Tax Failure, Governors
Answer to Plea.

Despite new pleas for a special
legislative session on. the tax tangle,

Previously he had pointed out
that since the legislature failed to

could promise no better result.

they want, even If it is not always
at the time they want it," he COM
mented regarding the special ses-
sion talk today.

lature, the house being Democratic

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.
President Hoover had an en-
gagement today with the
Philadelphia Athletics and the
st. Louis Cardinals. Accord
ing to 143-year -old custom, he
also had an engagement with
the supreme court of the
United States.
The supreme court did not
see the President.
Since the court first sat in
1888, it has called at the exec
utive mansion the first day of
each term to notify the Presi-
dent it is in session. The visit
has become a part of court and
presidential routine. But to-
day, the President left for
Philadelphia to see the world
series, before the court met.
AT the White House the
United Press was informed
that the court undoubtedly
knew Mr.. Hoover was going to
a ball game and would not be
at home.

June 81 was inserted in chicken
sandwiches, the state charging Mrs.

He was permitted to say that
tests showed the capsules would
not dissolve in water for several
days.

He was halted from answering
the states question as to whether
Mrs. Simmons, at the hospital be-
fore the deaths of her daughters.
asserted the capsules would have
been dissolved if they had been
placed in the food at her home in
Greenfield.
Porter testified that Simmons
showed no symptoms of strychnine
poisoning, but had said he "felt
bad"
Three-way verbal warfare flared
between the attorneys and Judge
John w. Hornaday when the state
objected to the defense asking Port
er if he heard Scifres tell Mrs
Simmons he had enough on you tt
send you to the electric chair"
With the objections overruled
Scifres and Roy Adney, special pros
ecutor, turned to the court asking:
Question Is Withdrawn
Aren't you going to be fair? We
tried to get in conversation, bu
failed"
The question propounded to Por.
ter never was answered, w. H. Par.
Sr. withdrawing it after the state'
question to the court.
This afternoon defense attorney
were expected to open their third
degree accusations on Porter.
Doctors and nurses who at

They are expected to corroboratt
the coroner's testimony that Mrs

CAPITAL TALKS
LENCTHENING OF
DEBT HOLIDAY
Program Being Outlined in
Connection With Visit
of Laval.
By United Press

bU OUite0 FJeSS
WASHINGTON, oct. 5.-Dis-
cussion of an extension of the
Hoover moratorium on war debts
and reparations is under way, it was
learned authoritatively today.
The administration is under heavy
banking pressure to take another
step in that direction, but strong
opposition has been encountered
from congressional leaders. A final
decision has not been reached, it is
said.
An effort is being made now,
however, to formulate a program in
connection with the forthcoming
visit of French Premier Pierre Laval
later this month.
Formerly the administration de-
sired to defer consideration of an
extension until after congress rati-
f1es the Hoover year" which be-
came effective July l. However,
pressure has been so strong for an
immediate adjustment of the un-
certainty as to what will come after
the year is up that Mr.. Hoover is
disposed to move as soon as pos
sible.
Point to Bankers Terms
The urgency arises partly from
renewed Withdrawals from the
Reichsbank and partly from the
fact that American bankers who
participate din the six months
stand still agreement" This agree
ment, by which the bankers prom
ised no ito disturb their short-term
loans in Germany for six months.
expires in February, according to a
department of commerce official.
American bankers are DESTROYS of
knowing what is to be expected be-
fore laying their course with regard
to these credits.
Disclosure that Mr.. Hoover has
an extension of the moratorium I'M
der consideration followed a mys-
FERROUS series of conferences during
which the President spent moch
time with Secretary of Treasury
Andrew Mellon and Undersecretary
Ogden Mills, who handled the orig
inal moratorium'S negotiations.
Hoover Talks With Many
Dwight w. Morrow, who did
much useful undercover liaison
work between the administration
and New York bankers in arrang-
ing the original banking co-opera-
ton which supported the morato-
rum, came here last week.
Every effort was made to conceal
his presence. Bernard Baruch, New
York f1nancier, who just had re-
turned from abroad, also was called
to Washington to consult with Mr..
Hoover. julius Barnes, another
financial adviser of the President.
spent the weekend with Mr.. Hoo
yer. Today Secretaries Mellon and
Stimson conferred.
Opposed by Congress
Opposition to an extension at this
time comes chiefly from congress
which has still to approve the one
year suspension for debt payments
put into effect by Mr.. Hoover, July
l. Hoover has been told that con-
greSs will oppose any extensions
until Europe takes some steps of it's
own chiefly with regard to naval
holiday and curtailment of arma-
ments.
American officials attach much
inheritance To the conference T11ac
day between Laval and Lord Read
ing, British foreign minister. 1t was
said in some quarters that these
conversations would have an i'm
portant bearing on anything that
may be done by this country and
the inference was left that Wash
ington expects move from Europe
as preliminary to any further debt
concessions.

Job Program Offered

The report expresses disappoint-
ment in President Hoover's failure
to call an emergency conference OF
labor employer interests to prevent
wage cuts and arrange for national
industrial planning.
1t assails the bankers for their
reputed share in recent wage cuts,
declaring that the bankers fail to
understand the relation between
high wages and national prosperity.
Higher wages are necessary to
maintain an economic machine
geared to high production" it
states.
The council suggests an emer-
gency program for the coming win
ter, consisting of maintenance Of
high wages, shortening of work
hours, employment by each of the
nations 100000 employers of two
workers each, work assurance to a
minimum force from November to
April by employers, additional pub
lie works, strengthening of employ
ment agencies, keeping Of all chill
dren in their teens in school, prefer
ence of workers with dependents,
financial relief from private and
public funds
Oppose Dole, Charity
Employers are warned that if
nothing is done to give American
workers assurance of labor COM
pulsory insurance is inevitable. The
council declares that the workers do
not want charity or the dole.
1t bitterly denounces the "nuis-
ance tax, or sales tax, as proposed
by Senator David Reed and others.
Instead it insists that "the most
just forms of taxing great wealth
are through the estate, gift and in
heritance taxes" A fertile field also
lies in taxation of the great in
comes.
The council declares for modi-
f1cation of the Volstead act to per-
init the manufacture and sale of
2.75 per cent beer. 1t announces
itself in favor of the 80 per cent
emergency immigration restriction
to quota and nonquota countries.
1t favors the WEIGH bill for Philip
pine independence and immigration
restriction.
Urge Old Age Pension
1t favors enactment of the anti
injunction bill, the King bill to pre-
vent smuggling of aliens as sea-
men, the defeated oil embargo, the
defeated MISUNDERSTANDING act.
Labor is not satisfied with the
present Doak employment service,
the report indicates. 1t praises the
vetoed Wagner bill.
The council urges a nation wide
drive to ratify the child labor
amendment urges adoption of its
model old-age pension act, de-
nounces discrimination against old
er workers.
The council takes no stand on the
two plans advanced to aid the rail-
ways, the Is per cent freight raise
or consultations. 1t does criticise
President Hoover for having failed
to call conference to aid the de-
pressed bituminouS coal situation.
