G. 0. P„ BROKE, CASTING ABOUT FOR AITANGEL' National Committee Finds Funds Depleted: Deficit Is Feared. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, June 26.—For the first time since the Harding campaign of 1920, the Republican national committee Is worried seriously about its exchequer. Due to the depression, contributions have lillen off to almost nothing, while expenses are becoming more urgent as the 1932 presidential year approaches. Several party officials were called here this week. They succeeded in scraping together funds to insure operating the national party headquarters on the current basis for another month or two without having to borrow money. Meantime efforts will be made to gather in contributions. Party leaders are opposed to permitting a deficit to develop, and there even has been talk at headquarters of curtailing activities rather than to permit accounts to go into the red ink. It costs between $20,000 and $25,000 a month to operate the Republican national committee headquarters. Contributions are averaging less than $1,500 a month. There has been a prejudice against party deficits since the episode in which Will Hays, former Republican national chairman, used bonds supplied by Harry F. Sinclair, oil man, under dummy contributors to finance the deficit left from the Harding campaign. President Coolidge was much concerned over the embarrassment to the party resulting from that situation and issued orders that there should be no more party deficits.

BEER RUMORS ANGER HOOVER ANDHIS AIDS White House Is Irked by Reports President Is for Brew. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 26.—Recurrence of false rumors that President Hoover is to declare himself in favor of 4 per cent beer has led the White House to the conclusion that someone is engaged in persistent effort to embarrass the President. During the past six months the rumor has bobbed up in all sections of the country. Brokers wires have carried repeated tips that “at 4 p. m. today Mr. Hoover will have a statement on beer,” or “Hear Hoover ready with beer statement.” In the past three days the rumor has been circulated among apparently well informed persons in the financial districts of New York, Chicago and Cleveland. The similar nature of the rumors and the inability of the White House to stamp them out with denials has aroused officials here: They believe some persons or group of persons are undertaking a definite propaganda campaign. They assert there is not a grain of truth in the reports.
