Railroads Are
 Next on List
(continued from Page 1)

There has been an undercurrent of comment by some here that the measures advanced by President Hoover at his White House con- ference this week constituted a plan to help only the bankers.
 President Hoover holds the con- trary view. As a typical instance, it was said that a manufactures seeking credit to turn out an order might be located where the bank ing situation was difficult. Normal credit might not be available be- cause heavy withdrawals by nec- essarily alarmed depositors might have exhausted the banks re- sources, save for sound securities not eligible for rediscount at Fed eral Reserve banks. -
 Under the Hoover program, this bank might turn to the new back CTS pool now being set up and get money. This money in turn would be loaned to the manufacturer. He would then be able to take on men to execute the order just financed.
 Sharp strengthening of railroad securities in Wall Street the last few days is generally attributed to a feeling that aid is soon to be extended. @ s
 More than $22,000, 900. .000 (bil- lion) is outstanding in railroad securities. Railroad bonds are held in large quantities by savings banks and life insurance compap- les. Unwarranted panicky selling has forced prices far below sin- trinsie worth, according to- many analyists. Legal requirements gare threatening to force many institu- tions to dump these bonds on the market at a sacrifice unless relief is obtained.
 Some indirect relief is antici- pated through the voluntary $500,- 100000 bankers pool now being set up.
 At the same time President Hoover is concerned with the diff dicult problem of war debts, linked with the domestic situation espe- cially through their effect on for eign credits heavily held in Amer ica.
 Because of the approaching visit of Premier Laval, President Hoover is turning more thought on the question daily.
 It is complicated by the strong congressional opposition registered kt the White House conference this Reek. Mir Hoover. it may be said, k still natly opposed to canceiIa- don. He will be guided by the ca- pacity of debtors to pay. It was said authoritatively today.

PROBLEM OF FIXED COSTS Philip Cabot in the Autumn Yale
 Review

For many years the manufactur- CT, confronted with high wages, has been substituting machinery for labor, until the point has been reached where, in cases like the electric generating stations, the cost is michoscopic. The result of this general tendency to substitute fixed plant for labor has been to increase the fixed costs not only of the plant but of the management, for the highly developed indus trial units required unusually able
 men to operate them. But the trouble with such fixed costs is that they are fixed, so that when the plant is closed or working on half time. they become crushing bur den; and there is worse to come, for we are now beginning to sus- peet that labor also has become a fixed cost. The gradual transfer of men from agriculture to indus try has made the mass of our pop ulation utterly dependent on in- dustriaI operations over which they have no control. and they now very properly feel that the capitalist, who has promoted this transfer, must assume the burden of 1t. This burned will be so heavy that unless great changes can be made in our methods of doing buslness' it cannot be borne.

DIPLOMATIC PLOT IN LAVAL FAMILY
 IS UNEARTHED
Prenlier's Daughter, Slen= der and Beautiful, lll= tends to Accompany Father to America, A= though He Says No
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris, Oct 10.-(UP)-A dip1o- matic plot in the Laval family came to light to-day with an- nopncement that Mile Josette La- val, had booked passage for New York on the same steamer with her father, as his secretary.
 E, She might also act as interpre- ter for she speaks English fluent sly. Laval does not speak Eng fish and recent reports from Wash ington said that President Hoover considered his French bit too rusty for use in diplomatic con- yersations. K.
 : The premier's daughter thus ap- preached the first diplomatic vic- tory of her career. Her father grumbled denials when he was asked if Josette might accompany him to Washington, but he did not seem very positive about the situ- ation.
 Meanwhile the same journalists who baited the premier, encour- aged Josette to go ahead with her plans and announce that she would sail with her father on the He De France October 16.
 Josette is a slender, beautiful girl and an excellent sportswo- man. When she can spare the time from her duties at her fath- CTS office she goes to the train- ing stables at Chantilly, dons jockeys clothes, and rides with the jockeys who are breaking colts which may or may not have great futures on the French turf.
 Josette is also a skilled tennis player.
 ! The young lady's Individuality is extended to the design of her clothes.s She makes her own mod els and has them executed at a small dress makers shop, and avoids the big dress making estab- lishments of the feminine fashion center of the world.

Reorganization Of

they argue that after the turn down the present town committee and town chairman got this elec- ton, 8 change should be made inn mediately instead of waiting until 1t is too late to attempt to build up the party's prestige.
 Although not pushing himself, personally, it has been reliably learned that Fire Commissioner Freedrick Chesson, who has ere- peatedly refused the g.o.p. mayor alty nomination, is being boonned by very substantial group of lp- cal republicans for the town chair manship. " K i
 The delegates to the g.o.p., town convention will have the power of naming the town committees and the town committee will have, the choice of the chairman. It is felt that the town convention delegates should take into consideration the stinging defeat of last Tuesday and elect a new town committees and see to it that 8 new chairman is approved by the new town com mittee.
 One of the main causes of the g.o.p. defeat last Tuesday, it Is claimed by some, was the inability of Town Chairman Conway to raise funds. It is said by the packers of MT Chesson he would be the type

Woman Hid Half

(Continued from Page 1.) revealed daily hidden away. in rub bish, under carpets, within mat tresses, and bed clothing, and in her own garb of a mode a half century old.
 Her fortune in currency, it has been revealed, probably has been closely guarded since she withdrew it from the banks during the panic of 1907. In that year she closed the last of her savings accounts.
 Also, she had lost a small fortune some time previous in an invest ment later made good by the J. F. Morgan company. It was learned to-day that some of the restored money was among that found this week.
 Her fear of banks grounded on her experiences of that time cropped out in her exclamations to one visitor yesterday.
 What good are banks? What about the Bank of U. s.? I've still got my money but where are the banks?"
 Mrs Wood has been adjudged in- competent. Her affairs now are in the hands of Otis F. Wood, son of Fernando Wood, who was New York's mayor in the fifties.
 That she resents. She resents and fights off efforts to care for her, for during the past four, years she has lived alone. None but a favored few were permitted to en- ter her room.
 She resisted efforts to take her currency and deposit it in the banks; the last $500,000 in fact was removed from her dresses while she slept under the effect of 6 sedative.
 The hotel maid, Margaret, she trusted. And she yesterday advised the negro bell boy who long has eassd her daily grocery order through the door:
 "Why don't you read all about me in the papers, you foolish boy?" She had been woman of mystery at the old hotel.
 Nurses now caring for the aged woman permit her to believe she still is keeping house for herself. She helps them wipe the dishes, and she still cooks her own eggs and boils her own coffee.
 Its all I ever drink, so my cof- fee I must have," she told one nurse.
 To-day she looks forward to something new-a radio. It will be placed in her room at the di- rection of her nephew, Otis. and so far as is known, will be the first she has heard.
 Meanwhile the search goes on for treasures she had owned when she danced with Prince Edward of Wales, when she attended the Infanta Eulalia ball at Madison Square Garden in 1893, and the Empress Eugenie ball in Paris back in 1870. They are described in clippings found in her room.
 ITO talk to her." the nephe,' said, lis like going back to another age when people were more care full than they are now. She Is very courteous you know, and very pre- else in etiquet."
 She is proud to call herself a "newspaperwoman Mrs Wood edited "The Daily News" after the death of her husband, Benjamin Wood, in reconstruction days.
 Her other nephews include Henry A. Wise Wood, newspaper machinery manufacturer.

tax the movie actor owes for 1927.
Nagel reported his total salary for
the year at $121.s3S, but filed separate
returns for himself and his wife under
the California community property law.
The Internal Revenue Bureau, how
ever, informed him his salary should
have been filed in his name and ordered
him to pay $2,895 in addition to the
Sl5,717 already assessed
In taking this action, the bureau said
the community property law, which
would reduce the amount of tax, was
enacted July %, 1927, and that the
income reported for Mrs. Nagel was
received before that date.
Nagel has asked the Board Of Tax
Appeals to overrule the Internal Reve-

decision and also to grant him excmp-
