WALKER COMPLETES DEFENSE; ATTACKED BY ANOTHER PARTY Latest Criticism Comes From Committe of National Re- publican Club New York, April 20.—(#)—Mayor Walker's defense of his administra- tion was ready for delivery to Gover- nor Roosevelt Monday, but scarcely had it been finished than he found himself subjected to attack from a new quarter. ~ The latest criticism came from the city affairs committee of the National Republican club, which vharged “breakdown and demoralization of the city government.” The first bill of complaint filed with the governor— that to which the mayor has drawn up his reply—originated with the city affairs committee, a group which has no relation to the Republican club despite a similarity in names. Both call upon the governor to remove the mayor from office. The report of the committee of the Republican club attacks the mayor in his private life as well as in his of- ficial position. “There have been two troubles with Mayor Walker,” the re- port reads, “in the first place he has, as the world knows, given little time or attention to his job. “He has joked, junketed to race tracks, sat up all night at wild par- ties, entertained Hollywood and ig- nored the city’s problems. We have go concern with, Mayor Walkcr’s pri- vate escapades except in so far as they interfere with his public duties.

Hobart Cites Unem- ployment as Reason and Scores Communism i Washington, April 20.—)}—The daughters of the American revolution were welcomed to the capital for their annual congress Monday by Mrs, Herbert Hoover. The first lady expressed to the daughters her wishes for a successful session and regret that she would be unable to be with them long. Mrs. Lowell F. Hobart, president general of the organization, a little later advocated that the American navy be built up to the limit of the London naval treaty, stressed the perils of unemployment. and urged a definite program to “unite the people of this nation for Americanism.” Stressing perils of unemployment, Mrs, Hobart asked for a definite pro- gram in the United States to “unite the people of this nation for Amer- icanism.” She called attention to the Russian government's five-year plan; lauded the army and navy as “peace institutions,” and urged enlistment of youth in patriotic movements. “You have all experienced dis- agreeable events in your separate states, based upon the leadership of communists who have come to this country to make it another Soviet Russia,” Mrs. Hobart said. “Taking advantage of unemploy- ment, they have reaped rich rewards in membership and in stirring the minds of sympathizers toward ha- tred of the United States government and opposition to those who own or manage business.” As some things showing “the trend of the times” which should cause “as- tonishment,” Mrs. Hobart listed “gains Atheists are making in their attempts to de-christianize Christ- mas and Easter;” “the grasp com- munism is getting at election booths, in open-air meetings, in front of fac- tories, in book stores, in schoolrooms, on the streets”; and “the daring of Socialists in organizing clubs in 158 or more colleges, in allowing their national representatives to ride down the streets in processions in which red flags were used, in campaigns against military training in the} Duke of schools.” Urging listeners to do all possible “to generate a public opinion which will hasten the coming of the Balm of Gilead,” she said of unemployment: “We dare not toss this question aside, . . . upon lack of work is kuilt dissatisfaction. With dissatis- faction comes turmoil and strife. In the wake of strife comes violence. Violence unseats stable government. + . . communists leave no gap un- touched by their technique.” NAME Y GROUP HEADS of jewelry estimated to!
