Mixup
Washington The difficult bud
ness of formolating legislative pro
grams to improve the nation's eco
nomic condotion Is occupying house
party leaders. Important conferences
will begin on Tuesday with the ar
rival of the democratic speakership
choiqe. Representative Garner of
Texas,, and Representative Tilson of
Connecticut, the republican floor
leader. Tilson is expected to discuss
the administration's program with
Presodent Hoover, but the white
house denied, a report from San An
tonio that Garner had been requested
to confer with the chief executive.
The Texan, however. . has formu
lated a tax revision program design
ed to increase and stabilize the in
ward flow of federal . revenue. He
plans to submit it to his colleagues
for discussion. Garner, in view of the
closely divided hause party strength,
has ' maintained "political silence,"
particularly since his party has gain
ed a majority.
It has been made clear that the
republicans plan to base their rev
enue raising program on -adminis
tration recommendations on how to
meet the treasury deficit. There arc
some indications that the republicans
hope to get democratic support on
legislative proposals dealing with
agriculture and a revision of the
federal reserve act.
Meanwhile, Representative Rainey,
a power in the democratic wing of
the ways and means committee, out
lined a legislative program calling
for a revision downward of the tar
iff on a reciprocal basis. The Illi-
niis congressional veteran, who is
being boomed by midwestern demo
crats for the floor leadership, said
that "if we are .going to control, the
house we must have a strong legis
lative program to offer the people of
the nation."
"The ' world Is suffering from a
hardening of trade arteries thru high
tariff walls," Rainey asserted. "The
tariffs are so high we can t reduce
them In the ordinary way .without
having our markets flooded with for
eign merchandise."
Representative . Sabatn, of Ultaois,
another democrat of more than
twenty-five years', service, .said he
woala renew his efforts to obtain
legislation to outlaw abort sellong
of commodities and securities. He
declared that fifty professional short
sellers were responsible for the beat
ing down pf the prices of grain and
securities In the last two years. i

Federal Eeserve ' Board's Figures
Chow the Hun on American
Credit Has Been Stopped
Washington The "run" on Amer
ican credit has stopped, figures issu
ed by the Federal Reserve Board re
cently reveal. During the last the
encouraging . developments noted by
President Hoover in his statement
of OctJ 30 have, in general, continu
ed. The yellow tide that carried as
much as 92.000.000 in gold. out of
the United States in one week at its
height, has now turned the other
way. Last week gold was imported
into the United States for. the first
time since England left the gold
standard. The amount Imported was
$24,000,000, indicating restored con
fidence abroad.
At the same time, evidence con
tinued that hoarding of money by
timid citizens in the United States
is slackening. Although the amount
of money In circulation the index
of the currency which hoarders
hsve taken out of banks and put
into strong boxes Increased by
$63,0001000 in the week, officials ex
plained that such an Increase is a
natural montbend phenomenon.
Hoarding of currency at its peak
caused an increase of money in cir
culation of $200,000,000 in one week.
according to Mr. Hoovers recent
statement.
At the same time, prices of wheat
have continued to .advance during
the week, thereby distributing mil
lions of dollars to the grain-raising
farmers and by that much increas
ing purchasing powe. wnich can
flow out to start. the wheels cf in
dustry revolving once more.
The figures released by th; Tt ederal
trends, cited by Mr. etacishrdlutac
Reserve Board amplify, the trends
cited, by Mr. Hoover as grounds for
optimism, particularly concerning
the gold situation. This is shown in
the following figures- on the amount
of gold withdrawals" by weeks dur
ing the time when Europe experienc
ed its "dollar panic":
Sept, 23. $118,000,000 Sept. 30,
$158,000,000; Oct. 7, $97,000,000;
Oct, 14, $218,000,000; Oct. 21, $88,-

Washington, Nov. 8. Reports of
new clashes between Japanese forces
and the Chinese in Tientsin reached
the capital late today as White house
and state department officials view
ed the . latest developments In tne
highly ' inflammatory Manchurian
situation with fresh alarm.
Messages received from Frank P.
Lockhart, American consul general at
Tientsin, carried the information
that yesterday's fighting near the
Japanese concession had been follow
ed today by an exchange of fire be
tween Japanese troops, and the Chi
nese police.
The firing took place. It was said,
after a Japanese demand for the re
moval of Chinese police forces to a
position 900 feet distant from the
concession had . not been complied
with. Two Japanese were reported
killed and several Chinese wounded.
The whole Manchuria problem
with the new flareup in Tientsin was
considered intensively today by Pres
ident Hoover and Secretary Stimson
under circumstances which pointed
to some new American peace move.'
Reports were circulated that new
representations were to be made by
Ambassador Forbes at Tokyo.
It is known that , considerable
thought is being given by Secretary
Stimson to the question of what this
country will do when the league pow
ers meet Monday to consider Japan's
new answer to the league's demand
for the withdrawal of Japanese
troops from outside the Manchurian
rallroadrones. World-Herald.

Ho Comment
Washington, Nov. 10. The
White House had no comment to
make concerning the arrest of
President Hoover's brother-in-law,
C. V. Leavitt. in San at Mon
ica, Cal., on a charge of posses
sion of liquor.
Santa Monica, Cal., Nov. 10. C.
V. Leavitt, of Santa Monica, brother-in-law
of President Hoover, was ar
rested Monday night as he was leav
ing the rear of a grocery store with
a sack containing 19 pints of whisky,
according to Santa Monica police re
ports. Cliff Dailey. proprietor of a gro
cery store, was also taken into cus
tory, he and Leavitt being released
on $250 bail each after they had
been booked at the Santa Monica po
lice station on a charge of possession
of liquor.
Mrs.' Mary Van Ness Hoover-Leav-itt,
at her home, admitted that it was
her husband who was arrested. At
first she was reluctant to discuss the
case.
Then she said:
"Mr. Leavitt is more a victim
of circumstances than anything
else."
According to the federal agents,
who was accompanied by Policeman
Tom Parr of the Santa Monica po
lice force, Leavitt was greatly per
turbed when he was arrested and re
marked to the officers:
"My God, boys, you don't
know what you have done."
Later at the Santa Monica police
station , the federal officers said.
Leavitt insisted that he was a bro
ther-in-law of President Hoover. ;
Thomas Noe, chief federal prohi
bition enforcement agent in this dis
trict, said the report from two of
his men stated they had arrested
Dailey and Leavitt and that the lat
er had asserted he was President
Hoover's brother-in-law.
According to Noe, his men were
watching Dailey's store when one of
them decided they should also watch
the back door and as they approached
the entrance Leavitt Is said to have
appeared with the sack of liquor.
"Don't bother me," the agents
quoted Leavitt as saying, "this
liquor don't belong to me."
."Who does It belong to?" In- ,
quired one of the agents.
