EFENRI COCHET probably will k E turn professional shortly after making a last stand for France in the Davis Cup challenge round in the Stade Roland Garros at Au- teuil and join his old American ri- val, Big Bill Tilden, for world tour.
 The great little Frencnma4-, succeeded Tilden as the worlds rec ognized amateur champion, has for some time contemplated the leap to professional ranks. Several years ago he rejected an offer to turn pro, made at the same time that Suzanne Lenglen accepted the pro- posals of c. c. Pyle.
 Cochet never has enjoyed the luxury of wealth, acquired or in- herited, such as have his famous comrades, Jean Rene Lacoste and Jean Borotra. Henri came up to tennis stardom from the ranks. He was bellboy in Lyons when he began to attract attention. He has been in the sporting goods business in Paris, an activity which, unlike the situation in America, does not represent a barrier to amateurism in France.

TiIden Holds Off

Tilden is withholding the an- nouncement of definite plans for his world tour until after the chal- lenge round, in the expectation that he will have Cochet's decision to join the globe -trotters.
 Karel Kozeluh likely will be a member of the troupe Vincent Richards also may go along. The big attraction, however, will be a renewal of the Tilden- -Cochet ri- valry in the principal capitals of Europe, Asia and Australia. where another old foeman of Bill Bill James Outram Anderson-is al- ready a professional.

LARGE LOAN NEGOTIATED
 BY ALBANIA
Twenty Million Dollar Ad vance Increases Italy's
 Influence

| ROME, Sept 18-Italy's lates loan to Albania, totaling about S20, 100000 spread over ten years is an other step in the steady march to ward making the newest Kingdom in Europe little more than a prov ince of it's bigger trans-Adriatii neighbor.
 In the six years since Italy mad, her first loan of $15,000,0 900, con solidating Ahmed Fog, not ther king, as premier, the big king. dom has brought the smaller ont ever more into her own pattern. Link in Balkan Chain Italian newspapers are printing much to the effect that Italy's contribution was not made fol material reasons; Italy searches fol advantages from it in higher re- gions." But 1t can't be denied that Albania borders on Jugoslavia, po- tential enemy of italy, and forms another link in the Balkan chain Italy is striving to forge. And her friendship with King Fog is highly important to her.
 Italian officers have organized the Albanian army and are still advisers to the Albanian general staff. Italian bankers have reform ed Albania's economic structure.
 Streets, bridges, ports, govern ment buildings, hospitals, schools testify to Italian influence. The imposing new port of Durazzo is about ready.
 One thousand small bridges and 50 big ones have been built by Italians over rivers flowing down from the Albanian alps. Two hun dred miles of modern roads are nearing completion.
 Bankers Aid
 Italian experts founded numer- ous trade and vocation schools, in- stituted numerous exchange schol- arships bringing Albanians into Italy, an organization for physical education for 50,000 children, cham bers of commerce, civil aviation lines, which in proportion to their area are among the most efficient in Europe.
 A group of Italian bankers also organized the Albanian bank of emission. This has so stabilized the currency that the Albanian franc is comparatively as strong as the French franc.
 Italians rcnade the fiscal ad- ministration of Albania, began im- portant soundings for oil, reformed the agricultural system, started mineral researches, improved oreeo- ing of domestic animals.
 This interchange of Italian ideas, influence, men and money with AL bania, is legally backed by two treaties, one of November, 1926, for friendship and security" and the other, of November, 1927, for "de- fensive alliance"

Senate and Hoover Still
Far From Accord Over
Help for Hungry.
BY LYLE G. WILSON,
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Presi-
dent Hoover and the senate con-
fronted each other in stalemate to-
day on the disputed question of re-
lief for the hungry.
Upon the report of Colonel Camp
bell V. Hodges, presidential aid, who
flew westward Wednesday to sur
vey conditions in Arkansas, may de-
pend the outcome. But Republican
leaders maintain their optimism of
compromise, regardless of what
Hodges may discover in the hard
est hit of the drought states.
There were indications that Dem
ocratic senators would accept a
substantial reduction of their orig
inal relief program, calling for
100000, half of which was to be
distributed through the Red Cross.
Mr.. Hoover is being importuned to
accept $15,000,0O0 addition to the
$45,O00,000 feed, seed and fertilizer
loan fund now being administered
by the agriculture department. The
added millions would be available
for food loans, although the dis
tasteful word food" might not be
incorporated in the appropriating
phraSeology.
Il think We will get a compro-
mise satisfactory to everybody" SEN
ate majority leader Watson reassur-
ingly informs questioners. "It may
take a little more time. But the
whole situation will work out with
everybody satisfied"
Such usually regular Republicans
as Senator Bingham Comm have
deserted Mr.. Hoover in his refusal
to admit federal funds into the food
relief treasury.

MONEY SAVING CLAIMED
Author Declares People

Rate Making.

Revival of the effort to bring
utility holding companies under

service commission appeared well on
the road to success today.
BY the decisive vote of 81 to 9,
the senate late Wednesday rejected
the report of a minority Of It's

definite postponement Of The

second reading without amendment.
A similar bill passed the senate
two years ago but was killed in the
house of representatives.
This would be one of the great
est money saving measures for the
people of Indiana we could pass. "
declared Senator Robert Moorhead
(Rep., Marion), author of the bill.
Moorheads bill would regard as
a public utility, under public service
commission authority, any corpora
ton, organization or association of
individuals owning, holding or con-
trolling more than so per cent of
the common stock of public
utility.
Needed in Rate Fixing
"It is needed if the public serv-
ice commission is to get at the real
cost of supplying water, gas or cleo
trio current" he said. Without
such law, the public service COM
mission is without authority to in
quire into holding company ex-
penditureS; they can not see what
holding companies are charging for
their services"
Moorhead read to the senate

a bill.
