The ceii'ral committee named to carry out this program Is headed by llenrv M. Robinson of I. os Angeles, a white ha, red hanker and lawyer who has been one of President Hoover's railroads; closest friends and unolllclal advisers and who has previously served the public In various capacities, notably as a member of the commission that formulated the Hawes plan. It Is said In Washington that Mr. Itoblnson may sooi he known as the Colonel House of the Hoover administration. Of the sub committees named at the conference, the first to get Into action was that on spreading employment. Its chairman, Walter C. Tengle, president of the Standard OH Company of New Jersey, said the committee Intends to educate Industry to do the most convenient thing to he worked out from tiie various methods already devised nnd operated by nearly 400 companies throughout the country, which repos ed to the unemployment relief organization In the course of its study of the program nnd Its application to Industry. Dispatches received In Washington from all parts of the country indicated that the conference already was having an effect on the revival of Industry, nnd the news from banks wus especially cheerful. W. MCI, I. OX, Knglund and former secretary of the treasury, had a long talk with the President, and on emerging from the White House said he believed the current advance in stork prices ANDREW A, was justified and would lie maintained. Mr. Mellon's reputation as a financial wizard hns been considerably lessened, but there nre still many who think his Judgment Is sound. C. NORM AN, governor of Knglund, came over to this country recently as "Prof. Clarence Skinner, ostensibly to spend a vacation In Maine. Ilut It was not long before he was In Now York consulting with some of our loading hankers, and then It wus officially admitted In Washington that he would 'see or communicate with Ogdon L. Mills, secretary of the treasury. In the minds of many this made it certain that the main object of Mr. Norman's visit was to discuss war debts. It also probably had to do with Britain's return to the gold standard in lilfifi, this being dependent on the settlement of the war debts and reparations and the lowering of world tariff harriers. MONTAGU Hank and Budget PESIDENT J. HOOVER Clawson Roup have begun preparation of the budget for the 1034 fiscal year which starts July 1 next. Cabinet members and all heads of independent establishments hnve submitted their estimates and Mr, Roup has begun on them. the budget hearings Whether will be larger or smaller than the one submitted to congress for the current flsen year is not yet known, but probably It will be larger. The naval general hoard completed Its new building program and laid it before Secretary Charles F. Adams. Whether or not he would submit it to the President with u recommendation that It be offered to congress In December was not to be derided until Secretary Adams had consulted with A number of ranking admirals. It was understood the general board Install program Included a rnent of the Vinson S Hl.tx Ot K) ten year program. It reeommanded starting work on the seventeenth gun cruiser permitted under the London treaty nnd already authorized. Other parts of the program presumably call for the laying down of two cruisers, one airplane carrier, and additional airplanes and submarines. one-yea- r H tMMREME COURT JUSTICE EI.I.IS J.

These safe guards, tiie court said, were: That the mayor must have I, ecu given a fair trial" by the governor. A fair trial. Staley explained, gave tiie mayor the right to cross examine tiie wit nesses on whose testimony the charges against him were based. That tiie removal was "only for cause, and for a cause relating to some act or omission which amounts to olli dal misconduct or violation of puli lie trust, or one that Involves moral turpitude."

The "trial" of tiie mayor was re vv sumed by Governor Roosevelt on Erl day, having been postponed until then becuuse of the death of a brother of Mr. Walker.

Roosevelt as the occasion for his first campaign speech on tiie prohibition question, and what he said to Ins 150,000 listeners was highly pleasing to the wet Democrats. Some of the Republican leaders, on the other hand, called it old stuff nnd ludicrous; ami It did not have the approval of the Irolilbitlonists. After speaking a good word for genuine temperance, .Mr. Roosevelt dealt with the tax burden that prohibition has brought, declaring the only business in the country that wus not helping to support the government was In a real sense being supported by this government." Describing the Republican platform ns long, Indirect, insincere nnd false, tiie governor compared its stand on prohibition repeal with "the concise sincerity of our own platform.

While most of the mills were forced to close, some continued with depleted staffs and others, which made private arrangements with the workers, operated at full capacity. The leaders of the weavers union esti- mate that the walkout was two-third- s effective on the first day and believe it will spread to all the mills. A direct appeal to King George to Intervene through the government in the dispute was sent to Balmoral by Joe Compton, a former I.nborite member of parliament, who wields great Influence In the mill district. It appears likely that the 20,000 conductors nnd drivers of London busses would strike soon because of wage redactions and changes in working conditions ordered by the London General Omnibus company.

Tiie feat, not hitherto accomplished, required a climb of more titan 10,000 feet of difficult, trailless Jungle and rocky slopes. Rttwenzori is unusual In Its very situation. It lies almost immediately under the equator, surrounded by rank, steaming tropical forests nnd plains covered with tall elephant grass; yet it pushes its peaks up to eternal snows. Nowhere else are there comparable heights under the equator, rising from the heart of a continent. The Andes of Ecuador, relatively close to tiie const, and the mountains of the Island of New Guinea are the closest competitors. Weather conditions do their part In of contributing to the strangeness this African mountain mass, and in throwing an almost litoral veil of The peaks are mystery around it. hidden to observers from the plains and forests by clouds and fog except at rare Intervals.

Mountains of tiie Moon, Is believed to have arisen from a mistaken translation from Arabic; but It has fitted well into the atmosphere of mystery that surrounded Rtiwrn-zor- i for centuries; and it has a figurative Justification because of the weird appearance of tiie mountain slopes. The relatively few white men who have made tiie arduous climb have ail noted the impression that they had blundered Into some alien world. The combination of excessive moisture, altitude and equatorial sun has produced a un!qu.e vegetation that in many ways is utterly fantastic. Vegetation Is Extraordinary. After emerging from the dense tropical forests of the lower slop s, a climber feels like a Lilliputian visiting the meadows of Brohdingnag. He walks among parsley plants nine feet high, "bird seed throe times his height, nnd heather plants, relatives of the low Scottish shrub, that have expanded into great trees 70 nnd SO feet tall.
