RENT PROBE HEAD TOBENAMED TODAY Oscar H. Brinkman Expected to Be Appointed to Take Charge of Inquiry. Oscar H. Brinkman, former clerk of the Senpte District Committee, is ex- pected to be named this afternoon to take charge of the Senate investigation of rents in the District of Columbia. ‘The special subcommittee of the Sen- ate District Committee, headed by Sen- ator Capper of Kansas, is to meet at 2:30 p.m. i The subcommittee will have the | mames of several other applicants for the job, but it is thought that because ©f Mr. Brinkman's long services as clerk of the committez and his special services for the Blaine Subcommittee on Insurance and Banking, he will be the unanimous choice of the subcommittee, Mr. Brinkman made an extensive study of real estate and securities for the Blaine subcommittee and later aided in drafting a series of bills cov- ering the sale of securities, foreclosures, T ition of the real estate brokers and the recording and release of deeds of trust, all of which have been passed by the Senate. The resolution under which the rent investigation is to be conducted was introduced by Chairman Capper at the request of the Senate District Commit- tee. It was referred to the Audit and Cogtrol Committee on account of the 85,1 appropriation called for. It was amended, cutting the $5,000 to $2,500, and then was approved by the Senate. It is not anticipated that the spe- clal subcommittee authorized to delve into the rental situation here will con- tinue in session, but at the meeting today the date for the next meeting robably will be announced, leaving Mr. nkman, or whoever may be placed in charge of the investigation to make a. study and be prepared to report to the subcommittee as soon as possible. ‘The subcommittee is directed by the resolution to make its report not later than December 15. o BORAH PARLEY PROPOSAL DENOUNCED BY RANKIN Mississippi Democrat Declares Same Proposition Sponsored by International Bankers. Representative Rankin, Democrat, of' Mississippl, today characterized as “the most astounding political devel of recent months” the proposal of Sen- ator Borah of Idaho for a world con- ference to consider war debts and other post-war problems. “This is the same proposition that has been pushed forward by certain in- ternational for the last few years,” Rankin said in a formal state- iment. “Tt was back of the Hoover mora- torium proposal last year, as was evi- denced by his request for the recreation of the old Debt-funding Commission, Shich could have but one possible func- | ! tion—that of reducing or cancelling these debts.” Rankin said the bankers wanted to cance! foreign debts to protect $16,000,- l THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON Rarley Delegates View Military Ceremony EARL OF BESSBOROUGH'S REGIMENT CELEBRATES SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

There is a general accord that Congress avolded enacting legislation that might under present conditions be labeled dangercus or obstructionist. Too Much Expected. “My personal view is that while the legislation has been safe and sound, the results will be disappointing, be- cause the public had been led to be- lieve the Government possesses the magic power of changing economic laws to convert an economic depression quickly into an era of prosperity. About all it can do in a situation like the present is to remove obstructions that stand in the way of business re- vival and reduce to a minimum the governmental factors that hamper in- dustry. “The fundamental trouble today, to my mind, is our enormous indebtedness. Individuals, business and financial insti- tutions, real estate, municipal, State and national institutions are under obligations that are smothering trade. Generally , the income of the Nation reached about $1,000,000,000 a week before the stock market crash. Of that, 25 per cent went to pay all ex- penses of government—local, State and natfonal; 20 to 15 per cent more to pay interest on the debts of individuals, partnerships and corporations. Thus nearly 40 per cent of the Nation's in- come was absorbed. “During inflation we did nat feel that. ‘We met the abnormal situation by con- tinually borrowing and spending. But it could not go on forever—this constant increass of debts and cost of govern- ment. “It is apparent, in my judgment, that before business revives there must be substantial reductions in existing in- debtedness. I realize that this means that the creditor class will have to face losses and the debtor class will gain thereby. Money inflation along sound s | lines may be necessary; in fact, & step in that direction was taken by the re- cent Congress in providing for a cur- d | rency expansion of $994,000,000. “There are two remedies that seem to me necessary. One is elimination of debts through liquidation, which is al- ready under way with many of the finan- cial institutions of the country. Un- fortunately this is a slow process and that is why there cannot be any speedy recovery from the depression. Sees Improvement. “The second step is to cut costs of government in line with present in- comes and values. I feel that because both these steps are being taken the situation is getting better. “The chief commendable development of the recent session of Congress is that for the first time since the depression, the executive and legislative depart- ments of the Government have realized that this depression is more than a temporary one; that the causes of it are dee'g;romd in the economic structure. “What must be accomplished, if pro rity is to be restored, is the re- vival of trade.” Senator Walsh gave an instance of luxuries in government. “The first thing that strikes the eye of the visitor to Washington,” he said, “is the enormous new Department of Ccmmerce Building, which cost $17,500,- 000. The sight of it brings home to the citizen the immense extent to which the business of Government was expanded, when he realizes that this huge struc- ture is necessary for one department of Government. It is a building 50 or 100 years head of its need.” The Senator's criticism is that the Department of Commerce, one finger of the Government, has grown o big tha it needs such s tremendous structure. ht, 1932, by North American News- (oo e Rulance. fae) UNION EMPLOYES’ TOPIC of the I Em- ‘Reasans National’ the Federation of Labor were to be discussed at a meeting st the Interstate Commission at 4:45 o'clock this after- uspices leading to withdrawal tion of Federal e V@ N b 100 U.

FACTORIES IN CANADA PERILED BY EMPIRE PARLEY __ (Continued From Pirst Page) advantage in supplying and servicing the steel demands of & population con- centrated 300 miles deep all along the border than has the United Kingdom, which, after an ocean haul, must work straight inland for 3,000 miles. It was understood the steel accord | was making further progress than any other of the major bargains before the conference. Th unofficial American view express- ed today was that while a possible agreement to grant freer entrance to British cotton textiles might cut in on the American trade, it was likely that women, particularly in Canada, accus- tomed as they are to New York styles and American magazine advertising, would be hard to win to British ments. On the question of lumber a possi- bility was seen that Douglas fir and timbers from Washington and Oregon might be discriminated against in fa- vor of that of British Columbia. Canada and other empire nations have shown a tremendous interest in the United Kingdom’s annual outside purchases of $36,000,000 worth of meat, $22,000,000 of which is represented by American lard. Pork and pork products constitute America’s chief meat exports to the United Kingdom. British trade figures show a preference for United S?‘A‘m bacon over Canads, but Danish and Irish bacon dominate the British market. Discuss Russian Dumping. This afternoon the British and Cana- dian delegations began discussion of Russian dumping, particularly with re- gard to lumber. Canadian interests contend the 10 per cent preference in the British mar- ket for Canadian Jumber is not sufficient to overcome Scandinavian competition, but they are more seriously concerned with the Russian product. Various reports of the trend of the discussion were circulating. One was that the British, while offering no con- crete plan to prevent dumping, ha given assurance of their intention to act. Another report was that the Brit- ish had declined to take any action. British headquarters said the latter version was without foundation. Meantime discussion concerning dairy products and meats was practically con- Cluded. The present preference on em- pire dairy products in the British mar- ket is about 10 per cefit. The domin- fons, it is understood, want that per- centage maintained 'as a minimum, with an increase to 15 per cent on cer- tain dairy products. ‘The proposal regarding meats, it was reported, is that Great Britain impose a tariff of 3 cents a pound on foreign meats, except those from Argentina; 1% cents a pound on Argentine meat, and admit empire meat duty free. Pruits, cereals and base metals are to be considered at subsequent conversa- tions among representatives of the dominions. —_— KANSAS WHEAT QUEEN BELABORS “DOGGONE FEDERAL .INTERFERENCE” (Continued From First Page.)

Mrs. Watkins asserted that 98 per cent of the farmers of the State are against the Farm Board. “The other 2 per cent” she said, “don’t know the board’s rottenness or they also would condemn it.” She then characterized the debenture | plan as “the ruination of the farmers | and of all lines of business.” “I left the harvest fields just to at- tend this hearing. At the time I re- celved the call to come here I was out shoveling wheat and saving $2 & day doing it. I've been biack with dirt from my work and I've had to take baths twice a day, but it doesn’t do much good. “I'm just a sample of the other peo- ple,” Mrs. Watkins went on, “Who are cursing the Farm Board on our streets and farms.

As chairman of the Senate Agricul- tural Committee, the Oregon Senator will head the investigating group. He said the first step toward the investiga- tion was put in motion by having Con- troller General McCarl's office conduct a further investigation of the activities of the board since its creation three years ago. He sald Controller General McCarl, at his request, today assigned two spe- cial investigators, one from Tennessee and one from Wisconsin, to make & check-up of all that the board has done to date. He said this survey will go into the most minute details of all the transactions of the board. Time Required Uncertain, Just how long the survey will take the Oregon Senator was unable to in- form the President.

TAX PROBE IN GOTHAM ENDS {No Grand Jury Action Asked on Incomes of Qflicials in Seabury Inquiry. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, July 27.—Federal agents were reported at the Federal Building |, today to have completed their investi- gations of the incomes of city officials named before the Hofstadter Legisla- tive City Investigating Committee and to have found nothing calling for Fed- eral grand jury action. The investigation dealt entirely with the question of whether proper Federal taxes had been paid on these incomes and had nothing to do with the sources of the incomes. Among others whose incomes were investigated as to tax payments were Mayor James J. Walker and former Sheriff Thomas M. Farley, who was re- moved by Gov. Roosevelt. Sherwood Probe Unfinished. Accounts of Russell T. Sherwood, who accarding to testimony handled many financial matters for Mayor Walker, and who is , were studied in a separate investigation, which has not been concluded. Mayor Walker, some of his close friends said last ht, waved aside nine prominent New Yorkers who want- ed to write a defense of his adminis- tration for him, and dictated himself every word of the document he is send- ing to Gov. Roosevelt. The mayor's friends also made known that: Walker consulted with his old It~ cal ally, “Al” Smith, at one time during g | the preparation of his reply to the re- moval charges arising from his ques- tioning by Samuel Seabury. He talked with John F. Curry, Tam- many leader, about the situation. During the weeks that he labored over the document upon Wwhich his ‘whole political future may depend, he had the constant help of the nine ad- mirers, who formed an unofficial ad- Deny All-Night Talk. Both Walker and Smith denied pub- lished reports they had conferred over the reply all of last night at Smith's Fifth avenue pent house. “I met the mayor in the hallway last night and we had a talk for five min- utes on purely personal matters,” the former Governor said. “The subject of his answer to Seabury's charges was not_discussed.” “I went to see & friend who lives in that house,” the mayor said, “and as I was going in I met Gov. Smith in the hallway and we talked for five min- utes on purely persop~. matters.” Priends of both coniirmed reports that in its o al form the mayor's reply declares the charges made against him all apply to his first term in cffice and Mm’ not be used as ground for re- moving him from his second term.

MOSCOW, July 27.—Soviet authori- ties today announced a new important step in the direction of removing of- ficial restrictions against sales by Rus- slan peasants of their own products. Hereafter, according to the new de- | cree, all peasants living within & dis- | tance of 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) of Moscow are freed from contracts obligated them to tive organizations at fixed prices. Grain Is Excepted. An exception was made regarding grain, however, and the grain contracts will remain in operation. ‘The peasants may sell all other | products such as milk, eggs, fruit and vegetables, without price restrictions, either to co-operatives or to private consumers. ‘The only reservation is that those | peasants who have not joined the col- | lective farms must carry out 50 per cent of their contracts for potato deliveries. At the same time the Government issued @ decree, supplementing that of last Sunday, extending commercial free- dom to artisans’ co-operatives. The new decree provides peasant producers’ co-operatives in regions where handi- craft trades rather than farming pre- dominate, shall be under the direction of the artisans’ co-operatives instead of the collective farm system. Exchange System Formed. It orders the collective farms to per- mit their members freely to form arti- sans’ co-operatives and outlines a sys- tem of exchange whereby the collect- ive farms shall furnish the artisans’ co- operatives with food, raw materials, and transportation, while the artisans are required to sell part of their output to the collective farms. The recent measures favoring the de- velopment of handicraft industries are linked closely with the new policy of permitting peasants to sell their prod- uce more freely in private markets because the success of this policy de- pends largely on the avallability for peasants of many types of goods of | every day consumption of which Rus- sia’s handicraft industries produce a considerable share, HOUSE CANDIDATE ENDS LIFE IN PROBE +Arthur Sellers, G. 0.
