GOPs in Congress
Investigation of
WASHINGTON. June
statements that nrivate loan of
Roosevelt was settled for $4000 came today from republicans
in both chambers of congress. . - f'
Rep. Knutson of Minnesota, ranking republican on the
house, ways and rneans cosnmittee, told reporters the internal
revenue bureau should look into
the tax reduction on a loss re
ported by John Hartford, presi
dent of the Atlantic and Pacific
Tea company, who has confirmed
that he was the lender.
Westbrook Pegler, columnist,
yesterday published an account ol
tiie $200,000 lean and subsequent
ly Hartford declared that the Peg
ler account "is not the whole story
but it is substantially v correct
Caruthers Ewing, general counsel
for the A. and P said the. loan
was settled for $4000.
Roosevelt could not be reached
for comment, nor could Jesse
Jones, former secretary of com
merce, who Ewing said negotiated
the settlement
Ewing said in Danville, 111., that
the late President Roosevelt's son
borrowed the $200,000 in 1939 to
finance his Texas radio interests.
In 1942, Ewing related, Jones
told him that the Roosevelt fam
ily wished to compromise the debt
In exchange for Elliott Roosevelt's
note and stock he had given as
collateral, Ewing said Jones "gave
me a check payable to John Hart
ford for $4000 which was all Hart
ford ever received on the loan
and the whole thing was closed."
Ewing said Hartford wrote Off
the loan as a "bad debt" in his
1942 income tax report
Hartford expressed regret that
the story had been published and
said " I would not have made it
public myself."
Pegler reported that Elliott
Roosevelt telephoned his father at
Warm Springs, Ga., after Hartford
hesitated to make the loan on the.
basis that it might embarrass the
president
"The president spoke cordially
to Mr. Hartford," Pegler wrote,
"and thanked him for this favor
to his son. He . also invited Mr.
Hartford to call on him."

Can't Regulate
Power Rates
1 The state hydroelectric commis
sion cannot regulate rates of the
California-Oregon Power company
even though it should grant the
application of the company for
permission to appropriate waters
of the North Umpqua river to gen
erate power, Attorney General
George Neuner ruled Wednesday.
Neuner pointed out that since
power would be pooled with pow
er produced by other generating
plants, it would be impossible for
the hydroelectric commission to
regulate rate on power from the
proposed North Umpqua project
The-public utilities commissioner
Would . continue to regulate, he
said. "
However, the hydroelectric com
mission can provide for amortiz
ation-and depreciation of the proj
ect by requiring that all surpluses
be used to reduce the investment
Issuance of stocks and bonds lor
the project would have to be con
trolled jointly by the public util
ities commissioner and the hydro
electric commission, Neuner said.
Nazis, Japan
Removed From
World Trade
WASHINGTON, June 13-CP)-
Secretary.of the Treasury Mor-
genthau sees Germany and Japan
as eliminated from the future
world trade and viewed that as
little loss to the American econ
omy.
Neither ! nation ever amounted
to much as a trader, Morgenthau
told the senate banking commit
tee, and what business they con
ducted can quickly be absorbed
by others.
He voiced this opinion under
questioning by Senator Taft (R-
jOhio) as the ,committee opening
two weeks of hearings into the
Bretton Woods world financing
plan.
The bill passed by the house sets
up U. S. participation in a multi
billion dollar world bank and a
fund to stabilize currency. Senate
leaders forecast passage despite
some opposition led by Taft.
