SUGAR TARIFF DISPUTE BEFORE SENATE GROUP Sliding Scale Is Proposed and Criticised by Members of Committee. BY PAUL R. MALLON Cal ted Pres* Staff Correspondent e WASHINGTON, July 27.—The . iiding sugar scale as a substitute lor the proposed 3 rents a pound world rate in the house tariff bill became the renter of controversy today as Republican members of the ; enate finance committee continued ; rewriting the house measure. As. Chairman Reed Smoot v.as finishing his scale proposing to guarantee a 6 cents a pound sugar price in New York and Rudolph Spreckles, the California sugar magnate, was explaining hi' tu o sliding scales up j and dovn the corridors of the sen- j ate office building, a. critical attack j against both methods was made by i Senator William H. King <Dem., I Utah' who, like Smoot, comes from a sugar be p t state.

The trouble -rith a slidme scale is that it will not slide but will fix the price of 'ugar for the American consumers," King said. "It now begins to look as though the Cubans were preparing to get together with other world interests outside the United States to curtail the American sugar market, just as was attempted recently in the casr of rubber.” Smoot said he would announce details of his scale Monday, and denied he had submitted it to President Hoover in a recent White House conference. "I have been bombarded all over the United States for preparing a sliding scale,” Smoot said. The attacks come from those who favor the fixed house rate. lam deter- i mined, therefore, there shall be pub- j lie hearings on the scale, and after : I submit, it to the Republican mem- i bers of my committee Monday, I; intend to ask for hearings to be- | gin the latter part of next week.” Spreckles has called on Senator j William E. Borah of Idaho and j other senators to seek support for : his two sliding scales which differ in theory from the Smoot scale be- 1 cause they propose a guarantee to American refineries instead of going at the matter directly.

Eugen Hirsch, was sentenced to one month in prison and a fine of 3.000 marks. Last August Hugo Stinnes Jr. was arrested charged with plotting to defraud the government and was released under bail of 1,000.000 marks ($250,000). The trial, which began on May 28. followed an indictment that the son of the one-time money king of Germany obtained huge lots of government bonds through the connivance of “straw men” in France, Holland and Rumania. Stinnes was alleged to have registered the obtained bonds falsely with the ministry of finance as having been under unchanged ownership since before the German revolution.

35,000 WATCH BREMEN SAIL ON TRIP HOME Captain of German Liner Will Try to Set New Record on Return Trip. B" United Pre sg BROOKLYN. N. Y.. July 27.—The North German uoyd liner Bremen, holder of the record for a westward Atlantic voyage, left for home early today, after a crowd estimated by police at 35,000 persons had gathered to witness the sailing. Captain Leopold Ziegenbein, the skipper, told reporters just before sailing time that he probably would “take it easy” on the eastward passage and land at Cherbourg about 7 o’clock Wednesday morning, adding that there was no use getting to that port sooner, since French officials would not “handle a ship any earlier in the morning.” If the ship lands according to Captain Ziegenbein’s announced plans, it will lower the eastern voyage record by about eight hours. Both the western and eastern passj age records were held by the Cunarder Mauretania until the Bremen landed here Monday morning four days seventeen hours and thirty-four minutes after leaving Cherbourg. The average speed for this crossing was in excess of twenty-eight
