Although McSwain believes that

PEACE ON DAM
SEEN WITHIN
4 WEEK

The Boulder Dam controversy
entered it's second week today with
prospects Of amicable settlement
brighter than ever.
Progress was made over the
weekend at series OF confer
ences between leaders, who today
predicted disposal Of the measure
this week.
Although Senators Ashurst Dl
of Arizona, leader Of the opposition,
and johnson R) of California,
author of the bill, did not meet
personally. their representatives
did. Sunday saw them closeted in
their offices, trying to iron out diff
ferences. The filibuster attitude OF
the last session is gone. Both
sides have attacked the measure
as something to be disposed OF
soon.
Peace Urged
Senators Bratton D.) of New
Mexico and King CD of Utah
acted as peacemakers. They urged
supporters and opposing forces to
settle the controversy and end the
six-year.old fight over the power
and irrigation project.
Both sides have shown a disposi-
ton to arbitrate, and, 1T is my belief,
stronger than ever, that the meas
ure will be disposed Of this week,"
King said today.
1t was the Utah Senator who, Sat
urday, hurried from a Senate cloak
room conference to predict on the
floor that the measure would pass in
modified form within a week. He
refused to comment today on what
form he believed the modified bill
would take, saying he did not want
to predict "prematurely."
Controversy centered around the
two provisions alIocating water and
disposing Of the power phase. john
son for week has held firm for the
provision providing governmental OPP
ton for construction of a power
plant. Hayden has carried on the
debate over the water ALLEGATION. He
asked enactment of his amendment
slashing 100000 acre-feet from the
$500, ,000-feet demand Of California
under the bill.
JOHuSOn asserted the power pEO-
vision has the approval of both the
present and the incoming Admins
tration, and was put in the bill by
the Secretary of the Interior.
AshIrst Continues
Administration leaders believed the
bill in its final form, If it passed,
would include the Hayden amend
ment slashing 1000 feet off Cali
fornia's water demands, and that
also 1t would carry the power pro-
vision. The latter for two days
proved stunbling-block to arbitra-
ton of the water question.
Ashurst today resumed reading of
his 25,000-word prepared speech
against the bill. It embodied largely
the same objections set forth in an
address almost equally as long made
by the Arizona Senator at last ses-
sion's filibuster.
7 This time, however, It was re.
garded as a method of keeping Boul'
der Dam actively before the Senate
while conferences were held on the
power and water provisions.

Two billion eggs are in storage

A year ago they sold at SO to

LOOMS FOR

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service
With tariff revision and farm re-
lief looming against the 1929 horizon,
congressional LEADERS today were
preparing for special session Of
the new Congress to convene about
March Is.
The decision OF the House Ways
and Means Committee to launch
tariff hearings on January s was
interpreted as indicating that the
opposition of veteran legislators to
special sessions had been overcome.
The House committee will consider
revision of rates during the second
week of January and will reach
administrative features toward the
middle of February.
It probably would take another
month after the hearings were
concluded before the committee
could report a completed bill to the
House.
Situation Simpler
This schedule would postpone the
convening of the special session to
probably the last week of March.
This would meet the approval of
Senate leaders, too, since there is
likelihood that the upper branch will
hold it's sessions in the rotunda of
the Capitol, while its old chamber
is renovated. 1t probably would

After q kindly grilling of June.

From the little black book" said

investigators expect to trace the

to uncover the names of the
'.hiRher-ups' in the ring and its
customers, and possibly to learn the

ing 1t.
The Federal investigators in the
case have taken the play away
from the New York authorities who
indicted George McManus, big.
time bookmaker, and three alleged
accomplices in the staying.
The Federal men today were to
ask Judge Francis K. Mancuso for
permission to examine Rothstein's
papers in two steel boxes in the
hope of uncovering more leads. 1t
was also planned to re-examine
sthe ''Dot" King papers found in the
gamblers files. The mystery of
