He said the “unquestionable source” of some of the lumber used was the National Lumber and Mill Work company in the Bronx, where forest service, at Madison, Wis. and @ recognized federal authority on wood identification, refused to disclose how he had determined the lumber came from the Bronx company, saying that would be evidence in the case.

Hopkins, speaking before 500 dele- gates attending the 1934 mobilization for human needs conference, echoed a statement from President Roosevelt earlier in the day that only after mu- unicipal and state resources had been exhausted should the federal govern- ment “add its resource to the common cause.” The relief administrator told the gathering of social workers and civic leaders, called to draft plans for pri- vate relief campaigns next November, that he was “tired of hearing alibies.” “I’m thoroughly fed up on states and cities passing the buck to us,” he said. “I am beginning to think in some states we had better move right in again. “If you don’t give two whoops about them (persons needing relief)—as I am beginning to believe there are some who don't why should we sit up nights in Washington worrying about them?” Hopkins said he realized some states had done “more tha ntheir share,” but said he was “tired of arguing with governors” of others. “The sense of public service in some parts of this country is mightly low.” Asked by newspapermen if his phrase “move right in again,” meant that the government should admin- “No, I meant withhold relief.” — FEAR FOR SAFETY OF MINOT INVALID spread Search at Minot; May Have Drowned Hn! fa REORGANIZATION OF NRA UNDERWAY WITH RIGHBERG CHAIRMAN Administration Launches Au- tumn Attack on Recovery With Quickened Tempo MOVES TO EASE CREDIT Wallace Answers Critics of ‘Government in Busin in Magazine Article Washington, Sept. 28.—(#)—The Roosevelt administration, in a swift quickening of tempo, has started the autumn attack on recovery problems with several major moves. Paramount among them is the President's action in placing control of NRA policy in the hands of aides generally regarded as among the more liberal leaders in the govern- ment. With the president back in the White House after summer days, sig- nificant events crowded thick and fast. Among them were these: 1. Donald R. Richberg, whose dif- ference of opinion with Hugh 8. Johnson attracted wide attention, emerged as the top man in the indus- trial recovery drive. To a reorganized industrial emergency committee of six, which Richberg heads, President Roosevelt Thursday night gav: the task of laying down policies for a revamped NRA. 2, One-man rule of NRA, {rom which Administrator Johnson has re- signed, passed definitely out of the Picture when Mr. Roosevelt seiected @ board consisting of two industrial- ists, two labor experts and a college professor to administer the Blue Eagle unit under ditection from the! White House. Hits ‘Gossip Mongers’ 3. President Roosevelt struck at “gossip mongers” who would “create fear or encourage panic.” In a radio speech “Thursday night, he cited a “Wall Street” rumor, which he brand- ed as “wholly untrue,” that Secretar- 4 Wallace, Perkins and Morgen- thau, with Rexford G. Tugwell, un- dersecretary of agriculture, were to retire immediately. 4. The federal reserve board—in setting a sliding scale of between 25) and 45 per cent for stock market margi's ano establishing somewhat flexible rules for handling accounts was believed to be aiming at a mtid- erate course that would not unsett!e the market. 5. New moves to increase the flow of credit were under way. The RFC decided to buy preferred stock and capital notes of trust companies spe- cializing in mortgage loans, and to encourage the creation of new trust companies that would put money out ope ie nent for more 8] ni applications for industrial loans was outlined by Sec- retary Morgenthau to chairmen of the industrial advisory committees of the 12 federal reserve banks.

Besides drafting NRA policies, the committee was directed to make rec- ommendations to the president on problems of relief, public works, labor Gisputes and industrial recovery. The administrative agency, to be known as the national industrial re- covery board, comprises: Clay Williams, tobacco manufac- turer of Winston-Salem, (North Car- olin) chairman of Secretary Roper’s business advisory and plan- ning council and former member of the NRA industrial advisory board.

MACHINE POLITICS. PLAYED BY MOODIE ~ IN WASHBURN TALK Democratic Candidate Quotes From Langer’s Book of 1920 to Prove Point Addressing an audience that filled the community hall at Washburn Thursday night, Democratic candi- | dates for state office flayed the Lan- ger political machine. Thomas Moodie, candidate for gov- ernor, declared North Dakota does not need political machines financed from stat# funds with taxpayers’ money. He declared if elected he will end the 5 per cent racket “no matter by whom it was conceived or by whom it is at- | tempted to be carried out.” | “We have long fought machine poli- tics in North Dakota,” said Moodie. “Fourteen years ago in our own state appeared an embryo political economist who mercilessly indicted machine politics. He was William Langer. In his book ‘The Nonpar- tisan League, Its Birth, Activities and Leaders’ he said: “Unless the people wake up soon they will fasten upon themselves a times worse than the old gang ever was, and which they will spend mil- lions of dollars to get rid of, for today, when an election rolls around, what a force of workers they have! As @ matter of fact they organize the year around at the expense of the taxpay- ers, The farmer thinks he runs the machine—he doesn’t. The machine is running him. What a hydra-headed, snaky monster it is.’” “With this shining political Sir Galahad of 1920,” said Moodie, “I am in full and complete accord, but when I look at the record I am re- minded of the title of a song Mae Irwin sang back in the old coon shouting days: ‘Ain't It Funny What a Difference Just a Few Years Makes.’” Discussing water conservation, Moo- die predicted that in 100 years North Dakota's two largest cities will be at Williston and in the Bismarck-Man- dan metropolitan center. He detailed his ideas of a land use program and declared his belief that “the fact 70 per cent of North Dakota's people are compelled to live upon a poverty level is behind most of the state’s trou- bles.” John Moses, candidate for attorney general, and John Jungers, candidate for insurance commissioner, were other speakers. Moses defended the New Deal and vigorously declared for clean government in North Dakota. Jungers flayed Langerism. U. N. D.

Jones, University of| North Dakota, Grand Forks, had been | designated to take the entrance ex- amination with a view to admission to West Point on July ‘1, 1935.

Representative Patman, Texas Democrat, told reporters he planned to start a new drive for immediate cash payment of the bonus at the na- tional encampment of the veterans of foreign wars in Louisville, Ken- tucky, Monday. But at American Legion headquar- ters, officials disclosed only five of their 48 state departments had voted to ask congress to cash the bonus. Virtually every department, however, was shown to favor cancel- ling interest charges on loans already made to veterans against their bonus certificates. Patman estimated it would take $2,200,000,000 to pay the bonus now. “Distribution of the bonus now would help the country tremen- dously,” Patman declared. “Cancel- lation of interest charges on bonus loans would help the veterans, of course, but it would not help the country as a whole until 1945.” Stee Describes FERA Expenditures in N.
