onemaces = 3 QUALIFICATIONS OF HOOVER -ROOSEVELT CAUSE OF ARGUMENT Present Policy of Political Lead- | ers Is to Condemn Oppos- ing Candidate STRONG WORDS ARE USED ‘Hoover Incompetent’ Say Dem- ocrats; ‘Roosevelt Ignor- ant’ Is Retort Washington, Aug. 5.—(#)—Which may predominate in the end, person- alities and issues now seem certain to mix freely in the coming presiden- tial campaign as the qualifications of Franklin D. Roosevelt are weighed} against those of Herbert Hoover. Although the electioneering has only begun, the capabilities of both! nominees already have been called into question by ranking opposition spokesmen. During the last week the | Democratic chairman, James A. Far- ley, in a radio speech, directly ae-| cused Hoover of incompetence and in- efficiency. A group of Republican| leaders, in a broadside of statements, charged Roosevelt with deceit, ignor- ance, and unsound thinking. These are unusual words. They serve to center public attention to an! exceptional degree on the candidates / themselves and on their public rec-j ords. Such an end has been hoped| for by many political theorists who} believe that men, rather than mea- sures, should decide elections; and shunned by others who hold that pub-| lic questions should be settled by the | People at the polls, rather than left to elected officials. It obviously is a part of the Demo- cratic strategy to link the continuance of the depression directly with the Hoover administration, and summon the public to vote “against Hoover.” No less it is apparent that Republi- cans are seeking to present Governor Roosevelt as weak, uninformed and unsafe, and ask for a verdict “against Roosevelt.” Trend May Change Coming events may change the whole course of the discussion. Dur- ing next weex Hoover will deliver his speech of acceptance, and soon after- ward Roosevelt will’ begin dealing with various issues in greater detail. If constructive programs are present- ed on either side the case may be- come entirely different. Certainly a surge of debate on the one issue of prohibition, without much reference to personalities, will foliow | Weather Report j @ FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair tonight and Sat- urday; temperature.

Certainly, too, Roosevelt's decision in the case of Mayor Walker of New York will start a dispute which may or may not cen- ter on the personal equation. The bonus incident likewise re- mains an unknown quantity. Various individual Democrats have condemn- ed the president's use of troops, but neither the Democratic nominee nor} his organization has joined in. Gov- ernor Roosevelt's close friends expect him to continue his silence. ! With the east more and more the center of activity, the Republican campaign managers held a war coun- | cil in New York and delegated Sena- ; tor Felix Hebert of Rhode Island to have charge of headquarters there. Roosevelt conferred with John J. Ras- kob, to whom the Democratic party owes a great deal of money, about campaign financing. Raskob, leaving Albany, was willing to say just five words: “I am out of politics And even the Roosevelt-Raskob | vate of some 50,000 spectators which meeting ended with an echo of the personal when Vincent Astor, also! ym, present, issued a statement saying it/records were broken by the contest- was “stupid” to call Roosevelt “an} ant, irresponsible radical.” i j opening spectacular events. jming, boxing and equestrian events jhave been practically sold out, but MAKE TRADE SHIFT Statement Says Desires of Peo- ple Cannot Be Controlled By Legislation Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 5.—\)—The Ca- nadian consumer was pointed outi difficulty in the way of the proposed shift of between $100,000,000 and $200,000,000 worth of Canadian trade} jfrom the United States to Great Britain. (A report published by the Toronto! Mail and Empire saying the United States and Great Britain agreed to hold a trade conference following tine | 1Ottawa parley was denied by the state department at Washington). ‘The Canadian trade proposal was announced Thursday in an official) communique of the imperial trade| conference which said the Canadian government had made specific free trade and additional preferential tar- iff offers to the British delegation, asking equal advantages for Canadian trade in Great Britain. The statement was amended later, however, to modify the sums stipulat ed by bringing out the fact that, while trade agreements involving such sums might be negotiated, the jconsumer demand could not be legis- lated into line. The amended statement empha- |sized’ that the conference does not ‘claim the government could pick up! ‘any amount of business from one |place and arbitrarily set it down in {another. All it can do, it pointed out. is recommend. If the consumer demand reacts t+ the cheaper commodity, empire pro- |ducers might expect to increase thei> business at the expense of foreign jecmpetitors, provided they are equipped to supply the market. , Data Is Iiuminating In that respect commercial data on |the six industrial groups mentioned lin connection with the Canadian of- fer were considered illuminating. | The United States sold Canada} $81,000,000 of the $99,000.00¢ worth of! iron products imported during the 12 onths ending March, 1932, compared th $13,000,000 by Great Britain. In that category were imports of American iron ore valued a $1,200,000 against total purchases worth $1,600,- 000; scrap iron and steel $430,000 against $442,000; castings and fittings $1,600,000; tubes, pipes and fittings $1,200,000 against $1,600,000; engines and boilers, $6,700,000 against $7,200; farm implements and machinery $3,- 000,000 against $3,300,000; hardware and cutlery, $1,300,000 against $2,- 400,000; machinery other than agri- cultural, $21,000,000 against $24,000,- 000; vehicles, $18,500,000 against $19,- i | 000. American industry supplied $3,- 000,000 worth of glass and glassware, valued at $6,000,000, compared witi. $670,139 by British; $20,000,000 worth of chemicals and allied products val- ued at $1,000,000 against $4,000,000; and $12,000,009 worth of electrical apparatus, compared with $1,000.006 by the United Kingdom. Because of the possible effect on current imports it was said informa- tion of the British decisions probably would be vague until the government cf each country begins shaping its budget for the next fiscal year.

It was a thrilling sight at the Sun- day games to witness what is called an Olympiad victory. As winners in the finals are announced, the spec- tators rise and face the glowing torch at one end of the stadium. Flags of the successful contestants rise upon three flagpoles, as the band plays the national air of the victors. Americans Score The first final to be announced was the shot put, in which the U. 8. won first and second. Again in the high jump the U. S. won second. Feature Race The sun cast a long shadow down the stadium field and a cool breeze Swept across the track as the 10,000- meter race began. This event in which Nurmi, barred for profession- alism, had been picked as probable ner, is one of the high points in every Olympiad. Nurmi watched the event from the grandstand, just an: other spectator, while two of his brother Finns strived but failed to win this event again for Finland. Beating all Olympic records, Kusoc- inski, the Poland runner, looked as fresh at the finish as when he start- ed the 25 lap bunion derby. He caper- ed across the field in high spirits to be “shot” by the movie fans before seeking the showers.

Olympic officials insist on quiet and blasts from the great amplifiers stifle any attempts to ruf- fle the entrants. No athletic con- tests probably are conducted upon a higher plane than these and the kind of sportsmanship shown by contest- ants to’one another is a real inspira- tion and adds so much to the enjoy- ment of the spectators. It is not un- usual to see an athlete approach his rival before he starts in a high jump or other feat and encourage him and slap him on the back, then jump in glee when the man has made a good. showing.

Jack L, Warner, vice president of the studios, who made the announce- ment, did not make public the extent of the reductions. Salary cuts were recently ordered by other Hollywood studios, the re- ductions amounting to from 15 to 45 per cent. Among the higher salaried players who will be affected are Ruth Chat- terton and William Powell, each of whom are reported to receive $7,500 weekly, and Barbara Stanwyck, reputedly a $5,000 a week actress. C clock and kept the lead for nearly every lap of this great Olympic en- durance test. toe # ‘Babe’ from Texas Graceful as young gazelles were the women javelin throwers. “Babe” Didrikson, one of the first throwers to compete, broke the world’s record. She hails from Texas, where there is plenty of room for javelin practice. She told the press her hand slipped and a coach supplied the informa- tion that had this not happened, the Javelin would have gone 155 to 160 feet instead of hitting at the new world record of 143 feet 4 inches. Germany has held a corner on this number in the past. As a classic event one searched the program to find a Greek entered in the javelin lists. Evidently ladies are not taught to hurl javelins in Greece. U. 8. had three entries, Japan two, Germany three, Mexico and Poland one each. eR U. S. did not make a good showing in long distance running. This is a type of sport more highly developed upon the European continent. Ger- mans, Poles and Finns seem to excel in this sport. Brazil entered a large heavy man who started off at a steady pace when the gun released the runners. He never hurried but kept doggedly on for the 25 laps, finishing after every runner had left the track and the sun was well down ever the horizon, but he got great applause for his grit. None of the nations contending left the race be- fore the finish. The losers were at least two or three laps behind the winners showing how the three or four high men outclassed the general run of entrants. Why Not a Hopi? There was much discussion why the U. S. did not enter one of the famous Hopi Indians in these long distance runs. Rumor has it that some Hopi Indians run 10 or 15 miles to work and know the art of fast, steady, long distance running. A Los Angeles newspaper printed 2 story, (believe it or not), of a Hopi Indian NUE 0 one D Former Singer Is Under Indictment In Husband’s Death trust for him because he was a minor, is expected to aggregate $15,- 000,000. Through her father, Libby recently asked Smith's uncle to serve as executor. Libby and Walker, who was at “Reynolds,” the Reynolds estate, the night of the shooting, were principal witnesses at the inquest. The young widow testified her hus- band had often threatened suicide. Walker said a few minutes before Smith went to an upstairs sleeping porch he tossed him his pocketbook with the remark, “I’m going to end it all.” On the night of July 5 the Reynolds entertained at a birthday dinner in honor of a friend. A few friends were there, including several socially prom- inent Winston-Salem young people. Reynolds was shot shortly after 1 a. m., it was testified. Rushed to a hospital, he died there at 5:25 a. m. Testimony of two nurses concerned actions of Walker and Libby at ‘the hospital, where Mrs. Reynolds was placed in a room while her husband was dying. Ethel Shore, night supervisor of the hospital, and Ruby Jenkins, a nurse, said Walker entered the room and they left. Hearing “a commotion.” they said, they entered and found Libby and Walker on the floor together, strug- gling to get uv. Miss Jones said she heard Ab tell Libby to say nothing of the shooting. Cries ‘My Baby’ Libby cried, she testified, “Oh, my baby. my baby.” “What do you mean?” the nurse sald Walker asked. “Don’t you know I’m going to have a baby?” she said was Mrs. Reynolds’ reply. In pointing out what he said was who runs 20 miles to work each day and returns home at the same gait. Told of the Olympic 10,000-meter race, he said it was too short a run for him. Nothing less than 20 miles interested the Hopi. * * Experts following the events of the 10th Olympiad except old records to 10th Olympiad expect old records to marks in the first trials is no ordi- nary achievement.

Other witnesses said the pistol was found on the floor in plain view four hours later. The bullet that killed the heir has never been found. Its course was downward through his head, from right to left. A hole was located in a sereen six feet from the floor. Scott said it would have been impossible for Reynolds to have fired the bullet which ranged downward. Walker admitted having said, “whatever happens, .there’s some secret about this matter that I’m go- ing to take to my grave” but then testified he knew no such secret. Smith had expressed a fear to*him, | he said, that he was going insane, Libby testified the young sportsman was often despondent and threatened to kill himself. He expressed a fear of losing her love, she said, and was worried by a lapse of virility. ‘The husky-voiced blues singer sobbed to a jury that she had no rec- oliection of events preceding the tragedy but that just before the shooting she saw her husband stand- ing by her bed, calling her name, a make it and crossed the finish line fourth.
