By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 13.—President von Hindenburg talked for 15 minutes this afternoon with Adolf Hitler, head of the National So- cialist party, and announced after the conference that the present cabinet, under Chancel- lor Franz von Papen, will remain in office. Hitler reiterated his demand that, on the strength of his party’s power in the Reichstag, he be made chancellor of Germany. The President refused “for moral reasons and for the sake of the fatherland.” ‘With great dignity he added that his conscience would not permit him to entrust to one party the sole respon- sibility for the entire German people.

ROME, August 13.—Guglielmo Mar- coni announced today he finally had | succeeded in “bending” ultra short radio | waves so that he will be able to utilize | his newest means of communication at | longer distances than previously was possible because, heretofore, he was unable to transmit through obstacles. His latest perfection has enabled him to overcome the earth’s curvature, which is proof, he said, that ultra short waves are not definitely limited by all obstacles. Marconi announced his discovery in a radiogram from his yacht Electra in the Gulf of Araonci at the northern tip of Sardinia after messages had been sent from Rocca Di Papa, south of Rome, to Capo Figari in Sardinia. The inventor's message to his friend | and collaborator, Marchese Luigl | Solari, sald he had used an ultra short wave apparatus of low power utilizing 57 centimeter waves and portable re- flectors, communicating clearly both | by radio telegraph and radio telephone from Rocca Di Papa to Capo Figari, & distance of 270 kilometers. ‘The messages were sent from Rocca di Succeeds in Overcoming Curvature of Present Industry.

Henry I Harriman, president of the Chamber, said so in a statement today as the Executive Committee of the non- governmental agency, met.

ALBANY, N. Y, August 13.—The courts, and not Gov. Roosevelt, may | have the last word in the Walker case. | 'That the defense intends to turn to | the courts if the Governor's decision is against Mayor Walker has been indi- cated by the legal excepilons taken to two of Mr. Roosevelt’s rulings at the hearing in the executive chamber on the charges against the mayor. The defense has challenged the Gov- ernor’s right to scrutinize the mayor’s first term and also his admission of Hofstadter Committee findings as evi- dence. John J. Curtin, Walker's at- torney, took exceptions yesterday on both these grounds. There was no hint as to how such an ‘lppefl would be taken. Move to Halt Hearing. Legal steps to restrain the Governor fromentertaining the Seabury ch: nst the mayor or from ousf lker already have been taken George Donnelly, a home rule ad- vocate, on the ground that the Gov- ernor has no authority to sit in judgment.

The constitution says merely that | cities shail have the power to adopt local laws relating, among other things, to the “mode of selection and removal” of their officials.

INTERNATIONAL ACTION ASKED TO BOOST PRICES Statement Drafted for Adoption by Closing Session of Parley - on Next Thursday. By the Assoctated Press. OTTAWA, Ontario, August 13.— Americans observing the work of the Imperial Conference interpreted a final report of the Monetary Committee to- day as a definite bid for continuation of currency on a gold basis and for leniency by the United States in set- tlement of war debts. The report was prepared for the plenary session expected to end the conference next Thursday. Gold Not Specifically Named. “The conference,” the report said, “recognized that the ultimate aim of & monetary policy should be the resto- ration ot a satisfactory international standard.” It added that trying to achleve low interest rates and an ebundance of short-term money for restoration of trade should not be pred- icated on “inflationary creation of ad- ditional rpeans of payment to finance public expenditures.” Gold was not specifically mentioned, but Americans read into it a sugges- tion that a new par value be estab- lished on a gold basis for depreciated empire currency. The idea was said to line up with the proposed creation of a central clearing system in London for empire trade paper so that credit might be expanded and the need for actual transfer of currency minimized. The report recommended creation of an area of stability among countries regulating their currencies in relation to sterling and avoldance of wide day- lo-lg:y fluctuations between sterling and gold. 4 Price Raise Desirable. It said also that a rise in the general level of wholesale prices was the most desirable means for facilitating such a result, but that international action was urgently necessary in that, connection and that the commonwealth nations were eager to co-operate with other na- tions toward that end. This was interpreted as bringing the United States directly into the picture. The immediately adjacent observation that there must be an “adjustment of political, economic, financial and mone- tary factors which have caused the breakdown of the gold standard in many countries” and which, if not ad- eakdown of whatever international standard might be set up, was taken to suggest redistribution of the world" gold supply, now concentrated in the United States and France.

Another problem bobbed up today in administration of the economy bill when it was made known that the Fed- eral Trade Commission is proposing to ask Controller General McCarl if em- ployes on indefinite furlough as a savings proposition may be dismissed. The Trade Commission has 60 whose services are no longer needed and who were furloughed indefinitely that their salaries might be used to take care of other workers. Under McCarl's ruling, however, one-twelfth of this money must be impounded, unless the workers could be cut off the pay roll entirely, and the commission needs this money, amounting approximately to $20,000.

Graham, secretary-treasurer of the Graham- Paige Co, and an oulstanding figure in automotive circles, took his own life by drowning at Chatham, Ontario, this morning. The advices to the News said that Graham, who recently suffered a ner- vous breakdown, eluded his brother, Robert C.
