To END
FLUCTUAT|ON
London Economic Conference
Will Attempt To Stabilize
World Currency.
By JOSEPH II. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 25. The
first task of the London economic
conference, officials said today,
will be to end, fluctuation of the
worlds major currencies.
The federal reserve board, in COL
laboration with the Bank of Eng
land and the Bank of France, is
studying methods of ending the
acrobatics of the dollar, franc and
pound. Officials said it was not
yet certain whether there would
be temporary stabilization in ad-
vance of the conference.
. Special emphasis is being placed
on stabilization because it appears
to economic experts as prerequis-
ite to an agreement on tariffs.
Negotiations between the federal
reserve board and the central banks
of England and France are de-
signed to lay basis for stabiliza-
tion when the governments decide
to attempt it. Several methods
have been discussed.
One is creation of a fund by the
three powers to be used to manipu-
late values of currencies artificial
ly by buying and selling operations
!. Officials believed that if this
method were adopted it would be
necessary for the United States to
obtain congressional approval.
Although less than a week re-
mains before the American delega-
ton to London is scheduled to
sail, President Roosevelt still has
not completed it.
Four members have been select
ed-Secretary of State Hull, Chair
man Pittman of the senate foreign
relations committee, Chair m a +
MacReynolds of the house foreign
affairs committee and former Gov
ernor James M. Cox of Ohio.
Mr.. Roosevelt is having difficulty
in finding the two remaining men,
bers. He wants at least one Re-
publican. Senator johnson (Rep.)
California, last night rejected a
place on the delegation.
Secretary of State Hull planned
to entertain ViScount Kikujiro Is
hi, Japan's special envoy to dis
cusS economic subjects, and J. F
De AssiS Brasil, representing Bra
zil, at luncheon today.

mo TRUCE IN
CHINESE WAR

MUKDEN, Manchuria, May 25.
W.P)-Guns of Japanese troops
spoke brisk denial today to re-
ports that a truce had been reach
ed by their representatives at
Peiping.
Two new towns were on the
verge of capture and a third was
purged of it's last remnants of
Chinese forces, according to adj
vices received here.
One of the towns being assailed
was Tangku, situated at the mouth
of the Huen river which provides
seaport for Tientsin, Is miles
inland. The town was surround
ed by Gen. Ting Chi-Wang and his
division of pro-Manchukuo volun-
teerS, reports said.
A Japanese detachment was re-
ported preparing for a triumphal
entry into Pamencheng. 40 kilo-
meters north of Tientsin.
japanese troops were said to have
assumed complete occupancy of
Tungchow, suburb of Peiping,
after squadron of airplanes had
bombarded the Chinese positions.
The defenders fled.
Manchukuo flags were hoisted
atop the citadel in Ningho, north
east of Tientsin. The flags carried
the insignia of the National Sal
vation Army"
One instance of violence occurred
here today as authorities accused
foreign banking interests of foment-
ing discomfort. A japanese patrol
was killed by sniper firing at a
powder magazine. The magazine
failed to explode.
Foreign bankers were accused of
furnishing funds to an anti-Man-
chukuo Civilian army" The prin-
cipal target of attack was the To-
cal branch of the Hongkong -
Shanghai bank whose officials were
charged with communicating with
Hongkong and Shanghai by secret
radio.

WRONG RACING
BILL SIGNED

SACRAMENTO, May 25. U.P)-
State officials today were attempt
ing to find out what procedure
should be followed when the wrong
bill has been signed by the goyer-
nor.
Legislative attaches discovered
that through an error in the en-
groSsment office, Governor Rolph,
Lieutenant Governor Frank f..
Merriam and Speaker Walter Little
of the assembly signed the wrong
horse racing bill.
The measure, an enabling act for
the constitutional amendment on
pari-mutuel betting to be voted on
at the special election, was not the
one actually passed by the legisla-
| ture.
The bill signed provides for %
racing commission of five men,
/ appointed by the governor and con-
firmed by the senate, and allotted
to counties OF more than 100000
population SIS annual racing days.
The amended measure as finally
passed by the senate and assembly
called for commission OF three
members. appointed by the goyer-
nor without confirmation, and per-
mits the large counties 100 racing
days.
The belief was expressed the
mistake would not affect the
broad purpose OF the proposed con-
stitutional amendment, but Off
cials believed the measure signed
would have to be repealed when the
legislature, reconyenes 10 make the
amended form legal, providing tho
proposal receives a majority Of the
popular vote.

Former Democratic Chief Hoped

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 25. = The
late Calvin Coolidge was revealed
today as favored purchaser of j.
P. Morgan e. Co., securities.
The name of the man who was
president of the United States dur
ing the boom years was revealed
on a list of nationally prominent
persons who were given opportun-
tiles to make a quick turnover in
securities offered through the fa-
nous banking house.
The list was made public after
the inquiry had developed an effort
to establish whether the Morgan
firm offered opportunities to make
quick profits in the expectation
that political favors would be off
cred in return.
j. P. Morgan, explaining testi-
mony that he paid income taxes
in England during the years he
paid no income taxes in the Unit
ed States, said in statement just
before the luncheon recess that
the taxes we're under the British
inland tax law and based on the
rental value of property which he
owned there.
Morgan, who surrendered to the
Washington heat today and came
to the hearing without vest, said
the tax amounted to about 1000
pounds sterling in 1880, and about
the same amount in 1881 and 1882.
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, told questioners at the
luncheon intermission that former
President Coolidge exercised
"ground floor' privilege offered
him.
Pecora said that the Standard
Brands stocks, offered at $32 in
June 1929, actually was issued in
September 1929, and in two weeks
passed s45 per share.
Ferdinand Pecora, committe coun-
sci, at once asked George Whitney,
Morgan partner on the stand, on
whose recommendation the name
of Calvin Coolidge appeared on
the list.
81 should assume it was by Mr..
Thomas Cochran. He was close
friend of his" Whitney replied.
The stock was offered preferred
clients at $32 share, the price
Morgan paid.
Today the stock is at $19.
A letter from John j. Raskob.
former chairman of the Democratic
national committee, was the basis
Of the attempt to connect Morgan
favors with political returns. Ras-
kob wrote that he hoped the future
would give him "an opportunity
to reciprocate' for the courtesies
extended by the Morgan company.
Baruch Included
The new list of preferred Nor
gan purchasers were those who
dealt in Standard Brands, Inc. A
preferred list of those permitted to
buy Allegheny Corporation stock
below the market level was made
public yesterday. Testimony since
has shown there were at least five
of these preferred issues. the 9TH
ers being United Corporation. Cen
eral Motors and Johns-Manville.
The new preferred list included
the name of Bernard Baruch. 1t
also included the names of some
who we're shown yesterday to have
bought Allegheny Corporation stock

GENEVA, May 25. Japan,

manded before the disarmament
commission today a new naval
agreement, replacing those of Wash

competition.
Naotake Sato, chief japanese
delegate, said before the full COM
mission, already far away from the
rose tinted situation that followed
President Roosevelt IS peace letter,
that new agreement should be
included in any future disarmament
convention.
Capt. Anthony Eden, acting chief
British delegate, rose at once and
said:
"I would regret if the confer
ence accepted the japanese pro-
posal. I must say frankly it is not
of such a nature as to assist in our
work.

States delegate, who last week off,

tic isolation in an effort to lead the
world toward disarmament, followed

Opposing Sato's proposal, Davis
appealed to the conference to ac-

signatories to the Washington and
London treaties would remain
bound to their pledges to reduce.
These treaties, he said, not only
halted race for naval ornaments
but chad a continuing influence

commission when in behalf of
smaller nations he asked the aboli-
ton of all battleships of more than
10000 tons.
Statement No Surprise
That is the size of the famous
"pocket battleships" officially
cruisers, to which Germany is linn
tied under the Versailles treaty.
"The five great naval powers
have among them 4,276,0OO tons of
battleshipS, said Madariaga.
"The rest of the world has but
100000"
Though Sato did not go into de-
tails about his proposal, it was no
surprise TO delegates-rather an un-
pleasant expectation fulfilled, for
Japan has not concealed her de-
sire to increase in her favor the
present 5-5-3 naval ratio that re-
stricts her to three tons of naval
ships for each five tons maintained
by Great Britain and the United
States.
Not only as a matter of prestige
but in order to defend their Asia
tic Monroe policy, japanese have
emphasized the necessity for more
favorable ratio.
