Another or those White Sulphur Springs bust new conferences was held In New York last week, very, very secret ly. About 150 of the foremost bus iness leaders of the country were there. If you will read the- big names at the top of the roster of the National As sociation of Man u f a c t urers, you will hare tht rough list. ' How such an PAUL AIALLON assemblage could foregather, act and adjourn, without outsldera finding out about It, la the highest possible verification of the fact that nothing sensational was done. In that fact Ilea the story. ' The unofficial topic under discus sion was the same subject that comes to the fore whenever two business men meet on the street the New Deal and Its effect on business. The official topic was taxation, a far safer debating subject. After some sharp expressions of opinion, the conference is supposed to have agreed to start a campaign' against increased taxation and free spending. At least this la the confidential re port on the gathering as received by president Roosevelt. It general au thenticity has been attested elsewhere although there seems to be some dis agreement about whether taxation and spending are bipartisan political Issues. At any rate, no direct action was taken against the New Deal. One or two outstanding business men who are democrats are supposed to have attended the gathering. They opposed any atep which would have a flavor of political partisanship. The first result has been the publi cation nationally of a tip that the national business conference commit tee will start an antt-taxatlon drive. There will be more of that later. Leaders of the conference believe they made a wise decision. Nine tenths of thoso present were probably asalnst the New Deal but they real ised that, their votes count for little. To make any action effective they had to take a step which would have the broadest popular appeal. The dual subject of taxation and spending seemed to meet the situation. Furthermore, such a campaign may help to keep down the spending wing of the New Deal. Thus, lta effect might really turn out to be non partisan. Note There was no sensible reason or excuse for the secrecy attending the gathering. There are many Inside rumora that the Wall Street pool playboys have donned their swimming suits again. Gossips relate tht the securities and exchange commission Is checking up on a lot more pool operations than the one It has prosecuted. The fact Is the SEC has some ticker tape detectives of whom It la proud. Authorities here like to be. . no large operations could escape their notice. They are alwBys checking up. What these detectives seem to have found lately la evidence that there could have been or might have been some pools in certain stocks. But proving it Is another matter, especi ally because the strong price Jumps of these socli could also be logically attributed to particular conditions af fecting them. Neither the gossips nor the detec tives can mention any names, nor sre they likely to. First return from the Literary Di gest poll so far are supposed to show a far stronger trend against the New Deal than any of the other indices yet published. The result will be out la about two weeks. Incoming postcard ballots of the next few days may soften the figures before publi cation. No one knows about that. New dealers here are grumbling that the poll question was Improperly phrased. The question was: "Do you now approve the act and policies of Mr. Roosevelt's New Dal to daw?" The question submitted In the 1933 prll was: "Do you on the whole ap prove the acta and pollcie of Presi dent Roosevelt's first year?" iiiiM iiifiTrr.rii It did not get out. but both Presi dent Roosevelt and Premier Km? iCoauauftd on Paj JhXfl Fall Associated Press HOUSE BACKS UP, OLD MED Deadlock Broken In Last Half Hour Of Special Session Cost Fixed At $2,500,000. SALEM, Nov. 0. House adjourns sine die at U:5U. SALEM. Ore., Nov. 9. (UP) Thirty minutes before It was scheduled to adjourn the end of Its 20-dny special session, the house of representatives backed upo on its earlier stand for a new stat capltol on a large site and gave in to the senate Idea that It be built on the old site at a cost of 2.SOO.0O0. The action came after hours of conference In which committees of the senate and house struggled to reach some kind of common ground on which both houses, at loggerheads all through the session, could find. The vote wasto pass the bill finally with the site limited to the old site at a cost of $2,500,000. The vote was 45 to 14. It was the result of the desire ot the house In the waning hours of the session to go as far as possible In trying to get some kind of a capltol bill through the session before the final hour of sdjounrment was reached. SALEM, Ore., Nov. 0 (AD The house tonight reconsidered the oontrremc report of the capilol committee and passed the senate', measure to expend SS.Sini.OOO for a capltol building to be constructed on the old site. 1 The action was taken after the capltol committee had been unable to aires and wa discharged. The measure, Identical with that bassed by the senate, was. sent. the senate chamber Immediately. Its former re-passage was believed but a matter of form. SALEM. Ore., Nov. B. (AP) A con ference committee at the Oregon state legislature was battling against time tonight In an erfort to effect a com nramlse on the question of a new canltol. At 11 D. m. only an hour remained until sine die adjournment of the three weeks' special session. Whether a conference report could be pre sented and acted on by that time waa problematical. Possibility that state house clocks would oe stoppca at 11:59 to permit further debate loomed. The senate earlier tonight declined to accept house amendments to the capltol bill and returned tnc meas. ure to the Joint committee, ine sen ate Indicated It would concur ir house demands that 3,000.000 In stead of 3 ,600.000 be expended, but stood firm on Its refusal to consider other sites than the location of the 59-ycar-old structure which wa de stroyed by fire last spring. The house and senate late tonight were atlll waiting for the conference deadlock to be broken. The Joint committee. In addition to the capltol problem, was facing the task of co ordinating the senate and house un ployment Insurance measures after the senate had amended the house bill to Include employes' participa tion. Governor Charles Martin. In a mea sage today, said he would "bow" to the rejection of the Caniialaria Heights site, which he had attempted to have cnsldered. The three remain ing possibilities Included the old site, the old site with the addition of the Willamette university campus and the former sits with the addition of two neighboring resldentlsl blocks. Another possibility centered around attempts to place the choice of a site up to a commission. A sales tax bill providing for a a per cent tax and one-fourth of 1 per cent on wholesale and retail sales was pawed by both houses. The reve nue therefrom would finance old-ace pensions. The bill Is to be referred to popular vote. A special election In January u-as being considered. Governor Martin In his message said he believed his duties as chief execu tive "have been fully performed" In presenting the Candalarla site for consideration and declared he has! not changed his mind concerning Its asserted advantages. However, he said: "The final decision must be and la with the legislature. I bow to this decision."

(UP) Bruno Richard Hauptmann suffered a bad cane of nerve tonight. The ordenl of hearing a fcltow pris oner In the death house being pre pared to walk the last mile" gave the convicted kidnaper -murderer of the Lindbergh baby ihe 'Jitters.' Hauptmann was more upset and morbid tonight than at any time since he waa committed to the death house almost nine months ago. The reason waa that Romalne John son, a nero. will be electrocuted next week. Johnson's departure will leave only Hauptrrunn and two other men in' "murderers' row." Heuptmann knows that In Ju.it a few days possibly a few hours Johrrson will walk by his cell for the last farewell. He will be the sixth man to walk by Bruno and bid him good bye since he was committed to the prison last February. During the first four executions. Hauptmann retained his calm. At the last execution he became nervous. This time it la frankly admitted that "Bruna Is considerably upset." Bruno now la worried about his fate. While atlll expressing crfnfu dence that he will never go to the electric chair, he. la not so sure of himself. His lawyers have told him the United States supreme court will probably grant a renew of the caw. But Hauptmann lsn t so sure. Bruno spends considerable time reading fiction. He wldom touches the Bible In his cell. Now ana men he plays a game of checkers through the bars with one of his guards. BULLETIN GREAT FALLS. Mont..

CHICAGO. Nov. 8. (AP) They gave the Rev. William A. (Billy) Sunday the kind of funeral be wanted today a rousing revival service. - They sang the "Glory Bong" with zest and pleaded with "sinners' to come down front and be "saved" at his last rites in Moody Memorial church. "Don't put it off even until the end of this funeral service," horted the Rev. Dr. John Timothy Stone, president of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in calling for converts to "Mr. Sunday's Savior. Four thousand faithful followers said "Good-bye to the boss" wltn a smile on trielr Hps, but hardly an eye waa not shiny with tears. "No sad stuff when I go." the evangelist hid snli. "No black. No crepe. No tears. But have 'em sing the 'Glory Song'." So they stood up, those 4,000 who filled the church, and poured their hearts into tuneful praise of "The glory" of "that beautiful shore," Up front, arms swinging as they did in the old tabernacle days, song leader, Homer Rodenheaver looked down on the casket lid and smiled. A little sawdust on the floor, a few pans to take up a collection, and plenty of room for "Billy" to strip off his coat, vest, and tie before starting his famous wind-up to "strike out the devil" and the old time revival would have been complete. The casket was closed after from 15.000 to 20,000 persona had passed by for a final tribute. Sunday's old helpmates Rode heaver, Albert Peterson and Harry Clark sang hymns the evangelist loved, prayers were said, eulogies were spoken by Dr. Stone and the Rev. Dr. H. A. Ironsides to conform to the custom of memorial assem blages. Burial was on a little green knoll In Forest Home cemetery, in the city that gave him baseball and first pulpit fame and saw his life's sudden close last Wednesday night.
