Show News Review of Current Events the World Over President's Business Conference Already Showing Results Re-sults R. F. C. Considers Loans Court Establishes Roosevelt's Right to Remove Mayor Walker. By EDWARD W. PICKARD IF PROSI'ERITI can be restored by the united efforts of Individ oals the buaineu and Industrial conference con-ference In Washington should bave marked results. The 800 men who participated par-ticipated pledged themselves to work along these lines: To - spread em ployment by shortening short-ening the hours of each worker ; to stimulate capital expenditures by Industry; In-dustry; to expand employment and repair re-pair and replacement replace-ment work on the railroads; to stimu Hsnry M. Robinson late home improvement and repair; to assist boms owners in carrying tbeir mortgage burdens; to make credit affirmatively useful by making mak-ing It available to those entitled to it The central committee named to carry out this program is beaded by Henry M. Robinson of Los Angeles, An-geles, s white-haired banker and lawyer who bas been one of President Pres-ident Hoover's' closest friends and unofficial advisers and who bas previously pre-viously served the public In various capacities, notably as a member of the commission that formulated the Dawes plan. It is said In Washington Wash-ington that Mr. Robinson may soon be known as the Colonel (louse of the Hoover administration. Of the sub committees named at the conference, the first to get Into action was that on spreading employment em-ployment Its chairman, Walter C. Teagle, president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, said the committee Intends to educate In dustry to do the most convenient thing to be worked out from the various methods already devised and operated by nearly 400 companies com-panies throughout the country, which reported to the unemployment unemploy-ment relief organization In the course of Its study of the program and Its application to Industry. Dispatches received in Washington Washing-ton from all parts of the country indicate in-dicate that the conference already was having an effect on the revival of Industry, and the news from banks was especially cheerful MONTAQD C. NORMAN, governor gov-ernor of the Bank of England, cams over to this country recently as "Prof. Clarence Skinner," ostensibly osten-sibly to spend a vacation In Maine. But It was not long before he was In New York consulting with some of our leading bankers, and then It was officially admitted in Washington Washing-ton that he would "see or commu-alcate commu-alcate with" Ogden L, Mills, secre tary of the treasury. In the minds of many this made it certain that the main object of Mr. Norman visit was to discuss war debts, ft also probably bad to do with Britain's Brit-ain's return to the gold standard In 1033, this being dependent on the settlement of the war debts and rep-aratlons rep-aratlons and the lowering of world tariff barriers. PRESIDENT HOOVER snd Budget Bud-get Director J. Clawson Roup bave begun preparation of the budget bud-get for the 1034 fiscal year which starts July 1 next Cabinet members and all heads of independent in-dependent estsb llshments have submitted sub-mitted their est! mates and Mr. Roup has begun bearings on them. Whether the budget will be larger or smaller than the one submitted sub-mitted to congress for the current fiscal fis-cal year Is not yet . ... V "I Secy Adams known, but probably It will be large. The naval general board completed com-pleted its new building program and laid It before Secretary Charles F. Adams Whether or not be would submit It to the President with a recommendation that It be offered to congress In December was not to be decided until Secretary Adams bad consulted with a number of nruklng admirals. It la understood the general board program Included a oneyenr installment of the Vinson $8iU,00U, 000 ten-year program. It recommended recom-mended starting work on the seven teen 8-Inch gun cruisers permitted under the London treaty and al ready authorized. Oilier parts of s?:) the program presumably call for (he laying down of two cruisers, one air plane carrier, and additional air planes and submarines. SUPREME Court Justice Kills J Staley at Albany ruled In the Walker case that Governor Itoose relt had the authority to sit In Judg-ment Judg-ment on the mayor, and that the conrts could not interfere In the executive ex-ecutive acta of the governor, flow ever, be also ruled that court action might be taken after the governor has given his decision on the Walker Walk-er ouster charges, provided the mayor's three constitutional defenses de-fenses bad been violated. These safeguards, the court said, were: That the mayor must have been given s "fair trial" by the governor. A fair trial, Staley explained, gave the mayor the right to cross-examine the witnesses on whose testimony testi-mony the charges against him were based. That the removal was "only for cause, and for a cause relating to some act or omission which amounts to official misconduct or violation of public trust, or one that involves moral turpitude." That the "act or neglect" Justifying Justify-ing the removal must have occurred "during the term which the officer Is serving. The "trial" of the- mayor was re sumed by Governor Roosevelt on Friday, having been postponed until un-til then because of the death of a brother of Mr. Walker. UNLESS late returns from the Democratic run-off primary upset up-set present figures, "Ma" Fergason will be governor of Texas again. At this writing she has a rather slight lead over Gov. Ross 8. Sterling. Ster-ling. The vote had veered and swayed from the Incumbent to Mrs. Ferguson In such dramatic manner that A. F. Hennlng. head of the Texas election bureau, declined to forecast either the possible out come of the race or the probable total to-tal vote. The returns were still to be canvassed can-vassed by the county committees and then by the state committees. ONE after another the state conventions con-ventions of the American Legion Le-gion sre disregarding the ndvlce of the leaders of the Lech hi and adopting adopt-ing resolutions call ing for Immediate payment of the veterans vet-erans bonus In full. The meeting of the New York Legion, In Brooklyn, was enlivened by an almost al-most violent demonstration dem-onstration against F. Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war for aviation and now an aspirant aspi-rant for the Republican Repub-lican nomination F. Trubee Davison for governor of New York. Mr. Davison, defending the fed eral administration for the use of force In expelling the bonus srmy from Washington, charged that many members of the B. E. F. in the National Capital were "tramps and hoodlums" possessing fake mil I tary discharges that were produced by a "Communist-owned diploma mllL" His speech was frequently thlerupted by loud Jeers snd boos and cries of "put him out." snd finally It was necessary to call the police reserves to restore order. GOVERNOR'S day st Seagirt. New Jersey, was taken by Franklin D. Roosevelt as the occasion oc-casion for his first campaign speech on the prohibition question, and what he said to his IWt.OOO listen ers was highly pleasing to the wet Democrats. Some of the Republic an leaders, on the other hand, called It old stuff and ludicrous; snd It did not have the approval of the Prohibitionists. 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 was not helping to support the government was In s real sense be Ing supported by this government." Describing the Republican pint form as "long. Indirect Insincere and false." the governor compared Its stand on prohibition repeal with "the concise sincerity of eur own platform." "The Democratic party squarely met the Issue." said the governor, "while the Republican admlnlstra tlon attempted to evade and confuse con-fuse the Issue." ""THREE major condition en which It will make loons for self liquidating projects were announced by the Reconstruction Finance ccr poratlnn board. The applicant must prove that his project is self liquidating ; be must prove tliut It Is adequately secured hy good col lateral; and he must he ahle to give l tie hoard complete Information on all phases of the project.

Calif., to Cleveland Cleve-land In 8 hours and 10 minutes elapsed time. He then continued to New York, establishing a new transcontinental trans-continental record of 10 hours 1 minutes. IOWA farmers engaged In the "strike for higher prices" were being Investigated by a grand jury In Council Bluffs which was In structed to inquire Into wilful obstruction obstruc-tion of property and intimidation of truck drivers. The "holiday" move ment, started by C P. Savery and other leaders, meanwhile was losing Its peaceful aspect and there were conflicts between the pickets and sheriffs' pos C. P. 8avsry se es at various points. Generally the officers had the best of It, but not always. Near Cushlng. Iowa, a force of fifty deputies depu-ties that undertook to escort five truckloads of hogs was attacked by hundreds of farmers armed with lead pipes and sticks, and eleven deputies were Injured. The aroused sheriff declared the picket lines would be broken. It Is noteworthy that many of the members of the late bonus army have entered the fray on the side of the striking farmers. ENGLAND was confronted with one of the worst strikes of recent re-cent years when more than 126,000 cotton weavers In Lancashire quit work because of a wage cut and working conditions. While most of the mills were forced to close, some continued with depleted staffs and others, which made private arrangements arrange-ments with the workers, operated at full capacity. The leaders of the weavers' union estimate that the walkout was two-thirds 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 govern-ment In tbe dispute was sent to Balmoral Bal-moral by Joe Compton, a former La-borite La-borite member of parliament, who wields great Influence In the mill district It appears likely that the 20,000 conductors and drivers of London busses would strike soon because of wage reductions and changes In working conditions ordered by the London General Omnibus company. GERMANY was tremendously excited ex-cited when Its parliament met for Adolf Hitler bad decided bis 230 Nasi members should not support the Von Papen government At the last moment the chancellor had luncheon with Hitler and in their discussion the breach between them was widened. Von Papen then went quickly to Neudeck. where President Von Ulndenburg was rest Ing on his estate and received from him authority to dissolve (lie relch stag at his discretion, giving him almost dictatorial powers. The aged president told the chancellor he was at liberty to do this If the relchstag tried to vote no confidence In Von Papen's government and its $"i!0.K)0.(O0 reconstruction program, which seemed a certainty. This would give ths chancellor's regime at least three months further life The entire German press fea tures the Neudeck confab as of his torlc moment. There Is no doubt "v.V. that on Papen enjoys the presl j wns ntmlng fwt d ,n fhe dent s full confidence and the chan , t,, whlch h,d been fnM cellor will not yield even to a Nazi i rt wI(h ,nd the d I entrlst combination unless thejtotaI tllonsailda of dollars.
