In informal chats with individual correspondents Gen, Goering declared emphatically that Germany is not thinking of putting the Reichswehr into the demilitarized Rhineland zone, as this would be a violation of the Locarno Treaty.

The Reich is buying air defense in- | ventions wherever it can obtain them, | “whether the man be | Goering said, heathen; Christian or Jew.” “Inventions do not have grand- mothers whose race must be probed,” declared the air minister. Demands Parity With France. Goering demanded air parity with France, but not with Russia, which he apparently regards as an Asiatic power. Turning to the discussion of Zep- pelins, Goering said he regarded them as useless in modern warfare because they are too expensive and too easily destroyed. He said Germany would not build airplane carriers, adding that Ger- many’s purposes are purely defensive and her planes can start from land and return to land. AIR EXPANSION REVEALED. MacDonald States Intention in Com- mons Address (Copsright. 1935. by the Associated Press.) LONDON, May 2—Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald anncunced today the British government “already is taking steps for a further accelerated expansion of the British air forces” in order to maintain parity with neighboring powers.

At the Capitol friends of Garnett and Police Supt. Ernest W. Brown filed protests with the House District Committee against approval of the crime report in its present form. At the court house Garnett worked | on a report to answer the Crime Com- | mittee’s charges that he is incom- | petent and should be immediately | removed. Following a statement by H. Win- | ship Wheatley, president of the Dis- trict Bar Association, repudiating the interpretation placed on his testi- | mony by the House Crime Commit- | tee, the Barristers Club today called a meeting for tomorrow night to dis- cuss what action, if any, should be taken by the club in connection with the committee’s report. Bar Also May Meet. Ernest F. Henry, president of the Barristers, an organization composed of young members of the bar, an- nounced the meeting will be heid at 8 o'clock in the Cosmos Club. It was also reported individual mem- bers of the Bar Association, believing that organization should take some action concerning the report, are en- deavoring to call a meeting of the association.

The Virginia delegation headed by Representative Bland of Hampton al- ready has placed a protest against the removal of Garnett before Chairman Norton of the House District Commit- tee, which yesterday refused to pass upon the crime report until the tran- script of the hearings are printed.

SECURITY AND BANKING MEASURES ARE SCORED Both Would Be Delayed by C. of C. Members—President Withholds Message. BY J. A. FOX, In a session marked by hot debate. American business, as represented in the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, broke difinitely today with President Roosevelt on the pro- gram of “must” legislation which the Chief Executive outlined in his fire- side talk to the Nation Sunday night. The chamber in its final session called for “abandonment” of the bill | to abolish holding companies, asked | for delay pending study by Congress | of banking legislation and called for ! deferment of the social security pro- | gram “until recovery is assured.” | The chamber acted after hearing Secretary of State Hull, who warned that “economic isolation” character- | izing international relations, was| menacing the peace of the world. | Following the speech the business men | adopted a resolution on foreign trade calling for support of the “reciprocal | trade agreements” to which this | country is committed. Committee Overridden. ‘The battle in the chamber over the | social securities bill was as warm, if | not warmer, than any that organiza- tion ever had witnessed, and the prin- | ciple which it finally adopted over-! rode the resolution that the Commit- tee on Resolutions had proposed. Whereas the latter would have com- i mitted the chamber to the principle | of aid for the present aged indigent and would have asked for deferment | of the rest of the program until the next session of Congress, with study to be given in the meanwhile, the res- | olution as finally adopted puts the ' whole subject in an indefinite status | pending study. | Henry 1. Harriman, retiring presi- | dent of the Chamber of Commerce, | who today is being succeeded by Har- | per L. Sibley, took the floor in behalf | of the committee resolution urging the chamber not to go along against the principle of helping the aged who are needy, but he could not stem the tide. ‘The fight for putting off the matter was led by Illinois representatives. ‘When the resolution first was pre- sented Thomas Creigh of the Chicago Association of Commerce took the floor | and asked that action be delayed, ex- | plaining that he represented a “group” | of manufacturers who did not under- stand the sense of the resolution. His motion was seconded by T. J.| Mahoney of the New York Association | of Commerce. | Substitute Adopted. When the matter was brought up | again, after the Chamber had gone through the grist of its other reso- lutions, the substitute was presented by the supporting group, among whose 5] en was Ray Wantz, president of the Ilinois Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, The resolution which this group supported expresses doubt whether it is within the province of the Federal Government to embark on the field of social security, While the debate was in progress the issue raised by President Roose- velt's failure to send some greeting to | the chamber was brought to the floor | when Francis E. Powell, head of the | | American Chamber of Commerce of | London, arose to inquire if the chlm-i ber was not going to give some ex- pression to disabuse the country of the idea that it “is definitely antag- onistic to the administration.” Harriman said that as a resolution the proposal was not in order at the time. It was not raised again. On the subject of the N. R. A., the chamber reiterated its previous views, which amount to self-regulation of business, and opposed some proposed amendments to the agricultural ad- justment act. Hull Addresses Greup. | Amid signs of hostility between | President Roosevelt and the Chamber | of Commerce, Secretary Hull went before the chamber’s convention this morning to attack what he called “un- scrupulous resistance” to the Roose- velt program of lowering tariffs in negotiating reciprocal trade treaties.

Senators preparing to conduct a sweeping investigation into the han- dling of relief watched today to see if | Harry L. Hopkins, relief administrator, | would make good his latest threat to | withhold Federal funds from States refusing to make requested contribu- | tions. | Numerous developments pointed to the possibility of an immediate show- | down on F. E. R. A.'s efforts to force | State officials into line. | Chief among them was the fact that Hopkins was at work on grants to be | made today or tomorrow from the | $100,000,000 fund which he asked President Roosevelt to set aside yes- | terday for May relief needs. He was aware that the Tllinois House of Representatives, faced by the threat that Federal funds would be cut off at midnight last night unless the State agreed to raise $3,000,000 monthly for relief, had rebuffed = | sales tax proposal to meet the ulti- | matum. In the Illinois State House it | was rumored that Hopkins stood ready to take over the State’s relief adminis- tration and assume full responsibility for the care of its 1.165.897 on relief. Missouri Provides Funds. Pennsylvania, with 1866,819 de- pendent on relief payments, likewise had failed to comply with a Federal | demand for larger contributions. Sev- eral other States were in the same category. Missouri moved only yes- terday to get under the wire by pass- ing a bill appropriating $500,000 for relief this month. Apparently mindful of these situa- tions, the Senate yesterday sent its | Appropriations Committee into a gen- eral investigation of the distribution | of relief funds.

Its cost has been esti- mated at more than either of the two other leading proposals. Harrison's compromise, which was presented ‘o the Senate by Chairman Harrison of the Finance Committee in an effort to obtain legislation satisfac- tory to the administration, would move ! the issuance date of the certificates back to the end of the war and cash their current redemption value. In the average case that would be $770 instead of $1,000. Veterans in Galleries. Senator Thomas, Democrat. of Okla- homa, or Senator Connally, Democrat, of Texas, was expected to offer the Pat- man bill, which passed the House, as a third alternative. It wolld pay the certificates in full out of new currency, while the Vinson bill would provide for payment as any other Treasury obligation is paid, out of existing money., The galleries were crowded as the Senate debated the long-pending and biterly-disputed bonus issue, with many veterans among the spectators. Only the private galleries were not overflowing. The bill offered by Harrison would date the adjusted service certificates back to 1918 and pay 4 per cent inter- est from that time. Veterans would have the alternatives of holding the certificates until 1945. as originally provided, or cashing them now for their current value. The average $1,000 certificate would call for the immediate payment of $770—if the holder has not borrowed against it. However, 85 per cent of the veterans have borrowed, and owe an average of $590. Thus they would be entitled to only $180 cash. 1945"Payment, $1,115. If a veteran who has not borrowed should hold his certificate until 1945 he could collect $1,115. . Under one proposal to liberalize this plan, the interest rate would be in- from 4 to 5 per cent. The bonus became uhe subject of Senate debate vesterday, soon after Genator Borah, Republican. of Iaaho making a speech which recalled some of his famous oratorical feats of the past, had sailed 1ato the Cosugan- Wagner anti-lynching bill as embody- ing a principle that would “utterly break down all State sovereignty.” Many Senators credited Boran with breaking the seven-day deadlock. ‘While filibustering Southerners dis- played jubiliation. several Republicans and Democrats 15 their cause. ‘The Senate, by -20-32 margin, voted to adjourn.

The woman, Miss Bessie Carter, was instantly killed, while the officer, Car- | roll N. House, 40, was dead on arrival at Garfield Hospital.

The vote in committee was 13 to 4. The resolution was reported in the |same form that it was introduced in | the Senate late yesterday by Senator | Clark, Democrat. of Missouri, who \ongimled the proposal as a substi- tute for the administration bill re- vising the N.

He voted against the joint resolution in com- mittee yesterday, however. | Tt is estimated in some quarters ‘thlt the passage of the joint resolu- tion, limiting all business that may come under the codes strictly to inter- state business, may reduce by 50 per cent the present extent of the N.

It is expected that Senator Harrison of Mississippi, chairman of the Finance Committee, will ask to have the N. R. A. joint resolution taken up as soon as the soldiers’ bonus bill has been disposed of by the Upper House. The bonus bill was made the unfinished business of the Senate late yesterday, following the side-tracking of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bil. Debate on the bonus bill was begun in the Senate today. When the Senate shall have acted upon the N. R. A. joint resolution, it will go to the House. That body may draft different legislation, perhaps in line with the President’s bill extend- ing the N. R. A. for two years. In that case the whole thing might be thrown into conference. If a new bill should emerge from conference, how= | ever, providing for a two-year exten- sion’ of the N. R. A, the conference | report might have great difficulty | getting through the Senate. Time is | the essence in this case, for unless Congress acts before June 16, the N. R. A, will expire. Veto Is Not Expected. The chairman of the Finance Com- | mittee. Senator Harrison, intimated | that he would not go forward with the | joint resolution proposal unless he had | some assurances from the House | leaders and from the White House | they would fall in with it, before he | took the proposal to President Roose- | velt last week. It is generally under- stood that the President will not veto such a joint resolution if it is pre- sented to him although he prefers the two-year extension of the N. R.
