Freeman told the committee the

"You don't mean to tell me that

Major Hesse, commenting upon

Before Gibson Group
On Gamblers Benefit

Investigation of the alleged gam
blers' benefit midnight show at the
Gayety Theater on January 80, was
begun today by the Gibson subcom-
nnittee of the House District Com
mittee.
Joe Freeman, promoter OF the
show, was the only witness called.
He was questioned closely as to the
business details of the benefit.
Freeman was told by Chairman
Ernest w. Gibson of Vermont that
information had come to the sub
committee stating that the receipts
OF the show were to be used to OBJ
tain a new trial for four men jailed
on gambling charges when they re-
fused to "squeal" on their COM
rades.
Freemen denied he had any idea
of such a purpose before or after
the benefit. He said that he had

The fact that the Gibson group

the situation with many potentialt-

1oeen the only congressional leader
to put in an appearance during the
pre-inaugural vacation here. and he
came by special invitation. He de-
parted fully equipped to detail
Hoover's legislative likes and dis
likes.
Tariff and Farm
Primarily, Smoot is going back
to prepare for the special session
of Congress Hoover will call soon
after March 4. Tariff and farm
reliefs are to be the subjects taken
nm. and because of the vital key
positions they hold in the Presi-
dent.elect,s economic scheme. the
latter is determined they shall be
handled according to his lights.
The message the Utah Senator Is
carving back is that there shall
!. be a general review OF the tariff,
but no general revision.
It was a message with which he
personally had no sympathy -FOUR
DAYS ago. For when he first ar
rived he told the correspondents he
expected a general revision. Just
before his departure. he told them,
however. that only schedules clearly
needing revamping would be touched.
The Whole Policy
That is the Hoover tariff policy,
in fact if he could have it the only
schedules revised would be those
which have direct bearing on farm
relief. He has pointed out to visitors
that the present tariff law is the
most successful the nation has
ever had, that prosperity has been
in effect unfaltering ever since its
adoption, and that any general
change now might have very dis
tressing effect on business.
The President.elect knows, how
ever, he is in for a stiff fight. His
assistants are keeping him con-
stantly in touch with the powerful
lobbys which are springing UP all
over Washington to jam through
tariff increases on virtually every
commodity under the sun. He has
been fully appraised of the on.
slaught that is going to be launched
against the free list.
