 "A year ago." he said, 'I did feel some alarm over the situation, but time has not borne out our fears.

PARKER STRIKES BACK AT zOCCO'S CHAMPION
Commissioner Criticizes Casale for Police
 Board Attack

Striking back at Attorney s. Ger ard Casale for his criticism of the board of police commissioners with relation to the Zocco case, Commis. sioner Edwin A. Parker a member of the committee on rules and disci- pline, stated today that the admis- sions made by Zocco while under in terrogation by the committee were such as to stamp him as entirely unfit to be a member of the police department"
 The attorney, in his letter. ac- cuses the commissioners of being un American because we did not face Zocco with his accuser," Commits sioner Parker said. Yet, he pro- Ceeds to condemn us without taking the trouble to learn our side of the case. All he knows about 1t is what Zocco told him. He does not know what came out at the hearing, and I would be willing to predict that any three men in this city, of average intelligence, would do as we did without hesitation if they heard Zocco's story.
 ''Disregarding Mrs. Harrigan's sworn statement, and the accusations made by Mrs. Bazylewicz against Zocco, his admissions alone were sufficient to justify the revocation of his appointment"
 Commissioner Parker said he was positive that Zocco made no re- quest of the commissioners for postponement of his hearing, which he claimed to have done. in his at- torney's statement to the press this week. "I do not know whether or not we woud have granted a post ponement, but l am sure he made no mention of it." the commission CT said.
 Zocco. who was appointed su- pernumerary officer in June. 1925. was suspended twice. and the police board voted Tuesday night to revoke his appointment. which they haze the power to do under the city or dinance which makes the board the sole judge of cause.

DENVER INfORMER
 TAKEN FOR 4 RIDE
Body of Man Who Testified Against Sheriff Found
 in Field

Denver, May II R>-The body of Joe Clark, Denver police character SMd chief witness for the govern- ment against Walter Johnson, sheriff of Jefferson county. recently indicted for conspiracy to violate the prohibi- tion law. was found in field. six miles north of Denver yesterday. He had been shot to death.
 District Attorney Joel Stone and Denver police officers who investi- gated the staying expressed the opin- ion that Clark had been taken for . ride" A cursory examination re- vealed four bullet wounds in his body. two of which evidently had en- tered from the back. Detectives eN- pressed the belief Clark was shot while endeavoring to escape from his captors.
 Sheriff Johnson was indicted a month ago on conspiracy charges faid to have been the outgrowth of testimony given the federal grand jury by Clark, who at the time of his death was facing state charge of operating a still.
 Because Clark was a government witness att1ches of the department Of justice joined with Jefferson and Denver county police officials in seeking the siayers.

PLANS
 SOUTHERN TOUR Hopes to Make Extended Jour.
 ney This Fall ITINERARY NOT ARRANGED Texas Extends Invitations and So DO Louisiana, Mississippi. Tcnnes- sec. Georgia and CarOlinas.
BY JAMES l.. WEST


Associated Press Staff Writer
 Washington, May II Hh-Presi- dent Hoover contcmplates a tour of the south and is hopeful that the administrative and legislative situ- ation will be ceared up sufficiently so that he can absent himself from the capital for an appreciab'e length of time this fall.
 His trip through Dixie will be separate from the journey he is to make to the West Indies for visits to Cuba. Porto Rico and perhaps some other islands. He hopes to be able thus to round out his good will tour of Latin America within year.
 While the ininerary of the south- ern trip as yet has not even ap- preached the formulative stage. f will carry him as far southwest as Texas. which he has been urged to visit ever since his election. He had considered going there upon the re- turn from South America. but found that time would not permit.
 Texas Inv1t0teOnS
 Formal invitations have come to the president from the chambers of commerce of Dallas, Fort Worth. and Houston. where the democratic national convention was held last year. and expectation is that he will arrange his schedule so as to visit all three of these places.
 Naturally he will want to revisit the scenes of his flood relief work on the Mississippi two years ago, and so is expected to include Louisi- ana, Mississippi. TennAsee and per- haps Arkansas in his schedule. Ten nessee is the only one of these states he has visited since his nomination for the presidency.
 Invitations also are before the chief executive to visit Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia and Alabama. and if possi- ble he will make stops in all of those commonwealths. He passed through the first four states going to and returning from his pre-inaugural visit to Florida. but his special trains made only necessary stops. many of them at night.
 Asked to UnveilinE
 One Of the latest invitations from the south to reach Mir. Hoover IS that from the American Legion at Birmingham to visit that city in No- for the unveiling of a World War memorial. He has that under but is unlikely to reach any decision on that or other re- quests to attend specific events un-

 He estimated a $40 suit of clothes would retail for $50. !: shirt would sell for $2.5O: SIS SILK dress would cost $50; rayon under garments now $l piece would cost SIPS and women's silk stockings now costing sl.50, would jump to $500, when the bill passes.
 "Under the present tariff act wool duties cost the consumers S9l,O0o.- 900 year," Rainey said. The pending measure increases the wool en duty 10 per cent with compen- satory rates for production. This will increase the consumers cost at least S1O,OOO,0O0 a year.

 "Because of the rates on cement. lumber and shingles it will be dif- ficult for people to build their own homes" Rainey continued. Take for example the building of a $l0,- 900 house; because of the tariff the cost will jump to about S12.500.

FEAR SHOWDOWN
 ON TARIFF BILL House Republican Majority Shows Signs of Brelkine Up TILS0N ISSUES STATEMENT
President Hoover Meets Sc<Oad De- feat When Sessate Votes to Limit salary Of Farm Board Chair, man.

Washington, May II (UP)-Cn- willing to face a showdown yet. house leaders let general tariff .ie- bate run into its third day today while the senate took a rest pre- paratory to . vote Monday on the farm bill.
 The strong republican majority in the house showed signs of breaking up over the tariff just as the ad- ministration majority in the senate broke up disastrously over the debenture plan this week. A major. ity caucus late yesterday disclosed the leaders would face stiff opposi- tion within their own ranks to tine tight program they had formulated for putting the tariff measure through under pressure within 10 days.
 Farm bloc members manifested q growing dissa :isfaction with the in. <. creased rates on sugar, machinery and utensils which their farmers must buy. The Michigan delegation held 8 caucus and was unable to reach . decision as to whether 1t would support the bill. The Penn sylvanians, in caucus. were inclined to capitulatc. even though they did not get all they wanted in the mat ter of increased duties.
 TtlsOn Issues Statement
 An effort to appease the dissatis- fled elements was made by Majority Leader Tilson and Chairman Shell of the rules committee. Tilson issued statement that pressure on the bill would be eased on the floor and offering of amendments would be permitted. Shell proposed & rule suggesting final vote by May p but adhering to Tilson's offer.
 Objection to the. bill were so strong, however that leaders thought it best not to insist on any definite program of debate at this time. They may let general debate run on to the middle of next week before deciding how to handle what appears to be an extremely embar- rassing situation. Their general caucus. therefore, adjourned without action.
 If the bill is opened for amend ments. the farm bloc will stage 2 Saeoreus fight Nn the floor to cut down the three cents . pound sugar rate and some of the other indus- trial increases. at the same time seeking to increase rates of asricul- tural products If the high pressure rules are applied to subdue them. they plan to bolt to the democrats and ditch the administration bill.
 Administration leaders in the sen. ate have come. battered. through just the situation the house leaders appear to he facing
 A Second Defeat
 A second defeat for President Hoover's most ardent supporters was suffered late yesterday when the senate voted 46 to B to limit the salary of the federal farm board chairman to S12.OO0 a year. Mr. Hoover had anticipated selecting a man whose experience would de-
