NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—(LLP)—Democratic congressional leaders pledged President-elect Roosevelt tonight their utmost cooperation in paring down the cost of the federal government and to prevent further taxes being added to the already heavy tax burden.
While economy was a paramount consideration of the unusual conference the president-elect and those who must carry out his program discussed the whole range of problems now confronting the nation, including farm relief, inflationary proposals which recently have forged to the front, the tariff, unemployment relief, railroad legislation, beer, and repeal of the 18th amendment
Communists Parade
As the congressional leaders entered the Roosevelt home they were reminded of the distress in by the nation by a demonstration of Communists before the fashionable Roosevelt residence. This group, numbering about 50 at the time, first went away when police ordered, but returned later in larger numbers and fought the police detail. The policemen beat them off with their clubs.
The 11 party leaders from Washington, headed by senate leader Joseph T. Robinson and Speaker John X. Garner, were ushered into the library on fne second floor only a few minutes after their arrival from Washington.
Special Session Necessary
There was much speculation on the train coming here as to the date of the special session of congress. All agreed that such a session if necessary, since President Hoover is almost certain to veto farm relief and beer bills, cardinal points in the Roosevelt program. They expected Roosevelt might set a date for the session tonight.
They told him that the main objective of the present session must be economy. The congressional leaders came with brief cases more bulgy than their overnight traveling cases. From them as the discussion proceeded, they drew forth documents relating to special projects.
Byrnes Presents Bill
Senator James F. Byrnes, Tenn., brought a copy of the economy bill granting Roosevelt almost dictatorial powers toreorganize the unwieldy federal government.
Robinson predicted that the senate would pass a beer bill within three weeks and also forecast success in the senate for the domestic allotment farm relief bill taken up today by the house.

Game Stunts Are Explained
Bailey Edgerton Answers Criticism of Trojan Rooting Section
In response to the numerous criticisms of the S.C. rooting section stunts at the Rose Bowl game, thanking the Richfield Oil company and J. B. Ward, local photographer, Bailey Edgerton, Trojan yell king for the past two years, assumed the entire responsibility for the stunts and stated that they were in no way meant to be advertising.
A letter from the Trojan yell leader to Mark Kelly, sports editor of the Los Angeles Examiner, follows:
“Dear Mr .Kelly:
“As my purpose in putting on a “Thanks to Richfield” rooting section stunt in the Southern Cali-fornia-Pittsburgh game has been misunderstood, I want to take full responsibility for it and offer my reasons. During my two years as yell king at S.C. this company has supplied the loud speaker system at games that has made it possible for us to give instructions to the men in the rooting section and to make our stunts work smooth.
“The company has also furnished loud speaker system for us at rallies, big banquets, team arrivals and departures and bonfires and even has sent men to the Stanford game to furnish the service there. All this has been done without charge. In the last football game of the season and the last one at which I was to direct the stunts I thought it worth while to express our appreciation for the cooperation that has so generously been given to the students and to me in my work. I regret very much that my attempts to express our appreciation has been misinterpreted, nardino.
“I planned the “Good Luck to Ward Photos” stunt because our friend J. B. Ward who Is one of the old timers of the campus has just left us and retired from business. It whs just another attempt to express the gratitude of the

Butler Report Clears Coast Grid Charges
Amateur Code * Defined; Elimination of Frosh Schedules Urged
By Quentin Reger
Giving the 10 colleges in the Pacific coast conference a clean bill of health as far as charges of proselyting and subsidization are considered, the report of Jonathan Butler, special investigator, was made public today after he had made an exhaustive study for 15 months.
Maintaining that most of the accusations thrown at the different members of the football conference are either groundless or do not represent violations of the present agreement. Butler urges a more complete understanding on certain points in the present agreement so that misunderstand-I ings will not arise in the future.
Favors New Definition
Striking at the very basis of the present rulings on amateur competition, Butler favors a new definition of amateurism for college football. He points out that the present amateur code is a development of English ideas of amateurism, “which have evolved from conditions that have prevailed at the older English universities where the enrollment is made up of scholars who do not have to earn a livelihood during the years they are engaged in study.”
Butler goes on to say that “student life and extra-curricular activities at a university like Oxford, for example, are so foreign to conditions which prevail in American universities that an ideal code of athletic practices for one is not adaptable to university life and general conditions at the other.”
Considers All Phases
In his report, which is made up of 48 pages printed in small type Butler considers conditions in each college in the conference with reference to entrance requirements, academic regulations, financial status of athletes, recruiting practices and eligibility. In each division he announces that alleged irregularities were cleared up be-

Hitler, Von Papen Plan To Form Coalition, Is Rumor
BERLIN, Jan. 5.—(U.E)—A joint conspiracy between Adolph Hitler, Fascist leader, and former Chancellor Franz von Papen, to overthrow the present government was presaged tonight by a series of secret conferences involving the former bitter political enemies.
Several usually moderate newspapers hinted that Hitler and von Papen had reached an agreement under which Hitler might accept a post in a von Papen ministry if they could succeed in ousting Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher.
The reports were vigorously denied by von Papen, however, who issued a statement this evening denying a plot against the von Schleicher cabinet. Von Papen asserted that the purpose of lis conversations with Hitler were to facilitate the formation of a na-
tional government which would include the Fascists.
The plot rumors grew out of meetings between leaders of divided factions in the Fascist party . Hitler’s meeting with von Papen was regarded as particularly significant, in view of the fact that he stoutly opposed von Papen when the latter was *chancel!or.
Meanwhile, it was indicated that Hitler might go so far as to Join a von Papen ministry. He has lost several followers and might agree, it was argued, to go in with the former chancellor chiefly as a defensive move.
Hitler possibly would accept even the ministry of defense portfolio under von Papen if and when a change in ministries occurs, it was believed.
