tA—2 *% BROWN T0 REFUSE - VICE PRESIDENCY Postmaster General Spikes Rumors From South That He Will Seek 1932 Nomination. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. The name of Postmaster General Walter F. Brown, may be definitely and permanently eliminated from further speculation in connection with the Re- publican vice-presidential nomination in 1932, Despite rumors to the contrary, which have origicated with a group of Re- publicans in the South, Mr. Brown has no vice-presidential aspirations, and, sccording to his ‘own word, nothing fould induce him to become a candi- gate. % Mr. Brown's denial of these rumors, Fhich during the past few days have been gaining wide circulation, is un- uivocal and positive.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Au- gust 6.—Something sensational almost “didn’t happen” here yesterday. An audience compesed largely of Vir- ginians at the open forum meeting of the Institute of Public Affairs heard State Senator C. O'Connor Goolrick of Fredericksburg blame prohibition for everything from immorality of college students to the woes of the farmers and urge that the Democratic party not al- low Republican leaders such as Dwight | Morrow to jockey it into champlonship | of the dry cause. When he finished he was enthusias- tically applauded. Maj. Leroy Hodges, director of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, who presided, called for some reply from the audience. Nobody responded. With a look of astonishmeny on his face Maj Hodges turned Goolrick and said: “Senator, you've cleaned ‘em up.” Timid Little Lady Arises. It seemed almost unbelievable that a representative assembly in Virginia, stronghold of the dry law, could have become unanimously wet. Maj. Hodges was about to dismiss the meeting, after quoting some recent statistics on the crime situation in Virginia under the | dry law, when a timid little lady arose | from the audience, hesitatingly chal- ienged about everything the Senator had said, and wanted to know if the dry cause had fallen so low Vir- ginia that there was no man to defend it. That aroused the chivalry of Dr. Dice R. Anderson, president of Ran- doiph Macon Women's College, Who launched into an eloquent defense of | the eighteenth amendment. If it hadn't been for the mysterious little lady—she told the open forum she wanted to remain an “unknown"—it was generally agreed that the silence of the audience would have been ac- o some idly in carrying- out the Presi- ?::Lng dezpmssed desires in this con- Msbz‘n::e“ did he succeed that these discredited leaders, growing thin and weary as a result of being so far re- moved from the administration’s pie counter, are now making & desperate effort to get their hands once more on the patronage in their sections. The first movesin their renewed fight was to aim their attack on the Post- cepted as indicating a remarkable change in public sentiment. Maj. Hodges told the audience that commitments to the State penitentiary have increased from 500 in 1918 to 1,200 in 1929, and commitments to jail from 2,200 to 4,400. The cost of crime to the State, he said, has more than doubled in 11 years and he declared the most alarming feature is the in- creasing youth of criminals, one-third | of them now being 21 or younger. master General. It was plain to them not an inch .of ground could be d in this drive until the man who ally pushed them aside and turned over the matter of passing on patronage to others more acceptable to the administration, had been ‘brought to his knees. To accomplish this, it was decided that he first must be dis- Tredited. ‘That would be the way to get him out of the cabinet or at least cause him to make overtures to them which would end in something resem- bling a surrender. At least they might get somewhere within reach of the pie counter, if not right at the table itself. Then started the circulation of re- ports intended to injure Postmaster General Brown. First, it was charged that €ome of the so-called estimable lo- ral citizens, which whom he was deal- ing in the matter of post office appoint- ments, were indulging in the old pa- tronage trafficing pastime. ‘These charges were investigated and found to be baseless, Then started the stories about Mr. Brown's dream of becoming the running mate of Herbert Hoover in 1032; that with this object in view he was using his control of Southern tronage in building-up a machine for mmnfl and, of course, Mr. Hoover, t0o, in the South. Led by Col. Mann. This charge against Mr. Brown soon -wide circulation, dur- the t week, when a group of the Republicans met in Savannah, Ga., for the ostensible purpose of creating & real “leadership” and to bring about party “unity.” The spokesman for this group has been Col. Horace H. Mann, Who was active during the campaign of 1928 in espousing the cause of Mr. Hoover in the Southern States. For Teasons which can only be explained definitely by either President Hoover or Col. Mann, the latter has never been included in the recognized administra- Sion group since Mr. Hoover’s election. suwe draw the inference from the meeting of this group and the tone of their publicity that they are endeavor- ing to engineer a revolt among the so- called Hoovercrats in the South. How- ever, no one associated with the ad- ministration or the management of the National Republican Committee ap- pears to be in the slightest concerned. Virtually no serious attention is being paid to the alleged movement. Possibly Postmaster General Brown, who ranks as one of the few men in- timately associated with President Hoo- ver who has a political mind and who has had practical political experience, would not have paid the slightest at- tention to the charges and claims of this group but for the wide circulation given the reports associating his name with the Vice Presidency. But for the fact that the reaction to this report might become embar- Declares Students Drink Less. , Referring to the recent drinking furore involving University of Virginia fraternities, Dr. Anderson said the stu- dents did not drink as much today when he was a student here 25 years ago and that the wets are making too much’ capital out of the alleged de- terioration of_youth, Representdtive government is on the defensive, Frank O. Lowden, former Gov. of Illinois, told the institute last night. It is necessary, he said, to apply the laboratory methods of science to the problems of government rather than trust any longer to the stock-in- trade generalities of the politician. “Is :t too much to hcpe,” he asked, “that when men shall have perfected their human relationships so as to bring them up to the accomplishments of the material sciences, poverty can be abolished from the world?” . “One of the most notable results of science in the industrial fleld,” he con- tinued, “is mass production. It doubt- less has cheapened the cost of manu- facture. But, paradoxical as it may seem, while mass production has cheap- ened the cost of many commodities it has increased the cost of living. It has had the effect of bringing many articles down from the region of luxury to that of necessity in any practical scheme of living. This has changed the whole structure of society. It will not do to say that one can get along as well with- out an automobile now as 25 years ago. Society has been so transformed by the use of the automobile that anybody who does not one is marooned in the community in which he lives. Majority Not in Industry. “This is perhaps to the advantage of those engaged directly in the great in- dustries, but the great majority of our people are not to be found in industry. They are living on the farm or engaged in professions, or belong to the salaried class. For all these the machine age has increased the cost of living by con- verting luxuries into necessities without providing a similar increase in income. “Mass production has made it neces- sary to invent mass selling to dispose of the multiplying of industry. Mass sell- ing has created a new psychology among the people. The per capita income of our people has increased in recent years, but that increase has mot kept pace with the new wants created by mass selling. “Governments are more and more in- Victory by Default—But Appeal to “Chivalry™ Is Answered. teresting themselves in finding foreign outlets ‘m exportable goods.

C. Haun of Vanderbilt Uni- versity and Dean Dabney S. Lancaster of the University of Alabama. A spe- cific amendment to the Constitution, providing for religious instruction in the public schools, or for public school credit for instruction given by churches, was proposed by Prof. Haun. Favors Constitutional Amendment. “The framers of our ‘Constitution,” he said, “were not trying to rid the state of religion. Had our forefathers been able to foresee this age of non-re- ligion fostered in our schools, I feel sure they would have added some safeguards in that first amendment. Possibly it is not too late for us to add another amendment. If, as some of our prophets are saying, the future of America hinges on its ability to stem the tide of ma- terialism and non-religion, then I think we should set ourselves to the task of adding an amendment. “The framers were only trying to get rid of the church as a political institu- tion. Due to the prevailing interpreta- tion we have developed a certain sen- sitiveness in regard to the separation of church and state-created institutions which is continually setting up bar- riers to progress. Church and state do no need to be united in order to have a worship service, vacation Bible school, church social, or any other activity in the school building.” Two Clash on Open Shop. ‘There was a clash yesterday between John E. Edgerton, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, and Victor A. Olander of the American Federation of Labor. Presenting con- trasting viewpoints, both men declared that they were inspired by the spirit of Americanism and Christianity. “The open shop,” said Edgerton, “is the only policy that can bring lasting industrial prosperity. He warned against Communism, “moving about under many aliases.” He clalmed that Southern workers always will resent the intru- sion of outside organizers. Olander declared that when the true meaning of the term “open shop” is known the term becomes detestable and said that the War Labor Board, of which he was a member. and which’ was headed by the late Chief Justice Taft, refused unanimously to tolerate the system. By the Associated Py Defends Legislative Prerogative. Henry L. Shattuck of the Massachu- setts House of Representatives cau- tioned against weakening the legislative branch of governments in the present trend of centralization in the adminis- trative department. Reorganization of Staté governments such as he said have been wrought in Virginia and Massachusetts were praised by the speaker. He sald if the legisla- tive branch is involved in the adminis- tn%ll:a dg;ll‘ i‘t cannot give all the matters fore it the time an deserved. Sl However, he added, there is danger that in the process of reorganization the change may be carried too far and the legislative prerogative injured. “Let us see to nothing is done to weaken the legisla- ture as the great forum for the hearing of grievances and for the discussion and formulation of legislation. “Legislation is a highly speclalized calling,” he said, “we need more pro- fessionals and fewer amateurs.” Woman’s Party Officer Speaks. Among other forum speakers today was Mrs. B. 8.

His per- sonal viewpoint was that the reports, despite their lack of foundation, could do him no harm even though they ‘went unanswered. Refuses to Be Frightened. ‘While making s denial of the charges that he had his eye on the Vice Presi- dency and that he was engaged in an under-cover scheme to get the Southern delegates in line for himself, Mr. Brown stated with much emphasis that the administration had given no thought to delegates for 1932 in its handling of Southern patronage. He said that the administration is not scheming for Southern delegates and will not do so at any time in the future. He declared that the discredited group of Republicans in that section 8re greatly mistaken in their calcula- tions 1f they think that they can throw any fear into those who are intrusted with Mr. Hoover’s political fortunes by claiming that they will have the say whether or not Mr. Hoover himself may count on the Southern delegates for & renomination. In this connection Mr. Brown de- clared that if President Hoover's only chance for a renomination depended upon Southern delegates to the next Republican national convention, he had better give up all thought of another term right now. Mr. Brown said he personally could stand any attack the Republicans in that section desired to aim at him. He added that he had only done what the President asked him to do, and that was to rid the party in several Expected to S art Eastern Di- vision of National Women's Air Derby.

He doesn't know just where, tut it must be some place beyond the rim of Cubbage Hol- low, where he has lived his 80 years. * ‘The old man’s home-coming late yes- terday afternoon was not as joyous as he had pictured it, sitting in the hot stuffy confines of the Page County jail. ‘The doors of that jail closed on Uncle Jake on June 8, last, after he had walk- ed into the settlement and informed authorities that he, a few hours previ- ously, shot his 19-year-old grandson, K::d Cubbage, in defense of his own Found Not Guilty. Uncle Jake's story of self-defense made such strong impression on a jury of his fellow mountaineers, that yester- day afternoon they found him not guilty on the murder charge, The two days of the trial in the Page Ccunty Circuit Court here had wearied the old man, and when he tied his belon'lnsl into a bundle and set out on foot for his cabin in Cubbage Hollow, 15 miles south of Luray, he was glad to accept a lift of a neighbor driving home from the trial. Uncle Jake had supposed back in the jail some day he would return to his cabin in the mountains and live out his remaining years in peace. But when Uncle Jake arrived home at sunset yesterday, high on the slope of Grindstone Mountain, he found something strangely disquieting about the familiar scene. ‘When he stepped across the log. door- step of the cabin, he remembered it was beside that door-step his grandson had fallen, fatally wounded. ‘There, in the sun-scorched patch of rye that fringed Uncle Jake'’s yard, ‘the youth had lain, while inexperienced hands sought to stop the flow of blood from a woungd in his thigh.
