DEATH OF WURZBACH DOOMS G. 0. P. POWER| Party Chief Believes Debt Holiday and Proposed Bsnkfng Laws Will Be Enacted. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. President Hoover is expe-t:d to call| upon Congress to put aside partisan | politics and to legislate for th> benefit of the whole country in the economic crisis that exists, when that body meets | December 7. ‘The President is expected to take such & step particularly in view of the fact that the Republican party has lost even a paper majority in the House of Repre- sentatives and that the organization of the House control of legislation will be in the hands of the Democrats in that There must, be some_messure of co- operation between the Congress and the President if legislation needed by the country is to be put through at the coming session. A “coalition govern- ment,” in the meaning of ths term in Great Britain, seems neither likely nor possible here. 1t is not likely the President would attempt to form such a government o that the Demccrats would accept such & proposal. Within a few mon! both the political parties will be herd at it, seeking to win a national election. Hoover Asked for Proposals. The sudden death of Representative ‘Wurzbach of the fourteenth Texas dis- trict last night, unless it is offset by the death of a Democrzt before Congress meets, seems to assure a Democratic majority in the House. Furthermore, i* would appear that the chances electing & Republican in Wurzbacl p'-ce cre not bright, even when a spe- cin! e'zction is held.

The President must be willing to co-operate with the Demo- | crats.

The rate established was 25 cents for the first two miles or fraction and 5 cents for each third of a mile after the first two miles. Cabs now operating are ordered not | to change their rates between now and | January 10 except that they may change | to the new meter rate on notice to the commission at any time before the date set. The order further provides that no extra charge shall be made for the car- riage of more than one passenger. The charge for waiting time is made op- tional with the cab cperator, but in no | case must it exceed 10 cents per 5 | minutes. In no case may a charge for | waiting time be made for a wait less than 5 minutes. | May End Rental System. | Apparently the order also contem- | plates an end,of the rental system of | taxicab operation, since one section reads: | “No motor vehicle shall be operated | as a taxicab except by the proprietor | thereof or by a driver employed by the | proprietor and responsible to the said | proprietor.” | " The order is expected to encounter legal difficulties when an effort is made to enforce it. similar to those which have always hampered the commission in its ventures into taxi regulations in | the past. The orders of the Utilities Commission do not have the force of police regulations. That is to say, those who offend against them are not sub- ject to arrest. The public utilities act provides a | schedule of penalties for violation of | various orders of the commission, and | when the commission is satisfied that a violation has taken place it is limited to suing the offender in court to re- cover the penalty.

The presidential inquiry into the Navy League’s denunciation of the adminis- tration’s naval policy wzs nearing a climex today, with indications that a report might be made to President Hoover late this afternoon. ‘The special committee appointed to weigh the accuracy of statements in William Howard Gardiner’s printed at- tack on President Hocver resumed its deliberdtions this afternoon at the ex- clusive Metropolitan Club. It was evident to observers that the committee was rusting its in tion toward an early c<nclusion. Much was accomplished at the meeting yesterday afterncon and at the long session last night in the home of Undersecretary of State Castle, a member of the group. Hammond Presiding. Meanwhile all was quiet at the head- quarters of the Navy League, whose Executive Committee y rallied to the defense of Gardiner, the league’s president. It was said at the league’s offices that no request had been re- ceived for the appearance of Gardiner fer other officials before the President’s board of inquiry. John Hays Hammond, chairman of the Investigating Committee, presided at the meeting this afternoon. Ham- mond apparently has limited the in- quiry to an examination of official rec- ords which bear on disputed claims in Gardiner's pamphlet. The committee will not concern itself with Gardiner’s charge that President Hoover is ‘“abysm: ignorant” of naval matters. By direction of the President, the investigation is mmn{ fi‘;flyirme issue of facts related to naval airs. Issue of Magazine Requested.

Dr. Sze Renews Protest to League of ~ | Nations, Again Blaming Tokio—Briand Calls Council to Meet at Paris Nov. 16. By the Associated Press. The Communist party, international, representing Cdmmunist parties in all nations, and closely allied with the Soviet government, issued an appeal through its Executive Committee in Moscow askin; its members to support the “Chinese proletariat” against Japan an warning Japan that war against China would be “a step toward war against Soviet Russia.” Japanese forces crushed Chinese troops in their third day of battle on the north side of the Nonni River today and the army of Chinese Gen. Mah Chan-Shan was retreating in disorder toward Anganchi, said dispatches to Tokio. Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese delegate, in two notes to the League of Nations, blamed the fighting on the Japanese whom he said had been “actively provoking” clashes about the Nonni River Brid for the past few days. At least 120 Chinese soldiers were killed, accord- ing to his figures. Other re{;om %ut the figure higher. The Japanese version of the battle as contained in a dispatch to the London Daily Mail accused Gen. Mah of making the first at- tack after hoisting a white flag of truce. Some 15 Japanese were killed, it was said, and many were wounded. hd Aristide Briand called a meeting of the League Council in Paris on November 16 to attempt to prevent what was considered imminent danger of war. Premier Laval is expected to lend his assistance. A dispatch fr6m Shanghai said Gen. Mah had retreated into the walled city of Tsitsihar and that he would resign as acting governor of the Liun Kiang Province in favor of Gen. Chan Hai Peng. i Ambassador Debuchi of J::gan called today at the State Depart- ment and informed the American Government that the Japanese government will withdraw troops across the River Nonni as soon as the damaged bridges were repaired, an operation which is likely to last only 10 to 12 days.
