‘Oldsters’ of Party Charge
Work Relief Fund Used
For Politics
By MAX BOYD
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — (AP)— Re
publican regulars, confronted by
a threat of strife among younger
members of the party, welcomed‘
the chance today to concentrate at- |
tention on charges that some of |
the admfnistration’s $4,000,000,000
work relief fund has been used
for political purposes.
The IDemocratic political scene
was quiet temporarily, pending an
adcdress by Chairman Farley of the
national committee at a Roosevelt
Ginper in Miami, Fla., tomorrow
night. Whether Farley would re
new the attack on the American
Liberty League and other cvritics
was unanswered.
Senate Republicans planned to
ask that the senatorial campaign
expenditures committee be direct
ed to investigate whether relief
money has been used politically.
This was proposd as an amend
ment to the resolution of Demo
ctatic Leadfr Robinsop for the
customary election-year inquiry
into campaign outlays.
The threat of controversy among
young republicans at the party's
national convention arose after
the election of J. Kenneth Bradley
of Westport, Conn., as chairman of
the executive committee on the
Young Republican National federa=
tion.

OLD BEGING TREK

Small Shipments From U.
S. May Be Forerunner of
Sizeable Outgo
WASHINGTON o ®) — CGold
began to trickle away today from
America’'s $10,182,000,006 reservoir
of the yellow metal leading to
speculation as to whether the in
flation drive in congress would be
checked.
Secretary Morgenthau announced
vesterday that banks had asked
and received treasury licenses to
ship $5,605,000 in gold from the
United States to France and Hol
land. - "
- This development, reversing a
westward flow which had brought
$2,000,000.000 of gold from Europe
to the United States in 16 months,
was linked with eurrent demands
by congressional inflationists that
the treasury print paper money to
pay off the bonus, finance farm
subsidies, and ald distressed agri
cultural debtors.
In foreign exchange markets, it
was said that money trading ap
parently had felt the effects of the
drive to expand the currency ra
ther than levy new taxes.
‘Whether the comparatively tiny
shipmentg were the forerunner of
a sizeable outgo was a subject of
guessing. Experts said that often,
when such a movement starts, it
tendg to gain momentum.
Secretary Morganthau, who ex
plained briefly that the French
franc had risen to the point where
banks could profit by exporting
gold, said if this situation continu
ed further shipments would be per
mitted as long as present exchange
mechanismg are undisturbed.
If such licenses were refused, in
formed students of the subject said
the United States would thereby
go off the present “gold bullion”

moved on the other side to wipe

J. P. Morgan Appears Al

By PRESTON L. GROVER
WASHINGTON—(#)—The senate
munitions éommittee sought today
to show that the Allies over-rode
treasury objections and paid. off
American private bankers with
part of the first money they bor
rowed direct from this govern
ment during the World War. ‘
J. P. Morgan, head of the huge
banking house, closely followed
these efforts. He had surprised
the committee by appearing forl
the reopening of the committee's

It was brought out that allied|
nations owed American bankers
and investors $2,262,000,000, most
of which was loans negotiated
largely by J. P. Morgan and
Company, at the time this country
entered the World War.
“Wiasn't it the understanding,”
asked Senator Vandenberg (R.-

loans to the allies should not be
used to fund existing obligations

“Yes,” said white-haired Russell
