. Parliament Session May Disclose De- tails of Royal Rift. BANGKOK, Siam. March 2 (P).— The Siamese government at tonight's session of Parliament, was expected to make full disclosure of the situa- tion resulting from long-drawnout negotiations with King Prajadhipok. Official sources continued to deny | having received any formal notifica- tion of the King's intention to leave the throne. Elevation of the King's young nephew, Ananda, to the vacant throne was expected. Bangkok, meanwhile, was peaceful.

By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, March 2—From the same witness two markedly con- trasting pictures are being drawn of Andrew W. Mellon’s millions and how | he managed them in far-flung trans- actions affecting the destinies of giant | corporations. | With the multi-millionaire’s income | tax hearing in recess over the week end, counsel for the Government and | for Mellon worked doggedly today over thousands of words of technical testimony, preparing for the coming | week and a new witness. | Howard M. Johnson, after a brisk !and pointed redirect examination, in which his testimony brought out that | Mellon’s personal fortune in early | December, 1931, was $200,000,000, and that what the Government called «“shadow sales” of stock had nothing to do with Mellon’s income affairs, was still testifying at the recess, but is expected to leave the stand soon. U. S. Claims $3,089,000. The Internal Revenue Bureau is in- sisting before the Tax Board of Ap- peals that Mellon should pay $3,089,- 000 on his 1931 income, but the for- mer Secretary of the Treasury claims there should be a $139.000 refund. Frank J. Hogan, Mellon’s chief counsel, picked up interrogation of Johnson, Mellon's confidential secre- tary, where Government men left off and attempted to draw entirely differ- | ent inferences from those the Gov- ernment sought to make in Johnson's testimony. The mild-mannered, middle-aged secretary has been a witness for eight days. and through it all Government counsel pointed its major artillery at three big matters—the Coalesced Co., a Mellon family holding corporation; the Ascalot Co., personal holding firm of Mellon’s daughter. and a “joint ac- count” held by A. W. Mellon and his brother, the late R. B. Mellon. The Government has accused the elderly financier of making “wash sales” to Coalesced and Ascalot to dodge income taxes. Hogan, by disclosing a contract be- tween A. W, R. B. and W. L. Mel- lon with Coalescéd to secure & $60.- 000,000 issue of Union Gulf Co. bonds in 1931, attempted to show that An- drew W. Mellon himself was not the “dominant factor” in Coalesced. The firm was reorganized late in 1931. The common stock is held by his children, Paul Mellon and Mrs. Ailsa Bruce, and the former Treas- ury Secretary holds the $20,000,000 preferred stock. Testifies on Bond Deal. In all, it was brought out in John- son’s testimony, the Mellons agreed to guarantee up to $78,000,000 the bond issue of Union Gulf, & pipe line concern. When, in 1931, securities posted for the issue depreciated, A. W. Mellon then went to Coalesced and entered into a contract for securities to bolster the bond security, it was testified. Through this contract Ho- gan attempted to show the financier did not operate Coalesced at will. The $60,000,000 bond issue even- tually was retired and every bond- holder paid, Johnson said. Hogan’s examination, which en- livened a week devoted largely to poring over thousands of ledger en- tries, further drew the statement that the Mellon children as voting stock- holders of Coalesced could, by paying $5 premiums on each $100, buy in the $20,000,000 preferred stock owned by their father by selling some of the concern’s assets. Its surplus was listed as $41,500,000 in 1932, $71,771,- 000 in 1933 and $71,772,000 in 1934. Gave Million to Children. For Christmas of 1931, Johnson testified, Mellon made gifts to his children of between $68,000,000 and $100,000,000, which helped to reduce the multimillionaire’s wealth to an estimated $97,000,000. The Govern- ment claims much of the securities were only “purported gifts.” Johnson also testified the holdings of the brothers in the joint account totaled $20,000,000 in 1931. He also said 193,000 shares of Pittsburgh Coal Co. common stock held by the brothers was not a voting majority, because the 400,000 shares of preferred stock also had voting power. The stock which cost Mellon $6,- 000,000 was sold to the Union Trust Co. for $500,000 and he claimed an income tax loss of more than $5,000,- 000 in 1931. Some months later Coalesced bought the stock for $517,- 000. Government counsel charged the sale was made merely to escape income tax payments. = Texas Official Hung in Effigy. AUSTIN, Tex., March 2 () —Uni- versity of Texas students hung State Representative Howard Davison in effigy yesterday in protest at his bill to increase their yearly tuition from $50 to $150, | Roosevelt Shops at Red Cross Bazaar ARMY BILL FACE FGHT IN SEMATE King Leads Opposition to $45,000,000 Increase and 165,000 Men. By the Associated Press. Opposition was forming in the Sen- ate today for a brisk fight on the pro- posal for a $45,000,000 increase in Army appropriations and expansion of the enlisted force to 165,000 men. The supply bill comes up in the Senate Monday. The Senate has al- ways had a fair-sized bloc ready to attack increases in military appropria- tions, but the jump in the Army bill this year has increased its strength, some memoers say. Little opposition faced the bill in the Appropriations Committee, which ap- proved it yesterday with more than $6,000,000 added to the military ap- propriations passed by the House. A reduction of $10,000,000 was made in ;hedWar Department’s non-military und. Increase to Be Fought. Chief point of controversy in the bill, critics indicated today, will be the proposal to increase the standing Army from 118,750 to 165,000 enlisted men, involving an annual appropria- tion of $20,000,000. Senator King, Democrat, of Utah is one of the leaders of the opposition against this. “My opinion is” he said today, “that we are becoming a little too hysterical by reason of the acts of other nations and there is no justifi- cation for such a large appropriation or for an increase in the size of the Army. “When it is realized that approxi- mately a billion dollars is proposed in the Army and Navy supply bills and an additional bill for $400,000,000 is suggested for the Navy, making almost a billion and a half for this year of depression, it seems to me to be wholly unwarranted.” Program Held Cheap. Supporters of the increased person- nel will argue that it is needed for military purposes, but also is an inex- pensive way to care for a portion of the unemployed. Maj. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff, told the Appropriations Committee it was cheaper than any other relief method, averaging about $400 a year per man. Aside from the increase in the size of the Army, the appropriation bill carries the largest fund for Army de- velopment since the war days The Air Corps would get an addi- tional $20,000,000, chiefly for new air- planes and to increase the flying time of its personnel. The Ordnance Bu- | reau would have an increase of more | than $6,000,000 to expand equipment in all departments. Another $20,000,000 would go for increased pay and higher subsistence costs. Additional sums also would be | provided for the National Guard, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and Citizens’ Military Training Camps. DR. JOHN C.

Charges that $25,000 lobbyists and propaganda letters signed with ficti- tious names were being used in the fight against abolishment of utility holding companies brought the issue to the House floor yesterday for the first time. Representative Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi, accused the utilities of & campaign “to organize their victims to fight their battle before Congress.” That assertion brought out a series of complaints against the mounting stacks of letters and telegrams from investors in utility stocks opposing the pending semi-administration bill. “Has the gentleman noticed,” asked Representative Wearin, Democrat, of Jowa, “the close similarity between these communications, many-of them virtually identical? I want to advise the House that I have had some of these letters checked up on back through the postmarks and found some of the names signed to them were fictitious.” “Does the gentleman not also know,” put in Representative Truax, Demo- crat, of Ohio, “that lobbyists that have been sent here to Washington to defeat the legislation are drawing —9la- ries as high as $25,0002" The burden of the communications has been 1o the effect that if the hold- STERN MEASURES IN CUBA FEARED Batista Ready to Act to Up- hold Mendieta and Quell Strike. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, March 2—Col. Fulgencio Batista, chief of the nation’s armed forces, declared today the government might be forced to resort to drastic measures to handle the island-wide movement for a general strike. Although he hoped the government “could handle the problem without extreme measures,” he was afraid, he said, “the moment may come, and it may be very near, when the thing must be settled in another way.” Dr. Jose A. Presno, rector of Hae vana University, who had been chosen by the united opposition of three hitherto irreconcilable political or- ganizations as successor to President Carlos Mendieta, said he would re fuse to accept the office “under any conditions.” Press Resignation Cry. ‘The A. B. C., Autenticos and Me- nocalistas had buried the hatchet and the “common front” had joined strik- ing students and teachers in demand- ing the resignation of the President. In the face of the threat of a gen- eral strike, Col Batista admitted that should the condition of Cuba become critical, he might consider taking the helm of the government into his own hands. He made it clear, however, that ing companies are dissolved in 1940, as the Wheeler-Rayburn bill contem- plates, innocent investors will be wiped | out.
