Hurley Addresses Reunion of 30 Di- visions of Veterans. KNOXVILLE. Tenn., September 30 (#) ~Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley, who was booed several times during a campaign speech at Johnson City Wed- nesday night, charged in an interview yesterday that Democrats are “plant- ing stool pigeons” at Republican meet- ings to_heckle speakers. The War Secretary attended a re- union here of World War veterans of | the 30th Division and delivered an non- | political speech. Referring to the hecklers of Johnson City, Hurley said: “There were just a hancful of them sprinkled through the | crowd. The crowd was with me.” Man Said He Was Paid. | “After the speaking.” he asserted, “a | man by the name of Wuthering came up to me and said he had been paid $2 | to ask me a list of questions.” | Hurley said he believed his hecklers ‘were not veterans. “Men who wore the uniform don't act like that. They were stool pigeons paid to be there.” The_Secretary in his speech to the 30th_Division said the United States | has “no imperialistic designs,” but “pro- poses never again to send its sons to the battlefield unprepared.” Profiteering Is Target. ‘The War Secretary said last year Con- gress named a commission of 12 mem- bers, of which he was chairman, whose chief chjectives were to further the cause of peace and make war profiteering im- possible. Soldiers and citizens should share war burdens alike, he said. “However, there is no power this gide of heaven that can equalize the sacrifices and suffering of those who fought in the World War,” he told the hundreds of veterans in his audience. | He said he was leaving politics out | of his address “because the men who | fought for our country were greater | than any political party.” | Col. George K. Freeman, attorney of Goldsboro, N. C., was elected presi- dent of the division association, and | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, PTEMBER 30, 1932.

Conservatives Increased From 11 to 13. By the Associated Press. LONDON. September 30.—The Brit- ish cabinet shake-up, caused by~dis- agreement over the tariff policies formu- lated at the Imperial Economic Con- ference, was almost completed today. The net result was a reduction from 20 to 19 in the cabinet membership. National Laborites and national Lib- erals each found their representation cut from four to three ministers. Con- servatives were increased from 11 to 13. Stanley Baldwin, who has been lord president of the council, will also take | over the portfolio of lord privy seal, it was announced. Incidentally a saving | of 4,000 pounds a year was thereby ef- fected. Mr. Baldwin replaced Viscount Snow- den. who broke up a long-standing partnership with Ramsay MacDonald, the prime minister, by resigning in opposition to legislation that will be necessary to carry out the Ottawa agreements. The posts of the two other cabinet ministers who had resigned were filled vesterday—and today the prime min- ister instituted a general shake-up in the rarks of junior ministers. Some of these posts still remain unfilled. Appointment of Maj. L. Hore-Belisha, a Naticnal Liberal, as financial secre- | tary to the treasury. replacing Maj. W. E. Elliot, who becomes minister of ag- | riculture, was apparently intended to ‘cnmpm\sn(e the Liberals for the loss of the home secretaryship, which Sir | Herbert Samuel had filled since the ! formation of the national government | last year. - The post is considered one of the key positions. Maj. Hore-Belisha was for- merly parliamentary secretary to the Board of Trade. Other appointments announced to- day were: Dr. E. L. Burgin, Liberal. parliamentary secretary to the Board of Trade, replacing Maj. Hore-Belisha. Earl of Plymouth, Conservative— Undersecretary for the _colonies, re- placing Sir Robert Hamilton, resigned. A. Butler, Conservative—Under- secretary for India, replacing the Lord ,of Jothian, resigned. | Col. C. M. Headlam—Undersecretary | for the ministry of transport. Today the King will hand the new cabinet ministers their seals of office and the first meeting of the reorgan- ized cabinet will be held. Laber supporters of the Government in both the houses met the prime min- ister on an invitation to discuss the political situation. In a statement afterward the mem- bers reaffirmed their conndwce in the prime minister's leadership.

HOME LOAN DRIVE HELD PROGRESSING Chairman Fert Declares Small Stock Subscmiptions to Date “Very Satisfactory.” Although the Home Loan Bank Board has recelved only approximately $300,080 in subscriptions for capital stock in the new Federal system, Chair- | man Franklin W. Fort said today the campaign now being conducted in 65 cities is progressing “very satisfactorily.” The total capitalization of the 12 regional banks has been set by the board at $134,000,000. The stock sub- seription drive will be concluded on Oc- tober 14, one day before the District | banks are to be opened. Chairman Not Uneasy. | Mr. Fort said the board was not un- | easy over the few subscriptions so far | received because it has been advised of “very excellent informal commit- |ments.” He explained many prospec- tive large subscribers are holding off | until the last few days in order to take | advantage of the interest rate on their | money. | “It is perfectly natural,” he added, | “for & building and loan association | which contemplates buying $350.000 in stock to hold off until the last day be- | fore sending in its check. Not only | could this sum be drawing interest, but | | it could be employed for other purposes ; | instead of resting in our treasury until | | the date set for the banks to open. | “In view of this, this problem has never really seriously troubled us.” | Treasury Funds Available. | The Federal Treasury has available for stock purposes in the home loan bank system a total of $125,000,000 in | the event public subscriptions do not | come within the minimum stipulated by the board. Should the fourth dis- trict, which takes in this city, raise only $5,000,000, or less than the $10- | 000,000 c: alization set by the board, | the #reasury will be requested to sup- ply the amount needed. Only four more district directorates | remain to be completed by the board and Fort said they will be announced within the next 24 hours. He said the board has experienced absolutely no trouble in getting men to serve on the various district boards and praised the accepted responses as “a remarkably fine exhibit from men anxious to do public service and consequently we are extremely well pleased with the per- onnel.” I ALLIGATOR coo1% HG“\‘WW(J o*|/_c\M ‘0 1620 tn excluaive shopo BODY ON WAY HOME Sevier Burial in Nashville Following Court Battles.
