Coarge Made Regarding Hold- ings in South America Washington, Oct. 11 P—A charge that Herbert Hoover “is credited” with owning oil and mining proper- ties in Colombia and Mexico and ha been vigorously made, accompanied by a sweeping °nial The allegation was sponsored by | Henry Clay Hansbrough, once a re- publican senator from North Da kota, now a supporter of Governor Alfred E. Smith. With it he coupled a demand that Hoover withdraw from the presidential campaign and permit the selection of a republican candidate “who cannot be infl d in handling our forcign rela- tions.” Allen Denies 1t The denial came from Henry J. Allen, director of publicity for tk republican national committee. La yesterday after being shown an. a Vance copy of a specch prepared by Hansbrough for delivery last night at Minneapolis, Allen nt a tel gram to the former senator ass ing that there was no foundation for such statements and declaring that they could “only be for the purpose of gaining voics by deliberate lies.” | Undeterred, Hansbrough said he| could not be “brushed asidc” by the cry of “lar” and went forward with his address at Minneapolis. Herbert Hoover, he said, cred ited with being the owner of 1,787 000 acres of oil producing land n: the Republic of Colombia” and of “gven larger concessions’ 'in Mexico. | Private Property ' “In the event that it becomes; necessary for our marines to 80 into those countries to protect American interests,” he continued, “they will, in fact, be giving the lives to protect the prvate proper of the president of the United| States or of those to whom he transferred it in order to run for president. «Qur delicate foreign relations will not permit of presidential im- perialism. If we select as our president one who has, or ever has had, large private foreign interests, most certainly it can be said that these United States. are governed not for the benefit of the prople as a whole, but for the benefit of the| president as an indiv idual.” | Has Evidence | Hansbrough declared further that he has “positive evidence” of the truth of his charges and Hoover, “the Mellon brothers, the Standard | 0il of Indiana, and the notorious Albert B, Fall have .joined al\d‘ severally invaded the Republic of | Colombia; that they have large con- cessions of rich oil and gold mine lands along the Magdalena river there, or did have them, which in the light of the issues of this cam- paign amounts to the same thing.” Hoover, Allen said gram of denial, an acre of oil conce a dollar invested dircetly or indirect- | ly in any business of any kind in| the Republic of Colombia and he| does not own a dollar's worth 0{! stock or an acre of oil land or any other property in the Republic of Mexico. The delivery of this speech leads to the inevitable conclusion that you are inaugurating the most malicious campaign of libel and slander that has characterized the history of presidential elections.” Based on Facts Shown a copy of Allen's tele- gram, as made public here, Hans- brough declared that the republican | publicity director should “go to the | sources.” He referred him to vari- ous oil land maps, trade reviews ard publications devoted to the oil in- dustry, mentioning them by rame. *“The charges I have made,” he sald, “have been based on facts.” | is cred- r owned READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS = FOR BEST RESULTS Acids In Stomach Causeflgesfion Neutralize Acid After Meals With Bisurated Magnesia.

DIANOND HARDNESS ALWOST DBTAINED New Inustrial Substance Found; ~Yery Toagh Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 11. UP—A stride by sclentific research in pro- ducing a substance approaching a diamond in hardness was announced here today before the convention of the’ American 8oclety for Steel Treatment, Its usefulnesas {s as a ma- chine tool for boring and cutting. The new material has no rela- tion to jewels, but is an industrial product, for such uses as the dia- monds employed in drills. Those diamonds resemble lumps of coal. The discoverv was announced by Dr. Samuel L. Hoyt of the reasearch laboratory of the General Electric company. It ‘s named carboloy, and is composed of tungsten ca bide and cobalt. The carbide sup- plies the hardngss and the cobalt the strength. Natural sapphire, next below dia- mond in the scale of hardness, is scratched by carboloy. The win- dows o fthe laboratory where it was invented bear the marks of the scratching properties of the new alloy. Held 2gainst an emery grinding wheel, carboloy cuts a deep, narrow groove without suffer- irg much itseif, Dr. Hoyt said that for drilling holes in rock and cencrete it has been customary to use diamond drills or star hammers. The new cutting material is less expensive than diamonds and cuts a smoother hole than the star hammer, he said. On Bakelite, digmon( tools have been the only niterial (o stand up at the high cutting spoed used. Wifea Bakelite contalned a meta) insert, operstion was re- quired to keep the diamond from breaking when it struck the metal at high speed. Dr. Hoyt sald that carboloy needed mno such special operation. A jump of 70 fold in magnitude of hardness as pared with co- balt.chromium, one of the best pre- vious cutting materials, was indi- cated by Dr. Hoyt. He cited com- contaiming metal tabric gears for balt-chromium ing after use in muchining 160 such purts, while carboloy finished 11, 000 before requinng sharpening.
