SIBLEY LAUNCHES BANK BILL FIGHT U. S. C. of C. Head in Letter to Members Outlines Objections. By the Associated Press. Harper Sibley, new president of the Chamber of Ccmmerce of the United States, last night started a fight on the administration’s bill to strengthen Federal Reserve Board control over money and credit. In a letter to the 1,500 member or- ganizations of the Chamber of Com-/ merce, which already is on record| against it, Sibley outlined many ob- Jections to the proposal, including cur- rency deterioration, lower banking standards, injuries to business credit and facilitation of “dangerous infla- He said it was in the “interest of business” that Federal Reserve sec- tions of the banking measure now be- fore the Glass Senate subcommittee should not become law. Ignores Statements. In assailing the bill as meaning “virtual creation of a central bank,” Sibley did not touch on Secretary Morgenthau's recent open advocacy of Federal ownership of the reserve sys- tem and President Roosevelt's state- ment that such a step would help solve many problems. Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir- ginia already has challenged the ad- ministration to ask officially for in- clusion of a central bank in the bill, but the White House has given mno| sign of making such a request.

A Tells House Committee 10 Months’ Extension Per- ils Recovery. (Continued From First Page.) contended “there must be something less than candor, something less than forthright antagonism” to clip the Blue Eagle’s wings. Turning to the Senate’s bar against | codes affecting intrastate commerce, he described that as “a loose and vague phrase” which “opens the door to universal evasion of code require- ments.” Furthermore, Richberg argued, the Senate’s limited extension resolution “effectively wipes out the Federal Alcohol Control Administration and denies to the Federal Government any effective control over the liquor traffic.” Turning again to this argument for a two-year extension, Richberg said: “The Congress can at any session revise or repeal the law * * *, There can be no possible injury to | the public interest in trying to im- | prove the existing law today.” Richberg described as “vague” the Senate resolution’s ban on price fix- ng. restraint of trade. That already is forbidden by existing law, he argued. Wants Price Fixing Defined. “The resolution should be re- written,” he said. “If it is the inten- tion to prevent price fixing which maintains artificial price levels, the language should state that. The N. R. A. would welcome such a defi- nition. “Let not the Congress give us such a vague, sweeping and unworkable provision.” If “Congress emasculates the act,” he asserted, then Congress would be | held responsible. “I do not believe a majority in either | House will vote for an unworkable | law merely to put the administration | in the hole.” Richberg said, departing | from his prepared statement. He cited the coal industry as an| | example of the impediments arising out of uncertainty. He explained that labor and other uncertainties in a large part of that business were giving no end of trouble to its mem- bers, who had to depend on making contracts a year ahead, and that this was a good illustration of what would happen throughout if N. R. A. were extended only nine months. Cites Record of Litigation. The administrator also emphasized that with litigation in process on various fronts the short extension would be disrupting. “There has been considerable mis- understanding through reports that the N. R. A. was seeking to avoid liti- gation,” he said. “In the first place, it is impossible to avoid it, and in the second place, the N. R. A. has ini- tiated litigation. Incidentally, our score on decisions is enormously in favor of the N. R. A, although the few adverse District Court decisions have received wide publicity. “There has not been a single Cir- cuit Court of Appeals that has ruled against the N. R. A. as a whole. “Litigation is necessary and must go on, but is it to be permitted to do 50 in an orderly fashion, or must the program just go hobbling along?” “If the Congress believed the N. R. A, to be a failure and bad beyond re- demption,” Richberg said, “it should accept the responsibility of killing it.” Fears Revival of Evils. The Senate resolution, he argued with obvious feeling, would make “im- potent” the power of the Federal Gov- ernment to regulate interstate com- merce “despite th fact that the Su- preme Court has ruled in scores of cases that the Federal power must necessarily be extended over activities wholly within a State which substan- tially burden or obstruct the proper regulation of interstate commerce.” He added: “This limitation of Federal power would in effect revive all the evils of the lack of Federal power which were largely responsible for the constitu- tional convention of 1787 and for the drafting of the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. “This would be not merely a move- ment ‘back to the Constitution.’ It would be a proposal to go back to the Due to the death of T.

But their more surprising news was this: One administration chief, who is represented as thinking it would be good politics for the bonus to be paid | this year, has made another poll of | his own. He reported 72 Senators would support a plan to push through a bonus bill—in the form of a rider on another measure—giving the President a choice of three ways of paying the adjusted service certificates instead of the single method of new currency | contained in the Patman bill. Since only two-thirds are necessary |to override a veto, and the Senate— |even at full strength—contains only 96 men, such a plan would go through to enactment if 72 Senators stuck to 1it to the end and the House con- curred. Would Direct Payment. The proposed rider would direct that | the bonus be paid. It would, however, | leave to the President the choice be- tween issuing currency, borrowirg or taking the money ‘out of his $4,880,- 000,000 public works fund. Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis- souri already has disclosed his inten- tion to offer such a rider on the naval appropriations bill, which was the | | Senate’s pending business today. | But since the Senate ordinarily | takes little time on appropriations | bills, and under the present schedule | a vote on the Patman veto will not take place before Wednesday, there | was a possibility that Clark would | have to offer his rider on some meas- ure other than that carrying funds | for the Navy next fiscal year. | One House leader, speaking private- ly, was told about that plan and re: | plied: “The House would accept that | rider, and override a veto on it about | twice as fast as it will on the Pat- man bill.” Eight Votes Switched. Administration Senators who said they had checked the situation assert- | | ed—but not for quotation by name— | that the President’s intention to de- | liver his message in person, and other | things, had switched eight votes in | the Senate since the Patman bill originally passed. On the original roll call 33 Senators voted against passage. The latest recapitulation was said to show tha six Democrats and two Republical now would join the President. | was also a possibility, it was added, | | that one of the original 33 against | | the bill now would vote to override | the veto. Patmanites disputed the Roosevelt leaders’ claims. Representative Pat- man said: “A final check shows that one Senate vote may decide the issue now.” He did not, however, refer to the Clark rider or make any predictions about that. political-economic chaos before the Constitution, and to deny the power of the Federal Government to protect the national welfare.” Referring to the 30 days which™ lhe Senate resolution would allow for | code revision Richberg said ‘the job just couldn't possibly be done in 30 | days."". Emphasizes Revision Task. It would be necessary, he said. to review and revise 600 to 700 codes. Either the administrative officials would have to ‘“pretend” they had | revised the codes, or review them in “haphazard” and “slap-dash” style, he asserted. Ward Cheney, chairman of the Industry and Business Committee for N. R. A. extension, asked Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho mean- while to name the small businesses which, Borah said, had protested that N. R. A. was ruining them. Cheney suggested the small busi- ness men who had protested against N. R. A. to Borah might be “part of industrial and business groups rep- resented on our committee” and that the committee “could furnish you some enlightening and astounding facts.” Accusing Code Authority executives of backing a projected “march” of business men to Washington this week for the meeting Wednesday, Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, said there “is a closer connection be- tween this movement and the N. R. A. than there was between the farm- ers’ march and the A. A. A" Cheney sald the “marchers,” ex- pected to arrive Wednesday, are coming from New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Boston, Cincinnati, Pitts- burgh, Louisville and St. Louis to urge two-year extension of the na- tional recovery act. ‘There | = Photo taken at Teague, Tex., shows scene similar to one enacted throughout Texas due to storms and floods which took a toll of a dozen lives.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, May 20— FPrederick Gross. 49, bookkeeper, who | was charged with murder after his | vite and four children died mysteri- | ously of poisoning, was discharged | today in Brooklyn Homicide Court. The $20-a-week bookkeeper was freed by Magistrate John D. Mason on the application and request of District Attorney Willam F. X. Geoghan. Expressionless and calm, Gross stowed no effect after his weeks in jeil. When the court discharged him he murmured, “thank you very much.” Geoghan told the court he had been baffled by the case. He re- | viewed the intensive search for clues and the thorough chemical analysis of food in the Gross home and poisons in the bodies of the family. “We have only circumstantial evi- dence,” the prosecutor said, “but cir- cumstantial evidence sometimes is bet- ter than real evidence if it is true. We must prove the guilt. I can’t do! that. I haven't the proof. “I can’t say honestly and fairly that the circumstances point to this man. We have the possibility that his wife administered the poison. I don’t think | | this man believes that himself.” On March 29 Gross' oldest son, Frederick, became ill and died. Four days later another son, Leo, 3, died under similar circumstances. A day later his wife, Katherine, died, and on | April 26 two daughters, Katherine, 6, and Barbara, 4. died. Geoghan said evidence of a little- known and little-sold poison was found in two examinations. Gross. who was employed by a chemical importing company, readily answered questions, Geoghan said, “openly and frankly.” Dismissal of the charge, Geoghan told the court, does not close the case e said he would continue to inv igate. !

SOUTHWEST STORM TOLL REACHES 17 300 Families Are Routed in Oklahoma City as New Flood Threatens. By the Assoclated Press. DALLAS, Tex., May 20.—The find- ing of two bodies today near Altus, Okla., and another death in Texas raised to 17 the number of known dead in floods and tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma over the week end. An- other death occurred in Kansas when a motorist drowned in a ditch filled with flood water at Chanute. Several persons were missing as the Red Cross and other relief agencies came into the stricken area. The bodies found were tentatively identified as those of Joy McAlpine, 10, and Alfred Reid, colored youth. Texas’ toll reached 11 when John Finke, 40, Live Oak farmer, was drowned when his horse stumbled while crossing a creek and threw the rider into the swirling stream. His body was recovered. Boy of 14 Drowned. Melvin Hill, 14, drowned yesterday | near Tulsa, Okla., when he fell from | a swinging foot bridge into a flooded | lagoon. Sunshine replaced rain as flood | waters started a general decline, but Oklahoma City faced a new menace | when 300 families were ordered from lowland homes to cscape a reported 16-foot wall of water sweeping down the Canadian River. City Manager O. M. Mosier ordered the families removed to a tent com- | munity when reports said the water | would strike the section late today. | Floods and storms caused damage unofficially estimated at more than | 2,000,000 to highways, bridges, rail- | roads, crops, live stock, business build- | ings and homes. River on Rampage. Streams in Texas, including the Red River, the Trinity, the Brazos, the Little, the Guadalupe and the Colorado, continued on a rampage, but dangers of further rises apparently had passed. | Other bodies found in the Altus | | area were those of Mrs. Claude Gow- | ens, Jessie Reid, colored, and her | | 4-year-old daughter. | The Texas toll included Mrs. J. P. | Pickerell and Police Chief Bill Gar- | land of Burkburnett, who were killed | | when the auto in which they were riding crashed through a bridge | | over the Red River. Others known to | have been in the machine when it | plunged into the stream were Mrs. | E. O. Reaves and J. M. Audrian of | Burkburnett. J. P. Pickerell, driver, was rescued last night on an island 9 miles down the river. Twister Fatalities. | Others dead in Texas were: Oscar Gilbert, Belott, killed in a| twister; Mr. and Mrs. J. P.

The worst of the storms hit North, | Central and East Texas, twisters de- | stroying business houses and homes, | and swollen streams battering down bridges, inundating farm lands and sweeping away live stock.
