JAPANESE TARIFF EXPECTED T0 PASS Measure Proposed by Inukai Regime to Be Offered by New Cabinet. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, May 24—Government offi- clals said today they expected the tariff increase bill, which was prepared for presentation to the Diet by the govern- ment, of the late Premier Inukai, prob- | ably would be introduced \\'ithout; change by the new cabinet when the Parliament reconvenes within a few | days. The bill was not presented )e:terday because the Diet adjourned to await the | completion of the new cabinet which Admiral Saito was commissioned to form by Emperor Hirohito last Sunday. Officials said Korekiyo Takahashi, finance minister of the Inukai cabinet, probably would hold over into the new government and the bill would go for- ward as if nothing had happened. Its passage, they said, was considered as- | sured. 35 Per Cent Increase. ‘The bill provides for a 35 per cent in- | crease in all specific duties to offset the | 1oss of revenue due to the depreciation of the yen. It also provides for various other raises, extended over 40 categories of articles. | The American interests chiefly af- fected are tbe automobile assembly plants of the Ford Motor Co. at Yoko- hama and the General Motors Co. at Osaka because of higher duties on mo- tors and other parts. The Corn Products Co. which is building s big plant at Heijo, also is | hit by an increase in the duty on corn of over 500 per cent. American lum- ber interests also are affected by duties which are raised to an average of 50 per cent in the new bill. | Boosts Duty on Wheat. | ‘The bill also increases the duty on wheat from 1 yen 50 sen (about 45| cenLu per 100 kin (about 133 pounds) | t0 2 yen 50 sen per 100 kin. The United Hats fonires only about 7.4 per cent | of Japan's wheat supply. although this amounts to 20,000,000 bushels | The Amer: embassy staff has es- timated. however, that the wheat in- crease is not likely to affect greatly the American imports, since it i im- | possible to reduce appreciably the pres- ent amount. The finance ministry has estimated that the bili will yield 16.000,000 yen (about $5,500,000) ~additional revenue in the present flsca) year. RIVAL ASKS HOOVER TO CONCEDE HIm 231 Dr. France Charges Late Filing in Maryland Caught Him | Off Guard. i By the Associated Press. Joseph 1. France, Former Maryland Senator and a candidate for the Re- | publican presidental nominee has | formally called upon President Hoover to admit the Marylander has 231 pledged delezates to the party’s Nation- al Convention. In an open letter to the Chief Execu- the France, asked: “If you had lost in the presidential preference primary in Maryland, as you have lost by defeat or your failure to file as a cand e in the olher ctates having presidential primary laws, would | you have claimed the delegates as you are now claiming, if Teporis are cor- rect, the delegates from North Dakota, | Illinois, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and Oregon?” France charged he was “caught off guard” by Mr. Hoover's late filing of | his candidacy in the Maryland primary, | but . asked if the President conceded the 231 delegates “which I won over | you as I concede you the 19 votes from Maryland.’ A duck is starred in & talkie being produced in England. | THE EVENING Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. “Yeomen of the Guard” Given by Civic Opera Co. HE Washington Civic Opera Co., Inc., presented one of the unfamillar and seldom heard Gilbert and Sullivan light operas, he Yeomen of the Guard,” last night at the McKinley Auditorium. The per- formance was the first of seven to be given this week, and the presen tation was well re- ceived by the audience. J. Humbird Duffey, well known in Wash- ington, staged the production with unusual effectiveness. The setting was &n authentic re- production of the original Sa- voy Theater set- ting and madea realistic “Tower Green,” where the action of the opera takes place. The choruses were composed of young, fresh voices and the ensemble work was clean and clear, though occasionally a bit careless as to pitch. They were well costumed and better looking than many profes- sional companies. Alfred Manning conducted and had the assistance of a small and capable orchestra. The principals of this new com- pany are endowed with good voices and sing with zest, though with few exceptions their enunciation could be improved upon. Jesse Veitch, tenor, who sang the role of Col. Fairfax, has a voice of much sweet- ness, but he was permitted to slip into falsetto. Esther Melick Ingram, soprano, was & pretty and appeal- ing Elsie Maynard and showed a voice of tremendous power and real histrionic ability. Ira Philip Meyer, as the strolling jester, did some clever acting, though his speed in his speeches and his songs lost many of the words to his audience. Melville Veltch, as Wil- fred Shadbolt, head jailor and assis- tant tormentor, was equally clever Alma Bishop ORIGINATORS OF THE BUDGET BUYING PLAN IN WASHINGTON | in his acting, while Alma Harris, as Phoebe Meryll, was a piquant young flirt. Others who took leading roles were Harry Crow, jr.; Elliott Button, Raymond Baine, James Bussey, Howard Severe, 8. Pisciotta, Jack Hammett, Alma Bishop and Ma- cine de Silva. The members of the chorus included: Al Fivaz, Arthur Lowe, Walter Snellings, James Peat, John Lowe, Howard Severe, George Hawse, Edwin Ludwig, Lloyd Towmhend Carl Horn, Ed- mund Simonton, Sidney Dwight, Jefferson Dufley, Harry Yeide, David McDonnell, David Lanza, William Dulin, Carl Weishaupt, John Dulin, Lois_Antinarelli, Louise Blodget, Helen Bache, Lucy Cha- conas, Louise Carrcll. Cristina Da- vidos, ne Woltz, Lenora Fague, Oba Jan Gibson, Margaret Horn, Christine Irish, Helen Mark, Ella Neuiand, Nina Norman, Evelyn Perry, Elizabeth Thornberry Mar- garet Vogt, Virginia Weedon and Pauline Yurdin. ‘The company is managed by R. R. Edwards, secretary of the organiza- tion, with Russell M. Arundel, presi- dent, and Melvin D. Hildreth, vice president and treasurer. The opera was given without hesitation or stumbling and proved a dellgh!ful evening’s entertainment. K. Hoffman-Hoskins Revue Wins Acclaim at National.

Sor HeRzoG - F Street at Qth Young man, you’re Refreshingly Frank Last summer, O. D. Ellsworth, of Waukee, Iowa, drove with his family to Estes Park, Colo- rado. Whenever they stopped for the night, they faced ques- tions that perplex most travel- ers: Which is the best hotel or cabin camp? Where is there a nice place to eat? He wrote us: “The thing appreciated most was the frank manner in which your attendants made recommenda- tions. It is hard to get reliable information from any one in asmaller town regarding these matters, people being reluctant to say that one place is better than another, Living in a small town myself, I ap- preciate their position.I found Conoco men’s information correct in every case.” It is hard for a Conoco man to recommend one place above another, for they are all fel- low townsmen and friends. But motorists traveling “he Conoco way” are the Conoco man’s friends, too, and they come first. You'll like Conoco Travel Bureau service.
