POWER OFFICIAL DENIES PRESSURE Graustein Ends Testimony on Newspaper Ownership Be- fore Trade Commission. | | Concluding his testimony before the Federal Trade Commission late yes- terday at its hearing into the recent purchase of the control of stock of the | Boston Herald and Traveller, A. R.; Graustein of Boston, president of the| International Paper & Power Co., said no efforts have been made to influence | editorial policies of _the terpers his company and its afflial concerns | hed become interested in. | He toid the commission that his com- pany and its affiliated concerns had pur- chased stock in 13 newspapers in vari- | ous sections el the country, explaining | the company's stock holdings in news- | papers were procured .to ob.ain outlets | for its news print paper products. The | International Paper Co. is a subsidiary | of the International Paper & Power Co. Graustein testified that his company | never had sought the control of the | Boston Herald and the Traveler, al-| though it had purchased 50 per cent of | the stock. At the time of the stock | purchase, he added. the company | created a voting trust which effectively | prevents it from exercising its voting | rights of stock for the control of the publishing company. He said the trustees of this voting trust are Sidney W. Winslow, jr. of Boston, president of the United Shoe | Machinery Co. and_director of the | publishing company: John R. Macomber of Boston, a director of the Interna- tional & Power Co. and a direc tor in several other public uvtility con- cerns, and Philip Stockton, president of the Old Colony Trust Co. of Boston and a director of the General Elec- tric Co.

While the chamber of delegates were | waiting to hear a message on tariff | revision from Chairman Hawley of the douse ways and means commitee, Mr. Cahan likewise touched upon that sub- ject, which has always been a sore spol between the United States and its neighbors at home and across the seas. Approaching it first with the declara- tion that it behooves the business men {of Canada and the United States to two countries, he criticised Fordney-McComber tariff as a severe blow to many Canadian producers, but they acknowledged the right of the United States to promote its industrial development in that manner. Among other American policies as- sailed by the Canadian official was the | proposal, ~sponsored by President | Hoover when Secretary of Commerce, to enter into a joint international Canada.

Alfred J. Brosseau, president of Mack Trucks, Inc., New York, presided at the round table conference this after- ynoon on “Traffic of the City and Its Trade Area.” Among those who have ragreed to take part in the discussion, | which probably was expected to result jin resolutions Jooking to the solution |o{ major traffic ills in metropolitan | areas, are the following: James P. | Barnes, president Louisville Railway | Co.: Harold 8.

NOGALES, Ariz, May 1.—Wheth- er Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar, supreme head of the Mexican revolutionary forces, had agreed to surrender or had decided to fight it out with federal forces closing in on him in Eastern So- nora from two directions, remained un- certain today. Defiant as the power of shis forces crumbled on all sides through the fiight of rebel generals to American soil and the surrender of troops and strong- holds, Escobar last night issued a state- ment saying he was ready to fight. Gen. Escobar, who had been making preparations to ! against a possible federal attack, was reported to have left unexpectedly for an unannounced destination shortly be- fore the conference began. He did not cross to the United States. There was | be much speculation as to which direction he had gone, since federal forces were within a few miles of the town on both the east and west. The surrender of Nogales, Sonora. to federal forces yesterday and the flight into Douglas, Ariz., last night of 11 rebel leaders, including Gen. Martin F. Barcenas, revolutionary mayor of Agua Prieta, left only three revolutionary leaders, hu:ludln"e Escobar, in the Nunhu'nlsunon tl(l.i i Still holding out against the advanc- ing federals were the Indian generals, Marcelo Caraveo and Ramon Yucu- picio. They had been resisting the ad- vance of Gen. Almazan and his fed- erals through Pulpito Pass into Sonora. Their forces were presumed to be in the hills south of Agua Prieta. Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles, head of the federal armies, was expected in No- gales, Sonora, today with his staff and a small detachment of soldiers. The surrender of Nogales was preced- ed by a bombing raid from federal air- planes and considerable confusion. Dur- ing the morning there were 1,200 rebel soldiers in the garrison. When their commander, Gen. Francisco abandoned them and moved to Amcn'; border, called out his forces to disorder on the United States side. Gen.

A resolution also was adopted ex- opposition to pending legisia- tion repealing the railroad surcharge on travel in parlor and sleeping cars. Criticism of the administration’s policy of bringing to an end the leas- ing of Government oil lands was heard from Aaron B.

The effect of modernization of plants through installation of new equipment and the vast change it has brought about in production methods was point- ed out by Prof. R, H.
