SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE GARNER
 PREDICTS BEER
The Vice President.Elect ct Says Members Will Pass the Bill in the Coming Short Session

Washington, Nov 22-(UP)-- Speaker John N. Garner today pre- dicted passage of a beer-for-reve- nue measure by the house of rep resentatives in the coming short session of congress.
 The e-president-elect added that passage of a beer bill, coupled with extensive economy in govern mental expenditures might pre- clude the necessity for a revision upward of taxation.
 Rep Britten, repn., Ill., made a similar prediction yesterday. add ing he believed President Hoover would sign beer bill. A presiden- tial secretary later denied that Britten had discussed beer meas ure with MT Hoover.
 Garner declined to discuss his forthcoming conference with MT Roosevelt on foreign debt revision, but yesterday, In St Louis. was quoted as opposing any reduction or cancellation of foreign indebt- edness. M
 Reyerting to his discussion of prohibition modification, Garner made what he termed "horse- back" estimate that such a bill would produce revenue of from $250. 000,000 to $300,O0O,O00 in new revenue.
 Hc said his estimate was lex tremely rough" but was based on the number of states whose laws now permit sale of beer or which are expected to revise their state constitutions.

New York. Nov 2z-fUP )--Un- certainty over the war debt prob lem and approach of the Thanks giving day holiday combined to- day, to hold down volume on the stock exchange to, around the half million share mark.
 Prices fiuctnated irregularly in a narrow range. During most of the session the list was slightly above theN previous close along with wheat which at one time was up to s-4 cent d abushel. Wheat lost part of the gains and closed up 1-4 to 7-S cent. Other grains were fractionally higher. Cotton eased to around the previous close from an early rise.
 ! Stocks slipped of late in the day, but on the whole the gains bal- anced losses and the net change for the day was just about zero. A few isolated issttes moved down rather sharply, for special reasons. For example Zonite products broke more than 2 points when it's divi- dend was omitted, and Coca Cola dropped nearly 4 points, reflecting the lower earnings which recently led to omission of the usual extra dividends. General Foods also was in the weak category, dipping more than a point.
 Steel common held around the previous close throughout the day as did other industrial leaders. Farm equipments folio wed grains up and down. Motor shares held steady. Changes In railroad and

 CHANCELLOR

Berlin, Nov 22.-UP)-Adolf !, Hitler's chances of becoming Ger man chancellor were considered slight to-day on the basis of con- ditions Hitler. was understood to have made to President Paul Won Hindenburg. The president an- swered Hitler's nter-proposals in letter delivered at l:3O D. m. It was understood that Won Hin denburg's tone was ,conciliatory. but that he expected Hitler to de- eide immediately whether he would accept the chancellorship on Hindenburg's terms.
 Hitler. who has held out for "all or nothing" as far as the chancel- iorship is concerned, reportedly suggested that the president drop his demand for a ma jority govern ment and allow Hitler and his Nazis to govern mi-dictatorially. Von Hindenburg Is known to be- lieve that no party leader, and only a personality above the political parties, is able to form q presi- dential cabinet.

OF
 ! NATION GIVEN GOOD WARNING
Must Stop Placing of Buy- ing Orders for Mate- rials They Need With Companies That Use Roads

Washington, Nov 22-(UP)- The nations railroads to-day were directed by the Interstate Com- merce commission to discontinue their present practice of placing buying orders for materials they need with companies that ship goods over their lines.
 Unless the practice is corrected, the commission said. drastic action, in the form of remedial legislation, might be expected.
 The commissions order followed the report of examiners who found that the practice was contrary to the public interests and increased the cost of railroad services.
 The examiners recommended legislation which would force the roads to do their buying through competitive bidding. The commis- sion announced it would defer such action for the. time being. It also deferred making any drastic regu- lations for fear it might work a hardship on the great majority of shippers.
 Tt is obvious that the advisabil- ity of changing from the present practice to competitive bidding as to carer purchases is a question of major importance" the >commis- sion said, ''the present record does not contain adequate information as to this question, but it does con tain information as to transactions and practices which ar not con- ducive to efficient and economical management.
 This matter may we'll be cor rected by the carriers and shippers upon their own initiative and with out resorting to a change in the law as suggested by the examin- ers."
