Cincinnati DISPUTE OVER CURRENCY IS NOT SETTLED (Continued From Page One) moved In the senate to yield to the house and eliminate the Glass cur rency expansion provision Congress enacted tho relief bill this afternoon, as it dragged to adjourn merit of this long and troubled slon, but senate and house differences Held Captive a Week Reynolds Case 4 - over the currency expansion featuro of the home loan bank bill seemed certain to kill that legislation In the last hours.

The view that seem ed to be accepted was that tho cor poration must report to congress and the president, but that further con gressional action is necessary before publicity need bo given. Fussed Hack to House Tho scnato had voted, 44 to 20. to lnsi-.it on tho currency expansion pro vision of the home loan bill, in the face of house opposition.

They sent representatives to con sult houso leaders to dctermlno whether sentiment in that branch had changed sufficiently to allow elimination of the publicity clause. Thero was a strong factor in tho senate, however, opposed to sending tho bill back to conference and de manding that the bill be passed and sent to the White House. Pressure Develop Overnight The pressure against the publicity clause developed overnight. Bankers tNormal School Students Entertained At Informal Dance After Staging of $ throughout the country, wired to their senators opposing the publicity clau&o on loans from the reconstruc tion corporation. j President Hoover and members of tho reconstruction corporation board opposed tho publicity feature, but President Hoovor agreed yesterday to sign tho bill with It included and let congress take tho responsibility. Two tlo To White House Legislation directing the secretary of tho treasury to mako available all Incomo tax and revenue records to tho senato banking committee was passed today by the house and sent to tho president. Tho resolution, previously passed by the senato, was offerod In the houso by Representative Ralney, the majority leader and glvon the ap proval of Representative Snell, the majority leader, Ralney explained the senate had directed its banking comtmlttee to In vestigate tho treasury and Internal rovonue bureau, but that without an amendment to tho tax laws this com mittco would bo denied access to tax records.

AMERICAN AIRMAN RESCUED AFTER ' WEEKS IN JUNGLE (Continued from Page One) So handicapped was he that he es timates he only covered four miles la nearly three weeks ot crawling. The Jungle at that point Is well-nigh Im passable and he had no tools to cut through. h Although ho said ho believed the wrcckago was only four miles distant from whero ho was found, searching parties had not located It after a full day of looking. The volunteer expedi tion pushed on, however, although membors said there was no hope of recovering Gordon's body, which probably long since had been carried away by wild beasts. One of McElroy'a ftrst acts lost , night was to offer a generous reward to Melardo Enrtques, the Indian hlll man who stumbled over hlB exhaust ed body in the Jungle late . Thursday and saved Ills life. Ho then asked that his mother be not! r fed by cable. Today he was resting well In the homo of Mayor H umber to L. Pineda. A physician said ho would recover. The Pan American Airways has of fered to stop a plane at San Geronimo Sunday afternoon to pick up McElroy and bring him to Mexico City. The olfer probably will be accepted If he can bo moved that soon. LA GRANDE RETAIL MARKETS Sugar, 100-lb. sock Vegetable RadlHlya. 3 bunches Parsley, bunch Cabbage, lb. ... Now wax onions, lb.
