A HUSTON REPORTE -~ TORETAIN POST 8. 0. P. Congressional Lead- ers Said to Have Been Informed. An impression prevailed at the Capi- fol yesterday that Claudius Huston had nformed Republican eongressional lead- @rs that he intends to remain as chair- man of the R-publican national com- mittee. Efforts to substantiate or disprove the impression were unavailing. No public statement was forthcoming from any one who should know the situation and Mr. Huston could not be reached. A report is expected next week from the lobby committee relating its dis- closures of Huston's use of money given to him in behalf of a campaign for Muscle Shoals legislation. Republican leaders at the Capitol, who have been in varying moods over the continuation of Huston as party chieftain after the disclosures by the lobby committee, understand Mr. Hus- ton's decision to retain the chairman- ship to final so far as he is con- cerned. Cause of Speculation. The finality with which the chairman ‘was represented by friends as having expressed his determination to hold to his post led to speculation whether he had discussed the situation with Presi- dent Hoover. While there has been considerable restlessness among the Republican lead- ers over Huston's situation, no effort has been made to make an issue of his holding the party chairmanship. A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the Republican national commit- tee to select a secretary in the place of sentative Fort of New Jersey, who ed, has been postponed. There hlgkbeen plans to hold this meeting this Week. Report to Be Made. ‘The lobby committee will present its report on Huston's activities as former president of the Tennessee River Improvement Association to the Senate some time next week. _After that, Republican leaders believe the fu- ture of Huston will be definitely deter- mined, unless President Hoover and Huston have settled it between them- selves that he will continue. ‘The lobby committee found that Hus- ton was paid $36,100 by the Union Car» bide Co. as president of the Tennessee River Improvement Association. company was interested in the leasing to privete industry of the Muscle Shoals nitrate and power projects. Huston deposited this money in his rokerage account at a time when he had a deficit, and his broker testified that he made a profit of $520 on part of this payment to him by the Union Car- bide Co. All of the $36,100 was even- tually turned over by Huston to the ;I";nnme River Improvement Associa- n. Village Census Taken.

Instead of storing these pianos to depreciate in value we have priced every instrument at greatly reduced figures and any one contemplating the purchase of a piano in the next few months cannot afford to miss the opportunity. All pianos not sold outright we are anxious to place in the homes of families who are interested in owning a piano in the immediate future, and for the valuable ad- vertising we will receive by having good families use them.
