SOLONS QUIZ SEC. HYDE ON RELIEF BILL
Senators Row Over Provisions for Food in Compromise Measure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 — (UP) — The Senate voted tonight to ask Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M.
| Hyde to state specifically whether the proposed $2u,000,000 drought relief measure is construed by him to provide for food, clothing and medical supplies.
A reply from Hyde which is deemed unlikely to satisfy all concerned will bo sent to the Senate about noon tomorrow, the United Press was informed authoritatively tonight after conferences on the situation between Republican Senate leaders, Hyde, and President Hoover.
MIDDLE GROUND
Hyde, It was asserted, plans to take a middle ground in his reply, and may point out to the Senate that after the farmer obtains a loan under the “compromise plan" It might be left up to him to decide If he was to use lt to buy food, clothing, and medical supplies in addition to crop supplies. He ls expected to avoid definitely committing himself to the use of government money for. purchase of food.
This action was taken without a record vote on motion of Senator William E. Borah, Repn., Idaho, after Republican and Democratic opponents of the compromise measure had insisted In debate that it did not specifically provide for food relief.
THREE QUESTIONS
The resolution as adopted asked Hyde to answer three questions.
1.	Whether the compromise included food, clothing and medical supplies.
2.	Whether Hyde understands that a "fair and sympathetic” interpretation of the compormise Includes the three items mentioned.
3.	Whether any prohibition exists in the compromise which would preclude the use of money secured by loan under it for purchase of food, clothing and medicine.
Another conflict between executive and legislative branches of the government was brought about today, when Postmaster General Walter Brown refused to give the Senate post {il lease committee Information about leased properties.

ARRAIGN HEADS OF U. S. BANK ON FRAUD CHARGES
Analyze Ruling Each Director Responsible for Misconduct Toward Stockholders.
NEW YORK, Feb 11—(UP— Some In limousines and some on foot, eight officers and directors of the $200,000,000 bank of United 8tates, now closed, made their appearances at the offices of the district attorney today, surrendered for arraignment on charges of misappropriating the bank's funds, gave their life histories, and were fingerprinted like all other criminal suspects.
One of the day’s further important developments came with analyst* of a high court opinion handed down yesterday sustaining the contention that every director Is actually responsible for misconduct or breach of trust towards depositors or stockholders—a decision that makes “dummy directors" liable to answer for “rubber-stamping" the orders of their superior*.
Bulwarked by the comfortable feellpg that behind them are some of the most brilliant legal doctors in New York the bankers were jovial and apparently unworrled as their fingers were smeared on the little trays in the criminal ideu-tijlcation bureau at police headquarters.
No: did the additional knowledge that suit against them for $50,000,000, alleged to have been "squandered or misappropriated,” was filed in supreme court today, appear to greatly increase their worries.
lsldor J .Kresel, until ye3terday the vigorous prosecutor of New York's politlcal-vice situation, was the last ot the eight indicted officials to appear. He had left a sick bed to appear with Ills fellow directors In answer to the Indictment.
