Democrats Attack Hoover Rec.
ord in Each Of Five Dis

Washington, Nov 3.-(P)-Riding
to the sway Of balloting Tuesday IN
five congressional districts Is the l3-
year-old domination of the house by
Republicans.
From the results Of these and other
elections in a number Of states, OBJ
servers will seek to read political
foreshadowings of events during the
1882 presidential campaign.
OF the five special elections called
to fill vacancies In the house, the
outcome in two usually Republican
districts is considered doubtful. They
are the first Ohio and the eighth
Michigan.
The Democrats, who have formed
the house minority since 1918, have
assailed the Hoover administration.
Whatever the election results, they
will be generally interpreted as the
political sentiment toward the chief
executive.
Should the Republicans return rep
resentatives from the three seats
traditionally theirs, the most they
could do would be to tie the Demo-
Gratis at ZIG, as the Democrats have
virtually been conceded victory In the
other two districts, normally In their
column.

COMMITTEE FACES
DIFFICULT TASK IN

Apparently No One Wants to

Probe Navy Charges

washington, NOV. :. - HJ - 1nc
committee named by President Hoo
yer to investigate the truth Of state
ments by the Navy League regarding
his naval policy ran into difficulties
today at the outset.
John Hays Hammond, one of the
members, could not be found. Two
other members let it be known they
would not accept the Craftsmanship.
Assistant Secretary Jahncke of the
Navy, torn between loyalty to the
president and long activity In league
circles, will not have it. Undersecre-
tary Castle OF the state department
considers himself too close to Hoover.
The two other members, Admiral
Hugh Rodman, retired, and Elliot
Wadsworth of Boston had nothing to
say about the committee work.
The group will seek neutral
place" to hold its sessions to avoid
appearing unduly influenced by eithe.
administration or naval armament
sentiment.
Their inquiry. statement from the
white house said, must be "solely into
the assertions Of fact" made by Gar
diner. and not into his opinions or
conclusions"
The league president had accused
Hoover of an "abysmal ignorance OF
why navies are maintained" The
league pamphlet, under his name
contained other bristling statements
too, which could be classed as opin-
ions or conclusions.
just about the time the president
was pondering over his committee

There is considerable speculation
as to just how far the five-lnan cour
named by the president will go. Fol

to examine the accuracy only of sucl
statements by Gardiner las may b.
readily determined from department
tai records"
In addition, 1t was warned away
not only from Gardeners opinion
and conclusions. but also from bud

The Navy League leader elaine.
directly, for instance. that Presiden
Hoover and Prime Minister Mac
Donald In 1929 reached agreement
that never have "been divulged Il
their entirety and that the admins

session of the senate foreign relation
committee to view the full record o
negotiations prior to the Londol
naval conference.
These statements have been labele'

Stimson.
Gardiner hinted also that the pro

PRICE RAISE AIDS
NORTHWEST FARMERS

Minneapolis, Nov. 3.-(R1-BankerS
Tuesday estimated that recent price
increases have added from $40. 900 600
to $4,000, 900 to the value Of wheat
held in Minnesota, the DakotaS and
Montana.
Basing estimates on federal reserve
computations of grain held by farm
ers, country elevators and mills, they
said about $4,000, 900 of this has ac-
crued to the benefit of farmers.
Dealers said the advances have not
caused increased shipments from rural
regions to markets. Relief that prices
will rise still more appears to be the
reason, in their opinion. Wheat mar
keting this fall is considerably below
that of the like period Of 1880 in
these states.
The advance in wheat prices has
been accompanied by sharp increases
in the quotations for rye, barley and
other grains.

DAMAGED BY DROUTH

0AAANANANA1D DA O1OOxn
Moscow, Nov. 3.-(P-In spite OF
heavy losses due to drouth, Russia's
grain crops this year will at least
equal those Of last year, Vyacheslaff
Molotoff, president of the council Of
peoples commiSsars told an anti.
drouth conference here.
Increasing domestic demand may
reduce Russia's wheat exports to
some extent, but 1t was authoritative
ly denied that the Soviet union will
discontinue exports this year and
next as reported abroad.
An official in q position to know
said the increased demand, combined
with reduction Of the spring crop by
drought, undoubtedly will cut the ex-
portable total, but he declared that
exports will not be stopped by any
means.
Molotoff told the conference that the
gross yield Of the 1881 grain crop Is
expected to equal that of last year
which was the largest in Russia's his
tory. and that deliveries to the gov
ernment already have exceeded those
In the corresponding period last year.
The 1882 Sown area, he said, is to be
extended beyond the present area.
In view of the fact that Russia de.
pends largely upon the sales Of agri.
cultural products abroad for money
to finance industrial development, It
Is considered absurd here to think
that grain exports would be curtailed,
Notwithstanding the drop in prices In
the world market.
Reports abroad that Russia Is try

wheat now in the British market

In German market circles it was
said that from 100000 to $4,000 900
bushels would be unfit for milling

have to be used for fodder.
The same sources said Russian ex.
port organizations are trying to
secure cancellations of some of their
futures commitments in England and
that Russian wheat exports dropped
100000 bushels last week under the
week preceding. An official at the
Soviet embassy said the country's
wheat supply Is sufficient for home
needs, with some for export.
