President Hoover is expected to ig- nore the letter placed into the Record of the Senate lobby committee yester- day saying he had instructed Walter Newton, one of his secretaries, to es- tablish 'contact between Cuban sugar interests and members of the House ways and means committee at the time the tariff bill was being written. As the lobby zroup turned to the fur- j ther questioning of Edwin P. Shattuck, !a New York attorney employed by the Cuba company, who has been describ- ed as a friend of Mr. Hoover, it was in- dicated at the White House that the Chief Exetutive proposed to maintain the silence he has displaved toward all the maze of sugar tagiff testimony. Watch General Staff, Aside from the White House and the committee room at the Capitol, interest also was directed to the War Depart- ment to see what, if anything, might be forthcoming from the new Secretary of War, Patrick J. Hurley, or the Army General Staff in reply to another of the many letters obtained by the committee. This communication, said Gen. Enoch Crowder, former Ambassador to Cuba, an advocate of & low sugar duty, had prepared a memorandum of limiting sugar imports from the Philippines, and had 1 “rned “that the plans of the Gen- eral & aff provide that in case of war any atiempt to keep a traffic lane open between the Philippines and the United States would be promptly abandoned.” Plans Usually Secret. The letter aroused considerable inter- est as the war plans of the Army Gen- eral Staff always are shrouded in ut- most secrecs, and whenever the Secre- taries of War or the Navy, or high offi- cers of the two services appear before congressional committees to discuss War tactics, all except committee members are ousted. The lobby committee recalled Shat- tuck with the view of going further into his activities in connection with the campaign Cuban interests waged for a low sugar duty. The decision to place the attorney again In the witness chair as reached after H Lakin, who You'll treasure get.
