LETTERS FLOOD HOOVER SCORING TARIFFSRATES Popular Protest by Mail Exceeds Any on Past Legislation. Bv Rcrippn-U oirnrd ctpap'r Allianre WASHINGTON, May 28.—President Hoover has received more mail on the pending tariff measure than on any other issue confronting his fliteen-month-old administration, it was learned today, and most of it urges him to veto it if it passes congress in its present form. It is expected congress will pass the bill and send it to the White House within ten days, barring unforseen developments. All sections and all elements are said to be represented in the protests which have filled the White House mail sacks. They have come from individuals and organizations representing the consumer, as well as from manufacturers and business men. Numerous groups ordinarily in favor of protection have informed him they think it has been overdone in the Hawley-Smoot bill. Press in Opposition Editorial clippings carefully posted in the White House scrapbooks reveal most of the press to be in opposition to the measure. Among the newspapers advising the President to disapprove the measure are numerous G. O. P. journals which have supported previous high-tariff revisions. Hoover has instructed the White House staff to segregate the various communications, and he plans to have a digest made of the various viewpoints presented. When the bill reaches him, he intends to give thorough study to the criticisms, especially those from spokesmen of important interests who maintain that general business and prosperity will suffer from the impassable tariff barrier which the bill sets up. Popular Interest Great Besides indicating an apparently adverse reaction, the volume of protests show a greater popular interest in the tariff than has been exhibited in the past. It is undersood the President will take cognizance of his fact, which may make the tariff the chief issue in next fall’s congressional elections, in a statement accompanying his signature of the measure, should he decide to approve it. Hoover is said to be planning a statement assuring the public that, though the bill may be imperfect, he will correct mistakes by using the flexible provision permitting the tariff commission and himself to revise the rates upward or downward by a maximum of 50 per cent.

DRY LEAGUE TO FIGHT WETS IN BIG CAMPAIGN Tons of Literature, Sound Movies, Radio Will Be Used in Drive. Bv Vnited Pre** DES MOINES, lowa, May 28. The Anti-Saloon League has mapped out a modern and vigorous campaign in reply to efforts by wets to disrupt its ranks, F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent, said here today. Tons of literature, sound movies, radio addresses and thousands of meetings will be the means used in the drive, the dry leader said. We declared recent activities of wet organizations are of little immediate concern, but that they have necessitated an educational campaign that will inform the people for all time of the evils of alcohol. “The campaign will be a businesslike one,” Mcßride said. “We intend to bombard the country with literature from our printing plant at Westerville, 0., which has an output of several tons of material daily. “We will use the sound movies which will bring the drama of prohibition to the people, talks on radios and thousands of meetings. The campaign will be conducted through education, agitation and legislation. “It’s going to take the wets a long time to prove there is a revolt against prohibition,” Mcßride said. “The people are for prohibition.’’ TEXAS CO-ED MISSING No Trace of Girl, 16, in Last Ten Days, Officials Say.

Oh, Oh! Love! Bu Vnited Pre** BROOKLYN, May 28.—The radio in the store window sent the romantic strains of a melody to the ears of shoppers on Third avenue, but there was no music in the air for Fred Doboriewitz, 24. His girl had rejected him, and he leaned against a strange-looking steel tank, to meditate. Fifteen minutes later three police squads arrived and worked on Fred for an hour before he recovered. His eyelids fluttered and he looked around. “Too much gas, Buddy,” a policeman told him. “No—love,” the victim sighed. The tank, contained ammonia for a cleaning establisliment.
