French Co-operation Needed. Although the British and the Amer- fcan governments are not in sympathy with the Prench understanding of the | naval question, it apbears necessary, if we want to make the London naval pact accomplished fact, to get France in at_almost any price The American Government is not much interested in what actual tonnage the Prench have: whether it is five or six hundred thousand tons, is a matter of complete indifference to us; our sole interest lies in the fact that the French should put in the blank cclumns of the treaty a tonnage that would be satis- factory to the other signatories and especially to Britain and Ttaly. The ich 640,000 tons figure because the Italians, demanding parity, would have insisted on the same figure in their blank column, thus endangering the British two-power standard. It appears, however. that now the British no longer object to the Prench figure, realising that they cannot pre- vent the French from bullding what they want.

LONDON, October 30.—Action by the National government on the question of a protectionist tariff policy for Great Britain is likely to be delayed until after New Year, it was indicated today, while a special committee of the cabinet makes a thorough study of the entire economic and political situation. The prospect of possible “dumping’ of forelgn goods in tRe interim was foreseen, however, it was said in politi- cal circles, and lhel’z is a possibility some kind of emergeficy legislation to act as a check on heavy imports may be proposed soon after Parliament meets November 10.

Snowden May Become Peer. The principal place to be filled is the chancellery of the exchequer, from which Philip Snowden will retire, prob- ably to accept a peerage and to take his place in the House of Lords. Neville Chamberlain, Ccnservative and minister of health in the present cabinet, is looked upon as the most probable successor to Mr. Snowden. It was considered likely, however, that Snowden would continue as a member of the cabinet in ancther pcst where his advice and counsel would be avail- | able in the tasks aheaa As a member of the House of Lords precedent forbids his continuation in the exchequer post. even if his frail health would permit it.

The truth of the matter is that Cin-{ cinnati is all wrought up over its ca paign for the election of the City Coun- cll. At present the charter group has control of the Council, with six out of the nine members. The Republican organization has the other three. Of the six charteg group councilors three are independent Republicans and three | are Democrats. The Replblican or- ganization is hoping to elect at least four members of the Council at the coming election. All the noise is about the City Council and little is heard about the congressional election. The formation of the charter group has its roots back in the days of George B Cox, Republican machine boss of un- sainted memory. The charter group or fusion has had control of the city gov- ernment for six years, come this Janu- ary. It has done a grand job for Cin- cinnati, it is admitted generally. The one particular argument which the Re- publican organization is making against it today is that it has raised taxes to meet the expenses of the improvements made in the city streets and elsewhere. and that the assessments may be still further increased. Because they are going about the | campaigning job quietly does not mean | that Hollister and Lgrbach are not anxious to win. This is Hollister’s first essay into the field of politics, unless | his election to the School Board for a number cf years can be considered poli- tics. He comes, however, of a family that has served the city and State in ublic office with distinction. His father was a county judge and later United States judge in ‘Cincinnati. His | great-grandfather was a prosecuting attorney of Hamilton County, which in- cludes Cincinnati, a hundred years ago. Hollister served as ‘a captain of artil lery in the World War and went over- Seas. Republican Drafted. The Republican candidate for Con- gress had no intention of entering the race. He was really drafted by his| friends, one of whom, Hulbert Taft, editor of the Cincinnati Times-Star and son of the late Charles P. Taft, was prominent in bringing him forward. He was picked because he was popular and had made a record for himself at the bar as well as in the war. He also had the advantage of having not been prominently identified either with the Republican organization or the Charter group, and, beyond this, he is a law partner of Robert Taft and Charles Taft, sons of the late Chief Justice and President of the United States. It hap- pens that Robert Taft, a State Senator, has been preminent in the Republican organization and is at present chairman | of the Executive Committee here, while Charles Taft is an ardent member of the Charter group, and at one time was prosecuting attorney, elected as an anti- organization candidate. Certainly Mr. Hollister has strong friends on both sides of the Republican row here. Both the Taft brothers are supporting him for Congress. David Lorbach is a newcomer, too, in politics. Last year he leaped into the limelight by winning election as State Senator in a Republican district and running far ahead of his ticket here. Like Hollister, Lorbach is a lawyer, and cne of his partners is Alfred G. Allen, formerly a Democratic member of the House from the second Ohio district, which takes in all that part of Cin- cinnati not included in the first district. He is a graduate of the Harvard Law School, the same school from whjch Hollister graduated. _Hollister too four-year course at Yale before going o the law school. The Republican candidate for Con- gress is regarded as a “silk stocking,” an aristrocrat, like the late Speaker Longworth. His district is used to voting for such a candidate, however, and Hollister has the advantage of be- ing & member of the American Legio: Although he is only 40 years old he has made great strides in the practice in his profession. Bribe Charge Recalled. Although _personalities have been kept out of the congressional campaign, it is said here that Lorbach did not help himself by a charge he made, while serving as chairman of a legisia- tive committee investigating the high- way department, to the eflect he had been offered a bribe of $250,000 to ease up on the inquiry. He mentioned the name of Clyde J. Knisely, a former em- ploye of the highway department as the man who approached him. So far Lorbach has not produced proof of the | charge whichy he made last Summer and Knisely Nas filed suit against him for $50.000 for slander. More recently still George Remus,| known one time as the bootleg king in these parts, has brought suit against Lorbach and Leonard Garver, a law partner, for $150.000 alleging that they divided up with Remus' wife money re- ceived from the sale of property owned by him while he was in jail. Remus killed his wife several years ago, when he finished his sentence for bootlegging, was acquitted on the ground of insanity and then declared to be sane. His charge against Lorbach is not taken seriously here. The Democratic candi- date for Congress has suggested that the Remus suit, coming at this time, is a low-down Republican trick. There is a third candidate for the Longworth seat in the House, Robert A Duderstadt. running as a Progressive Mr. Duderstadt, said to be well over 70 years old, was at one time a college professor. He has radical and com- munistic ideas, and will get the radical vote.

Soon after her dis- tinguished husband’s death Mrs. Long- worth was suggested by some Republi- cans as the logical successor of Mr. Longworth in the House.

ASSESSMENT OF REALTY GAINS $15,529,330 Increase Shown Over 1931 Despite Big U. S. Purchase. Although condemnation of property by the Federal Government has re- moved about $15,000,000 worth of tax- able realty during the past three years, the District’s total assessment of real estate has increased, according to Tax Assessor William P. Richards. The total of taxable real estate for 1932 showed an increase of $15,529,330 over the total in 1931. The total as sessable realty for the current fisca vear is $1,226,691,948, as compared with @ total of $1,211,162,618 in the fiscal year of 1931. Tax Rate Low. The District tax rate of $1.70 for $100 assessed valuation is lower than that in other large cities, according to Mr. Rich- ards, principally because the District pays its bills as it goes, having no bond- ed indebtedness. For comparative pur- poses he exhibited a statement to the The air currents over the America Must Quit W g and Work, Silas Strawn Says By the Associated Pre: DECATUR, Il What America needs to do, in the opinion of Silas Strawn, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, is to “quit whining about the’ depres. sion and get down to busines He expressed himself in an ad- dress before business and trans- portation men last night.

He said that in his opinion it would be ruinous for the District to borrow money on bond issues for any purposes. “It'is always easy to borrow,” he said, “but in spite of sinking funds, cities very seldom pay their debts off. In- stead, they keep on borrowing until financial ruin stares them in the face.” | SHOOTI NG STARS DUE Unusual Display in Heavens Ex-| pected From Nov. 14 to 17.

Fisher of the Harvard College Observa- | tory. . Br. Fisher said history shows them to be known since the year 902 A.D., and that they recur fairly regularly at intervals of 33 years. real job cut out for him. Mr. Long- worth carried the district last year by only 3,500 votes. In 1928, however, he won by 31,000 votes and in 1926 by 18,000, It is estimated by the Demo- crats that the district is normally Re- publican by aboht 18,000 votes. This is a big majority to overcome. Mr. Long- | worth did not satisfy many of the Cin- cinnati voters because he declined Lo make public statements, while he was Speaker, against the eighteenth amend- | ment. ‘This, plus the depression, is | said to have lost him a lot of votes last | year. | YeThe depression and consequent un- employment _are worrying the Republic- ans now. They have not been able to figure just how far these factors will | turn the voters against dHollister in the | election. The depression is the big fac- tor on which Lorbach is basing his hope of election. Impartial cbservers here say that Hollister looks to be the winner, by a comparatively narrow margin, though in some quarters it is predicted he will win by as many as 10,000 votes. If he wins by half that number he and the rest of the Republicans will heave & great sigh of relief. In his speeches Hollister has defend- ed the Hoover administration and the tariff, has urged the need of sending a Republican to sit in the House at a time when one is neededg to give the G. O. P. a majority in that body. Lor- bach, ori the other hand. has attacked the administration as inept and has de- manded a downward revision of the tariff, lopping off a flat 25 per cent of the duties. He sets great store in a statement made two weeks ago by Wil- liam Cooper Proctor, one of Cincinnati’s leading industrialists and Republicans, in which Mr. Proctor demanded a re- duction of the tariff duties as an aid to American business and revision of the war debts. ¢ authorities, is was said, quickly sup- pressed it.

Mrs. Judd left the Los Angeles County | Jail at 9:45 o'clock last night in cus- | tody of Sheriff J. R. McFadden of Marl- | copa County, Ariz.; County Attorney ! Lloyd Andrews and Mrs. Lon Jordan, | jail matron of Phocnix. On advice of her attorney, Paul Schenck, Mrs. Judd abandoned her fight against extradition and the Superior | Court here evacuated a writ of habeas | Corpus clearing the way for her return | from this city, to which she shipped the bodies of the victims in trunks. Following the automobile in which Mrs. Judd left the county jail were two other cars, one containing Los Angeles County officers and the other containing | Dr. Williac C. Judd of Santa Monica, Czlif,, husband of the confessed slayer, | and newspaper men. | Coincident with Mrs. Judd's removal | from the county jail, policz officers re- | leased Fred Williams of El Paso, Tex., | who “confessed” that he aided Mrs. Judd in the killing of the two women, Police said his story was untrue and ordered him to leave the city. Willlams promised to do that. The name of J. J. Halloran, wealthy Phoenix lumberman, again was brought into the case yesterday in a letter Bur- ton J. McKinnell, university law stu- dent, wrote his sister, Mrs. Judd. In part the letter stated: “* * * | T wish ito speak to you in the matter | of attorneys. Mr. Anderson (Leroi | Anderson) is one of the outstanding criminal lawyers in Phoenix I am told. He has never failed to free his man. He knows every judge personally. i he is a prominent clubman | at Phoenix. He knows Halloran per- | sonally. He knows every farmer around Phoenix. We must have prominent Arizona attorneys who exercise political | power.” Halloran was first brought into the case when Phoenix authorities learned he attended a party with Mrs. Judd, Miss Samuelson and Mrs. Le Roi the | night before the women were slain and | their bodies sent to Los Angeles in | trunks. Mrs. Judd declared, after her arrest, that Halloran “knows all apout it.” Halloran denied all implications. {WIGGIN ANTIéIPATES SUBSTANTIAL GAIN IN TRADE CONDITIONS (Continued From First Page.) | nomic life, which he said represented | his-views.
