New York, May 3l.--rho sug- gestion that the president issue m Immediate call for world eeo- homie conference was made to-day by Otto II. Kahn of Kuhn, Loob & Co, and JohN Henry Hammond of Brown Bros & Co, In their replies to the Questionnaire sent out TO. eently by Dr Nlchoins Murray But Ter, as chairman of tho advisory council of the League of Nations c East 39th street. New York city.
 Tho questionnairc went to q group of representative busln oss men and< economists as part of the association's effort to determine the importance of international cooperation In terminating tho dc. precision. The replies published to- day were the first received to tho Butler questions.
 "f am not wholly sure that col- iective action Is absolutely ncces- sary in tho caso of all the prln- cipai nations," MT Kahn wrote, "but 1 am quite sure that such ac- ton Is eminently desirable md that it will greatly facilitate and hasten emergence from tho depros- sion.
 "T think the best medium for endcavoring to inaugurato such cooperation is the League of Nn- tons through tho appointment of n special committee unless the President of tho United states can and will take the initiative with tho approval of the Congress.'
 Mir Hammond, In a covering let- ter, makes a similar suggestion:
 "As the United States is not n mombor of tho League of Nations, 1t seems to mo better for the Presi- dent of tho United states to mnke tho attempt and conhne the in- vitation. in the first instance to England, Franco, Germany, and Italy. The failure of the conference would be serious but something concrete should come out of lt. No partisan advantage should bo Int tnt satA

sUsPENDING ASSESSMENT WORK

The suggestion by the Senate mining committee that work be suspended this year for the purpose of relieving distress is like closing down the factory to save the employer from paying wages
 Doubtless there many cases where prospesctors might be relieved of burden thru this suspension, but it would have opposite effect unemployment when 1t is considered that absentee claim holders would be involved
 Instead of suspension of assessment work it would appear logical demand and encourage its perform and thus give many idle opportunity to earn few dollars while at the time press forward de- veopment.
 It is difficult to differentate between individual claims held by prospecors and groups held by corpora tons Under the suspension rule these latter could suspend operations where all work was being done group thru distinctive working.
 Any step looking to the retarding of mining work would have detrimental effect in Alaska. If nothing ee would enable parties to hold large areas of ground without attempt to develop it and thus deprive others of chance to acquire holding It is known that this system is in vogue in many regions where would be better off with claim and developing that than holding the country in the hopes that would buy him out.

c. O.P. ORGANIZE
4 DRIVE IN SOUTH
Intensive Campaign Planned
in Three Democratic
StronghoIds.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, July 16-Organizing for
an intensive campaign in the South this
year, the Republicans plan to carry
their fight into the hitherto rock-ribbed
Democratic States of Georgia, Missis-
sippi and South Carolina.
These States have been Democratic
since reconstruction days, and the gen.
eral elections In November have merely
ratified Democratic nominees for offics.
Even four years ago, when Hoover broke
the solid South for the first time in
many years, Georgia, South Carolina
and Mississippi followed their tradi-
tional Democratic tendencies Missis-
sippi and South Carolina increased
their Democratic ma ajorities.
Predict New Gains.
Democrats say the entire South and
the border States will give big majori-
ties for Roosevelt and Garner In Novem-
Der, but the Republicans dispute this
and say they not only expect to hold
the four States of Florida North Caro-
lima, Virginia and Texas, which they
captured in 1928 but hope to add others
to the Hoover and Curtis column.
The campaign for the Republican ma
tional ticket will be backed by fights for
senatorial and congressional seats
throughout the South. and In many in
stances for county, and State Offices.
Mississippi and South Carolina will
have Republican candidates for Con-
gress in each district to oppose the
Democratic nominees. This will be the
first time in nearly half century that
the Republican party In Mississippi has
oy1tn 70 ty1 ;-t,
The candidates of the party in that
State have signified their intention of
running as "dryS," baSing their support
of prohibition on the plank adopted by
their State convention. This opposed
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
and modification OF the Volstead act.
They declared their allegiance to the
national party.
South Carolina, where the Republican
vote has fallen to mere handful in
recent years. will have candidates in
each congressional district and a can
didate for the United States Senate. In
addition; they expect to nominate can
didates for some county Offices
The Republican organization in Rich
land County. S. c.. invited the Demo-
Gratis to stay out of the primary and
go with the G. o. P. in the general
election.
Old Faction Ousted.
In South Carolina a new leadership
headed by j. G. Hambright, national
committeeman, is in charge of the Re-
publican party. They ouSted the old
regime headed by Joe Tolbert, and this
course was upheld by the recent Re-
publican National Convention. In the
contest before the Credentials Commit

organization to work for the upbuild-
ing Of the party in South Carolina. and

PROMOTION PAY.
Field Service Employees Re-
Gently RecIassified Hit by
Second McCarl Ruling.

Employees in the field service Of the
War Department, recently reclassified
and given pay increases under a deci-
sion Of Controller General McCarl, now
lose their promotion pay, the controller
general declares in a second decision
On January II. the controller general
held provisions Of the classification act
must be extended to the field service.
The department completed the work
and on May 4, directed that LA .las-
sification become effective Jurs 1. It
resulted in increasing rates of pay of
some employees whose pay prior to July
was less than the minimum rates
prescribed by the classification act, and
Of others who were receiving rates above
minimum for services, but not at the
exact rates prescribed by the act. Thus
the rates of certain clerks were in
creased from less than S1.26O a year to
81, ,260 year, and those of certain other
employees who had been paid odd rates
such as $3.50 were increased to the
present rate specified in the act
Some Of the typists under this re-
classification would have been increased
from $500 a year to 81 ,260.
Controller General McCarl ruled that
since the reallocationS did not become
effective before July /, when the econ
omy act became law. the clerks cannot
receive their increased pay this fiscal
year.

Efforts Are Futile.

Efforts Are Futile.
Efforts on the part of county and
municipal governments to care for this
avail by the condition of the market
for public works securities.
Allen B. Mcdaniel, president Of the
Washington Society of Engineers, in
cooperation with American Engineer
ing Council, appointed a special COM
mittee headed by the late DR.. F. H.
Newell to undertake a survey OF work
held up in the Washington metropolitan
area as part of broad program to find
means of relieving unemployment
through the stimulation of public works.
Visits we're made to public officials in
the area and an interesting and dis
tressing situation was disclosed.
The map shows the public works
projects in the Washington suburban
area that are ready to 60 ahead but
are held up by financial difficulties
Relief Bill May Help.
Some Of the public works projects
that are now stagnating may be
eligible for aid from the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation under the
new relief bill when it becomes law.
1t is certain that no greater need for
public works than in the Washington
suburban area can be found anywhere
in the United States. Most of these
public works are of the self liquidating
type, such as the proposed extensions
to the water supply and sewerage sys-
TENS maintained and operated by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission of Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, Md. During the
drought of the Summer of 1890, the
Burnt Mills reservoir (the principal
source of water supply for the Wash
tngton Suburban Sanitary District)
went practically dry, and emergency
connections had to be made to the Dis
trict mains in order to meet the i'm
perative need for domestic consump-
tion. The sanitary district Is still de-
pendent on the Great Falls supply in
emergencies. The proposed projects,
involving an expenditure Of three-quar-
ters of a million dollars, are urgently
needed. but cannot be financed under
existing conditions.
5000 Would Get Jobs.
These water supply projects for
Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties are typical of the public works. that
total about S5,O00,000, and are of an
emergency nature at this time. Such
works would furnish employment for
from 5000 to 10000 men who are idle,
and also bring about purchase OF ma
terials that would give employment to
large groups Of labor In the various in
dustries concerned.
In Montgomery County several road
and school projects are vitality needed;
the bonds are printed, but cannot be
suitably disposed Of. Under existing
conditions, the only hope for the con-
struction of these projects Is the Sc
curing Of financial aid from the Gov
ernment under the terms Of the re-
lief bill

Auspicious Debut of
Washington String Quartet.

THE debut of the Washington
String Quartet last evening at
the Arts Club was an suspicious oc-
casion, and the we'll balanced group
of musicians has made a place for
itself in Washington. Milton Schwartz
plays first violin. Paul Brightenburg
second violin, George Wargo viola
and Sydney Hamer cello, all men,
bers of the National Symphony Or
cheStra of Washington. The pro-
gram last evening was arranged by
Hans Kinder, and he introduced the
group in graceful, short speech, in
which he said that the quartet was
one Of the benefits which local
symphony orchestra gives a COM
munity.
The players presented an inter-
esting and very delightful program,
playing with warm and colOrful
tone, clean attacks and excellent en-
semble. The shading and phraSing
was artistic. and their playing Of the
Mozart quartet XIV in E Flat
Major followed the traditional and
musicianly interpretations. Tschai-
koWSky's Russian Dance" arranged
for quartet by Mr.. Wargo, was a
brilliant bit on the program and
50 enthusiastically received that they
repeated it. The closing number
was Borodine's Quartet in D Ma

modernist, had none of the ultra
