N THE nature of a culmination of his program for economic recovery will be the conference which Presi dent Hoover has called to open Au- gust 26 in Washing ton. Those summoned are the members of the business and in- dustrial committees recently set up In the twelve federal re- serve districts, and the purpose an- nounced by Mr. Hoo- ver Is to start a “con- centrated campaign along the whole nomic front.” Continuing the Pres ident said: “The con- ference will deal with specific pro} ects where definite accomplishments In business, agriculture, and employ- ment can be attained, and will co-or- dinate the mobilization of private and governmental instrumentalities to that end.” eco Franklin Fort Committee chairmen and officials whe were to hold the preliminary or- ganization meeting were: Carl P.

Much is expected to be accom plished by the home loan banking sys tem created congress, of which Franklin Fort of New Jersey has been made chairman. In a radio Mr. Fort explained that the home loan banks will have the power to direct loans on first mortgages up to the same percentage of the value of the property that they may loan to institutions, “We shall all be greatly d ed,” he continued, “if loan bank system does not put under the real estate and mortgage structure of America the type of underpinning which only will prevent its lapse In these troubled times, but form a foundation inued expansion and growth of home own ership. The machinery of the new organiza tion, which will be set up as soon as the board upon the sites for the establishment of the eight to twelve home loan banks provided by the law, is designed primarily to ad vance loans to bullding and loan as sociations, savings banks and insur. , ance companies in the mortgage fleld George ¢ of Doak : home by address L mage sappoint the § mm the home not col will for the cont decides ENATOR SMOOT, chairman of the senate finance realiz ing there are many Inequalities in the new revenue law, expresses the opin- ion that congress, when it reconvenes, will find necessary a revision of that measure to fit business conditions as they will then exist. And he believes the plan of a general manufacturers’ sales tax will be revived. “Personal ly” said the Utah senator, “I think that the bottom of the business de pression has been reached and that conditions are getting better every. where in the country.” The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has announced forma- tion of a special committee on taga- tion to examine “the manufacturers’ sales tax and other possible sourees of federal revenue” as a means “of curing inequities In the taxation sys tem as set up In the last session of congress.” committee, —— ICE PRESIDENT CURTIS was formally notified of his renomina- tion by the Republican party at his home in Topeka, Kan. The “cere mony was notable for its simplicity, for “Charlie” had sald he did not wish his friends and neighbors to go to a lot of expense. There were no pa- rades, but the Topeka Post band of the American Legion played and the same post provided a color guard. Senator Dickinson, chairman of the notification committee, spoke for about ten minutes, and Mr, Curtis then de. livered his address of acceptance, an effort that received high praise from his fellow Republicans, OUTH TRIMBLE, clerk of the house of representatives, decided that Speaker Garner and Represent ative Rainey were right and that it was mandatory on him to make pub lg the details of loans made by the econstruction Finance corporation fince July 1. In this he disagreed with President Hoover, who sought to avold this publicity and who thought further congressional action was nec- essary if the transactions were not to be held as confidential by the clerks of the senate and house. IVE distinguished engineers will pass on all applications for loans for self-liquidating projects as pro- vided for in the relief act carrying a fund of $1,500,000, 000 for construction work to ald the un. employed. At the head of this commit- tee of five is Dr. Charles David Marx, one of the foremost engineers of Califor. nia. He is a personal friend of President Hoover, who esteems him highly and has utmost confidence In his ability to handle the big job put in his bands. Doctor Marx, who was born in Ohlo in 1857, was educated in Cornell university and in Germany. He was United States assistant engineer on Missourl river improvement fifty years ago, and after. ward was on the faculties of Cornell, Wisconsin and Stanford universities. His home is in Palo Alto. Dr. C. D. Marx NE of the strange developments of the times is the farmers strike that was started in Iowa for the pur pose of forcing higher prices for farm produce and that spread to some ex tent in other states of the central west, The Towa farmers undertook to com- pel all agriculturists of the state to withhold their products from market, and in some regions, notably about Des Moines, picketed the highways and stopped nearly all trucks carrying vegetables and live stock to the city. Deputy sheriffs were instructed to keep the roads open, but few farmers cared to run the blockade. City milk distributors obtained sufficient supplies by train, but urbanites had tc rely on home gardens for thelr vegetahles, In North Dakota the farmers united to withhold their wheat from market until the price shall reach $1 a bushel, and their leader said had made progress in Plans for financing the threshing bills of farmers who promised to hold back heir wheat were being worked out. this movement eleven states, M AYOR JIMMY WALKER of New 4 York put in another strenuous trying to o« that he moved week Governor not be re from office. The examination con. by the ernor went into all facts connected with Walker's relations with Russell T. Sher wood, who handled the mayor's financial affairs and has long been missing: and withmanyother charges made by Samuel Seabury. Dur. ing the questioning there was a Ibt about an “unnamed woman" who was unofficially admitted to be Betty Compton, an actress now living In England. The evidence be fore the legislative committee had shown that this person, whos hame was not then revealed, received a check for $7.500 from a brokerage ae. count of Mayor Walker's and that cash and stocks valued at £75.000 were turned over to her from the various accounts of Sherwood, The mayor in his testimony referred to the “unnamed person” as having been his personal friend: he offered to explain his “arrangement” with her, as It was expressed on one occasion, but the governor refused to permit an explanation, Throughout the trial Governor Roosevelt has shown a commendable determination to get at the truth and frequently found occasion to squelch Walker's counsel, John J. Curtin. To the layman at a distance it seemed that the efforts of the attorney did nothing to help the mayor's case-—to put it mildly, Supreme Court Justice Staley 1s sued an order compeling Roosevelt to delay his decision in the case until after a hearing on a writ of injune. tion, and there was a good prospect that court proceedings would block removal of the mayor, If that is de. cided upon by the governor, until after the Presidential election, mvince Roosevelt should ducted gov- Mayor Walker EWS of Interest to all the country came from Englewood, N.

This the aged president curtly refused, but he did offer to make Hitler vice chancellor and give his party other cabinet offices. Hitler would not accept the minor post, pre- ferring to remain opposition as the prophet of the Nazis.
