Reserve Power Widening Measure Drawn After Conferences. (Continued From First Page.) further told him that I had had no Idea that the bill would be sent tip to the Capital so soon, which was before en opportunity of discussing the mat ter with him had been afforded." Plan Sent to Capitol. As for the plan, which was sent to Capitol Hill last night in the form of a tentative draft of the "banking act of 1935," Glass would only say: "I do not care to make any comment On something I have not seen." It is known that the Virginia Sen ator. who wrote most of the original Federal Reserve act as chairman of the House Banking Committee in 1913, Is opposed to changes in the Federal Reserve in this session. The Capital has understood for some time he would fight to the end any amendments ■which would place additional control in the hands of officials here. The amendments proposed in the banking act of 1935 would give Wash ington practically complete supervi sion over credit policies. Approval Here Required. Before the 12 governors of Federal Reserve banks could be elected they would have to be approved by the Fed eral Reserve Board here. By scrap ping the old "Open Market Policy Committee" in favor of a new com mittee, the Reserve Board would be given a predominant voice on the question as to when and to what ex tent Reserve banks should support the Government bond market. Under the old system, the Policy Committee is named by the 12 re serve banks. The new committee would be composed of the governor of the board, two board members and two governors of reserve banks elected annually by the governors themselves. The reserve system's vast holdings of Government securities now total $2,430,000,000. The Policy Committee can determine when these shall be sold or when more securities shall be bought. It thus heîds a powerful lever capable of bolstering or depress ing the prices of the securities. The omnibus banking bill also con tains amendments to the Federal De posit Insurance Corp. act. As long predicted, the administration proposed that the maximum insurance protec tion for each depositor remain $5,000. The present law, if unchanged, would Increase that maximum July 1. Bankers who had been asking that their liability for F. D. I. C. assess ments be limited, attained this goal. At present the law calls for an ob ligatory stock subscription amounting to 1 per cent of total deposits, with liability for repeated assessments thereafter. The proposed law fixes a maximum assessment of one-twelfth of 1 per cent of total deposits. Some large banks, however, had complained against assessing total deposits, instead ot insured deposits, on the ground that such assessments represented a disproportionate bur wn on mem. xne iramers 01 tne law apparently decided against this plea. Reserve Agent to Go. The Federal Reserve amendments would abolish the post of Federal Re serve agent in each of the 12 dis tricts, combining it with the gover norships. The Reserve board, as a means of preventing credit expansion or contraction which it might consider harmful, would have power to change reserve requirements. Reserve Board members would have to be "well qualified by education and experience to participate in the formulation of national economic and monetary policies." Salaries of Reserve Board members appointed in the future would be increased from $12,000 to $15,000 with compulsory retirement at 70 on $12,000 pension. Present members would be eligible for retirement at 70. The proposed legislation would give the Reserve Board wide authority to determine the eligibility of paper for discount, both as to nature and the limit of maturity. National banks would be permitted to make loans on real estate on an amortization basis for periods up to 20 years (the limit is now 5 years) and up to 75 per cent of the value of the property ( the limit is now 50 per cent). Another proposal provides that di rectors of a reserve bank shall not hold office for more than six con secutive years, except governors and vice governors. This was believed to aim at having "new blood" injected frequently into the boards. Chairman Steagall of the House Banking Committee was expected to introduce the omnibus bill today. Meanwhile, Capitol Hill heard that a bill expanding the capital of the Home Owners' Loan Corp. by $1, 250,000,000 has been written and is pending before the President's Execu tive Council. The word on the hill was that it might be approved by the council today. Besides eld to home owners, it was said, some of the new capital would be used to help Federal savings and loan associations. tAo I SHUKt JUB UtNltD Big Hydroelectric Development Rejected by P. W. A.

KRAI'S. —Star Staft Photo. PROFESSOR SEEKS ROOSEVELT'S AID Fears Deportation After Losing Place for Hunger Strike Protest. One of the "unhappiest men in the world" has come to Washington. He is Dr. Arthur J. I. Kraus, a German philosopher and teacher oi philosophy, born in Poland and, like others who have pursued truth and struggled for freedom, he has had plenty of troubles. Conditions In his native land were far from ideal before the World War: they did not Improve as much as he thought they should after the armi stice and the establishment of the Polish republic. The pressure of cir ! cumstances forced him into a position of leadership in a minority movement for more liberal policies. The cam paign failed and he was obliged to seek refuge, first at Oxford, England, and then in America. In December. 1932, he was employed as an instructor in philosophy at the College of the City of New York, quietly following a routine of teaching in no way different from that of his faculty colleagues. Then came news of violent clashes between the Polish student bodies and the Polish police. Friends back home, boys he had taught, were killed in the fighting. In an effort to call American attention to the tragedy, Dr. Kraus followed the example of the English suffragettes, I Lord Mayor Terence McSweeney of ' Cork and Mahatma Gandhi and an j nounced a voluntary hunger strike. I The device was a success—it made the cause of the Polish students a matter of news. But it cost the philos opher his job and his reputation. IS UlsmiMTQ. Dr Kraus was dismissed from his ! position on the charge of being I "mentally unstable." I No examination was made, no test given, to prove the allegation. Eminent psychologists, engaged by his friends, found him perfectly normal mentally and emotionally; but it was too late— the damage was done, and Dr. Kraus. unable to obtain employment, became liable to deportation. He was arrested early in 1933 and transferred to Ellis Island to await expulsion. But his case appealed to organiza ! tions and individuals concerned for i academic freedom, and on the repre ! sentations of Profs. John Dewey. ! George S. Counts, Ernest F. Scott, ι Reinhold Niebuhr and others he was released for six months. Seeks Roosevelt's Aid. That period, however, long since j has expired, and Dr. Kraus may be seized and ejected from the United States any moment. He lives in ter ror of such a development of his mis fortunes, and in quest of formal per mission to remain in America and to retrieve his lost status in his profes sion. he has arrived in the Capitol to solicit the aid of President Roose velt and Secretary of Labor Perkins. His sponsor here is Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington. Among the credentials which Dr. Kraus will ask opportunity to submit to the Chief Executive is a letter from Dr. Albert Einstein, discoverer of rela tivity, which reads: "Prof. Kraus, for merly teacher of philosophy in the College of the City of New York, has lost his position there because he had shown the conscientiousness and the courage to defend in life the same principles of justice which It was his duty to teach." Bishop Freeman has promised to intercede for Dr. Kraus in person. Slain UNION HEAD KILLED BY GUNMEN. THOMAS Ε. MALOY, Br the Associated Press. CHICAGO. February 5.—A maze of possible motives—fear, revenge or the lust for power—twisted the investiga tion of the gangland-style slaying of Thomas E. Maloy into a snarl today. Maloy. the soft-spoken dapper czar of the Moving Picture Machine Opera tors' Union here, whose stormy 19-year career kept him frequently In the limelight, was killed as he drove in heavy traffic on Chicago's outer drive yesterday. Rumors arose that he had "talked" to the Government in the hope of gaining consideration at his pending trial for Income tax evasion. Another theory was that he had re cently boasted he knew the Identity of the kidnapers who reputedly ex torted $50,000 In ransom from him last October 24. —A. P. Photo. I New Deal Government Held Bureaucratic in G. 0. P. Address. A plea for continuance of constitu tional government was made yester day afternoon by Representative Guyer, Republican, of iCansa.·., 'in speaking before a meeting of the Dis trict Chapter, League of Republican Women, at the Mayflower Hotel. Representative Guyer branded the present administration as a bureau cracy and said the United States is now going through the same political and economic stage through which Germany passed prior to the World War. He exonerated former Presi dent Hoover of any blame for the de pression, saying that such a state of affairs was Inevitable. Blames Woes on War. "We can blame all our troubles on one thing—the great war," the speak er said. "Since that horrible con flict the world has not seen one out standingly good thing accomplished. We have only to look at our books, our art, or listen in on our radio to flnd to what levels the world has fallen. Our best selling books are filthy, we have no such thing as art and we can not tune in on the radio without hear ing a hodge-podge, represented to us as music." Representative Guyer told his listen ers that he never would utter a dis paraging word against President Roosevelt or any other man who had to undergo the rigors of the White House. He said he had seen too many Presidents "killed off by the tasks" to be carried out in "the house across from Lafayette Square." "I saw President Hoover grow old within a few months while there," he said. "Uneasy lies the head that Is pillowed in the White House." Luncheon Precedes Meeting. Prior to the meeting Mrs. William Pitch Kelley, president of the chap ter, entertained at luncheon for a small group of prominent Republican women, including the national com mitteewomen from four States and the District of Columbia. Present at the luncheon were Mrs. Alvin T. Hert. vice chairman of the National Com mittee of the organization: National Committeewomen Mrs. Calvin Gabriel of Maryland. Mrs. Murray Brocock of Virginia. Miss Martha McClure of Iowa, Mrs. Robert Lincoln Hoyal of Arizona and Mrs. Virginia White Speel of the District. Mme. Julia Dent Can tacuzene-Grant, Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart and Mrs. Ellis Yost, former director of women's work and a vice president of the league. Following the talk by Representative Guyer. the national committeewomen made brief talks outlining conditions in their own States. G. W. TURNS AWAY SCHOOL "AGITATOR" University Denies Admission to Youth Accused of Starting High School Riot. David Carllner, 16-year-old McKin ley High Schol student, who was sus pended last Pall for "agitation'* fol lowing the foot ball riot in Central Stadium, has been refused admittance to George Washington University on the ground that he lacks proper credentials, President Cloyd Heck Mar vin said yesterday. Dr. Marvin denied charges by the National Student League that Car llner was excluded because it was feared he would promote "liberalism'' among the university students. The university head said the boy did not come to the school with the recom mendation of his principal, as is cus tomary. Carliner was told by university offi cials that his case would be recon sidered at the end of one year, during which time he must have had em ployment with an employer who would testify to his "faithfulness and re liability." In a statement the student league held that Carliner was denied ad mission to the university because his "admitted Intelligence, his convic tions and his ability to lead students render him undesirable."

CITIZENS SUPPORT POUCE MEASE Growth of City Cited by Chairman of Takoma Park Committee. i Increase in the numerical strength , of the Metropolitan Police Force was urged last night by the Citizens' As ! sociation of Takoma. D. C., at a meeting In the Takoma Parle Branch Library. D. Stewart Patterson, chairman of the Police and Pire Committee, point ed out that increased population of the Capital has increased responsibil ities of the Police Department. He also emphasized that the Increase in crime called for more adequate pro tection and that the increase in traffic accidents demanded immediate action. The association appealed to Congress for prompt action by complying with the request of Police Supt. Ernest W. Brown for additional men. George E. Sullivan, chairman of the Committee on Laws and Legislation, called attention to the necessity for enactment by Congress of a smoke prevention law which would prohibit not only the emission of dense or thick black smoke from stationary en gines and office buildings, but private residences as well. The bill, he said, also should include boats, tugs and locomotives. Gambling Denounced. A joint report of the Committee on Laws and Legislation and the Police and Fire Committee deplored as "un worthy of the serious consideration of practical and public spirited cit izens the recent suggestion from cer tain quarters that gambling be legal ized in the District of Columbia, it being self-evident that the legalizing of gambling will increase rather than decrease the extent thereof and bring within its vicious circles many per sons ashamed or afraid to visit the secret places where gambling is now ΛΑΓτ4α/4 Λ M " TU, Λ /. -—··«-*- "·«. *··ν vvuiuiivwt m · Ui eu the strengthening of police authority In this connection. The association, through President Wallace C. Magathan and the Execu tive Committee, will appear before the hearings in Congress and urge con struction of the addition to the Paul Junior High School at a cost of $190.000 and also request the appro priation of $15,000 for the preparation of plans for a new senior high school in the Takoma section. The flre prooflng of the Takoma Elementary School was also advocated in the re port of Eugene W. Bond, chairman of the Public Schools Committee. Express Cars Urged. Utilization of the Eleventh street line of the Capital Transit Co. for "express" cars, switched over from Fourteenth street and Ninth street for "express" service for cars operating on Georgia avenue, was Indorsed In a resolution presented by George E. Sullivan. The shifting of "express" cars from these two thoroughfares, It was pointed out, would tend to relieve some of the congestion and permit the continuation of "local" service from the northern section to the cen ter of the city. The wishes of the association will be presented by Pres ident Magathan at a meeting to be held tonight in Petworth on the rail way situation. The installation of a bus service is also receiving the at tention of the Public Utilities Com mission. the association was advised last night. FUNERAL TOMORROW Lieut. John G. Burgess, U. S.

CRUISER REQUEST TO AID SHIP BIDS IN BRAZIL BARED (Continued From First Page ) partment was "in accord with your expression of opinion." In reply to a committee question on the Gibson matter, Bardo replied, with a smile: "That's all in the day's work." Barbo was reprimanded by Clark fer failure to respond Immediately to questions. "You will answer the questions submitted to you." Clark snapped, his face growing increasingly red. Lean ing forward from his seat at a table overlooking the place where the burly white-haired witness sat, Clark con tinued: "You will not lecture the committee on lta procedure. Bardo Protests. "You are here at the call of the committee and it will conduct its in vestigation in its own manner." "We are getting nowhere by this line of questioning." Bardo had pro tested when he was pressed to name dates of certain activities of the cor ! poretion's agent in Brazil. He had declared he was unable to remember. The testimony concerning President : Rooeevelt, Farley and Moore was part verbal and part in the form of letters Bardo asserted there was "nothing selfish in it." "It was purely In the public Inter est," he insisted. "The shipyards were already overcapacitated and any addi tional capacity meant more of our men must be let out." Bardo frankly conceded he had sought, in association with officials of other major shipbuilding companies, to prevent granting of a $35.000.000 Reconstruction Finance Corp. loan to Laurence R. Wilder to finance his Gulf Industries plant at Pensacola, Fla. In his appeal to Gov. Moore, Bardo wrote on June 28, 1933: lue new 1UI*. ouipuuuuiug VA). (with plants at Camden) has twice the capacity that It needs, and this Is equally true of the Federal Shipbuild ing Co. at Kearney." He said Gulf Industries had secured plans preparatory to bidding on the 1933 naval program and "may divert a very substantial part of this business from New Jersey industries." "It Is important," he added, "that this be prevented If reasonably pos sible." Moore Tells of Reply. Replying, Gov. Moore said, as pre sented to the committee: "I have your letter and shall be glad to help you In any way you might sug gest. I have taken the matter up directly with Mr. Farley." A quick response from Bardo car ried the statement, In a letter of July 5, saying "there Is no doubt in my mind but what this situation will very largely rest in the President's lap be fore we get through with It." Bardo recommended that the Gov ernor write directly to the President to protest granting of the Wilder loan, ι He described Wilder as "a pro- ι moter pure and simple." Moore wrote to the President, sub- ι sequent correspondence disclosed, as well as to Farley. The latter Replied in a letter to Moore on July 15 that he had received comment on the matter from Admiral Η. I. Cone, chairman of the United States Shipping Board. President Roosevelt replied to Gov. Moore July 15 as follows: "Thank you for your letter of July T. I appreciate your writing me about NEXT MACCRACKEN MOVE NOT DECIDED Uncertain on Plea to Court for Reconsideration. Has 25 Days. By the Associated Prtss. The next move in William P. Mac Cracken's long fight to overturn a 10-day jail sentence the Senate imposed on him on charges oi con tempt remained in doubt today. MacCracken, former Assistant Sec retary of Commerce, said he had not decided whether to ask the court to reconsider. He has 25 days in which to file such a plea. At Liberty Under $5,000 Bond. Convicted of the charge last year, after his failure to produce certain documents demanded by a Senate committee which investigated airmail contracts, MacCracken is at liberty under $5,000 bond. He had acted as counsel for several persons involved in the airmail investigation. He contended that the power to sional inquiries rested solely with the courts. That contention was over thrown by the Supreme Court. The high court's decision was hailed by members of the Senate as up holding its right and capacity to con duct full and complete inquiries. Senator Wagner. Democrat, of New York termed it a "healthy thing." Jurney Is Pleased. Chesley W. Jurney, Senate ser geant at arms, who was harried almost to his wits' end when Mac Cracken first played a game of hide and seek with him and then, upon surrendering. Insisted upon staying in his oaptor's home as an uninvited guest, smiled when told of the de cision. He said he probably would call on MacCracken to surrender and go to the District of Columbia Jail once the time for reconsideration is past. State Rejects Child Labor Ban. SANTA FE. N. Mex.. February 5 OP).—New Mexico's House of Repre sentatives rejected yesterday by one vote, 24 to 23. ratification of the Fed eral child labor amendment. the matter, but we have no intention of acquiring shipyards." It was signed "Very sincerely yours. Franklin D. Roosevelt." The committee had no copy of the letter from Moore to the President pro testing granting of the Wilder loan. Wilder had testified earlier he was convinced there was collusion among the major shipbuilders. He had re peatedly named Bardo as one of the participants in conferences he de scribed as aimed at sharing the Navy's shipbuilding program among the larger yards at steadily increasing prices. Conflicting testimony given this week in the committee's study of alleged collusion among shipbuilders brought a threat of possible perjury proceedings yesterday from Senator Vandenberg. Republican, of Michigan. He said the committee would meet soon to decide whether the record should be turned over to the United States District attorney.

GUS BUCHHOLZ AND SON, Proprietors GOLD RULING TIME MIGHTBEMONDAY Court Attaches Suggest It as Ideal, With Next Day Holiday. By the Associated Press. Supreme Court attaches pointed out today that since next Tuesday Is Lin coln's birthday anniversary and a legal holiday, a court decision on the gold cases late Monday afternoon would serve to prevent violent fluctua tions of the stock market. One high administration official yesterday expressed to reporters his personal opinion that it would be de sirable to have the court disclose its decision late Saturday afternoon, which would give the markets the week end to adjust themselves. He said he was not communicating that view to the court, however, and had no idea when the opinion would come. Should the opinion be ready Mon day its delivery could easily be de layed until the close of the New York stock exchanges. The Securities Com mission could close exchanges farther west and keep them closed until Wednesday morning, or later if need be. Saturday Best for Exchange. However, a decision on Monday would not give the Government an opportunity to make arrangements for foreign exchange transactions. The foreign exchanges will all be open Tuesday. Whether the Supreme Court says yes or no on the gold clause cases, Treasury officials are especially glad these days that they have that two blllion dollar "kitty." The kitty—termed so affectionately by President Roosevelt—Is the "profit" the Treasury reaped when it said the dollar wouldn't contain so much gold any more While expressing every confidence that the high tribunal would uphold the Government's right to abrogate the gold clause, officials are known to be considering the kitty's possible role m case tne decision is adverse. Can Bolster Dollar. The question whether part of the two billion might be used as tempo rary succor to meet any immediate liabilities, if the decision should make any payments mandatory at once, has been considered in a wholly tentative way, authoritative sources said. No decision was reached, for that was described as a matter for the Presi dent to rule on. There appeared to be little doubt that the Treasury was ready to step into the foreign exchange market and use some of the $2,000,000,000 to up hold the dollar if it should slip. That function was set forth specifically in the act creating the fund. The fund will not be affected by the decision, the Treasury's best legal minds believe, because it came into being through devaluation of the dol lar, the validity of which is not at issue before the court.
