AGREE EMENT
HOPED FOR

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ia. ,U.Rf--
A successful conclusion to negotia-
tions for American recognition OF
the Soviet Union before President
Roosevelt leaves Friday for a va
cation at Warm Springs, Ca, was
hoped for in administration circles
today.
Maxim Litvinov, foreign COM
missar. held himself ready for con-
ferences either at the White House
or state department. 1t was indi-
Gated that resumption of formal
conversations depended possibly on
word from Moscow, or some new
overture by this government.
Involved in the negotiations were
the broad subjects of debts and
claims, propaganda and trade with
negotiators on each side officially
silent. 1t was thought likely that
on both sides study was being Civ
en- technical points raised at Litvin-
ov's Sunday night conference at
the White House.
The possibility of increasing Am
erican imports of Soviet goods, to
insure American credits extended
to the Soviet, was understood to be
under study on the American side.

LEON|DS SUPPOSED To APPEAR
TONIGHT OR TOMORROW NIGHT

is expected TO reach its maximum
tonight or tomorrow night between
midnight and dawn. Cloudy skies
prevented efforts to observe pos
sible early arrival last night.
The milkman and others who OBJ
serve the northeast sky tonight may
see small stars shooting toward
earth, leaving a blazing trail of
light. DR.. Struve said. Most of
them burn themselves out before
they reach the earth.
The main group of the Leonids
in their orbit around the sun made
their most spectacular appearance
in 1866, when they made the heav-
ems look like fiery umbrella. Each
year in mid-November the earth
and the Leonids swing close to-
gether, but only three times in a
century do their orbits cross.
The photographs, if any are made,
will be studied in an effort to de-
termine the radiant and plot the
course of the Leonids. Scientists
have been puzzled by their failure
to make their full appearance in
1899 and 1892.

HUGE BONUS
ADMIT TED IN
STOCK DEAL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. U.P)-
Harry F. Sinclair testified today in
senate stock market investigation
of S33,90000 Sinclair oil stock syn
dimate that $S00,052.75 share of pro-
fits was given 20 the president of
a competing company during the
period when negotiations were un-
der way for merger of the COM
petitor with the Sinclair Consolidat-
ed Oil Corporation.
William S. Fitzpatrick, head of
Prairie Oil and Pipe Line company,
was identified as receiving the
S300,053.73 in 1929. Sinclair said
the merger took place in March,
1892. and had been in intermittent
negotiations for five years.
Sinclair refused to admit any link
between the profit shared with
Fitzpatrick and the subsequent
merger.
Sinclair testified that Fitzpatrick
"didn't do anything" for the syn
dicate.
"Then why was he given a 2la
per cent interest?' Ferdinand Pc
cora. committee counsel, asked.
You III have to ask him. Sim
clair replied. 81 can t tell you.'
Sinclair said that he initiated the
Gil stock syndicate in 1928 from
which participants took a $12,002,-
109.41 profit.
Witness Is Bland
Sinclair was a cool witness. His
gaze rested steadily on Ferdinand
Pecora, committee counsel.
"Had you received specific auth
ority from your board of directors
to make a proposition to Arthur w.
Cutten?D Pecora asked after Sim
clair testified that he had discussed
with Cutten in August. 1928, the
sale of 100000 shares of Sinclair
oil stock.
cit was not a proposition, Sim
clair said. "It was discussion. y
It was Sinclair IS first appearance
on Capitol Hill since the oil scan
dals of the Harding administration,
which resulted in three months
jail sentence for the oil man OH
contempt of the senate charges.
Sinclair said he had number OF
conversations with Cutten.
"Who took the initiative in those
discussions? Pecora asked.
81 did, Sinclair replied between
puffs.
.'Give the committee the SUBJ
stance of your discussions with
Cutten'', Pecora said.
"Mr. Pecora. - Sinclair said, 81

FRENCH REPLY
To RESULT Of
HITLER 'SVOTE

PARIS, Nov. IA. U.P) - In an
official enunciation of the French
Foreign policy today, Joseph Paul
Roncour, foreign minister, declared
that the revolution" implied in the
Hitler vote last Sunday mad Crush
ed Ehe forces upon which France
had counted for rapprochment
with Germany"
Paul-Boncour's statement to the
chamber of deputies was regarded
as Frances reply to the German
nationalism, expressed in the over
whelming vote of support given Hit
iers policy of withdrawal from the
league and the arms conference.
THE conceptions dominating the
present German policy" he declar-
led, ARE notably exaltation Of ma
tional sentiment. They create risks
against which neighboring people
must safeguard themselves.
"At the same time, it will not pre-
vent tL.em from examining any def
mite propositions addressed to them.
These rearmament preparations,
begun a long time ago in Germany,
have precipitated a situation il
which it is not astonishing if the
neighboring countries are disquiet-
ed. What should France do?
"If Germany rearms, that means
an armament race, and France
would be forced to rearm also.
There are two alternatives-a pol
icy of force, or International COL
laboration. France has chosen the
second, but we demand tnat tie
collaboration for which we have
made so many sacrifices shall not
be in vain.
France worked toEar6s achieving
& disarmament convention, and
lacked only Germany's signature"

the first time the Leonids failed

again in 1855, but in 1899 they

mittee's inquiry into charges OF
primary.
That's a lie; you never fired my
husband in your life" shouted Mrs.
Hilda Phelps Hammond, head Of
the woman's organization seeking
removal of the Long regime from
Louisiana politics.
Long had testified that he had
fired Hammond from two state
Jobs paying S4OO monthly each, and
when challenged by Mrs. Hammond,
replied:
"II prove it if that's what you
want
Senator M M. Logan, acting
chairman of the committee, pound
ed for order and the argument was
dropped.
The chairman then questioned
Long about the use of dummy
candidates" in the primary in which
Senator John Overton defeated Ed
win S. Broussard.
"Yes, we used dummy candidates,
said Long, "but so did the other
side. Broussard would have been
licked anyway as he has no per-
sonal following in the state. The
people who voted for him were
against me-"
Discussing patronage, Long said;
I'VE gave jobs to the people who
supported us. We practice politics
in Louisiana like they do every
place else. The jobs go to our
friends.
But a dozen patronage votes
aren't worth one farmer vote. Every
time we gave one man a job VIZ
made 10 enemies. I wish we didn'
have any patronage at all We'i

SMALL PACKERS
AWARDED HOGS

CHICAGO, Nov. IL U.R) = The
government began today to turn
over to small packers for processing
the supply of hogs purchased on
the open market here last week in
an effort TO relieve deadlock be-
tween buyers and sellers.
The action led to immediate talk
among the trade that the govern
ment was out to discipline the large
packing companies.
Hog trading remained at a stand
still as statesmen looked to the gov
ernment for further relief from
the deadlock which has paralized
activity since the middle of last
week.
AS the market opened, statesmen
and killers still could not agree on
prices. The packers insisted s4.35
per hundredweight was a reasonable
price under present conditions while
the statesmen asked $3.50.

BERTH BY COIN TOSS
Munger, Who Won Trip by Calling
Turn, Proves His Worth in
Ohio State Game.

UNIVERSITY, Va, october r.
u Eugene Munger owes his place in
the Virginia varsity backfield to a
lucky penny. At least it was the flip OF
a coin, backed up by real ability, that
gained him the right to place in the
starting lineup against Columbia on
Saturday.
Last Fall Munger was first team
Quarterback on the Virginia first year
foot ball squad. Before that he had
PLAYED three years as held general LOT
the Hill School.
This season, however, Munger had
been somewhat overshadoWed IN carry
practice by several others VINO NAG come
IN to the varsity squad along with MN.
He had been running with the second
team. sometimes with the third.
Last Wednesday when Virginia's squad
was chosen for the Ohio State trip
Munger wasn't selected. But he was
told that he and two others could NIP
coins for the extra place. Munger won
the toss and went along.
II was late in the third quarter be-
fore Gene had a chance to go in. He
took the place of Harry Martin. Cav
alier backfield ace, as quarterback. IWc
minutes later he stood just inside MS
own goal line and kicked out OF bounds
on the Buckeye 20. A few moments
later, when Pincura whipped long pass
to Rees, he caught the fleet END IN the
| open. =,
Throughout the remainder OF play ne
continued to distinguish himself, with
the result that he has been given a
place in the varsity backfield quartet
And he may be started as one OF the
halfbacks against Columbia when Vr-
ginia goes to Baker Field.
Munger's home is in Birmingham
Ala. He weighs 161 pounds, is feet
! 10 inches tall, and is 81 years old. He
