DEMOLEADERS
GIVE PLEDGE
OF SUPPORT
Republicans Rule
Both Houses
In Recheck

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-(PD-
Into the confused congressional
situation brought about by the
near deadlock Of election results,
seven democratic leaders today had
thrown a pledge Of non-obStruc-
ton.
Executive heads Of the party and
three former democratic presiden-
tial nominees last night issued a
statement claiming dominance OF
the legislative branch of govern
ment but asserting the party would
place the welfare of the country
and the restoration of prosperity
ahead OF political advantage and
the desire I show power.
Ignoring the latest compilation
of results which gave republicans
the narrowest OF majoritieS in both
senate and house, they said the
democrats. TO the extent OF their
ability, would steer legislation in
the next congress.
THE se-venCy-second congress
will not be In obstructive body"
they said. 1T will not seek to en-
barrass the president of the United
States, but Will be glad 10 cooperate
with him and with members of the
opposite party in the house and
senate in every measure that con-
duces to the welfare of the coun-
try.

Their statement came on the
heels of the only expression Pres
ident Hoover has permitted himself
in regard TO The election. Ii was a
single sentence:
The job OF the country now is
to concentrate on measures Of CO.
operation for economic recovery"
This, he made clear, vas The only
answer 10 numerous written ques-
tions which had been submitted TO
him by newspaper correspondents IN
connection with the election.
ohiutE Va AtCukt
The democratic pledge bore The
signatures OF James M. Cox, Jonn

last three once presidential can
didates of the party; Senator Joe
T. Robinson and Representative
John N. Garner. The party leader
IN congress, and John J.. Raskob
and Jouett Shouse, executive heads
of the democratic national COM
mittee.

eral revision of the tariff, they
promised. would be part OF the
democratic program. They did not
abandon criticism OF the tariff,
however, referring in a quaSkics

considered necessary to rid the
present act of its outstanding en-
ormities."

Recounts Demanded

RecountS are being demanded on
a number OF close results on when
the republican house majority rests.
The republicans also may seek to
take away some seats gone demo-
cratic by a handful OF votes.
Even the senate result still is
under the shadow Of a possible re-
count demand IN Minnesota. where
senator Schall was reelected over
strong democratic opposition.
From another angle also the ad-
ministration preponderance is
threatened. Senator Brookhart, re-
publican Of Iowa. has offered to
aid the democrats in organizing the
senate. in exchange for adoption Of
a legislative program suitable TO
him. Others from the western
states may join him. he believes

MONEY SHARKS PREY
 ON TOURISTS IN ITALY
Asstr'idttd A i'reNs PkoIo

NAPLES, Aug. 15.-Many Ameri- can tourists are complaining of Italian exchange sharks who give them a scanty number of lire in return for dollars.
 These sharks operate mostly in small offices. To an American presenting a ten-dollar bill or trav- el check he offers 180 lire instead of the 190 or a little more that should be paid. Thus, on an ex- change of $10, he makes between 55 and 60 cents.
 If the American protests. the exchange broker will go up to 182 lire, but his profit on the simple transaction is still large. In cash ing a $1OO travel check he makes $5.
 Tourists receive the full market rate only by going to American or English tourist agencies or branch- es of American or English banks or the big recognized Italian bank ing houses. They should get l9 lire for a dollar

FOLSOM PRIS ON, California, Aug. 15-Warren K. Billings, life termer, testifie d yesterday that Senator Edgar Hurley, of Alameda County, was the man who hired him in 1913 to carry dynamite from San Francisco to Sacramento. Billings was arrested there and sentenced to Folsom Prison for transportation of explosives. Until yesterday he never revealed who employed him to carry the dyna- mite.
 Billings was being questioned by State Supreme Court members sit- ting as a Commission for Cover nor Young to determine what ac- tion should be taken on Billings petition for reconsideration of a pardon appeal in the San Francis co Preparedness Day bombing of 1916.
 Hurley admitted he knew Billings but denied hiring him or anyone else to carry dynamite.
