BARS INVASION
Washington, April 6—UI'—Tontfiht onthe 18th anniversary of America's sntrancs Into the World War, the House virtually completed wrltlni? a sweeping bll! desljrned to mohlli/.e every resource of the nation In event of war and to make that war pro t- less.
Final action on the re-writen McSwaln war profits hill was post- puned until Monday after a iioton.i fiffhl over various provisions to eliminate profits.
Written Into the bill wa.'? a clause taxing excess war profits 100 per- ceni. This drastic limitation waa expected to Insure pa.s.sage Monday. It answers critics who have con¬ tinued the McSwain hill would mere¬ ly limit,  not eliminiite  war  profits.
The aes.^lon whs one of the weird- «»t in recent Hou.se history.
The bill was ready to pass. Ita sponsors were content with a scrie." of unu.'iual amendments that ha<l bfon attached, but alisence from chamber of many members, who wanted to vote on pa.ssace, decided the leadership to put oft tho vole ti:itil Monday.
.\s.<!urance of prc.^.sinp the bill came when Chairman John .1. Mc¬ Swain ot the Military Affairs Com¬ mittee caught the House off guard snd slipped in the section calling for » tax on exccsa war proflt.s,
A single objection could have pre¬ vented consideration of the tax sec¬ tion. But none w.ts ready to object. Th« Senate Nye bill carries such a tsx provt.'ilon, but fiscal lesislatlon miiRt originate In the House.
"This new section will permit tho ienate to write In the Nye exccsa profits tax propiwal," said McSwaln *llh a grin after the House •<lJoiirned. "I'retly clever, eh?' Draft Knemirs Lose
Relllgerent opponents of the Hou.se till, who have condemned partlcu- Isrly the conscription provision of tte measure, sought to prevent MJournment.   They were defeated.
Bands played outside—50,000 per- •6ns marched by the Capitol—as ths prolonged battle over the bill f«ached Its climax. The huge pro- M8»lon In celebration of the historic *«y of 1917 disconcerted congrcs- •lonal debate,
A» a result the bill was a strange piece of legislation—loaded with <u«er amendments restricting Its Wrposes.

Detroit, April «.—UP~Tlie United Slates government today lost Us first case In prosecution of 34 Imnk- ers Indicted by a Federal Grand Jury after the Michigan banking de¬ bacle In 1933, but made Immediate pains to try three more defendant.s, John Rallantyne, Herbert U, Chit¬ tenden and John H. Hart, former banking officers of the now defunct First National Bank of Detroit, were acquitted of "window dressing" charges by a Jury ot eight women and four men, who deliberated four hours and sixteen minutes.
fluy K, Hard, Special Assltant At¬ torney General, In charge of the government's i)ro.Heculion, said he probably would announce the trial date of John S, Bodde, Donald A. Sweeny and Eilwln J. Kckert, on Monday. Each was Indicted on two counts of ml.sappllcatlon of bank funds as officers ot I'eople's Wayne t^ounty Bank. Sweeny wa-s former I>reaident of First National and LSodde   was  former  vice-chairman.
The alleged misapplication occur¬ red In the sums of $54,315 and $11,893.45 on October 21, 1931. Observers Cheer Verdict A dozen of the 150 spectators In Judge Krnest A. O'Brien's courtroom cheered the verdict. None ot the de¬ fendants showed emotion.
.John Hart Jr., son of a defendant, lashed lo the front of the room and threw his nrrrts ahout his father. Later, Hallantyne said: "I have nothing to say except that this Is a flnger-polntlng age." Chittenden, Hart and Ballanlyna went on trial March 26, True bills relumed against them charged they made or caused to be made a false Rtateniont In representing the hank's condition as of June 30, 1931; and that they suhmitted a false report to the Comptroller of Cur¬ rency In connection with that statement.
The case revolved around listing of $212,000 of stock In Detroit Bankers Company, holding com¬ pany of the First National,
The stock was purchased through a trustee loan to Clarence D. Bles¬ sed and Herman Leitner, Junior officers ot the bank.
Charged Dummy Posa Special Assistant Attorney Gen¬ eral Guy K, Bard contended the stock was property of the bank and that the loan was a "dummy trans¬ action," As bank property, he charged, the stock should havo been listed under "bonds, stocks and other securities" in reports to the comptroller. Instead, he declared, it was listed under "loans and dis¬ counts" for tho purpose ot con¬ cealing speculation.
The defense claimed that I..eltner and Blessed personally were re¬ sponsible for the loan. The note, they declared, was a straight trans¬ action, taking a regular course through  hanking channels.
Judge Krnest A, O'Brien charged the eight women and four men Jurors to decide whether the stock belonged to the hank, pr Blessed or Ueltner, and It It belonged to the bank, tbey muat conclude It was not carried under the proper classi¬ fication.
The   Issue,   according   to   O'Brien, was    "whether    there    was    n    false entr-.v.   If so,  whether the cnlrv'  A\as made   with   the  purupose  ot  deceit i and fraud."

Bill To Employ Three And One Half Millions Of Persons Will Be Sign-^ ed As Soon As The President Is Brought To Florida Coast And Names Aides For A Gigantic Task
SEVERAL ALLOTMENTS MADE
By RICHARD L. HARKNESS (Copyright, 1935, By United Press) Washington, April 6.^The New Deal Administration tonight massed all its resources, financial and per¬ sonal, behind a major campaign agaln.st the depression—the $4,880,- 000,000 drive to put 8,500,000 per¬ sons to work. The goal, leaders hoped, can be reached within a year under the leadership of Presl dent Roosevelt, who will be supreme In command ot spending the huge fund,
"We can put 8,500,000 men to work for a year with $4,000,000,- 000," predicted Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkln.s, named in au¬ thoritative sources ns the Presi¬ dent's selection for right-hand man In  the new program.
The program was pa.ssed hy Con¬ gress late yesterday and made ready for Mr. Roosevelt's approval today when Vice President John H. Gar¬ ner signed it.
The White House tonight reveal¬ ed that the bill had been sent to the President by special courier and would be delivcre tdo him Monday morning. Stephen Karly, assistant secretary to the President, did not elaborate on the statement and it was not learned whether the cour¬ ier was traveling by airplane or iey train.
Earlier it was planned to send tho bill to the Chief Executive by jilane, but unfavorable weather conditions forced abandonment ot this move shortly after the message was sign¬ ed by congressional leaders. The weather, however, may have become sufficiently clear to permit plane trafflo.
First Aid to Poor First step In the drive will bo transferring the $880,000,000 ear¬ marked In the measure for Direct Relief lo Hopkins' Federal Emer- gopcy   Kellef   Adiiiinistration.
Hopkins, with 20,500,000 persons on Relief rolls, exhausted previous appropriations of more llian $2,- 000,000,(100   in   two  years.
Relief rolls have been prepared for tbe re-employment drive with 1''1;RA study ot all "employables" not receiving government aid, In all sections of the country,
"We made a survey In every city In the I'nited States ot the skill of the employable people," Hopkins said,
"Thia study indicates that It wont be easy to put them to work, but It certainly does not Indicate that it Is impossible to do it,
"We can put 3,500,000 persons to work for a year for $4,0(10,000,000." Spending Cabinet Allhounh President Koosevelt's choice of directors of tho program has been closely guuarded, author¬ itative sources named Hopkins as his chief aide, with PWA Admin¬ istrator Harold L. Ickes, Rcxford (luy    Tugwell,    Undersecretary    of
Agriculture,    and    Admiral    C.    3, Peoples   aa   Important   assistants.
Ickes will have charge ot $900,- 000,000 appropriated for loans and grants to political subdivisions for self-liquidating construction pro¬ jects, $450,000,000 for low-cost housing and $310,000,000 PWA money Impounded by tho President to tide over FERA,
Tugwell will co-ordinate all rural rehabilitation activities. In¬ cluding soil erosion, forestatlon, flood control. He will have at least $850,000,000   under   his   Jurisdiction,
Admiral Peoples, head ot the Pro¬ curement Division of U, S, Treaaury, probably will purchase heavy ma- terlal.s, concrete, steel and tho like, used In construction projects on rivers and harbors, for new high¬ ways and grade crossing elimination,
Hopkin.s has been three months preparing Relief rolls tor the new- program, demanding that about 4,000,000 "unemployables," person.i mentally or physically unable to work, be returned to care ot their cities and counties. The move will cut his Direct Relief costs by about $30,000,000  a  month.

The President will transfer from tho yacht to the warship for the run to port. Onco asliore, he will head. ImineUiately for Washington aboard a special train.
Jlr. Roosevelt comes back from hla southern holiday well rested and eager to tackle the dozen or more Important problems that will re¬ quire his early attention. Tired and drawn when he left Washing¬ ton on March 25, he Is burned a healthy hrown by the sun.
It was Indicated that a port north of Miami would be chosen for the President to disembark, but which one was not disclosed by White House  Secretary  Mclntyre hera.
