HOOVER KEEPS OUT
OF TARIFF DETAILS
Smoot Says Senate Repub.
Iicans Are Acting Independ-
ent of White House.
BY the Associated Press.

Contrary to suggestions which have
been widely expressed, Chairman Smoot
wants 1t to be known that the Repub-
licanS of the Senate finance committee
are working independently Of the White
House in their present task Of rewriting
the House tariff bill
President Hoover, he says, Is pursuing
a hands of policy, and except that they
are following the general formula for
tariff revision, which he laid down in
his message to the special session Of
Congress, the committee Republicans
are acting independently In their DELHI
erationS.
For Limited Revision.
That general formula called for Tim
tied" revision of the existing Fordney-
McCumber tariff with view particu-
larly to giving greater protection to
agricultural products and to some other
commodities which might be found to
be insuficiently protected against for
eign competition by the schedules OF the
1922 act.
The committeeman so far have made
considerable progress into the House
schedules, including such controversial
items as the proposed increases in the
duties on bricks and cement, but no
word of its specific decisions has been
allowed to escape from its closed meet
ing room.
Information Is General.
All Of the information about rates
which has been allowed to Seep out of
that chamber, in fact, Is of a general
character. This includes the word that
some Of the House increases have been
reduced, that others have been ad-
vanced, and that some decisions have
been reached by close votes. The feel
ing continues to prevail in that vicinity,
however, that the general effect of the
committeemen's work will be a down.

Jamaica, N. Y, today filed in the Dis
trict OF Columbia Supreme Court a suit

cess Of 100000
The plaintiff corporation asserts that

ton April S, 1927, and paid $4,000 in

from the Jenkins Television Corpora
ton, he transferred the money and
assigned the stock to his wife, who
placed them In her name in the Park

torneys Robert H. McNeill and Mae
Helm Of this city and Thomas B. Austin
OF Jamaica appear for the plaintiff.

gust why an injunction should not

Advised of the latest suit, DR.. Jen-
k1nS announced he would advise the
court that the Radio Service Corpora
ton had forfeited any claim to his in
ventions by reason of expiration of an
option contract. He declared he has
letters from officials of the corpora
ton confirming the forfeiture. He de-
MED the allegation he had transferred
to his wife's account proceeds of his
contract with the Jenkins Teleyision
Corporation.
