Evening Herald. PREPARATION SECOND RELIEF CONFERENCE Governor Pinchot Will Meet State Leaders and Others Next Monday Morning. THREE GROUPS ARE AGREED RELIEF NEEDED Governor Made No Reply to Demand For Democratic Representation at Confab. By Thomas E. Williams, United Press Staff Correspondent.

Harrisburg, June 13. (U.P)-Administration heads, Republican State leaders and members of the legislature today concentrated on assembling data for a series of conferences which are to be staged here next Monday to discuss the advisability of a second special unemployment relief session of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Departmental heads of the State government, acting under instructions from Governor Pinchot, studies means of effecting economies to add to the 000 savings in governmental costs, which the Governor said have already been put into effect for the current fiscal year. State fiscal officers prepared figures on revenue and estimates for the current biennium. Attorney General Schnader had before him a demand from heads of the Talbot- group of legislators for an "understandable statement" of the Commonwealth's financial condition.

In a letter to Schnader Representatives Grover C. Talbot and Ellwood W. Turner, of county, expressed doubt that appropriations for hospitals, schools and mothers' assistance would have to be cut if the proper economies State government were effected. Three different groups are to gather here next Monday to discuss the advisability of a session to provide unemployment relief and to save the Commonwealth from a threatened deficit the close of the current biennium, ending May 31, 1933. Governor Pinchot has summoned Republican organization heads for the third special session conference.

The Talbot-Turner group plans a second confab and the bloc of rural legislators are coming back for a second meeting. So far all three groups have agreed upon one point, no additional State taxes can be imposed. Most insistant demands for relief those made destitute by the unemployment crisis comes from the two largest counties in the State, Philadelphia and Allegheny. Most other sections report ability to feed the hungry until the regular session of the Legislature next year provides relief. Unconfirmed rumors circulated today through political circles that Republican leaders in Philadelphia and gheny might agree to sections of comprehensive program submitted Governor Pinchot last week, including bond issues aggregating almost in return for legislative aid Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

So far, demands voices by Van Dyke, Democratic State Chairman, for Democratic representation in special session conferences, have brought no response from Governor Pinchot Republican leaders.

(U.P)- Stanislaus Felix Hausner was making slow but favorable progressing aboard my ship today after drifting at sea for a week in his wrecked monoplane, forced down on a projected New York-Warsaw flight.

Washington, June 13. (U.P)-The House of Representatives seemed likely to surrender today to the bedraggled unarmed Bonus army. The $2,200,000,000 cash bonus demanded by 17,000 World war veterans encamped in muddy fields around the capital appeared certain of approval on a test vote. Administration and. Democratic House leaders abandoned hope of stemming the swing toward the bonus which began when the first contingent of veterans arrived over a week ago.

They remained confident, however, that the bonus would be killed in the Senate. In any event, a veto by President Hoover is certain. The test vote was. to come shortly after noon on a petition of 145 Representatives to discharge the Rules Committee from further consideration of the Patman bonus bill. If the committee is discharged, as expected, the House probably will pass the bill tomorrow.

Week-end reenforcements swelled the Bonus army to 17,000 and it seemed likely to mount to 20,000., The broad and rain-soaked Anacostia. flats were filled to overflowing. Police Chief Pelham D. Glassford obtained new quarters for many. TWO CENTS LXII.

-No. 138 REDUCTIONS IN TAXES MADE BY PUBLIC BODIES Schuylkill-Northumberland Taxpayers' Association Urged Cut in Tax Levies. PART OF PROGRAM TO CURB EXTRAVAGANCE Association Preparing Report on Every Public Body Refusing to Co-operate. The Schuylkill-Northumberland Taxpayers' Association announced today that 33 public bodies in the two counties have already effected substantial tax reductions for the current year as a result of co-operation with the representatives of the Association. While there are some cases where the Association feels that proper economies would have resulted in greater tax reductions, there are others in which it is felt that public officials have carried out fully the taxpayers suggestions.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be cut from the taxpayers bills in many the tax districts as the result of of lower levies. The reductions range from 1-10 of a mill in Reilly township to 10 mills in the Union township road district. "In Walker township, the school directors closely scanned all items of proposed expenditure, pruned lowered the taxes by four mills. In Tremont Borough, the school district reports a three mill reduction with salaries of teachers, janitors and other employees adjusted in deference to the strong public sentiment for economity of Pottsville cut the 1932 tax rate by two mills. New Philadelphia borough has made a six mill cut and the New Philadelphta school district has made a seven and one-half mill reduction.

"The list of 33 public taxing bodies in Schuylkill and Northumberland counties which have reduced the levies this year will be increased as other districts ratify plans for public economy which are now in the course of execution," said M. J. Shortley, manager of the Taxpayers' Association. "It may be interesting to the citizens of Northumberland county to know that the record of tax reduction in that county to date is far less impressive than in Schuylkill county. Unfortunately, the Association has found many districts in the two counties where officials insist upon a continuance of their greedy exactions for purposes of patronage, extravagance, and the sodden inefficiency accumulated by years of unbridled license.

"Thousands of good citizens in the two counties have definitely offered their support for the elimination of public waste. In the face of a rising citizenry, political greed and chicanery will be unable to prevail. It has existed and (Continued on Page Five) NEW SEWERAGE LINE ON N.

By Raymond Clapper. United Press Staff Correspondent. Chicago, June 13. (U.P)-Administra tion forces mobilized at Republican convention headquarters today to fight off raids on the White House program, which is understood to call for renomination of Vice President Curtis and adoption of a re-submission prohibition plank. One of the last of the Cabinet strategists to arrive, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, without attempting to speak for the administration, declared it his own personal view that Curtis should be renominated.

"It is my own personal opinion," he told the United Press, "that Vice President Curtis has been co-operative and helpful and is entitled to renomination." This statement was echoed privately by half a dozen of the men most intimately associated with President Hoover. It was expected to effect final collapse of the attempt to draft former Vice President Dawes, Secretary of War Hurley or others mentioned in corridor gossip. Mrs. Dolle Gann, sister of Vice President Curtis, arrived today to look out for her brother's interest. John D.

Rockefeller, who recently created a sensation by reversing his life-long prohibition views, and declaring for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment, arrived today. It was unthe certain platform whether committee he to would argue go for before peal in accordance with his recent declaration. Administration forces also were turning on heavy pressure to break up the eleventh-hour drive of the prohibition repealers, who threatened to upset the milder resubmission referendum program of the White House. The repeal movement gathered momentum as the eve of the convention approached and plans were afoot for a demonstration which would bring the prohibition issue to a crisis on the convention floor. Members of the Pennsylvania delegation, second largest in the convention, will assemble this evening with expectations of declaring for outright repeal.

Delegates arriving for the opening session of the convention tomorrow were confronted with huge black newspaper headlines announcing that New York, with the largest delegation in the convention, had voted for repeal. Drys were in conference, disheartened by the failure of the White House to support their fight against resubmission. They refused to discuss their plans, having adopted a resolution pledging absolute secrecy. (Copyright, 1932, by United Press.) Chicago, June 13. (U.P.)-The great mass of delegates to the Republican national convention arrived here today with two paramount questions in mind: "Will the platform declare for repeal of the Prohibition law, or resubmission of the issue to the people?"

The monoplane was last sighted driftsoutheastward at about one knot. Hausner asked that eny passing vessel try to salvage it as he believes it is in fairly good condition.

The calm sea and fine weather preveiling all the time he was adrift probably prevented the plane from going to pieces in the water. Never Gave Up Hope. Newark, N. June 13. (U.P) Mrs.

"I had faith in Stanislaus, and prayed for him Mrs. Hausner told interviewers happily. "People told me that I had better reconcile myself to being a widow, but I knew better. I knew he was somewhere and alive, and I prayed that somebody would find him before it was too late," Mrs.

Hausner said.

A clinic was set up in the 20th Marine Armory. More rolling kitchens were provided from the regular army calvary post at Fort Myers. Contributions of food and clothing continued to pour in and the veterans' band balance was above $6,000. Hundreds of members of the Bonus expeditionary forces swarmed into the captiol today awaiting the opening of the House gallery doors so they could be present at the test vote of the Patman Bonus bill.
