food going to waste the court asks
that the Red Cross offices, phone

sent out at once to garner It and
haul it in.
Potatoes, cabbage, carrots, tur

foods arc suggested as much de

of this nature that is not going to
be used or cannot be sold will be
handled by the court through the

WORLD PARLEY
MONO TOPIC
Washington, Nov. 21 (LP) Plans
for American participation In the
world economic conference prob
ably will be discussed tomorrow by
President Hoover and President
elect Roosevelt at the White House,
it was stated today in a high offi
cial quarter.
This revelation was considered
significant in view of Europe's de
sire to consider the war debts in
connection with other economic
Issues at the world conference.
The administration source which
suggested the probability of the eco.
nomic conference arising at the
White House discussions, did not
however, connect it with the debt
issue.
In accepting the league of nations
invitation to the conference the
state department specified that war
debts and tariff rates should not be
discussed there. This represents the
view of the Hoover administration,
but it is not known whether the
democrats, into whose administra
tion the conference would extend,
share a similar view.
Secretary of State Stimson, it was
learned today has been working for
several days preparing data on war
debts and other questions for the
White House conference tomorrow.
He does not, however, expect to at
tend it.

Human Life

Detroit, Nov. 21 UP) A self-styled
"king" of a negro religious cult to
day admitted he offered up a hu

sacrificial altar at his home. His

Robert Harris, 44, said It was pre

human to his gods. James J. Smith,
40, also a negro, was the victim.
"The sacrifice was to be a person
not a believer of the religion," Harris
told detectives. "It was to be the

FOR CONFERENCE
"Washington, Nov. 21 Pi Having
assured a cut of more than half
a billion dollars in the federal bud
get for next year, President Hoover
today concentrated his energies
upon his momentous war debts con
ference tomorrow with Franklin
D. Roosevelt, his successor-elect.
President Hoover today shutea
plans for the meeting tomorrow,
changing the scene from the execu
tive offices to the Lincoln study of
the White House proper.
After a half hour conference with
the president at which he said war
debts were discussed, Secretary
Mills said the president had "defin
ite Ideas" as to what America's
answer to the debt problem should
be, but that he felt "the interesting
thing is what Mr. Roosevelt is go
ing to do, and what his ideas will
be."
The treasury secretary declined
to say definitely whether Mr. Hoov
er would recommend again a revival
of the war debt commission. He
did say, however, that such an or
ganization would "be very helpful
right now."
On Wednesday morning, a day
after the Roosevelt conference, Mr.
Hoover will go over the same
ground with thirteen leaders of
congress republican and democra
tic senators and representatives.
Upon their attitude and that of
their followers, depends in the last
analysis, the attitude of this gov
ernment in connection with pay
ments due December 15, because
any policy on the question enun
ciated by the president must win
tneir approval.

of foreign obligations.
The request for debt revision was

Before the state supreme court,
six attorneys were to present oral
arguments for a new trial for the

Defense arguments were based on
six asserted errors, chief of which
was the allegation that Superior
Judge Howard Speakman erred
when he refused to instruct the trial
Jury in a self-defense verdict. An
other contention impeached the ac
tion of Judge Speakman for not
disqualifying a Juror who allegedly
made a derogatory statement against
the defendant before the trial start
ed. Defense arguments may last
through tomorrow after which the
state will submit rebuttal and the
court take the appeal under advise

Discussion and consideration of the problem of automo

complicated questions with which the 1933 legislature will
have to deal, continues apace with the preponderance of un
official opinion so far expressed seemingly favoring a 50 per

tary and manager, and also has

Figures compiled by the motor as

would reduce the estimated net re
