consular officials.

HULL To INSIST
On TARIFF CUTS

Senator Cordell Hull, Secretary
of State designate, has notified
Great Britain informally that he
expects international tariff re-
adjustments as the price for re-
vision of war debts. He took
this step in his conversation yes
terday with Sir Ronald Lindsay,
British Ambassador.
He handed the British envoy
a copy of statements he had
printed in the Congressional Rec
ord last December on what the
United Staes should demand in
return for debt revision. At the
same time, he let Sir Ronald
know the statements would repre-
sent his views as Secretary of
State.
Reciprocal reduction of tariffs,
liberalization of foreign exchange
rates, and discontinuance of arti-
ficial protection for businesses
which are economically unjusti-
fable" were advocated by Hull.
He proposed a flat 10 per cent
cut in the tariff rates by all the
principal world powers.

Sentry Joseph j. Tutuska was
on duty Sunday night when the
car, driven by a foreigner, started
to leave the Bellevue reservation.
TutuSka halted the car and
demanded a pass from the driver.
AS he stopped the car he saw

reported.
When the man vas unable to
produce a pass, Tutuska informed
him that he was under arrest,
and turned to call the officer
of the guard.
Struck in the Face
AS he did so the man leaped
from the car, Slugged him on
the head, struck him in the face,
and as he fell kicked him In

AS Tutuska lay unconscious
on the ground, the attacker
jumped back in the car and
made his escape. The sentry re-
gained consciousness some time
later and called the officer Of
the guard.
A search for the attacker was
started at once, but no trace Of
him has been found.
Tutuska described the man as
