GALES r AISES S
MAY EMBARGO
ON U. S. GOODS

MEXICO CITY, Oct. % (P)-Some
well informed observers attach politi-
cal Importance to President Gales
cancellation of the Mexican govern
ment embargo against purchase of
supplies for the Mexican government
in the United States.
They are disposed to construe it as
possible gesture of good will espec-
tally as the cancellation degree was
issued just as Dwight w. Morrow as
sumed his new post as ambassador.
Under orders last May which Gales
revoked, the Mexican government
could and did continue to buy United
States supplies, but bought them
through firms in Mexico. Agencies of
the Mexican Government under the
new decree can buy anything they
want directly from firms in the United
States.
The original order not to buy any
thing in the United States was issued
as a reprisal for an embargo estab-
lished by American authorities on GER
tain shipments to Mexico. President
Gales decree cancelling the order not
to purchase in the United States mere
ly says that the reason for it no longer
exists, but does not give details.

.5TH trunk Line
TO MISSISSIPPI
is CONSIDERED

NEW YORK, Oct. % (Rj-Leonor
F.. Loree, whose plan for a fifth
trunk line system from New York to
the Mississippi river crossings has
become matter of major Importance
in eastern railroad consolidation pro-
jectS, today was present for the first
time at meeting of the eastern
trunk line executives, called to discuss
ways and means of effecting salts
factory realignment of the roads.
Today's meeting, a resumption OF
similar conferences which were brok-
en- off last spring, was attended by
Patrick E. Crowley, president of the
New York Central; w. ". N.~Atterbury
head of the Pennsylvania: John j.
Bernet, president of the Erie, who
represented the Van Sweringen in
terests; Daniel Willard, head of the
Baltimore s. Ohio, and Mr.. Loree,
president of the Delaware and Hud-
son.
Previous meetings, which have been
internationally in progress since 1924
were interrupted in the spring, when
it was made known that the Penn
Sylvania had taken up the Loree
cause. The Pennsylvania had refused
to concur in the original plan for
eastern consultations, on the ground
that the proposal dig not assign to
it three important links.
It has been pointed out from time
to time that the Pennsylvania is
desirous of obtaining additional track
age from central Pennsylvania to
the Atlantic seaboard, in order to
relieve congestion on its existing lines
Such a road is the Lackawana, q
large block of whose stock Mr.. Loree
is understood to hold, and it is re-
garded in some quarters as probable
that the Pennsylvania desire fol
such a line as the LackaWanna, and
its recent eSpouSal of Mr.. Loree's
plan, are closely interlinkeo.
The first indication that the Penn
sylvania had lined up with Mr.. Loree
was in the effecting of an agreement
whereby Mr.. Loree's Delaware ano
Hudson was granted trackage rights
over 1863 miles of the Pennsylvania
lines. These rights were regarded
as a vital link in the proposed fifth
trunk line system.
|. Since the Lackawanna is also be-
lieved desirable to the New York
Central, a rather large bone of con-
tention appears to be present in the
negotiations. Hence it is regarded
as inevitable that the executives
should line up with the Pennsylvania
and Loree interest on one side ano
the three other trunk line systems or
the other

NARCOTIC "FRAUD FUND"
SLASHED BY McCARL

Controller General McCarl has de-
MED to the narcotic unit Of the Pro
hibition Bureau the use of a so-called
fraud fund" which in the past has
been used TO reward "informers."
This fund has been appropriated in
the sum of 100000 to be used in
detecting and Furnishing violations
against the internal revenue laws, of
which the narcotic law is one. Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Blair
had allocated $4,000 to Col. l.. G..
Mutt, head Of the narcotic unit. for
rewarding informers.
But McCarl has ruled that such pay
may no longer come from this source
and must be paid out of the regular
appropriation for enforcing the pro-
hibition and narcotic acts.
Col. Mutt, in explaining the situa.
tion today, said the McCarl decision
came as a surprise, and would curtail
somewhat the activities Of his forces.
The narcotic unit, he predicted. how
ever, would be liable to get through" J"
