HOOVER TO ACT IN CRISIS OVER RUSSIAN IMPORTS BAN

PRESIDENT MAY ASK FOR TIME TO STOP LOSS Business Is Frightened by Treasury Embargo on Pulpwood. A, F. OF L. VIEW GIVEN Green Not for General Bar to Reds’ Goods; Mellon Probe Asked. F-j/ Timm Special WASHINGTON. July 30.—President Hoover gave his personal attention today to the foreign trade problem by the ban on Russian pulpwood, with American business interests pressing for a modification of this embargo and expressing alarm that it may be a forerunner of a general embargo that will threaten the valuable $100,000,000 yearly trade with Russia. While there is no indication that the embargo laid by the treasury department against pulpwood would be lifted, there is a possibility that a period of grace might be given to prevent heavy losses to shipowners and importers in cargoes now en route to the United States. Such an extension was urged by business representatives appearing here before Assistant Treasury Secretary Lowman. Shipping lines, longshoremen, paper companies and the Russian Amtorg Corporation were represented at the hearing to protest against the pulpwood embargo. Sudden and Drastic They regarded the embargo laid by Lowmar. as rather sudden and drastic. The administration has moved to mollify the resentment of the Russian government by emphasizing that Russia was not singled out, that the ban had nothing to do with Russia's communistic form of government. tut that the embargo would be laid against any nation which violated the tariff act by seeking to import goods produced by convict or forced labor. This assurance was interpreted as indicating that the administration will go slow henceforth and inspired the belief the embargo might be modified as a temporary relief to protesting American business interests. Lowman has promised an early decision on the pleas by Russian interests who want the embargo raised and by American interests which want it lifted, at least temporarily. Green Repudiates Woll President William Green of the American Federation of Labor declared today his organization desires entorcement against all nations of tariff law provisions, barring importation of goods produced by convict labor, and has not advocated an embargo against all Russian imports. Green declared that the statement of Matthew Woll, vice-presi-dent of the federation, urging a general embargo against Russian products, does not represent the viewpoint of the organization. Green's statement of policy was the first official word from him. Green explained that no one has authority to speak for the federation except himself or the executive council which, he said, has expressed itself in harmony with his statement on the subject of convict labor. He said the committee has authorized no campaign against Russian imports.

"Only Personal Opinion” "Mr Woll was expressing his own personal opinion when he urged an embargo against all Russian goods,” Green said. “If there is evidence that convict labor is being used by Russia in the manufacture of goods intended lor export to this country, they should be excluded under the tarift law. This, of course, applies equally to any other country.” The Peoples lobby of Washington today called upon Lowman to investigate labor conditions in the Bauxite mines of Secretary Andrew W. Mellon abroad. The letter also urged an inquiry into labor conditions in Rockefeller mine and oil fields outside the United States as well and the copper operation of American interest in Chile. President Hoover's statement that Russian trade should not be discriminated against on political grounds was believed today to have weakened Lowman's determination in the matter of the embargo. There were indications that following a treasury conference today, the ban would be modified.

DRY GENERALS GET ORDERS IN CAPITALPARLEY Administrators From All Sections of Country at Meeting With Mitchell. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 30—Prohibition administrators from every section of the country gathered here today to learn at first hand the administration’s views on enforcement policies. There were indications a shake-up in their personnel may result from the conference. On the eve of the meeting Attor-ney-General Mitchell, Assistant At-torney-General Youngquist and Prohibition Director Woodcock discussed matters of personnel and policy with President Hoover at the White House. Woodcock said later he would place before the dry administrators “what they are expected to accomplish and what our general policy is in regard to enforcement of prohibition.” He said he would make public the policy after the conference in which administrators from the twelve enforcement districts and twelve special agents are participating. Three factors are known to be foremost in the policy which Woodcock will present. They are: Emphasizing the need of better state co-operation; education of the public on law observance, and stopping the flow of bootleg liquor at the source rather than attempting to catch individual bootleggers. Maintenance of an “orderly and well disciplined force” has been revealed as one of Woodcock’s principal objectives. He has said he would discipline personally any agent who violated civil rights of citizens or rules of the justice department.

JURY PLEADS FOR FUNDS TO 1 PROREJOTES Written Request Presented to Judge Collins; Court to Set Sum. Request for appropriation of funds by the county council to finance further investigation of fraud in the last primary election was made today by the Marion county grand jury. The jury submitted the written request to Criminal Judge James A. Collins, asserting: “Money is needed adequately, thoroughly and speedily to enable this body properly to investigate complaints concerning law violations in the primary election.” Without such funds, the jury will be powerless to carry on the investigation, the report stated. Judge Collins was asked to fix the sum required. The court indicated it would set the figure probably Saturday. The grand jury was instructed to go on vacation Thursday, to reconvene Sept. 1. The last grand jury terminated its investigation of primary frauds with a report that there was unmistakable evidence of fraud in the election, but explained that indictments were not returned because its work had been crippled by the county council’s refusal to grant $5,000 for carrying on the probe. It recommended the succeeding jury continue the investigation. E. W. Hoover, John Bienz, Edward Lyon and J. T. Andrews, arrested after the primary for alleged violation of the election laws, filed motions ir criminal court today to quash the affidavits, declaring the charge of failing to perform their duties not sufficient grounds for the charges.

CITY FOLKS ENJOY RESTFUL VACATIONS

Some Like Touring, Others Choose to Fish, Many Stay at Home. MRS. HELEN GIBSON, 1918 College avenue: MY vacation was just what I needed in way of a tonic. Pure, sweet mountain air, with the scent of pines; good cold water filtered through sunlight, and food galore. Then, early rising to see what the day had in store. Maybe a long hike through the woods, over old trails or to swim, perhaps just be lazy and read and nap. After two weeks of this I came back physically and mentally alert, ready to take up my work with a better disposition and plenty of pleasant things to think about. st a u Mountain regions are proving heavy favorites with those who are airing their vacation hobbies in The Times Vacation Letter Contest. Stay-at-homes, too, have been scoring heavily, as have the fishermen and tourists. Where are the golf bugs, the beach loungers, and the hikers? Send your letters, not over 100 words, to the Vacation Contest Editor at The Times. A prize of $5 is being awarded weekly to the reader whose letter best describes: “Why I think my vacation was best from the standpoint of physical and mental benefits I derived.”

MRS. W. A. COLLINS, R. R. 10, Box 269: “r WANT to travel, alone, to a X high hill or mountain, where l j will find a one-room log cabin, surrounded by trees. An open fireplace, shelves lined with books; there must be cobblestones leading up to the door and a stream of game fish waters near. What a restful vacation for the mother of four healthy children. I’d love to spend the rest of my years saying “Please wash your ears,” if I could spend one month in my ideal dream spot.” tt tt a MRS. PEARL LANPHER, 1304 i Olive street: THE best vacation is a trip through the east. A good day’s drive and you have reached the mountains where we see the marvels of God. Driving through nature’s wonderland, we come to New York City, where we are bewildered and amazed at the marvelous structures built by man- A trip up Riverside drive, a stroll down Broadway, a boat ride down the bay and out into the ocean, not forgetting a visit to the Statue of Liberty and we have rounded out the perfect vacation. Our bodies and minds are renovated so thoroughly that there is no chance for cobwebs before another vacation. n st tt MRS. ANNA SCHWALMIRE, 1734 Olive street: VISITING old friends here in the city, some I have not seen in one to two years, and an attempt to cheer older people than myself, who can not leave home, is my vacation. Preparing rare bits of food for my husband, who has been in ill health for more than two years, reading some, writing to old friends and taking plenty of rest, rounded out a good vacation. tt u MRS. HARRY E. ROYSE, 911 Dawson street: MEMORIES may have something to do with it. but now and for | the last twenty years Lake Manitou j has been our annual vacation renj dezvous. When the children were | small, it was ideal in its safety. Now I since the children are all married and scattered. Dad and I still go back each summer. One of the boys and his family always spend part of j their vacation with us there. Boat- j ing, fishing, lovely beaches all are found here at this Hoosier “haven of rest.” n a MRS. JOHN M’ALISTEP., 3709 East Sixteenth street: MY idea of a real vacation is to tour the country and get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Do not bother with any fussy clothing. Live in knickers. Put up at nice, shady tourist cnps, eat food cooked out in the open, go to bed

when good and tired and leave when you get ready. In the evening sit in the open and enjoy some good French harp music, which my husband can furnish. What a wonderful change from the monotonous daily routine!

FOSTER NAMED i FLEEING MAN IN LINGLEMURDER Cop Points Out Suspect in Court at Hearing on $25,000 Bond. fit/ United Press CHICAGO, July 30.— Frank Foster. Capone gangster under indictment for the complicity in the murder of Alfred J. Lingle, Tribune reporter, was identified positively today by patrolman Anthony Rutha as the fugitive suspect he chased through downtown crowds immediately after the slaying, June 9. The identification was made during a court hearing on Foster’s application for release under bond. When a demand w r as made by Attorney Charles Levy, counsel for the gangster, that the state prove it had enough evidence to warrant holding Foster in jail, Rutha was placed on the witness stand. He was describing his pursuit of a fleeing man near the Michigan avenue subway, where Lingle was killed, when he saw Foster in the courtroom. “That man there resembles him,’* said Rutha. Foster then was paraded back and forth while the officer scrutinized him closely. Identifies Foster “Yes. that’s the man I chased, ** declared Rutha positively. The gangster, who once owned the revolver used in the Lingle murder, was unaware of the identification because he was some distance from the witness stand and unable to hear Rutha’s testimony. After the officer left the stand, Judge Daniel V. Trude continued the bond application hearing to Sept. 9 and at the same time, ordered the state to be ready to proceed with its prosecution of Foster on that date. Unless Foster is placed on trial before the hearing is resumed, he will be released under bond of $25,000, the judge ruled. State Opposes Bond Strenuous opposition to the granting of the application was presented by the state, which, after obtaining the indictment againstFoster, caused his arrest and return from Los Angeles in the hope he would disclose the identity of the person to whom he gave the gun found by Lingle’s body. At the time Foster was indicted, the state’s attorney said it was not believed the gangster was directly involved in the slaying, but that he probably knew who the murderers were.
