CALVIN TO BE l QUIzzED ABOUT
 HATHAWAY
Mass Has Not Yet Given Up Hope to Get the Slayer. of Young Nurse Girl

Fall River, Mass, April 7.-(UP)
 Vernon V. Calvin, the young Fall River insurance man who revealed the brutal staying of verna E. Rus sell. pretty student nurse, a fort night ago. probably will bs ques- toned within 48 hours for the fourth time.
 District Attorney William c. cross- ley of Bristol county, directing the Massachusetts investigation of the case. told the United Press to-day over the telephone from Hyannis that he thought the government wit ness would be re-questi0ned with in 24 or 48 hours
 Galvin's close friend, Elliott R. Hathaway, 28-year old son of a Massa chusetts legislator, Is confined to Providence county jail in Gran ston, R. l., awaiting preliminary hearing in Newport district court Friday on charge of the first de- gree murder of his girl friend, vic- tim of strangler.
 Already the Calvin story is a thrice-to1d tale. After, he claims, Hathaway had led him to river ton. R. l., lane and pointed out the girls body late on the night of March 23. the insurance man was questioned by state troopers. He told his story again to Attorney General Benjamin M. McLyman oi
 Rhode Island and for a third time | to District Attorney Crossley and Massachusetts state detectives. The impending fourth questioning was assumed to be In line with Crossley's efforts to secure a clue which would establish Jurisdiction in Massa chusetts. It has been sug- | gested the slayer might have talk en the body across the state line into Rhode Island to evade Massa- chusetts' electric chair.
 Though both Crossley and Nelly
 man have refused to say that Gal wins story assured either state o1 Jurisdiction, 1t was thought further examination of the suspects con-
 fidant might produce supplementary
 information relative to the scene oi the crime.

DRY FORCES TRY TO INTERFERE
 WITH RASKOB
His Appeal for Showdown on the Wet and Dry Issue Does Not Please Every- body
BY LYLE c. WILSON

(United Press Stan Corrcspondcnt)
 Washington. April 7.-(UP) . Powerful prohibition forces in the democratic party have set q back fire against the efforts of Chairman Raskob of the national committee to obtain showdown on the wet-dry issue.
 Published reports of Raskob's ap- peal for an expression by commit tee members of opinions on policies indicated the chairman had surprised influential democrats who oppose him. Inquiry, however, indicates such a move had been expected and efforts had been made to counteract it's effect.
 Plans to thwart Rask0b apparent ly are informal so far, but the Uni- ted Press Is informed they are ex- pected to develop into a systematic counteraction of the chairman's pro- gram. The opinion is spreading among the prohibition or 'anti- strife" group that Raskob's appeal for expressions of committee opin- ion will discover majority against him.
 Senator Hull, democrat, Tennes- see, former chairman of the national committee, apparently foresaw Ras- kob's next move some days ago. Just ahead of the cliairmap's letter, Hull circularized members Of the coTin- mittee with plea for consideration of economic problems.
 The circular was three appeals in one, recapitulating Hulls efforts from February I6 until the commit tee met here March $, to sidetrack the prohibition issue.
 Economic problems, says the caption above the circular, includ- ling tariff and commercial policy, should come first on any democratic national ], party Y program during the
 Tt appears" Hull continued. "that the preponderance of wet and dry opinion is against the program pro- posed by MT. Raskob."
 Although he did not outline the scope of other efforts such as his own to persuade committee members to repudiate the chairman on the liquor question, he said that fin due time It will develop more systemat- ically."
 Political observers interpreted this to mean that if Raskob is not check ed by finding a considerable majority of the committee membership against him on the issue, there will be an organized and public effort to mobilize democratic opinion against him.
 Disagreement between Raskob and democratic leaders who oppose his policies appears reducible to ques- ton of expediency. Hull and others urge the importance of economic is- sues, apparently on the theory that northern democrats, at least until after 1892, will find unemployment and related matters more attractive lthan prohibition on the stump and l in the polling booths.

TARIFF RAISED IN MORE NATIONS
 AGAINST U. 5.
Sixteen South and Central American Countries Have Aimed Retaliation for Hawley-SmOOt Bill
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES United Press Stan Correspondent

Washington, April 7.-iUP)-Six- teen South and Central American countries have raised tariff rates on numerous products which the United States supplies to those markets since. the Hawley-Smoot tariff act went into effect last June IT.
 Manufacturers in this country, backed by strong cooperation from the government. have devoted con- siderable energy to building up trade with South America to the point where the United States dominated the market there.
 7 It has therefore been with con- siderable anxiety that they have watched one country after another in the southern hemisphere raising the tariff wall against American goods. Increase of tariff rates fol- lowed protests of South, American countries against the high rates or the Hawley-Smoot tariff act, and are regarded in some cases as being retaliatory.
 In addition to the 16 South Amer ican countries, tariff rates have been raised on hundreds of commodities which the United States sells in Is European countries and 13 countries and political units in the Orient and South Pacific, 1t is shown in the United Press tabulation gathered from official reports to the com merce department. since the Haw- ley-Smoot act went into effect. The commerce department has not tabu- lated these increases.
 During the time since the new tariff act went into effect, United States sales to South America have dropped considerably. Exports were $129,188,676 less for the eight months from July through Febru- ary this year than they were for the corresponding eight months of the previous year. The totals were $187,828,553, as compared with $317,017,529.
 seuth America's sales to the United States fell off even more, be- ing $157,7O5, 500 less. They were $22S,137,944 as compared with $3S5,843,544.
 The 16 South and Central Amer- ican countries which have raised rates since signature of the new act by President Hoover are:
 Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Cuba, Do- minican Republic, Mexico, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Fl Salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela and Paraguay.
 The increases cover leading Amer-. ican articles or export such as auto- mobiles, motion pictures, cotton, wool, leather, typewriters, machin- cry, radio receiving sets. wheat, flour, pork. lard. vegetables and fruits in refrigeration. The schedule of increases in some countries is larse-in others it affects only a few exports.
 The most extensive increases in tariff schedules have been made by Argentina and Chile, two of the best south American customers of the United States. Argentina has raised rates on dozen foodstuffs, cotton, wool, leather and leather manufac- lures, hats. caps, cement, motoln pie lures, typewriters. calculating ma chimes. sugar, motor trucks and nu- merous other articles.
 Chile has increased duties on footstuffs, textiles, shoes, chemicals, toilet preparations. livestock, flour. automobiles, gasoline. lubricating oil. airplanes and airp1ane parts and other products.
