OAKLAND TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 8, 1933 FRENCH CABINET REFUSES TO VOTE DEBT PAYMENT 2 SENATE GAS KEY SYSTEM House Begins Hi eartngs on Rolph Holds Up Budget Signature for One Week To Consider Possible Cuts Court Holds 2 Kidnapers of Child in Bail LUMP SUM SUGGESTION From Page IS IGNORED BILL PUSSES Upper House Reverses Serf, To Permit Counties to Use Money for Dehts SACRAMENTO, May 8. Senate today reversed itself on the) question of gasoline tax diversion'- and voted to submit the proposal to the voters of California at the special election next month. On reconsideration of the Fellom bill to submit the question the Senate voted 33 to 7 in favor of the measure, which it had previously voted down 22 to 18, with 27 votes necessary for passage. The only votes cast against submission today were by Bush, Duval. Hayes, King, Schottkv.

Reawell and Snvrier. The proposal wift now so to the Assembly, which early yesterday refused to act on Assemblyman Charles W. Lyon's bill to divert money from the gasoline tax to the general fund. HUGE TRANSFER Lyon's bill would have authorized the transfer of $17,000,000 for this purpose, for the current biennium. By a vote of 43 to 34 the Assembly rejected the urgency clause, even though Lyon had promised to amend the bill to transfer only the amount needed for this biennium and leave the $8,445,000 of diversion for the next biennium to be settled after the recess.

Lyon was asked by Assemblyman William F. Knowland, of Alameda, if there would be sufficient money unobligated in the gasoline tax fund to make the transfei'. He said he had been informed by Finance Director Rolland A. that Ministers Hear Herriot's Report, Debate Surtax 'For American Goods PARIS. May 8.

Jfy-The French cabinet today unanimously took a flat stand against the payment to the United States of the defaulted Interest due last December 15 without a guarantee of a moratorium on tha June 15 debt payment. This decision was taken in a three-hour cabinet session, which canvassed -unofficially the suggestion for a lump sum settlement of the war debt to America, and other problems. The official communique issued afterward made no mention of the debt question, but it was learned from a reliable source that there was no divergence of views on this subject. The cabinet came to this conclusion after a thorough examination of the report presented to Premier by Edouard Herriot, who recently returned from Washington, with M. Herriot's observation.

The cabinet Is understood to have xlmlned among other plans the advisability of the imposition of a iurtax upon American goods. The cabinet also reviewed the financial and commercial outlook. There was no change In the previous decision that the franc is safe, yThe French gold coverage amounts to vo per ceni. Billion Dollar Gold Settlement Talked PARIS. May 8.

Disappointment May riews OI me aecision OI me irencn cabinet on war debts demanding a guarantee of a moratorium on the i June 15 payment was received with ome disappointment in aaministra tlon circles. It was reiterated authoritatively that the United States is still expecting the European debtors to pay the June 15 installments, at least pariiaiiy. 'A postponement of these pay ments could not be promised by President Roosevelt without the ap-' proval of Congress and he has not asked Congress for this authority. The guarantee demanded by France as a basis of meeting her defaulted December 15 payment is regarded as Very Improbable just now. The President has Indicated a willingness to discuss war debts re-: vision after the London economic conference but there is every indi- cation that he will seek at least a partial payment June 15 Just three days after the London parley opens.

Dt" JIFF TALKS Acceptance of One 'Armis-tice' in Exchange for Another Seen as London Goal By FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, May 8. U.P) Great Britain will agree to the United States' proposal for an economic truce on war debt payments, it Was reported authoritatively today. This new development gained substantiation in quarters close to the government and observers immediately seized upon it as the explanation of Downing Street's week-long resistance to America's frantic efforts to Rain British approval of a tariff armistice.

Norman Davis, American ambassador at large, has been in London for over a week with "this" as his major objective. It was understood the cabinet was not satisfied with intimations from Washington that President Roosevelt intended to ask Congress for authority to negotiate the war debts. Instead the cabinet wants stronger assurances that Congress will place the President in a position to grant a moratorium on the payment due June 15. Belgium Approves Of Tariff Truce WASHINGTON, May 8. P) The unqualified agreement of Belgium to a tariff truce as proposed by the United States was announced today by Undersecretary William Phillips after a conference with Belgian representatives at the State Department.

Phillips said the conference with the Belgian ambassador and an expert assistant marked the beginning of conversations with that country preparatory to the world economic conference. The was made kndwn as the United States, renewed its efforts to obtftjn Great Britain's' agreement to the tariff truce designed to prevent further boosting of barriers between now and the economic conference at London June 12 and thus to create a more favorable atmosphere. France has accepted with reser Japan has Indicated it would do likewise. The Italian spokesman, Guido Jung, who talked with Pesjtont Roosevelt here last jbimSirwith the1 President in describing "such an agreement as Imperative. In addition, Dr.

Hjalmar Schacht, German representative in the White House conversations, has asserted Germany will join in the plan. Roosevelt Greets Soong, Eyes London WASHINGTON, May 8. CP) President Roosevelt shifted the world-beam of his economic discussions temporarily from Europe to the Orient today as he welcomed T. V. Soong.

China's youthful Minister of Finance, determined that despite rising obstacles the world conference "must succeed." Even the explosive political ques tions of the Far East-however, fail ed to turn the spotlight far from the highly-charged war debt problem. With payments totaling due from debtors within five weeks, and with rumblings of opposition coming from some factions of the Democratic leadership against any postponement or revision, the President Is faced shortly with choosing his course. Early parleys with congressional chieftains are in prospect. Eyen as President Roosevelt entertained China's finance minis ter at luncheon today he main tained a lively interest in develop, ments In Great Britain, where Nor. man Davis, America's Ambassador.

at-Large, has been detained in an effort to obtain -British agreement on a world tariff truce. He regards this as highly important in smoothing the way for the London conference. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, Reichsbank chief German rep resentative, who began discussions with President Roosevelt Saturday also is continuing his conversations with American officials today. Alberto J.

Meanwhile the exact cause of the blaze, the most spectacular in the bay district In recent years, remained undetermined.

Eye witnesses declared an explosion near slip No. 2, where the Per-alta was moored, preceded the blaze. Company officials denied such a blast had occurred pointing out that eight 10.000 rrallon tanks of oil on the pier neither burned nor exnloded. The fire was discovered by G. H.

TOne theorv advanced was that ''We Oil fccrilne'rinrtifig from the storage tanks to the sltps might have sprung a leak and the oil ignited by a carelessly thrown cigar nr cigaret.

OAKLAND FIREMEN ARE HELPLESS. Lutkey pointed out that the Oakland department was virtually powerless in trying to combat the flames when electric power lines were cut off before apparatus got to the scene. The brunt of the fire-fighting was borne by the San Francisco fireboat, Dennis Sullivan, commanded by Captain F. L. Smith, mid by several tugs equipped with hose and pumps for the use of salt water.

The Oakland department was able to throw only fine piece of apparatus Into the battle, a pumping engine being loaded onto a flatcar and run out on the trestle. The firemen at the end of the pier were augmented by some thirty sailors and marines from Ycrb'a Buena Island under command of Lieutenant-Commander Frederick D. Powers. Captain Smith paid tribute to these volunteers, declaring: "I don't know what we would have done without them." The fireboat concentrated on the oil storage tanks and maintained steady streams of water pouring upon them. Officials declared this action probably averted a major explosion and perhaps loss of life.

THOUSANDS FLOCK TO WATERFRONT The blaze was visible from throughout the bay district, and thousands of persons flocked to the waterfront. All available police in Oakland were formed into emer gency details to clear traffic jams on the Southern Pacific mole, at the approach to the Key System pier and other points. When the flames were fi lally extinguished yesterday morning the pier was a mass of black, smouldering piles of timber, heaps of twisted metal and melted glass and mounds of tangled wire. Today this debris was being cleared away to prepare for resumption of operations tomorrow. City Council Commends Restoration of Service The City Council unanimously adopted a resolution this morning commending the Key System and Southern Pacific for their quick establishment of routine transbay service after the conflagration at the Key Route mole Saturday nifiht.

The resolution also urged prompt rebuilding of the Key Route mole and the restoration of Key System service. Councilman Herbert L. Beach, who introduced the resolution, advised it as "a gesture to show that the City of Oakland appreciates what has been done and wishes to sec (he rebuilding commence as speedily as possible."

Cooper Ohio) asked about the disposition of any funds resulting from savings. "If there were large and appreciable sums saved," Splawn rerlied, "I presume they would be shared with all participating in transportationincluding shippers and employees." "If the savings were not passed on," Cooper asked, "who would get them." "The bondholders, I presume," Splawn said. Wolverton N. asked: "These savings would be at the expense of labor?" "Part would result, no doubt, in laying off trains and employees," Splawn replied. "Part will result from transferring some of the expenses.

"If very substantial economies are realized, some men and some roads will lose their jobs." "Then the effect of the bill is to increase the purchasing power of bondholders and decrease the purchasing power of employees," Wolverton commented.

P) Kenneth and Cyril Buck, brothers, deaded not guilty today to the kidnaping of 10-year-old Mar garet McMath. Kenneth asKea continuance of his case and agreed with District Attorney William Crossley on May 22, but Cyril asked an immediate hearing.

The cases of both, however, were continued to May 22 and each was osdered held in $100,000 bail. The brothers were taken oacn to the Barnstable Jail. District Attorney Crossley, in aa- dressing the court, described inc case as one of "the greatest importance" and of a nature requiring heavy bail. Judge Robert A. Welsh.

30-year-old jurist, considered the argument several moments. BAIL. AT $100,000. EACH "Kidnaping is one of the most heinous crimes there is because of the worry and mental strain on those affected by it," he said. "After due consideration, I set the bail at $100,000 for each prisoner and con.

tinue their cases until May 22." There was conflict in the minds of the two prisoners as to wnen their hearines should be held.isen, neth, charged with kidnaping and extortion, asked that his case be continued a week to permit him to obtain a lawyer. Cyril charged only with extortion, wanted an immediate hearing, declaring he had no reason for withholding any knowledge of the kidnaping? He asked for a lawyer. Judge Welsh declared a three-minute recess to give the brothers an opportunity to confer. District Attorney Crossley told the court that he believed it would be fairer to the brothers if their cases were heard together. Cyril finally agreed to have his case heard with that of his brother.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY- Crossley said he expected a spe cial session of the Grand Jury would be held to consider the kid naping, before' the ease came up again. The first complaint was that against Kenneth. He arose and in calm, cool manner answered "not guilty" and sat down. The complaint against Cyril was read loudly because he is hard of hearing. In an equally loud voice replied, "I am not Rujtlty." The court inquired if Cyril had 'heardshe complaint all right to, which the defendant answered, "yes." Judge Welsh then asked if .111 concerned were ready to proceed with the hearing.

Kenneth again arose to say: "I have no lawyer and I anything about law myself. I don't know what to do." "I see no reason why any infor mation I have should be concealed now," Cyril said. "I don't see why what I have to say can't be said now. I gladtaLoffer to give any evidence I havSJight now." HINTS AT THIRD MAN While sitting in the prisoners' box awaiting arraignment for the kidnaping of 10-year-old Peggy McMath, Kenneth Buck today told reporters that there was some one else involved in the crime who ran away and left him to take the blame. With Kenneth in the prisoners' box was his brother Cyril, also held for the kidnaping, but Cyril remained silent Kenneth was asked: "Is it true that there is some one else in on this case?" "Yes, there is," he replied, and began to shake with sobbing.

"I am between them and my wife," he continued, "and I don't know what to do. I know I didn't do it, and she knows I didn't do it. I am between them and my wife, and I can't say anything." Both Kenneth and Cyril were held incomunicado in ceils widely separated. Cyril was locked in the upper tier of a cell block, and Kenneth occupied a lower tier cell far enough away to make communication with his brother difficult.

OPPOSED DIVERSION Assemblymen Sam Greene, of Inglewood, and Thomas A. Maloney, of San Francisco, argued against the proposed diversion and the Assembly, by failing to give the necessary two-thirds vote for the urgency clause, postponed further action on the measure until July.

Proponents of diversion have opposed the proposal to submit the question to the people on the ground that if the vote goes against diversion the Legislature's handj would be tied in the matter.

Opponents, on the other hand, have expressed confidence that the people would vote against diversion. Bgrher Finds Man Dead in Chair SAN FRANCISCO, May 8.
