WHITE HOUSE MEET OF BUSINESS HEADS SET nsv UU HI Preliminary Conference of Busi-' nesa Heads to Answer Call of President to Pro mote Progress. HOOVER WILL FURNISH LEADERS WITH OUTLINE Means of Loosening Capital and Stopping Loss of Luxury Buying on Docket. WASHINGTON, (JP) President Hoover's preliminary conference of representatives of business and government to promote business progress will conveno Thursday at the White House. In calling the conference to ordor, the president will furnich the basif outline. The members will consider what definite steps can be taken for the constructive release of reservoir of capital, and absorbing any slackening of activity in the so-called luxury lines which generally are the first to feel the pinch in such condition as have arisen recently.

Mr. Hoover Is carrying forward con sultations, mostly by telephone wltn leaders ot the various business groups of the country who will be expected to name their own representatives at the conference. Consequently he is not 1n position at this time to say precisely who will represent these groups. Representation of states and municipalities in the actual conferences Is scarcely feasible, but? these units 'o? government will be consulted during the discussions since the early execution of vast volumes of public works which they have held in abeyance from th principal areas in which how idle capital can be employed. The situation in this field will presented by Secretary Lamont who has been having made a comprehensive survey of the field of pending public works in states, Cjjties and counties.

While ttiis survey still far from sufficient Information has been obtained to show-that works in the aggregate of $350,000,000 have been held in abeyance. There have been several causes for this lagging, but the primary one ha- been the inability of these divisions of government to obtain attractive jiriccs for the securities becauso of the higher interest rates which have been offered in the markets for stocks. Railways, public utilities, buildings and merchant marine also furnish a substantial reserve for added employment of capital as wark in these spheres also has been lagging for a considerable length ot time. These fields will be carefully canvassed by the conference. In the field of agriculture representation in the conference will be largely governmental, with tho federal farm board and ths department of agrlcudture prepared to supply information and make constructive suggestions for the use of the new powers to assist agriculture.

The survey which the conference will make is a complicated one an! the task involves a great mass of work in organization and coordination. It was in recognition of this that the president has referred tu the forthcoming meeting as a preliminary conference. i Authors Relative Believed Suicide LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16.

The Indians' passing attack, was working at the season's best and the Cardinals with Murphy hurling the oval for forty an.

Ryan who played his usual good game In the Indian backflcld scored the second touchdown for the Indians with an "Impossible" catch of a pass that sailed from the hand of Teddy Bauserman.
