Minimizing the break" between
the White House and House lead.
erS. TilSon said:
ut is not a question of a split
with the White House--just Q
question Of difference of opinion
over q method of procedure. Any
statement that there is a split is
gross exaggeration. Throughout
the House, so far as I know, there
Is no desire to disagree with the
main purpose of the Presidents
main purpose, which is to make
the necessary transfers.
Nothing definite has been de-
termined. I suppose the depart
ments will send down their recon-
mendations and am sure that
the House will act as promptly as
possible on them"
Jones Withholds COMMENT
Senator Jones CR.) of Washing
ton, who sponsored the joint com.
nittee resolution in the Senate,
declined TO comment on the atti-
tude Of House leaders, saying that
is a matter for the House to de-
terrnine."
Some House "dryS," it was In
dicated, are opposed to the leaders
on the ground that q widespread
impression of split with the
President win be created while the
prohibition issue is uppermost In
Congress.
Representative Cranton (R.) Of
Michigan, titular dry leader, how.
ever, refused to comment.
II neither criticize nor endorse
the action Of these so-called
House leaders at this time" said
Representative sproul (R.) Of
Kansas.
The statement Of Speaker
Longworth that House leaders
had definitely turned down the
proposal for q joint committee
which was the subject Of q spe.
cial message by the President,
was accepted as the final word
Of House leaders.
Always jealous Of their pre-
negatives, the House leaders by
their action indicated that they
would oppose the general tend
ency Of the Hoover administra-
ton to seek legislative and other
action by commissions and Spe-
cial committees rather than
through !. the organized commit
tees Of the House.
The Justice and Treasury de-
partments, it was learned, will
submit q bill for transfer Of the
prohibition enforcement unit to
the former department within q
week. Representative Williamson
(R.) Of South Dakota, who has
conferred with both departments
and the President, will approve
it, he said.

One Of the first admissions

Mrs. Buckley did not know the

Well, you. Senator Walsh, who

The witness refused to give any
information when asked what the
interests ION the other side Of

their desires regarding q sugar

committee call a Mr.. Mayer, New

others.
They're In Congress"
"It should be brought out, VI

WOMEN DECLARED \.
MAIN DOBLOSERS
Attorney Amazed at Number
of Minority Shareholders
in Stock Collapse.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October 22.-Women
who live in Kansas, Kentucky and Ohio,
in New England and Canada--long-dli
nothing of finance-are the heaviest
losers in the collapse Of Charles v. Bob's
Metal g. Mining Shares, Inc, the attor-
ney generals office said today.
This is the Bob enterprise to which
Assistant Attorney General Washburn
is directing most of the activity Of an
investigation into all of Bob's manifold
stock promotions. Bob has been missing
since october 5, when he flew to Chi
cago in his own airplane informing
business associates he expected to return
In few days.
Examination OF. records Of Metal L.
Mining shares, Washburn said, disclos-
ed that IAN astonishing large percent
age" of investors we're women holding
minority shares. A majority interest
in big blocks is held by Bob and his
associates. There is nothing to tndi-
cate what the small investors paid for
their stock. Similar investigations of
90 other Bob companies are in progress,
and within a day or so, Washburn said,
applications will be made for receiver
ships for number of these concerns.
Since his inquiry began, Washburn
has estimated total losses to investors
in Bob concerns at between six and
twelve million dollars, the figures increas-
ing as his investigation progressed. His
Statisticians, he said, have not tabu-
lated the name Of any small stockhold-

SMUGGLING OF FUR
AND LIQUOR Barred
Four Border PatroImen and
Five Civilians Reported
Arrested.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N. y, October 22.-The
Post-Standard says, operations Of .
smuggling ring which during the past
year has moved contraband-chiefiy
liquor and furs-valued at hundreds Of
thousands of dollars, from Canada into
the United States have led to the recent
arrest of four border patrolmen and
i've civilians.
At the time of arrests at Ogdensburg,
Plattsburgh and other places, Federal
officials disclosed only that conspiracy
was the charge.
The center of the fur distribution
organization was at Saranac Lake and
the liquor distributors at several small
towns near the border, the Post-Stand-
ard says. Most of the furs and the
liquor, the paper declares, were dumped
on the New York market.
Higher Government officials were at
first reluctant to believe border patrol
men were involved, the paper says.
Federal Attorney Oliver D. Burden OF
Syracuse, to whom other officials have
referred reporters, neither confirmed
nor denied the accuracy Of the POST
Standards account.
Federal Investigators started work on
the case three months ago, the news
paper says, making the first Of the
series Of arrests week ago Saturday.
