ATIAGK N MEYER STRS CRIIESH President Is Told by Tilson Reaction Is Unfavorable. Luce Hits McFadden. Attack upon Eugene Meyer, jr., chair- man of the Federal Reserve Board, in the House, has created an “unfavor- able” reaction, President Hoover was told late yesterday by Representative Tilson, Republican majority leader. Representative Luce, Republican, Massachusetts, had answered in a speech charges by another Republican, Chairman McFadden of the House Banking Committee, that Meyer was closely connected with international banking interests. After the Luce speech, Representa- tive Tilson of Connecticut said the President telephoned to ask what mem- ~ect Sad thought of McFadden’s state- ments. ‘The President was told the reaction had been “unfavorable” and the time chosen “inopportune,” Tilson said. Luce asserted McFadden did not speak for the membership of the Bank- ing Committee. “I would further emphasize the time he chose for making the speech,” he declared. “For some days it has been known that the market was in a perilous condition. Yesterday stocks fell so that millions and millions of value disappeared. Right in the midst of this boiling market the chairman takes the floor and adds further to the anxiety, the alarm, the distress of the millions of our people.” DIVORCE TALK DENIED BY MRS. GOLDSBOROUGH ‘Widow of Mrs. Grayson’s Pilot on II1 Fated Hop Testifies in $8,500 Suit. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 18.—Mrs. Gertrude J. Goldsborough, whose hus- band, Brice Goldshorough, lost his life with Mrs. Frances Grayson in an at- tempted transatlantic flight in Decem- ber, 1927, denied on the witness stand yesterday that she had ever talked divorce with William Pitt Mason, jr., lawyer, whom she is suing for $8,500. She claims the money is part of the fiyer's life insurance, while Mason con- tends the money is due him for legal services in obtaining $30,000 of the aviator’s life insurance. Mrs. Goldsborough admitted she had called at the lawyer's offices late in 1926 and 1927 to discuss her husband's “jrregularities,” but she regarded these talks with Mason as “discussions be- tween friends.” He was an old friend of the family, she said, and she did not consider his advice to her as legal services. s S S CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

DECEMBER 18, 1630. WAR MADE BRIAND ADVOCATE OF PEACE Tells, in Address, of Vow After Being Shocked by Awfulness of Great Conflict. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, December 18.—Aristide Bri- and, the veteran French foreign min- ister, who lately has been charged with weakening the foreign policy of France, told last night why he was a man of peace. The elderly statesman, speaking at & dinner given in his honor by the com- mercial, industrial and agricultural or- ization, with Premier Theodore Steeg presiding, added that he would pursue unflinchingly his work for in- ternational harmony. During the great war, he said, he had been so shocked by its greatness and awfulness he registered a vow that if his country emerged safely he would consecrate his life to the end that war should never come again. “And_the great majority of the peo- ple of France are backing my policy,” he remarked. “When I go into a crowd I read in their eyes the message: ‘Per- severe—and don’t falter.’” Referring to the criticism that he talked too much of peace and not enough of France's security, the for- eign minister insisted he had always striven for suitable organization of the national defenses.
