The trend of business in December compared with November was mixed, after allowance for sea- sonal fluctuations. The adjusted in- dex of bank debits declined, but the adjusted indexes of country check clearings and miscellaneous and l. ¢. freight carloadings rose. This s1 ‘crease was most pronounced in freight carloadings of miscellaneous com- modities, for which the index rose from 55 to 59 and reached the hig! level since February 1932. Declines in December, as compared with December last year, occurred in bank debits, freight carloadings, building permits, electric power con- sumption, shipments of linseed prod- said after the senate had voted, 66 to 26, to override President Hoover's veto: “The full realization of the signi- ficance of this action will bring joy and happiness to the hearts of the Filipino people.” Objections trom Manila have eman- ated from a faction that wants im- mediate and unrestricted freedom. The senate passed the bill over the objections of Hoover by five more than the necessary two thirds. The house voted 274 to 94 last week to set aside the veto and make the bill law.

The minority report to reduce the appropriation to $1,500 was, defeated 33 to 15, and the majority recom- mendation subsequently adopted 34 to 14. The proposal now goes on the calendar for final vote in the senate. Sen. D. H. Hamilton, McHenry county, chairman of the state affairs committee, supported the majority report, with Sen. A. W. Fowler, Cass county, leading the debate for the minority recommendation, An attack on the $7,500 recom- mendation brought a retort from Sen. Hamilton that the appropria- tion is “amply protected in the re- solution.” “We can trust the committee,” he “to use no more of the money than is needed.” Sen. Fowler declared that at the public held before the com- mittee Monday “there wasn't present- ed one single statement to call for such an appropriation.” “Why in the name of common sen- se,” he added, “can’t we take $1,500 TO CONFER FRIDAY WITH PRES. HOOVER, President Will Discuss Interna- * tional Situation With Suc- cessor-to-Be SEEKS ACCORD ON POLICIES President-Elect Refuses Comment; Prepares For Trip to Warm Springs Washington, Jan. 18—()—Prest- | | dent Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt will confer at the white house Friday morning on foreign af- fairs and international developments now unfolding. The president intends to confine the conference to those topics alone, as the situation now stands. This was asserted in the highest quarters Wednesday forenoon, soon after it developed that Hoover had invited his successor-to-be to a second meeting in the executive mansion. Although the white house officially remained silent, it was stated that the meeting would be a continuation of the present administration’s effort to gain an accord with the incoming teak ee on international po- cies. This has been interpreted in of- ficial ‘circles to mean not only the war debt, armament and world eco- nomic problems, but probably also talk of the Sino-Japanese conflict.

The meeting on Friday will take |place, as did their previous confer- ence, in the white house proper rather than in the executive offices. At the white house it was said no icomment would be made at present on the affairs to be discussed Friday. From Washington, the President- elect will go to Muscle Shoals, Ala., to inspect the federal power project there, and then to Warm Springs, Ga., where he recuperated from his attack of infantile paralysis. He will remain there for about two trip ters The departure from Jacksonville probably will be made February 4 or 5. He will conclude this trip a week hence at the same port.

Speaker Says He Could Disclose Date For Extra Session “But | Won't Washington, Jan. 18—(%—Con- gressional Democrats Wednesday abandoned hope for enactment of budget balancing legislation at this session and acknowledged plans are set for a special session of the new congress to tackle the task. Twelve strategically situated house members, belonging to the ways and means committee that has jurisdic- tion over revenue legislation, agreed to drop all tax proposals between now and March fourth. Asked when a special session will be summoned, Speaker Garner said: “I could tell you but I won't.” The plain implication was that ar- rangements are under way and that those in charge of party affairs are looking to such a session to do what they feel is impossible of accomplish- Coated as things now stand on Capitol Hill. Indications are that the special session will be called by the Presle dent-elect either for April 10 or 17.
