A demand for a tariff on manganese, & raw material nsed in the manufac- ture of steel, was made in the Senate today by Semator Ashu-st, Democrat, | of Arizona, who said statistics in tax | returns of the big steel corporations | showed they had made a net profit of $030,181,059 since enactment of the present tariff law. Ashurst took the floor afler Sen- ator Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana said he had been informed President | Hoover favored the free listing of | manganese and asked if this had prompted the Scnate finance commit- | tee to place the product on the free Jist after once deciding to put a duty upon it. Chaifman Smoot denled Mr. Hoover | had influenced the committee in revers- | ing its decision. | Can Afford Duty. The Arizona Senator said he cited the profits of the stecl interests to show, they could afford to pay a duty on man- | ganese. He first sounded out Senators | on the propriety of using the statistics which were supplied by the Treasury to the finance committee Ashurst referred to eight steel corporations.

Oppose Steel Industry. The Senate coalition of Democrats and independent Western Republicans stood squarely opposed to the wishes of the powerful American steel industry and threw itself determinedly into an effort 4o .impose an import duty on ma; ore.. anganese as an important hary lloy, the steel men wanted it restored, after seven years, to the free 1‘ and had the support of the Senate finance committee and the ad- ministration group. The manganese miners, on the other hand, were anxious for tariff ion and were given the backing of the coalition, which repeatedly had dem- onstrated its ability to override thz tariff proposals of the administration camp. The most recent exhibition of the coalition’s strength came late yestercuy in a vote on the first major industrial rate schedule to be reached, that fixing the duty on pig iron. By a wide ma jority, the coalition was successful in fixing this rate at 75 cents a ton, a figure fust half that proj by the administration group and 37); cents less than the present duty. The vote ‘was 48 to 30. ‘The manganese schedule has become one of the most controversial in the bill. At present the rate is 1 cent Yfl pound, a duty approved for continuation by the House and at first by the Senate committee. The latter "reconsidered. however, voted again ‘on the schedule and recommended that it be restored to the free list, from which it was lift>d seven years ago by the Fordney-Mc- Cumber bill. May Cut Undutiable Maximui “The present law and the House pro- posal affect ore with a manganese con- tent of 30 per cent or more. Therc was talk that in addition to urging a continuation of the duty the coalition proposed to reduce the undutiable maxi- mum from 30 to 10 per cent. The circumstances under which the committee reversed its stand on' this item came under the fire of the coali- tion, too, and furnished one of the major controversy-producing points of the debate. Action on the pig iron paragraphs yesterday provoked a sharp exchange between Reed of Pennsylvania, a leader of the administration group, and Norris of Nebraska, one of the spokesmen of the independents. The former said that the vote could only serve to uphold hiz contention that the tariff bill was dcad and that the House could never agree to the wholesale changes which the coalition was making. Norris replied that the Pennsylvanian had come “perilously near to violating the rules of the Senate" and had gone beyond the bound of “ordinary sports- manship.” He asserted that he was tiréd of Reed's “lectures,” and that it was not becoming in the latter to question ihe intelligence of the Senate after it Lad spent several hours in debating an issue with a result not to the Pennsyl- vanian’s liking. An_ effort to limit debate on the metals schedule by unanimous conscnt | was defeated through the objection of | several Senators, who wished to speak | at length on the manganese duty.

Blinded by a smoke screen laid down by a suspected rum runner, Policeman Frank E. Kenney, 28, attached to the thirteenth precinct, narrowly escaped serious injury last night when the police car in which he was pursuing the suspect at a €0-mile-an-hour clip crashed into a tree on Riggs road just inside the District line, throwing him to the ground. Kenney was picked up, unconscious, by Policeman W. M. Sanders, who re- sponded to a call sent in to the thir- teenth precinct station, and who took Kenney to Walter Reed Hospital, where an examination by Dr. Henry W. Daine disclosed that the policeman was un- injured. Kenney immediately returned to duty. According to Kenney, he was “pulling” & police box on Riggs road near the District line when an automo- bile whizzed. past him. His suspicions aroused Kenney, who gave chase. He said when he jumped into the police car the unidentified driver of the speed- ing car apparently recognized him and increased his speed. ‘The pursued car sped in the direction of Washington. The chase had barely | gotten under way, Kenney sald, when | clouds of white smoke beiched forth from the exhaust of the car ahead, blinding him and causing him to lose control of his car. Kenney sald he| remembered nothing after striking the tree until he awoke in the hospital.

[ When Mr. Arnold resumed the stand | this morning, he was questioned by| Senator Blaine regarding the financial | records of the National Council State | Legislatures, which had been forwarded | to the committee in compliance with a | request made when John Henry Kirby of Houston, Tex., president of the council, was on the witness stand. Senator Blaine called attention to the fact that the disbursements of the council from its organization in Wash- | ington in September, 1927, to September | 1, 1920, had amounted to $17,901, but | that no information was furnished to | show how_ the money was spent. Mr. | Arnold sald that as he was not an| officer or even a member of the council, | he could not give any details. Replying to further questions, M Arnold said the American Tax Pay League deposited its funds in the Mun- sey Trust Co. of this city, and the Southern Tariff Association’ keeps its money in_the Fort Worth National Bank of Fort Worth, Tex. The Na- tional Council of State Legislatures, he said. also had used the Munsey Trust Co. here as a depository, but he thought the council’s funds had been exhausted. | Senator Blaine asked for a list of all | persons who attended the first meeting | of the National Council of State Legis- latures in Washington and the amount ONE Blaine asked “and | | ing?

Mr, Ar- nold sald that information would have to be obtained from Thomas A. Hill, treasurer, of Pine Bluff, Ark. Didn’t Know He Ran. “Was any of this money used in Mr. Hill's campaign for lieutenant governor' of Arkansas?” asked Senator Blaine. “I did not know he ran for lieutenant governor,” replied Mr. Arnold. Mr. Arnold denied that the American Taxpayers' League, of which he is | vice president and manager, paid the expenses of governors to & congress in Savannah In 1925, nor were they paid by the National Council of State Legis- latures, he declared. He also denied that either organization had paid the expenses of certain governors who came to Washington to appear bsfore the House ways and means committee and, the Senate finance committee during | the consideration of the tax revision | bi'l in 1926. Mr. Arnold admitted, however, that the expenses of delegates to the first conference of the National Council of State Legislatures in this city had been paid from the council's treasury. He said the American Taxpayers' League had been “assoclated” with the council | in arranging the Washington meeting. Senator Blaine read more letters from the files of Mr. Arnold’s office in the Munsey Building, this city.

Senator Blaine asked the witness whether he and his associates were trying to arrange a “trade” whereby certain Southern Senators would vote for the tariff bill if rates were increased o products in their States. He referred particularly to Florida Senators. “That was not necessary,” replied Mr. hose Senators were standing Arnold; ‘They know for the people down there. their stuff.” On the same point Senator Blaine read a letter sent by Arnold to E. A. Burguieres of New Orleans on Jjanuary 9 of this year. In this ietfer Mr. Ar- nold told of having lked with a “group of important Senators” nd having learned that they had aecignated Senator Watson Indiane, Republican floor leader, as “conlact” man in the Senate, “in so far as the Prpublican party in the Senate is concerned.” This letter also stated tnat Senators Moses of New Hampshire and Reed of Pennsylvania would be ‘“assoclated” with Senator Watson in this work. Mr. Arnold admitted writing (he let- ter, but insisted that no ntact” had n made with Senators Moses rnd eed. He said, however that he had talked with “Smoot and others.” Seasonal Clause Is- Cited. Questioned as to the result of these seasonal conferences, Mr. Arnold said that the seasonal clause had been taken out of the tariff bill before it reached the Senate, in accordance with the wishes of the Southern Tariff As- sociation. “Do you characterize that as lobby- asked Senator Blaine. y, no, we were working in the interests of the Southern farmers,” re- plied the witness. “Were you trying to whip the Florida Senators into line with a pickax?"” asked Senator Blaine. “There was no need to whip them into line,” answered Mr. Arnold.

It was suggested that in addition to the official support which should be sought for the project, the heip of the towns along the route should be ob- tained, and a great movement organized in order to bring the development of the highw to the front, with a view to building it as soon as possible. Mr. Bulleit explained that when the | discussion developed last year as to a | location for a Summer White House for the President of the United States Mr. Sheely introduced in the Pennsylvania Legisiature and had passed a bill which authorized the Stats of Pennsylvania to offer to the Federal Government 1,000 acres of land from its forest reserves located anywhere in the State the Gov- | ernment desired it for use as & Summer | White House, and ‘also to construct a | road from the Summer White House to | the Maryland-Pennsylvania State line at the expense of the latter common- wealth.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 7.—The ministerial declaration of the new Tardieu govern- ment, presented to the Prench Parlia- ment today, outlines a policy of peace and conciliation abroad and prosperity and security at home. The new goyernment assured th~ Chamber of Deputies that it will enter the London naval conference in the | friendliest spirit, having ever in mind, | however, the attitude of its predecessors that general disarmament must include that on land and in the air as well as on the sea. The declaration says that security will be gained by effective organiza- tion of the national defenses and that domestic order will be maintained by “the excluston of violence and the maintenance of liberty of conscience within the laws of the land.” Big Economic Program. An exiensive program of economic development involving expenditure of $200,000,000 maintenance of the “tra- ditional equilibrium” between -agricul- ture and industrial production snd the protection of the “four great preducts-— wheat, wine, live stock and beets—with equitable remuneration to the eulti- vator” will form the basis of the pro- gram of prosperity. Encouragement to a large birth rate, ald to large families, improvement in the condition of the humbler classes. important. reduction in taxes and the constantly improving care for r vie- tims and wounded combattants are some of other important points of the mew ministry’s platform. Automobiles are finally to benefit by a tax reduction of $7,500.000 in the de luxe class of taxes, and pharmaceutical products, overlooked in two previous tax reductions, will also have the advantage of lower schedules. Cut Income Tax. In addition” the cabinet has decided to send out only nine-tenths of the nor- mal tax bills on salaries and prefes- sional incomes, canceling the remaining | tenth at the end of 1930 if the budget is still balanced. This would amount to $40,000,000 and make a total tax reduction, this year and next, in the neighborhood of $133,- 000,000 through adopted or proposed legislation. In general Premier Tardieu's reading of the declaration got a good reception, the center and the right applauding, in some cases frantically, and even some on the left showing polite approval. The demarkation of applause, how- ever, Indicated that the premier must the French ministry and the appoint- ment of Andre Maginot as minister of war. M.

FRANCE DENIES SUSPENSION. | Maginot Explains Troop Movements and Gives His Stand. PARIS, November 7 (/).—Reports | from Berlin that evacuation of the Rhineland has been suspended by order | of Andre Mn’mot. minister of war in the new Tardieu cabinet, were official Iy denied today. The movement of troops necessitated by the evacuation, it was explained, might give réason for the supposition that the evacuation orders had been changed, but such orders have been changed only to meet exigencies of the service without in the least modifying thes:vucnnhn. } d - me companies and regiments the occupled territory are being dis- solved instead of being transferred and other units are shifted to take their places. This movement of men, it was said in official quarters, was all that could give ‘risé to the Berlin story. Regroupment of Units. M. Maginot, . questioned concernin; the Berlin report, sald: ¥ “The t: simply by reason of hygiene and the regroupment of units.” Regarding evacuation of the third of the Rhineland, he declared: “Y® can deny categorically the infor- mation in question for the simple rea. son that evacuation has not commenced and that it cannot be commenced until the Young plan has been accepted and parliament deliberated upon it.” Evacuation of the Rhineland assumed o Chamber of Deputies to be voted further.; life or extinction. Success of the German Natjonalist petition for a national plebiscite on post-war treaties with the former allies has stiffened French public opinion. It was believed the stiffening might be reflected in the attitude of certain sections of the Chamber toward M. Briand, foreign minister, who will be 'imerpelllted on matters of foreign pol- cy. It was said in circles close to the for- eign ministry today, however, that whatever variations in evacuation were in prospect would be merely to adjust the situation to new developments. Briand Reiterates Stand. Evacuation, it was sald, would con- tinue, but M. Briand’s former stand was reiterated, that complete withdrawal of troops was dependent on final ratifica- tion and commencement of execution of the Young plan. .
