INCREASE IN TAKES
IS URGED BY GEN
Higher Revenue Advocated to
Take Care of Needs of
Unemployed.
An Increase In Federal taxes was
urged today by President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor to
take care of needs arising from steadily
mounting unemployment.
The labor official estimated there
were 8.300,000 jobless on January 1, and
Vided that the peak was not expected
before Spring This estimate is 1.300,
000 more than was predicted by Green
eeveral months ago
In advocating increased taxation
Green charged that both municipal re
lief and private charity programs are
"totally unable to meet the needs of
the unemployed."
More Jobless Expected.
"We are now fav to face with an
unprecedented un°mployment crisis,”
he warned, "apd wTfn relief provision
totally inadequate for even the Winter
months, we must look ahead now to
the needs of the year.
"A conservative estimate places the
probable unemployment for 1932 be
tween 6,000,000 and 7.000,000 as an av
erage It will cost between $3,500,000,
000 and $5,700,000,000 to feed, clothe
and house the unemployed even at bare
subsistence levels.
"Already we are hearing from bank
rupt cities and towns reports of un
precedented suffering they cannot meet.
Some are not even paying their school
teachers. Community chests, after a
valiant effort to collect funds from pri
vate scurces, report their funds inade
quate: the need is .four times that of
1928. their funds only 25 per cent more
"Isolated industrial sections outside
the cities—coal fields, textile mill vil
lages—have no resources outside their
industry to cope with their problem.
Even large cities are not meeting their
relief needs.
"Thus the responsibility of caring for
those out of work is thrown back on
their relatives, friends and neighbors,
who can least afford to give of their
ora meager incomes. Tilts burden,
added to wage cuts and part-time work, i
reduces our living standards to the point j
of poverty in millions of homes.
I. S. Only Agency Lett.
"Onlv one agency can meet the relief
problem now that a'i other resources
have been proved inadequate—the Fed
eral Government. By taxation it can
distribute the burden of this year where
It can be borne with least injury to our
citizenship."
Green said he based his unemploy
ment estimate and his suggestions for
relief needs upon reports he received
from trade unions in every section of
the United States.
Officials of the President's Organiza
tion on Unemployment Relief refused
to discuss Green's statemeht. The labcr
chieftain is a member of one of this
organization's most important com
mittees.
The Labor Department's Employment
Service issued its usual monthly bulletin
on conditions throughout the country,
declaring for December a "more opti
mistic outlook prevailed regarding the
general industrial-employment situa
tion," which, with a few exceptions,
changed very little in December as com
pared with November.

JUDGE BREAKS UP
PROBE IN CHICAGO
__
Wrathful on Hearing Grand Juryj
Foreman Talked With
Accuser of Judges.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 28.r-A bomb
I shell of judicial wrath has blown up the
i present grand jury investigation of
charges that Cook County judges were
‘'mountebanks" and "cash registers.’’ j
When the blast was over yesterday,
the grand jury had been shelved and
the author of the charges, Frank J.!
Loesch. 80-year-old crime fighter,
threatened with contempt of court
The bombshell came from the spon
I sor of the investigation, Chief Justice
| Harry M. Fisher, after he heard Loesch
had conferred privately with Henry S.
Henesch, foreman of the grand jury,
about the charges.
He called the jurors before him, but
twice they refused to come, saying they
were too busy. After nis second emis
sary was denied admittance to the
grand jury room, Judge Fisher ordered
all bailiffs available rounded up to
bring the jury forcibly. It came before
the order could be carried out.
Loesch also was called and explained
through counsel he discussed his
charges with Henesch at the latter’s
request, but Judge Fisher told him he
should know better as a lawyer. Henesch
said he thought he was doing his duty
by trying to get all the facts.
Loesch refused to sign an immunity
waiver the day before when called and
did not testify. He said ne would sup
port his charges in public, but not “se
cretly" before the jury.
Judge Fisher announced he would
suspend the inquiry until the February
grand jury convenes.

Denies Interest in Colombia
Concession and Loan
Floated in U. S.
By the Associated Press.
Extended echoes of sensational
charges made in the Senate investiga
tion of foreign bond sales have drawn
from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
a direct denial that he had anything
whatever to do with .restoration of the
Barco oil concession in Colombia to the
Gulf Oil Co
Because this enormously valuable
oil field was open’d again to the com
pany of which Mellon is a stockholder
about the time that a $4,000,000 loan—
long held up—w as made to Colombia by
an American banking house under some
State Department pressure, the case
became the most conspicuous in the in
vestigation.
The hearing, conducted by the Senate
Finance Committee, is now closed. As
its result the group turned today to a
study of legislation designed to put a
strong curb on future international
loans.
Large 1’ronis snown.
Through several weeks the committee
has piled up a record showing profits of
millions were made by American bank
ing houses on sale of foreign bonds to
American investors. These have lost
enormously through the general shrink
age in market values, accentuated in
some cases by the poor condition of the
borrowing nations and by default on
some issues The total of foreign bonds
floated in this country since the World
War has been estimated at $10,000,000,
000, but the committee has not estab
lished the figures definitely.
The record bulges with Intimations
of bribery: unproved charges linking
valuable concessions to the making of
loans: assertions that bonds floated in
this country served to maintain Latin
American dictatorships. It has been
testified some bankers ignored warnings
against making unsound loans.
What finally persuaded Mellon to
issue a statement was a recent broad
cast by Senator Capper. Republican, of
Kansas, who said “some people in high
places in this Government appear to
have betrayed their trust" in connection
with the Latin American deals. He
showed definitely he was speaking of
the Btrco ease, making one reference
which was clearly to Mellon.
Johnson Sponsors Bill.
The measures for control of further
foreign loans which were before the
! Finance Committee today, are the offer
ings of Senator Johnson. Republican,
of California, the man responsible for
the entire investigation.
In one he proposed creating a "for
eign Fan board." composed of the Sec
retaries of State and Commerce and
the governor of the Federal Reserve
Board, to pass on all loans to other
countries.
The second would require public re
ports to the Secretary of Commerc on
the terms of the loans and the esti
mated profits.
The Mellon statement follows:
"A persistent effort has been made to
connect the granting of the Barco Oil
concession by the government of Co
lombia with the granting of a loan by
American bankers to that government
and to imply that improper influence
was exercised in order to bring about
the granting of the concession.
"These indirect charges and innu
endoes have recently received wide
spread publicity through a speech
broadcast by a United States Senator.
Inasmuch as I am a stockholder in one
of the companies interested in the con
cession and I have been definitely
drawn into this matter, more particu
larly in the radio speech, I deem it
proper to state the facts.
"I had no knowledge of the granting
of the Barco concession, which, it is
said, was coincident with the fulfill
ment of a credit obligation. I had no
knowledge at any time of any contract
by bankers to grant a credit to the Co
lombian government. I never knew
that such a credit had been granted or
fulfilled until the Senate hearings.
Denies Implications.
“The record before the Senate Com
mittee indicates that the Barco con
cession was confirmed on June 20. 1931,
and that the $4,000,000 credit obliga
tion was met on June 30. 1931. I left
Washington on my way to Europe on
June 5. 1931, and did not return to
j this country until the end of August.
All of these transactions took place dur
ing my absence. I had no knowledge
! before I left of any negotiations then
pending, if they were then pending,
relating either to a bank credit or to
the Barco concession. I did not discuss
this loan with the Secretary of State,
any official of the State Department or
any one else.
“The suggestion that I participated
in or in any way concerned myself, di
rectly or indirectly, with these trans
actions is entirely without foundation
in fact, and the Senator was evidently
misinformed
“It may be observed that Assistant
Secretary White in his testimony before
the Senate Finance Committee defi
nitely established the fact that the
agreements by the bankers to open the
credit were made in June and October.
1930. several months before the granting
of the concession. The only question
involved in June, 1931, was the fulfill
ment of a definite obligation previously
made.”
"CLEAR," OBREGON CLAIMS.

Cuban President's Son-in-Law Calm
About U. S. Loan Charges.
HAVANA, Cuba, January 28 fJP).—
Jose Obregon, son-in-law of President
Machado, said yesterday he was “clear”
in the United States senatorial inves
tigation of loans to Cuba.
“I happened to be manager of the
bank at the time." he said, referring to
the Havana branch of the Chase Na
tional Bank of New York, "and the
check was made out to me as manager
and redistributed in the natural course
of business.”
The American Senate's Finance Com
mittee had been told by an official of
the Chase Bank that Obregon was paid
$500,000 on one of the loans.
SUICIDE OF DOCTOR
PUZZLES OFFICIALS
Brooklyn Hospital Executive Found
in New Hampshire Hotel With
Wrists Cut.
By the Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., January 28.—
Dr. Claymor H. Magna, jr„ medical su
perintendent of Kings County Hospital,
Brooklyn, N. Y., committed suicide by
slashing his wrists and arms with a
razor blade Tuesday night in a Ports
mouth hotel. His body was found by
a chambermaid shortly before noon yes
terday.
Only 36 years old and considered one
of the most capable hospital executives
in the country, Dr Magna's death
proved a puzzle to his friends and as
sociates in Brooklyn, while police here
were equally at a loss for a motive.
They searched the hotel room thor
oughly. in the belief that Dr. Magna
might have left a note explaining his
act. but none was found.
The finding of the body ended a
search which began Monday, when Dr.
Magna disappeared from Brooklyn.
Before starting his day’s writing,
Dickens would arrange the ornaments
on his table in a certain order.
