HOUSING DRIVE

Other Org ations to Back Administration s
 Recovery Move :.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.- Big business leaders gave every indi- cation of putting full force behind the housing drive as means of hurring recovery and striking blow at unemployment thus pre- venting Congress from plunging far to the left.
 This was disclosed today from an authoritative source and prob ably will be the chief plank in the recovery program which the spokes- men of the United States Chamber of Commerce and other organiza- tions will present to the White House.
 The decision to draw up this program is a momentous step in the new movement for cooperation between business and the White House and the program has been ratified by the Directors of the United States Chamber of Com merce.
 It is learned that business lead CTS have been meeting in New York for weeks working toward this objective.

 BEING RUSHED

Government Investigator to Be Called to Refute
 Some Testimony

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 17.- The Government today pushed its case against Samuel Insull and code fendants toward a conclusion with Harold Huling, Special Assistant to the United States Attorney, who spent two years directing the h. sull investigation, under call to take the stand and wind up the prosecu- tion's rebuttal which was begun yesterday.
 Tie Government intends to con- tradict young Insults testimony that the Insun fortune went down with the ship" in the collapse of the Corporation Securities Con- pany.
 From Insull's private accountant, w. A. Jarvey, the Government de- veloped that the Insulls were al- ready clear when the corporation failed with hundreds of millions of losses. The Governments answer is that the Insull losses were mostly on paper.

Permanent Agency Recom- mended-Richer Life

WASHINGTON, Nov. IT. - The New Deal, if the National Plan- ming Board has it's way, will per petuate national planning as a means of a richer life for the masses, an indispensable bulwark against violent explosions
 The boards report, made public today, recommended a permanent planning agency limited largely to educational and coordination func- tionS.
 Comment is withheld, but per- sons close to President Roosevelt are inclined to believe he favored the suggestion of leaving economic planning to private business.
 The board said public interest should go hand in hand with plan ming in private interest.
 The report declared that condi- tions have developed which the great masses of people will not tolerate nor should they tolerate and warned that not passive &C., ceptance but violent explosion is the alternative if we fail to develop security and progress by rational evolutionary methods"

|C PROMISE ON NAVAL EQUALITY HIS TURNED DOWN
Indications Are Japanese | Delegation Will Again Force Deadlock
LONDON NEGOTIATIONS
 MAY AGAIN BE HELD UP
nited States Remains Steadfast on Insisting
 on 5-5-3 Ratio

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Rejec- ti0n by Japan of the British compromises on the all inn pOrtant question of naval equality threatened today to again deadlock the Tri-Power Naval Conference tighter than ever.
 It is authoritatively learn ed that the Japanese Govern ment has instructed it's dele gates to reject the English suggestions that Japan be granted naval equality in name but not in fact.
 This will bring the nego- Itiations to an impasse stage again.
 The delegates of Great Bri- tain indicated they hoped the United States might recede somewhat from it's insistence that the present 5-5-3 ratio be maintained.
 Fears are expressed that ruinous naval armaments competition will result if the delegates at the Fri Power Conference cannot agree on some plan for limitation.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-In eating Thanksgiving din n CT, Americans should be thankful for celery and sweet potatoes.
 These two items on the menu, ranging from soup to nuts, are about the only two which have not gone up in price.
 The entire dinner cost will be about 10 to l2 percent higher than a year ago, survey showed, pri- marily due to the increased cost of labor and last summers drought.
 The higher dinner price will hit the Middle West and East but the West will not feel it so strongly. Turkeys in the West will be as cheap as last year, it is said.

Entente Is Broken

For one thing the scars left by this campaign scarcely can be healed easily.
 Some very bitter things have been said. Republican charges that the Democrats were buying the cleo ton with Government expendi- lures were designed to bring into question the very sincerity of the Administration. The replies have been in kind
 The entente is broken. Retribu- ton will be in the minds of many public men in and out of office.
 There is today no recognition, as there was two years ago, that elec- ton day marked the beginning of new era. The new era has had it's chance. and the natural thing is for the enemities it has aroused to grow stronger, rather than weaker, as time goes on.
 In other words, the election of 1892 meant the turning of a cor ner. Men were wary of taking a stand until thek knew a little more about the new pathway ahead. This year the election means stand until they knew a little way now somewhat familiar.
 Those who do not like that path way now say so directly.

 FOR OPENING
 OF CONGRESS
Nye's s Munitions Investigat ors Must Share Honors
 with VIM Com.
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Re- sumption of the Nye committees s investigation of the munitions in- dustry is billed as the headliner on Capitol Hill prior to the opening of the main show on January 3, but there's another attraction which will rival it in general interest.
 That will> be when the Ways and Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate tackle the problem of tax legislation for the next Con- gress.
 Pat Harrison of Mississippi heads the group in the Senate and Sam Hill of Washington that in the House.
 There will be little of the spec tacular about the Harrison shows In all probability it will be held behind closed doors and little known of it until the show is over. That's how tax bills usually are written.
 There will be, however, probably as much speculation and as much written about the deliberations of these two groups as about any, thing going on in Washington dur ing the next two months.

Price Sees End of Campaign
 Bringing No Political Truce
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Passage of the campaign of 1894 into history does not mean that politics is adjourned.
 For special reasons, not even a temporary truce in political activity appears in the cards.
 Two years ago the situation was different. The Democrats were so securely in the saddle, and the Re- publicans so demoralized and be- wildered, that for the time being both sides seemed content to for give and forget.
 During the first Roosevelt con- gress the submergencet of party reached a stage seldom paralleled in history. It would be extraordi- nary if that phenomenon were re- peated again in this generation. All signs are that it certainly cannot be repeated during the second Roosevelt Congress.
 No one questions that the Presi- dent again will be in control, but neither does any informed politi- clan expect him to win many of his victories in the future by de- fault, as he did so often in the past. However small the opposition, it will be there, and fighting.

you have received, and to know that
we are capable of having a United

than doing your part with the assis-

devotion.
4 know Of NJ administration that I
can appreciate as well as I do this
one because it seems that the presi-
dent, with your assistance, has done
more than any other before in his
tory for the benefit kf humanity.
During your campaign a number Of
people I knew said that because YOU
were from Texas, you would be sre-
JUDGE and would not manifest fair
play to all. Being an offspring from
the same town, knowing there v
was a fairer, better people than the

I am the public treasury.
! must be kept under constant
guard against looters and despoilers.
As never before 1 have been con-
verted into a ponderous feed trough.
A veritable deluge is being poured

jostling, gEasping, contending humani-

The more I give, the louder they cry
for MORE.
The FAT as well as the LEAN have
deserted their own boards to come to
feed their fill out of my generous hold.
There seems to be no end to their
capacity.
They hunger is never appeased.
They give no thought that there might
come . day when the foed stream that
feeds them may dwindle to q nsre
