Insisting their removal was illegal, the five dismissed Commissioners retained keys and records of the office, despite a formal de- mand by the new members who took their oaths of office before Pro and Con' On Money Rule WASHINGTON, June 30 A. Hundreds of thousands of words were spoken in the fierce argument over President Roosevelt's power to change the gold value of the dollar, but here are some principal arguments in nutshell: Roosevelt supporters said: The power must be continued as a club in the closet.

It prevents foreign nations from taking unfair trade advantages by juggling currency values; thwarts speculators bent on profiting from artificial currency gyrations; prevents international bankers from regaining control of the Nation's money; strengthen national defense by protecting trade. Roosevelt critics said: The existence of the power disturbs business because traders never can be sure that the dol-lar's value may not be changed overnight; tinkering with the dollar is not the way to promote recovery; the authority to change the unit of value in which nearly all prices, wages and debts are expressed is too great a power to place in one man's hand.

SHUSIS FIIS TIE OUT PETITIONS A group of South Philadelphia Republicans yesterday injected City Solicitor Joseph Sharfsin Into the party's Mayoralty primaries. Nominating petitions in behalf of the city official were taken out by John A. Martin, of 1812 S. 22d st. BOOM RENEWED Sharfsin was out of the city, according to attaches of his office, and could not be located to determine whether he had authorized the use of his name.

Meanwhile the boom in behalf of Secretary of Revenue William J. Hamilton, was renewed as his friends said the former Sheriff was deluged with requests to run. Otherwise the Mayoralty situation on the Republican side was dormant as party leaders left the city for the week-end. Although State leaders denied any agreement had been reached, there were reports that party chieftains had arranged an accord to support Marion D. Patterson, of Blair 'county, for Justice of the Supreme Court.

HUGHES NOT IN RACE Responsible circles indicated that the party heads would maintain a 'hanus-off attitude and let the various candidates seeking to succeed Chief Justice John W. Kephart fight it out among themselves. Judge Howard W. Hughes, of Washington county, said he is not a candidate for the post, that "at the present time I have nomination petitions in circulation for re-election to the bench in my own county." Other candidates for the Republican nomination for the Appellate Court post are George Ross Hull, Harrisburg attorney, and Judge Sara Soffel, of Allegheny county.

Listing the Democrats on the public payroll, Cooke said that last year 48 of the 51 ward leaders of that party held jobs with a total salary of $230,500 annually.

"Hungry and harassed Democrats are squealing like pigs caught under a gate over the discovery that a majority of Republican ward leaders work for the city and State," said Cooke, "Since when have the Democratic politicos refused to take city. State or Federal jobs?" Conviction of former Secretary of Highways Roy E. Brownmiller on highway payroll padding charges, Cooke said, "makes the charges against the Republican committee members in Philadelphia sound like a feeble whistle in a midnight graveyard." Wage-Hour Law Enforcement Unit Centred in Phila. Double trouble is in store for businessmen in this area who seek to "experiment" with violations of Uncle Sam's new Wage-Hour law it became evident yesterday. Under a new set-up announced by Federal Wage-Hour Administrator Elmer F.

Andrews, Philadelphia today becomes the headquarters of a regional enforcement area including Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Its chief is Myron M. Caffey, the one-time Federal investigator who is given credit for starting Al Capone on his way to Jail. PLAXS LARGER STAFF Caffey was named director of the Philadelphia office last winter, and still maintains offices at 1222 Wid-ener Building. But now he plans to expand.

Apologizing for the "inadequacy" of his office space, he revealed to reporters yesterday that his staff of investigators, legal counsel and stenographers is to be doubled, and will be housed beginning next week in permanent regional headquarters at 1630 Widener Building, where they will have 2200 feet of floor space, four offices, an inspector's room and quarters for stenographers. SET FOR INVESTIGATIONS At present Caffey's staff Includes only John Gallagher, regional attorney; seven inspectors and three stenographers. Doubling his force, he said, will enable him to investigate about 200 firms in Philadelphia alone during July. Current provisions of the law Caffey is to enforce call for payment of 25 cents an hour as minimum wages to all employees of firms engaged in interstate commerce, and a maxi- mum of 44 working hours a with payment at time-and-a-half for overtime. On Oct.

24. the sched- i ules will be extended, Caffey pointed out, tq 30 cents an hour and a 42-hour week. By Paul Mallon Continued From First Pare making dizzy statements about the hopes for AFL-CIO peace, and once some labor leader suggested it would be better for her to sap nothing, although he suggested it more emphatically. Perhaps there is a reason for her dizziness. The other night CIO's John Lewis came out to her home to see her.

She had issued a general invitation to him to drop in when he could. He talked pleasantly about everything in general, nothing in particular. Her hopes were raised. Five minutes after he hid gone, a newsman called her and told her Lewis had issued a statement earlier in the day saying peace was impossible. Non-New Dealing Congressmen are urging Undersecretary Hanes to remain in the Treasury, believing he may be able to stop some of the funnier ideas that occur to the theorists but he may not.

Fakes Suicide In Delaware The Harbor Police were dragging the Delaware for his body yesterday when Horace Brown, 28, walked into the Runnemede, N. police Btation and said he had faked a suicide to try to bring back his estranged wife. "I thought the publicity I would get by disappearing would make her sorry for me," Brown said, declaring his wife had left his home on 1st ave.

near Oaklyn. in Runnemede, on June 2, and that he was "nearly crazy." Brown, a runner for a Philadelphia brokerage firm, left his car on a Pennsylvania Railroad ferry at the foot of Market st. at 10.50 A. to make police think he had leaped overboard. Before he turned up at Runnemede at 2.30 P.

city. State and harbor police were looking for him. a crowd of 500 in City Hall. Although, politically speaking, the two groups were at bitter odds, the personal relations between the old and new members were amicable as they sat down during two conferences to adjust differences. MEET RESISTANCE The new members of the board, Theodore D.

Starr, Mrs. Sara S. McNeil and Magistrate Charles Amo-dei their oaths administered at noon by Judge Robert E. Lamberton and tnen marched to the City Hall Annex to tak over their duties. But they met stubborn resistance at the hands of their predecessors, John L.

Barrett, John B. Albany, William Deppenschmidt, James H. (Shooey) Malone and Francis S. Cantrell, although all five admitted receiving notices of dismissal from the Governor. Unless one or the other group brings court proceedings to iron out the dispute, the city's registration machinery will be in the hands of two boards.

Both boards were represented by counsel during the two conferences, James H. Masterson appearing in behalf of the Democratic-controlled group and Marshal H. Morgan for the James appointees. Each group maintained that the other should start legal proceedings to determine who was in charge, although Albany said that if State Police took possession of the office the old board would vacate. "The Commissioners appointed by Gov.

James asked us to vacate the office and we replied we would not," Barrett said after the conclusion of the second conference. "We did, however, tell the Governor's appointees we would be glad to co-operate in some amicable arrangement pending the outcome of court proceedings." The James appointees said they refused to enter into any "deal" because they were the legally constituted members of the commission. PROMISES HONEST VOTE "In pursuance to our commission received from the Governor," said Amodei, "we came here to take charge. We shall immediately proceed to carry out our duties in accordance with the provisions of the law and see that every voter registered is given a chance to vote regardless of party affiliation. We hope to clean up any defects in registration so as to assure clean and honest elections." Employees of the old board, although on the anxious seat because they realize once the new board takes over there will be a general shakeup, continued, however, to take orders from the ousted commissioners.

In the presence of the employees Albany took the new mtt bers on an inspection tour of the floor offices of the commission. Both groups did agree to Jointly sign the payroll for the 78 employees, since Comptroller Robert C. White said he would hold up all pay checks until the misunderstanding was cleared up. President Gets Bill For Air Corps Funds WASHINGTON, June 30 (U.

NEW DEAL OUTGENERALED Outgeneraled by the Republicarl the Administration leadership played into the hands of thehf opponents by delaying Senate consideration of the relief bill for four hours after It was passed by the House. This blundering maneuver shortened the time allowed the Senate for consideration of both emerge ency measures and greatly enhanced; the Republican chances of talking the monetary measure to death. i With the filibuster successful, the President lot, at least his power to devalue the dollar andj the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fundi expired. Only the Treasury's cower to con- tlnue the purchase of domestic andj foreign silver remained.

This pow er derives from the Silver Purchase Act, not from the monetary bill. BITTER DUEL JLV HOUSE dnnmlpMnar t.h rout, thu State Senators, who started all thd trouble by entering into a deal with t.hn Kpnnt Rpnublinans to end tha devaluation powers, did not get their six-and-a-naif-cent increase in aie price of silver. The duel between the Administra tion leaders and the Renublicans. outraged by what they called a "trait-i orous run-out by tne senate suver bloc, opened in the House when the compromise monetary bill was called up immediately after the relief bill had been passed. With mounting bitterness and tortuous parliamentary maneuvering, the like of which has not been seen since the Supreme Court Reorganization filibuster, the battle raged on the House side for more than four hours before the conference report was accepted.

It was nearly 6 P. M. yesterday before the bill reached tha desk of the Senate. Anticipating a filibuster. President Roosevelt, at his press conference, that the country would hold th( tr strict BCCOUnt for any unsettlement of the dollar and international currencies that might follow the lapse of his mone tary controls.

He said the TeoDle would under stand the situation perfectly and re- marKea tnat tne peopie wouia not fa.vorabW Inclined toward the fili busters to put it miiaiy. REPUBLICANS DETERMINED The President's fear received early, confirmation in the blunt announcements of the Senate Republican leaders that the monetary bill would never come to a vote in the Senate. Long before the House took up tha measure. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg Mich.) said there would be "many speeches against the and Senator the acting minority leader, predicted the bill would be talked to death.

Vandenberg, one of the most active participants in the Senate filibuster, read, a pronouncement by the Economic Committee on Monetary Policy in refutation of President Roosevelt's Hyde Park declaration that termination of the dollar devaluation powers would impair national defense and return control of money to Wall Street. The committee, which include some two score professors of economics and bankers, declared against continuing the devaluation powers and the purchase of silver at a price above the world price.

HARKNESS Continued From First Page House's that the Senate would not vote to lift the arms and ammunition embargo because a bloc of "isolationists" had threatened to filibuster "until September if necessary" to defeat any such provision. The bill as passed by the House carried so few new features, however, that the Administration could not be deeply disappointed should it die in the Senate.

ASKED EMBARGO REPEAL Mr. Roosevelt-asked outright repeal of the arms embargo. The House refused. Hull recommended giving the President sole authority to proclaim a state of war existed between two or more foreign countries. The House voted that Congress should have the same power, through adop tion of a concurrent resolution.

The President desired authority to proclaim "areas of combat opera tions" in which "United States citi zens could not visit and vessels fly ing the American flag could not trav el. The House struck it out. The specific question on which the House gave Mr. Roosevelt his worst defeat tonight was the amendment introduced by Rep. John M.

Vorys to write back into the new bill the arms and ammunition embargo. The House approved the Vorys amendment by 2 votes Friday night. Administration leaders hoped to reverse the decision last night, however, by offering its new measure. However, enough Democrats Joined with Republicans to keep American guns, bullets and airplane bombers out of any foreign conflict. RAYBURN, BANKHEAD SPEAK In the tense hour before the final balloting, Rayburn and Bankhead pleaded with House members to repeal the embargo.

"As God is my Judge," Rayburn declared before a quiet House, "as I cast my vote for repeal of the arms embargo I will be thinking first of America and next of the peace and happiness of the world." Making it plain that the Administration was thinking of the territorial ambitions of Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler and Premier Benito Mussolini in attempting to reshape the United States' foreign policy with its new neutrality bill, Rayburn went on: "When men want to control the world by force, is It immoral to sell bombs and arms to a little weak country so it can protect its freedom against would-be dictators?" SPEAKER GETS OVATION Bankhead received a rising ovation when he went to the Speaker's rostrum and adjusted the loudspeaker microphone. The veteran Speaker recalled the scene in the House on April 6, 1917, when the body voted to make war on Germany. "On that fateful night," he said, "all of us underwent a spiritual crucifixion before we voted for war. "I despise war as an inhumane institution. That Is one of the reasons I am supporting the proposed bill without the arms embargo and without the Vorys amendment.

I firmly and honestly believe that the adoption of this bill would be a great gesture to keep the United States out of war." Bankhead told the House that pas sage of the measure "would mean the safest and surest way for us to remove the shackles now on the President and the Secretary of State and give them absolute freedom in the conduct of our foreign FISH LEADS OPPOSITION Rep. Hamilton Fish N. who lead opposition to the measure throughout the five-day fight, called the AdminLstraticn measure a "bill that would send us marching into war." "As God is my Judge," he said echoing Rayburn's phrase, "and because I love America, I propose to vote for the Vorys amendment. "I am convinced that if thi3 bill passes without the embargo on lethal weapons, it will mean that the United States will follow its 'blood money into war itself." The House listened to the three short speeches with rapt attention. Only once, when Rayburn was in the midst of his plea did the House break Its calm.

Then one unidentified Republican member gave a loud "tsk, tsk." Rayburn stopped speaking. His face flushed. "Listen," he finally said. "Don't try to kid me. Kidders never get to be a leader in this House." VOTE ON ADOPTION After the three speeches for and against the measure, the House, sitting as a committee of the whole, voted on adoption of the Administration's substitute as a single amendment taking the place of the whole bill originally Introduced by Acting Chairman Sol Bloom N.

of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The substitute carried. 173 to 146, on a standing vote. But when a recount was taken, with members filing up the middle aisle to be counted, the substitute was defeated, 180 to 176. Republicans shouted and pounded each other on the back.

The effect of the teller balloting was to kill the substitute and make the business before the House the original Bloom bill with the controversial Vorys amendment an integral feature. SEPARATE VOTE ASKED The House rose from its committee status at 10.30 P. M. Bloom asked for a separate vote on the Vorys amendment. The proposal carried, 195 to 187.

Bloom next requested a roll call. Cries of "no, no" came from his Democratic colleagues, who desired to support the Administration's attempt to reverse the embargo provision, but who did not desire to be placed formally on record in favor of America conducting a munitions trade with any foreign country involved in war. The Administration had come forward with its substitute late in the evening to save its followers from just such embarrasment. But the unusual parliamentary strategy backfired when the Democratic-Republican coalition killed the substitute bill and then went ahead to re-adopt the arnendment. WASHINGTON, June 30 (A.

A Senate-approved bill to forbid pernicious political activity finally emerged from the House Judiciary Committee today, but in such a form that its author. Senator Carl A. Hatch N. declared the measure had been "emasculated." Reporting to his colleagues that the House committee had eliminated a section restricting political activity by Federal employees, Hatch told the Senate: "This action by the committee presents an open, direct and positive challenge to the leadership of the Democratic Party. That leadership, having openly declared in favor of the objectives, is now confronted with the opportunity of writing its professed beliefs into law." President Roosevelt recently told a press conference that everyone was agreed on the objectives of the bUl, but that the measure was badly drawn and that the House committee was re-drafting it.

Republicans had raised the question whether Administration leaders intended to block the measure, which passed the Senate April 24. Hatch said Rep, John J. Dempsey N. had announced that he would seek to amend the bill on the floor to restore the stricken section. NLRB Probe Bill Given to House by Rules Committee WASHINGTON." June 30 The House Rules Committee today, favorably reported a resolution creating a special House committee to investigate the National Labor Relations Board and its administration of the Wagner Act.

The action cleared the way for House consideration of the resolution, sponsored by Rep. Howard W. Smith Va.) and presaged a bitter floor fight, with the more than 160 House Republicans expected to join a bloc of conservative Democrats in support of the measure. Under the resolution, the special committee may recommend legisla tion which would have a privileged status over any legislation reccm mended by the Labor Committee, now holding hearings on the Wagner Act. Conservative Democrats have threatened to force adoption of such a resolution if the Labor Committee does not report amendments to the Wagner Act.

The investigating committee would be charged to report: 1. On the increase or decrease in strikes and labor disputes since the board began functioning. 2. Whether amendments are needed. 3.

Whether the board has been biased toward one labor group or another, as charged by American Federation of Labor, and whether it has "consistently refused to recog nize any rights of the 4. Whether the board has been fair and impartial, what effect its rules and regulations have had, and whether Congress should redefine the term interstate commerce to fix more clearly the beard's sphere of authority.

McCloskey, last night denied charges of Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ickes that his contracting firm received Information from employees of the Pennsylvania General State Authority enabling it" to make a low bid in connection with the construction of two units at the Jprristown State Hospital. Ickes, In Washington, declared that he had approved an administrative order withholding PWA funds amounting to approximately for construction work at the in stitution because an Investigation re vealed alleged bidding irregularities.

Total estimated cost of the first unit is $490,000, while the second unit would amount to $633,000, according to PWA officials. The exact amount of the PWA funds involved could not be determined, it was explained, because the grants were made on a relief labor grant basis. State Road Delay i Perils WPA Jobs By GERSON H.

They added that 95 per cent, of those dismissed would be eligible for direct assistance from the State and that it will take $1,200,000 a month to take care of those fired. Department of Assistance officials said they could not estimate what additional burden the firings add to the- relief system since there is a three-week waiting period between application for relief and acceptance. Roosevelt Plans Tour Soon After Adjournment WASHINGTON, June 30 (A. President Roosevelt said today he probably would start a trip to the West Coast four days after Congress adjourns but reporters at his press conference weren't sure Just hew he meant the remark. The date of the trip lias been a frequent press conference topic.

Today the President tossed off his latest comment on it with a quick grin and told his questioners facetiously that thus they know all about the ROOSEVELT SIGNS RELIEF MEASURE By WILLIAM C. MURFIir, JR. Continued From First Fa vent action before 1 A. it. on the bill further to extend the President's power to devalue the dollar.

A smart parliamentary trick which backfired in the faces of Administration leaders aided those Senators. The trick was an attempt get the monetary conference report adopted by the House and taken up by the Senate before the latter body had a chance to begin consideration of the relief bill. Then, the Idea was. those opposing the monetary bill could be accused of filibustering against relief funds. Although the House adopted the relief conference report at about 2 P.

M. yesterday, for some unexplained reason it was not reported to trie Senate until 4.45 P. M. Several Senators, including Alva Adams Colo.) and Kenneth D. McKellar Tenn.) registered open complaints at this delay in transmitting the report from one end of the Capitol to the other a distance of less than two blocks.

Senator Warren R. Austin acting minority leader, pointed out that tile House, at about 2.30, had adopted a conference report on the third deficiency bill and that It had been transmitted to the Senate and approved by that body before 3.30. NEW DEAL GIVES IN The opposition served notice on the Administration that if the monetary bill report was placed before the Senate before the relief measure, there would be a motion offered to take up the relief bill instead, and that a roll call would be forced to fix responsibility for side-tracking the relief measure. Finally, the Administration leaders realized that their stratagem had merely played into the hands of the opposition, and the relief report materialized very quickly. With nearly three hours gained through the failure of the attempted trick, the opposition then took up the job of debating relief long enough to prevent action by 1 A.

M. on the monetary bill. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg Mich.) took the floor to complain that the Administration had refused to return the handling of relief to the various States. Senator John A.

Danaher Conn.) followed with a discussion of "relief in politics" and with a recitation of charges that the WPA had been responsible for "reprehensible" practices in his State. Both Vandenberg and Danaher succeeded in getting under the hides of some of the Administration Senators to the extent that the latter undertook to reply thus consuming time, which was what the opposition wanted. There appeared to be no disposition on the part of anyone to filibuster the relief bill beyond the 1 A. M. deadline.

It was apparent that it would be allowed to pass as soon as the opposition felt sure the time left be insufficient for approval of the monetary bill. As revised by the conference committee, the relief bill carried a total of $1,756,600,000, which was less than the total in the Senate draft, but $20,000,000 more than originally approved by the House. The children would come in over a two-year period and would have to be 14 or under. The committee also approved a bill by Senator Robert R. Reynolds requiring aliens in this country to be fingerprinted.
