calling upon William E. Dodd,
American nmbassador to Germany,
to name the "billionaire" he said
waa ready lo support an "Ameri

The resolution, offered by Senn
tor Nye (It., N. D.), was referred
to the foreign relations committee
at Plttmnn's request.
Nye's resolution would request
the stnle department to nsk Dodd
to cable the naine of the Billionaire
so the senate could expedite a
"thorough Investigation" of tho
cllnrge.
Dodd, In a letter to Senator Bulk
ley, (D., Ohio), recently mndo pub
lic, said he was advised an Ameri
can billionaire, whom he did not
name, was ready to support an
American dictatorship.
The North Dakotan was support
ed in his demand for the name by
Senatro Borah (It., Idaho) and Rep
resentative Fish (R., N. Y.)
Regardtess ofthe outcome of htR
resolution, Nye said, lie would ask
a senate inquiry into "all nlien sub

emphatically would Include this dic

This investigation, he explained,
would be nn outgrowth of charges
which he made in tho senate Mon

He sought an initial $25,000 ap
