Members of the national council from virtually every section of the United States gathered in two divi- sions to make.tho nominations. The completion of the slate was not ex- pected until late today. A summary of business conditions issued last night by Julius H. Barnes, chairman of the board of | the chamber and head of President Hoover’s national business survey conference. Construction Good 1t reported that “American indus- try is fully carrying out the con- struction program forecast last De- cember,” and placed the total of building contracts for the first quar- ter of 1930 a $1,100,000,000. Fur- ther, it computed assured state and local highway construction, for the year at $1,601,000,000. During the year's first quarter, the survey showed, corporations throughout the country obtained new capital totaling $1,554,000,000. Call and time money were listed as having reached new low levels an.d savings bank deposits werc reporte. as increasing in virtually every scc- tion. In New York state, the report continued, savings deposits for the first quarter of the year reached a total of $79,670.000 as against but §14,549,000 during the same period last year. ; Although ho)ding generally to an optimistic note as the survey touch- ed briefly upon conditions in the major lines of industry, the survey showed many of the totals given as below the marks sct for 18 The billion and a half dollars of new capital so far obtained by cor porations was excceded by two pet cent in the first quarter of ldst year. the survey showed. Bond offerings 50 far $his year were shown 40 per cent greater than last. Railroad Expenditures Risc Capital expenditures by railroads for the first quarter likewise were shown to have incrcased over the same period last’year, by approxi- mately 40 per cent, while those by telephone corporations were listed as increasing 30 per cent. Automobile production in the United States and Canada, although passing the million mark, fell 500.- 000 short of last year, the survey continued, while used car sales anli the automobile parts industry both experienced substantial increases. Summarizing, Mr. Barnes said the survey suggested a ‘“manifest ad- justment of production of goods ‘o current consumption,” and a con- tinuation of “cautious merchandi ing policies in retail distribution.” LA GUARDIA SAYS GRAFT ENORMOUS (laims Million 2 Day Collected in Liquor Situation Boston, April 28 (F)—Charges that local, county and state officials throughout the country collected a million dollars daily in “graft” were made herc last night by Congress- man F. H. LaGuardia, of New York in an address attacking the prohibi- tion law. Speaking to several hundred per- sons in Symphony hall, the New York congressman cited instances:of graft and corruption in other places which he said were typical of what is going on in every city and state in the country. He told of a casc in the south, where federal agents sought to build a still in order to catch retallers and he told how while about to erect the still. they were stopped by another group of agents who sought to col- lect a bribe beforc the still was built. He went on to tell how the first group of agents wired Washington for instructions and how,, after a Jong delay, the grafting agents re- fused to allow the still built. He said that the new system be- fng tricd of arresting people bringing liquor into night clubs is “sort of a protective tariff for hootleggers who pay officials.” If prohibiton is transferred to the department of justice, ho said, the department *“will become de- generate as soon as it becomes con- taminated with the curse of prohibi- tion.” SAYS CAPTAIN'S ACTION SAVED CREW OF VESSEL Captain of Rammed Collier Praises Skipper of “President Harding” Thought Quickly, Saved Lives. Hamburg, Germany, Captain Larin, April 28 (A— of the ill-fated Brit- ish , collier Kirkwood, which the American: liner President Harding rammed and sank in thc mouth of the Elbe Saturday during a heavy fog, today said he and his crew owed their lives to presence of mind of Captain Becbe of the President Harding. He described how Captain Begbe, rargming his bow far into the stern of the Kirkwood, kept his ship at full speed ahcad for about two.min- utes, or such time as was neceSsary to save the crew of the doomed tanker. The effect of the full steam ahead was to give the Kirkwood a lateral propulsion of its own which kept it afloat momentarily before it filled with water and sank. The entire crew with the excep- tion of one fireman, who was drown- ed, were rescued.
