DEMOCRATS PUSH.
FIGHT ON MERGER
Hoover Protest Against Oh
struction Vain, as House
Moves Are Planned.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Democrats will proceed with
their plans to block President Hoover's
Government regrouping program despite
the vigorous protests of the Chief
Executive.
The House Expenditures Committee
meets tomorrow and Chairman Coch-
ran will seek to have reported out a
resolution he has drawn to kill Mr..
Hoover's proposals for regrouping SO
separate agencies into nine divisions.
Later the Democratic leadership will
move to give President-elect Roosevelt
much greater powers to reorganize the
Federal Government in the interests of
economy. Mr.. Roosevelt has said he
would accept such responsibility.
Returning from Southern fishing
trip yesterday, President Hoover called
in newspaper men and told them that
II any reorganization is to be more than
make believe" Congress either must
keep Its hands off now" or it txmust
give the incoming Chief Executive vir-
tually free rein. Mr.. Hoover termed
the opposition to his plan a backward
step"
Soon after the President sent his
recommendations to Congress December
9 in special message, opposition from
Democrats and Republicans alike gave
notice that Congress probably would
never approve them.
Cochran said yesterday it would be
unjust and most unfair" to Mr.. Roose-
velt to make so many changes only a
few weeks before he takes office March
4. Democratic leaders have seized upon
reorganization as part of their plan to
economic and balance the budget.

ADVANCED
TO BOLSTER TRADE
Andrews Proposes Postal
Stamp Urging Purchase
of American Goods.

Three new proposals were made to-
day by House members to stimulate
business and hasten the return of
steady employment.
Representative A. Piatt Andrew, Re-
publican, Of Massachusetts,, suggested
that all postmasters throughout the
country use a cancellation stamp bear
ing some such slogan as BUY goods
made by our own people," or Put Ameri-
cans to work when you buy" He wrote
to Postmaster General Brown, pointing
out that many other countries are
adopting such methods of stimulating
trade, industry and employment.
Andrew argued that such a drive
should be very helpful toward relief of
the American working man. He told
the Postmaster General that If neces-
sary he believes legislative authority for
such cancellation stamp could be had,
but hopes it will be possible to avoid
the delay by administrative order.
Contending the Scent postal rate is
putting the brakes on business, Repre-
sentative Ludlow, Democrat, of Indiana,
introduced a bill directing a return to
the 2-cent rate on first-class mail.
If it could be proven that 3-cent
postage has increased the Government
revenue at time when income is so
Sorely needed" Ludlow said. that
would be one argument for its con-
tinuance. though 1 doubt whether it
should be controlling. But there
is the unchallenged testimony of hun
dredS of Indiana business concerns
that tell of the blighting effect of s.
cent postage on business and how it
tends to dwarf Government revenue"
measure to levy additional tariff
on goods from countries with depre-
ciated currencieS was introduced by
Representative Hill, Democrat of Wash
ington. member of the Ways and
Means Committee.
The tax would become effective If
the articles came from a country whose
currency was per cent below its par
value The levy would begin at 1 per
cent OF the dollar value of the i'm
ported article and would increase in
proportion to the currency depreciation.

THREATS OF RAIN

MEMPHIS, Tenn, January A.
Threatening clouds hovered over large
sections of Mississippi and Arkansas
today as crews fought to strengthen
levees weakened by rushing waters.
Additional rain at this stage, engi-
neers say, would add to the danger fac
ing levees on the st. Francis River in
Southern Missouri and Northern
Arkansas. and on the Tallahatchie Riv-
er and Cassidy Bayou in the Delta of
Mississippi, which already have over
flowed much acreage.
A minor break in the St Francis

sheets Of water into lowlands for two
square miles, but engineers said the
flood waters would not get out of the
lowlands. Workmen hoped to repair
the crevasse today.

men, under the direction of Federal
engineers, were piiing sandbags en-
Ievees. and to the north a drainage
ditch was being damned in three places
to hold st. Francis backwaters. The
Engineers are hoping there will be no
further rain in that TERRITORY.
Big Lake, near Blytheville, Ark. al
ways flood threat. was the scene of
activity today as officials sent workers
to throw up Sandbag embankmentS to
take care of further rises.
In Mississippi Cassidy Bayou rose
nearly inches last night, sending
streams OF water into Glendora, scene
of terrific battle a year ago. and into
Swan Lake, as well as Webb and Sum-
ner. where some business houses are al
ready under water.

ITALY TRIES OUT
INVESTING SCHEME
National Investment Trust
Formed to Save Indus
tries and Banks.
BY Gable to The Star.

Dy Ndolc 70 ING otbi
ROME, January 4.-Fascism has just
performed successful TRANSMISSION OF
capital from swollen bank accounts OF
timid investors into the anemic veins
of industry-one of the most difficult
and most desperately needed operations
which political surgery can attempt on
any industrial national economy today
This TRANSMISSION indicates that Fas-
ciSms plan for controlling industry
through capital may safely be pushed
further
The operation, an experiment, con-
sisted of the public offering Of bonds
by the Italian Share Institute. which
has been entirely subscribed by indi-
vidual investors. The amount is small
only $5,00o,0 900, but it Is important
because Of the possibilities it shows and
the advance 1t constitutes over pre-
vious methods for achieving the same
purpose.
May OFFER Much More.
The institute may be expected. when
market conditions warrant, to offer
500 900 900 or s150,000,000 worth of
bonds to the public.
The $4,000, 900 raised by the present
Offering will be loaned to industries to
consolidate their short-term debts on
1 long term basis at lower interest rates
putting banks, which have been flnanc-
ing them, in more liquid position.
The institute is in effect a govern
ment investment trust. The principle Of
ties backed by the governments pres
tige and in some cases by the govern
ment's own credit.
The present $4,000, 900 bond issue is
backed not only by first mortgages on
property OF companies to which the
money will be loaned, but also by notes
given by the government to these COM
panies in payment" for goods and
services.
The institute was formed in order to
take over securities held by the Banca
Commerciale Italiana, constituting one
tenth of all corporate stocks in Italy
and representing the control Of one
third of all Italian industry. The
agonizing decline of these stocks farther
and farther below the values at which
the Banca Commerciale was carrying
them on its books was forcing the bank
to catastrophe not only for itself, but
also quite likely for all italian industry
and finance as well.
Formed Holding Company.
The government stepped in. took over
the Banca Commercials holdings of
their book value, formed the institution
as a holding company for them and
saved the situation
Notes given in payment for the great
er part of these shares will be paid by
issuing securities of the institute itself.
When this process is completed, the
Italian investing public will indirectly
own and the italian government will
control one-third of all the industry in
the country.
Thereafter, If the government chooses
to do SO, 1t may acquire larger and
larger control of national industry by
selling more and more of its own securi-
ties to the public, using the proceeds to
buy up corporate stock.
Facism thereby would do much to
create what outsiders would call state
socialism, but which the Facists them
selves prefer to name the cooperative
state"
