LEMKE INFLATION BILL HELD DEAD House Leaders Resort to| Pressure to Remove Vote Petition Names. By the Associated Press. House administration leaders passed the word around today that the in- flationary Frazier-Lemke bill to re- firance farm mortgages with $3,000,- 600,000 in new money “is dead for this session.” They based this prediction on the fact they had made new progress in their campajgn to remove signatures from a petition to force a House vote on the measure. The total stood at only 203 signers today, 13 short of the 216 signatures needed to force the bill out of the Rules Committee. That was a loss of half a dozen signers this week alone. Party lead- ers got busy about that time and, | while denying they were working on | instructions from President Roosevelt, | brought the strongest pressure against Democrats io scratch their names. | Representative Lemke, Republican, of North Dakota, who has denounced | the Democratic campaign against the | bill of which he is co-author, insisted | teday “we will get enough signers” .

Explaining he was called “Cousin Nat,” Patton said he was appearing because it was “nothing but fair to the great State I represent and to my family” in view of “the aspersions that have been cast.” He said he also did it for “the great State of Alabama, represented by Chairman Black, because I mar- 10 the good old State of Alabama.” Tells of Visit.

Worsham and Carpenter were asked to leave the room while Patton testified. Patton told the committee he car- ried a couple of books to the hotel for Carpenter’s son and took them away with him wrapped in a newspaper. His account varied from the original story in that he said Carpenter’s son asked for the books, while Worsham had testified Carpenter asked for them for the son. After letting Patton tell his story, Black asked him to sit down and be- gan to question him. Quotes Report. Black asked if he mace reports to Carpenter about the utilities bill's Have really smart-looking Fingernails progress. “I told him it had been in com- mittee so long I didn't think it would however, that he did not remember writing Carpenter about the measure. Black submitted a letter written by Patton to Carpenter reporting on the House reception of the President’s message on the utility bill. The letter was dated March 13, the day Patton said he had talked to Carpenter here. “When I wrote this letter,” the Representative explained, “I didn't know he was here. I remember now telling him I had written him a letter.” Black then asked if Patton had made any investments since he had come to Congress. Here Patton pulled out of his pocket the four Government bonds with face value of $1,000 each. He said they were bought for about $750 each on March 8, April 4, May 10 and May 8, to mature 10 years hence at full value. ‘They were paid for in cash, he said, by a check on the sergeant at arms of the House. “That's about all I've been able to save out of my pay since I've been here,” he volunteered. Black pointed out that at the time Patton bought the last of the four bonds he had drawn four months’ salary or a total of about $3,100. Patton said he had brought about $600 to Washington with him. He also had sons in college, he said, who had their own accounts. “But they've been hitting the old man up this Summer,” he added.

Patton testified the boy asked his father if it was all right to give the Representative the cigars, and Car- penter replied “O.

The measure has been passed by the Senate. Caldwell said he had been perhaps as active as any one “in condemning and in attempting to expose some of the questionable practices which we know are occasionally indulged in be- fore some of the Federal executive and administrative agencies, sometimes by lawyers, sometimes by laymen, and sometimes by lawyers holding them- selves out to do work which is not really of a legal nature.” LIFE SAVINGS STOLEN | Woman, 75, Beaten by Intruder. $700 Taken.

Glass spoke of “jealousy” on the part of an unnamed New York banker of some of his pri- vate banking competitors. “The gentleman who has made the most furor about this provision,” he said, “is a great banker whose insti- | tution engaged in more vicious and | hurtful transactions than any other bank on the American continent and | | lost millions upon millions of -dollars in the process. “He seems to entertain a jealousy ' of one or two private bankers in his city and, through his jealousy of them and enmity toward them, he has stirred up a fuss about this interlock- ing director provision which permits | commercial and private bankers to| serve on one other bank board.” MANCHUKUO REPORTS BATTLES WITH BANDITS Japanese Troops Recapture Town, but Another Detachment Is Annihilated.
