R. F. C. PLANS CLOSER LINK TO NATION'S PRESS Meetings With Reporters to Supplement Publication of Loans. BY RAY TUCKER Timet Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-After resisting even congressional demands for publicity, members of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation today are planning to arrange for closer liaison between the financial relief organization and the press. It will supplement publication of loans as authorized by congress. In discussing the problem with correspondents at the National Press Club, Garner Cowles, director and publisher of the Des Moines Register, indicated definite meetings with the press would be held in the near future. Despite reticence concerning ungranted applications and other details, he and Atlee Pomerene, president, said they thought the press could help to make their relief work more effective. Publicity Ban Rescinded A by-law against publicity adopted during the regime of Eugene Meyer, governor of the federal reserve board, has been resinded. It has been known that certain high treasury officials opposed the secrecy insisted on by Meyer and Charles G. Dawes when the latter was president. Meyer did not take kindly even to White House suggestions that it would be helpful if the corporation's relief program were more generally known. The prospective change in policy comes as a surprise not only because of the R. F. C.s previous attitude, but also because President Hoover has almost severed contact with the press in recent months. Although he has been making almost a statement a day, he has seen the correspondents only a few times since early spring, instead of at the two conferences held weekly by his predecessors. Explain Hoover’s Attitude When the Presdent invited four correspondents and a flock of photographers to his Rapidan camp last Saturday, it was the first time they had had contact with him in months. Although he gave out no statements, he permitted the cameramen to photograph him while fishing, on horseback and in repose. The pictures will be used during the campaign. Hoover’s friends explain his attitude by saying he dislikes “persona 1” publicity, although willing enough to publicize his political and governmental activities. It was for this reason, they say, that he tried to prevent reporters from accompanying him on his recent fishing trip down the bay.

PENNSYLVANIA POWER RULING IS DUE TODAY Clarion River Company Fighting U. S. Commission's Jurisdiction. By Scripys-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The federal power commission was to decide today whether or not the Clarion River Power Company of Pennsylvania, which has been fighting its jurisdiction in the courts, has attempted also to evade terms of the federal water power act by transfer of its corporate property to another subsidiary of Associated Gas and Electric Company. Oswald Ryan, general counsel of the commission, has been investigating the matter for the last three weeks following a report from the Pennsylvania public service commission that the transfer of company property had been made. Ryan and James F. Lawson, assistant counsel, have conferred with Pennsylvania officials as to the possibility of joint action by state and federal governments to protect the rights of persons holding $4,500,000 worth of Clarion River Power Company preferred stock, as well as the jurisdiction of the power commission over the company's licensed power project. GRANDI’S POLICE GUARD DECORATED BY ITALY Four Officials at New York Paid Honor by Consul. NEW YORK. Aug. 23.—“8e on your toes, men," Inspector John O'Brien said to the four police officials he had summoned to his office. “The Italians will be here in a moment." At that moment the Italian consul and two assistants came in. They hung the insigna of cavalier of the crown of Italy around the necks of the four astonished policemen, Inspector Anthony L. Howe, Deputy Inspector John P. M. Griffith and Captains C. P. Mooney and Michael F. McDermott. It seems they were in charge of the police arrangements during the recent visit of Dino Grandi to New York and this was Italy’s way of awarding them. “These Italians," said Captain McDermott, fumbling his decoration, “sure do things up brown.” FIGHT COAL PILE BLAZE Firemen Get Plenty of Work for More Than Two Hours. Fire in a 175-ton pile of coal gave firemen plenty of work for more than two hours today. Spontaneous combustion is blamed for firing the coal, which had been unloaded from five cars in the yard of the Indianapolis Coal Company, 2131 West Michigan street. R. E. Layton, 1457 North Holmes avenue, in charge of the yard, said damage probably is from $75 to SIOO. Accurate estimate will not be possible until the coal is spread so it can be determined how much was burned. Nab Driver on Rum Charge Accused of having a gallon can containing a quart of liquor in his automobile, Maynard Windsor, 27, of 557 North Dearborn street, was arrested Monday night at Illinois and Washington streets on charges of blind tiger, improper driving and disorderly conduct.

HOLD RITES FOR FARMER-BANDIT Blood Transfusion Fails to Save Holdup Man.

OTTAWA DOOMS PRESENT U. S. TARIFFJOLICY Faced by Constantly Rising Schedules, Nation Must Adopt Alternatives. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Forrirn Editor WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The imperial economic conference at Ottawa sounded the death-knell of the existing tariff policy of the United States, foreign trade experts indicated today. Faced by constantly rising tariffs which are blocking the free flow of trade in every direction, the United States is seen as nearing the place where it must adopt one of three drastic alternatives. It can take part in world-wide tariff reforms on a live-and-let-live basis, and bargain for trade advantages with the rest of the nations. Could Be Hermit Nation It can accept the situation created at Ottawa and elsewhere of having its goods shut out, and seek new trade outlets, particularly in Russia and China. It can shut itself in behind tariff walls so high that nothing can get in or get out and become, economically speaking, a hermit nation, producing for and trading exclusively with itself. The last being out of the question as a practical propostion—unless the nation is bent on suicide—the first or second alternatives, or a combination of the two, is regarded as likely. In accepting the invitation to attend the world economic conference scheduled to take place next fall, probably in London, Washington let it be known that tariffs would not be a welcome subject. Asa result of Ottawa, Washington may change its mind. Pact Details Secret Tariff policies now hardly can fail to be one of the most important items on the agenda, and it is believed the United States will participate in the discussions as a veryinterested party. Just how hard Ottawa actually did hit the United States can not be determined for some time. The bulk of America’s imperial trade is with Canada and Britain, and the important details of their pact are still secret, not to be announced until they come up for ratification in the fall.
