GOLD suns
BILL FACING
SENATE TILT
Measure Is Safely
Past House, But
Other Branch Due
To Be Stubborn
WASHINGTON. July 19.
Though the house was passed the
Roosevelt bill to clcse the door to
suits against the government from
dollar devaluation, a fight awaits It
In the senate.
Some senators on the banking
committee predicted Friday that the
committee would report adversely
on the measure.
If that should be the case it would
be the first adverse report from a
senate committee on any of Presi
dent Roosevelt’s major legislative
proposals. Administration leaders
still were hopeful, however, of a
favorable report, In view of the swift
house approval of the measure
Thursday by a vote of 258 to 88
Predictions that the committee
would oppose the measure were bas
ed upon criticism of it in the re
cent hearings, led by Senators
Glass (D-Va.) and McAdoo (D
Callf), former treasury secretaries.
Com prom tea Studied
Regardless of the committee’s ac
tion, the senate reaction to the pro
posal to block suits for recovery of
processing taxes forebodes trouble
for the gold clause legislation.
Opposition to closing the courts to
aggrevied citizens sprang from both
sides in Thursday's debate and forc
ed consideration of a compromise
under which those showing they had
been damaged could obtain trial.
A similar modification of he gold
clause resolution is pending in the
banking committee, backed by Sena
tor Gore <D-Oklai. Such a clause
would virtually destroy the effect of
the resolution, for the supreme court
already had indicated that is the
only kind of case that would have
standing.
The legislation is frankly designed
to prevent suits even If damage
could be shown.
Both Sides Argued
McAdoo and Glass have denounc
ed the proposal as “repudiation” and
predicted it would have dire cons, -
kquences on government credit. Sec
retary Morgenthau argued that It
would help federal credit by re
"r moving the threat of the suits.
Before the overwhelming house
approval, a republican effort to send
the bill back to committee was beat
en back with a 250 to 92 vote. The
motion, mad# by Representative
Hollister (R-Ohio) was designed to
make the government’s refusal to
be sued apply only to gold cases. As
It stands the resolution applies to
suits involving any government se
curities. coins or currencies.

Church Renovated
HARLINGEN. July 19.—Members
of the congregation of St. Paul's
Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod)
assembled the past two weeks and
gave the church at 301E. Tyler Ave.,
a renovation. The church was
painted on the outside last week
and the Interior Is being gone over
this week. Rev. H. Kramer is the
pastor.
Gold produced in Alaska during
1931 was valued at $9,343,000, an
increase of approximately a million
dollars over the previous year’s
production.
Mr*. Anna Sage, popularly sup
posed to have put Dillinger on the
spot for the “O’ men, added details
Friday to her story which she told
Thursday for the first time when
she was found tn Chicago.
Known as "the woman In red”
because of the drees she wore on
tne night she and Polly Hamilton
accompanied Dillinger when he
walked out of the Biograph Theater
on Chicago’s northwest side and in
to the withering gun fire of depart
ment of justice agents, Mrs. Sage
disclosed Incidents In the life of
the gangster she says she knew as
Jimmie Lawrence.
"Jimmie, whom I now know was
John Dillinger, was never without
the' latest editions of the news
papers,” she said. "He would sit
down and for hours he would avidly
read the details of Dillinger’*
crimes.
"‘Jimmie’ said he thought DO
linger must have been very clever.
He said Dillinger was too smart for
the cops. Now I know whv ‘Jimmie’
thought so highly of Dillinger.”
Mrs. Sage, who has denied that
she put Dillinger on the spot for
department of justice agents, re
called a conversation with the
gangster In June, 1934, on the same
day a South Bend, Ind., bank was
held up and one man killed and
tfiree others wounded. Dillinger has
since been named by police as the
man who led the bandits.
"That same night,” she said,
“‘Jimmie’ or Dillinger, aat at the
kitchen table in my apartment sip
ping coffee and reading newspaper
aeoounts of the holdup.
"I said, that's a horrible thing.
The men who did that should be
captured and hung.'
> "Jimmy sat kind of thoughtful
for a moment, and. without looking
up from his paper,” said, ‘Yeah. I
guess you’re right. That’s pretty
lousy, isn’t If
Despite the oft-repeated asser
tion of police that she knew the
sweetheart of Polly Hamilton was
John Dillinger, Mrs. Sage vehe
mently denied this charge.

POWER ISSUE
SPLITS LINES
Sale of Power Under F. D.*s
Plan Gets Following
From GOP Ranks
WASHINGTON, July 19 U*V-A
capital still agitated by the power
struggle found food for thought Fri
day in a situation which finds the
republican leader of the senate of
fering a bill to carry out a major
phase of the Roosevelt power pro
gram.
It was taken as a striking new in
dication that the electricity con
troversy—like so many other issues
in recent years—is one on which
neither party always lines up solid
ly, pro or con.
ifee setting was a White House
conference at which Senator Mc
Nary of Oregon, senate minority
leader, agreed to introduce a bill
providing for the administration of
the Bonneville Dam project in Ore
gon and the sale of power generated
there.
Sale of power under the Tennes
see Valley project has been one of
the chief focal points for attack on
the administration In the courts and
from some political leaders. It had
been hailed by republicans of the
more conservative kind as a prom
ising campaign issue for 1936. as sn
Instance of government competition
with private business.
In some respects the Bonneville
project is similar to TVA. In others
it is different. The 'Dennes.'ae Val
ley experiment is a broad scale plan
for virtually rebuilding an entire
section of the country. Bonneville
is eonflned to navigation and pow
er.
But while soil erosion, fertiliser
production, colonization and other
collateral features of TVA are ab
sent from the Oregon program, its
power angle closely parallels the
situation in the Tennesse Valley.
In both oases dams were erected
by the federal government as navi
gation aids, with power a bl-product.
A district court held the sale of
power by the TVA illegal, but the
decision recently was over-ruled by
the circuit court of appeals at New
Orleans. The case Is expected to go
to the supreme court.
