WAGNER DEMANDS
 EMPLOYMENT LAW
New York Senator Plays Hoover
 for Alleged Inaction

Washington, Dec. II LPi-Legisla- ton to prevent future unemployment was demanded today by Senator Wagner, democrat, New York.
 Addressing the senate, he criticized President Hoover for not presenting permanent program for controlling the effects of slack business.
 Public Dissatisfied
 "One of the most clearly legible expressions to be found in the cleo tion returns" he said, lis wide spread public disapproval of the ad ministration's method or rather lack of method, of dealing with unem- ployment."
 The New York senator quoted the president as saying in his annual message: Tt is yet too soon to con- structively formulate permanent legislation and said this plea for delay is but an apology for previous inaction."
 we opened this session under the happy auspices of promised cooper ation between the two sides of this chamber and between the legislature and the executive" he continued.
 Does Not Encourage Delay
 'To me that meant joint effort in making lasting contribution to the overshadowing problem of our gen. cration. It did not occur to me that 1t might mean acquiescence in a policy of further delay and inac- tion.''
 Wagner said he was not opposed to the relief measures now pending. But I plead for a better way in the future" he said. "A place on the bread line is. after all, an unkind and ungenerous reward to the work men who have made our country
 He urged the enactment of his bills to prevent unemployment. which passed the senate last session.

RAILROAD EXPENSES CUT

Waterloo. Ia, Dec. II LP-C. D. Morris of Chicago. member of the Western Railways committee on public relations, said in an address prepared for delivery today that western railroads reduced their eX- penditures for maintenance s75,o0O,- 900, during the first nine months Of 1886 in comparison with the same period of 1929. He spoke before the Lions club.
 Most of this reduction in cX- penditures is but a post ponement Of maintenance work and not permanent economy" he said, The work must be done eventually and postponement of it is likely to make it cost more than if it were done when first needed"
 The reduction was necessary in order to enable many railroads to earn their fixed charges and will have to be continued until the rail- road revenues increase.

NAV|GAT0RS USE
 MORE STATISTICS
Photographic Office Finds AVia-
 ton Greatly Increases Work

Washington, Dec. II Pp-More information for the safe guidance of navigators of sea and air was re- leased by the hydrographic office of the navy during 1880 than any other year in the history of the organiza- tion.
 Charts of sea lanes and currents, prevalence of icebergs, depths of oceans, rivers and lakes, compass variations, air conditions at and above sea level-all were dealt with
 So great was the output that Rear Admiral w. k. Gehrardi, in his annual report today asked for more men and greater space.
 A weekly notice to mariners was sent all over the world to keep sea- men acquainted with dangers to navigation. Staff men translated the notices into Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
 Naval aviation required 22,909 special air charts, 15,OOO more than the year before.
 The Photographic office celebrat- ed the tooth anniversary of it's founding last Saturday.

legislation for the welfare of the country. Attempts today were in prospect to limit through amend ments, the chief executives discre- tionary power under the public works legislation.
 Expected Amended Bill
 The house expected an amended and reduced bill for drought relief to be presented during the day and meanwhile worked again on the in terior appropriations bill.
 In speaking on the presidents re- marks, which he ascribed to loss of temper, Robinson took occasion to defend his own party leadership. against which there had been some grumbling since he signed the post election pledge of cooperation. He told what was contained in cor respondence between himself and the president, following that pledge.
 "1 thought the correspondence should have been published in view of the fact that it was taken as an l 1 tool of the White House." he obscrv- cd. This he followed with an ap- peal for action in behalf of the country, invoking wider program of relief. financed if necessary by an issue of bonds or by an increase of taxes.
 Protocol Presented
 Meantime the senate had still an- other cause of sore feelings thrust upon it, in the transmission by the president of the protocols of ad- herence to the world court. Chair man Borah of the foreign relations committee will bring up the proto- col at the regular session of the group. next Wednesday, with the in tenton of reporting it soon after the holidays. Other republicans want it held off until the next session. and apparently no one sees chance Of action at this brief term.
 The holidays. incidentally. are be- ginning to worry the administrd- ton leaders. Leaders in the house are seeking an agreement with the senate on a recess from Christmas eve to January ?. They fear, how ever, a 15 day vacation is to be ex pected.
 Presentation of the world court issue, accompanied by the preSi dents request for consideration as soon as the necessary relief and de partment supply bills have passed, was made the occasion for another condemnation Of the court by Sem ator Johnson, republican, California.
 Said the president:
 "The provisions of the protocols free us from any entanglements Tn the diplomacy of other nations. We cannot be summoned before this court. we can from time to time seek it's services by agreement with other nations. These protocols per init our withdrawal from the court at any time without reproach of ill., will"
 In reply Senator Johnson said If i've ever have the misfortune to join" an attempted WlthdraWal would bring such an avalanche oi abuse and criticism abroad and at home as to make the retirement vir- tually impossible.

Partnership of Capital
 And Labor Is Forecast

Philadelphia, Dec. II (uP)-An age of partnership" between capital and labor. in which the interests Of each will best be served, is forecast for the near future by Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Canadian National Railways.
 Tt is obvious that capital as ap- piled to production becomes quite useless unless accompanied by la bor," Sir Henry said in an address before the Franklin institute last night. Both are equally essential for economical and efficient produc- ton. One cannot proceed far with out the other. Dissatisfaction on the part of one or the other interferes with the smooth running of the whole"

FILIPINO STUDENT
 DEMANDS MONEY
Wants to Be Paid for Defending
 Himself in Two Trials

Cleveland, Dec. II UP)-Braul law student whose activities have twice entangled him with the law, today appeared before Common Pleas Judge Samuel H. Silbert and demanded he be remunerated by the county for conducting his own de- fense.
 Acquitted several months ago on charges of passing worthless checks, Gancayco was later tried on similar charges and the jury disagreed.
 As the attorney representing him self. the Filipino said his client would plead guilty to the charge if sentence would be suspended and he be permitted 10 return to the Phil ippines. On the other hand, should another trial be necessary and he be forced to remain in county jail. Gan cayco would become "a sinister en- emy to society, a veritable Flu Man chu or pr. Moriarty," his attorney half said. He was allowed to post $500 bend and was released pending disposition of the question.
 Today, he unexpectedly appeared before Judge Silbert and demanded money. He was his own lawyer in both trials, he affirmed, and law yers get money. If defendant can not afford one, it is the sacred duty Of the court to employ-and com pensate-one. he said.
 "Obviously," reasoned GancayCo, the county owes me attorney fees for defending myself at the two trials. "It is fair debt and besides both of us-myself, personally, and my legal self-are broke. Fifty dol lars for each trial will be sufficient"
 The court promised to consider the claim.

FOURTEEN HELD
 IN IBANEZ PLOT
Professors, Students, Lawyers
 and Merchants Under Arrest

Santiago de Chile, Dec. II (R}- Government police today held fl persons, numbering among them professors, students, lawyers and merchants, in connection with the attempt on the life of President Colonel Carlos lbanez Tuesday night.
 Fifteen persons originally were arrested but one of these was found to be a government agent who had worked himself into the group of conspirators. A government press bulletin described the plot to bomb the presidential train as it neared Santiago from southern trip as de- veloped by "a number of high per sons, in conjunction with anar- ChiStS."
 Six Arrested on Site
 Armed with inside knowledge of development of the conspiracy the government allowed it to proceed until a large charge of dynamite actually was placed under the bridge over the Rio Maipo. 30 kilo- meters from Santiago. Government agents stepped in and arrested six persons on the site and a seventh who was waiting nearby in an auto mobile. Seven accomplices were rounded Up in Santiago later
 The seven ringleaders were named 1lIc l Alonso Mendez, student; Hector Saavedra Lopez, student; Herman Larraeuibel, bank employee; Raul Palazuelos, law student; Alberto Pepper Castellon, architectural stu dent, and Fernando Maira Castellon, lawyer.

DORIAN SAYS NEW
 PLAN AIDS WORK
Denaturant to Halt Bootleg Scheme Medicinal Stock Low

Washington, Dec. 11.-UP)- New and stricter regulations govern ing industrial alcohol and the dis Covery of a non-poisonous denaturant will soon reduce diversion of such alcohol by bootleggers to negligible proportions, Industrial Alcohol Commissioner James NJ. Doran pre- dicted today.
 The new regulations are now be- ing drafted by the treasury and jus tice departments jointly and will be issued this month, Doran said. He added they will make it harder than ever for bootleggers to obtain gov ernment denatured alcohol for their purposes.
 Ends Three Years Work
 Development of the new denatur- ant, known as alcotate, is the re- suit of three years research work In government laboratories. The compound, said to taste like Spoiled eggs and garlic,' is to take the place of wood alcohol in all govern ment formulae now using that poison.
 Doran announced today also that he expects soon to issue permits for manufacture next year of an- other 200O,00O gallons of whiskey for medicinal purposes. This .manu- facture was authorized this year for the first time since federal prohibi- ton in order to replenish the na- tion's depleted medicinal whiskcy stock
 Whiskey manufactured for medi- before the law permits it's use. There is now on hand a stock of about B. 100000 gallons, or four years supply. Six distillerics obtained permits to produce the 2,00O,000 gallons of rye and bourbon made this year.
 The same distilleries will probab- ly he selected for the 1881 manu- facture.
 More Money to he Spent
 Additional funds are to be spent by the industrial alcohol bureau next year in patrolling alcohol plants and bonded warehouses to prevent di- version of any part of the 100. .00O,- 0ho gallons of commercial alcohol produced annually. The appropria- ton was increased by s529,00O to total of s4.33S.000 to permit en- ployment of 200 extra inspectors.
 Industrial alcohol is used mostly in making automobile anti-freeZe llIti Ia consumed also by the paint and varnish and allied industries. The government denatures all this al cohol in such a way as to make 1t unfit for beverage purposes. In the past, wood alcohol and other poisons have been used in denaturing formulae. The new formula is ex- pected by Doran to make possible elimination of all poisons.
 Approved by Dry Groups
 The non- poisonous denaturant ap- proved at the closing session yester- day of the national conference of or ganiZations supporting the 18th amendment, attended by representa- tives of 34 temperance organizations.
 Prohibition Director Amos w. w. Woodcock attended the closing meet ing and was questioned for more than an hour about enforcement. He said he had asked the dry leaders for their cooperation toward meet ing the non- commercial violation problem through a campaign of education.'

CABINET CRISIS IN
 DIFFICULT STAGE
French May Dissolve Parliament
 to Get Government

Paris, Dec. II (UP)-The French cabinet crisis reached it's seventh day today with a solution increas- ingly difficult becauseef the obsti- macy of radicals and radical social ists. Press and public feared that President Gaston Doumergue would be forced to dissolve parliament and order new general elections.
 The radical and radical socialist groups continued 10 refuse support 10 a cabinet in which the Andre Tardieu faction would be given port folios. Senator Theodore Steeg agreed to try formation of a new government today, but politicians gave him even less chance that Louis Barthou and Pierre Laval. who failed before him. The grave step of dissolving parliament began to appear inevitable.
 May Dissolve Parliament
 A French parliament has not been dissolved for half d century, but it may become necessary due to the complicated party system which al- lows no stable majority in the chaIn- Der of deputies or the senate. The necessity of continuing the govern = ment departments obliges Doumer- que to find premier capable of ob- tdining q majority.
 Steeg appeared destined for de- feat in parliament, even if he form- I'd d cabinet, which was considered doubtful. President Doumergue was expected to dodge dissolution as long as possible, however.
 The constitution empowers the president to dissolve parliament and order elections as soon as possible thereafter, while the overthrown cabinet carries on, In the actual process of dissolution, the president sends a message to the senate only, suggesting dissolution.
 The senate votes on the sugges- ton, and if it refuses dissolution. the president can do nothing except send repeated dissolution meSsag to the senate.
 Chamber Has No Power
 The chamber of deputies has no power in the matter, and learns of dissolution only from the senate.
 Parliament was dissolved last on May Is, 1877, under the presidency of Marshal MacMahon.
 Before dissolution becomes almost obligatory, Doumergue has the chance of convincing Aristide Briand and Raymond Poincarc of the nec- essity of forming a cabinet. despite their repeated refusals.
