HOOVER BELIEVED
TO HAVE REFUSED
COMPROMISE plan
Leaders Fear Watson and Nc.
Nary Returned From. White
House Handed

Washington, Feb. 4.-tR-Com-
promise negotiations on the con-
g~ressional relief deadlock slowed up
Wednesday after President Hoover
gave q cool reception to proposals
for settlement suggested by senate
Republican leaders.
Fears Of a a extra session were
revived ct the capitol ~ Senators
Watson, Of Indiana, and McNary Of
Oregon, the Republican chieftains
returned from the white house empty
handed.
Neither Watson nor McNary would
discuss the talk after the white house
breakfast parley.
They went to the president with the
compromise suggested to the senate
Tuesday by Senator Harrison, Demo
crat, Mississippi, on the $25 100000
Red Cross relief fund, which Mr.,
Hoover and the house Republicans
have refused to accept.
The Harrison proposal was that q
federal fund be made available to be
spent only In the event that charit-
able organizations found 1t impossible
to administer relief.
The Misslssippian put It forward
with the contention that the respon-
sibility for the extra session would be
upon the Republicans, II the stand
against any compromise was insisted
upon.
Despite the gloom Of Senator'S Wat
son and McNary as they left the
white house, however. there were still
signs Of q break In the tense situation.

CROWDED GALLERY
EXPECTED TO HEAR
DEBATE ON CAPITOL
Real Test Of Strength May
Come II Motion to Favor
Jamestown Is Made
DELAY IS BEING URGED
Stutsman County Forces May
Beat Emergency Clause by
Asking for Further Time
DELAY is BEING URGED

Crowded galleries were in prospect
Wednesday afternoon as members of
the North Dakota house of represent
atives prepared for the first open
consideration Of the capitol building
bill.
Heretofore members of the legisla-
ture have had little opportunity to
publicly express themselves on the
issue, an open meeting Of the state
affairs committee having been taken
up with speeches by men who pre-
scented their views for consideration.
The real fight Wednesday was ex-
pected to come II an effort is made
to change the location of the capital
from Bismarck to Jamestown or to
amend the bill to make the location
Of the proposed new building indefi-
mite.
jamestown adherents were making
a strong effort to inject g. new angle
into the situation by eliminating the
emergency cause from the bill and
Jamestown partisans were ~contending
that this proposal would carry. They
were pleading for legislative delay
and asking that the Lawmakers look
over the situation more carefully be-
fore passing the bill with the energ-
ency clause. This argument ap-
peared to be having some effect, but
Jamestown's attempts to attack that
clausA in the bill which locates the
capital Mt Bismarck were running
into q stone wall.
Because Of conditions within the
llegislatIre itself and. the jamestown
plea for further time in which to
| muster arguments bearing on the
capital removal proposal, 1t appeared
that the emergency clause might be
dropped from the bill at this time.
This will not be decisive, however,
as it can be added to an amendment
when the bill goes to the senate and
the house later could agree to the
amendment.
A two-thirds vote Is necessary to
carry any bill with the emergency
clause attached.
If a bill carrying the emergency
clause receives less than two-thirds
1t is declared passed but the emery
ency clause is declared lost and
thereby Is automatically removed
from the bill.
II the situation develops as it ap-
peared Wednesday to be likely to do,
final passage Of the bill as an emery
ency measure may be materially de-
layed. It was regarded as certain,
however, that after Jamestown has
been given every opportunity to pre-
sent its case, the bill will pass with
the emergency clause attached.
The vote on the bill II the emery
ency clause is removed also is expect
ed to be indicative. It still would
carry designation of Bismarck as the
state capital and the number Of votes
against it on this basis might prop
erly be considered the measure Of
Jamestown's strength In the legisla-
ture.
A move to refer the bill back to the
state affairs committee in an effort
to revise the clause pertaining to legal
counsel for the proposed capitol COM
mission also was in prospect, How
this would fare was uncertain.

Arkansas Senator Says Repre-

Indirectly Charged Tuesday
That Senator Was I'm
aduIterated Liar
CHALLENGED TREADWAY TOO

Washington, Feb. 4.-R-senator
Carawsy, Democrat, Arkansas, said
Wednesday he had telephoned to
Representative Crsmton, Republican,
Michigan, and challenged the house
member to repeat to him personally
his accusation on the floor Tuesday
that any one who said he was seeking
q federal Job was "an unadulterated
liar"
The Arkansas senator, relating the
incident off the floor, said he had
called the Michigan member and
that Cramton had three times hung
up the telephone on him.
The row, which has gone far be.
yond usual congressional c~ontrover-
sizes in its character, was begun when
Caraway in the senate condemned
Cramton for leading the fight against
the So, 900, 900 Red Cross fund and
accused him Of fixing up q Job for
himself after his retirement from
congress with the George Washington
bicentennial commission.
Cramton In the house said he was
forbidden by house rules from men
tioning Caraway by name.
Senator Caraway In the senate
Wednesday said he had extended q
public invitation to two members Of
the house to repeat to him the state
ments they made about him In the
house Tuesday.
Caraway telephoned as well to Rep
resentative Treadway, Republican
Massachusetts,, who also replied II
the house to criticism by Caraway.
II told MI. Cramton," the Arkan.
san saidio { the hoof. that I woulc
b glad to arrange for him to tell mi
to my face what he said Tuesday.
He replied he had made his state
men on the floor and publicly and
had nothing more to say and then
hung up the phone.
II called him back twice and eacll
time he hung up the telephone. j
finally told him before he hung UP

DECLARES PASSAGE
Of BILL WOULD HURT
BUSINESS RECOVERY
R. o. Stephenson, President Of
American Bankers Associ.
alton, Questioned
CITES GRADUAL RECOVERY
Believes Retiring Of Certificates
With Treasury Bonds Would
Be Feature
CITES GRADUAL RECOVERY

Washington, Feb. 4-R-Rome O.
Stephenson, president Of the Amert-
can Bankers association, testified
Wednesday that cashing veterans
service certificates would make hopes
of gradual business recovery seem
ill-founded."
Before the house ways and means
committee, the banker reiterated his
belief the nation Is now headed back
toward economic recovery"
However" he added, III this bonus
plan payment is to e~ventualize, it
would seem that those hopes are i'll
founded"
Stephenson termed the nations
present condition zone of the greatest
business ~depressioIs Of its history"
and attributed 1t to economic sur
prises."
UNFOLDING Secretary Melons op-
position to cash redemption Of the
veterans adjusted compensation GER
~tificates, he said he spoke mot pri-
marily for the banks or for any par
ticular interests, but essentially for
the far greater welfare Of all Of our
people"
Enactment Of plans to pay cash for
certificates now, he warned, might in
the future hinder enactment OF "other
really deserving bills for the relief OF
the World War veterans"
1.-THE nation has suffered enough
economic adversely already" he de-
clared.
Stephenson went on to give fhe
opinion, however. that two substi-
tutes for full cash redemption Of SOL
diers certificates could be executed
without serious injury to business.
Representative Hadley. Republican
washington, asked what would result
from taking $784, 100000 Of the treas
ury reserve for application toward re-
tirement of the certificates, and
floating a billion dollar bond issue for
part payment.
1T would not be 50 disastrous" was
the answer.
"You think that would have less
effect on the market?" Hadley ques-
toned.
IF arrangements for that could be
made so as to spread it over some
months the banker answered, II be-
lieve it could be done without serious
injury"
Representative Crowther. Repub-
lican, New York. asked what would
come of giving veterans four per cent
treasury bonds-convertible at any
time-for their certificates.
Again Stephenson said 1t could be
done without serious injury"
Representative Estep. Republican,
Pennsylvania, recalled that Under
Secretary Mills Of the treasury had
opposed this plan. predicting it would
lead to defrauding Of veterans by loan
sharks.
II believe a majority Of the vet
Grams would hold the bond" said
Stephenson. "They might use them
for collateral. But I do not believe
this would seriously disturb business

RECONSTRUCTION OF
STATE House wing
Seems CERTAIN NOW
Governor Shafer Points Out
That Great Amount in Rents
Can Be Saved

Rebuilding Of the north wing of
the fire-swept state capitol building
for U S as temporary office quarters
for state departments appeared as
sured Wednesday as steps were taken
to obtain an appropriation from the
legislature for this work.
Governor George F. Shafer, under
whose direction q survey was made
with a view to remodeling the least
damaged portion of the structure,
said Wednesday that a bill providing
for an appropriation of approxi-
mately $4,000 will be introduced in
the legislature soon. The work of
rebuilding the wing, he believed,
could be carried out for less than
$4,000.
The proposal is expected to pass
the legislature with little or nc op-
position.
Rebuilding Of the wing was pro-
posed as an economy move, as the
amount saved in rent would be sew
eral times the cost Of the work, &C
cording to Governor Shafer.
Wrecking of the walls of the other
parts Of the capitol building Is under
way and the debris will be cleared
away soon. Work on remodeling the
north section is to get underway as
soon as funds are provided by the
legislature.
The north section of the capitol,
which was constructed as an addi-
ton to the building in 1904, housed
seven state departments. Plans are
to return most Of these offices to
their old quarters.
The part to be built would be a
two-story structure, including the
old basement.
The third and fourth floors would
be leveled off. and q new roof placed
on the building, together with a new
south wall.
Offices housed In the old section
are those of the hail and other in
surance departments, board Of adj
ministration, treasurer, auditor. de-
partment Of agriculture and labor.
and land commissioner.

seen the growing mass discomfort in
the puppet states that border the
Soviet Union as well as in Germany.
This fact is brought out in an inter
view of Edward A. Filene, Boston
merchant and famous writer, who
has just returned from a visit to
Europe. Filene, who usually spreads
the Hoover-type of optimism, this
time declared: there is imminent
danger of violent revolutions" in
Central Europe, including Austria,
Hungary and Rumania. Filene ap-
ologized for the necessity of telling
these facts to the capitalists but said
IT couldn't make any but a truthful
statement, it is only truthful state
ments that will do good"
1t is the pressure of the hungry
masses, and the growing need for
markets and new colonies that is
driving the imperialists to war. This
war front is being built up mainly
against the Soviet Union, where the
workers have ended capitalism. its
hunger and misery, and are building
a new society, Socialism
