Loeb chuckled as he dreamed
how. inside the studio walls, he
would leap out of the box, and,
before the startled casting direc-

to demonstrate his acting ability.

A IL, might have gone well had he
n not started his climatic actions
pren1aturely.
He thought he had made the

covered that he was still in the
express room and that, his reception
committee was not casting directors
and studio officials, but policemen,
big and burly, summoned by the
station agent.
Out fell Loeb, clothed for bust
ness. He wore a stiff collar, check
cred trousers, soft-soled dancing
shoes. a derby hat, a. flowing tie
and his cheeks we're rouged and
his eyes painted.
He was ready for the show, but
found the wrong audience.
His crate lad all the comforts
of a, home. There was q mirror
at the head of the box, A make
up case, a small suit case and a
fashlight were found.

He said it had been a pretty
hard trip, but he was cheered up
when told that Harry Leayitt, as
sistant general manager CT the
studio, thought his stunt certainly
was unique and was going to help
him out"
Loeb said his trip nearly ended
before it had got fairly under way
when someone in the Chicago
station stood him on his head for
four hours in spite Of the fact that
he purposedly had pointed the
ends of the crate.

House Republican leaders have in
formed President-elect Hoover that they
will be ready to transact business at a
special session about April 10.
Previously April Is had been the date
generally mentioned.
Representative Tiison of Connecticut,
the Republican floor leader announced
that he had suggested this date to MIR
Hoover, who had expressed a willing
ness to abide by the judgment of the
congressional leaders Mr.. TilSon said
the farm relief bill would be ready
about April 10 and that the tariff re-
vision measure probably would be com
pleted for House consideration 10 DAYS
later.
Therefore. he said. the prospects are
that farm relief will be considered ahead
of the tariff.
Tilson said the agriculture measure
would require only about a weeks con
sideration in the House. The tariff
measure probably would require from
three weeks to a month. he said
The Republican leader would not pre-
dict the possible length of the specia.
session.
Tilson said he thought the Senate a,
the opening Of the special session might
go ahead with an agricultural bill, but
he believed the House should originate
the measure.
Il think the tariff bill will be very
carefully drawn" he added. I'VE are
not going to run wild on this as some
have been trying to make the people
believe. have heard of no disposition
on the part OF any members Of the
ways and means committee to do this. -

NEW YORK, February 2s.-Govern-
ment counsel announced today that aft
err almost two years Of litigation, the
fight of the United States to break up
operation Of the so-called Franco-Ger-
man potash trust In this country had
ended, and all relief sought had been
obtained.
Although the dispute did not get into
the courts until April, 1927. differences
developed between foreign producers
and American consumers of potash two
years before when charges were made
in Congress that a foreign monopoly
was preparing to add several dollars to
the cost Of potash to the American
farmer. Ninety per cent of 100000
tons of potash used In this country an
nually is imported from France and
Germany.
When suit for an injunction was fled
in 1927. the Government charged that
the German and French firms were di-
viding the sale of potash in this coun-
try. fixing prices, and had agreed TO Sc
lect single exclusive selling agency
for their product in the United States
Sixteen defendants were named in the
suit. which was the first growing out, in
part. from the provisions of the Wilson
tariff act. This act was aimed to ex-
tend the prohibitions OF the Sherman
antitrust law to activities in the
United States Of agents Of foreign COM
panies.

tor Argue at Hearing Of
Patronage Group.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Brookhart of the Senate
patronage committee and Fl. B. Creagsr,
Republican national committeeman for
Texas, engaged today at committee
hearing In spirited argument over the
merits of the latter's organizat ton
methods In Texas. Brookhart charac-
terized the Creager Republican ergani-
zation as the most autocratic" system
he ever had heard of.
Creager. who had been explaining a
method of accepting contributions from
party workers on promissory note
basis, declared that Brookhart was
'prejudiced."
Its not your part to pass on our or
ganization.' he shouted,
1T is Brookhart retorted, and it's
just what am going to do
You are not going to interfere in
my State" Creager declared. and
Brookhart replied that You won't run
any blur on me-"
"I'm not trying to run a bluff"
Creager said.
At another point in Creager's read
ing Of a prepared statement he paused,
while attempting to refute testimony
given by Representative Wurzbach, the
only Republican member of Congress
from Texas, to say, There are a num-
Der of men In Congress who ought not

in that category,
Creager began his statement by pro-
testing against the character Of testi-
mony which this committee has been
admitting and which, because of its
privileged nature, has been broadcast
