LETTER ON SILVER
McCarran Plans Meeting
Following Expression
by Morgenthau.
By th* Associated Press.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, planned a meeting today of
the silver bloc to discuss s letter re
ceived yesterday from Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau in which the
Secretary said the Treasury had ac
quired 431,497,000 ounces of silver In
the 10 months ending May 31, and
termed the "disappearance” of specu
lative inlluenoes which shot the price
to 81 cents In April "a wholesome de
velopment.”
Morgenthau'* letter, replying to one
from Senator McCarran asking
whether the administration had aban
doned the program to buy silver until
it equaled one-fourth the total metallic
monetary reserves, said the figures on
purchases and other acqulslons "speak
for themselves.”
Uncertainty of Buying.
But McCarran and others in his
group said they were not satisfied that
buying was being continued as rap
idly as it might.
In a letter to Morgenthau last
week the Nevada Senator had inquired
If any sales of silver had been made
directly or indirectly through the *3,
000.000.000 stabilization fund, what
policy was being followed in carrying
• out the silver purchase act and what
caused the recent drop of 9 cents in
the market price of the metal.
Morgenthau refused to reply to the
question regarding the stabilization
fund, saying It would "not be in the
public interest,” as this fund had to
do with "international exchange rela
tions rather than domestic monetary
policy matters.”
Manipulations Blamed.
Replying to the query regarding the
drop in price, Morgenthau said:
' “I do not believe that the sudden
and abnormal rise of the price to 81
cents In the latter part of April was
the result of the normal operation of
legitimate market forces.
“I think rather that it is to be at
tributed to manipulation of speculative
Interests. The disappearance of this
unhealthy condition and Influence has
been a wholesome development.”
McCarran took exception primarily
to this statement, telling newsmen:
“When did a rise in price of silver
become an unhealthy condition when
the Congress passed a bill directing
that pin-chases be made until the price
reached $1.29 and the Treasury prom
ised to attain that price with reason
able speed?”

Taxicabs
(Continued From First Page.)
for the convention and “the disgrace
ful, unwarranted and slanderous at
tack upon taxicab drivers over the
loudspeakers on Pennsylvania avenue,”
President Davis of Diamond said at
the close of a six-hour Board of Di
rectors’ meeting which resulted In the
order to abandon the high rates.
The 2,000 cabs of Bell, Blue Light,
Premier, City, Harlem and General
had never deserted the 20-30-50-70
basis.
Dunlap accused Diamond and the
Union Cab Association, headed by B.
G. and Adolph Hohensee, of “taking
undue credit for breaking the taxicab
strike, which was foolish and without
sane reason anyway.” He said:
“The strike was made possible by
the failure of the Utilities Commission
and the House District Committee to
draft Ironclad rules governing a uni
form rate scale for all cabs.”
Dunlap added he was. In sympathy
with members of Congress who threat
ened to boycott cabs responsible for the
short-lived high scale.
A meeting called early this morn
ing by the Hohensees to stir sentiment
for a 20-40-60-80 schedule resolved
Into a union-organization attempt
which met with little success.
Only about 250 drivers, many of
whom came to scoff, appeared at the
lot at Fifth and Florida avenue north
hast, where the Hohensees had made
elaborate arrangements for what they
declared in advance was to be a
strike-aversion rally.
Adolph Hohensee said another
meeting will be held this afternoon
at 3 o'clock at 423 G street.
He and his brothers were termed
“a couple of agitators" by Leon Brill,
president of Bell Cab Association, who
Issued a statement titled, “Who’s
Looagy How?”
Results ef Strike Listed.
“The drivers of the city were vic
timised by a dozen or two hoodlums,”
Brill declared, and listed the re
sults of the strike and the rate-raise
thus:
“The drivers, who had been wait
ing eagerly for months to make some
extra money with the coming of the
convention, muffed and made a com
plete strike-out.
“The taxicab industry received the
blackest eye it ever did in its history.
“The ridiEg public has oeen in
i stiiieo with a fear that will take
months to overcome.
“The Capital of the United States
has been disgraced as a nost and
convention city and its guests in
sulted and humiliated after travel
ing in some cases thousands of miles
to visit this city.”
Meanwhile, complaints were being
mrde by many passengers that drivers
were still charging the higher rates.
Pretests in some cases were met by
the statement chat “the rates change
so often we don't know what to
| charge.”

received a letter from the secretary

! the summons to return to Greece, not
just to personify a system of gov
ernment on its return to favor, but

touched by the devotion of a large
number of Greeks to the monarchy.

RECOVERY PUT UP
Manufacturers’ Group Head
Speaks to Conference of
Advertising Unit.
Br the Auociatad Frau.
CHICAGO, June 13.—The durable
goods Industry was urged yesterday
by Herman H. Lind, Toledo, general
manager of the National Machine
Tool Manufacturers’ Association, to
regain its old aggressiveness and de
liver the knockout blow to the de
pression.
Speaking before the Industrial
marketing conference group of the
Advertising Federation of America
Convention, Lind said real "recovery
will have been accomplished when
employable persons have or can get
jobs."
"There Is general agreement." he
added, "that the principal field of un
employment lies in the durable goods
industry," constituting one of the big
barriers to a return of prosperity.
America’s Immediate modernization
and rehabilitation requirements have
been eetimated at $100,000,000,000,
Lind said. At the same time "huge
deposits and credit reserves are piling
up in the banks to an extent that
probably never before existed,” he
continued.
The speaker said that during the
depths of the depression, "business
men were In active competition in
talking pessimism, almost bragging as
to ‘who was the most broke.' ”
“We are getting away from that,"
he said, and now need only to fulfill
the "great unsatisfied need for de
ficiencies brought by wear, tear and
obsolescense to bring about expendi
ture of an amount of money that
would make our public works pro
grams, large as they are, appear
pigmy sized."
PLAN TO BUY BRAVES
DENIED BY MARSHALL
Laundry Owner Scoffs at Boston
Base Ball Club Deal Rumors.
Will Remain Here.
George Marshall, Washington laun
dry owner and nationally prominent
sportsman, today denied that he ii
contemplating the purchase of th(
National League base ball club In
Boston, where it Is being rumored that
he Is a likely buyer of the franchise.
“I am not Interested In buying the
Braves or any other ball club,” Mar
shall said. “I know of no reason
why I should give up an established
business here to gamble on big league
base ball. And buying the Bravei
would be a gamble, I believe.”
Marshall is president and principal
owner of the Boston Redskins in the
National Leegue of Professional Fool
Ball Clubs. "Running a professional
foot ball club that plays only sever
j games a year does not take me awaj
j from by business here often, but run
l nine a base ball club playing 15t
! games a year would require my ful
attention,” be said. "I am not in thi
market for any ball club.”

HUNT FOR STOLEN CASH
KEEPS D. C. POLICE BUSY
Police were being kept busy toddy
in tracking down pickpockets and
thieves who stole money and prop
erty from hotel rooms, In several In
stances, after striking up chance ac*
qualntanees with the occupant*—ee*
eral of them visiting Shriners.
A total of 1387 in cash and $145
worth of property was reported taken
In thefts from hotel rooms in the past
24 hours. Pickpockets obtained $181,
some $150 of which was taken from
one man while he was In the crowd
on Pennsylvania avenue yesterday
during the parade.
A number of suspects, several of
them women, already have been ar
rested. Many are from out of town.
Stork Reveals Baby Camel May
Be Named for D. C. Temple
the name of Almas, host temple
to the Shrine conclave, may be con
ferred on the baby expected soon to
be bom to Zora. the mother camel
brought here by Zor Temple of Mad
ison, Wia.
It has been an open secret since the
three camels. Zor. Zora and Rufus,
arrived by train here, that the herd
is expected to be increased by one.
But H was whispered about today for
the first time that the Shilne temple
here in all probability will be hon
ored by having its name given to the
baby camel.
Of course Almas, meaning diamond,
would do all right for a boy camel.
But the members of Zor Temple have
fixed the name up all light, if the
baby happens to be a girl. In that
case they will call her “Alma,” and
she still will be named after the hoet
temple here.
Zora’s Syrian keeper. Salem Markos,
who la a Shriner himself, was loath to
bring Zora to Washington on account
of her delicate condition, but was
finally prevailed upon to do so.
Harvey Burr, who was riding one
of the camels, nearly fell off his pre
carious perch right in front of the re
viewing stand yesterday. Waving
hilariously to a friend in the review
ing stand, believed to have been Rep
resentative Harry Southoff, Burr tilted
his camel saddle and waved frantically
to regain his balance: In the parlance
of the West, he “pulled leather.” It
was a narrow escape.
Old Rufus, the daddy camel of the
herd. Is named after Rufus Wells,
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the “On to Washing
ton” campaign of Zor Temple.
Bellamy Seals, head of the camel
herders of Zor, rode one of the other
camels, but managed to stick tight,
although his “ship of the desert"
rocked right roughly at time* 'along
smooth Pennsylvania a venae.
Bellamy is capital custodian and
chief electrician at Madison, and takes
an active Interest in Zor. Zara and
Rufus. The camels are housed and
fed at Vilas Park Zoo, city-owned
playground in Madison. Every ywek
end the Shriners play boat to Wiscon
sin children and give them free rides
on the animals.
Zor, Zora and Rufus will be-seen
again tonight in the night parade of
uniformed bodies, all drtpsed Up In
their genuine Arabian robes. They are
the only camels In the parade of
Shriners. and are a living insignia of
the Shrine.
Another camel was named for Almas
Temple this Spring, when a baby was
born to a mother camel in the big
circus. “Bob” Smith, potentate of
the temple, went to the circus lot and
christened the gangling youngster.
