@ QIEET FINAL SPORTS o 2— X Roosevelt Requests Setup for Receiving Mexican Payments U. S. Citizens to Share In $40,000,000 Owed For Farm Seizures President Roosevelt today asked Congress to provide machinery for paying off individuals who have just claims to a share in the $40,000,000 ‘which the Mexitan government has agreed it owes to Americans as a result of seizure of agrarian lands in Mexico. ‘With a brief message, Mr. Roose- velt sent Congress a secret report from Secretary of State Hull set- ting forth details of the claims, some of which date back many years. The machinery would make possible action on the United States- Mexico convention of last November 19, under which Mexico admitted the $40,000,000 debt. It was learned that Mexico al- ready has paid the United States Government—as distinct from the American individual claimants—$6,- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, XX Today’s Results — Entries And Selections for Tomorrow D.

Disagreements over the two ex-| propriations have long prevented full amity between Mexico and the United States in the development of hemispheric solidarity. ‘The proposed oil settlement, which was published April 18, is being scrutinized in Mexico City and in Washington. It was worked out by Morris L. Cook, representing the United States, and Manuel J. Ze- bada, representing Mexico.

The indictment said that dye- | stuffs constituted a $75,000,000-a- year industry in the United States, but officials said that the interme- | diates formed a still more important | segment of American production. | Dyestuffs are used to color textiles, | paper, leather, furs and other sub- | stances, while the intermediates | from which dyestuffs are made are | used also to manufacture pharma- ceuticals, explosives and plastics. Before the first World War, the in- | dictment says, the predecessors of 1. G. Fatbenindustrie produced three-fourths of the world’s dye- stuffs, and dye companies in France, England and America were largely owned and operated by German con- cerns. After that war, however, United States industry “expanded tremendously” and most of the'dye- stuffs used here were produced in | this country in addition to some for | export. However, exports were controlled | along with prices, the indictment alleges, and the world market was divided among the companies which participated in the cartel.

Called “Political Pay Raise.” ‘The only member of the House who voted against the bill, Repre- sentative Disney, Democrat, of Okla- homa labels the legislation a “polit- ical pay raise.” In a statement issued through his office today, Representative Disney said that measure would add $1,000,- 000,000 to the budget and that “we face a $49,000,000,000 deficit over and above the $16,000,000,000 now being collected and the $8,000,000,000 ad- ditional in the current tax bill.” “I would have voted for a rea- sonable pay raise,” the statement continued. “This was a political pay raise.

Rudolph Hutz, former General Aniline officer and director who was suspended at the same time, was named in the indictment as a 8s a director last December 12 and co-conspirator. [S “No one can study the type of articles and editorials (appearing in the press) without coming to the conclusion that they are calculated not to oppose issues before the Con- gress but to undermine the faith of the people in the character and integrity of members of the Senate and the House,” Senator La Follette asserted. “Unless we have the courage to withstand these attacks, I say you will find we have been derelict in our duty and have contributed to the downfall of the Republic of the United States.” “Not to Be Trusted.” The proposal, Senator La Follette said, is tantamount’ to admitting that the Senate is “not to be trusted to carry out the pledge made when the (rationing) cards are issued.” Senator Downey, defending his proposal, contended it was designed to apply to all public officials and asked Sepators to envision “what will happen when millions of public officials are let loose with X cards when their neighbors don't have| them.” Senator Barkley argued that the facts of the gasoline situation “make it impossible to go on a gas spree on an X card.” He attempted, he said, three times last night “unsuccessfully, to obtain gas” and this morning was able only to obtain three lons. He defended the use of congres- sional members' cars to visit execu- tive departments on official busi- ness, contending many people in the States find that Senators and Representatives are the only people in Washington they know. Won't Be Swayed by Press. “I take it to be my duty, and also my pleasure, to be of any service I can to them,” Senator Barkley said. “I won't vote for anything that implies I can't be trusted. I am not going to vote on account of any headlines, but according to my con- | science.” Senator Tydings, Democrat, of | Maryland, joined the debate to as-| sert “it would be a serious thing if | the legislative branch were denied every facility to keep in touch with their people—to keep the light of democracy burning. Assails 0. P. A. Official. Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis- souri, criticized the anonymous of- ficial of the Office of Price Admin- istration who yesterday morning issued a statement saying that the downtown business of members of Congress should not be considered official business for rationing pur- poses. “It is a very dangerous develop- ment,” he said, “if an anonymous whippersnapper in a Government agency can define the duties of the | Congress of the United States.” “Gasoline rationing cards are not a privilege but an obligation to use the gas only for official business,” Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, observed. “In that light, the X cards are more restrictivé than the others—if the owner is honest, “And if the Senators are not hon- est, then this resolution ought to be read to the Sennv.e every morn- ing after the prayer.” | Senator Norris based his objection | to the consideration of Downey’s proposal on grounds that it would have no legal or “any other” effect, nor add to the “responsibilities” of the members of the Senate. | Nation Near Grave Situation. In offering his resolution, Senator Downey said that the Nation was “approaching a desperate condition on gasoline and rubber.” He said | all oil tankers had been removed from the Atlantic coastal routes, ob- serving that 85 per cent of the East’s oil previously had been transported in such tankers. “What 90 days or six months will bring to this Nation, no one can tell,” he said. “Unless we conserve gasoline and rubber we may find ourselves in a condition from which we will never recover.” Meanwhile, cold water was thrown on the proposals of inland Py the barges we need to take oil Corydon across the Gulf.” He added that he had asked for a list of barges, but had not yet received it. day the O.

Check to Be Made on All X } And B-3 Cards in Maryland McCormick, acting O. P. A. regional director, said today a check would be made on all B-3 and X cards issued for gasoline rationing in| Maryland. He said there was no present plan to require all prove their right to such a cardl again. Such proof would be re-| quired, he continued, only “if neces- | sary to prevent abuses or injus-| tices.” RICHMOND, Va., May 14 (®.— ‘ State rationing officials received a | v.mm "Trot, Churchill Downs | ruling from Washington today clari- fying a point which had caused some confusion among applicants and holders of B series gasoline ration cards. Many persons signing up had in- quired whether they were morally and legally bound to use all of the gas obtainable on B cards for busi- ness purposes only. Under the ruling, they do not. According to the interpretation placed upon the gquestions in the application form for B cards, per- sons who are able to conserve a portion of their 33, 45 or 57 gallons of gasoline between now and July 1 by doubling up, riding bicycles, rid- ing buses or walking to and from work are within the law to use the gasoline they save for taking the | family to church on Sunday, golng’ fishing or for outings. Marblehead (Continued Prom Pirst Page.) morning another plane took over shadowing us but then gave it up for some reason. “A short time later I heard signals from an old 4-stack destroyer which was not far from our position. The skipper of that ship reported a| flight of about 30 bombers overhead. | They circled for some time and fi- | nally—apparently satisfied that the | old destroyer was the Marblehead— | let go with their bombs. “It is easy to see how they could have made such a mistake from the air. But the destroyer—much more maneuverable than our ship in its condition—eluded the bombs.” Seamanship Praised. Capt. Robinson said that his ship was not further molested on its| long journey home. He pointed out that the Japanese bombers had scrupulously avoided attacking de- stroyers during the early phases of the action and said there seemed to be no question that they thought | they were attacking the crlppled‘ cruiser. | In describing the action, the de- stroyer’s skipper sent a message saying: “Eight runs, no hits, no errors.” Capt. Robinson pledged that the Marblehead would be repaired and would go back into action as soon as possible. The citation which Secretary Knox, on behalf of the President, presented to the Marble- head’s commander, praised the “excellent seamanship displayed byl Capt. Robinson, combined with the prompt and effective action of his well-trained officers and crew.” Bingo Party Planned VIENNA, Va.,, May 14 (Special) — Harmony Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, of Vienna will sponsor a benefit bingo party in the Order Fraternal Americans Hall at 8 pm.

BERN, May 14, — That France has been “offered Span- ish aid” for the defense of her West African coast is indicated by correspondence from Vichy published today in the Geneva newspaper, La Suisse. This offer, the report implies, followed on the heels of United States demands regarding Mar- tinique which brought German and Italian pressure on Vichy. However, the Vichy report hints, the Spanish offer has been rejected. (Copyright, 1942, by Chicago Daily News.)

Personal Summons Senf To President in Libel Case By the Associated Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 14—A personal summons for President Roosevelt to appear as a witness for him was issued today by Edward Holton James, retired Concord law- yer, who faces trial next Wednesday on a complaint charging that he libelled the Chief Executive. Unsuccessful in an attempt to | have the Government call the Presi- dent as a witness, James filled out a summons himself on a criminal court blank and sent it to the Chief | Executive by airmail. The summons requested the President to “appear forthwith be- fore the Superior Court for the county of Middlesex, held in Cam- bridge, on May 20, to give such evi- | dence as he knows relative to a com- plaint indictment there | against Edward Holton James.” ° The Attorney General's office said that the textbook references indi- cated that while a subpoena may be issued for a chief executive of the State or Nation, the courts were | without power to compel him to | obey it. | _The Government contends that | James libelled the Chief Executive in a pamphlet titled “Yankee Free- man.” James is now in East Cam- bridge jail, in lieu of $2,500 bail, pending trial. Maid Identifies Miss Webb | As Being at Slaying Scene (Earlier Story on Page A-3.) By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 14.—Miss Madeline Webb, on trial with two men for the strangulation-slaying of Mrs. Susan Flora Reich, wealthy Polish refugee, was identified today by a Sutton Hotel chambermaid as having been in the room with the two co-defendants the day before Mrs. Reich's body was found there March 5. Miss Webb broke down and wept as the chambermaid testified. ‘The chambermaid, Betty O'Sul- livan, wept, too, as she left the wit- mess stand after Assistant District Attorney Jacob A. Grumet had asked ber to identify the “Mr. Leo- pold and his wife” whom she had met as occupants of the suite in which Mrs. Reich was slain. The witness searched the faces of the jurors and the courtroom audi- ence, went to the defense table, stopped in front of Eli Shonbrun, whom the State contends was Miss ‘Webb's lover, and said: “I think this one here is the one.” She pointed at_Shonbrun. Then she hesitated for a moment in front of Miss Webb, pointed her finger and exclaimed: “This one here.” |Oliver Sends in Entry For P. G. A.
