When Mrs. Hoover invited Mrs. DePriest,
wife of Chicagos negro Congressman, to social
function at the White House, she created yer
liable tempest in teapot in social circles, es-
pecially in the South. There has been much
comment concerning the incident, which the
South chooses to call precedent; Northerners
generally commenting favorably on Mrs. Hoov-
ers stand and Southerners criticising her severe
ly. The negro Congressman stated the matter as
explicitly as anyone when he said:
It's all a lot of moonshine for anyone
to suggest that a question of social
equality was involved in my wife's going
to the White House tea. My wife was
invited, not because she was white or
black. She was invited because she hap
pened to be the wife of man who was

randum of last October in which
q number of laws supporting the
right of the Commissioners to make
such reviews are cited.
The school board has been seek

the Bureau of the Budget instead
of to the Commissioners for study
and review.
objection was raised about year
ago by the School Board to the
action of the Commissioners in par

submitted. At that time the law
was brought forward which not only
authorizes, but compels the Commits

changes as they deem necessary in
the school budget.

their meeting today are again study

MAY BE
COMMISSION
CHAIRMAN

President Hoover is considering
the appointment of Justice Harlan
F. Stone, of the United States Su-
preme Court, to the chairmanship of
his law enforcement commission, it
was learned authoritativeIy today.
The appointment, however, has not
yet been made, according to one of
the Presidents closest advisers.
The appointment will depend upon
reports to the President on the ques-
ton of the propriety of a Supreme
Court Justice serving the Govern
ment in any other capacity. Under
the law no Government official can
accept two Federal positions with
pay and some of the Presidents
advisers have felt that Stones ap-
pointment would be a violation OF
the spirit of this act.
The President and Justice Stone
have been close personal friends for
many years and Mr.. Hoover has de-
pended upon the jurist for political
advice and administrative help ever
since he attained the Presidency.
The President was reported about
to make a decision which may be-
come known within the next day
or two.

IS n.NS).-Positive denials were
made at rebel headquarters here to-
day that the army under Gen.
F'austo Topete had evacuated Ma
siaca and was retreating north to-
ward Navojoa.
Y. NJ. Nasquez, Mexican consul
at Nogales. AriZ., stated he had
received advices from Mexico City
saying that General Cardenas re-
ported the government forces had
occupied Masiaca without firing a
shot. The federal general also re-
ported, according to NasqueZ. that
federal bands had slipped behind
the rebel lines and burned railroad
bridges in an attempt to check the
rebel retreat.
Rebel headquarters here, however,
stated that General Topete's troops
still held Masaica with his main
army and was awaiting the attack
of the federals. 1t was also stated
that rebal cavalry was continuing
to harass the fIanks of the adyanc-
ing federals.
Reports received here from east
ern Sonora today declared that a
small number of Gen. Juan Andreu
Almazan'S troops had succeeded in
entering Sonora through Carretas

order to attack the rebel guard at
Pulpito Pass from the rear.
