Expansion of Inquiry
Into Rubber Monopoly
DisapprOved in the Senate
fBv Dispateb A. p Wire,


WASHINGTON, JAM S.-Expansion
of it's inquiry into foreign monopolies
in rubber, coffee and other raw pro-
ducts to include the profits made by
American rubber and coffee manu-
facturers was disapproved today by
the house commerce committee.
A resolution by Representative
Parks, democrat, Arkansas, to broad
en- the Investigation to include the
American industry was rejected by
the committee in executive session.
A number of democrats on the COM
mittee supported the proposal, which
reflected a move already apparent
among the minority to bring into the
inquiry the administration attitude
toward business methods at home.
After the committee rejected his
proposal Parks introduced a similar
resolution in the house and announce
ed he would press for it's considera-
tion. 1t would call for an inquiry
into the means and methods of man
ufacture, price and distribution of
automobile tires and of all rubber
GOODS sold in the United States and
also the price, sale and distribution
Of coffee"
He said the resolution was designed
to ascertain what part of the in,
creased price in Cubber and coffee in
this country could be attributed to
manipulation by the British and Bra
lillian governments, and charged that
American manufacturers oL these pro-
ducts were attempting to ''pass the
buck" for high prices.

FLORIDA is STRONG FAVoRITE
FOR MAJOR LEAGUE TRAINING

Shortstop Jimmy Caveney of the
Cincinnati Reds has been shunted
back to the minors. He goes to Sc
attle of the Pacific Coast League
In his place comes Frank Emmer,
who is just about the same age as
Caveney. Peculiarly enough, Emmer
received a trial by Cincinnati about
10 years back He lacked experience
The fact that every major league
club waived on Jimmy Caveney was
surely a big surprise to me. l didn't
think there was a chance to get him
out of the majors.
Perhaps Jimmy Caveney has faults
with which I am not familiar, but
every time that have seen him in
action he has looked like a great
ball player.
With three or four clubs in both
big. leagues in need of shortstops, 1T
is rather surprising to me that none
of them were willing to gamble on
Caveneys past performances.
Possibly next fall some big league
club will he payig Eancy price to
