HOME OF VENIZELOS WRECKED BY LOYALISTS Business in Athens Stops as Gov- ernment Intensifies Drive to Halt Victories of Foes—Pilots Drop Calls to Arms on Moun- tain Villages. (Copyright. 1935. by the Associated Press.) ATHENS, March 4.—Greek govern- ment troops, led perwnuuy by Gen. George Kondylis, minister of war, smashed in force today against the Tebels in Macedonia and the govern- | ment announced at nightfall that the | vebels had been hemmed in. Guns blazed all along the ancient battle grounds of Saloniki as the loyal forces strove to capture Drama, the old village long regarded as a key position on the Northern Aegean. At the sam: time the government at Athens moved troops, warships and airplanes to other points where rebels, who began fighting last Saturday, threatened the authority of the gov- ernment. Twenty-two bombing planes, flown by loyal pilots, took off from Athens to bomb warships which put to sea under the command of rebel officers. (Across the Yugoslav border heavy fighting was reported heard, the Yu- goslavs saying that both the Greek government forces and the rebels were using artillery and that the en- gagement had taken on the charac- teristics of a major battle.) Wreck Venizelos' Home, Government air pilots reported that they had wrecked the home of the leader of the rebellion, former Pre- mier Eleutherios Venizelos. They flew over his estate, at Canea, Crete, and dropped a series of bombs. (Another alleged rebel leader, Gen Nicholas Plastiras, who ran a Greek revolution in 1922, was reported miss- ing from his hotel in Cannes and it was rumored he might have sailed for Crete) Gen. Kondylis, minister of war, took personal command of the gov- ernment campaign in an effort to force a sudden end to the hostilities which broke out Saturday. The military restrictions in Athens were tightened. All radio stations were ordered to stay silent. Private automobiles were forbidden to circu- late. The government announced it would open court-martial tomorrow and that rebels would be tried solely by‘ army officers. The Bourse was closed and business practically came to a standstill.

A prediction by Representative Pat- man, Democrat, of Texas that two- thirds of the House and Senate would vote for a bonus payment bill— enough to override a presidential veto —was made today at the opening of congressional hearings on the $2.000,- 000,000 bonus issue. Patman, the frst witness befare the House Ways and Means Commit-~ tee, 8] sessions would be hfldmfi necessary to complete of the %ill by tomorrow. Striking at criticitm that his meas- nmdv eurrency, is inflationary, Patman sai “This is not an lnmt.lomry bill. ‘There’s no danger of inflation.” Could Withdraw Currency. He pointed out that under his plan, if commodity prices rose too rapidly or “danger of inflation” appeared, the Secretary of the Treasury could withdraw other currency from circu- lation as the bonus money was dis- tributed. As another argument, the Texan said: “If this bill were enacted, the cost of relief would not be so great. This money would reach every nook and | cranny of the country. There would be no delay and no chance or possi- bility of graft. “Under this bill, the adjusted com- pensation certificates could be paid without a bond issue, and without an increase in taxes.” Supporters of the American Legion's bonus bill, which does not contain Patman’s new currency provision, are to be heard later. Conceding that there had been some “dispute” among those supporting the two bills, Patman told the committee that he would be “glad to back any measure which sages had been intercepted indicating the insurgents might flee to Italian territory. The radio station at Votanikos re- ported it had heard the wireless sta- tion at Canea, Crete, attempting to (Continued on Page 4, Column 8.)

The meeting of the Senate Sub- eommittee handling the Treasury- Post Office appropriation bill, involv- ing the status of 1,300 Treasury em- ployes who have been working with- out pay since December 1, had to be postponed for this afternoon, until tomorrow or the next day. The subcommittee had expected to settle this afternoon the issue of whether to restore to the pay roll these workers whose salaries were stopped by the McKellar rider on current appropriations. It was found, would carry out the purpose which we had in mind.” “Payment of the bonus comes first with me,” Patman said. “Everything else is secondary. After these hear- ings are over, if everything which the committee desires is not in one bill, I suggest the chairman of the com- mittee introduce a new bill, “There has been some difference of opinion over the method of pay- mept. It would be agreeable to me to put both in the same bill and submit it to the House. “The issue is so well known that 1 feel the House should be allowed to choose.” As one reason for paying the bonus certificates now, Patman estimated that a veteran who had a $1,000 cer- tificate and who had borrowed fully on it would get only $66 when the certificate matured on January 1, 1945, “It is not right,” he argued, “for the Government to cause the veteran to lose the remaining half of his cer- tificate because of interest payments on the first half which he borrowed. however, that members of this sub- committee had to attend other com- mittee meetings this afternoon.

VOICES SUSPICIONS ON DELAY IN REPORT Louisianan Claims Murphy of Philippines Offered Position as Head of Party. BY J. A. O'LEARY. A statement which Senator Huey Long of Louisiana declared he had from “close to the throne” that Post- master General Farley's resignation has been discussed at the White House and that Gov. Gen. of the Philippines Murphy would succeed him climaxed a heated debate in the Senate today in which Democratic Leader Robinson of Arkansas flatly denied any such change was being contemplated. Senator Long, who has been a Senate investigation of the Post- master General, had started out com- menting on the length of time it took Secretary of the Interior Ickes to re- port on a Senate resolution in which Long asked for certain information in connection with his charges. Senators Robinson and Bailey, Democrat, of North Carolina had interrupted to deny there was any unusual delay, when the Louisiana Senator turned to the rumors he said were going around the Capitol todsy regarding the possibility of Farley re- signing. . Says Resignation Discussed. “I have been informed,” Long de- clared, “that the Postmaster Gen- eral’s resignation has already been discussed at the White House.” “I have heard no such rumors,” Robinson interrupted. Long then added he had also heard tkat Governor General Murphy, a former mayor of Detroit, was here or had been here recently, and that re- ports were he was being considered to succeed Farley. Senator !llley mterrupted to make the point that if Murphy had been sent for from the Philippines for any such purpose, the noticse would have had to go out three weeks ago, or before Long had started his charges against Farley. Meanwhile, Senator Robinson hed left the chamber mg‘l’ returning & m “I have made inquiry as to the truth of the statements that Mr. Farley had resigned or contemplated doing so and that Gov. Gen. Murphy was being considered for appointment. I am informed by the highest authority there is not one word of truth in the statement.” “What is the highest authority?” Long inquired. “The President of the United States,” Robinson quickly responded. The rapid fire of debate started shortly after the Senate met when Long arcse to inquire if the Ickes re- port had been received. The Vice President replied that it had not reached the chair yet. Long said there is an old custom “down our way that when you send for a ballot box and it takes two or three weeks to get it, it usually comes back straight.” He added that the Senate had asked for this information regarding certain public works con- tracts three weeks ago. Robinson replied that Long had made “an unwarranted reflection on the Secretary of the Interior.” The Democratic leader then chided Long about his occasional trips back to Louisiana, saying: “The Senator has been absent for a week or so, running the State of Louisiana. The Senator has to di- vide his time and is unable to give us the favor of his presence. long as the State of Louisiana is under martial low he finds it necessary to run down there. He calls the Legis- lature into session nearly every week to pass more bills.” Long Sees Whitewashing.

PRESIDENT CONFERS WITH HOPKINS ON PLAN Administrator Called Back From Chicago by Plane—Break in Deadlock Expected. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Senator Byrd, Democrat of Virginia, foe of the President’s $4,880,000,000 work-relief bill took another potshot in the Senate today. The Virginia Senator introduced & resolution calling on the Secretary of the 'h'euury to furnish immediately an itemized statement of the alloca- tion of the original $3,300,000,000 for public works. Senator Robinson, Democratic leader, blocked immediate consideration by asking that the reso- lution go over a day under the rules. “It has been reported,” said Sena- tor Byrd, “that more than $1,500,- 000,000 has not yet been expended. We are now asked to appropriate another $4,000,000,000 for public works. I thing we are entitled to know what has been done with the money al- ready appropriated and where it has been spent and whether it has been spent, and to know what it is pro- posed to do with the additional money now asked for.” List of Projects Asked. One of the demands made by Senator Byrd in his resolution calls for “a list of projects to which allo- cations of money were mede and the money subsequently impounded, and why impounded.” There have been reports that the cause of the délay of the work-relief bill in the Senate is that the money allocated for projects in States repre- sented by Senators opposing the President’s plan has been withheld. Senator Byrd said he did not in- tend to make eny charges that pres- sure was being brought to bear by|the the sdministration, in this manner, on Senators who supported the Me- Carran prevailing wage amendment. “I do not know anything asbout '.!n'.." lu llld dnuny loe the < tolloving information the public works fund. rl.rn.. total cash disbursement to March 1, 1035. “Second, balance unexpended out of the amount appropriated. “Third, a list of projects, both Fed- eral and non-Federal, and their loca- tions, on which disbursements have been made, the amount of such dis- bursements and an estimate of the cost of completing each project.

Pending passage of the $4,880,000,000 bill now deadlocked in the Senate, funds for current relief allotments have been procured by the Relief Ad- ministration from P. W. A. Rumors spread that the administra- tion might agree to separate the direct relief appropriation of $880,000,000 from the rest of the relief bill to take care of the emergency in the Relief Administration. Hopkins’‘return led observers to be- lieve a major development might be imminent in the struggle over wages in the relief bill. Deadlock Break Expected.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Adoption of a direct subsidy system | disaster January 24 resulted from a | misunderstanding in signals, and con- for merchant vessels in place of the present plan of lending money to shipbuilding and shipping companies and additional financial assistance through ocean mail contracts was pro- posed to Congress today by President Roosevelt. In a special message the President also recommended that the quasi-ju- dicial and legislative duties of the present Shipping Board Bureau of Department of Commerce be transferred for the present to the In- terstate Commerce Commission. his opinion, the purely administrative championing an American Merchant Marine, the President de- clared it to be one of the most firmly established traditions of this republic, and reminded Congress that during the first half of the national existence of America, it was & great and growing asset, but since then has declined in value and importance. The time has come to square this traditional ideal with effective per- formance, the President said. It was pointed out by the Presi- dent in advocacy of his plans for an adequate merchant marine that there should be sufficient ships, not only to carry a reasonable portion of our foreign commerce, but to act in an auxiliary capacity in the event of war, In this respect, he reminded Congress that the lessons learned in the last war should be remembered. Loans Held Failure, Particularly does the President con- sider the lending of money for ship building as having proved a failure. He insists upon a direct subsidy. He declared that there should be an end to subterfuge and that if Con- gress decides it will maintain a rea- sonably adequate Améfican merchant marine, he believes that it should be called what he considers its right name—a subsidy. The President then went on to ex- plain what he believed to be a NEW YORK MILK ACT BAN VOIDED to Low-Cost Buying Outside State Killed by Supreme Court. By the Associated Press. A section of the New York milk control law to orevent sale in New York City of milk bought outside the State at prices lower than those quoted within the State was declared invalid today by the Supreme Court. The act prohibits the lcensing of New York City distributors unless they agree not to purchase low-cost milk outside of the State. The legis- lation was intended to raise the price received by New York producers. State officials were prohibited by the Federal District Court in New York City from interfering with sles of G. A. F.

TWO CENTS. SWANSON ORDERS WCARL'S RULING ON PAYMENTS BE IGNORED BY NAVY Secretary Declares He Will Look to Attorney General and Court of Claims for Expenditure Guidance. CONTROLLER GENERAL HITS BACK IN LETTER Present Fight Revolves Around Allowances to Dependents of Naval Officers Sent Home From Posts for Retirement—Cum- mings Comes in for Attack. BY J. A. FOX. In an unprecedented move, Secre- tary of the Navy Swanson has served notice upon Controller General Mc- Carl that he will not be bound by the latter’s rulings on expenditures, but will look to the Attorney General and Court of Claims for guidance. This was disclosed today when it was said that it was the first time that the authority of McCarl, for 14 years the last word on the legality of Government expenditures, had been so0 bluntly challenged. The conflict between the two officers was disclosed when McCarl made pub- lic a letter to Swanson in which he takes the latter to task without minc- ing words and declares that the prin- ciple of the act setting up the General Accounting Office as an independent establishment free from partisan or | political influence would be junked if Swanson’s views prevailed. McCarl Hits at Cummings. At the same time McCarl again hit at Attorney General Cummings who is represented as lining up with the Navy head, repeating as he said some time ago in a controversy that the regulation of Government ex- penditures is not within the province of that official. Particular significance was added to the new controversy because of Mc- Carl's recent decision blocking the “New Deal” promotions. The present case revolves around the old fight of the Navy to obtain travel- ing expenses for dependents of naval officers sent home for retirement from some post of duty. They get these al- lowances when the shift is between . | posts, but McCarl has held that when a retirement order is involved they are not allowable, and has fallen back upon the Supreme Court to support his contention. McCarl Rulings to Be Ignored. The Swanson letter, to which Mc- Carl's communication was a reply. ad- vised that these allowances were to be made, and. it was said. took the broader view that “Attorney General's opinions and the decisions of the Court of Claims (will) be hereafter followed” despite any McCarl decision holding a particular appropriation is not legally available for proposed ad- ministrative use. Swanson has instructed his office to ignore McCarl’s rulings holding up the allowances. McCarl's letter says Swanson ad- vised him that he had directed that “Attorney Generals’ oponions and the decisions of the Court of Claims be hereafter followed” and naval in- struction be made accordingly. “As you apparently contemplate ordering accountable officers under your military control to make pay- ments from public moneys intrusted to them as advances from appropria- tions for purposes determined by this office to be not within the law. and thus for which the appropriation is not legally available, it is assumed you fully appreciate the seriousness of your proposed action,” McCarl said. “You are aware, of course, that such accountable officers and their (Continued on Page 4, Column 1.)
