CABINET FIGHT FACED; WEST IS MM MAN Senate Inquiry Forecast on New Secretary of Interior. LONG WITH UTILITY KING Coolidge Appointee Could Use Power to Block Big Public Benefits. BY LEO R. SACK Times Special Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 30.—Because he has been identified ctosely with Samuel Insull, multimillionaire public utilities operator, since 1897, the Senate likely will make a thorough investigation of the qualifications of Roy O. West of Chicago for secretary of the interior. West, former vice chairma : of the finance commitee of the Republican national committee, was named ten days ago by President Coolidge to succeed Dr. Hubert Work, who 'resigned to become chairman of the Republican national committee. West now is serving under a recess appointment, subject to confirmation or rejection by the Senate. Quizzed by Jim Reed West, who was active in the Illinois Republican primary of 1926, at which Frank L. Smith was nominated for the Senate, was a witness before Senator James A. Reed’s committee in Chicago on June 27, 1926. Insull had testified that he contributed $125,000 to the campaign of Smith, who later was refused admission to the Senate, and $15,000 to the campaign fund of George Brennan, the Democratic nominee. During his testimony, West said under oath: “In 1897 I became one of the attorneys of the Commonwealth Edison Company, trying law suits. The company was very small. It was the Chicago Edison Company then. I began investing with Mr. Insull in what was then the Edison Company and then in his Middle West Utilities, which he later organized, and also in his Public Service Company, which he later organized. Holds Heavy Investments . “I have had investments in those companies since, as has pay wife and has my mother. We have increased our holdings along in increases in stock, and we now have very substantial holdings in those three companies. “I always have conferred with Mr Insull as to investments, particularly concerning his own compa nies and as to politics, during these twenty-five or more years—twentyeight years—twenty-ni le years.” West then testified that he and Insull discussed the senatorial campaign but that he did not go along with Insull in support of Smith West was identified with the Dtneen faction. West told Senator Reed: "I believe in Mr. Insull very thoroughly—in his business judgment.” “As an investor you think he is a success?” Reed inquired. “I do.” “I do, too. I say that respectfully," Reed continued. Hazy On Company “He is supposed to be the greatest operator of utility properties in the world,” West said. Reed asked West about the Middle West Securities Company, in which he is an investor. West was somewhat hazy as to the specific activities of this concern. “I have such confidence in Mr. Insull as an operator of utilities properties that I have made very substantial investments with him, without inquiring into very many details,” he said. Unless West’s nomination is rejected, he may be able to block government construction of Boulder Dam. This is one of the ends toward which private power interests are bending their energies. May Block Passage West will direct activities of a newly named commission to investigate engineering aspects of this project. If he should submit adverse recommendations to Congress, the bill, now within a few steps of passage, might have a harder road. As Secretary of Interior, West has control of all Indian power sites, and granting of all rights of way to power companies across public land. He also becomes, by virtue of his office, a member of the Federal Power commission, which grants licenses and permits to private companies for use of all power sites. TAKES POISON: ASKS AID Woman Seeks Neighbor's House For Help. Mrs. Lucy Watson, 35, of 2860 Manlove Ave., went to the home of A Mrs. Flora Radmore, 2906 Manlove Ave:, this morning and said that she had taken poison because of marital difficulties.

Ford, 65 Today and Hard at Work, Sees Best of Life Ahead

Cal Recalls — Bn United Press CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Wis., July 30.—Years in public office have not dulled President Cooldige’s recollections of Ijis boyhood farm days in Plymouth, Vt. When the Presidential special train reached Cumberland, Wis., Sunday on the return trip from Cannon Falls, Minn., a 70-year-old farmer, A. H. Kellerman, climbed on the rear platform and handed a parcel to Richard Jervis, White House secret service chief. “Give these to the President,” Kellerman said. “I think he’ll know what they are.” The President smiled broadly when he saw the contents of the package. “Os course,’ he say, “they are ox shoes, I’ve nailed them on mysell as a boy.”

HOOVER UP AT DAWNTO FISH Candidate to Spend Three Days in Wilds. B>i United Press BIG CREEK LODGE, NEAR MEDFORD, Ore., July 30.—Up with the sun, Herbert Hoover went fishing today. The Republican presidential nominee was rested after his two days’ automobile journey when he arose from slumber on the lodge sleeping porch and walked down to the narrow river, elated at the fact that he was ten miles from the nearest telephone. He planned today to move on to an even more remote spot owned by his friend, Milton Esberg, San Francisco banker. The Esberg fishing camp adjoins the famous Brown camp on the Klamath River. If the trout are running, he may remain there until Wednesday night before catching a train to San Francisco. From his home at Palo Alto to the lodge here, Hoover covered about 600 miles by automobile, most of it through mountain roads. Some of them were well graded, but others were one-way roads, and when* the candidate encountered a car coming in the opposite direction one ol the two had to back up until they could find a place to pass. MAIL RATESJjO UP Higher Compensation for Railroads Provided. BP United Pres* WASHINGTON, July 30.—Increased compensation of about $15,000,000 a year for trunk line railroads transporting mail for the Fostofflce Department was ordered today in a majority decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission. In addition, a retroactive provision making the increases effective from July, 1925, gave the carriers about $45,000,000 in back pay. The new rates average about 15 per cent annually over the old rates, with a minimum of $72 per mile for any trunk road regularly carrying mail.

NEW BIDS ARE ORDERED ON MORRIS ST. BRIDGE

New bids on the Morris St. bridge over White River were ordered today by the board of works on advice of Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman. Holtzman held the board’s contract with the National Concrete Company bridge for $268,000 for lengthening the span is illegal. The contract was signed by the Duvall board of works in 1927. Oren S. Hack, works board president, said new bids on original specifications will be sought. The present contract was on an alternate plan, which provided for lengthening the span in conformity wtih the new White River channel, but did not propose to widen the bridge

NOW COLORED MOVIES FOR THE HOME; EASTMAN GIVES SCIENTISTS DEMONSTRATION

O&e of the most important eventk in the history of photography, the demonstration of color motion pictures for the amateur, took place this morning Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, director of Science Service, one of the few invited guests at the demonstration, herewith writes a personal signed story exclusively for The Times. BY DR. EDWIN E. SLOSSON Rochester, n. y., July 30. Natural color movies that every one can make and project had their scientific debut this morning at the home of George Eastman, photographic pioneer and head of the Eastman Kodak Company. Through the utilization of thousands of miniature lenses, invisible to the naked eye, but im-

‘Expects to Do More' in Next Five Years Than in Last Twenty.’ B.n United Press DETROIT, Mich., July 30.—Wh.le celebrating his sixty-fifth birthday engaged in his favorite sport of working—to increase production of his new car—Henry Ford paused today to pass out a few words of wisdom: “I haven’t found any age limit. You take all the experience and judgment of men over 50 out of the world and there wouldn’t be enough left to run it. Youngsters have their place and are necessary, but the experience and judgment of men over 50 are what give purpose and meaning to younger men’s efforts. “The world is as good a proposition as ever for those who work or for those who will analyze every detail of their work. There is no substitute for work except more intelligent work.” “Losing money? “Who said we had lost anything? They don’t understand this business. We can’t lose what doesn't belong to us. The profits we made on fifteen million model T cars wasn’t our money. The public paid to us. Organized as this company is, we couldn’t do anything with it except use it to make a better automobile. We have always plowed back our surplus into our service And we have always had plenty left “The real profits of this or any other successful company are increased experience, better methods, more skilled workmen, more highly developed engineernig brains. Those are the best profits we gained from the fifteen million model T Fords. “So far as the future is concerned I expect to do more in the next five years than in the last twenty.” “The man who is boss” to 200,000 men, is in excellent health, although he weighs only 141 pounds. On a weighing machine you will find that for his age and height Ford should weigh 155 pounds. “I’d rather weight about 150," Ford told the United Press in an interview, "but for several years I have been ten pounds under that.” But Ford is well preserved. Abstinence from coffee, smoking and similar habits, Ford believes, keeps his eyes in trim and his general health good. He eats about anything he wants, but said he had found the Ideal diet was fruits, exclusively, for breakfast; starch foods (potatoes, bread, etc.) for lunch, and proteins (little meat or eggs) for dinner. Twenty years ago Ford probably knew less about what proteins were than the average high school student today. He was busy making automobiles. But since then he has spent a good-sized fortune having experts experimen* with foods—as well as other things in which he is interested. Supports Hoover Ford is not especially interested in politics and it is not likely he will take an active part in the presidential campaign. He has not changed his attitude, however, of supporting Herbert Hoover. The manufacturer believes the country’s progress is about normal and sees bettor prosperity ahead.

By slipping a special color filter into the ordinary amateur movie camera and using the special film, the amateur can take the new color motion pictures. In development the film is changed to a positive, but, due to the principle of the process, the film is just black and white, with no color or dyes appearing in the film itself. The process is a result of several years’ development by the Eastman kodak research labora-

DOLLAR STEAK FORECAST FOR CITY BUYERS Prices Soar Fast: Outlook Is for Further Boost Instead of Drop. NEAR WAR-TIME SCALE Butchers See No Chance for Slump Unless Receipts Go Up Rapidly. Porterhouse steak at the wartime price of $1 a pound loomed as a possibility in Indianapolis today. Right now the good cuts are selling from 65 to 80 cents, with all likelihood that they will soar some more before a drop. The only hope expressed by retailers for any break, in the market was not looked for within the next thirty days and then it depends entirely upon the influx of the Western grass-fed cattle. These are not the big beefy type from which the choicest cuts are taken. Chain stores, packers and retailers were unaimous in declaring today that $1 a pound for porterhouse is not an impossibility. Sees Price Near Dollar One retail butcher operating three north side stores started today that as long as farmers are getting 25 to 26 certs a pound for good beef on the hoof, there was no chance fqr •a drop in retail prices and very likely they will go up; “if not to $1 a pound, very near it.” One chain store manager predicted some possibility of a break in the market, but “not within the next thirty days.” He pointed out that cattle sold last week in Chicago for 27 cents, and that would mean $1 pound porterhouse. His firm is selling good cuts at 60 cents, but there is likely that this price will increase soon, he said. Another chain store operator quoted present prices of 55 to 65 cents and predicted possible increase, “but not as high as $1 a pound.” Calves Being Killed Killing calves has brought a great dearth in beeves, another chain store operator said, and recommer*. ed a law to regulate their wholesale destruction. Herne for a market drop is almost out of the question with present scarcity, he ieclared, and he was inclined to believe in the $1 a pound porterhouse prediction. One of the largest retail dealers, with a wholesale and packing house backing, declared that fine cuts of porterhouse are now selling at 80 cents and that $1 a pound seems inevitable and will be here soon.
