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.

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.

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?” No time like May • • • No way like GREYHOUND Hand rids liki this*: NEW YORK..$5.50 PHILADELPHIA _3 50 BOSTON...8.00 CLEVELAND .. 8 50 PITTSBURGH.6.50 NORFOLK _4.20 RICHMOND..3 00 i RALEIGH _4.00 CINCINNATI ..11.25 1 DETROIT .-11.00 Just Compare Fares and Service!
