tanned when the new Southwestern
rates 20 into effect on July 8. the
first tariffs received in Brownsville
discloses.
The new rates are established upon
a mileage basis, but an exception 20
this rule was made in the case Of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the
entire section being placed under a
blanket rate which equalizes for ali
shipping points within the area sucn
advantages as may accrue.
Four tariffs, the first of which has
been received BY the chamber OF
commerce traffic bureau, will cover
the new southwestern rates, and the
remainder will be received by the bu-
reau before July s. ANY informa-
ton desired on the new rates may be
secured by telephoning 405, the bu-
reau headquarters.
approximately 80 commodities are
listed in the new rates, and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has
served notice that adjustments on
all other commodities must be CON-
pleted not later than December s,
1928. Rates on vegetables have been
lowered materially; no change has
been made in the lumber rate; and
agricultural implements are included
among the commodities lowered.
Shipping interests and carriers ir
the Southeastern territory have
launched a vigorous fight against the
reduction in southwestern territory,
charging that the new rates are dis
criminatory. Southwestern shippers,
who are maintaining close touch with
the situation, express confidence that
the southeast territory will be un-
able to prevent the new rates going
into effect as scheduled.

By the Associated Press.
There is a businesslike atmosphere
to MIR. Hoover's semi-weekly press con-
ferences. that reflects the increasing
intensity of the campaign.
He seldom speaks for direct quotation
but answers questions put him by the
newspaper men with an unhesltatlng
decision and often with an attention TO
detail that makes his position on points
at issue altogether clear.
Sometimes his replies are almost
abrupt. always they are decisive. his
promptness in meeting the questions
with which he is piled recalls RooSe-
velt's famous snap Judgment. 50

result of long thought on the subject

nitely. or, Eyes, that will be given con-
Sideration."
easy Friendliness" Noted.
But. with all oft his businesslike air,
somehow or other there is an easy
friendliness to the conferences, brougnt
about largely perhaps by the lntormanty
given them by the nominee.
BY circumstance, the press CONFER
ences were begun in the typewriter
encircled room at Hoover headquarters;
which is the newspaper mems speclal

cleaning was still in progress In ms

Hoover turned aside to the small, I'M

occasionally with a few women. crowd

Hoover's coming is heralded. but more
often without any preliminary warning
he is suddenly in the center OF the
group, taking his place on straight
typists chair, behind which some ones
heap of newspapers lie on plain maple

If he has a statement on any
definite point, he launches straight
into it, sitting forward on his chair, his
big hands folded, one on the other in a
rather quaint, old-fashioned gesture, on
the edge of the desk before him. He
speaks in a low voice, but his sentences
follow one another with clarity and
precision in a steady, unhesitating flow,
while pencils scratch buSily in the
hushed room around him.
Then he looks for further questions,
or turns to smile at side remarks passed
by the members of the group whom he
has come to know. When he realizes
the questioning is over he snaps back
into his more buSiness-like air.
well, any more? Then guess that's
all for today" is his almost unvarying
conclusion.
He rises quickly, his chair scraping
en- the stone floor, and the men make
way for his blue-coated figure, as he
heads toward the door.
AS suddenly as he came, he IS gone.

OVER PRESIDENT
Columbia Heights Faction
Plans Separate 0rgani-
cation.

A revolt within the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association against the lead
ership of j. Clinton Hiatt, president,
has led to steps being taken by a dis
satisfied element to organize rival and
independent association.
october s, it was learned today, has
been set as the tentative date for, an
organization meeting in the Wilson Nor
NAL School, provided constitution can
be drawn up by that time and permiS-
sion is given for the use of the school
hail.
About rs men and women who re-
Gently severed relations with the mother
association are leaders in the revolt,
which (hey declared was aimed at the
"bulldozing' tactics of clique headed
by President Hiatt The revolt brings
to a head a controversy which has dis
rupted harmony within the ranks OF
the Columbia Heights Association since
last May.
Recruits Expected.
Many new recruits are expected to
join the ranks OF the rebels" before
the meeting october 8, it was claimed
Although no official name has been
selected for the new association. Charles
S. EaSterling is temporary chairman
rotary.
From the attitude of Mr.. Hiatt, it
would seem that the policy of the Co.
iumbia Heights Citizens Association is
to permit the diSgruntled element to
depart in peace" Hiatt refused alb
solutely to discuss the situation today
He indicated, however. that he would
have plenty to say later about condi-
lions within the association.
The rift between the two factions
within the association started last May
following the report of the membership
chairman in which it was charged that
the names of several members had been
submitted improperly at the April meet
ing. An investigation was demanded.
According to Phillips, the investiga-
ton revealed that Hiatt has knowing
ly" recommended several persons in
eligible for membership because of their
non-residence in the section covered by
the association and that some of these
new members had voted in the election.
Expulsion Voted.
The association thereupon voted to
expel these members and requested the
resignation of Hiatt as president. When
Hiatt refused to resign the chair was
declared vacant.
f1laCC, III the meanwhile, got DuSy
and lined UP strong support. At the
July meeting the association voted to
eXpung from the record its action of
the previous month, which had "tech-
nically" removed Hiatt AS a result the
president was renamed and continues
to be in power.
Resentful at being "steam-rollered,"
the rebel faction decided to sever re-
lationS and quit the association in a
body. Mr.. Easterling said he expects
ct least 200 members in the new asso-
citation by the time it is in operation.
