(Continued Prom Pag One) i WASHINGTON, July 6 ( A two. hour conference between President Hoover and senate and house leadera on the s2, 122.000,000 Wagner-Oarner relief bill broke up today with a breach still existing between the leg islative and executive branches. . Speaker Oarner, co-author of the bill, at first told newspapermen as he left the White House that "we did not reach an agreement." Oarner said later, however, that the conferees and the president were "virtually In agreement" upon all points In the measure except the sec tion dealing with loans to Individuals. The president has remained ada mant In opposition to this provision. Oarner said the next step would be to call back the house and sen ato conferees Into a meeting on the measure, and re-dlscuss It "In the light of the conferences we held here today and last night." Representative Rainey. the house Democratic leader, was even moro em phatic In his stand. "We are going ahead with .the bill as It Is," he asserted, "and If he wants to veto It he can." ... Asked what points were In disagree ment, the white-haired ' Democrat said with a shrug of his houlders "we could not agree on anything." . i Chance for Us All It hero means sincere man, why may not every one of us be a hero?

They have been asked to bring their own food. The first response to a call by M. M. London, executive secretary of the United Producers, and Carl Brannln, executive secretary of the Seattle Unemployed Citizens League, came last night with the arrival of a small party of men from Everett. A contingent from Belling ham went home yesterday for tents and bed ding,, announcing they would return today with several hundred recruits. Others were expected today and to morrow from Seattle, Tacoma and Grays Harbor. Tbe third atrtempt to see Gov. Rolarid H. Hartley will be made lead ers sb id, when a number sufficient to make a demonstration has arrived. Police reported that a body of com munists, members of which disrupted a demonstration on the capltol steps Monday, also had sent out appeals for recruits. Anticipating further trouble with the communists, leaders of the other unemployed groups bave placed their camp under strict military guard. "If the '' communists bother us again, there wlll.be no conversation," Lon don declared. "We are not inviting trouble, but we are -ready for it." - Citizens here, alarmed over the new call for unemployed, have urged state officials to Induce the governor to hear their demands immediately. The council's action was taken In an effort to discourage further con centrations of unemployed here and In an effort to avert further possible clashes between members of the two leagues and the communists. Police late yesterday escorted out of the city a group of avowed com munists who made a second attempt to obtain an audience with the gov ernor and who held another demon stration on the capltol steps. They were informed Governor Hartley was not In the city. The unemployed have avowed they will remain In the city until the chief executive either grants them; a hear ing or definitely answers their de mands for relief. London has described the gover nor's refusal to meet with unem ployed workers and destitute fanners as simply a 20th century version of King Louis the Fourteenth. la Nutshell There la no Intrinsic merit In Berely reading books.
