BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 28-The
Lamp, published by the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, says the oil
industry will enjoy the security Of
permanent stabilization only when the
last possible benefit in overproduction
even to the greedy, is removed.
That will come" it adds, when
common-sense laws of ownership obviate
the need for overdrilling, encourage
unit operation and relieve the pressure
of excess potential supply in the
ground
The publication says that up to
October 81 the country had a carry-over
of 3,82S, 900 barrels produced above the
amount set by Secretary Ickes and pre-
diets that If production continues at
the current pace the carry-over likely
will be 4,583,c00 barrels by October 81.

somewhat mixed, with the trend down.
ward, while the stock exchange was in
session; wheat later reduced its ex-
- treme losses.
On the whole. markets seemed afflict-
ed by another attack of indecision and
hesitancy. Share offerings were light,
but buyers made their bids conserva-
lively and the net result was an aver
age loss of a point. Sales, however, TO-
tailed only 376,590 shares. so the days
performance was inconclusiVe.
Foreign Exchanges Advance.
Foreign exchanges advanced against
dollars, but the rise was hardly pro-
nounced: London's gold price was re-
-duced while the R. F.. c. lifted its quo
tations 6 cents to S3l.82 per ounce; the
latter level indicated a depreciation of
about IS per cent, whereas against the
French gold franc dollars were valued
slightly less than SO per cent under par.
Steel shares came under moderate
pressure when it was announced that
The bid of $3775 ton for rails had been
rejected at Washington. Wall Street
hoped a compromise could be reached
inasmuch as steel operations over the
balance of this year would be helped
materially by placement of the tonnage
which has been projected United States
Steel and Bethlehem sagged about
point each.
Allied Chemical and National Distill-
ers products were down slightly more
than points each. New York Central,
Santa Fe, American Tobacco B, West
inghouse, Western Union, Mcintyre
Porcupine and Sears, Roebuck were
down l or thereabouts while American
Smelling yielded nearly 2. American
Telephone, General Motors, Chrysler,
International Nickel, General Electric
and Pennsylvania eased fractions. Con-
solidated Gas was steady.
Washington Dispatches.
Washington dispatches related that
bhe President was studying the question
pf possible market supervision or regu-
jation by Federal authority; whether
this had any bearing on the dullness of
stocks was problematical, but 1t was evi-
dent that professional traders and the
public element had taken to the side
lines again.
Steel rail mills, it has been estimated,
would be kept busy for many weeks
rolling the 844, ,525 tons which, under
the recently outlined plan, would be
purchased by the carriers with the help
of Government credit. Without price
concession to $35, the Government said
st would refuse to help finance pur-
chaseS unless 1t examined the manu-
Sacturer's books and cost records.

SUE19STATES

The Supreme Court today or
dered the Federal government
and 10 States to show cause why
the State of Alabama should not
be permitted to file suit to have
the Federal Hawes- Cooper act
and the anti-convict-made-goods
laws of the States declared un-
constitutional.
The order to show cause was
made returnable october 10.
Alabama contended the Federal
law, divesting convict-made goods
of interstate character, and the
State laws either forbidding sale
of convict-made goods or re-
quiring them to be branded, had
destroyed the market for cotton
goods made by the States con-
victs.

FINAL DECISION
ON SALES TAX
DUE TODAY
President, Congress Leaders
Meeting to Complete New
Public Works Bill

President Roosevelt today sum.
moned Democratic leaders in fiS.
cal affairs to an afternoon White
House conference to put the fin.
ishing touches on the proposed
So, 800 100000 public works bill
and to make a final decision on
inclusion of a manufacturers ex.
else tax.
The measure. which allows in.
duStry to combine for the pur.
pose of maintaining wages, re.
ducing hours of labor and con.
trolling production, was virtually
completed.
Sales Revenue Studied
The President and his advisers
were represented as believing
that the most feasible way of pro,
viding 1920, 100000 annual reve,
nue. to pay interest on the bonds
and create a sinking fund is to
levy a manufacturers excise or
sales tax of IA per cent.
Although Democratic leaders on
Capital Hill were confident that
Congress would indorse the levy
for this purpose, the conference
was called to consider the atti-
tude of Congress toward the levy,
The willingness of representa-
tives of labor, who have fought
the sales tax in the past, to accept
it as a means Of putting hundreds
of thousands of men to work on
public projects was expected to
allay much Of the former oppo-
sition.
President the Arbiter
The alternatives suggested for
the sales tax were displeasing to
the majority of the members of
Congress, particularly the con-
sumption tax on sugar, coffee and
tea, or an increase in the income
tax rates on the American middle
classes.
The public works bill, as it
neared final form, carried another
far-reaching grant of power for
the President. Under it's pro-
visions, industry and labor would
be given the right to make ar
rangements, regardless of anti
trust laws, to stabilize industry,
subject to approval of the Govern
ment.
In the event agreement is not
reached, the President would have
power to initiate an investigation
and himself become the arbiter of
the particular industry.
The huge public works projects
would be carried on by the Fed
eral Government with provision
made to aid States and cities in
itiating similar programs.

Housekeeper's BreadB Baking

hold. The only standing rule is
scrambled eggs for Sunday night
supper. The eggs are sent un-
broken, dozens of 'em, to the
table and Mrs. Roosevelt or Mrs.
Anna Roosevelt Dali cooks them
on a grill.
The Roosevelts are especially
fond Of their Sunday night fam
lily supper. It is a ritual with
them. But the menu would be
considered "just average" in al
most any household. The eggs
are accompanied by bacon or
sausage, and maybe a salad, cof-
fee and desert.
The menu for the day is sub
mitted to Mrs. Roosevelt early in
the morning. After she has ap-
proved it, or made minor changes,
Mrs. Nesbitt markets. She likes
to do it herself to insure every
item is the best and freshest.
Her time is so occupied with her
executive duties she has little
opportunity to actually go into
the kitchen, but Ida, the Roose-
velt'S faithful cook brought from
Hyde Park, is delighted to follow
Mrs. Nesbit'S suggestions.
The Washington times., 1933-05-15

The 1aast known member of the
White House staff, Mrs. Henry
Nesbitt, housekeeper. owes her
job to a loaf Of whole wheat
bread.
Mrs. Nesbitt met Mrs. Roose-
velt through a mutual friend who
had recommended her bread. And
the friendship, established by the
toothsome loaf, was responsible
for her appointment to the White
House.
The post is Mrs. Nesbitt's first
real job. But not her first expert
ence in housekeeping. Once, she
tells you, she ran three houses at
once, her own, her sisters and q
third for employees on the family
estate.
White House Thrilling
Mrs. Nesbitt is finding the
White House thrilling. But not
frightening. She realizes the i'm
portance of her work, but it
doesn't overawe her. After all, she
says is, one house is much the
same as another, even if it is the
White House.
OF course, she admits, she has
not been called upon as yet to
see a flourishing season" through.
But she is gathering all the in
formation possible on the sub
ject and she feels confident she
can do the job.
At present she is occupied with
learning the ropes of her new
post. And in going over the
White House household equip
ment, much of which needs re-
placement.
Cooking and all things con-
nected with good cookery are
Mrs. Nesbitt's chief interests. She
has found the Roosevelts easy to
please. And most appreciative
of any special effort.
The President, she says, prefers
seafood to all others. Mrs. Roose-
velt has no favorite dishes, but
she likes good food well served
Daily Menus Simple
The White House daily menus
are simple. Such as might be
served in any well-to-do house.

DENVER, May Is G.N.S).
E1ated over a district court deci-
sion in Greeley that declared
Federal and State laws legalizing
80 beer unconstitutional, dry
leaders of Colorado today were
prepared to fight ''to the last
ditch" to maintain this victory
In the higher courts.
w. L. Wade, superintendent Of
The Anti-Saloon League in Col
orado, said the organization will
provide the best legal aid avail
able in an attempt to have the
decision upheld in the Colorado
Supreme Court and the Supreme
Court of the United States-if it
is appealed.
District Judge Claude c. Cof-
fin, who gave the decision, re-
tterated his opinion that the
Eighteenth Amendment was vio-
lated by Congress and the State
of Colorado in an attempt to
legalize beer. Judge Coffin said
It was clear that 80 beer is in
toxicating.

Tribunal Ready to Tndict Two
Buck Brothers in kidnapping
Defense Launches Probe

BARNSTABLE, Mass, May is
Q.N.SO.-Ten-year-old Margaret
("Peggy") McMath, the wealthy
Detroit and Harwich school girl,
marched into the Barnstable
county grand jury room today to
tell the jurors all about her
weird kidnapping and return.
Smiling, the dainty little miss,
in her frock of blue, walked
smartly beside Assistant District
Attorney Frank Smith for an
other big moment" in her life.
For two hours previous to the
appearance of Peggy before the
jury, District Attorney William
C. Crossley and his assistant had
been closeted with the jury for
two hours.
Peggy. who entered the jury
room to tell of her three days of
horror in an improvised dungeon,
was the first of a score of wit
nesses to appear before the %
jurors.
With Peggy came her father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Neil c..
McMath; William D. Lee, the
contact man." and a score OF
other witnesses, to give evidence
against Kenneth and Cyril Buck,
of Harwich, charged with kidnap-
ing Peggy from her school May 9,
taking her to a hideaway and
holding her for 100000, which was
paid and later recovered.
Held on 100000 Bonds
Superior Court Judge Edward
F.. Hanify was present at the con-
vening of the jury and left for
court session at New Bedford.
All the witnesses waited in an
anteroom guarded by deputies.
The Buck brothers are held in
Jail here in 100000 bonds each.
Kenneth is charged with kid
naping with intent to extort and
his brother with attempting ex-
tortion, although the latter claims
to have acted only as contact
man"
Elias Burwick, attorney for
Kenneth, has launched a new
probe of the kidnapping. He will
move for a change of venue for
the trial if Kenneth is indicted.
Had Planned Appeal
Maxim Nash, of Framington, is
considering becoming counsel for
Cyril.
1t was revealed for the first
time that the father of little
Peggy had attempted to appeal
to President Roosevelt to compel
the police "to keep away" while
he made contact with the kid
naperS.
His long distance call to the
President on the night that he
handed over 100000 and received
his daughter was dropped because
the President had retired.

velt indicated that the bonus
would not be paid during the
present session of Congress.
At the meeting this afternoon,
another committee will be elected
to set the hour and work out
other arrangements for a parade
down Pennsylvania Avenue. It
will be proposed that Medal Of
Honor men lead the parade.
Thursday Last Day
It was also expected that a vote
would be taken this afternoon
to determine whether an extern
sion of time for remaining at the
Fort Hunt would be asked Of Fed
eral authorities. All veterans must
evacuate the post by Thursday.
With all sorts of solutions be-
ing advanced, it was a matter of
conjecture as to what will happen
if the men do not keep their
promise to leave at the stipulated
time.
Leaders of the fright wing"
group said many men who reg
istered with the liaison commit
tee have flocked to their banner.
1t is apparent that the spirit of
the liaison group has taken a
decided drop since the resigna-
tion of Emanuel Levin and Har-
old HickerSon, Communist lead
erS.
A spark of excitement was pro-
vided yesterday in Washington
when about a dozen "irrecon-
cilables" began a sudden march
on the White House. Led by
Joseph Salzman, of New York,
the men sped in two automobiles
to the east side of Lafayette Park
and formed in line. With two
American flags, they headed to-
ward the Executive Mansion.
Police Interfere
AS they appeared at the north
west gate of the White House
grounds, j. O. Patton and Guy
Rhone, of the crime prevention
police bureau, headed them off
and stopped them for questioning
for parading without a permit.
The men were unaware that the
President was cruising down the
Potomac River. Major E. w.
Brown, superintendent of police,
ordered the veterans to march
to East Seaton Park.
There Mike Thomas appealed
to the men to join him at Fort
Hunt and mentioned the good
food and quarters the men were
enjoying there.
Visitors at Camp
Salzman lost a number of men
then and together with the re.
mainder of his followers, went to
the home of a friend to make
other plans.
Several thousand visitors flocked
at the camp yesterday. The vet
Grams spent most Of their time
lolling in their tents or standing
in the mess line.
In the afternoon the United
States Army band played a two
hour concert, ending with "The
Star-Spangled Banner" to which

+ EAST TROY, Wis, May Is
ITN.SO .-Picketing farmers in
Wisconcin'S milk strike zone con-
tinued to defy authorities today
as heavier forces of deputies
patrolled the highways to pre-
vent a recurrence of the violence
in which 10000 pounds Of mar
ket-bound milk was dumped here
yesterday.
Two hundred striking farmers
seized motor truck caravan at
Simmons Corners and after over
poWering 18 farmer members of
the convoy and two deputy sher-
ifs, the mob spilled upon the
highway the milk from five mo-
tor trucks.
Tear gas hurled by IS deputies
who were waiting $50 yards away
at the Waukesha county line had
little effect as the picketing farm
ers engaged in hand-to-hand com.
bat with members of the milk
convoy. The wind brought the
tear gas fumes back upon the
deputy sheriffs.
700 New Deputies
AS a result Of the violence, the
deputy sheriffs received reinforce
mentS in Waukesha, Walworth
and Racine counties. Seven hun
dred additional deputies were
called out to patrol the roads in
Walworth county after the meleF.
Several participants in the dis
order were cut and bruised. Otto
Marquette, president Of the East
Troy milk pool, was knocked un-
conscious.
Suspension of the Illinois milk
strike had no effect on the holi-
day in the Wisconsin area. Three
thousand farmers meeting at
Wind Lake last night voted to
continue their campaign to shut
off Milwaukee's milk supply.
Rioters Jailed
First arrests in the strike were
made in Racine county when two
men were seized following the
confiscation of three truck loads
of milk at Salem. Steve Cheeky
and Louis Nelson were hurried
off to Jail and charged with
rioting.
The strike area was narrowing
down today to less than IS
counties. State officials expected
to lift the ban in four more
counties today on application of
so per cent Of the producers.
The proclamation of Gov. A. G.
Schmedeman closing down all
processing plants limited the de-
livery of milk to children under
eight and invalidS.
