Hoover Breaks Silence
 To Reveal Reasons For Small Arms Conference
Munitions Probe Produced Reference to Hoover;
 Session in 1925
HE CLAIMS SECRETARY
 OF STATE CALLED IF
Irenee DuPOnt, Sen Vaf- denburg in Hot De-
 bate To-day

Palo Alto, Calif, December 5 (UP) = The 1925 con- ference of sporting arms manufacturers called d by f o r m r President Herbert Hoover when he was secre- tary of commerce and the subject of testimony in yes terday's session of the senate munitions investigation, twas called at the request of the secretary of state," Hoover said today in a formal state- issued at his home.
 The statement marked breaking of the silence Hoover has maintain- ed since his retirement from office.
 Meeting Described
 Testimony in the munitions in-s quiry described a meeting Hoover had called as head of the come merce department attended by arms manufacturers which was made the basis of caustic comment by some participating in the in vestigation.
 ''The full report and details of the conference of sporting armA manufacturers which was called by myself as secretary of commerce in 1925 and yesterday referred to be- fore the senate committee are no doubt in the state department" the statement said.
 Secretary fo State Requested It
 "The conference was called at the request of the secretary of state and for the purpose of giving a hearing to the manufacturerss views as to methods fo discrim- mating between sporting arms on one hand and war arms on the other and such other proper pro- tections as might be necessary to the American industry at an inter-

INKWELLS STOLEN,
 SHRUBBERY GONE
Recent Vandalism at P. 0. May Result in Police
 Protection

Another outbreak of vandalism and petty crime, this time on the post office property, may result in Postmaster James T. Kelley asking police to assign a patrolman to duty on the government-owned property, at least at night. The latest depredations at the new post office building include the theft of a number of inkwells from the lobby and the almost complete de- struction Of siirubbery valued at hundreds of dollars at the Cottage place side of the federal building.
 The shrubbery was placed at the side of the post office. as well as along the front of the building, by expert landscrapers and its pur- pose was to set off the modern lines of the beautiful new federal building. Now, a year and half after the post office building was firot opened, the. Cottage place por- tion of the shrubbery has been trampled, uprooted and in some cases pieces of shrubbery have been entirely removed.
 The loss of the inkwells, accord ing to Postmaster Kelley, would not ordinarily mean much except to show that petty thieves were active, but now it wil result in con- siderable inconvenience for patrons of the post office. There is no re- serve supply of the inkwells on hand, and to replace them 1t will be necessary for requisition to be made to Washington and ap- proved there by tn post office de- partment.
 Postmaster Kelley has not yet filed any complaint with the police department, but he will most probably do so within day or two Apprehension of any of the offenders would undoubtedly result in grave penalties for they would be charged with destruction of fed eral property.

INFANT SHOPPERS IN CRIB; REVIVAL
 EFFORTS ALLFAIL
Three Months Old Son of WATR Pianist Victim
 of Cruel Tragedy

Tragedy struck swiftly and cruel ly this morning, claiming the life of three-and- -one-half months old Allen William Huyghe, when tEe infant was suffocated to death as he buried his face in the pillo " of the crib at his home, BPS North Main street, while his young par ents, MT and Mrs William Huyghe were in an adjoining room. Fail- ure marked every attempt to re- vive the tot, whose father is q staff pianist at Station WATR.
 The father, William Huyghe, who was noted as concert pianist in the Boston area before coming here last spring to take a post with WATR, entered the baby $ room at 9:30 this morning, and found that the infants face was turning blue. He phoned franti- cally to Dr Samuel Fabricant. whose office is nearby at 9 Cooke street, and the doctor told him to attempt artificial respiration while he was on the way. The doctor at- tempted by every medical means to save the baby when he arrived, but his efforts, in the form of ar- tificial respiration and induced breathing, were fruitless. Medi- cal Examiner Dr Edward H.. Kirschbaum attributed death to suffocation.
 The youngsters parents had been in his room only short time be- fore and nothing was amiss. The tot was fed and, then MT and Mrs Huyghe went to the next room.
 News of the pitiful tragedy cast pail of gloom over "BilF Hughes many friends both in and out of the radio field. Members of the WATR staff were almost overcome by the news, but pro- grams had to go on as usual.
 The body was removed to the Arthur Lunny funeral home, 25 Central avenue.

Raymond Moley, Former Brain Truster, Points to
 Renewed Confidence ADDRESSES SESSION OF INDUSTRIALISTS INN. Y. Cooperation Should Be WatchwOrd for Next
 Few Months

New York, December 5 = (UP) = A picture of gradu- ally reviving business and inn proving public opinion, was drawn today by Raymond Moley, former No. 1 Brain Truster and now editor of the magazine Today. He ad- dressed the Congress of Amer ican Industry of the National Association of Manufacturers.
 Despite a certain amount of business unrest which, to some de- gree, was based upon generaliZed fear which has largely been dis sipated and upon impatience with slowly moving adjustments" Moley said, "a geatly improved state of public opinion Nhas developed.
 Private Enterprise Moving
 Largely I believe, as a result, private enterprise has begun to move. People are spending money with more confidence. The pros poets of reducing government ex- penditures become progressively brighter as private enterprise re- vives."
 Calling upon, the 700 industrial ists attending the congress to CO., operate with the government in its moves to bring recovery, the for mer ambassador at large" saw tol- erance as a chief reed at present.

REPEAL IS YEAR
 OLD IN NATION
State Richer But in Argus ment Over Changes in
 Present Law

Hartford, Conn.,, December 5--- OP)-The first anniversary of re- peal found the State of Connecti- cut S1,115,00O richer but involved in bitter conflict over the methods of sale of hard liquor.
 It still is impossible to buy a drink, other than wine, beer, or ale over the bar. Package stores are prohibited from selling less than 8 quart or fifth and drug stores may dispense in half pint quantities and up.
 S,S52 Permits Issued
 The state liquor control conn mission has issued 5.5S2 permits to wholesalers, manufacturers, tav- erns, hotels, restaurants, clubs and drug stores. Of this number 734 voluntarily went out of business because of keen competition. An other 93 had their licenses revoked for various infractions of the law.
 With the converting of the gem eral assembly next month there is expected to be a lively wrangle for the open sale of hard liquor.
 Would Serve Liquors
 Hotels and restaurant particu- larly want to serve liquor with meals. Package store owners aim to obtain the same privileges as drug stores, which are permitted to keep open five hours later a day and sell in smaller quantities.
 Legislation to liberalize the con- trol act has been pledged by the democratic party which has con-, trol of all state offices and a ma- jority in the senate. The republi- can platform also followed the same course and upon it's major- ity in the house may depend the fate of any proposed change.

number now that federal agency is
prepared to Ensure" the note which
the borrower gives.
1t must be understood that these
loans are not going to be made with
reckless abandon; the prospective bor-
rover must, after all, have some sup
port financially and must be able to
show that there is reasonable chance
of repayment. But the point is that
national campaign is about to get
underway which will awaken, it is
hoped, hundreds of homeowners to the
fact that the roof needs repairing or
the front porch steps are in bad shape
or that paper or plumbing should be
looked after.
The law apparently has left several
openings which did not appear to
those who drafted it. For example one
of the housing officials told me that
he could see no reason why farmer
would be precluded from building
pond on his land with the aid of the
loans under the act. 1t occurred to me
that this suggestion was very time
ly, because it is certain that if more
farms had had ponds on them a con-
siderable amount of live stock could
have been watered during this cur
rent drouth.
In connection with the organiza-
tion procedure of the housing admin
istration, want to call attention to
condition that exists in Washington
about which individuals throughout
the country who are seeking jobs
ought to know There were more than
thirty thousand applicants for jobs at
the housing administration offices. 1t
will employ not to exceed five hum
dred persons.
Among those who showed up at
the housing headquarters were sever
distance across the continent. They
told the personnel officer that there
was no work in their home towns so
they packed their little grips and came
to Washington because there was
new agency created. Others had come
from lesser distances and had come
for the same reason. 1t seemed to me
that condition like this ought to be
disclosed and the housing officials re-
quested that report the facts in or
der that others may not be so mis-
guided as to make the long trek to
Washington just in the hope that a
job is here-it isn't.

that he is here three days and in New

appeared to lessen his accepted value

The law under which the housing
administration operates was drafted
for the purpose of enabling house
holders to make repairs and do the
other odd jobs around residence and
small business building which so
easily are allowed to go undone dur
ing periods when money is not flow
ing freely. It is countrywide in its
scope. 1t will operate through the
