VESSEL IS MISSING
AFTER CALL FOR AID
SOS Off Southern California Coast
Heard Last Night, Search
Still Being Made.
BY the Associated Press.

by the AbSOClAIcu EEGoos y
SAN PEDRO, Calf, November g.
Maritime and naval authorities still
were searching today for ship reported
to have broadcast an S o S call OF
the Southern California coast last night.
Commercial broadcasting was halted
when the mine sweeper Ortolan reported
it was going to the aid of ship af1re
of the coast near Encinitas, but no
further distress signals were reported.
The marine exchange radio here and
the Point Iona Naval Sta ion at San
Diego did not hear the reported S o s,
but said they had been HORNED from
various sources that ship tried re-
peatedly to break through the COM
mercial broadcast with distress signals.
All vessels cruising along the coast
were asked by the marine radio station
here to keep a sharp watch between
here and San Diego. Belief grew that
the reported distress signals may have
come from fishing vessel, many of
whom carry small radio outfits to report
their catches to shore.

STOCK CRASH MAY
AID RAIL MERGER
President Likely to Take Ini-
tiative to Bring About
Legislation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Railroad consolidation which has beer
dragging along for years may at las
be achieved as a consequence Of the
recent stock market decline.
Many of the roads have been delaying
expansion because they did not know
what the Government would permit III
the way of consolidation. Some of them
have been in the position of wishing
10 learn definitely one way or the Other
whether consolidation as policy was
likely to come into effect.
Now, with the anxiety Of everybody
here to do everything possible to Sus-
tain the momentum of business, the
sentiment of the transportation prob
lens of the country unquestionably will
be accelerated. This Is not merely be-
cause railroad expansion plans will in
crease the need for raw material ard
labor, but because it is still hoped that
economies may be effected in freight
rates through the elimination OF waste
full competition
Most of the larger railroads are not
in need of new financing, but If the
consolidation plans should require the
flotation of new issues of bonds the bet
ter condition Of the money market
which now prevails and is likely to con.
tinue for several months, is counted
upon to assist materially in bringing
about railway consolidation.
Hoover May Take Part
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is expected to have its plan ready
before the end of this calendar year
This will mean discussion in Congress
almost Immediately and it would not be
surprising TO find President Hoover tax
ing the initiative in trying to bring
about an agreement on early legislation
Under other circumstances the con-
solidatiou controversy would hardly
have received much attention in the
coming session of Congress. Many rail-
road executives have themselves lost
interest in the matter. Now, however,
If Congress should tackle the question
as part of program of helping bust-
ness. party lines would disappear and a
favorable disposition toward taking some
action might be expected.
Voluntary Consolidation.
There is no way, of course, by which
roads can be compelled to amalgamate
against their will and minority stock
holders will be able to insist upon fair
valuation of their holdings. The prob
lens are innumerable and they turn
really upon the opportunities for vol
untary consolidation which Congress
will open up If it takes any action at
all on a program of consolidation.
The whole subject has some political
background because the Representa-
tives and Senators from certain regions
may feel that new terminals will be es-
tablished affecting the Importance of
cities containing present terminals. All
this will have to be threshed out before
action can be taken, but the significant
thing is that the Interstate Commerce
Commission is about to make its re-
port at a time when Congress is in the
mood to go earnestly into the entire
question.

Increase i'm Tariff
On Salad Bowls Held
Justified by Reed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A set of salad bowls was ex-
hibited in the Senate yesterday to
answer statements that higher
tariff would impose a burden on
the American housewife.
Holding up the bowls, Senator
Reed, Republican, Of Pennsyl-
vania, said they were produced in
Germany for 43 cents. To this
he added 80 cents for transpor-
tation and payment of the pres
ent duty, bringing the total
landed cost here to rs cents, and
said the set was sold by New
York department store for $3.50.
"Still it's pretended" the Penn
sylvanian said, that an addi-
tional duty of cents would hurt
the consumer"
The increase was voted down
three days ago by the coalition of
Democrats and Republican in
dependents.

TARIFF CLEAVAGE
MAY CARRY OVER
Administration Leaders Won
der if Senate Split viii Go
Into Regular Session.

DJ INC ASSOClaIeu ETeSS.
The tariff struggle most probably will
carry into the regular session of Con-
gress beginning next month and admin
istration leaders are beginning to Won
der if the deep schism in the Repub-
lican ranks of the Senate on the farm
relief and the tariff proposals of Presi-
dent Hoover is going to continue, too.
Hopes for Passage About Gone.
"Out of the trenches by Christmas"
is the cry now being heard as the weary
Senators plug determinedly away on
the tariff bill. Hopes for passage of the
measure by the Senate befo e December,
when the regular session of Congress
opens. have about been abandoned.
looking for some sort of respite be-
fore the long grind on regular legisla-
ton begins, Senators on both sides of
the aisle are beginning to figure on an
adjournment of the special session.
Indications, however, point to an ad-
journment only over the week end Of
Thanksgiving day.
Whether the Senate finally disposes
Of the tariff bill before Thanksgiving
day, the ensuing conferences between
the Senate and House over an adjust
ment of their differences on this legiS-
lation seem destined to extend into
next year, and the tariff is now looked
upon as a necessary item on the regular
session program.
Meanwhile, the firmly united band of
Western Republican independents, who
stood together through the farm relief
contest and in the tariff struggle in
opposition to the Hoover policies, is
holding the balance of power in the
Senate. With almost solid Democratic
support this coalition virtually is writing
the tariff bill.
Ware Question Is Up.
Going into the regular session. the
Senate will have to lay aside the tariff
for a few days, il it Is not already passed
by then, to determine the right of VIII
liam s.. Ware of Pennsylvania to a Sen
ate seat. 1t has agreed to take up the
Ware case at the start of the next ses-
sion. At least, week is expected to be
occupied with this three-year row.
With Ware and the tariff before the
Senate, program carrying it at least
until Christmas Is mapped out. The
House by that time will have the first
of the many annual appropriation bills
over to the Senate.
In disposing yesterday of the contest
on the manganese ore tariff rate, the
Senate put behind it one of the high
points of controversy IN the tariff leg
fslation. BY a vote of 60 to 18 duty
of / cent a pound was placed upon
manganese, whereas the finance COM
mittee proposed to place this product,
used in the steel industry, on the free
list The lineup showed the West and
South almost solid in opposition to the
industrial East, with the latter group
mastering only Is votes.
