R. WITH ‘SHADOW BOXING’ Hampton Beach, N. H., Aug. 27.— (®)—Col. Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential nominee, Thursday charged President Roosevelt with “shadow-boxing” in the president's attack on “economic royalists.” Knox devoted a speech prepared for delivery at the Rockingham County Republican club's annual outing on the ocean beach here, to replying to the president's acceptance aadress in|} Philadelphia. Asking “who are these .economic | 3 royalists?” Knox called them “imag- inary,” and said that the president, in the acceptance address, “walloped a straw man” while ignoring “money, credit, budgets, agriculture, industry, trade, labor, relief and recovery.” ‘Slaughter Big Bad Wolf’ “With 18 million people on relief” Knox said, “he offers to go out and Slaughter a big bad wolf, if he can only find the wolf.” Knox asserted that the administra- tion’s major policies are “in ruins,” and its future plans “an absolute blank.” “That is why I. have emphasized! this business of economic royalists,” he said. “When the responsibie head of our government offers, as the remedy for grave national ill, to go out and save the people from non-existant and un- identified figments of the economic imagination, the planlessness and the inadequacy are exposed.” Knox, commenting on the presi- dent's phrase about the rise of an industrial “new despotism,” asserted New Deal legislation better merited the charge made against the “royal- ists.” Peace ‘Conversations’ Denied by President Aboard Roosevelt Train En Route to Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 27.—(P)— Published reports that President Roosevelt contemplated a world peace and disarmament conference in the event of his re-election met Thursday with Secretary Wallace's statement that he had been authorized to say the government had not had any “conversations” aimed at bringing about such @ meeting. Referring Wednesday night to the New York reports that the president considered proposing a peace, conclave to bring together major power rulers, the secretary of agriculture declared the president told him that while he could not deny a story he had not seen, from what he had heard of it there had been no such conversations of any sort.

Her husband, a railroad switchman, was held for investigation. He denied ‘any connection with the shooting. They were estranged. Undersheriff J. W. Nepson said he was told the John Sterham family heard shots fired in their neighbor- hood and found the body of Mrs. Bauer lying across the street from the Sterham home.
