Dan Rorimer, former New newspaper man and now a writer, is in love with Anne, but has come to regard his feeling for | her as a hopeless one, especially since his release from Continental Pictures and his rather unsuccessful attempts to free lance Paul Collier, who writes movie column for a string of papers, shares Dan's apartment with | him.

With the life of the old commis- sion expiring by law at midnight a week from tonight, the president plans to make public within the next few days the names of the four re- maining appointees to the tariff body. He has been negotiating for weeks with a score of prominent men and economists, seeking a com- mission which would meet his re- quirements, and has practically made his choice. Edgar B. Brossard, Utah repub- lican now serving on the old com- mission, is one of the four, the Unit- ed Press has been reliably informed. Brossard acted as chairman of the old commission. It is possible Alfred ' P. Dennis, Maryland democrat, may also be finally chosen on the new bi-partisan commission. Dennis served as vice chairman on the old commission and is highly regarded by democrats and republicans. Two Announced Two members already have been announced, Henry P. Fletcher, vet- eran diplomat and Pennsylvania re- publican, as chairman, and Thomas Walker Page, Virginia economist and democrat as a member: The president is represented by his friends as desiring more econo- mists for membership on the com- mission. He has, however, had great difficulty in-finding men of practical experience in tariff matters Who also are economists, measuring up to the other requirements of the office. Within the next 10 days the com- mission is expected to begin work re- vising what Mr. Hoover called “the ingqualities and injustices” of some portions of the new law. Fletcher will be the president's personal rep- resentative on the board. The two are close friends, Fletcher having made the South American tour with the president before his inaugura- tion. 3 Mr. Hoover palns to put the com- mission to work immediately at its task of placing many of the Smoot- Hawley tariff rates on an equitable basis. He probably will not name the rates which he has in mind, but through Fletcher, he can institute any investigation of rates which he may desire. BARKLEY TARIFF “SLAH ANSWERED Republicans Attempt to Kill Strength of Senator's Argument ‘Washington, Sept. 10 (UP)—The statement of Senator Barkley, demo- crat, Ky., that the Smoot-Hawley tariff law would result in a move- ment for cancellation of the war debt of foreign natioffs to this country by cutting down the amount of imports from Europe had brought two replies today from ad- ministration supporters. Undersecretary of Treasury Ogden L. Mills said Barkley's state- ment contained no new facts or evi- dence that some of his Yigures were inaccurate. He asserted the Ken- tucky senator “fails to take into con sideration the magnitude of our cash dealing with foreign countries {and the many -individual factors that enter into the balance of inter- national payments.” . Senator Hatfield, * republican, W. Va,, in a statement issued through the ‘republican national committee, said Barkley was being used as a spokesman for American interna- tional bankers “on a subject dearest | to their -hearts—debt cancellation.” He also referred to “the desperate Raskobian - effort to discredit the new tariff act.” At the same time, Chairman John J. Raskob of the democratic na- tional committee announced through the National Broadcasting Company his first active part in the fall con- gressiofpl election campaign. He will speak Monday night over a na- tional radio hook-up on “The Tariff From a Business Man's Standpoint.” A statement defending the new tariff act from the viewpoint of the housewife was issued today by Mrs. Clare C. Grace, Petersburg, Fla., re- publican committeewoman from Florida. “My state gained much by the new tariff,” Mrs, Grace said. ‘‘Our housewives are finding that living costs actually have come down, in- stead of up as had been predicted by the anti-tariff forces. I think we have every right to be optimistic about the forthcoming election.” CAPONE PLANS BIG GANGLAND NERGER Will Take Former Enemies Into New Vice Scheme . Chicago, Sept. 10 (UP)—“Scar- face” Al Capone has taken his for- mer rivals into partnership with himself in a giant cooperative or- ganization to control the beer, vice and gambling industries in Chicago and Cook county, reliable reports said yesterday. , Sources close to the underworld said that this is the gang chief’s plan to put beer running and ille- gal resorts back on a paying basis. At the same time Capone hopes to eliminate many of the gang murders which have concentrated unwanted attention “on gang operations. Police activity resulting from the |murder of Alfred J. Lingle, €hicago | Tribune reporter, and the expose of the slain Jacl- Zuta's connections with public men, has caused an alarming depression in gang rev- enue. Returning from summer re- sort communities, where they usual- ly operate during the hot weather, gang leaders found Chicago all but closed. New police captains were on duty in many wards. Peace offi- cers had become difficult to deal with. Capone’s answer was to complete an “all for Al and Al for all” or- sganization, which he has had in Imind ever since his release from jail in Philadelphia last spring. As it is being put into operation now, however, the scheme embraces sev- eral departures from the original plan. Al Stays Backstage Capone himself will remain far enough in the background to be safe. Most of the actual work will be done by a “cabinet” of depart- ment heads made up in the main of Capone’s former enemies. He will live at his brother's home in Cicero and spend only a small amount of time at his Lexington hotel headquarters in Chicago. As tentatively selected the cabinet will include: Secretaries of beer—Manufactur- ing, Joe Saltis; delivery, Klondike O'Donnell. Both of these men have Leen notorious Capone enemies in the past. Secretaries of war—Ted Newberry and Jack McGurn. Secretary of gambling—Ralph Ca- pone, brother of Al Ralph owns the “Ship,” famous Cicero gambling resort, and is familiar with the so- called slot-machine racket. Now---Only 6 Women Have .

MacMillan’s 13th ex- pedition into the far north. The trim white “vessel, bearing seven men and seven boys besides her famous skipper, put in here last night after an uneventful homeward cruise from beyond the arctic circle. She was expected to proceed today to Wiscasset, the Sheepscot river port that is considered her home haven. In contrast to most of Comman- der MacMillan's previous expeditions, the journey just ended did not have sclentific ‘exploration as its para- mount purpose. When the Bowdoin sailed from Wiscasset on June 21 last, she carried 40 desks and mis- cellaneous schoolroom equipment which were installed in the Eskimo school which MacMillan erected last year nmear his scientific experiment station at Nain, Labrador. Thus, the distinguished explorer partly fulfilled his pledge to the La- brador Eskimos, to build and equip three schools for native children. Visited Reyjovik The Bowdoin’s first stop after en- tering northern waters was at Rey- javik, Iceland, where members of the expedition attended the celebration of the 1,000th anniversary of the Al- thing, the Iceland parliament, be- lieved the oldest body of its kind in the world. Later the party visited the famous cryolite mines near Ivigtut, on the southern tip of Greenland, where considerable time was devoted to re- search work. On the return trip the schgelroom equipment was installed near Nain, Labrador. The youngest member of the ex- pedition, and possibly the youngest person ever to visit the far north, was MacMillan's cabin boy, Willlam A. Thomas, Jr. 10, of Chicago, whose father went as ship's doctor. Besides these two and MacMillan, the party included: Ralph T. Rob- inson, Merrimac, Mass., assistant to the commander; First Mate John T. Crowell, Jr., Gloucester, Mass.; Se ond Mate Frank D. Henderson, Pro-, vincetown, Mass.; Engineer John Jaynes, Somerville, -Mass.; Cook Tony Alexander, Provincetown; Ra- dio Operator Paul.H. Davis, Jr., Chi- cago; and Edward Hoffman, John Post, Frank Elliott, Clifford Crulie, | Jr, James Markham and Robert M. Potter all young sons of wealthy Chicago men who helped finance the expedition.
