Bankers Protest cism in financial quarters.

May Be Blocked in Jam In demanding further hearings Couzens made it plain that he is generally favorable to the bill and is particularly in favor of the provision which sets up a $700,000,000 Government agency to liquidate closed national banks. Nevertheless he was skeptical of the feasibility of other sections of the measure. It was apparent at the committee meeting that this bill is not to have the easy sailing enjoyed by Adminestration financial measures. BankDrS have protested that the bill, taken as whole, is deflationary in character in that it will force liquidation cf securities now carried by the banks. of the bill designed to curb the use of bank loans for stock speculation have also met with criti- Fear was expressed that the delay In getting the bill before the Senate would block its passage at the present session.

If the bill is not passed before the tax bill arrives from the House, it is likely to become involved in a legislative log jam at the close of the session and go over until next Winter. Efforts had been made previously lift the provision aiding depositers in closed banks from the present bill and rush it through as an emergency measure. Senator Glass' opposition was sufficiently. powerful to defeat this proposal. Seward W.

BROOKLYN'S SPRING LAMB CROP John O'Brien, veteran of 30 years as keeper at Prospect Park Zoo, exhibits one of Brooklyn's crop of Spring lambs. Sales Tax Bill's Doom Heralded Continued From Page 1 deep has this opposition bitten into organization of both parties in the House, that all hope of saving even a remnant of the sales tax feature is considered this afternoon to have disappeared. LaGuardia Replies Representative LaGuardia today 'defended changes proposed in the inheritance tax provisions of the pending revenue bill against the criticism that the rates would confiscate going businesses. The point made in an editorial in this morning's Daily News that the high rates proposed would give bankers control of the Hearst papers or the New York Times, if the publisher of either were to die, and that if bankers failed to take the newspapers the Government would have to confiscate them to collect the estate tax.

In reply LaGuardia said: "It is apparent that the News had not read the bill. Sufficient time is allowed for payment and all necessary latitude is given estates to make adjustments without impairing or hampering going concerns. No Difference of Opinion "The criticism is quite in keepwith others made without reading the administrative features of the bill. "No difference of opinion exists on the administrative features and nothing is intended or will be done to make such a proposition as pointed out by the Daily News possible." Under the present law. executors have three years in which to pay the Federal taxes.

No change in this provision is made in the proposed bill or amendments. House Debate Opens Washington, March 22 (P)-The House debate on the revenue bill was opened today by Representative Democrat, of Arkansas, who assailed Representative Rainey, the Democratic leader, for his remarks Saturday charging the opponents to the sales tax were "approaching Parks said the opponents were following the Democratic platform in resisting percent sales levy. "I am not particularly interested the proposition of soaking the rich, but I am interested in seeing that poor are not soaked." Parks said. vocates of the sales tax had Rankin interupted to say that adjourned the House Saturday on the claim that members were in no frame of mind to legislate. Insurgent Replies "As a matter of fact," Rankin said, "the proponents were the ones who got excited and adjourned the House." Representative Bianton, Democrat, of Texas, said: "They call us, are opposing the sales tax, while we are following the Democratic platform.

As a matter of fact. those proposing it are insurgents." The galleries were crowded with spectators as debate proceeded. Representative Howard, Democrat, of Nebraska, "conduct of those behind the sales tax is creating more of a spirit of communism in an hour than a thousand soapbox orators in a month." "I have heard that William Randolph Hearst is responsible for the sales tax," he continued. "I hold no brief for him. "I accepted his invitation to go to Canada and see how the sales tax works.

Says, 'God Forbid' "I saw at first hand the working of the sales tax, and God forbid that those workings ever brought to my country. "Its chief object is to build up a system of taxes which the burden can be unicaded from the shoulders of the uncommon herd to the shoulders of the common herd." Addressing the Democrats, Howard asked: "Do you really want to see a Democratic President? You don't believe you can send a candidate out to plead the cause of the sales tax with the common people with any sort of success, do you? Of course you don't." Representative Schafer, Republican, of Wisconsin, asked if "John J. Raskob, who owns a mortgage on the Democratic party, doesn't favor the sales tax?" Howard's reply was lost in the laughter, but Representative Connery, Democrat, of Massachusetts. interposed that it would also be a good thing for the Democratic party to stop salary cut efforts. "The Economy Committee had better take a vacation," Connery said.

"Harmful" to Nation Acting Chairman Crisp of the Ways and Means Committee told newspaper men as the House session opened that he felt "the way the House is going now on the revenue bill is very harmful to the country matter brought to a determination." that it the sales tax were rejected the one cent tax per gallon in imported oil also would be stricken from the bill. He added that if the manufactures tax were eliminated the Ways and Means Committee would reconvene and seek other sources to produce the $600,000 to balance the budget. Rankin said the proposal of the Ways and Means Committee "to exempt certain articles from the sales tax for the avowed purpose of picking up a few votes of men representing districts where those articles are produced is paramount to legislative bribery and is to be resented by the very members such amendments are designed to affect." Lower School Flag For Dead Teacher The flag atop Public School 40, 15th near 4th was halfmasted today in respect to the memory of Miss Helen Harris, a member of the teaching staff. who died Saturday at the home of her brother, David Harris, 950 E. 34th St.

Pushcart Men Buy Unclaimed Odd Lots Sold by Post Office They held an auction sale today in the rotunda of the main postoffice, 8th Ave. and 33d Manhattan. There were 200 or 300, chiefly pushcart peddlers, among the buyers. A postal employe was the auctioneer. And the merchandise he sold consisted of more than 500 lots articles unclaimed because the addresses conuld not be found.

Every lot was bid for and every article was sold, no matter how low the price. There WAS an odd lot of bird cages and a broken violin bow, two priests' vestments and three high Federal Court In Manhattan Bars Bail Ring Drastic Order Ousts Bondsmen, Runners, Fixers From Building Judges of the Federai Court in Manhattan today promulgated a drastic order intended to prevent bail bond solicitation, chiseling and alleged fixing in the corridors of the old building at Broadway and Park Row. The order authorized the Federal Attorney to bring a charge of contempt of court against any bail bond agent or lawyer's runner found soliciting in the building. At the same time, Federal Attorney Medalie in Manhattan, as the result of a grand jury investigation, sent to the State Superintendent of Insurance the names of four bondsmen accused of charging illegal rates. Medalie declined to reveal their names.

He explained that the men cannot be prosecuted criminally under the Federal statutes for charging more than he legal 3 percent on Federal bonds, but that the Superintendent of Insurance has the power to rescind their licenses. Action Already Taken Here Conditions revealed in the corridors of the Manhattan Federal Court, as indicated by judges' order, are comparable to the activities of bail bond i agents and chiselers which have resulted in action from time to time by judges and Federal Attorneys in Brooklyn. The order of the eight Manhattan Federal judges provides: "No person shall solicit, invite or in any manner seek the privilege of writing any bail bond or any other business whatsoever in connection with the writing of bail bonds in or about the rooms of the said old postoffice building, devoted to the business of the court, of the U. S. Attorney, or of the U.

S. Marshal, or in or about any of the corridors adjacent to or leading to any of said rooms. "No person shall solicit in or about any of the said rooms or corridors in the said building the employment of any attorney or counselor at law. Loitering Barred "No person shall loiter in or about any of the rooms or corridors, for any purpose or upon any pretext whatsoever. "If any person shall violate any of the terms of this order, the U.

S. Attorney shall be and hereby is authorized and empowered to require the offender to appear forthwith before any of the judges of this court to answer to a charge of contempt of court."

Cadley Defends Chief Edward F.

Cadley, assistant to Commissioner Schroeder, today described as "outrageous" the charges that the Commissioner had been paying more attention to his private medical and surgical practice than to his official duties. Cadley said Dr. Schroeder arrives at his office every morning not later than 9 o'clock. A call to the Commissioner's office at 9 o'clock this morning brought the information that he is in Troy, N. today, addressing the conference of mayors on sanitation problems.

State Senator John A. Hastings, another associate of Mayor Walker, today was risking a new contempt citation and possible jail sentence for his latest defiance of the investigation, refusal to testify in private hearing. Last Seen in Texas Sherwood was last seen in October, in San Antonio, Texas, where he left a train from Mexico City. Trailed to San Antonio by Seabury men, Sherwood at the time claimed he was on a honeymoon with his bride and refused to honor a subpena calling on him to appear befor the Hofstadter Committee. The service of the sutpena formed the basis for the $50,000 contempt fine imposed on Sherwood by the courts.

Netted Only $3,810 The State authorities have been able to realize only $3,810 from the sale of Sherwood's securities that have been uncovered. The Sherwood home in Suffern. N. seized to satisfy the judgment, has not yet been sold. Beaming with satisfaction and receiving pats on the back from Senator John J.

Dunnigan and Assemblyman Irwin Steingut, Tammany legislative chiefs, Senator Hastings explained his stand before Seabury late yesterday as being "anxious and willing" to answer interrogations at public inquiry. But, he said, he refused to testify at a secret hearing. Seabury branded Hastings' defiance as "deliberate and contumacious" and said he would ask the committee to cite the Brooklyn Senator for contempt when committee reconvenes next Monday. Meanwhile. as a precaution, he slapped a subpena on Hastings for March 30.

Scenes reminiscent of war days were enacted at Northport, hardest hit of all. National Guardsmen patrolled the ruins and no one was allowed to enter without a permit. Huge strips of corrugated roofing were driven through the air and wrapped around trees and telephone poles like pieces of paper.

Many residents of Northport saw the twister coming and making a noise "like racing automobiles." It was black and moved slowly, they said, and at times seemed to stand still, then move on. Two men among the injured at Clanton were carried to Thorsby, five miles away, and just as they arrived there the twister doubled back, cutting a wide path through the town.

At Buffalo, Jamestown and Syracuse a automobile traffic WAS brought almost to a standstill last night, Roosevelt Signs Increase in Bus, Truck Taxes Balances Budget With New $6,700,000 Levy on Heavy Vehicles Eagle Bureau, Capitol Building. Albany, March 22 Governor Roosevelt today completed the balancing of the State's budget for the next fiscal year, when he signed the bill increasing the taxes on buses and heavy trucks 65, percent, effective from July 1, 1932, to March 1, 1933. This levy is calculated to raise $6,700,000.

Disagreement over that bill threatened final adjournment of the Legislature, Tammany Senators standing firm against the proposal to boost the bus and truck levy 75 percent. Even with the $17,000,000 additional revenue from new and increased taxes, including the one approved today, the State's estimated surplus at the end of the next fiscal year will be only $1,500,000, the lowest in a generation. The original bus and truck tax bill was calculated to raise 000. but there were so many protests against the rates suggested for heavier trucks that the measure was rewritten. It did not come out of committee again until the session was almost over and then provided the 75 percent increase, which the Democrats forced down to 65.

All buses and trucks now licensed will not be affected by the increase unless it is continued after March 1 next. Their present licenses automatically are extended to March 1, 1933. Buses and trucks licensed between July 1 and March 1 must pay the higher rates. Trucks are not affected if they weigh less than one and a half tons. Under the terms of another bill signed by the Governor today all gasoline stations must be licensed and pay a $2 fee.

When the measure was being discussed in the Legislature its sponsors said that it was intended mainly to help the Tax Department fight the bootlegging of gasoline. Hall Is Cleared Of Contempt in Cedarholm Hunt Although Edward Lawrence Hall, central figure in the four-year mystery of the disappearance of Eugenia Cedarholm from Brooklyn, cleared himself of contempt by answering questions in Surrogates Court yesterday which he had previously declined to answer, the answers were not expected to aid in the finding of the missing woman. Hall testified that Miss Cedarholm, when he last knew of her whereabouts. was at the Perkins Hotel in Jacksonville, Fla. The Eagle's Jacksonville correspondent wired today, however, that there was no Perkins Hotel there.

Geoghan Orders Transcript District Attorney Geoghan, indicating that he had no confidence in the value of Hall's testimony, nevertheless today ordered a transcript of it to be sent to him. Miss a Cedarholm disappeared four years ago. Hall is believed to have been the last person to see her. In 1930 he was cited in contempt for refusing to divulge her whereabouts and for refusing to give his true name. Yesterday he was brought down from Sing sing, where he is serving a 20-year term for forgery, and said that in November, 1930, Eugenia was at the Perkins Hotel at Pueblo Beach, Jacksonville, Fla.

He gave his right name as T. C. Main. Mr. Geoghan hopes through Hall's introduction of the name C.

Main" to find a clue as to Miss Cedarholm's present whereabouts. Says Film Hurts Reputation As Actor; Asks Name Omitted Maurice Schwartz, prominent Yiddish actor, today asked Justice Riegelmann in Brooklyn Supreme Court to enjoin Gloria Films, from using his name in connection with a motion picture entitled "Yiskor." The film is not in keeping with his reputation AS an actor and would seriously endanger his standing in Yiddish theatrical circles, he contended. Schwartz said he was signed up to make a "talkie" and that the Old Kensington Stockholders Sue Bank of U.S. Charge Original Merger Agreement Was Fraud -Want $275,980 Back a A suit by the stockholders of the old Kensington Bank, which was looted by employes and outsiders, and later absorbed by the Municipal Bank, has been instituted -in Supreme Court against the Bank of United States, Banking Superintendent Broderick and 14 former Kensington directors. The Kensington stockholders demand $275,980.20 from the Bank of United States, which bought the Municipal Bank from former Kensington directors.

The theory of their action is that the acquisition of the Kensington Bank by the Municipal Bank, which the papers allege was conducted by Simon H. Kugel, head of the Municipal, and John R. McDonald. a Kensington director, was fraudulently effected. Charges Agreement Was Fraud The complainant alleges that the formal agreement which was the vehicle of the Kensington-Municipal merger was in itself a fraud, having been practically executed and completed without the consent of the Kensington stockholders, on Oct.

17, 1927, the 14 Kensington directors assuming to transfer the corporation and all its assets. An attempt was made to get belated consent of stockholders, the complaint alleges, at a meeting held in the Beverly Presbyterian Church, Nov. 22, 1927, when H. Kugel addressed the stockholders and told them that it would be perfectly proper for them to ratify the agreement even without hearing it read. The agreement was too long for reading and only lawyers would be able to understand it, Kugel is alleged to have told the Kensington stockholders.

He also promised them that under it every Keinsington stockholder would get $196 per share, not later than April 1, 1928. Directors Paid up $155,000 Part of the agreement was that Kensington directors would subscribe $250,000 to make up for defalcations and loot taken from the bank by "merry-go-round" check system. It is alleged in the complaint that these directors paid in $155,000 on their pledges, but that even this money really belonged to the bank, as the directors were negligent in conducting the affairs of the bank, thus making the swindling operations possible. In addition, the Municipal Bank retrieved $00,980.20 due the Kensington Bank. These items, plus the $30,000, placed as the net value of Kensington assets and good will, make up the sum sued ior.

Asks Court to Void Agreement The complaint asks that the Kensington-Municipal agreement be declared void and alleges it was made in violation of section 20 of the stock corporations law. The case came today before Justice Riegelmann on motion by Gerson C. Young that the attorney for the Kensington stockholders, Sidney Szerlip, be compelled to furnish a detailed bill of particulars concerning the fraud alleged in connection with the transfer of Kensington Bank to the Municipal Bank. Szerlip had already given partial bill, pursuant. to notice.

The added details are needed for the answer and the defense, the court was told. Justice Riegelmann reserved decision.
