WALLACE IN THICK OF BITTER ATTACK Sentiment Grows to Curb Proposed A. A. A. Licens- ing Amendments. By the Associated Press. Sentiment for rigid restriction of Secretary Wallace's proposed A. A. A licensing powers developed further on Capitol Hill today to intensify the feud over the administration’s farm program. Despite word that Wallace and Ad- ministrator Chester C. Davis insist they must have the “clarifying” licensing amendments now locked in the House Agriculture Committee, one congressional farm leader said bluntly they have a “fat chance of getting them.” This authoritative spokesman, who would not be quoted, predicted that any licensing powers given the A. A. A. would be limited to milk and non- basic crops—a sharp curtailment of Wallace's original request that he be empowered to impose licensing and marketing agreements if 50 per cent of the processors wanted them. or if two-thirds the producers in a given area desired it. Once already the House committee has approved the licensing amend- ment after excluding all basic com- modities except sugar, tobacco and milk. Strenuous opposition forced the bill back into committee. Today's de- velopments indicated that when the measure comes out again, sugar and tobacco also will have oeen eliminated. Blanket Licensing Scouted. Also, the committee was regarded as certain to assure retailers they will not be licensed in any blanket fashion. Facing organized defiance by cot- ton manufacturers in the North, new drought dangers in the West, a bit- ter attack by Gov. Talmadge of Georgia in the South and congres- slonal dissatisfaction with his A. A. A amendments, Wallace was midst of the battle of his life. The A. A. A, fighting back, gave | indications of counting heavily on the support of farmers to prevent its policles from being altered beyond recognition. Chester C. Davis, farm administrator and one of Wallace's right-hand men. declared he expected farmers to come to A. A. A’'s support. Though without referring specifical- 1y to any critics, Davis said that “since the farm program is a developing thing. probably it would be the health- test move to bring this whole fight into the open right now Textiles to Go to Court. Meeting in Boston yesterday, North- ern cotton manufacturers planned “le- gal action” against the processing tax —which is levied on manufacturers to get money to pay cotton planters for curbing production. The manufac- turers maintain the resultant higher prices are ruinous to the industry. ‘The same meeting of the Policy Committee of the National Cotton Manufacturers’ Association assailed Wallace for “inciting the farmers of the South and West to combine against an industry.” Apparently striking back at attacks | on the processing tax, the A. A. A. cited figures today to support the ar- gument that the agricultural adjust- ment program is restoring the farm market for industrial goods. Davis said in a statement that waybills of | four Southeastern railroads showed shipments of industrial commodities, exclusive of coal, from 16 industrial States of the Northeast and Midwest | to 10 Southeastern agricultural States increased from 2,104,585,201 pounds in the year preceding the recovery program, to 2,920,887,439 in the year immediately after its adoption. At the same time, the statement con- tinued, the cash income of farmers in the Southeastern States Increased 59.9 per cent. Talmadge Takes Issue. After Wallace had reiterated that the cotton textile industry was in difficulties in past times when there was no processing tax, and that re- moval of the tax would not benefit the mills materially, Gov. Talmadge attacked the tax in particular and Pederal spending in general. “That brain truster crowd in Wash- ington * * * celled us radicals,” he said, in a speech at Murphy, N. C., “and the last spasm we had was the spectacle Saturday night of Secretary Wallace speaking to farmers at Wes- ley Memorial Church in Atlanta, where the only farmers that ever go are tiose who have offices in big buildings. “He said that anybody that criticized them for killing hogs and plowing up cotton were radicals. We people in the South know you can't borrow yourself out of debt, make water run up hill and drink yourself sober.” Mass Interview Planned. Meanwhile the textile bloc in the House gathered statistics for presenta- tion to the President at a mass inter- view to be held late in the week, probably on Friday, at which between 380 and 50 House members are expected to be present.

THE -EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.A.R.CANDIDATES TAKE LIMELIGHT Formal Opening Over, Con- vention Turns Attention to Office Seekers. (Continued From First Page) _ Roper, wife of the Secretary of Com- merce, and includes both condidates for president general. Meantime, the pages will hold a | dance tonight at the Mayflower as guests of the president general and | the National Board of Management. Mrs. George Madden Grimes is chair- man of the Pages’ Dance Committee. In addition to Mrs. Magna's an- nual report the national officers pre- | sented their reports today to the | morning session of the congress. The last accounting of her “stew- | ardship” for the year was given to the soclety today by Mrs. Magna, in | &n annual report on the widely varied work of the organization. Explaining the society was faced with difficulties through depression vears, Mrs. Magna reported at the close of her three-year term that “we reefed the sails of our society’s ship to the prevailing winds, and with an eye to the weather have managed our three-year course and steered into our final port of this term with the hull intact. barnacle free, our cargo safe, and a good bill of health for all on board.” Mrs. Magna expressed deep appre- ciation for the loyal suport of her as- | | sociates in the organization, and de- clared that results obtained in all Lranches of the wide-spread educa- tional, and other programs of the or- ganization were gratifying. “We can turn with just pride to | steady activities and steady growth,” she sald. “The society is in a splen- did condition.” She could see “no immediate necessity of any suggestion for raising dues.” Constitution Hall was referred to by Mrs. Magna in both her report today and annual address last night. Much attention had been given the subject, she explained. Explaining she was “justly proud of the fact that over a nine-year period the society has never had even a 2 per cent shrinkage on pledged money,” Mrs. Magna said she was confident the debt on the hall “will be canceled before this congress adjourns.” The debt on Constitution Hall, it was explained by Katherine Arnold Nettleton, treasurer general, had been cut down from $566,500 April 1, 1932, year, a curtailment of about $381,500. Figures show that membership dur- ing three years suffered a loss, Mrs. Nettleton said, but there were more | applicants and reinstatements during the past year than at any time since 1921, she said. The general fund she reported as of March 31, 1934, at $181584.74; re- ceipts this year, $264,983.58 plus a recall—Constitution Hall wear and tear fund loan, $6,600—making total receipts of $453,168.35. Total dis- bursements were listed at $215,375; also transferred to the permanent fund $48,500, leaving on hand March 31, this year, $189,292.51. Expanding work of the library was reported by Mrs. Frank Madison Dick, librarian general. “The interest in bookplates has steadily increased during the past three years,” she said, “our collection numbering between 3,000 and 4,000— American and foreign. The largest number, about 1,500 was presented by Mrs. William H. Harvey through Bos- ton Tea Party Chapter. THese book- plates are being arranged, classified and mounted in designed volumes, the work being done by Mrs. Clifford Berryman, to whose knowledge and skilled assistance the library is deeply indebted.” Many gifts were acknowledged, in- cluding the Virginia historical index, compiled by Dr. E. G. Swem, from the Virginia organization, D. A. R., in honor of State regent, Mrs. Charles B. Keesee. MELLON CASE TURNS ON BOND PURCHASE Government to Go Over Papers Dealing With Transfer of $8,200,000 Securities. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, April 16.—Given authority to look into the Bethlehem of the McClintic-Marshall Corp., the Government in Andrew W. Mellon's tax case today also prepared to go over Union Trust Co. papers dealing with the purchase of $8,200,000 in Bethlehem bonds. " The bonds were issued and sold to the trust company as a part of the transaction in 1931 whereby Bethle- hem took over $21,000,000 in Mc- Clintic-Marshall, received $2,460,000 of the bonds, sold half of them at a profit and paid tax. Mellon did not pay tax on approxi- mately $5,000,000 received in bonds and stocks, claiming they were tax exempt because the transaction was a merger. The Government, terming the deal a sale, contends Mellon should pay $1,000,000 more. At the request of F. R. Shearer, Government attorney, the Tax Board of Appeals issued a subpoena for the Union Trust records concerning the | Bethlehem bond sale. ) . Love Tangle FELL-DONOHUE-BARRIE REPORTS CONFLICT. Copyright, A. P. Wirephotos. Dorothy Fell, prominent New York society girl (upper), yesterday denied that she would wed Wool- worth Donohue (center) after press reports that he had called Wendie Barrie (below) at Hollywood to ask her permission to announce his engagement to Miss Fell. Young Donohue, heir to share of the Wool- worth fortune, at Palm Beach de- clined to make any statement. Miss Barrie, English actress, maintains, however, that Donohue phoned her long distance asking her permission to announce the engagement. The formal engagement of Miss Fell to ‘Woolworth Donohue was announced previously on September 27, 1933, by Mrs. Ogden Mills, Miss Fell's mother, but was broken in Janu- ary, 1934. Marriner S.

BYRNS LECTURES HOUSE FOR SLOW ACTION ON BILLS (Continued From First Page) sent calendar, both of which have more than 100 minor bills on them awaiting action, and a tax extension bill. “I want again to emphasize the magnitude of the task before us and the importance of giving our atten- tion to the job,” he concluded. “If we are thinking about an early adjournment of Congress—and I am sure we all are—we've got to stay here on the job.” Representative Snell of New York, the House Republican leader, followed Byrns with the assertion that “we, too, are interested in getting the pro- gram completed and winding up the business of this Congress as early as possible.” He added, however, that the “pro- gram of the House is up to the ma- Jority party.” “If we have not made progress,” Snell continued, “it is because the people who are responsible for the program do not bring in legislation that we can continue.” Byrns had remarked that there had been some criticism throughout the country of Congress on the ground that it was “dilatory.” He reminded, however, that the present Congress did not meet until January—because j the Norris lame duck amendment be- | came operative—instead of December | as in the past. Consequently, he asserted, it was impossible for the House to get its machinery organized and ready for functioning before the latter part of January. He mentioned particularly the fact that the House had to adjourn early yesterday because members who had asked to peak on the social security bill were not on the floor to make their speeches. He suggested that if the members who had been granted time out of the 23 hours allotted to debate where not present when their names were called, then the time should be given to others. Doughton Feels “Responsible.” Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of North Cafolina of the Ways and Means Committee, who is in charge of the social security bill on the floor, conceded that he felt “somewhat re- sponsible” for the early adjournment yesterday, and added that “I shall in- sist that those members who do want to sneak be present when the time comes.” It was emphasized by Representa- tive Knutson, Republican, of Minne- sota that when members were not present on the floor they were work- ing either in committees or in their offices. He said he felt the impres- sion should not go out that the mem- bers were “playing hookey when we're | not.” THREE ALLIES JOIN IN “CONDEMNATION” OF REICH IN GENEVA (Continued From First Page.) vote & test of whether Poland is throwing her political interest into the camp of Germany or France. It is believed that if Poland fails to support France, Laval may refrain from visiting Warsaw during his pro- jected visit to Moscow later this month. It is expected he and Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet commissar for for- eign affairs, will initial while they are together here the projected Franco-Soviet defensive agreement, which the French insist is not a military alliance. Meanwhile League circles saw Dan- ish Schleswig, which has a strong German minority, beginning to appear as one of the “tender” spots of Europe. Observers find Denmark’s pro- nounced hostility to any castigation of Germany as a reflection of the troublesome situation in Schleswig where Nazis are said to be steadily increasing their influence. Denmark is said to be worried over the situation and anxious to give Germany no cause for reprisals. Large sums of money are reported to have been sent into the Danish prov- ince from German cities for the pur- pose of promoting Nazi domination. The Associated Press was informed by a French spokesman that the reso- lution draft as couched at the moment, “condemns the policy” which led to Reichsfuehrer Hitler's rearmament declaration March 16. This phrase, it was said, has been' composed care- fully so ‘as to seem not to be a con- demnation of Germany, but of Ger- man policy. Indications were that the Little and Balkan ententes—Yugoslavia, Czecho- slovakia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey—were prepared to assent Leader, Over 110,000 In The United ' States to the rearmament of Austria, Hun- gary and Bulgaria, but only on the condition they accept binding security pacts. OUTBREAKS GRIP CORRIDOR. One Killed, Property Wrecked in Anti-German Riots. By the Associated Press. GDYNIA, Poland, April 16.—Re- inforced police squads patrolled com- munities in Pomorze (the Polish Cor- ridor) today as a precaution against renewed outbreaks of anti-German | rioting. Violent disorders of the last few @ days have left one Nazi dead, sev- eral seriously wounded, about 100 shops wrecked and scores of windows smashed in the homes of members of the German minority. A German official spokesman ex- pressed the opinion the Reich govern- ment has made no decision on what steps to take in view of the demon- strations. It was explained the Polish government possibly hopes to avert a German protest by a “quick note of regret.” 15 Drown in Rio Magdalena.

C, TUESDAY, A HEARINGS 10 OPEN ON BANKING BILL Friday Set by Glass Sub- committee—Put Off Eccles Decision. By the Associated Press. The Glass Banking Subcommittee today decided to begin hearings on the controverted omnibus bank bill Friday, but deferred action for several days on the nomination of Marriner 8. Eccles of Utah as governor of the Federal Reserve Board. Immediately after the executive ses- sion Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir- ginia, an opponent of Eccles and sec- tions of the banking bill, left to keep an engagement at the White House. Chairman Fletcher of the full Banking Committee said after a talk with President Roosevelt yesterday the Executive wanted the whole bill considered and acted upon, and was opposed to separating the sections giving the Reserve Board increased powers over credit and currency. Crowley First Witness. Glass said Leo T. Crowley, chair- man of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., would be the first witn:ss on the bank bill, hearings on which have been going on for more than a month before the House Banking Committee. Crowley will appear on titie 1 making permanent the existing tem- porary deposit insurance provisions. He will be followed by J. F. T. O'Con- nor, controller of the currency, who will testify on titles 1 and 3, the lat- ter making scores of minor changes in the national bank laws. Hearings to Be Lengthy. The Federal Reserve sections will be considered later. “How long will the hearings last?” Gllss was asked. “Quite & while,” he rzplied. He explained the subcommittee took no action on the long pending Eccles nomination today because several members wanted to read th2 opinion of the Reserve Board counsel holding Eccles had qualified for the governor- ship by disposing of his stock in the Pirst Securities Corp., Eccles bank holding company of Ogden, Utah. COMMITTEE VOTES TO DEMAND REPORT ON FOULOIS PROBE (Continued From First Page.) Army planes carried the mail after Postmaster General Farley canceled | private airmail contracts on the grounds of collusion. Law Evasion Try Charged. Roger's commitiee has contended | that Foulois, in handling $7,500, 000 public works fund set aside for the | purchase of airplanes and equipment, attempted to evade the law by seekin, to negotiate contracts instead of lel ting them by competitive bids. When the subcommittee made its initial attack against Foulois, he as- serted its accusations were ‘‘unfair and unjust” and expressed willingness to meet his accusers in open court “at any time” He said it was to be “regretted” that the committee hear- ings had been conducted secretly. Foulois, one of the Army's first fiyers, was much in the news when the Air Corps shouldered mail flying. He contended Army aircraft accidents while carrying the mail were not ex- cessive although flying conditions dur- ing that period were bad. Soon after the demand for Foulois’ removal was made by the House in- vestigators, Secretary Dern informed the subcommittee its recommendations were not based on a full and com- | plete hearing. Later he talked with the group and ordered the inspector general of the Army to begin an in- | | quiry. Mine Disaster Reported.

During a round-table conference | at the close of the formal program, | speakers openly charged two Wash- ington churches of radical preachings against “patriotism and the bearing of arms in defense of the country,” and declared this was directly re- sponsible for increased radical ten-| dencies of the American youth. Rexford L. Holmes, council secre- tary, who is also chairman of the| Committee on Un-American Activities | in the Churches, asserted one Wash- ington pastor declared from the pulpit, “there will be millions who will never | fight in the next war and I will be one of them.” The council criticized those churches which, they said, had commended the students of the coun- | try in their strike against war nnd Fascism. Earlier in_the program the council had heard Rear Admiral P. S. Ros- | siter, surgeon general of the Navy, vigorously charge the public school | and university teachers with “poison- | ing the minds of their pupils with | teachings of Communism, Pacifism and Atheism.” | “We must no longer relax discipline of our children and our school teach- ers” Admiral Rossiter said. “I hope there will arise in the parents of our future leaders an indignation against such teachings in the schools and in the churches so that these forces may be wiped out.” Holmes told the council he saw a ray of hope for a chauge in present tendencies in communications he had received from Rev. James Shera | Montgomery, chaplain of the House of | Representatives, and Rev. Z. Barnee Phillips, pastor of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany.
