Discrepancies In R.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. (UP)
—A discrepancy between two Re
construction Finance Corporation
I reports on the $90,000,000 loan
to the Central Republic Bank &
Trust company, of Chicago, was
repoited out on the senate floor
yesterday by Senator Couzens,
Republican, Michigan.
He is chairman of a committee
named last session to investigate
R.F.C. advances. The Chicago
bank is headed by Charles G. I
Dawes, former president of the1
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion.
Couzens said there was a dif
ference between the report made
to his committee on the loan and
the report submitted yesterday to
the clerk of the house. He said
that on July 15 the R.F.C. report
ed to this committee that a $90.
000,000 authorization had been to
the Central Republic Bank &
Trust company, but that only
$40,000,000 had been disbursed.
The net indebtedness reported by
the corporation, after repayment
of $3,185,718 was $36,804,280
Couzens said.
"The report to the house shows
a divergence," he continued, add
ing ihat it represented the trans
action to have begun with dis
bursement of $90,000,000.
"Of this sum the house was in
formed that $i3in76.238 had been
repaid, leaving a net indebtedness i
of $06,422,7(51."
Later the R.F.C. told Couzens I
that when he inspected the books
July 15 only $40,000,000 had been
advanced but that later advances
brought the total to $90,000,000.
Couzens said the R.F.C. had in
formed him it had $120,000,000
in collateral to secure the loan.
Senator Blaine. Republican, Wis
consin, asked if the collateral
"embraced a large quantity of In-1
sull securities."
Couzens said he did not know, 'j
The Michigan senator offered a I
resolution to forbid further R.F. I
C. loans to railroads without con
sent of congress. It was referred
to tho banking and currency com
mittee. A subcommittee will be
gin hearings next week, he said.
Senator Copeland, Dem., N. Y.,
asked Couzenf? if he thought the
Interstate Commerce Commission
had been coerced into giving ap
proval to railroad loans.
Couzens replied he was unable
to say about "coercion," but that
he thought inflence had been
brought to bear. He declared
there would be no m»ed of further
loans to railroads if the pending
bankruptcy legislation is passed.

Senate Democrats
Fail To Back Quick
Billion Expense Cut
But Byrnes of S. C., Promises $800,000,
000 Savings to Government by
the First of July
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28 (UP)
| —Senate Democrats retreated to
| clay from the bold position taken
[ by their colleague, Senator Mil
lard Tydings, Maryland, for an
| immediate billion dollar cut in
government expenditures a n d
thereby drew taunts and jeers
from the Republicans.
At a party conference yester
day they decided tot reduce appro
priations to government income at
the earliest practicable time,
which v.as not at all what Tyd
ings proposed. Rut the Maryland
senator accepted the verdict of his
party. It means that real savings
to balance the budget must come
in the special session, not now.
Thus ended the one-day "tax
payers filibuster" with which the
younir Maryland senator stirred
up the senate Thursday and so
challenged his party that they
called the conference yesterday.
Tydl.igs went into the senate
chamber from the conference and j
proposed to withdraw his resolu
tion and substitute for it the mild
er resolution drafted by his col
leagues. Then Republicans decid
ed they would make capital of the
Democratic dilemma.
Senator Hamilton F. Kean, Re
publican. New Jersey, disclosed
the plot by objecting to withdraw
al of the resolulion. Vice Presi-,
dent Charles Curtis stood by Kean
to the amusement of the .ca.leries
and the discomfort of Tydings, j
and then Republicans proceeded
to play with the Democrats as a1

A dozen old employes ran the

cials of the Brigg* Manufacturing
company believe will break the
strike which yesterday stopped all
operations and forced Ford Motor

said today.
DETROIT. Mich.. Jan. 28.—
(UP).—State troopers last night
were ordered here for patrol duty
at factories where wage strikes
yesterday forced shut-down of the
nation-wide F'ord motor works.
Capt. Don Leonard announced
20 troopers quartered at the state
fair grounds, nearby the Briggs
Manufacturing company's High
land Park body plant, and 40
other guards who have been called
will protect laborers who go back
to work this morning.
The troopers x together with
from 150 bo 200 Detroit police
plan to prevent picketing at the
Briggs plant where strikers yes
terday were offered a new fixed
pay rate.
A wage strike abruptly slopped
production' of Ford motor cars,
threw 150,000 workers through
out the nation out of jobs and
sent the grey-haired manufactur
er, Henry Ford, on a dramatic
survey of the controversy that
may cost him $1,000,000 a day.
The state and city united to aid
the pioneer and two Detroit plants
that manufacture bodies for his
company, in swiftly ending the
strike. But workers in the assem
bly plants made no official move
to return to their jobs under a
new wage that amounts to an in
crease.
Mayor Frank Murphy conferred
with numbers of his unemploy
ment committee last night and de
cided to appoint a fact-finding
body of ten to study the wage
strike. He immediately named
three Detroit clergymen to the
committee, planning to appoint
the seven other members at once.

15 FOREIGN ACTORS MUST QUIT
HOLLYWOOD; IRREGULARITIES OR

HOLLYWOOD. Calif., Jan. 28.
(UP).—Federal immigration offi
cials moved into the film colony
en masse last night, cutting short
the careers of 15 foreign actors
and actresses who failed to pro
duce the proper passports and vis
iting permits.
All the players voluntarily
agreed to leave the United States,
Murray W. Garsson, special assis
tant secretary of labor, disclosed.
The.v can not return, he said .un
til they have adjusted the irregu
larities or obtain entrance under
the quotas of their nativp lands.
Carsson refused to list the per
formers affected, claiming this
was prevented by law. Racquel
Torres, prominent Mexican ac
tress, was reported to be amon^
the voluntary "exiles."
Only one Hollywood figure,
John Farrow, scenario writer, has
been taken into custody by the
agents, whose drive has been ex
pected for several weeks.
Farrow was released under S2,
500 bond in connection with an
alleged false claim that he was a
diplomatic representative of Rou
mania. Authorities indicated he

times been reported engaged t o

Farrow has worked at various
studios as a writer and recently1

abroad. It was at his beach home
that the famous Vivian Duncan

| BERLIN, Jan. 28. (UP)—Gen.
Kurt Von Schleicher, German

for a dictatorship. Nezi Leader,
Adolf Hitler, is expected to suc

burg commissioned Former Chan

a cabinet but it was believed he
! would fail and that Hitler would
then be selected.
The chancellor had an engage

were to be sought. Von Schlei

reject ' »n Schleicher's req' est
and tli . the resignation would re

that former Premier Franz Von

It w\s uncertain, however last

Whether Hitler would accept
