> HOOVER PLEDGES HELD FULFILLED G. 0. P. Committee Cites Record of Achievements of Administration. The record of President Hoover as a keeper of party promises has been equaled by few recent administrations, according to & summary of adminis- tration accomplishments computed by the Republican National Committee. The summary, which lists in parallel columns the party campaign pledges and what the committee considers to be the accomplishments of the admin- istration, was made public at Repub- lican headquarters today. Recalling the President's statement: “Platform promises must not be empty gestures,” the compilation said a re- duction of income taxes of $160,000,000 for 1930 at Mr. Hoover's recommenda- tion was evidence that the party pledge to reduce the “tax burden” wherever possible was being carried out. Tariff Revision Promised. Almost every plank in the platform | was dealt with in similar fashion. The statement said the promise of a neces- sary revision of the tariff had been fulfilled and that the ne wact had given substantial aid to agriculture. Emphasis was placed on the provision enabling the Chief Executive to increase or decrease duties 50 per cent where necessary and on the reorganization of the Tarift Commission. The committee said the four specific promises to agriculture in the Kansas City platform had been accomplished | by the creation of the Federal Farm Board, increased tariff protection on #arm commodities, improvement ot in- {and waterways and added Federal sup- port of highways. ‘The pledge for enforcement of the eighteenth amendment was said to have DEMOCRATS TORN BUT FIGHTING HARD IN MASSACHUSETTS | *__(Continued Prom Fint Page) per cent.

He was | dry enough at that time. This fact is | being used against him now. O'Con- nell had planned to make a real drive agamnst Coolidge in the remaninder of | the primary campaign on this ques- | tion, and to ring the changes on the | fact that Coolidge was opposed to the | nomination of Al Smith. an idol of the Massachusetts Democrats in 1924, and was for McAdoo. To complicate the Democratic situa- tion still further, Daniel H. Coakley of Boston, Democrat, hes filed as an in- | dependent candidate for the Senate. | He does not, of course, figure in the | primary struggle, but unless he with- | draws he may take votes away from the | Democratic nominee next November | and thereby aid the Republican candi- Aate for the Senate. Coakley announced some time ago that he would not make the race as an independent, but would withdraw if Senator David I Walsh | would name & slate, including nominees for Senator and Governor, &nd the | Democrats would get behind that siate. Senator Walsh, however, has no inten- | tion of becoming mixed up in the party | rows, certainly not openly, although he probably has his preferences among the candidates. He has said nothing. | Coakley seems to be in the race to stay. | Coakley was a candidate for mayor of Boston a year ago against Mayor Cur- ley, really for the purpore of defeat- ing Curley and putting Mansfeld in office rather than himsel’, He is an active campaigner and & bitter one.

Fitsgerald of THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C, FRIDAY, AUGU PRESIDENT'S SONS TAKE T0 AIRPLANES First Lady Rises Early to See Younger Son Off for California. In their occasional aerisl trips from coast to coast, Herbert Hoover, jr., and Allan Hoover, sons of the President, are causing changes in the usual ordered routine of the White House. Since Herbert became *a business executive he uses an airplane more fre- quently in his trips between California and Washington. Now Allan, too, has taken up flight. He recently went to California by plane. Train schedules are more conveniently arranged for housesolds, and Mrs, Hoover, who wish- ed to see her young son off, arose be- fore daybreak to accompany him to the fleld. Only a few milk wagons were astir as the shining White House car glided down the cement drive. The younger son of the President had two causes for elation. It was his first long: journey by air and it marked his release from the factory grind in New Jersey, where he had been working as part of his training in the Harvard School of Business. Prior to the trip, Allan enjoyed & few days with his parents at the Presi- dent's camp on the Rapidan. There he hiked, rode horseback or pitched horse- shoes. Now he is rounding out the Summer with a vacation among old Stanford friends. Business brings Herbert Hoover, jr., to Washington more frequently than ever since he became president of the Aeronautical Radio Co. Washington soclety sees little of him, however. He is too busy holding conferences with aviation and radio officials. A lover of the outdoors herself, Mrs. Hoover apparently takes kindly to the air-mindedness of her two sons. Her visits with them fo the flying flelds are interspersed with trips to Girl Scout camps. Sometimes she stays overnight and sleeps in a tent.

They will disperse Saturday. each one prepared to deal with the situation in her own State. Since fresh foods play so great a part in prevention of pellagra, their general orders will be to promote the growing of beans, greens and in some warmer sections tomatoes. Greatest stress will be laid on grow- ing the greens—food for the cow that must be encouraged to furnish milk and for the hen that must be induced to lay eggs, as well as for the family.

By the Associated Press. With two Army planes pressed into | service to expedite traveling time be- | tween the Capital and the Mississippi Valley, Secretary of War Hurley today launched his study of Mississippi River projects, including inland waterways, river and harbors enterprises and flood control works. During the next three weeks the Sec- retary will traverse a 3,000-mile route, which will take him from Washington to Minneapolis by e down the Mississi) er by airplane and boat and return to Washington in time to keep an engagement in the Capital September 19. The departure was set for noon today. ‘The party will Include Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief of Army Engineer: and Thomas Q.

President Hoover, the statement read, had taken the national leldershiT in arousing the country against lawless- ness and had appointed the National Law Enforcement Commission to make an exhaustive examination of the situa- m. ‘The summary further cited the fact that the public debt had been re- duced by sn additional $1.160,000,000 since the beginning of the Hoover ad- ministration; that through shifts in di- rections of expenditures the research work of the Bureau of Mines “has been materially extended”; that with a view to furnishing more effective railroad service at lowest rates consistent with proper maintenance and operation, the terstate Commerce Commission, at the suggestion of the President, s led up its work on a tentative plan of railroad consolidation, which has been nted to Congress, and that tariff revisions have been effected so as to maintain high wage scales in industry, and in addition the administration at the inception of the depression induced industrialists to agree not to disturb the level of wages, MACNIDER PRESENTS HIS CREDENTIALS Is Formally Received as United States Minister to Canada at Ottawa.

Against him are running Joseph B. Ely of Westfleld and John J. Cummings. Believing that Pitzgerald, if he were nominated for Governor, would have little or no chance to win, many of tae Democrats | have sought to bring Fitzgerald to re- tire. But he has stuck and now it is too late for him to retire, if he would. He seems to be strong enough to win | the nomination, although Ely has con- siderable backing lnd':vfld be a sat- leaders. The charge has been against Ely, however, that he is an attorney for the power interests and for' other interests supposed to be inimical to the people, spelled with a big P.

Allen, by the way, although a Republican and a dry, has many friends among the Democrats, and some of them have been saying kind things about him and his administration re- cently, among them are Mayor Curley himself and Cardinal O'Connell. The Governor, it is said, has more or less played Mr. Curley’s game for him dur- ing the last year, helping fo bring about the repeal of a law which has com- pelled appointees of the mayor of Bos- ton to be approved by the State Civil Service Commission. Coolidge Appears Bost Bet. At the present writing it looks as though Marcus A. Coolidge is the best bet for the Democratic senatorial nomi- nation and John F. Pitzgerald has the edge for gubernatorial nomination. This, in effect, would bring about a “balanced” ticket, with one out-State Democrat and one Boston Democrat holding the principal places on the ticket. Also, it would provide for one “Yankee” and one “Irish-American” in leading places on the ticket. There has been an effort among the Democrats to get away from the so-called “all green” ticket, meaning a #cket headed by Irish-Americans alone. Mr. Coolidge is & man of wealth, a manufacturer and & business man. He has not sought high office before, al- though he has been interested in poli- tics for & number of years. The Demo- crats believe that if he is nominated he can defeat the Republican nominee, whoever he may be.

Authorities believed Pish killed his kin and then ended his own life. Inability to find work and worry over failure to sell his home to raise needed funds was thought by police to have made Pish temporarily insane. 1004 duate k Medieal Glasses Fittea oliege Byos Examined DR.

Sentiment in Massachusetts appears to be sf ly wet, however, and the referendum this Fall is on the question of the repeal of the State enforcemeni act. Two years ago the State went “wet” by some 284,000 votes in a referendum on the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment. Gov. Allen’s declaration in the face of that vote gave the Democrats high ehe?e. ndeed, a few months ago, the stage seemed well set in Massachusetts for Democratic victories all along the line, gubernatorial, senatorial and congres- sional.
