By the Associated Press. A proposal to investigate the rub. ber and coffee industries in the United | States was rejected today by the| House committee which is inquiring into foreign monopolies in rubber, cof- fee and other raw materials. The effort to expand the investiga- tion to include conditions in the rub- | ber ana coffee trade in this country was made at an executive session of the committee by Represe { Parks, Democrat, Arkansas. flected a considerable movement, 1eady apparent among Democratic members of the House, to bring into questfon the attitude of the present | administration toward business meth- | 0ds at home.

The advisability of the investigation was questioned in the House vester- day by several Democratic members, Representatives Black of New York and Connally of Texas, both asserting that the committee should turn its at- tention to monopolies in this country over which Congress has legislative power. Secretary Hoover's position in urg- ing the rubber inquiry amounted to “propaganda plus.” in the opinion of Mr. Black, who charged that Amer- jcan tire companies are “siccing the the faithful Hoover on the British lion just when they are about to inflate price: Mr. Connally advised the committee to take a look at “the trusts that are running between its legs” and not spend all its energies attacking for- eign monopolies. .

A. L. Viles, general manager of the Rubber Association of America, held hat the solution of the rubber prob- em lay in an increased production outside British jurisdiction, suggest- ing the Philippines as a potential source. { URGES RESTRICTION'S REPEAL. LONDON, January 8 (P).—The Stevenson rubber restriction scheme having played its part, it is probably now due for fundamental revision, says an editorial in the Westminster Gazette, ‘discussing the general in- advisability of any scheme of protec- tion or trade restriction. “The Stevenson scheme,’ remarks the paper, “is, in fact, but a part of those protective schemes which re- coil with boomerang effect upon the heads of their authors. Even Secre- tary Hoover admits that reprisals merely augment the evil.” It the general opinifon in the rubber market that if the Stevenson scheme - were scrapped there would still be an excess demand over the supply of rubber for some time to come. Rumors have been circulated that the British government would advise an early repeal of the re. strictive legislation to the govern- ments concerned, but thus far it has been impossible to obtain confirmation of this. | Hoil;d in Arms Parley.

DAMAGE TO PLANES IS BLAMED ON GALE Breaking Away of 17 Craft at Baltimore Not Due to Fly- ers. Court Finds. By the Ascociated Press. The breaking away of 17 seaplanes from their mooring near Baltimore on October 25 during a gale was due to no faults of naval personnel, a naval court of inquiry reported today to Sec- retary Wilbur. It was recommended that no further actlon be taken. The planes were in_two squadrons which had flown from Hampton Roads to observe the Schneider cup races, and two were totally destroyed, three required extensive repairs, six suffered small damage and six were uninjured. The damage was placed by the court at $93,700. The court found that the squadrons had recelved weather warnings the afternoon before of a Southeast storm and had taken proper precautions in selecting suitable anchorage and strong moorings. The morning of the storm began reaching at times a force of 75 miles an hour, but came from the Southwest, and in a few hours swung to the Northwest, with the planes in an exposed posi- tion. It was several hours after the storm began before the squadron re- ceived radlo warnings of a storm from the West in an intercepted radio message from Philadelphia. The storm lasted for 13 hours.

January 8.—The eruption of Mount Vesuvius. which began with violence Wednesday, is continuing. The internal rumblings, however, are constantly diminishing in_force, indi- cating, according to volcanologists, a speedy termination of the phenom! enon. The crater last night presented a fantastic spectacle. projecting a huge umbrella-shaped cloud of smoke, the under surface of which was radiantly red and the upper part lost in ob scurity. Large incandescent ciiders constantly sailed upward from the crater ahd disappeared into the smoke. The molten lava, which has been flowing plentifully, is beginning to harden, buflding up again the crater formation which was torn away in the -ruption of 1905. The director of the Vesuvius Observatory is re- maining at his post. INSISTS THAT NYE HAS RIGHT TO SEAT Stephens Supports Minority Re- port of Senate Elections Committee.
