The adininistratiou's controlled inflation program today faced delay at the hands of conservative Republicans who denounced it as destructive and dangerous. Senate Democratic, leaders charged that a filibuster was being organized against the measure permitting a possible expansion of money and credit. Senator Reed, leading the opposition bloc, denied he intended to filibuster. But he said the.

Pinchot. desired in providing separate legislation for beer taxation and regulation. The verbal "spanking" Pinchot administered the legislature in vetoing the Sowers-Conner beer bdl brought sudden and surprising results that made the governor absolute ringmaster of the legislature for the time being.

UJ?) J. Ramsey MacDonald and an army of financial and economic experts steamed into American waters today to face as puzzling and confused a situation as ever met a party of diplomatic negotiators in a foreign land.

The liner Berengaria, bearing the British prime minister, his daughter, Miss Ishbel, and his experts, was due at quarantine at 11 a. m. MacDonald's plans were to ig-nor New York City and hasten on to Wsahington, leaving Jersey City by special train this afternoon for the national capital. When MacDonald left London, he foresaw a series of informal conferences with President Roosevelt -representing a nation on the gold standard with a dollar at par over world economic conditions and the British debt. He looked forward, it was reliably reported from London, to proposals that if Britain would return to the gold Stanilar-iuithj due advantages gained from it's, depifcciated currencyAmerica would make great concessions regarding the British debt, possibly cancelling it altogether.

Whole Situation Changed He arrived to find the conference schedule unchanged, but all other factors vastly altered. For America's dollar was worth about 86 cents, measured in terms of its value in relation to British currency a week ago. Britain's considered policy of maintaining the pound at a degree of depreciation, in relation to the dollar, which would maintain great trade advantages was blasted, at least for the time being, by President Roosevelt's ac lion in taking- America off the gold standard. Thus MacDonald's trading position was far weaker than he had expected, and President Roosevelt's was correspondingly stronger. Premier MacDonald will find wide disagreement among experts, both in this country, at home in England, and in France, as to whether the abandonment of gold by America makes an early meeting of the world economic conference, or makes such a conference hopelessly useless for the time being.

World Opinion Divided He will find, if he has not discovered it already by wireless, that observers in England and in France are divided, some contending that a race to depreciate currencies is; inevitable among nations unless international stabilization is agreed upon at once; others believing that with American prices booming as a result of its first inflationary experience, the game of Europe should be to wait until the first fevered rise is over and the reaction to inflation begins to set in. He will discover that strong be ions were included to permit any person of reputable character" to sell beer. Sen. John J. McClure, Delaware, the organization's most stalwart floor leader, introduced the bill.

General Edward Martin, Republican state chairman, said he approved of what McClure had done. Special Session Held The senate met in a special session last night to receive the bfll which McClure started to draft after Pinchot had accused the lawmakers of aiding a "beer lobby conspiracy" to deprive the state of 10,000 daily revenue- which might have been gained from a tax on beer. The legislative wheels also were Wrioving to provide the tax under the the governor favored. In the house, now adjourned until Mon- day night, the ways and means committee acted quickly after the veto to resurrect from Its files the bill, presented by Itep. James McClure, Allegheny, providing a state proposed tax was cut in half to stamp tax on the 3.2 beverage.

The make it a levy of $1-24 a barrel and the bill was placed on the house calendar. McClure had presented the bill weeks ago with Pinchot's endorsement. Passage Is Front Senator McClure came a 'statement urging the legislature to pass both the control measure and the taxation bill which he. claimed would provide IVt million dollars 'n revenue biennially. "I have drawn a bill to meet the governor's viewpoint.

The bill which I have presented provide for the granting of licenses to manufacturers by the state treasurer and to wholesale and retail distributors by county treasurers. It is mandatory on their part to grant the licenses and provides for revo CLEANUP GETS UNDER WAY AS SUN COMES OUT Board of Health Asks for Cooperation in Annual Campaign Rain hjis held up the progress in the Cleanup Campaign here but beginning today it started with new enthusiasm and much activity, according to Frank Milligan, health officer, who is directing the campaign under the auspices of the board of health. force of men lurnisJieiL Jby Borough Engineer II. M. Day from the unemployed relief force, is assisting in the East End section and the trucks of the borough arid' the garbage 'collector are being used to take away a year's accumulation of rubbish.

The work is expected to cover several days in that section of town before the campaign moves west into the Second and Third wards. Vacant lots where refuse has been dumped by thoughtless persons, are. being cleaned up as well as embankments, ravines and other dumping places. It is emphasized that this is not a campaign where rubbish is being hauled away for nothing. Every landlord or tenant who is able to pay is expected to do so.

No rubbish must be piled on the street or along the sidewalks. The trucks will take away material from private properties but the owners are to pay for it. If the heads of the families are out of work and cannot pay, an allowance will be made, but the health authorities will be the judges. After the campaign is over a general inspection will follow and property that is not cleaned up will be ordered cleaned' or result in prosecution under a borough ordinance. A general request is made by the board of health for all persons to cooperate and to do so at their own expense.

This is the first time since their flight to the Orient two years ago that they have flown GANGLAND AIDS HUNT Father Absent Making Search of Underworld At Time CHICAGO, April 21 CE Jerome 19, studious young son of John (Jake the Barber) Factor, one-time bootblack who boasted he gambled with the Prince of Wales, was released early today by, kidnapers who held him 8 days for $50,000 ransom. The youth whose father had called in remnants on the powerful Capone gang to aid in obtaining his freedom said he had not been harmed in his captivity.

The abductors freed young Factor at the very moment when his father was hunting the underworld in search of the youth. Appears Unexpectedly Young Factor appeared at the home of his mother, Mrs. Leonard Marcus, Factor's first wife. It was on the steps of this house that he was seized a week ago Wednesday night by the abduction ring. 'The kidnapers kept me blind folded," said young Factor.

"It was hard to tell where they took me. I didn't recognize the spot where they released me. I was in a daze. I walked down the street until I saw a cab. I got and came here." Mrs.

Marcus screamed and be came hysterical when she saw her son He was unshaven but appear ed in good health. When he arrived at the house both his mother and. father were absent. Mrs. Marcus was at the Morrison hotel where Factor had set up headquarters to direct the hunt for his son.

Factor, himself, had left the hotel some hours before after announcing he was going to tour the haunts of known kidnapers for some clue to his son's whereabouts. The release of the boy, a pre-legal student at Northwestern University, came after a night of intense activity. Gangsters Aid Father Erstwhile Capone leadersMurray Humphries. Sam (Golfbag) Hunt, and others had intensified their activities on the boy's behalf. More than 125 Chicago gangsters, the United Press learned, banded to aid Factor.

Police and federal agencies were active. Shortly before Young Factor made his appearance police for the second time arrested Hunt With him they took into custody Mike Spranza, also a Capone lieutenant. They also engaged in an intermittent gun battle with a speeding automobile. The car appeared in several localities and was believed to contain several of the gangsters hunting the Factor youth. CHEMISTRY CLASSES VISIT WEIRTOX STEEL MIIX Two chemistry classes, numbering 24 in all, of the local higb school motored to Weirton, W.

gold Precedence Orr Other Iwnes This attempt to re fix a gold value for each of the principal commercial currencies haa suddenly thrust forward as a major subject of the conferences. It pushes war debts and reduction of tariffs into the back row. The rich throated Scotsman was dun here in ttmo for, Informal dinner at tlie-Whlto House. After a conference with tho press, he wan expected to spend an evening with President Roosevelt in front of the Are discussing how the two leading commercial' powers might cooper- they understood it -and "the duty of -the minority bill be to inform the people." Democratic leaders were confident of the bill's passage, but frankly feared several day's delay. From informed senators it was learned the administration was hopeful the first part of the inflationary program could perhaps be started today, without waiting for enactment of the bill.

This first step is. purchase of government bonds by the federal reserve banks to pump vast numbers of dollars into the country's financial system. Bond Purchase First Move The administration bill authorizes these purchases up to a maximum of 3 billion dollars and permitting possible later issuance of 3 billion dollars in United States notes and revaluation of the gold dollar. The. bill was introduced yesterday by Senator Thomas, as an amendment to the administration farm relief bill.

Republicans insisted on the bill being referred to the banking committee. It was there that they expected to make their first stand against it today. Chairman Fletcher, however, promised a favorable report by noon or shortly after. The opponents then will take their fight to the senate floor. Reed charged that the proposed inflation would be destructive of confidence in American credit and would harm many persons, lip made known his opposition shortly after conferring with Ogden Mills, Hoover administration secretary of treasury.

Mills had slipped into town almost unnoticed in the excited round of conferences over the inflation scheme. Poor People to Soffctr "The poor people with savings' accounts and insurance policies are the ones who will suffer under this proposal which will decrease the value of the dollar," Reed said. "If we can delay it long enough to let the country see that, we may stop it yet." Reed claimed tho support of about 20 Republicans and handful of Democrats. Senator Glass, long the senate financial oracle, is privately objecting to the measure. Senator Wheeler, Mont, is on the brink of rebellion.

He said he might offer his 16-to-l free silver coinage bill as an' amendment to the administration plan, which he characterized as radical. The administration's goal is a substantial rise in the price level and an accompanying sustained revival in business. It Is now to see how lasting will be the boom in the stock and commodity mayrkets whidU began when the gold standard was abandoned. Warns False Hopes In this connection, Dr. Harold G.

Moulton, famous economist president of the Brookings Institute, warned against false hopes and pointed out that Britain's abandonment of the gold standard in 1931 failed to cause any sub stantial price Increase. Tho federal reserve operations will be the next weapon used by the administration in its battle to bring back prosperity. Hope was expressed in some quarters that these would, prove so effective that it might not be necessary to util ize the provision for issuance of United States notes. White House sources emphasized that the permitted note issue would not be greenbacks, explaining that there would be something behind tho proposed currency. That "something" is the clause in the Inflation bill appropriating annually a sum sufficient to permit the treasury to retire and cancel four percent of the outstanding emergency currency.

All the notes thus would be retired in 25 years at the latest.
