A sharp order to denounce the
Greco American etradition treaty as

request for Samuel insult went to
Athens yesterday from this Govern

The unusual instructions were sped
to Lincoln MacVeagh. Minister at
Athens. after Greek courts had refused
to order the return OF the former Chi
cago utilities magnate as sought on a
Cook County, ILL.,, indictment and later
on a Federal bankruptcy charge.
MacVeagh's denunciation of the
accordance with these state Department
directions, would constitute formal

inmate the covenant
Once terminated. officials said. inter-

attempt to obtain insult would have

effect until the expiration Of one year
from the date on which such notice
of termination shall be given by
either Of the high contracting parties.
No hint was given of the possible
American attitude should the Greek
government take any further action in
the insult case during this 12-month
period
Denunciation of the treaty was
decided on by the Government after
thorough consideration of all available
steps. United States authorities on

28.CENT CORN LEVY
IS CUT TO 5 CENTS
Low Tax Will Be Doubled Before
December /, After Consump.
ton Is Steadied.

BY the Associated Press.
Instead of the e cents per bushel
first announced. the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration yesterday fixed
the amount of the initial corn-process-
ing tax at 5 cents per bushel.
Shortly after announcing the 28-cent
levy the Farm Administration called
hearing to determine whether this
figure was too high. Secretary Wallace
said yesterday the testimony showed
"the full legal processing tax of %
cents a bushel imposed on field corn
would cause a reduction in the con-
sumption of corn and tend to build up
burdensome surplus"
There were two primary reasons for
the lower tax. which is to be increased
to 20 cents per bushel by December l..
One was that the 2S-cent tax-the
difference between present prices and
parity-would have penalized floor
stocks of corn products which compete
with industrial products.
Another twas that the Farm Admin
istration wants to fix compensatory
taxes on products which compete with
corn derivatives at the time that the
full amount Of 20 cents is levied.

Abroad Lies Dormant.

The Government apparently eased up
on its foreign gold buying yesterday,
but advanced the price of the metal
when newly mined in the United States
to another new high figure
While dispatches from abroad told of
inactivity on the bullion markets. the
domestic price was increased from S32.57
to s32.67. This change was accompa-
MED by a decrease in the London price
of gold from 1925 Friday to S320S
yesterday.
London advices said only one pur-
chase of gold was made there yes
terday and it a comparatively minor
one involving only 1,l04 pounds worth
OF the metal.
Meanwhile. officials made no COM
ment on the reported imminence of pri-
vate purchases of gold to be imported.
They were not surprised, however, for
