Georgetown Tactics
Draw Carnegie Fire
In Press Statement

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 20.-Tac-
tics not precisely foursquare at
tributed by Carnegie Tech players
and officials to the rabid football
enthusiasts of Georgetown Uni
versity, threatened today to sever
relations between the two institu-
tions.
Targets for eggs of ancient vint
age following their 19-to-0 football
victory over the Washington
eleven at the Capital Saturday,
skibo players returned here indig-
nant over the treatment accorded
them during and after the game.
School officials awaited the re-
turn of Clarence Overend, gradu-
ate manager of athletics, before
taking a definite stand in the
movement started by aroused
Carnegie men to break relations
with Georgetown.
Witnesses said the Tech players
had emerged from their dressing
rooms and entered a bus bound
for their hotel when a shower of
bad eggs spattered the vehicle.
Howard Harpster, Carnegie
coach, had this to say:
"The Georgetown team played
one of the toughest games 1
have ever witnessed. Johnny
Sayles and Jerry O'TOOle were
knocked cold, Ken Spencer had
his shoulder diSIOcated and is
out for the season.
THE fans came down from
the temporary stands and
punched and kicked our boys,
and after it was all over
Coach Hagerty never so much
as put in his appearance on
the field, in the dressing room
or in the hotel afterwards.

PRICE PROBLEM
LAID BEFORE
ROOSEVELT
Data on Which Retail Code
Will Be Based Studied by
President While Away
BY international News Service


A final decision on the price
provisions of the retail code
perhaps the most important prob
lem yet to confront the NRA
program-will be made by Presi.
dent Roosevelt.
All available information on the
code for 100000 retailers has
been transmitted to the President
for study.
In reaching a decision whether
to permit the retail code to con-
tain a provision against selling
below wholesale cost plus 10 per
cent and a resale limitation in
the retail drug code, the Presi-
dent will have copious advice.
On Job in Sickbed
Not only is Hugh S. Johnson,
NRA administrator, preparing a
report despite his illness, but
Deputy Administrator A. D. White
side, the Consumers Advisory
Board and experts of the economic
and planning division of the NFSA
have formulated advice.
On the one hand the President
faced the opinion Of 99.6 per cent
of the retailers writing the NRA
that the loss limitation provision
is necessary to stabilize the bust.
ness.
Against this he had the report
of experts of the Economic and
Planning Board, which declare
the loss limitation. which they
call price-fixing, not only will
hurt merchants but will endanger
the whole NRA program. Con-
sumers' board experts take like
view.
Lack of Power Seen
The NRA also is regarded gen.
orally as being without power to
force the retailers of the nation
to accept a code, because the law
is designed to cover interstate
commerce.
The retailers, however, are
seeking a code. Unlike the coal
operators, who at first baked
at code proposals, they volun-
teered to come under the NRA
program to help stabilize and
speed business.
Reports that the President would
seek compromise plan designed
to protect retailers against unfair
price cutting and at the same
time meet the objections Of NFSA
economists were rife.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. wrought by
the tropical hurricane that laShed
the eastern coast of Mexico as
sumed new proportions today with
dispatches telling Of widespread
damage in the state of Guerrero
and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Originally thought to have been
confined to the vicinity OF Tam
pico, the storm actually caused
heavy damage and possibly took a
heavy toll of life in the areas
south of the once rich oil port on
the Gulf of Mexico.
Gen. Benecio Lopez, chief OF
military operations in the State
Of Guerrero, telegraphed the war
department, stating the city OF
Ayutla was inundated and all Its
buildings destroyed.
Ask Relief Trains
At the same time, gradual resto-
ration of main line communlca-
ton facilities disrupted by the
storm enabled the first word from
Tehuantepec to reach here.
Gen. Jesus Garcia Gutierrez,
chief of military operations on the

mediate aid. He said:
"RiSing waters of the Suchiate
River in ChiapaS are threaten
ing the surrounding country.
The water is rising scientifically.
Please send trains to rescue

A million peso fund for relief
was in sight after the Chamber Of
Deputies appropriated 100000
pesos and the national lottery
gave $4,000, while other donations
poured in from business houses.

TAMPICO, Mexico, Sept. q
UN.S0 The rich oil port of
Tampico, ravaged by hurricane
and floods, was menaced again
today by a new rise in the waters
Of the Panuco and Tamesi rivers.
Gen. Anselmo Macias, military
commandant here, who has been
heading relief work, sent wire
less message to President Abelardo
Rodriguez in Mexico City advising
him of the new threat to the
safety of survivors.
The water rose again in the
inundated streets of the city as
rescue workers strove to care for
the hundreds injured in the dis
aster and probed in sodden ruins
for the bodies of additional dead.
Seventy-eight bodies have been
recovered in Tampico and Car
denas and rescue workers ex-
pressed fears that many bodies
remained buried in the ruins in
inundated areas.
Six LOOters Shot
Dealing mercilessly with looterS,
six of whom were shot down by
the military, General Macias re-
cruited all able-bodied men to
aid his troops in bringing some
measure of order to the stricken
city.
A careful check by General
Macias of the damage wrought
by the hurricane disclosed that
not a single structure escaped.
Seventy-five per cent of the city'S
houses were destroyed, while the
remaining Is per cent were dam
aged.
One of the city's chief prob
lens was the lack of railway or
other means of transportation. A
Acton boulder fell across the
tracks of the Mexican National
Railways at Ebano.
Tracks for miles east Of Tam
pico remained under water.
Danger of Plague
Meanwhile, the danger of
pestilence grew despite the order
of General Macias that all bodies
be burned Immediately.
With only 400 soldiers on hand,
the authorities were handicapped
in their cleanup work. General
Macias asked that additional
troops be sent from Vera Cruz.
Scarcity of food supplies also
assumed alarming proportions.
Survivors were put on short ra-
tions pending re-establishment Of
train service.

President Expected to Issue
Statement on Credits at

NEW YORK. Sept 27 G.N.S).
With indications pointing to a
possibility of a definite statement
on monetary and credit policies
during his stay at his country
residence, President Roosevelt to-
day was to leave here for his
HYDE Park home.

inauguration last evening. to be
greeted by CHEERING thousands
who lined he streets to demon
strate their confidence and affec-
ton as the Presidential party sped
from the PENNSYLVANIA Station to
the Roosevelt town house.
Rodgers In Party
Possibility of a statement on
credit policy being issued at Hyde
Park was seen in the fact that
President Roosevelt was accom-
panied from Washington by Prof.
James H Rodgers. of Yale, one
of his advisers on currency prob
lens. who has just returned from
Europe as an unofficial observer"
for the Administration.
Rodgers presence aboard the
train from washington, coupled
with the fact that the President
had conferred just previous to his
departure with Senator Bulkley
of Ohio, high ranking Democrat
on the banking committee, led to
speculation on his attitude to-
ward methods to be used in the
campaign for higher prices and
increased wages.
Guest at Dinner
The President last night ats
tended a dinner marking the de-
parture for Europe of his son
James and the latter's wife. His
only visitor during the evening
was Jesse Strauss, ambassador to
