MELLON REPLIES TO
CARAWAY'S QUERIES
Secretary of Treasury Denies Ever
Being Personally Engaged In
Liquor Business.

Washington, Oct. UP)--An-
swering a series OF questions by SEN
ator +. II. Caraway, democrat, of
Arkansas. concerning his reported
liquor holdings. Secretary of Treas
ury Mellon in letter made public
today said he never was personally
engaged in the distillery or liquor
business.
The secretary explained his invest
ment OF $4,000 in the Overholt
distillery before the prohibition
amendment became effective He
raid the distillery had ceased man
ufacturing whiskey before they dry
law was enacted.
Il do not know how many gal
Ions OF liquor were held at the time
when the Volstead act and the 18th
amendment became effective" Mel
Ion wrote.
I'm fact have never known. l
have never had any other interest
connected with liquor or its distil-
lation and never at any time was l
personally engaged in the distillery
or liquor business.
I'm answer to your further ques-
ton. why the distillery was pur-
chased my reply is that the distil-
lery was acquired years ago just as
bought stock in any other business
If l had bought $4,000 of
stock in a tobacco company, would
1t be said ! was a tobacconist?"
Mellon suggested that the Arkan-
sans questionable was prompted by
political motives and after pointing
out that the issue had been raised
before. said: 1.-THE agitation will
cease on November g."

HO0VER'S CONCERN
IS With THE EAST
Will Make Effort to Hold
Ground Here

Washington. Oct. I R-His At
tention centered now upon the pres
ent exingencies of the campaign,
Herbert Hoover Is leaving to the
future his precise program for the
closing days of the president con-
test.
Concentrates In Fast
His chief concern for the time be-
| ing is the eastern sector of the coun-
try from which he receives varying
reports as to the outlook. Some of
these are of very pessimistic ma
ture while others are less gloomy.
Assessing the whole, the republt-
can presidential candidates II con-
WINGED that the real fight Is along
the eastern Atlantic seaboard, from
Jerseys shores to the point where
begins the rock-ribbed coast Of
Maine. and his efforts are directed
toward Strengthening the party RAM
parts there.
Leaders in that section believe
that his personal visits to New York
city and New England will be OF
great benefit and that after his per-
sonal conferences with the workers
and his two addresses, one In New
York and the other in Boston. there
will be rising tide of support for
the national ticket.
Must Really Work
Such party warehouses; as Moses
of Jor, RonA ~
Pennsylvania, have frankly told the
candidates that persistent work must
be done in the east II the party is to
hold ground which in national cleo
tons it usually has been reasonably
certain OF long before election day.
The situation in the south also 10
one to which Hoover is directing
some of his energies and his per-
sonal bid for support in that section
will be made Saturday in his visits
to Elizabethton and johnson City.
Tenn. in both towns Of which he
will make addresses.
While this is largely republican
territory. it is we'll into the south
land, and Hoover's messages will be
directed in part at least to all of the
country south of the Mason and
Dixon line.
While the candidate himself is d.
recting much of his energies to the
territory lying to north and south Of
his personal headquarters here, the
west Is by no means being neglected
with the campaign there being
pressed vigorously by Senator Curtis.
vice presidential candidate. and by
Senator William +. Borah. Of Ida
no, who is covering much of the ter
ritory traversed by the democratic
presidential candidate.
Starts Tomorrow
On his trip to Elizabethton. upon
which he sets out tomorrow night.
Hoover will be accompanied by Mrs.
Hoover, their son. Herbert, Jr., and
George Akerson. his personal as
sistant. With only a day set aside
for the visit to Tennessee, the NOM

Development PLAN
--
WILL Be STUDIED
Harmonious Park and Power
Project on Potomac to
Be Proposed.

Harmonious development of the Po'
tomac River between the District line
and Great Falls. for both power pro-
duction and for park purposes, will be
advocated IN a resolution TO be present
ed Monday night before the Montgom-
cry County Civic Federation at its meet
ins at Bethesda. The recommendations
will be contained In a resolution to oe
presented as q part OF lengthy report
of the committee on internal county
in,provement which has been studying
the problem for some months.
This committee is headed by Harold
C. Smith. Particularly, it has been
considering two resolutions, one by w
a Armstrong, which opposed any prof.
ect which would destroy the scenic
beauties of the area. and the other by
the Rockville Chamber OF Commerce
which urged waterpower development.
The report of the committee is COM
bination OF the two divergent views,
and follows the work now being done
under the direction OF Maj. Brehon
Somervell, United States Army Engineer
officer in charge of the area, to at
Use the water for power and at the
same time save some of the scenic
beauties for park purposes.
The resolution to be presented also
recommends that the rights and inter-
ests of the people to the use of the
nroduct of such power development on
fair and reasonable terms should be
carefully safeguarded. The committee
also sees the possibility OF obtaining
funds for the development of Mont
comery County's park system in the
power development. for 1t says that the
proprietary rights Of Montgomery
County are such that If developed by
private capital. a franchise tax should
be imposed upon the corporation. to be
applied to the upkeep Of its own system
OF parks.
The resolution also provides that
copies be sent to the Federal Power
Commission. the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, the Mary
land National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. the committees on the
District of Columbia of the House and
Senate, the Montgomery County COM
rnissioners and the county's representa-
tives in the Maryland Legislature.
