CAPITAL OF COSTA RIGA WELCOMES HOOVER
Leaders Disagree On Time and Nature of Farm Relief
THANKSGIVING DAY

mighty nation again pauses in the hustle and
hustle of modern every day life to return to the
simple faith and lofty ideals of the Pilgrim Fathers,
which inspired Thanksgiving Day.
No nation ever had to be thankful
than the United States of America for has been
avshy blessed with the bountes of nature and with
material prosperity. No individuals have ever been
blessed with such wonderful country for which to be
thankful
Material prosperity alone would be empty
thing for which to give thanks if it did not enable to
enjoy better the ideastic and spirtualistc
things of life
Our crops have been plentiful our industries hum
with activity, at with the world we have
suffered far less than other nations from the OF
nature There is minimum of poverty and distress
among people and the possibility of eliminating
this minimum is not remote
The nation recently passed through political
crisis. Instead of the result sowing strife and dis
cord often happens in other nations 1t is accepted
by all the will Of the people "a united people, dit
ferng in many things but bowing to the desires of the
majority.
This Thanksgiving Day finds the choice Of the
American people for President, visiting in foreign
lands, extending the hand of fellowship and goodwill
to neighbors seeking to strengthen our relations
with them and asking OF them only the privilege OF
being their friend.
We are people divided in many things, yet firm
ly united in love for country and for its nst-
tutions. Of these latter Thanksgiving Day may be
numbered among the foremost. 1t is distinctly an
American institution. 1t is observed by people of all
races, creeds and political beliefs who to make up
the American nation.
Each in his own way gives thanks to his God for
the blessings bestowed upon him and humbly asks for
their continuance. We do not spend the entire day
in prayer and thanksgiving as the Pilgrim Fathers dld
for "Times change, and with time Our thanks
need not be any less sincere if they brief, and we
will have missed the true spirit of Thanksgiving Day
if do not pause for few moments II only to say
from our hearts, 'Our Father, thank Thee for Thy
abundant blessings"

BAD SEAMANSHIP
IS BLAMED FOR
VESTRIS WRECK
BY HARRY F. FERGUSON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Dicker-
son n. Hoover, supervising inspec-
tor general of the Federal Steam
boat Inspection Service, today
blamed poor seamanship for the
sinking Of the liner Nestris on Nov.
II.
Hoover has been conducting 4
hearing here to learn whether the
Vestris was properly inspected be-
fore she left port and said that
while he had not reached his final
decision on what made the Vestris
go down, he believed the boat was
in good shape and properly equipped.
He blamed mismanagement of the
Ncstris for the disaster.
HOOver's hearing was adjourned
today and he with other members
of the commerce department com
mittee attended the inquiry which
L. S. District Attorney Charles II.
Tuttle is conducting.
Tuttle made q survey of informa-
tion obtained thus far and said that
of the port boats used in removing
the passengers, only three got
away from the Vestris, only two
were actually launched and that
only one was picked up by rescue
vessel.
He said, however, that all but one
starboard boat got away from the
ship.
The first witness called today
was n. Conant Webb, who said he
personally supervised loading of
coal and cargo into the Nestris. He
said that 1857 tons of coal would
have file dthe bunkers and that
he thought they were filled to with
III few inches of the top. He said
about 1900 tons of cargo were
loaded.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - A.
disposition to place responsibility
for the time and nature of farm re-
lief legislation on President elect
Hoover is growing among senator's
and representatives assembling here
for the short session of congress.
The wide divergence of opinion
among agricultural leaders on the
farm relief bill subject has created
a tangle which many believe Hoover
himself must straighten out.
Senator McNary, Rep, Oregon, is
the leader of an apparently minority
group intent upon passing a bill as
soon as possible. They advocate
speedy enactment of a measure in
cooperating all important provisions
of the old McNary Haugen bill ex-
cept the equalization fee.
Early Action Necessary
They argue that this measure en-
braces the program outlined by
Hoover in his campaign speeches
and therefore will be satisfactory to
him. Furthermore, they point out
that early action will be necessary
to rulf.! Hoover's st. Louis promise
of farm relief before the next har-
vest.
Senator Borah, Rep, Idaho, is the
spokesman of another group desir-
Gus of having special session of
congress called by Hoover and guild
ed by his recommendations to pass
farm relief legislation.
Borah and his followers profess to
believe the farm relief problem is
too complicated for solution at the
short session. They say it involves
passage of three measures mar
keting BILL surplus crop disposal
bill and tariff revision to give agri-
cultural proGucts higher protection.

CITY HALL TO
REMAIN IN ITS
PRESENT SPACE

Administration officers at the pre-,
sent city hall on Sixth street will
not be moved to the former Banl;
of Italy building at Sixth and Main
streets, it was announced today.
Public sentiment, adverse to the
proposed change, was given as the
reason for abandoning the plan.
Leroy Holt of the Bank of Italy
appeared before the city council late
yesterday at an informal meeting
and declared his organization was
willing to withdraw the offer in
view of the public attitude existing
here toward the proposed lease.
However, Holt said, the bank was
willing to carry out the deal if the
council desired but Bank of Italy of.
ficials deemed it advisable to drop
the proposition in view of present
circumstances.
Mayor w. j. Clements said today
that the councils action to lease
the lower floor of the bank build,
ing probably would be rescinded al
the next regular meeting.
Clements and Councilman R. r
Conch and H. Y. lFawcett voted
eyes on the proposal and the
mayor indicated that he and the
two couneilmen favored dropping
the matter in view of existing pub
lie sentiment.
According to the proposal, the
10 hn
$500 a month on condition the Bank
of Italy make necessary repairs and
alterations.
The lease was to run for four or
four and a half years and the build
ing was to be ready for occupancy
by February l. One hundred and
twenty-five dollars a month is be-
ing paid for the present city hall
quarters on Sixth street.

JOHNSON WILLING
TO AMEND BILL
If NECESSARY
Changes Suggested BY
Engineers Not Vital
He Asserts.
Ny United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Lead-
crs of forces both for and against
the Swing-Johnson Boulder Dam
bin indicated willingness today to
abide by suggestions of the commits
sion for changes in the bill now
pending before the senate, but de-
MED reports that n compromise is
being negotiated.
Senator Johnson, co-author of the
measure and leader of its propon-
entS said he was prepared to amend
the bill along lines suggested by the
commission. He minimiZed the i'm
portance of these changes and said
he did not believe Il substitute bill
would be necessary.
Senator Hayden, Democrat, Ari-
Zona, who helped with the filibuster
against the Boulder Dam bill at the
last session, said he understood the
report substantiatcs Arizona 5 con
tcntion that the Swing ohnson bilr
in its present form is not a feasible
measure.
He was not prepared to say he
would abandon his opposition if all
the commission objections were
met by amendment, but indicated
willingness to abide by the commits
sion decision 50 far as its report
goes.
Smoot Withdraws Statement
He pointed out the commission
was empowered to study only the
economic and engineering feasibility
of the project while Arizona also
objected to it on other grounds.
Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah.
another opponent of the bill, issued
Il statement setting forth the cngi-
nccrs' chief objections to the Swing
johnson plan but later withdrew it,
saving he would delay comment un-
iii the final draft is made public.
The preliminary report is under
stood to uphold the feasibility of 4
high dam such as the Swing-Johnson
bill provides with engineering
changes. 1t places the cost at $4O,-
000, 900 moro than the bin and recon-
mcnds changes in the plan for
amortization.
