ECONOMY PARLEY
ASKED BY HOOVER
House Committee Invited to
White House After Re-
quested Suggestions.
BY J. Russell YOUNG.

In response to demand from the
Special Economy Committee of the
House that he submit specific recon-
mendations for reduction Of Federal
expenditures, President Hoover today
invited the committee to meet with him
at his cfice Saturday morning to take
stock of the work of the committee and
afford the President an opportunity to
make suggestions. Chairman McDuffe
said the committee would accept the
invitation.
Mr.. Hoover, in his quick reply, ex-
pressed the opinion he believed such a
meeting would produce an interchange
Of ideas that would probably lay the
foundation for the development of a
practical national economy program.
The President suggested in his let
ter that he would continue to urge that
a similar committee be appointed by
the Senate in order that there would
be no need to traverse the whole sub
ject again This was in line with the
Presidents recent suggestion in mes
sage TO Congress that a committee Of
the House and the Senate meet with
representatives of the Executive to
work out definite economy program,
rather than have the subject threshed
out by several committees working in
dependently as Is now the case.
Saturday Hour Set.
Mr.. Hoover's letter to Mr.. McDuffie
follows:
my dear Mr. Chairman:
81 am in receipt of your letter OF
April 6. I greatly welcome the response
OF your committee to my suggestion that
the fiscal situation necessitates honest
courageous and non-partisan action in
the development of national economy
program and the preparation Of def
mite comprehensive bill that will assure
its accomplishment. With this purpose
in mind, I would be glad If your CON-
mittee would meet with me at this
Office at IL o'clock on Saturday morn
ing, April 8, with view to taking stock
of the progress made by your committee
in the development of a program Of
economy and affording the Executive ar
opportunity to make suggestions
Through the interchange of ideas we
can best lay the foundation of such ma
tional program.

suggestion carries with it the thought
that in such development the represent

PARAGUAY, BOLIVIA
END LONG DISPUTE
Agreement of Boundaries
Reported Ratified by
Two Countries.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, April 7.-Foreign
Minister Lamas said today Ministers OF
Paraguay and Bolivia, between whom
differences have existed for many
months, have notified him, under in
structions from their governments, that
a set of principles of peace between the
two government has been ratifled.
Boundaries Disputed.
Paraguay and Bolivia have long been
at odds over their international boun-
dairy lines in the iungleS of the Gran
Chaco, a dispute which frequently led
to armed conflicts.
In recent months delegations OF the
two countries have been In Washington
to conduct peace negotiations with the
aid of the good Offices OF the american
Government, and among the most i'm
portant recent proposals has been a
plan for a one-year truce offered by
Bolivia.
Discussion of this plan was interrupt
ed early in the year by minor clashes
along the hazy border line that mean
ders through the wilderness OF Gran
Chaco.
Latest reports of unrest came from
Salta, Argentina, last Sunday, where 1t
was reported that Bolivia was gather
ing troops in the Gran Chaco territory:
This report followed Bolivias rumored
rejection of Paraguayan counter-pro-
posals to their truce suggestions.
In this triangular area OF 1OO,o
square miles there is settled portlon
extending about 40 miles westward along
the course of the navigable Paraguay
River.
Foreigners Own Ranches.
Interests of nationals Of the United
States. Great Britain, Germany ana
Canada operate chains of stock and ag-
ricultural farms. Among the chains
are those of the Gibson Bros, one OF
whom. Sir Herbert, heads the British
Chamber of Commerce of Buenos Aires.
Another large ranch chain is held by
the Paraguayan Land & Cattle Co., an
American concern in which the late Tex
Rickard, famous fight promoter, held
an interest for some time.
Under a charter from the Paraguayan
government a Mennonite agricultural
colony of some 5000 persons, most OF
them Canadians and Germans, engages
agricultural pursuits farther up the
river near Puerto Casado.
The opposing lines of the Bolivian
and Paraguayan outposts In the Chaco
are so irregular that the Mennonites
may now actually be behind the Bo-
livian lines, and one OF the ranches In
which the Gibsons are interested has
beer given up because OF the activity
Of the opposing forces.

CHICAGO, April 7.-Thirty-three en-

oital, including 18 women, went on strike
today in protest at the dismissal Of 81
other employees yesterday. 1t was called

brought from the Cook County Hospital
to care for patients.
Jerry Horan, union head, said the
strike would be extended t. teamsters,
mechanics and other union hospital
workers unless the 27 we're returned to
work. A $l66000 reduction in the hos
pital budget made the staff reduction
necessary, officers said.
Attendants were transferred from the
county hospital to take the places Of
those striking.
DR.. Francis Gerty, superintendent Of
the hospital, said the institution was
functioning smoothly despite the strike.
He said, however, he regretted the
method of economy was to discharge
employees and while he could operate the
hospital without the strikers he la

Senate Democrats sought unsuccess-
fully today to agree that new taxes on
imports should be barred from the
billion-dollar revenue bill.
In a party conference held while the
Finance Committee was hearing new OBJ
1ections to the stock and bond transfer
levies and the high taxes on business, the
Democrats expressed themselves in favor
of prompt enactment of the measure to
balance the budget and said they were
willing to work on it on a non-partisan
basis.
No Sales Tax Discussion.
The conference did not discuss the
general sales tax. Senator Robinson OF
Arkansas, the leader, said apparently
the action of the House on the subject
Is regarded as conclusive"
The bill already carries levies on oil
and coal imports.
In the hearing the views of Secretary
Mills that high taxes on industry
estates and stock and bond transfers
would hamper industry were supported
by M. L. Seidman. representing the
New York Board of Trade. He proposed
that there be no tax on bond transfers
and that the tax on stock sales be re-
duced from "a of l per cent to cents
q share.
Opposition also was expressed to
levies on sporting goods.
Quick Action Wanted.
After the Democratic meeting, Sena-
tor Robinson said "the general opinion
seems to be that the revenue bill should
be acted upon as promptly as may be
consistent with fair deliberation."
"It is not contemplated that partisan
action shall be taken, the design being
to give the Finance Committee the
benefit of the thought of the members
of the Democratic conference and to Sc.
cure for the conference full informa-
tion as action in the committee pro-
gresses," he said.
Senator Connally, Democrat, Texas
announced to the conference he In
tended to propose a scaling up OF thf
surtax brackets on higher incomes, but
no specific figures were mentioned.
Further Meetings.
Robinson said no attempt was made
to bind the Democrats on Speclf1c pro-
posals and none would be made He
announced further meetings would be
held next week in an effort to secure
as great concert Of action" as possible
by the party.
Many of the members, including tht
chairman" he said, expressed tht
thought that tariffs should be dealt witt
separately. This phase of the mattel
Is to be resumed at the next meeting.
