Edwin w. Pauley admlILed
profits of $932,703.10 in the
commodity markets in the latest
exchange of statements between
himself and Harold E.. Stassen
while Washington waited today
to see whether a Senate commit
tee would go into what appeared
to be the cotton futures trading
of a Senator's wife.
Mr.. Pauley last night issued his
latest blast at Mr.. Stassen, who first
named him as an administration
"insider" who had been speculating
in commodities. He denied that Mr..
Stassen, Republican presidential
candidate, had revealed anything
new, and insisted that he had given
the figure to the Senate Appropria-
tions Subcommittee several days
ago.
Mr.. Pauley, special assistant to
the Secretary of the Army and
former Democratic national treas
urer, said he intended to prove
where you falsified again and again
and to expose you'' when Mr..
Stassen returns to the witness stand
here, probably on January %.
Ferguson Noncommittal.
Chairman Ferguson of the Senate
committee which has been inquiring
into the speculation Of insiders" +"
was noncommittal as to whether his
group would look into the activities
of Senator Elmer Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma, former chairman
and now ranking minority member
of the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee.
An official of the Senate commit
tee said today that Senator Thomas
has offered Senate investigators the
books on his commodity trading and
that the records probably will be
obtained later in the day. The Off
cial said Senator Ferguson had ac-
cepted Senator Thomas offer.
The Oklahoma Senator was first
mentioned when a new list of cotton
traders made public by Secretary OF
Agriculture Anderson included the
name of Edith Thomas, Washing
ton, D. c." Although he did not
identify the name with his wife
whose first name is Edith, Senator
Thomas issued a statement saying
in part, that he himself had fol
some time invested lin income pro-
ducing properties, including bonds
preferred and common stocks ano
commodities"
Edith Thomas" was listed as
holding 300 bales of cotton or
July 81, 1916, in long position, the
position taken by a person who
hopes to make a profit from price
rise. There is, of course, nothing
illegal about speculating in the
commodity market.

Kate Smith Scheduled
Daily On KMON

IN CELEBRATION of Kate
Smiths first anniversary as a Mu-
tual network star KMON is now
scheduling her program, "Kate
Smith Speaks" each Monday
through Friday morning at 1915.
Kate Smith needs no introduction
to any radio listener. She has been
a top flight star since 1881, when
she began her first regular program
of Is minutes of song.
During World war 2 Kate Smith
travelled to army, navy and marine
camps and training stations through
out the country and in Canada, TAX
ing with her, at her own expense, a
company of entertainers and mu-
~sicians, and staging memorable
shows for the men and women in
service Almost $4,000 miles she
travelled, and literally hundreds of
thousands of men and women will
eve forget the cheer she brought
them.
But that wasn't her whole con-
tribution to the war effort. She did
much more. Her most dramatic per-
formances were as bond salesman.
In a series of round-the-clock radio
appeals, she sold a total of $500, 000,-
600 worth of war bonds-more than
any other person in America.
With the wal over, Kate Smith
continues her service to the nation

its men and women-and her listen
ers. Even today, she makes frequent
trips to entertain veterans who still
linger in army and navy hospitals.
And through her Mutual network
program, "Kate Smith Speaks" she
carries on her fight for a better
America, for it is through this pro-
gram that Kate Smith lends her in
fluence to important national causes
the fight against juvenile delin-
quency, adequate pay for teachers,
the unending war on racketeering
and intolerance.

| Koran Willing 10 Hear
Views on Compromise
date for Tuition Law

Chairman Koran OF the House
Appropriations subcommittee in
charge of the District supply bill
said yesterday he was willing to
listen to argument on q compromise
on the effective data of legislation
requiring nonresident pupils to pay
tuition in District schools.
He emphasized, however, that he
was "unalterably opposed" to pro-
posals to let such students attend
District schools tuition free.
His stand was in reference to two
bills introduced by Representative
Beall, Republican, and Representa-
tive Sasscer, Democrat, of Maryland,
to repeal the provision in the 1948
District appropriation act requiring
tuition from nonresident students.
Representative Bates, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, who heads the
fiscal subcommittee of the House
District Committee, also criticized
the Beall- Sasscer bills yesterday.
Meanwhile, about 200 students,
who live in nearby Virginia and
Maryland, but attend District public
schools, face dismissal tomorrow for
nonpayment of tuition fees.
The parents have been notified
of this by School Supt. Hobart M
Corning. Only exception is in the
case of nearby students who were
attending District schools tuition
free under previous acts before the
signing OF. the new act last July Is.

Rubber Workers Plan
New Wage Demand

AKRON, Ohio, Jan. 3l.-The Ma
tons 100000 organized rubber work
ers are ready to ask for higher
wages.
The CLIO United Rubber Workers,
nearly half of whose membership
is concentrated in this manufacture
ing center, emphasize the cost OF
living as the basis of their new
demands.
The move fits into the general
picture of the CLOS announced in
tention of campaigning for a third
round" of substantial postwar
wage increases in 1913.
How much the rubber union will
ask will be determined the latter
part of next week. On Friday the
unions Executive Board will meet
in Cleveland to prepare its recon-
mendations, and the following two
DAYS the Policy Committee Will
formulate the specific demands.
Actual negotiations may not get
under way until April.
The belief here is that the figure
will be close to that decided upon
by The CLIO United Auto Workers, 30
cents an hour. In the case of the
auto union, five of the 30 cents
would be for disqualification and
health insurance.
CIO packinghouse workers are
asking 90 cents an hour, CLIO cleo

workers will meet February IL to
