Series Of Meetings to Be Held Instead Of One Small Con-
 prehenSiVe Conference
EASTERN RAILROAD MEN
 CALLED FOR TOMORROW
Farming, and Labor Leaders to Have Turn Later in Weck-Hopcs to Banish Business pessimism Without Creating "su- pcr-OrganiAation' Stimulation of Public and Private Building.

Washington, Nov is CP)-Thc na- tion's foremost bankers, industrial leaders, labor spokcsmen, and farm representatives will journey to Washington this week at the call of President Hoover to assist him in devising plans for stabilizing Amcri- can business and expanding it's ac-. tiyities.
 Abandonng his original scheme of one small conference to include rep rcscntatives of all these fields, the chief executive has arranged q series of meetings to be held from day to day, each attended by men promi- nently identified with some particu- lar phase of economic cndcavor.
 Tomorrow. Mir, Hoover will confer with presidents of the great eastern railroads: on Wednesday,. officials of the United States Chamber of Com merce and leaders of industry and manufacturing will be called in; on Thursday, Spokcsmcn for the lead ing farm organizations will assem- ble with the president; and later he will meet with the leaders of Amer ican labor.
 Hope to Bani>h PcsSimi,m
 As an important result. the chief executive hopes to dissolve and hanish any pcssimism to busi- ness conditions. which he considers omphatically sound. to obViatc any ill effects that might arise from the recent and extensive decline in Sc curity prices and to stimulate into high activity those few fields of business that fell behind during thc boom and collapse of the stock market.
 The president expects to accom- plish this purpose by working through existing and recognized agencies and sees no necessity for creating some super organization 10 put it's shoulder behind the pro ioct. To coordinate the plans cvolv- cd by the group conferences. general meetings such as he planned at first can be held.
 Mr. Hoover looks 10 organizations such as the United States Chamber of Commerce, the American Fcdcrd- ton of Labor. the American Railway Association, the American Bankers Association and the various farm or ganizations 10 make full use of their present machinery in achieving the results he has outlined.
 Eastern Rail Men Called
 Because of the shortncsS Of time, only the heads of the eastern rail- roads arc to attend tomorrow's s2s- sion.
 Secretary Lamont and other off Cials of the commerce department will attend Wednesdays conference of industrial leaders, which is also to include representatives of the financial and public utilities fields.
 Especial attention will be paid 10 the possibility Of stimulating exports when the agricultural leaders gather with the president on Thursday. The meeting will be attended by Secrc- tarv Hyde of the agriculture depart- ment and Chairman Lcgge of the federal farm board.
 No precise date has been fixed for the meeting of labor spokosmcn which is to follow.

san Francisco, Nov. IS UP)- Heroism of l2o nurses. doctors and volunteers prevented another Cleve- land clinic disaster today in the University of California hospital when fire. originating in the N-ray room, swept the structure in the gray hours of dawn
 The rescuers, lodging shooting flames. carried every terrified pa ticnt from the building and shortly, thereafter the fire was brought un- der control, No one was injured ser icusly.
 Phone Girl Notices Fire
 Two hundred patients were in tho hospital when Juanita Costenborder. telephone operator stationed across the hall from the N-ray room, mo- iced the cracking flames and sounded a general alarm.
 Doctors, nurses and volunteers de- fled gas and flames emanating from films in the N-ray section and car ried the 194 patients to hall in the rear Of the building.
 The rcscuers concentrated on get ting the patients from the cots, wrapping them in the first material that presented itself and rushing them through the flames and gas Bremen meanwhile poured stream after stream of water into the fam ing building that cut great crim- son dash into the cold mist of the carly morning.
 After the fire was controlled and the patients removed to safety. uni- vers:ty authorities took stock of the, material damage and estimated it at $250.00d.
 Before the flames finally wcro subdued. dozen feats of heroism were performed.
 Stan Highly Praised
 The fact that no lives were lost probably was due to the cool work Of the nurses, aided by the doctors on duty, Charles Brennan. fire chief, told reporters. Directed by Rather inc Pores. the nurses went about the rescue calmly. systematically car rying the patients out of danger. First they took those who were ser iously ill, then those not so i'll and finally the Convalcscents.
