HOOVER D|SM|SSES
ATTORNEY De GROOT
Prosecutor Who Refused to
Resign Summarily Dis
charged by President.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
William A. De Groot, who has re-
peatedly refused to resign as United
States attorney for the eastern New
York district. has been summariiy dis
missed from Office by President Hoover.
He is the third district attorney
forced out of Office since Attorney Cen
eral Mitchell undertook to comply with
the Presidents desire for increased eff
cheney in the Government service and
initiated The Nationwide survey of
prosecuting attorneys Offices, which is
still in progress.
The other two, however. submitted
their designations in compliance with
requests from the Attorney General.
They we're John Cook. United States
attorney for the southern district Of
Mississippi, and William A. Gober OF
the southern district of Florida.
Refused Sargent Request.
President Hoovers support of his
Attorney Generals procedure was dem
onStrated when Cook come to Washing
ton to see him, but without success.
De Groots resignation was first re-
queSted during administration of the
Department of Justice by former At
torney General Sargent. That request
was made January g. 1929. Mitchell
informed the President. and was re-
fused. The new Attorney General re-
peated it April g. His letter. he told
Mr.. Hoover, was ignored. and the re-
quest was renewed April "a, being re-
fused again by De Groot in a telegram
sent five days later.
Acting on Mitchell's recommended
ton and his statement of the situation.
President Hoover wrote yesterday to
De Groot:
You are hereby removed from the
office Of United States attorney, eastern
district Of New York, effective imme-
diately.'
Denied Further Hearing.
He thus also rejected De Groot's re-
quest for a public hearing. Mitchell
having told him that hearing had
been held under Sargent and that "it
would be waste Of time to comply
with Mr. De Groots request for any
further hearing"
There seems to be no difference of
opinion among judges, members of the
bar or officials or attorneys in the De-
partment of Justice" the Attorney
General wrote, las to the existence Of
unsatisfactory conditions in Mr. De
Groot's Office and as TO the necessity
for supplanting him by a competent
and reliable man who will thoroughly
reorganize the Office and make imme-
date and extensive changes in the
personnel"

GERMAN ATTITUDE CHANGES.
Berlin Favors Continuation of Dawes
Plan for Present.

BERLIN. May CE).-Dr Hjalmar
Schacht expressed the opinion. prior
to his departure for Paris last night.
that no offer he could make Germany's
creditors could serve as a basis for
permanent settlement Of the repara-
tionS problem.
Even a provisional solution" which
official circles favored for long time.
no longer seemed satisfactory and Ger
man officialdom was inclined TO the
view that it was better to have the
Dawes plan continue than to accept
provisional settlement with its new I'M
certainties.
1t was said this change of attitude
was due TO the realization that any pro-
visional solution TO be acceptable to the
allies must entail giving up the transfer
protection guaranteed In the Dawes
plan.

Auto Law Held Failure.

Compulsory automobile insurance in
Massachusetts, on the basis of two
years experience. has failed to prove a
success. it was charged by e. c. Stone
of Boston. He added that the disSatis-
faction Of the people with the law is
evidenced by the 40 bills now before
the State Legislature for the repeal or
material amendment Of the law. Others
stressed the point that the Massachu-
sets experiment has failed to reduce
accidents and pointed out that laws
which promoted safety and prevented
injuries we're preferable to legislation
seeking to compensate the injured after
an accident had occurred.
Despite every effort to reduce street
and highway accidents, $1,000 persons
were killed and probably 100000 were
injured last year, James T. Haviland of
Philadelphia declared in discussing the
future work to be undertaken by the
chamber looking to accident prevention.
There is. however. he added, an en-
couraging diminution in the number Of
children involved in such accidents, al
though the number of adults killed and
injured shows little reduction.

Remarkable Old Maps
Preserved at London

Maps are always very interesting
things, and when one traces them back
to their origin In the early days OF the
Egyptian and Greeks, 1t Is wonderful
to realize how long this form of skill
has been In existence, for even as long
ago as about 200 B. c., the first ideas
of mapping were beginning to form,
and the art went slowly on down the
ages, until In 1892, the first globe was
constructed. just after the discovery
of America.
At an exhibition at the Science mn-
scum, In London recently. some won
derful old maps we're to be seen.
Amongst others, was the map made by
Captain Cook OF Botany bay, in ITO.

On Three Wheels

Three wheeled trucks are being ex-
tensively introduced In London for the
delivery OF freiAlt and merchandise.
They are much more mobile than the
four-wheeled kind and seem to answer
most purposes. A car can almost be
turned In It's own length and the pill
ability of the truck in congested park
ing Is wonderful. The three-wheeled
truck was tried here years ago, but
was never able to make a hit. 1t

looking at anyhow.-Los Angeles

TRADING ON CURB
TURNS IRREGULAR
Various Groups Show HeaW-
ness as Profit Taking
Appears.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 25.-After
opening active and lower the curb
market today, in its first full 5-hour
session since November 4, quoted and
continued irregular.
Utilities and mining shares were first
to display heaviness. Aviation issues
moved lower next, with motors follow
ing them. A majority of the oils were
better at the opening, but encountered
some profit taking as the session prog
ressed. Specific development affected
industrials.
Earl Radio was one of the features
in early trading, A block of 25.600
shares of Earl, the only large block in
the forenoon, came out at 70 off Ia
from its previous close. The company
was placed in receivership Saturday.
The stock at times got as low as q,
which contrasts with 1914, its high
earlier in the year. holster conducted
merger negotiations with the company
put these were broken of more than a
month ago.
Formation Of the Federal Neon Sys-
tenn. Inc, and the issuance of S10,-
10000 OF securities in connection with
the acquisition by that company of Fed
eral Electric Co., Rainbow Luminous
Products, Inc, and National Neon
Agency, caused activity and strength
at times in Rainbow Luminous issues.
Anglo-American Oil Co., whose shares
have been feature in London markets
recently, at intervals was active and
higher on the reported exchange of its
shares for Standard Oil of New Jersey.
These reports. however, have not been
officially confirmed
Colgate-Palmolive, which was to be
the keystone in a merger of Kraft
Phentx Cheese, Hershey Chocolate and
others, responded to an increased divi-
dend.
Possibility of a cut in the price of
copper, which meets with vigorous de-
mails by producers, but is affirmed by
consumers, created irregularity in min
ing shares.
One of the features of the trading In
tndustrials was the appearance of a
number of inactive stocks. Quaker Oats,
for instance, came out at 220 and the
next sale was 215. Responding to the
price advance in cement announced by
several companies, Atlas Portland Ce-
ment opened higher.
Cash transactions in cents per share
in TranSamerica rights constituted one
OF the most active spots in trading
companies. Goldman Sachs, after open
ing slightly higher, dropped more than
2 points and regained part of that loss
in the early part Of the session.
