Trade Hearing To
Be In Florida
VIII Carry Code Investiga-
ton to Scene of Trouble

g WASHINGTON. Aug. "a. (UP)
The federal trade commissions
hearing on the case of the Purity
Ice company of Lakeland, Fla,
charged with violating the ice code
by NRA, will be moved to Florida
in order to obtain actual evidence
concerning local conditions at the
conclusion of the Washington
hearings, expected tomorrow, it
was learned tonight.
The announcement was made
shortly after Taylor, chairman of
the ice code authority, had testi-
fed that practically every village
and hamlet" has its own ice plant,
and that the industry is in sore
need of production regulation.
Establishment by the Purity
company of new reproducing
plant at Lakeland without first
obtaining a certificate of "public
necessity and convenience" as
provided in the ice code caused
NRA to ask the commission for
a citation against the firm.

JAPAN'S POLICY MADE
BUT is NOT REVEALED

TOKYO, Aug Z4.--lpPl-
Japanese leaders have reached an
agreement on a naval program,
particularly concerning their at

Washington treaty, Premier Kus-
uke Okada said today.
He refused to reveal what he
and his ministers had decided re-
garding the plan to announce i'm

The government probably will
take no action until after the pre-
liminary naval conversations next
October, in London.
The premier, interviewed aboard
a train returning from a visit to
the imperial family at their sum-
mer palace, defended the new
navy budget, increased consider
able over the budget for last year,
insisting the funds were necessary
because of actual needs.

Margoshes, New York editor, and
Professor M. H. Kallen. 1t said:

the statement of the American

"Henceforth, there can be for
us only one objective in America,

fine FLOWERS
Seen IN SHOW
Annual Exhibit Starts To-
day Will Be Open to 10
O'clock Tonight

Large numbers of local people
and visitors today were visiting
the 18th annual flower show I'M
der the auspices of the Woman's
club.
The show opened this morning
at the city gymnasium at IL
o'clock and will remain open I'M
til this evening at 10 o'clock.
Judging of the flowers in the
various groups was in progress
this afternoon and winners will
be announced tomorrow.
Flowers shown this year were
fewer in number, but in quality
were up to those shown in pre-
vious years. The quality of the
flowers shown is considered very
good in view of the fact that this
summer has been unfavorable for
flower growing.
Outstanding in the way of an
exhibit is a miniature rock gar
den, designed by Steve Camp,
and this exhibit was attracting
much attention of visitors to the
show. Mr.. Camp has constructed
a complete rock garden with 4
large number of plants used in
such gardens. The garden also
contains a small fish pool with
gold fish.
The shadow box pictures shown
at the show were also attracting
much attention from those at
tending. This class had been
judged this afternoon, but the
winner will not be announced I'M
til tomorrow when all results are
made public. :.
The shadow box pictures dis
play rich blending of colors and
artistic arrangements of the sub
jects used in arranging the boxes.

Some Party Men Disavow

With Group
ICKES FAVORS SCHEME
AS CONSTRUCTIVE

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. (uP),
A challenge to the newborn
American Liberty league to pro
coed with re-alignment Of pollti-
cal parties came last night from
high administration quarters as
phalanx of Democratic senators
FASTENED to disassociate them
selves from any conservative, bl-
party backfire against the new
deal. 49,.
First administration reaction
to the league-sponsored by Al
fred E. Smith, John w. Davis
and prominent Republicans-came
from Secretary of interior Har'
old L. Ickes, a Progressive Re
publican-New Dealer. He vel,
coined the league in the belief II
would lead to the re-alignment OF
parties in this country.
Five Democratic senators, ire
uuently mentioned as dlssenterS
from new deal experiments, got
from under in a statement. issued
by the Democratic national com,
mittee. The statement did not
mention the Liberty league but
challenged reports in "Repuoll'
can newspapers" that these sena-
tors would participate in forma'
ton of a conservative congress
ional bloc composed of Republi-
cans and Democrats,
President Roosevelt was to dis
cuss the Liberty league at his
regular press conference today
It was believed he could not make
any objection to the organization
of any group for examination OF
national problems and to Offer
constructive criticism. The new
deal and the league are likely to
be on a basis of outward If not
enthusiastic friendship at the out
set. But it appeared today that
the brown derby philosophy OF
Smith and the new deal liberal
ism of Mr.. Roosevelt ultimately
would come into conflict.
First intimation of administra-
ton reaction to the Republican.
Democratic league came from
Ickes who said he thought the
league was cline"

1912 when the Bull Moose party
was organized" he said, chat we
would have political parties divid-

it was working out that way at

To-day we have different
groups in each party. I'd like to
see all the progressives together
and all the conservatives togeth-
er. Then always would be fac
ing your enemy and not wonder
ing about what is happening be-
hind your back"
Ickes was asked if he thought
the Democratic party would "con-
tinue to be progressive"
81 don't know any man in this
country who could take the prog
ressive leadership away from

piled.

was asked.

PARIS, Aug. 24.-(UP)-High
British naval authorities are can
wasting the other powers on their
attitude toward possible postpone
ment of the world naval confer
ence until 1887.
The British were represented as
disappointed at meager results of
the preliminary conversations
which have been held in London
during the past six months.
The political tension in Europe,
as well as in the Far East, where
rumors of clashes between Russia
and Japan have kept diplomats
anxious for a year, make a naval
limitation conference most diff
cult at this time, it was admitted.
And observers agreed there APP
peared to be little hope the STU
alton would improve sufficiently
by the first of the year to permit
such parley to succeed.
The United States was under
stood to favor postponement, es-
pecially if this prevents Japan's
rumored intention of denouncing
the present Washington and Lon
