BUDGET LEAK QUIZ
FIGURE QUITS IOB
Kenneth Butt, Under Fire in
British Probe, Resigns
From Insurance Firm.
BACKGROUND—
Britain's vast armament program,
talked for months, necessitates
heavy taxes. Speculation over bud
get was stirred to high pitch re
cently by claims of a "leak" in es
timates to benefit some of the
wealthy. British justice moved
swiftly to place the blame, if any.
* By thy Associated Press.
LONDON, May 21—One of the
eentral figures of the British budget
leakage inquiry, Kenneth Butt, re
signed today from the firm of insur
ance brokers by which he was em
ployed.
tion was made as the three-man
tribunal, after hearing all testimony
’ In its investigation into reports that
a betrayal of budget secrets prompted
a rush for insurance against increased
taxes, met privately in the Law Courts
The justices were understood to be
beginning preparation of their report
to be submitted to the cabinet.
Kenneth Butt, son of Sir Alfred
Butt, w-ealthy member of Parliament
was recalled to the stand Tuesday
after testifying Monday, and acknowl
edged he told "only half the truth’
when questioned by his employers con
cerning insurance against increased
income taxes.
Under close examination, Kenneth
Butt said he used the name “A. E
Harrison” as representing a clienl
negotiating for insurance, although
the purchases actually were for hi!
father.
The young broker insisted no hara
would have come from listing the in
surance in his father’s name, but h<
used the other name "because mj
father had told me to do it in Har
rison’s name. I did not know I hat
his permission to disclose it.”
Sir Alfred Butt is a close friend o
Colonial Secretary J. H. Thomas, wh<
gave the closing testimony of the in
quiry yesterday with a denial that h
was acquainted with any of three wit
nesses who mentioned his name in
connection with an alleged escape of
official secrets before the budget was
announced last month.
Political sources expected Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin to attempt
to end any disaffection within hW
Conservative party’s ranks tonight in
an address to an annual party ban
quet.

SNAGS FACE BILL
ON FLOOD CONTROL
Barriers Seen Ahead as
$384,000,000 Plan Avoids
Early Obstacles.
By the Associated Preaa.
Steering clear of early obstacles the
Senate today drove the $384,000,000
flood control bill along a course still
filled with legislative snags.
Immediately ahead was a threat
by a group led by Senators Davis,
Republican of Penasylvania, and Bil
bo, Democrat of Mississippi, to elim
inate a section compelling states to
bear compensation for land and dam
age costs sustained in flood control
projects.
Another looming barrier was the
objection of Senator King, Democrat
of Utah, to the proposal to form a
five-member national resources board
which would report on flood control
operations.
Provisions which were guided safely
through debate during the bill's first
day In the Senate yesterday Included:
The right of President Roosevelt to
decide which projects should be start
ed first.
Elimination of projects not approved
by Army engineers.
By a 40 to 31 vote the Senate stipu
lated that the President should be
allowed to decide which projects work
would be begun on first.
Opposing this section, Senator Clark
Democrat of Missouri, objected that
the $50,000,000 which may be spent
next year would all be used to finance
works in Pennsylvania and New York.
The Senate by a voice vote de
feated a move which would have
opened the bill to projects not ap
proved by the Army engineers.
“Are we going to let some Army
engineer tell us what projects we
may put in the bill?” asked Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana.
“Haven’t we got courage enough to de
cide for ourselves?”

It attacks periodic constipation, GAS bloat
ing and Indigestion positively and effectively.
It quickly expels GAS that often presses
heart and lungs, upsetting digestion and
making life miserable. Adlerika cleans out
the constipated bowels of old, poisonous,
waste matter that may have caused you
headaches, backaches, pimply, sallow skin
and foul breath for months.
Adlerika's SEVEN Ingredients act directly
on the stomach and BOTH bowels. Most
laxatives act on the lower bowel only.
Dr." H. L. Shoub of New York City says:
«/n addition to intestinal cleansing, Ad- j
lerika greatly reduces bacteria and colon \
bacilli.’,

you can't eat or sleep due to GAS and con
stipation, give your stomach and bowels a
REAL cleansing with Adlerika. Use it for
just one week and see how it helps to restore
natural bowel action. Notice it does not
wear out like ordinary laxatives. Adlerika
is not habit forming—never gripes. Sold, by
all druggists and drug departments.
