and Rubber Business.
Rv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A proposal to investigate the rub
ber and coffee Industries in the United
States was rejected today by the
House committee which is inqufring
into foreign monopolies in rubber, COZ
fee and other raw materials.
The effort to expand the investiga'
ton to include conditions in the rub
ber and coffee trade in this country
was made at an executive session OF
the committee by Representative
Parks, Democrat, Arkansas. 1t re-
fiected a considerable movement. al
ready apparent among Democratic
members of the House. to bring into
question the attitude of the present
administra ton toward business meth
dds at home.
The resolution would have called
for inquiry into the means and
methods OF the manufacture. price
and distribution OF automobile tires
and Of all rubber products and rub
Der goods sold in the United States,
and also the price, sale and dlstrlpu-
ton Of coffee
charles 3. Segar, president of the
United States Rubber Co, New YORK
City told the committee he opposed
its present investigation as interfer-
ing with business.
AdvisabiIity Questioned.
The advisa bility of the investigation
was questioned in the House yester-
dav by several Democratic members,
Representatives Black of New York
and Connally of Texas, both asserting
that the committee should turn it's at
tention TO n1onopOlieS in this country
over which Congress has legislative
power.
Secretary Hoover's position in urg-
ing the rubber inquiry amounted to
"propa ganda plus" in the opinion OF
Mr.. Black, who charged that Amer
ican tire companies are "sicclng the
the faithful Hoover on the British lion
lust when they are about to initiate
prices"
Mr.. Connally advised the committee
to take a look at ''the trusts that are
running between its legs and not
spend all it's energies attacking for
eign monopolies.
Another Democrat, Representative
celler. also of New York, asserted that
Mr. Hoover has ranted and rallied
AGAINST the British and yet has en-
couraged monopolies in this country y

F. A. Sieberling. president of the
Sieberling Rubber Co, of Akron, Ohio,
told the committee that Great Britain
could squeeze us to death over night, :,
If it desired to press the advantage Oh
its control over crude rubber.
w. O. Rutherford, vice president OF
the B. F. Goodrich Co.. of Akron, testi-
fed that American rubber manufac-
turers were certain to suffer a. loss OF
millions of dollars when the inevi-
table crash comes in rubber prices.
but desired market stability even at
such a cost.

Rubber Association of America, held
that the solution of the rupper PROD

DO or Die Spirit Urges Two Norwegians
To Hop Across Pole in Plane to Alaska

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
OSLO, January 8.-A daring Arctic
expedition has been planned by two
young Norwegians whose names have
not been published, but who are
financed by a few wealthy persons.
The former have secured a Fokker
machine and intend to fly from Nova
jasemlja across the polar North Pole
to Alaska. The flight will be sport
ing one and not scientific.
The men hope to do the trip in 20
hours and they have decided to risk
everything.
"If we succeed, we'll and good"
they say. IF we do not succeed, we
will be prepared to die"
The start will be made at the ear
liest possible moment in the spring.

Ship Captain on Trial.

BOSTON, January 8 @.-Capt,
John H. Diehl, who commanded the
steamship City of Rome when she col
lided with and sank the submarine
S-51 last September, faced trial today
before the United States Board Of
Steamboat Inspectors on a charge of
violation of the pilot rules. The sub
marine went down off Block Island
with a loss of 3S lives.

Thus the men become dangerous COM
petitorS of Amundsen.
From a technical viewpoint, the trip
is quite possible. The distance is 800
miles and Fokker machines have made
longer nonstop flights than that. But
the two adventurers are severly hand
icaped by insufficient knowledge of
Arctic conditions.
The machine will be equipped with
wireless. Practically no food will be
taken, with a view to rending the
machine as light as possible. The
plan Is foolhardy one, according to
experts.

Favorable Report Agreed on
Measure to Buy Capitol
to-Station Land.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS BILL
ACTION SET FOR TUESDAY
Delay Follows Demand by Swan
son That All States Be As
sured of Fund Share.

A favorable report was agreed upon
today by the Senate committee on
public buildings and grounds on the
bill to authorize purchase of the ad
ditional land needed to complete the
extension of the Capitol grounds to
Union Station.
The committee postponed action
until Tuesday on the S165. 900 900 pub
lie building program at the request of
Senator Swanson, Democrat. of Nir-
ginia. who insisted there should he
some provision in the measure to in
sure fair distribution of the Federal
buildings among the various sections
of the country.
A majority of the members of the
committee present indicated they were
in favor of enactment of this Federal
building program. and Senator Swan
son said that he would not object If it
is amended in some way to guarantee
that the needs of all the States for
public buildings will he considered
Change Is Suggested.
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin sug.
GeSted a proviso that not more than
s5,0O0,O00 should be spent in any one
State in a given year. This seemed
to meet the objection of Senator Swan
son, but he requested that the vote on
the bill in committee be deferred until
Tuesday in the hope that members of
the committee will be able in the
meantime to agree upon language
which they can push for passage in
the Senate.
This bill would authorize $50, ,OO0, 900
for urgently needed buildings in
Washington to relieve those Federal
departments which are now attempt
ing TO function in crowded, unsatisfac-
tory, and. in some cases, temporary
structures.
The bill carries 800, 900. 900 for Fed
eral buildings. such as post Offices.
throughout the United States. and the
remaining $15,000,000 would be to
complete another building program m
authorized some years ago.
Early Action Favored.
Most of the members present were
in favor OF early passage of the public
buildings bill. but Senator Swanson
said he was afraid that IL it was. re-
ported in its present form of LEAKING
to the Treasury Department and ifhe
Post Office Department the selection
of places large projects would
get nearly all Of the money and the
small cities would be sighted.
In urging that Congress should put
through a general building program
at this session, Senator FernaId of
Maine. chairman of the committee,
pointed out that already 700 separat te
bills for the erection Of individual
post offices throughout the country
have been introduced in Congress and
that 1t will be impossible for Congress
to give consideration to so many sep.
arate bills on basis of fairness. II
any legislation is to be obtained to
relieve the urgent need for public
buildings, it will be through the pro.
posed general program, which author.
ICES a lump sum, to be allotted by
the Post Office and Treasury DeDarf.

Had EIdridge O. K.
CITY HEADS RETICENT
ON NATURE OF DEBATE
Regulation Would Have Driven
$4,000 Cars From Streets
Between l and 8 AM.

Commissioner Frederick \. Fen
ning's proposed ban on all-night parl..
ing was dealt a death blow todar
when the Commissioners IN semi
weekly board meeting put their stamp
of disapproval on the regulation which
would have prohibited parking on all
streets within the District between ]
and am. for a longer period than
four hours. The vote, it is under
stood. was to /. Commissioners Bell
and Rudolph voting in the negative.
The carefully drawn regulation,
framed jointly by Traffic Director NJ.
0. Eldridge and Assistant Corporation
Counsel Ringgold Hart. was presented
to the board for the first time by Com
missioner Fenning. The nature OF
the discussion that followed was not
revealed, but when Secretary Daniel
Z. Garges emerged from the board
meeting with the regulation 1t was
stamped with but one emphatic no.
Fenning Saw Approval.
Several days ago, Mr.. Fenning an
nounced that he saw no reason why
the proposed regulation should not
meet the approval of his colleagues.
The regulation bore the signature OF
Traffic Director Eldridge. but was sub
mitted to the Board of Commission
ers by Mr.. Fenning. Recommending
its adoption, Mr.. Eldridge said:
Il have made a very careful STUDY
of all-night parking on the streets
of Washington. In this study l have
examined the. regulations of several
cities and have visited the City OF
Baltimore. where a prohibitory regu-
lation has been in effect since 1920.
The matter has been discussed
with the corporation counsel as To-
the legal aspects of the regulation.
and Mr.. Hart, assistant corporation
counsel. has prepared a regulation In
accordance with my suggestion
which is submitted herewith, and
recommend its adoption by the Board
of Commissioners at once
Text of Regulation Given.
The text of the regulation, com
pleted yesterday afternoon, was
guarded with the utmost secrecy un-
til after the board session today. II
read:
Except where otherwise permitted
by these regulations, no motor We
hicle or vehicle of any kind or de
scription shall be parked or left stand
ing upon any public space in the Dis
trict of Columbia between the hours
of l am and s pm. for Il longer pc
riod than four hours.
This regulation shall be effective
on and after July l. 1925.
The trainers Of the regulation
thought that by not putting it into
effect until July l the $4,000 all-night
parkers in the District would be able
to provide storage space for their
cars.
