SPECIAL SESSION ERROR, SAYS KING Utah Senator Predicts That Present Congress Will Be Injurious to People. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 1. ited States Benator Willlam H. King, Democrat, of Utah, last night told the National| Council of American Importers and Traders he believed President Hoover's act in calling a special session of Con- 5 was a mistake. wish Mr. Hoover had not called the Congress into extra session,” Sen- ator King said in addressing the eighth annual banquet of the council. “I think it was a mistake, but if I had made his campaisn promises I would have been obliged to do as he has done. But I make the prediction now— | and I make it regretfully — that this extra session will prove injurious to| the American people, to their trade and | commerce, and that it will not satisfy ! the farmer by giving relief to the ag- | riculturists of our country. | “Whether such relief can be afforded | is not beyond dispute. Certain laws, such as the law of supply and demand, apply to agriculture as to all other | lines of business and industry.” The Senator said that a farm relief | agency would not bring permanent, re- | lief to the farmer, and charged that | “our agriculturist friends today are in- | oculated with the virus which control- | led_seifish manufacturers for many vears and led them to dominate Congress when tariff bills were passed.” He said he was in favor of “a reason- able tariff,” but not one which will en- rich a few and will be injurious not only to other nations, but to our own| citizens.” oo T = CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

This is the third of a_series of articies written exclusively for The Star and cllied newspapers of the Narth American Newspaper Alliance incorporating th most important parts of “Foch Talks.’ BY COMMANDANT BUGNET. tten Exclusively for The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. Marshal Foch did not cast aside all reserve at the first meeting. So the impression which he gave of possesing a personality of extraordinary strength was true, but not the whole truth, be- cause that strength, while apparently a purely natural gift. was really the crea- tion of his own will, which maintained, organized and co-ordinated itself. The marshal was at once simple and complex, with a host of inconsistencies that were more apparent than real, but manifest enough to confuse the observer. He was modest, but could recall his po wri | sition when necessary; stern, with mo- ments of charming gayety; precise, he sometimes issued vague orders or curt Than Real.
