(Continued From First Page.) be vastly lowered; the income of the Government will rise and the budget will be balanced.” Harriman's speech was warmly re- ceived, but & more marked demon- stration was accorded Forney Johnson of Birmingham, longtime general counsel of the Seaboard Airline Rail- way and the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities, who administered a lashing attack on ad- ministration policies and personalities. Many of his hearers arose and cheered at the conclusion of his ad- dress. Ames Charges Bungling. Some vigorous language also came et a luncheon session, C. B. Ames, chatrman of the Texas Co., assailing what he called “the bungling effort of Washington bureaucracy to regi-| ment American business.” Ames, who a few months ago headed a group of 100 major busi- ness leaders in a recovery conference proposed that the new N. R. A, pro- vide only for voluntary codes. He declared “the best thing about N. I R. A, N. R. A, the Blue Eagle and the administration of them is the fact that public sentiment has repudiated them.” On the opening program ajso was A. | 0. Dawson of Montreal, president of the | Canadian Chamber of Commerce, who discussed economic conditions in the | Dominion, which he said “has seen | a sound recovery, due in large meas- ure to the natural rebound from | depressed conditions, to improvement | in Great Britain and the United States and to the fact that business has been on the job.” Sees Hope in Critics. In his review, Harriman, who is dropping the reins at the Chamber after three years and probably will be succeeded by a classmate of President Roosevelt, Harper Sibley of Iilinois, cast up the encouraging and dis- | couraging factors as he sees them. | He commented in passing that the “growing spirit of criticism” of the administration “is, to my mind, evi-| dence of real recovery, and an indica- | tion that the crisis in our economic life is passing.” On the favorable side, he enumer- ated growing employment, particularly in the last five months; gain in construction; a $400,000,000 increase in dividends in 1934 over 1933: bank- ing stabilization and availability of capital; refunding activities and high- er farm income. There also was a word of praise for the $4.880,000,000 work-relief| program. “Many doubt the advisability of the huge program of Government expenditures which has recently been adopted by Congress,” he said. “The | Chamber's position was that the general appropriation for relief for the succeeding year should be $2,000,- 000,000 instead of $4,000,000,000, but it cannot be doubted that the expen- diture of this vast sum by the Federal Government will stimulate business during the next fiscal year.” “But there are also very substantial | entries on the debit side of the ledger,” | the speaker continued. “Business Is" justly apprehensive of the increasing interference of Government in the affairs of business, as exemplified in some features of the N. R. A, the A. A A and the T. V. A; of the growth of our debts and taxes; of the ever growing number of those on re-| lief; of unsound labor laws, such as| the bill for a 30-hour week, and the labor disputes bill; of the increased burdens that will suddenly be placed upon business by measures for the creation of social reserves, desirable sn their idealism, but unsound in some of their practical applications; of a destructive, rather than regula- tory, utility holding company bill, and of fantastic scheines for the shar- ing of wealth through taxation. Busi- ness has a genuine fear that the initiative of the American people and the spirit of its institutions, which have carried America so far on the march of human progress, are to be stifled by a mass of governmental ge- strictions and regulations.” Johnson Stirs Audience. In his summation, Johnson brought many in the audience to their feet when he said: | “The sooner our people understand | that this continent was clvilized by a self-reliant majority, that this Gov- | ernment was founded by a self-reliant | majority, that the system of private ownership of property and private | operation of business, free from com- | petition by the National Government | is bedded in our lives and habits, and | is the only status contemplated by the | Constitution, the sooner can all citi- gens, including the unemployed, bend their energies toward a confident re- covery. In so doing they will progress more surely toward adequate and dis- criminating relief of dependent un- employed as a recognized by-product of social organization but not as the principal aim or function of Govern- ment in any Western civilization. “The alternative is for the admin- {stration to permit the drift, sensibly | agency for extracting from the peeple ) THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

He declared, “I find general con- currence in the impression that up to this date American business is re- garded by the administration as under suspicion if not en trial. , “This is, in part, a heritage, not yet liquidated, of the campaign of 1932.” he continued, “kept alive by the ‘culti- vation of nostility toward specific groups against which the administra- tion proposed to direct legislation. | American business, as & whole; had | little relation to these matters., but the spirit behind them was all in- | clusive and the administration has been manned by authors, theorists and broadcasters who apparently regard profitable commerce as a crime, or as & semi-discreditable but necessary the funds necessary to run the Gov- ernment. If the administration does not entertain the same views, that fact has not penetrated the hinterland of business or the sometime bumptious lieutenant presidents who are admin- istering the United States between speeches.” Another statement met applause when Johnson defending business said: “If it (business) is vicious, it | has required a century and a half to discover it. Its monument is the most efficient plant and the most compe- tent personnel for the production of wealth in the civilized world today. | Man for man, and motive for motive, I should cast my vete for American business in a net value contest with | Congress, the legislators, the liberals | or the political hog callers now broad- | casting to their followers to line up' for their unearned share of the liqui- | dation of American industry.” Dawson, the Canadian, government in business, and said that “the great need of Canada at the moment is to continue on our road to recovery, rather than to introduce reforms which may be only experi- mental and not practical.” At & group conference on taxation, Mark Graves, tax commissioner of the State of New York, urged that “we| surrender the soak-the-rich policy and | recognize frankly the need for lower | personal exemptions and more sharply | graduated taxes in the lower brackets of income and inheritances.” and to the gift tax. | HONOR FOR FIESTA Sophomore Chosen Queen in Contest Conducted by G.

I, April 30.— Depressions roughly resembling the shape of bodies were discovered today on the grounds of the Warwick Villa of Carl Rettich, suspected gang leader, acrording to an announcement by Police Lieut. Ernest F. Stenhouse. Lieut. Stenhouse announced work- men would be detalled to excavate the depressions immediately. He said the depressions were “two or three in number.” Investigators of the so-called Provi- dence gang, which, among other crimes, is charged with the $129,000 Fall River postal robbery of last Jan- | uary, repeatedly have expressed the belief that several gangsters missing from their customary haunts have been slain, Veritable Arsenal Found: Ten emergency relief workers and | State police continued to dig up the | grounds and tear apart Rettich’s pala- | tial villa in search of loot, arms and | clues.
