BORAW'S REFUSAL 10 BACK HOOVER STIRS POLITICIANS Senator’s Rejection of Re- publican Platform Comes as Bombshell. By the Associated Press. A furore of pelitical questioning rang out today in the wake of Senator Borah's dramatic announcement that President Hoover will not have his sup- | port for re-election if he stands on the | Republican ccnvention’s platform. Before a Senate chamber tense in ex- pectation of an extraordinary pro- nouncement from the Idahoan, this leading dry spokesman yesterday de- nounced the prohibition resubmission plank, rejected the entire platform as inadequate and unresponsive to the de- | he would support the President on that | platform, delivered his bombshell: | “T will not.” | ‘The importance of the utterance lay in that Borah's driving campaign for | Hoover in 1928 has been regarded as | one of the greatest individual contribu- | tions to the President’s election.

Invitation to Personal Platform. | "Yet, in the belief of many, the Sena- | tor's utterance yesterday bore an un- spoken invitation to the President to write his own platform, with a strong personal prohibition stand, in the ad- | dress_accepting the nomination which Mr. Hoover is to deliver later in the Summer. Newspaper men who sought more ex- | plicit statements after the Senate speech drew information that Borah had no movement.

CHICAGO, June 21.—An effort will be made to get the “field” op- posing Gov. Roosevelt of New York for the Democratic presidential nomination into a conference here Friday te determine on a candi- date whom the Roosevelt opposi- tion can center on, it was learned today.

Chairman Raskch, who rolled into Chicago early.today to take charge of the national headquarters, in his first interview with the press declared: ‘That prohibition is the most impor- tant issue in the coming campaign, so- cially and economically. ‘That the Democrats in convention will decide on their prohibition plank and that it will not be settled by a small group in a smoke-filled room.

Elaborating on these propositions, Mr. Raskob declared that to do cther than elect Mr. Shouse permanent chairman of the national convention would be to) lose respect for the Democratic Na- tional Committee and the Subcommittee on Arrangements for the convention.

Pins Hope in Program. Notwithstanding the fact that James M. Farley, fleld marshal of the Roose- velt forces, has repeatedly stated that they would not permit the election of Shouse, alleging that Shouse and Raskob have been inimical to the cause of Roosevelt and his candidacy, and that Senator Thomas J. Walsh ' would be elected permanent chairman, Mr. Raskcb insisted that Farley had given no inti- mation to him personally that an effort to set aside the recommendations of the Committee on Arrangements, entered into with the consent of the Roosevelt pecple. “I believe that the program of the " (Continued on Page 5, Column 2.)

By the Associated Press. TORONTO, Ontario, June 21—Dr. Forde E. MacLoughlin of Hamilton, Ontario, has set disease to music and called it “Influenza—a Tone Poem.” He believes he is the first person, liv- ing or dead, to see a cadenza in a cough, a trill in a chill or a fortissimo in a fever. He has composed “Influenza —a ‘Tone Poem” in spare moments dur- uEn his regular profession as a physi- cian. Dr. MacLoughlin’s music, in manu- lcr;gt‘ is one of the exhibits in the “hobby display,” a feature of the Cana- dian Medical Association’s sixty-third ready is under way, for since early in June loadings over the Missouri-Kan- sas-Texas have been showing an en- couraging gain over previous months. ‘While the average increase since June 6 has been only about 200 cars a day, it is significant because at this time last year the trend was downward.” Gross revenues of the Missouri-Kan- sas-Texas for the first five months of this year, Mr. Cahill said, showed a decrease of something less than $3,000,- 000 from the first five months of last year. He reiterated that the road would earn its fixed this year, annual meeting, which went into its second session today. Other exhibits of hobbies by doctors include several oil paintings by Dr. F. G. Banting, widely known for his in- sulin serum, and woodcarvings, etchings, stamp collections and cartoons by other members of the medical profession. Dr. MacLoughlin’s “Influenza,” though described as a tone poem, is in sym. phonic form. The four parts of the work, as described by the doctor-com- poser, are: First movement—Preliminary N + ot Second movement—Onset of the dis- ease. Third movement—The disease. Fourth movement—Convalescence. In the first movement the doctor uses clarinets in swift crescendo runs to in- troduce what might be called the “chills running up the spine motif.” With marked originality, Dr. MacLoughlin employs & Jew's harp in the second movement to give the piece a headache, and he introduces another influenza tym&wm—pemlnuon—by adroit use of clarinets, strings and oboes. This “onset of the disease” movement melts (via the perspiration motif) into | the third movement, in which the doc- tor really lets himself go. This is where influenza actually arrives. A brilliant “delirium crescendo,” as the doctor calls it, brings the third movement to a close. ‘The finale—“convalescence”—is state- 1y and noble, depicting the patient a bit ‘wobbly and but glad to be alive. Other doctors at the convention have evinced marked interest in “Influenza— Tone Poem,” and have suggested that the Hamilton physician should pursue this hobby even further. Among sug- gestions for other selections are “Frac- tured Skull Fox Trot” and “The Fallen Arches Blues.” STUDY WILL BLOCK - FIVEMAPESBILLS \Bureau of Efficiency Unable | to Complete Report for Present Session. There will be no enactment during the present session of Congress of the bloc of five Mapes Committee bills pro- posing additional t2xes on residents of | the District of Columbia. This became an assured fact today | when Herbert D. Brown, chief of the ‘Burelu of Efficiency, to which the bill | had been referred, informed the Senate District Committee it would require “at least a month” to analyze the last of the bills calling for repeal of the inop- erative law fixing a 60-40 ratio for | Federal contribution to District ex- | penses. Longer Any Chance. Senator Capper, éhairman of the Dis- trict Committee, previously had an- nounced that his committee would not | act on the bills except as a group. Now that Brown is unable to report on the fiscal relations bill before Congress re- cesses for the Summer, which may be within a week, there is no longer any | chance of the five bills being reported | at this session. Senator Capper was informed that basis of taxation for public utility cor- | porations has been completed and would i?gdsuhmmfid to the committee probably | today. | With respect to the other bills, the reports are in the committee’s hands. Mr. Brown's letter recalled the siudy | committee of the House in which was | recommended a Federal contribution of more than $10,000,000 toward municipal | expenses, fixed as the sum of two items, namely, the amount of the Govern- ment’s liability as if it were an ordinary > | municipal taxpayer, plus the amount of | its liability on account of the fact that . | Washington is the National Capital. Will Require Month. “At the time this report was sub- I mitted, the major portion of the tax |revenues of the District was derived !from real and personal property,” | Brown wrote. The bureau’s study of the bill has been delayed awaiting completion of the report on the other measures. He explained, “The question of fiscal re- lations between the Federal Govern- ment and the District of Columbia is so complicated and involved that its further consideration by the bureau, us- ing careful study to the affect the pending changes in the tax laws will have on this problem, will require at least a month.” {CONFEREES ON ARMY BILL ARE DEADLOCKED Split Comes on Provision by House to Eliminate 2,000 Officers.

SAVING OF $100,000,000 PLACED AT 8.3 PER CENT Measure Designed to Apply Only to Fiscal Year Beginning July 1. Final action in the Senate was ex- pected today on the new payiess furlough plan for Federal and District govern- ment emplcyes. With leaders predicting its early ap- proval, the Senate conferees on the general economy bftl—estimated now to effect saving of approximately $150,000,- 000 toward balancing the budget—met early in the day to consider the revised furlough plan, which was rushed through the Hcuse late yesterday with overwhelming support. As chairman of the conferees, Senator Jones, Republi- ican, of Washington, was determined to carliest opportunity, confident the Sen- ate would agree readily to the pay cut items written into the furlough plan. The House formally repcrted to the Senate shortly before noon the result of its action, thus paving the way for final approval. Changes Necessitate Action. ‘The House amended the Senate plan to exempt employes receiving less than $1,000 a year. The Senate voted to exempt employes receiving less than $1,200. This modification necessitates the Senate ccncurrence. Jones predicted the badly battered economy bill soon would be on its way to the White House for signature by President Hoover. The payless furlough section, esti- |mated to save $100,000,000, as con- trasted with the straight pay cut de- 8.3 per cent salary cut for all Federal {and District employes receiving $1,000 or more per annum, with a graduated cut on salaries starting at $10,000. “In the last analysis.” said Represent- in the Hcuse, “this is a pay cut in the disguise of a furlough.” Saves $20,000,000 More. As originally written into the bill by the Senate, the furlough plan would | have accounted for a saving of $80,- 000,000. The new plan, therefore, saves an additional $20,000,000. Senator Moses, Republican, of New Hamp- shire, who sponsored payless furloughs in the Senate, was among the first to predict its early acceptance of the measure. Should the Senate, for some conference report as amended, the mat- | ter would be placed in the hands of the conferess for the two houses again. This course, however, was not antici- pated. The vote by which the new furlough plan was adopted in the House—326 to 45—indicates the almost complete col- ! lapse of all opposition and a rush of Democrats to give their support to what originally was termed an administration economy plan applying the principle of the five-day week to the Government. Mr. McDuffie, chairman of the House conferees, first wrote into the plan a graduated pay-cut scale for those who | might be exemnted from furloughs be- cause their services were considered “indispensable.” h ‘To such workers, drawing between $1,000 and $10.000, a salary slash of 8.3 per cent will apply; between $10,000 and $12,000, & 10 per cent cut; between $12,000 and $15,000, a 12 per cent cut; between $15,000 and $20,000, a 15 per cent cut; while all salaries over $20,000 will be slashed 20 per cent. Effective Next July 1. Put forward as an emergency eco- nomic measure, the payless furloughs apply only to this coming fiscal year, beginning July 1. Explaining the effect on general an- nual leaves, about which some misap- prehension had arisen, Senator Jones said: “There will be no annual leaves with pay this coming fiscal year of 1933 Beginning with the 1934 fiscal year, however, there will be 15 days annual leave with pay for all employes. ‘The furlough itself is for one calendar month, or 24 working days, with Sat- urday counted as a half day. Senator Bratton, Democrat, of New DEMANDS FREEDOM FOR NAZI TROOPS Hitler, Infuriated by Parade Ban in Bavaria, Gives Von Gayle Ultimatum. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 21.—A flat demand for complete freedom for his uniformed Na- tional Socialist groups throughcut the whole of Germany was made today by Adolf Hitler, Nazi leader, upon Baron Wilhelm von Gayl, minister of interior. Hitler, who appeared before Baron von Gayl accompanied by three of his chief lieutenants, was infuriated over the action of Bavarian police at Munich Sunday in preventing a uniformed pa- rade of his Naz followers. Baron’s Position Difficult. As a result cf the demand, the baron, as minister charged with safeguarding the constitution of the Reich, has been placed in a difficult position. On the one hand, the government of Chancellor von Papen rests upon the support given it by Hitler, whose price, however, was the raising of the ban on uniforms and the dissolution of the Reichstag. States Maintain Order. On the other hand, the constitution delegates responsibility for maintaining | O] peace and order to the states and their police. It is an open question whether, when state government or local police consider the peace endangered by the wearing of uniforms, the national gov- ernment has the power to override the local authorities.

ARMS SLASH MUST PRECEDE DEBT CUT, U.S. WARNS EUROPE Gibson Tells Herriot America Will Not Act Unless Out- lay Is Reduced. DELEGATES TO GENEVA ALSO SEE MACDONALD 1 Authority to Commit Government to Any Policy Abroad Is Denied Here. By the Astociated Press. | LAUSANNE, Switzerland, June 21.— | Hugh S. Gibson, head of the American delegation to the Disarmament Con- ference, hurried up from Geneva this afternoon and talked for half an hour with Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald and Sir John Stmon, the Brit- ish foreign minister. He came with Norman H' Davis, an- other member of the American delega- tion, at a time when reports were cir- culating through Lausanne that the United States was ready to participate in cancellation of the war debts if Eu- rope would cut down its outlay for i armaments. When they started back for Geneva with Sir John, Mr. Davis said the talk with the British representatives had not gone into the debts issue and his visit with Mr. Gibson “does not mean that we have entered the financial field.” Speculation Encouraged. But their presence here encouraged speculation, particularly in view of a midnight conference last night at Morges, attended by Mr. Gibson, Premier Herriot of France and Joseph Paul-Boncour, Mr. Herriot's cabinet associate. At that meeting Mr. Gibson told the premier America could not be expected to listen to any request for debt can- cellation while Europe went on spend- ing enough money for arms every year to meet the service on the debts. Reports of the conference here had it that Mr. Gibson had agreed to cancel- lation if the arms budget were cut. The reports, not entirely in line with the facts, coincided meanwhile with an un- usual stir of activity among the more prominent delegates to the conference on war debts and reparations. M. Herriot was up early this moming and immediately entered a conference with Prime Minister MacDonald. Sees U. S. Reversal. here professed to see in the new developments a complete reversal of the American standpoint that there was no connection between war debts and disarmament, and consequently be- tween the Lausanne and Geneva - ferences. They hailed the Gibson-Her- riot interview as linking the United States definitely with reparations prob- le ms. This morning both Prime Minister MacDonald and Premier Herriot de- clined to comment on the new develop- ment after they had talked together more than an hour. “I'm not the messiah of Europe” sald M.

They met at Morges, a little town half way between here and Lausanne, and talked until past midnight.
