After a difference of opinion which
required more than an hour Of argu-

Senate Banking Committee decided yes
terday to direct its stock market inves-
tigation to Continental shares, Cleye-

Chairman Norbeck said the commit

David Stock, present his testimony on
the operations Of the company and to
give Cyrus Eaton Of Cleveland oppor-
tunity to testify on the firms behalf at
the same time.
The session was called after Senator
Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio blocked with
a vigorous objection an attempt to have
Stock present his testimony at a hear

expert to go on in a public hearing
and make statements rejecting on the
honesty of citizen of the United States

Bulkley also asserted "the subject
matter Of this controversy Is the sub
Ject matter of litigation pending in the

be taken up.
Chairman Norbeck said he thought
the matter should be presented, saying
1t Is "an unusual case, the only case

Italy obtains the right to settle in An
COLA on her own terms, she will neces-

undoubtedly be introduced by the
Italians in Angola. and within a COM

government might become toward
France as a result Of her approving the
Italian colonial scheme: The prestige
Of Italy throughout Africa would In

should be used eventually against her.
Portugal itself Is not expected to
seriously oppose the Italian idea of
condominium in Angola. The Portu-
guese government might be tempted to
accept an italian offer II some substan-
tial cash payment accompanies 1t. Fur

While no official negotiations between

Is reported from authoritative sources

HOOVER HAS BUSY
WIRE WITH CHICAGO;
CONFERS WITH MILLS
Continued From First Page.)

Secretary of War Hurley, one of the
most politically active of the cabinet
group, took part in the White House
conference yesterday morning with Mr..
Hoover and Mills. Hurley expects to
leave the Capital today or tomorrow
for Chicago.
The Secretary has been in close
touch with convention affairs and dur
ing the day voiced the opinion that any
major struggle over the delicate pro-
hibition question could be kept from
the convention floor.
He believed, he said, that If the
plank dealing with this subject was
phrased without subterfuge the en-
ployment of misleading phrases the
problem would not be aired at length.
Not to Visit Rapidan.
In order to keep in the closest pos
sible touch with both political and eco
nomic affairs, President Hoover decided
against spending the week end as usual
in his Rapidan fishing camp.
After today or at the latest by to-
morrow, he will be deserted by most OF
his constant advisors. Almost his en-
tire cabinet and two of his three secre-
taries either have departed for Chi
cago or will do so shortly.
Lawrence Richey, one Of his secre-
taries, left Friday and Walter H. New
ton. secretary in charge of political af-
fairs, will leave soon to serve as con-
vention delegate from Minnesota.
Postmaster General Brown has been
at the convention site for some time.
He will be joined today by Mills, with
Secretaries Stimson, Wilbur, Doak,
HYDE and Lamont either arriving then
or by tomorrow.
Under present plans, only Secretary
Adams and Attorney General Mitchell,
the Democratic member Of the cabinet,
will remain in the capital.

Americans who go amusement hunt
ing after June 20 at theaters and other
resorts where admission is charged will
begin paying tax of 10 per cent on all
amounts above Al cents, instead of on
$3. as under the present law.
The Bureau Of Internal Revenue yes
terday made public the regulations for

the Government hopes to raise s42-
600, 900 next year. The tax must be
paid from those who pay the admission,
the bureau ruled.
Another change Is the provision for
taxing free or reduced rate admissions
except to bona fide employees, municipal
officers on oflcial business and children
under IL years old All others admitted
free or at reduced rates must pay the
regular tax.
The new law provides that the ex-
emptions afforded certain organizations
such as religious. educational or chari-
table institutions. shall not be allowed
on wrestling matches, prize fights or
boxing. sparring. or other pugilistic
or exhibitions. No exemption
is allowed for college athletics. includ-
ing those at Annapolis and West Point

to recommit, and the measure went
through without roll call vote.
When, at the outset Of the consider
alton of the bill, Senator King ques-
toned the increase in House lump sum
of s6,500,000 to $8,550,000, Senator
Bingham came to the defense OF the
committees action.
Senator Bingham pointed out that
from 1875 to 1920 the United States
paid half the expenses of the District,
and from 1921 to 1924, 1t paid 40 per
cent. The compromise lump sum figure
of s9,000,000 was continued from 1925
to 1880, when q new compromise was
reached on $9,500,O 900, the Senator said.
The House this year cut it down $3.-
100000. Senator Bingham said the
Senate subcommittee was inclined to
take the recommendation of the Bu-
reau of Efficiency for Federal con-
tribution of $10,l83,39l, but that in
view of the economy program. it was
decided to apply the 10 per cent cut to
the current lump sum for the present
year. hoping 1t might 60 back to that
figure in the future.
Senator King argued that the Dis
trict benefits from Federal expenditures
made here for public buildings and 9TH
er improvements. Senator McKellar
joined in this argument and said he
thought the people of the District
asked too much.

ers who attended the conference said
that the furlough- -without-pay plan
was either not discussed at all or only
In casual way, Senator Smoot said
after the conference that he and the
two other Senators attending the con-
ference would stand solidly in favor Of
the furlough plan in the conference
meeting. Representative Wood gave
the same indication and intimated that
Representative Douglas, Democrat. of
Arkansas, Is favorable to that plan and

mated that as much as 5000, 900 900 in
savings would be needed to balance the
budget. adding:

get the money"
He said that while he personally did
not favor the furlough plan, that he
would stand by the edict of the Senate
and could be counted upon to the very
end to support that feature of the
economy bill.
With these four Republicans and
representative Douglas making five of

der the rules of the House the members
can demand vote on any one of the

There is rather strong expectation
among House members that out of the
conference will come an exemption of
S!,5O0 to 81 800 and 10 per cent or
higher cut. At the same time there is
a strong sentiment in favor of the fur
Tough plan, especially on the Republican
