Treasury Gives Tax Decreases
Billion Dollar Deficit Is Predicted After Slim Revenue Return
WASHINGTON, Oct 20—(UP)— Another treasury deficit mounting to the billion dollar mark, was forecast tonight by the September internal revenue report showing slender tax collections despite the new revenue act
While some increases were registered in the manufacturers’ excises, backbone of the 1932 tax act the totals for the last month were still far below the yield which must be obtained for even a paper budget balancing operation.
Collections thus far this year have lagged nearly 1100,000,000 below receipts for the same period in 1931 when the treasury rolled up the staggering deficit of more than $2,880,000,000. The deficit so far this year has amounted to approximately $560,000,000.
A tremendous fall in income tax collections was the most marked feature of the September tax report; George J. Schoneman, deputy internal revenue commissioner, reporting this source of federal income at only $142,203,202 as against $263,877,854 for September last year.
Total yields of internal revenue for September were reported as $216,481,286.87 as against $312,-580,930.10 for September last year and $79,940,310.43 for August of this year. The small August collections were explained by the fact that the bulk of income taxes are paid in other months.

Hoover Plans Political Trip To California
President May Return To Help Sway Votes In Golden State
WASHINGTON, Oct 20—(UP)— President Hoover is inclined very strongly toward a trip home to California to cast his vote and contribute his personal influence in the state which is being listed in the ‘doubtful” class as the campaign nears its end.
No final decision has been reached. Those who know the president well, however, believe he will return to California on the eve of the election, and possibly take an ocean voyage after the election before returning here. It is likely he might come back by way of the Panama canal.
The chief executive has received numerous pleas recently to go to California, especially since Senator Hiram Johnson has thrown the weight of his influence against him. Despite straw votes and discouraging reports, Republicans can not believe they will lose California to Governor Roosevelt The odds against President Hoover in California have risen since Johnson’s open bolt
The president is devoting his attention now to his speech in Detroit Saturday night, the third venture into the Middle-Western area. He is contemplating a fourth trip to that territory which would take him to Minneapolis and back through Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. The big stump speech of the East will be in New York, possibly on October 29. If he decides to go to California, he might include a Minneapolis speech on the way west
Hoover Denies Rumors About Oil Interests
President Hoover has no financial interest in foreign oil and was not opposed to a petroleum tariff, he declared today in a telegram to C. C. Teague, one-time federal board member and now a Republican campaign leader in California.
“I have your telegram stating that Democratic agents, despite all proof to the contrary, are still circulating misleading statements through their fields that I have been oposed to relief of the oil industry because of my supposed interest in foreign oil and that I opposed the tariff on oil.” the president said.
“This is the usual type of politics. I have not in 15 years since I entered public service had a dime’s interest outside of the United States of any kind, Including oil. I supported the oil tariff in the revenue bill and signed that bill. Without support I gave, I do not believe it would have received sufficient vote from non-oil sections to have carried.”
“Herbert Hoover.”

CARMEL. Calif., Oct 20.—(UP) —Queen Mary has reduced the antique game to a genteel racket, according to a copyrighted article appearing in the Carmel Pine Cone by Robert Welles Ritchie, until recently London correspondent for an American News association and well known as a writer. King George’s wife buys at a discount and sells at a premium, Ritchie said.
With perfect queenly decorum, according to Ritchie’s article, whenever her majesty spots a valuable piece of Chippendale she lets it be known she would like to add to her collection in Buckingham palace. The dealer quotes her majesty a substantial discount When
Queen Mary tires of her selections a hint from her sends dealers running with offers to buy at a considerable premium. Thus the good queen keeps her hobby self sustaining.
Queen Mary further exerts her influence on her youngest son, Prince George, by getting him to spend most of his spare time doing embroidery, Ritchie declares in his article and adds: "Queen Mary taught George all he knows about petit point, though not all he knows about some other matters. Since the Prince of Wales gave up fox hunting, mother has tried to interest him in the more difficult forms of embroidery but so far without much success.”

Ray MacDonald, as It will allow them sufficient time to coordinate action and speaking.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20—(UP) —Claiming he had a “real possibility” of carrying every state, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt appealed to thousands of Indiana voters today to ignore attempts to “Intimidate” workers by threat of depriving them of jobs in event of Democratic victory.
The Democratic presidential candidate drew what local residents said was the largest crowd since the visit of the elder Roosevelt in 1912.
Roosevelt’s program was jammed. On arrival he spoke from the balcony of the English hotel to a throng which almost filled Monument circle, an audience estimated at between 75,000 and 100,000 persons. An hour’s parade of unemployed escorted him from the train. Later Roosevelt * :>ke about party matters to Dem ( .itic workers and received couniless groups of county leaders from all over the state.
“Remember, the election isn’t won until the polls close on election day,” he said. “Our Democratic chairman, Jim Farley, was right in refusing to concede a single state. We’re going after every state, with a real possibility of carrying every one of them. I’d like to have in this election not just a landslide but a real revolution — the right kind of a revolution, a revolution by ballots.”
He said he wanted again to discuss the tactics of the Republicans.
“Some members of the community are practicing what amounts to intimidation,” he said, referring to assertions of leading Republicans that business needed the re-election of Mr. Hoover. •

PARIS, Oct. 20.—(UP)—A new plan for revision of the French war debt to the United States has been decided upon by the French government coincident with the revelation that France definitely intends to pay the debt installment due Dec. 15, it was learned today.
Although no official record was kept of his words, several newspapers pointed out that the pre mier drew a distinction between the commercial debt, due on American war stocks which the Cle-menceau government borrowed after the war, and the political debt, consisting of money borrowed during the war.

Trojan Host Starts Trek To Palo Alto for Battle

Game May Decide Pacific Coast Champion for 1932 Campaign
By Jack Lightfoot
Pacific coast conference grid supremacy may be settled at Palo Alto tomorrow afternoon when the Trojan Warhorse stalks into the Stanford stadium and clashes with the greatest Indian football machine since the days of Ernie Nevers in ’25 and ’26.
A fighting Southern California eleven will enter the fray as an underdog for the first time since 1928, when Stanford was a heavy favorite to defeat the southerners, but lost a surprising 10 to
0	encounter to Jones’ men. Teams coached by Glen Scobey Warner have not won a game from Troy since 1926 when the Cardinals triumphed 13 to 12 by a last minute touchdown in a thrilling contest.
Tie Score 13-13 tie resulted in ’27 while in 1928 the Trojans emerged victorious 10 to 0 and then continued their string of victories with the
41	to 12 massacre of the following season and last year took an easy
19	to 0 win.
Southern California, with its great defensive wall, is more than anxious to keep Its goal line uncrossed. Captain Brown and his men are determined to stop the Indians with their “razzle-dazzle” attack. Foxy “Pop” Warner claims that he has a more deceptive attack than ever befofe. His reverses, spinners, and laterals had Oregon State so baffled that the Cardinals waltzed through the Beaver defense and crossed the goal line four times for an astounding
27	to 0 victory. This was exactly 17 points better than the Jones coached machine was able to roll up against the stubborn Staters.
Backfield Doubtful
The Headman was undecided In his choice between Orv Mohler and Homer Griffith for his starting signal caller. However all indications pointed to Griffith’s being called on to lead the Trojans as signal caller .With three fullbacks ready for action, the Troy-men will be well fortified in this position with Dick Barber, Bob Getz, and Bob Morrison all rarin’ to go. It looks as if Barber would be the starting full.
At inside half Gordie Clark was named as a probable starter with Al Reboin and Bob McNeish. McNeish is slated to see a ltft of action during the game, because it is almost a foregone conclusion that both teams will take to the air in an effort to pierce tough defenses.
Position A Toss-up
It will be a toss-up as to who will start in the outside half berth between Cal Clemens and Bob Erskine.
On the line the same men who went in against Loyola will probably go up against Stanford, namely Ray Sparling and Ford Palmer, ends; Ernie Smith and Captain Tay Brown, tacklts; Aaron Rosenberg and Larry Stevens, guards; and Elwood Jorgenson or (Continued on page three)

By Wendell Sether

Students Form Caravan
A gigantic motorcade from tbe university through down-town Los Angeles preceded the station rally, as cars decorated in cardinal and gold followed busses bearing the team and band sped through the city.

Renewed firing occurred after they had entered the prison gates.
Trusties were called in from fields, guards on the prison walls were doubled and spectators kept 300 feet from the prison walls, through which rang a pandemonium of jeers, shouts, and curswh
punctuated by desultory shots. At one time witntsses saw a guard on the wall drop to one knee, aim and fire into the prison yard below him.
Prison authorities, it was learn ed. have requested Mayor G. C. Wright of Kingston to hold police and firemen in reserve to cope with the situation is required.
The United Press succeeded In putting a telephone call through to the prison offices, reaching Brigadier General D. M. Ormont of Ottawa, federal prison inspector here to conduct an inquiry into Monday’s rioting. Ormont said that there was “trouble” in the prison and admitted that officials had asked for the troops. He insisted however, that all prisoners had been returned to their cells by
