Dirty Work
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. Our of
ficial have come Into possession of
secret Information Indicating the
British are trying to stir up trouble
for us In the Par East.
Fbr months Britain has been hav
ing & trade war with the Japanese In
India. Not much is heard about It
In thla country, but It baa changed
the complexion of the whole Par
Eastern situation. The Japanese have
almost entirely ceased their antl
l American propaganda and have turn-
ed their wrath on London.
Now certain British diplomats ap
parently are trying to alleviate their
situation by arousing the Japanese
against us In subtle ways.
A confidential record exist of a
few underhanded activities. Our of
ficials will probably deny It. They
co not want to start an open debate
with Downing Street on such a dan
gerous subject. However, they have
taken steps to let the British know
they know what Is going on.
The matter probably will NOT be
come serious. Such things are hap
pening backstage In diplomacy all the
time.
The result of this one may be re
placement of some British diplomats
In the Par East. At least orders will
be sent them from London, advising
them that If they feel It necessary to
stimulate antl-Amerlcan feeling, they
should take precautions not to get
caught at It.
Louis Howe has been almost un
bearable for more than a week.'
The reason Is he won 440 or more
one day on the races. It seems he
v made a $10 betting selection and of
fered to share $5 worth of It with the
president. However. Mr. Roosevelt
had been to the races before and de
clined with thanks.
Howe has been so elated at his
great success that he cannot sleep
nights. Also he keeps reminding Mr.
Roosevelt what a great bargain he
missed by not going In on the Howe
special.
Howe's antics have much to do
with maintaining the White House
equilibrium In these high-pressure
times.
When the president of the New
York stock exchange visits the presi
dent of the United States, It ought
to be a story. But It wasn't. Richard
Whitney was mum about It. So was
Mr. Roosevelt.
The story Is that Mr. Whltri-y
heard what Mr. Roosevelt had been
aylng about speculators off the
record. His Information Indicated
that the president waa thoroughly
ngry at the exchange .
His mission to the White House
waa to sell the president the Idea that
nothing should be done to Interfere
with legitimate trading. Mr. Roose
Tejt was very, very nice to him. They
called each other by their first names.
They agreed legitimate trading should
be protected. Apparently Mr. Roose
velt did NOT say definitely what he
waa going to do. Everyone knows It
will be licensing of the exchange.
His anger has been directed chiefly
to speculations on the commodity
xchangea rather than In stocks.
The row between General Johnson
nd the federal reserve board waa
much ado about nothing.
The board waa entirely correct In
asserting that production fell off in
Industries after adoption of their
codes and processing taxes.
There is a very logical and accurate
explanation for It. The industries
knew that codes and taxes were com
ing. They speeded up production to
the limit before-hand in order to
stock up at a cheap production cost.
Naturally this high speed production
fell off after the codes were signed.
It does not mean thnt the N. R. A.
hurt business in that respect. It
means only that the manufacturers
took advantage of the N. R. A. and
ths A. A. A. to sell pre -cod a goods
st post-code prices.
Johnson emitted a blood-curdling
denial but it did not entirely come
within the facts.
Johnson's almultaneo; set-to with
Henry Ford was NOT his fault, but
rather the result of clever publicity
n the part of Ford.
The general would like to bite
Henry's ear off if the administration
would permit it. But the only thing
hs said was that he would cite Ford
to Attorney -General Cumminga "when
nd If' Ford violates the code.
The Ford people misinterpreted the
abatement In a blasting reply an
nounclne Ford had NOT violated t'ie
code and during Johnson to prose
cute. It made good reading but It did not
mean anything.

blocking Cuban recoenltlon Is Sum

10 FACE
U. S. PROSECUTION
Unexpected Decision Given
In Case Which Has
Dragged Through Greek
Tribunal Since August.
ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 31. (p) The
appeal court today denied the United
States' request for the extradition of
Samuel Insull, thus thwarting for the
second time the attempt to return
him to America.
The court last November turned
down the first United States request
seeking the return of Insull, former
Chicago utilities operator, to Cook
county, Illinois, to face charges aris
ing from the collapse of his enter
prises. The decision today in the case,
which has been dragging through the
Greek tribunal since August, came
unexpectedly.
It had been assumed further argu
ment would be heard when the court
reassembled this afternoon.
Samuel Insull, monarch of a util
ities kingdom that failed, waa living
in Paris when a Cook county, Illinois
grand Jury, September 4, 1932. in
dicted him for larceny, embezzlement
and larceny by bailee.
The United States government Im
mediately took a hand in the pro
ceedings and one month later, on
October 8, the American embassy In
Paris handed the French foreign of
fice a request for his provisional ar
rest. But the action came too lRte, In
sull already had quietly left Paris.
He went to Italy, but remained there
only a short time, then went to
Greece.
The United States asked the Greek
government to extradl.te the Chicao
an, but encountered difficulties, due
to the fact that extradition treaty
was then only in process of negotia
tion between the two governments.
Greek courts refused the American
request in a verdict returned Decem
ber 28, 1932.
Martin J. Insull, now living In Or
lllia, Ont., waged a fig-ht against ex
tradition in a Canadian court simul
taneously with his brother's battle in
Greece.
Whether he wins depends on a de
cision to be made by Justice A. C
Kingstone of Toronto, who heard the
case, in the near future.

went today charges of NRA violations
on the part of the Ford Motor com
pany. After. 9- meeting of a committee of
strikers from the Ford assembly part
plant here, Hug,h V. Reilly, labor or
ganizer and strike representative,
said specific charges and a petition
for action had been drawn up. .
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. ;p) The
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce today was notified the
Ford Motor company would submit
the wage and hours report required
by the automobile code on Nox-ember
8 or 7.
The announcement waa made by
Hugh S. Johnson, after he had ob
tained from Alfred Reeves, vice-president
and general manager of the
N. A. C. C. a report on the intentions
of all manufacturers In regard to
submission of figures.
Last week the NRA executive had
said in reply to newspapermen's ques
tions that If Ford failed to submit
the data required by the code, he
would turn the case over to the attorney-general.
Today's announcement did not sin
gle out the Ford company from the
rest of the Industry, merely giving a
list of the firms which already have
submitted figures, with a second iist
containing half the firms, giving the
date on which they had informed
Reeves the requested data would ba
provided.
Today's evidence of compliance on
the part of Ford with the require
ment of the code did not settle the
manufacturers' status In regard to
government bids, elnce Johnson has
raised the question of his willingness
to deal collectively with his employ;.

Wiggin Tells Senate Probers
Personal Corporations
Suffered Net Loss Of
Over 5 Million Dollars.
By N;i than ftohertson
Associated P.-ess Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. (AP)
Albert H. Wiggin told senate Investi
gators today his personal corporations
had a net Iosb of more than $5,000,000
from participating In pools and syn
dicates with the Chase Securities Cor
poration. Earlier, the retired chairman of the
Chase National bank, with which the
corporation was affiliated, described
loans by his personal companies to
officers of the bank. ,
Made Big Loans
It also was brought out that the
personal corporation of Wiggin loaned
$724,000 to Gerard M. Dahl, head of
the Brooklyn -Manhattan Transit.
Wiggin read a prepared statement
saying his three corporations had lost
$5,139,697 since 1917 In participating
with the securities corporation and
pools and Joint accounts.
Wiggin also testified to the forma
tion of three companies In Canada,
saying he had hoped to benefit In the
payment of Income taxes through
them. He added, however, he did not
know whether this purpose had been
achieved.
Firms Interlocked
Wiggin was questioned by Ferdi
nand Pecora, counsel for the senate
banking committee, about the opera
tions of the Shermar corporation,
chief of Wiggins' domestic family cor
porations. Pecora asked If any of its
officers were also officers of ths
i Chase bank or the Chase Securities
Corporation.
iteplylng in the affirmative, Wiggin
named Lynde Seldcn, vie -president
of the bank, wl.o was a vice-president
of the corporation.
"He is my son-in-law," the banker
added.
One of the directors of Shermar,
Wiggin p tided, was Gates W. McOar
rah, chai-man of the board of the
New York federal reserve bank and
director of the Bank for International
Settlement.
"That shows the tie-up between
the federal reserve and New York
banks," Senator Couzens (R., Mich.)
said with a smile.
Wiggin replied that McGarrah was
a close personal friend.

National Committee Charges
President Has Violated
Many Pledges Monetary
Maneuvers Main Target.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. (API
In what may be the fore-runner of
a n anti-administration campaign
similar to that directed from Dem
ocratic headquarters through the
Hoover presidency, the Republican
national committee has undertaken
its first attack o'n Roosevelt actions.
Copies of a pamphlet charging vio
lation by the president of many
Democratic campaign and platform
pledges have been circulated among
members of the committee and Re
publican legislators. It Is said to
J? the result of "an increasing vol
ume of reqties from all sections."
Follow-up Uncertain
How or whether it will be follow
ed up could not be ascertained to
day. It Is remembered In political
circles here, however, that the work
of Charles Mtchaelson as publicity
director for the Democratic commit
tee from 1928 onward attracted
much notice.
Republicans made the charge that
a "smear Hoover" campaign was be
ing conducted, andi steps were taken
to counteract Democratic publicity.
Michaelson now Is public relations
director for the NRA.
The Republican pamphlet, which
has not been given general distribu
tion as yet, does not carry the name
of any author. It was obtained by
reporters from Earl Venable, execu
tive secretary of the Republican con
gressional committee.
The national committee organiza
tion which Issued it Is under the
direction of Everett Sanders, nat
ional chairman for Herbert Hoover.
Handera Carries On
has carried on in office since
the 1932 election, with a skeleton
organization here. He was person
ally picked for the post at the out
set of the Inst national campaign
by Mr. Hoover,
There has been talk of a drive
by the anti-Hoover faction to reor
ganize the national committee.
"Let's Look at the Record." Is the
title of thi pamphlet, which hits
particularly at Roosevelt moncrary
actions since March and contends
the administration has set up a sys
tem of "tricky (treasury) bookkeep
ing.'" "Despite all this studied deception
and manipulation In handling the
fiscal affairs of the nation the bud
get is not balanced," It says.

TALKED TO SAVE
Medford And Jackson Coun

latory Power Girls And
Boys Carousing Is Claim.
Steps to curb the roadhouses and
speakeasies of Jackson county, which
officers say have been "running wild,"
the paat fall and summer, are un
der consideration by city and coun
ty officials. A conference was held
this morning, to discuss plana for
their abatement, and another ses
sion will be held aoon. Mayor E.
M. Wilson, City Councilman W. M.
Clemenson, City Attorney F. P, Par
rel! and County Judge Earl Day at
tended today's meeting.
Recommendations will be made to
tho special session of the legislature,
convening November 20, urging that
drastic atepa be taken to regulate
the resorts. At present there are no
laws covering their regulation or li
cense. A prohibitive license la also
favored. Similar St? pa have been
taken by other counties of the state.
Complaints have been pouring Into
county and city officials the past
week, claiming "wide-open" condi
tions prevail and demanding that
the roadhouses be suppressed. It la
reported that the roadhousea are
rendezvous for young girls and boys,
as well aa older folks, after dances,
and that liquor la eerved all comers,
without regard to age. and with vice
and drunkenness flourishing. Prom
these condltlona have arisen the us
ual number of regrettable and sor
did situations, with youth the chief
sufferer, the offlclala are Informed.
With the prohibition law repeal
ed, the only law on the booka to
which the roadhousea are amenable
la the "nuisance law." which la weak.
Thus the hands of the officials are
tied, for effective prosecution, they
point out.
There are 14 or 18 known road
housea in the county, moat all with
in an easy auto ride of this city.
Moat of the places sell "bathtub gin."
home-made beer, and moonshine
liquor, officers eay. Some , have
"guest rooms" and dance floon. Soma
have "entertainers," and there l
muslo of a sort. They keep open all
night, and temporarily beyond the
law. the proflta are said to be ex
cellent. State police have attributed sev
eral auto accidents, the past three
months to Imbibing too long In
roadhouse. Unlesa they are able to
catch a patron drunk while driving,
they can do nothing.
The liquor control law, to be
paased by the next legislature, is
now In course of drafting, accord
ing to present plan will centralize
liquor sala, with the state doing the
dispensing, and collecting the rev
enue, through state liquor ato:es.
This would eliminate the ;'oadhouse.
It Is expected.
