An example of divergent tarlff views has come with the plea of farm repre- sentatives for a duty on hides and a plea just as insistent by New England shoe and leather manufacturers that hides be kept on the free list. Chester .Gray, Washington repre- sentative of the American Farm Bureau Federation, made a proposal before the House ways and means committee that o tariff of 45 per cent ad valorem be placed on hides. At a session of the committee last night, representatives of New England manufacturers expressed themselves as stunned by Gray's proposal, and said that they came to Washington pre- pared to protest a duty of only 15 per cent on hides. Sees Rise in Price of Shoes. J. E. McElwain of Boston, represent- ing the National Boot & Shoe Manu- facturers’ Association, estimated that a duty of 45 r cent would mean that everybody who bought shoes would pay from 90 cents to a dollar more per pair. He said that in the course of a year this would probably mean about $270,- 000,000 more for shoes over the Nation. While McElwain opposed the pronos- ed duty on hides he advocated a duty of 25 per cent on shoes. He said that importations of shoes into this country had grown during the last five years from 398,929 pairs to 2,616,884 pairs. His view that a duty on shoes was needed found support from the mayor of Lynn, Mass, Ralph S. Bauer, who on behalf of the Lynn shoe manufac- turers’ tariff committee, asked a duty of 30 per cent on shoes based on Amer- ican valuation. Cites Competition in Business. Bauer sald that factories in this country were closing because of com- petition and increased imports largely from Czechoslovakia and Germany. Bauer estimated that 3,000 skilled shoe Z;;ken were out of employment in For every assoclation or individual who wants a particular tariff rate raised there is some one who appears before the committee in opposition to the pro- posel, and this held true in the case Loewenberg of New York, representing the National Council of American Im- porters and Traders, in protesting against the proposed duty on shoes, said that imports were less than 1 per cent of American pmducuon 1Plea of Farmers for Duty on| THE EVENING RI President Luis Turns His Palace Over to Mr. and Mrs. Hoover. CITY GORGEOUS AT NIGHT Americans Receive Contin- uous Ovation From Crowds as Parade Passes. Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover’s trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic edvantages were recorded jor the United Siates, are to be gained from the mterescing story written by Rex Collier, The Star's OwR representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. BY REX COLLIER. Rio, the incomparable! Her matchless natural beauty and her agtounding cordiality left the 20 cor- respondents with the American mission of good will groping vainly for superla- tives to do her jus.ice. Others, visiting her on ard!.nlry ocea~ sion, have called her the “world’s most beautiful city.” Imagine, then,” the “world's most beautiful city” in gayest carnival mood—her azure, crescent-shaped "har- bor afloat with ships in holiday dress; her modern water front and her world- famed avenues jammed with some 200,000 frenzied citizens; her buildings aflutter with the red, white and blue of the United States and the green and yellow of Brazil and showering, Broadwaylike, artificial snow upon the throngs below—and one may gain some conception of the scenes which greeted President~elect Hoover and his party on the afternoon of December 21 last. The friendship of Brazil for the United States is traditional. The largest of South American republics, set apart from the others by a barrier of language and with a form of government closely resembling that of the great North American Republic, Brazil has counted herself the United States of South America, She feels a deep attachment for the mnorthern republic and this affection has been nurtured by special favors done her from time to time by American statesmen and diplomats. She manifested her gratitude by becom- ing an enthusiastic ally of the United States against Germany during the World War and never has she lost an opportunity since to- demonstrate her esteem.

LONDON, February 22—The Prince of Wales, Ambassador and Mrs. Hough- ton, Stanley Baldwin, prime minister, and other notables were guests last night at a cabaret supper given in the Hotel Savoy by the Association of | um American Newspaper Correspondents in London.. The supper is an annual af- fair on the eve of Washington's birth- ‘l’he list of guests included the Am- bassadors of France, Belgium and Italy, Lord Mayor Kynaston Studd and his lady, Sir Willlam and Joynson- Hicks, Sir Ronald. and Lady Lindsay and Hon. Bruce Ogilivie, who came with the heir to the throne. At the suggestion of the prince and Mr. Baldwin there was a special ar- rangement to allow them to become ac- quainted with the mergbers of the so~ clety and the latter's wives. The prince and premier were seated, with empty chairs on either side of them, and these | places were occupied in rotation by the American couples, each having | about five minutes’ conversation with the gu("!s of honor.

Avenue Mile in Length. ‘The Avenida Rio Branco, cut through the business section of the capital at a sacrifice of 600 buildings and millions of dollars, is to Rio what the Avenida de Mayo is to Buenos Aires and Penn- sylvania avenue is to Washington,; Its mile-long length was bordered with almost solid strips of humanity and its stately buildings were draped with flags and bunting. ‘The Americans received a continucus ovation from the jubilant crowds. Men and women shouted until they were hoarse and waved American flags and hats and handkerchiefs until their arms ached. Dozens of bands were sta- tioned along the route and they played many of the old doughboy songs, such as “Tipperary” and “Over There,” as a reminder of Brazil's support of the American cause in the World War. At the intersection of the Avenida Rio Branco with the Avenida Beira Mar the automobiles passed a gigantic arch of welcome, on which was outlined, in electric lights, an Amecrican eagle, draped flags of the Uniwd States and | Brazil and the words, “Welcome, Her- { bert Hoover.” Skirting the bay by way of the Beira Mar Boulevard, the cars bore to the. right and entered a picturesque street lincd by tall royal palms, at the far end of which was the Guanabara Palace, home of Princess Isabel when Brazil; was an empire and now official resi- dence of the President. Dr. and Senhora Washington Luis had moved temporarily to another residence, 55 that Mr. and Mrs. Hoover might stay in the presidential palace. Luxury of Palace. ‘The American President-lect and his wife- enjoyed the luxury of ‘ths palace in quiet restfulness that evening. From its windows Rio was a dream city, whose gayly lighted avenues were strings of sparkling jewels stretching away into the night. To the right loomed the shadowy hulk of the Sugar Leaf, its peak illuminated by a suspen- <ion car terminal. Below lay the mys- tic waters of the bay, outlined by an arc of lights, and to the left was the cepital itself, crowned by a soft halo most of sale.

The lights of the Avenida Beira Mar resembled a neck- lace of luminous pearls strung around tH= harbor, and in the distance the arch of welcome and the lights of the city gave a fairyland aspect to the picture, Awed by the grandeur of the scene, Mr. Hoover remarked that in all his wanderings about the world he had found no place quite so enchanting as Rio appeared that night. ‘The next day was a busy one, but the President-elect found time to take a 60-mile automobile drive into the mountains back of the city, accom- panied by Ambassador Fletcher. He dispensed with his secret service men during this ride, announcing that per- sonal guards were wholly unnecessary in such a friendly country. Over high- ways of concrete and macadam that fringed the beaches and climbed to lofty palisades fronting the open aea and over gravel roads that twisted and turned and doubled in their tracks as they wound their way up precipitous mountainsides, Mr. Hoover was driven for nearly two hours.

Petropolls, the Summer capital, reached by a new highway, portions of which were built against the sheer face of giant cliffs. There were unforgettable side ex- cursions to the Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Corcavado, or “Hunchback,” another rugged landmark. A swinging car, suspended -on steel cables stretched from a hillside to the very peak of the Sugar Loaf, carried the sightseers far above the rooftops and across a verdant valley to the commanding heights of the great monolith from which & marvelous view of the harbor and its environs was obtained. A cable car on rails car- ried the visitors to the top of Hunchback and afforded them another impressive vista. Some of the members of the mission slls;:fed away from the round of official festivities long enough to take a plunge in the ocena at Copacabana Beach, a residential and resort suburb of lhe capital but a short motor drive from the heart of the city. It was the week before Christmas and all through the downtown streets the shoppers were stirring in prepara- tion for the holidays. Mrs. Hoover was lured by Rio's attractive shops and she spent some hours mingling with the crowds. She, too, was in search of Christmas gifts—for she had planned a gala old-fashioned Yule celebration aboard the battleship of good will. (Copyright, 1929, by The Evening Star.)

Atlee Pomerene, special Government counsel in the Teapot Dome Wyoming litigation, testified before the House | appropriations committee that $100,000 would be needed to carry on the prose- cution against the Mammoth Oil Co. and the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Co in which the Government is seek- g to recover $3,000,000. The case is m the Federal Court in Delaware. Partial Need $55,000. A, D.

Since the Mammoth Oil Co. claimed to be in- solvent, he said, suit was entered against the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Co., which had purchased the Mammoth's production: Estimated Amount Recoverable. Pomerene said that the amount of oil in Teapot Dome was not definitely the | known, but the amount recoverable had been estimated at from 15,000,000 to 35,000,000 barrels. Morrow said the Standard Oil Co. had been producing oil from éection 36 in Elk Hills for 11 years under a de- cision made by former Secretary of the Interior Fall, in which he held that the company had cbtained the area as State school land.

Great Britain has one naval policy for England and one for consumption in the United States, each having as its { goal British control of the seas, Chair- man Britten of the House naval com- mittee declared yesterday. The Iilinois member set forth his views in a statement in which he said the announcement by Sir Austen Cham- berlain, British foreign secretary, that Great, Britain had no intention of call- ing a new disarmament conference, was in “complete discord” with Chamber- lain's approval of the announcement by | | Sir Esme Howard, the British Ambassa- dor to the United States, that his coun- try shortly would call a naval limitation | conference. | Britten also made public a letter from Comdr. J. M. Kenworthy, member of the British Parliament, which asked the chairman to inform his friends that “we, on this side, of all parties, who favor an informal conference, have no desire to interfere with, or to influence one way or the other, the construction | of any warships that the electéd Repre- | sentatives of the United States deem necessary within thalimits of the treaty | agreed upon in Washington in 1921.” “Personally,” Kenworthy wrote, e with the former prime minister Australia, Mr. Hughes, in his declara- | Mon that every additional American warship is an added guarantee for the | ace of the world and the security of the British Empire. But for the sake of our respective taxpayers we want this form of guarantee and our own guaran- tee to be as small and as cheap as possible.” e OEHMANN IS SUED FOR DENYING PERMIT Lawyer Claims Zoning Commission Erred in Property Classification. | | o | Deciaring that the Zoning Commis- sion violated the alley law of 1914 when it zoned as residential 16,000 square feet of his property, adjacent to the Park Theater on Fourteenth street between Buchanan and Critten- den streets, and that Col.
