SEEK SAFEGUARDS FOR NEW DEAL'S SPENDING SPREES Foes of Pump Priming Recklessness Hope to Tie Up Half of Public Works LONG, HARD FIGHT AHEAD Congress to Seek Stricter Control Over Appropriations bought For Relief By Associated Press Washington, May 28. Senate foes of the Administration's lend ing spending bill concentrated today on efforts to tie up more than $400,000,000 of the proposed 3bod, 000,000 public works appropriation for specific flood control, rivers and harbors and Army housing projects. Senator Byrd (D. a leading nnnonent of the measure, offered an amendment to eliminate the nublic works funds. However, most opponents of "pump priming said they had little hope this would be successful and that if it failed they would support amendments restricting how the money could be spent.

Another amendment that they decided to support would give already approved projects preferential status in distribution of any funds granted directly to the Public Works Administration. These restrictions would limit the discretionary powers of President Roosevelt and Secretary Ickes, the PWA Administrator, dispensing public works funds. Because many Senators would be assured of projects in their states, sponsors said they were hopeful the amendments would be adopted. Proponents of the changes asserted that the furious political debate on the relief measure had demonstrated that Congress should regain stricter control over appropriations. During the last few days most of the Senate debate has revoJved about charges of political admin istration of relief funds.

EMPLOYERS URGED TO SUPPORT GUARD (Continued From Page 1) should encourage these young men who express a desire to join in the work. In this way we can not only continue the great his toric traditions of our National Guard, not only maintain a fine body of active citizens readi develop that spirit of good citi zenship and patriotism which is essential to the preservation of our American institutions. "I want to particular stress upon the fact that the young men of Pennsylvania, 12,000 of them at the present time, are finding in their National Guard work a useful opportunity for both physical and mental development as well as for comradeship and public service," said the Governor. "In view of this work these young men are doing, and particularly in view of the fact that they will be the first line of defense of our country, I believe every employer should do his ut most to make it possible for those in his employ to participate in this work if they wish to do so. "No one need fear that the Na tional Guard will develop in our youth a rabid, militarism.

Service with the National Guard is in fact the best deterrent to militar istic fanaticism, because those who learn how wars are conducted learn also that wars are not romantic excursions. They come to realize also that they have a responsibility for the maintenance and defense of our institutions, and I have always held that ac ceptance of such responsibility is the first duty of a good citizen, The Governor, recalling that he was once a private and subse quently an officer in the Pennsylvania Guard, told his audience that the great flood of 1936 was the latest crisis in which the Guardsmen proved their worth. "By their immediate response to my call, their willingness to sacrifice their own interests and their own comfort, they were instrumental in saving hundreds of lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property," said the Governor. Into each of the eighty seven communities where Guard units are located, Earle said, the National Guardsmen bring "additional wealth, not only in educa tion and efficiency, but in actual cash. His pay for drill and field service has helped retail trade of the community, and the maintenance cost of the armories has swelled the income of the local bricklayer, 6tone mason, painter, metal worker, coal man, plumber, carpenter and electrician.

In fact there are few tradesmen or artisans who are not materially helped in some way by the local military company." The Governor pointed out that in addition to normal military training at armories and camps, dozens of Guardsmen each year are sent to Regular Army schools for radio, airplane pilots and me chanics, engineering, and motor vehicle mechanics. He also told of the $2,000,000 armory construction program now underway under the supervision of the General State Authority. $5000 IS NEEDED York, May 28 Less than $5000 now remains to be raised to bring the Visiting Nurse Association's Red Letter day fund to its $25, 000 goal.

The charges, contained in three separate indictments, named the three companies, their affiliated finance companies and 50 individuals. All were charged with con spiring to promote monopoly by coercing dealers to finance car sales through the companies' own finance firms. Losses Alleged Each indictment, Fleming said, alleged that the companies con spired toward "stifling and inter fering with interstate commerce for promotion of monopoly" and that their action caused "irrepara able damage" to small automobile finance companies. We are satisfied," Fleming said. "from the evidence presented to the grand jurors, we are convinced that the anti trust laws have been violated.

The case will be pressed to the full extent of the law with as few delays as possible. Trials probably will be conducted this fall in South Bend." Alfred P.

The rebuilding proposal was made in the survey report to the Dauphin county commissioners by Lawrie and Green, architects. President Judge William M. Hargest said that he and the other jurists are giving the plans serious study and will issue a statement sometime next week. Members of the special courthouse committee of the Dauphin County Bar Association likewise declined to comment at this time. Sterling G.

McNess, chairman of the committee, said the group will be prepared to suggest pos sible changes in the plans before the county commissioners take any official action. In the meantime, members of the board of county commis sioners are also silent, listening for public and official reactions to their proposal to solve the courthouse condition by means of elaborate improvements to the present structure, The historical aspect of the 77 year old building was emphasized in a radio address last night by Grant Ward of the soil conserva tion service of the Department of Agriculture, who termed the building a "Civil War shrine." After tracing the history of the courthouse from the day the structure stood as a log building at Front and Washington streets in 1785, he concluded: "And so today, thirty eight years after the beginning of the twentieth century, we still have the original Courthouse of 1861, a Civil War shrine, and the annex of 1894, a Spanish American War shrine. And so to the judges, lawyers and laymen of Dauphin County, I say carry on with your persistent building efforts and before many a blue moon may you emerge victorious."

MORGAN GIVEN REPUBLICAN POST WILLIAM H. HORNER FRED C. MORGAN (Continued From. Page 1) the electorate this fall with one of the strongest groups of candidates ever to have repre sented the Republican party of this Commonwealth." He defined the present State and National Democratic governments as "not by representation, as outlined in the Constitution, but rather by experimentation. The latter is always costly and might be justified were it to re sult in a general betterment in the condition of the Nation.

As you all know, such is not the case. "We are struggling under an unbelievable National debt; unemployment is higher than it has ever been during the history of the country, and conditions, are stead lly growing worse." The new chieftain referred to the advancement of "our country which developed to the position oi a world power" during the 75 years prior to 1930 "under almost continuous leadership by the Re publican party. "It is only fair to assume that our Constitutional Democracy, administered under the theories of government advanced by the Republican party, must be the answer." The retiring county chairman, Mr. Horner, in a brief address, asked the committeemen to elect "a younger man to lead the strenuous campaign." A resolution adding a third county vice president was accepted, and new vice chairmen were elected. They were: First, William L.

Gaugler, Washington township; second, Mrs. Blanche Lyter, Harrisburg, and third, Dr. Charles H. Crampton, Harrisburg. Other officers elected were: Secretary, Mrs.

Effie Eli, Lykens; assistant secretaries, Mrs. Ella Williamson, Lower Swatara township; Mrs. Paul Rupp, Steelton, and Mrs. Maude B. Coleman, Harrisburg; treasurer, Thomas J.

Nelley, Steelton. A committee to adopt resolutions was elected. It is: Derick W. Fahnestock, chairman, who is also warden of the Dauphin. Countv rison; Paul Kudy, Susquehanna townsnip, and Mrs.

Lena G. Pike. The first action of the commit tee was the adoption of four reso lutions that included unanimous support of the Republican candi dates in the fall election; a "restor ation of sound, constructive gov ernment and a return to the American way of repudiate the "destructive, racketeering type or government which George H. Earle has brought to the and offered "sincere thanks" to Mr. Horner, for "long and unselfish service." Candidates, locally, were introduced.

Among them were John C. Kunkel, for Congressman; Ray E. Taylor and David P. Reese, Legislative candidates from the city, and Robert E. Woodside, and William E.

Habbyshaw, from the county. Two Republican State candidates were introduced and spoke briefly. They were: Samuel S. Lewis, for Lieutenant Governor, and William S. Livengood, for Secretary of Internal Affairs.

W. H. Dunbar, III, county man ager for Judge Arthur H. spiked early reports of a contest for the county chairmanship. He stressed harmony, not only for the county, but for all State candidates including Judge James for Governor; United States Senator James J.

"SUCKER" RACKET TARGET OF STATE (Continued From Page 1) "con men" that would extend into more than thirty counties. Although Bard held the vendors of whisky certificates would come under the commissions jurisdiction, he also stated that such sales could not be prosecuted under the securities law. At a press conference in which he explained his request to the. Governor, Baker said: "More than a million dollars has been taken away from the people of Pennsylvania in the last year by these vendors of whisky certificates. Sharpsters have made a racket out of whisky certificates a vicious racket.

"They go around to aged per sons, who have put a little away in sound securities to provide little income for the rest of their lives, and persuade them to trad their securities fpr these whisky certificates. "They sell the certificate at more than the whisky is worth and ne gleet to tell the purchasers that they can under no circumstances withdraw the whisky from the warehouse. "The purchaser, who trades good sound securities, thinks he is going to clean up. In. he loses his shirt.

Baker said the Attorney Gen eral's ruling would also apply to vendors of non existent cemetery lots. He pointed out that the racket' eer vendors obtain "sucker of small investors who hold good securities that perhaps paid di minished dividends during recent years, and then persuade them to turn over the securities for whisky certificates or deeds to cemetery lots, promising "quick returns." "Investigation by agents of the securities commission and the liquor control board have re vealed a half dozen definite canes of 'con men' with headquarters in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia," Ba ker said. He added that most of the com plaints on. file were from Lehigh, Berks, Lancaster, York, Washington, Greene, Fayette and Erie counties.
