Per Cent Increase Based
on Cuba Rate.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 1o-The World Sugar
Conference, after an all-night and all
morning session, reached an agreement
on a uniform price Of sugar.
Today's agreement provides that when
the price of sugar has reached cents
pound for Cuba, the export quotas
would be increased by per cent. This
would mean about 225, 900 tons in the
aggregate for the seven countries sig
natory to the agreement.
The agreement, 1t was believed, set
ties the most important problem with
which the conference has to deal. The
export price occupied the attention Of
the delegates for q week and as late
as yesterday threatened breakdown Of
the whole conference.
Proposal Made Week Ago.
The proposal which was finally Ac-
cepted was made over o week ago by the
beet sugar interests to the Dutch and
Javanese interests. When the Dutch
and Javanese decided TO accept it yes
terday, Thomas L. Chadbourne, tnsti-
gator Of the world-control plan, held

ducers and American banking interests

and cable In an effort to secure their
approval.
A permanent international sugar con-
troll council Is to be created which will
have an option, whenever the price
reaches az cents, to increase the export
quota an additional AZ per cent.
Further Increase Provision.
The agreement further provides that
II the price Of sugar reaches az cents,
and II the Control Committee had al
ready availed itself of its 21a-per-cent-
increase option when the price was az
cents, the export quota shall be in
creased an additional "a per cent.
II, however, the committee had not
awaited itself of its power to increase
the export quota az per cent at the
price Of Az cents, the committee Is to
be required, whenever the price reaches
21a cents, to increase the export quota
full per cent.
No other increases are to be obliga-
tory during any one year during the
five years duration Of the contract.
other releases Of additional export
quotas are to be left to the option Of
the international committee, but at a
price lower than 21a cents no export
quota increases are to be made other
than those specified.

USE OF ELECTRIC HEAT
IN INDUSTRY INCREASES

By the Associated Press.
A report of the General Electric Co.
states use Of electric heat in industry
Is growing rapidly.
Furnaces for melting steel and nom
ferrous metals, for annealing, heat
treating and vitreous enameling, pots
for melting lead, babbitt and type
metal, oven for japanning, core baking.
ETC., are given as some OF the uses
70 which electric heat has been applied
on q large scale
As an example Of electric heat
economies, annealing furnaces for sill
con steel strips and punchings for
electrical machinery are cited. The
former oil furnace method required
stacking the material in large covered
boxes, often weighing twice as much
as the material itself. The tempera-
lures required are high and the de-
terioration Of the boxes Is rapid. A
long time is required for heating and
q large storage space Is needed for
the boxes while cooling and packing.
Uniform temperatures were difficult to
obtain. The electric furnaces employ
an atmosphere Of hydrogen and only
the material itself Is heated, the boxes
being dispensed with.
Electric heat Is making rapid strides
In moderniEation programs and obsolete
methods and equipment are being re-
placed by this new and modern
method" says the report.

BANKS OF NEW YORK

Brokers loans in New York City have
continued to decline until they stand at

We md an interesting and significant

MO statement issued by an In

NEW YORK, Oct. big
IN time gangsters and racke-
teers and all the smaller fry,
wealthy though many of them
may be, are entirely out Of luck
when they try to get life insur-
ance.
Even if they are robust and
healthy their susceptibility to
lead poisoning makes them poor
risks.
And now, although it means loss
of policies, aggregating millions Of
dollars, the great insurance COM
panies of America have agreed
unanimously to refuse life inSur-
ance to all racketeers.
1t is a cold business proposition,
and their judgment has been vim
dicated.
Behind the scenes in this Strug-
gle to prevent gangsters from OBJ
tanning insurance is the story of
anonymous investigators who are
risking death and injury to ferret
out the true status of underworld
characters who apply under as
sumed names and give false occu-
pations.
Such notorious figures as AL Ca
pone, Legs Diamond, Joe Aiello,
Mickey Duffy and Johnny Scaccio
have tried in the past to take out
policies that would assure their
heirs of plenty of insurance
money. All have failed.
IN the case Of Duffy the good
4 judgment of several COM
panies was proved. Duffy, shot
down in luxurious suite in an
Atlantic City hotel, went the way
of many of the "big shots" in
gangdonl.
Since 1927 he had been applying
to a score of companies for $780,
600 life insurance and was invari-
ably turned down.
Little Joe Aiello, before rival
gangsters wrote fms to his career
with machine gun bullets, had ap-
piled for life insurance under an
assumed name.
His identity was determined and
he died without benefit of life in
Surance.
Even well-fed AL Capone, fat
and robust and well-protected, can
not get a cent of insurance.
Though he is the dominant
figure in Chicago's gang life, none
of the great insurance companies
will take a chance on him.
Probably Legs Diamond, New
York's most publicized gangster,
couldn't have passed q physical
examination anyway, but he never
tried. He didn't get that far when
he applied.
TINE dramatic struggle to iden-
l. tify gangsters still continues.
Only recently an enterprising in
surance agent was tipped off that
a wealthy man living in a fash
ionable suburban center near New
York wanted some insurance. The
agent saw him and the man ap-
piled for coverage of $4,000.
Investigators who started look
ing up the mans record found
that he had skyrocketed from a
humble home to splendid man
sion in a few years. That made
them suspicious.
And when they learned that
gangs of thugs often visited him
in the dead of night, uncovering

estate is relieved of at least so per
cent of its present burden, the small
owner is faced with conf1scation.
This statement alone won for him
the regard of the Indiana farm bu-
reau, with its more than $4,000
members; the independent home
owner and real estate dealers.
Then Sullivan showed that the
presence of water and light COM
pany representatives on the Cham
Der of Commerce budget-slashing
committee is worthy of horse
laugh, because the companies they
represent collect millions from the
city government for light and wa
ter and yet they desire to cut every
item but that which affects them.
This attack on the commerce
committee also is a ten strike, be-
cause all classes of Indianapolis
citizens are tiring of the attitude
taken by this special committee.
But the proposal of one-day's
session of the general assembly to
pass an income tax bill and lift the
burden on real property is of es-
pecial interest, because public opin-
ion over Indiana is asking that Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie convene the
legislature to devise some method of
improving the situation.
Whether Sullivan's suggestion is
accepted does not detract from the
fact that lie is the first important
pubic official in the state to describe
the situation frankly and suggest a
possible solution.
For this alone politicians now
praise him.

PRESIDENT REAL
power IN u. S.
BEER SQUABBLE.
Congress Almost Certainly
Won't Do Thing Without
Strict Orders.
By RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Lots OF
people, judging from inquiries, are
not sure whether President Hoover
could restore beer and wine to the
country by a mere executive order.
OF course. he can't and only an
act of congress could make beer
legal.
But the wide attention being di-
rected at the President in connec-
ton with the beer speculation Is
based on the fact that a strong
declaration from him at this time
would carry tremendous weight in
congress and through the country
and definitely might mark the turn
ing point away from prohibition.
He Must Demand 1t
Neither house of congress will pass
any beer legislation during the next
session unless Hoover demands 1t,
and he is not expected to do so.
Even if the President did come out
for beer and urge congress to re-
store it there is some room Tor
doubt whether the house and senate
would fall over themselves in rush
to comply.
The point is that White House
intervention is the only thing that
might cause legislative action in the
near future.
Could Be Modified
The Volstead act could be modi-
fed by a majority vote, but each
house is still regarded as approx
mately three-fDurths dry.
A call for beer from Hoover, be-
cause of the presidential influence
and the fact that beer is now being
demanded as an important step to-
ward relieving depression, would be
likely to whittle down the dry ma
jorities considerably, although one
can only guess as to how many
votes it would affect.
Members Of congress will vote for
beer when they dare and not before.
Intimation Not Enough
A mere intimation that the Presi-
dent would be willing to sign a 3
per cent bill probably would have
little if any effect on Capitol Hill
1t would be necessary for Hoover,
if he espoused the beer cause and
sought to get anywhere with it this
winter, to mobilize sentiment
through the country to help him
and to announce his conversion in
emphatic tones.
There is plenty of pro-beer senti-
ment but there also is still plenty
of anti-beer sentiment and no one
has yet been able to tempt Hoover
to defy the latter.
Thus the likelihood is that all
this beer talk as well as all the ef-
forts to persuade the President will
come to nothing.
