Senators Want Morgan Out
line From Pecora; More
Secrets out Today
.WASHINGTON. May 10 (AP)
Amid debate over disclosures ft
already had nude, the senate
banklig committee arranged to
day to receive from Ferdinand Pe
eora am outline of the course he
expects to pursue la the resump
tion tomorrow of the inquiry Into
J. P. Korean and company.
The debate la the senate today
circled about a possible successor
tor Secretary Woodin, who has
1 been disclosed as having been on
a list of those sold stock by the
llorgaa company" at reduced
prices Several years before he
took the post as head of the treas
ury. :-
Senator Long; (D-La) told the
senate selection of Levls Douglas,
director of the badge;., to succeed
Woodin would be like "going out
of the frying pan Into the fire."
Woodin Successors Talked
- JUi remark stirred a discussion
of possible successors to Woodin
in which the names of James M.
Cox, former presidential candi
. date, was mentioned, but in which
there was no denial of the belief
Woodin would resign.
Woodin was named on the two
lists of special clients of the Mor
gan firm which hare been put be
fore the Investigating committee.
Pecera. the committee counsel,
was expected to start the inquiry
off tomorrow with another such
list of clients to whom stock was
sold at bargain prices.
Before resuming his job of un
covering the innermost activities
of the house of Morgan, however,
the aggressive counsel must give
a review of his evidence to the in
vestigating committee.
Undisturbed by. the committee's
decision, Pecora arrived in the
capital late today.
He will be without one of his
.. strongest .supporters on the com
mittee during most of the remain
der of the Inquiry, as Senator
Coniens -(R-Mlch) Is going to
London as a delegate to the world
economic conference.
-Lons; Scores Douglas
-Long opened the senate debate
by reading a report that Douglas
would succeed Woodin. He con
tended the budget director's fam
ily was -Inextricably Interwoven
with the Phelps-Dodge corpora
tion, wblch he contended was a
Morgan affiliate.
Senator Ashurst (D-Arlz) quick
ly came to the defense of Doug
las, asserting he was courageous,
honest and unsusceptible to In
fluence. 'It would be astonishing news
to me If Mr. Douglas had any con
nection with a Morgan company,
Ashurst said. "But even if he
were financially Interested, Mr.
Morgan would be Impotent and
powerless to influence that young
man.
During Ashurst's speech, Sen
ator Xorrls (R-Neb) interrupted
to point to published reports that
Cox had declined an offer of Mor
gan stock. This has been denied
by Pecora.
8ale of the Royal Court apart
ments by Adam Engel to William
S. Walton was announced this
week. Mr. Engel will give posses
sion tomorrow, when Mr. Walton
Will take charge and designate
a resident manager who has not
yet been chosen.
. The Royal Court is the largest
apartment house in the city and
one of the last to be built, it was
completed In 1527. There are 49
apartments. It has been popular
with statehouae people. A. W.
Norblad resided there while gov
ernor, and Governor Meier bad
large apartments there which he
surrendered recently for smaller
quarters there.
The Royal Court is located at
the corner of Chemeketa and
Capitol streets.
Mr. Engel plans to remain In
Salem and engage in other busi
ness.

experts to carry out his program.
Ralph W. Morrison of San An
tonio, Texas, was named by the
president as the sixth man to fill
out the delegation. The president
also named the following special
ists: William C. Bullitt, executive
officer; James P. Warburg, finan
cial adviser; Fred K. Neilsen, le
gal adviser; and Herbert Feis,
chief technical adviser.
In announcing this list the pres
ident said the membership still
was incomplete.
Pleased at having obtained a
republican to serve on the delega
tion. President Roosevelt was un
derstood to be seeking another,
possibly Representative James W.
Wadsworth of New York.
Have Not Discouraged;
Trade of Tariffs Aim
Undiscouraged by a feeling
voiced elsewhere In the capital
that little more than an agree
ment for the stabilization of for
eign exchanges would be achieved
at London, Secretary Hull was
looking forward also to reciprocal
tariff adjustments that might re
move present obstacles to world
commerce.
The secretary believes a stabil
ization of exchanges without tar
iff agreements would be of little
so and has said that unless ex
change stabilization was accom
panied by tariff agreements ex
changes would quickly snap back
to their present dislocated posi
tion.
In connection with the tariff
negotiations at the London con
ference President Roosevelt ap
parently plans to send to congress
within a week a message asking
that he be given authority to
raise or lower Import duties. To
what extent he would seek this
authority remained to be dis
closed but the assumption has
been that Mr. Roosevelt would
seek the power to raise as well as
lower tariffs by a maximum of
59 per cent of their present level.
Administration Wants Full
Power ob Arms Embargo
Keeping close watch on devel
opments pertaining to the London
conference and the Geneva arms
reduction parley as well, the ad
ministration meanwhile also Is
planning an effort to remove re
strictions placed by the senate
foreign relations committee upon
the' arms embargo resolution
which Mr. Roosevelt requested.
The house approved a resolu
tion giving the president author
ity to declare an embargo on mu
nitlons to any country after ob
taining satisfactory concurrence
from other nations.
The senate committee Saturday
attached an amendment compel-
ing the president, if he declares
such an embargo, to make it ap
plicable Impartially to all nations
Involved in the dispute which
evoked the declaration.

Spangler'a ear crashed Into the
car driven by Malcomb Fox, of
Westville, N. J which had skid
ded Into the middle of the track
after losing a wheel on the south
turn.
Spangler's car could not be
stopped or turned away from the
disabled machine. He crashed
headlong Into It, then shot to the
top of the track, with both cars
plunging orer the wall, falling 30
feet below.
Jordan died an hour after the
accident.
Spangler died In a local hospi
tal tonight, several hours later.
Fox was not so seriously injured.
Freddie Frame Cracks
Wall but Escapes Death
Tragedy stalked Into the raee
soon after it started. First Fred
die Frame, the 1933 winner, aft
er leading, was forced out when
his car cracked into the wall with
Frame and his mechanic luckily
escaping Injury. Then came the
death of young Jordan and Bill
man. Meyer, the son of an old bicycle
racer, snatched the lead after 300
miles and never relinquished It,
although challenged by Wilbur
Shaw of Indianapolis, who finish
ed second, seven miles back of the
winner.
Chet Gardner of Long Beach,
Calif., flashed across the finish
line In third place with Lou
Moore of Los Angeles, fourth.
Nineteen of the original 43 start
ers finished. Meyers coasted to
victory In the last 35 miles, re
ducing his speed to save gasoline
and to avoid the danger of an ac
cident.
Meyer, begrimed after his
five hour ride, and his mechanic
Lawson Harrison of Indianapolis,
were almost crushed in the jam
as they wheeled their racer into
the infield after completing their
perilous ride. Meyer did not know
of the deaths of Blllman and Jor
dan until the race had been fin
ished. He was profoundly sympa
thetic and crushed.
Meyer intends to quit racing
for the year and go back to his
home in Huntington Park, Cal.,
with the 313.000 he won as first
prize.

It was these men who made It
possible for that flag to wave
