MRS, GARNER MAY | BET HONOR. POST Bhould Husband Become Speaker She Avers Question of Precedence Would End. B the Associated Press. . Upon the White House social calen- dar, its “dinner to the Vice Pres- fdent” and “dinner to the Speaker of the House” Mrs. John H. Garner of ‘Texas today gazed with a mild but unmistakable interest. ‘The thought struck her that if the November elections should bring a Dem- ocratic landslide, avalanching her hus- band into the Speaker’s chair, she might become the honored feminine figure in that “dinner to the Speaker of the #House” at the next social season. A E:rexy hypothetical situation, of course, it stil]l Mrs. Garner gave it some con- sideration. Mrs. Garner's gray eyes twinkled. “Right there,” said she, “would end the question of precedence. I've been too busy these 28 years as my hus- band'’s secretary to worry over the fine points of official or social distinctions. such as have been discussed, pro and con. in the so-called Gann-Longworth controversy.

Every Letter Is Answered. Up with the sun, Mrs. Gamner in- variably is busy at her secretarial work in Mr. Garncr's Capitol offices by 7 am., & full two hours before most of- fices in Capitol Hill are opened. Every letter that arrives is answered, or acknowledged, on the day it is re- celved. By noon, however, much of her work is cleared away, permitting the Jong afternoon rambles through Wash- ington parks which are Mrs. Garner's favorite diversions. At home in Unvalde, Tex., Mrs. Gar- ner says, shre and her husband lead a simple country life on a six-acre tract in the heart of the town. They have their own cows, chickens, gardens and ‘ruit, and Mrs. Garner usually fizu busy ‘:_‘: her gardening at sun-up. Her son, Wi his wife and little daughter, live next door. And she says she would not care to make any marked alterations in her schedule of living, even should she be- come the wife of the Speaker of the House.

WOODS CITES RELIEF PROGRAMS Holds Up Jobless Plans of 15 Large Cities as Models to Be Followed. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 28.—Programs to combat unemployment already un- dertaken by 15 large citles were held up yesterday as models for the rest of the country by Col. Arthur Woods, chalrman of the President's Emergency Committee, He urged other cities to study the programs already worked out by New York, Boston, Philadelphia,. Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pitts- burgh, Toledo, Salt Lake City, Flint, Mich.; St. Paul, Minn.; Seattle, Wash.; Milwaukee and Hartford, Conn., in the belief that they might find in one of them the plan that would best meet local conditions. The outstanding feature of the pro- grams he outlined was the principle that the unemployed man should be given a job instead of merely a loaf of bread. . ‘Woods Not Pessimistic. Col. Woods is not pessimistic about the outlook. He believes conditions are better now, taking the country as a whole, than they were in 1921, when he headed President Harding’s employ- ment commission. But in spots, condi- tions are worse, he believes. He consid- ers the Middle Western lake States, New York and Pennsylvania to be the hard- est hit. He said that figures furnished him in Washington showed an estimated 3,500,- 000 persons out of work. “We hope to shave that figure later, he said. C:l. Woods continued today to gather around him experts in various lines, many of whom helped him in his cam- paigns in 1921 and 1919. Two New Appointments. ‘Two new appointments to his com- mittee were announced—dJohn B. Bland- ford, jr., of Cincinnati, to .co-ordinate programs for relief undertaken by mu- hicipalities, and Edward L. Bernays, to handle publicity for the committee. Both men are serving without pay. ‘While Col. Woods was outlining his program of ccuntry-wide co-operation, the City of New York was busy putting its program into effect. Eight hundred men started to work tidying up the city’s parks, drawing their pay from funds raised by a local employment committee. As soon as funds are avail- able 2,000 more will be added. The pay is $3 a day. Charitable organizations also speeded their efforts. Figures obtained in the police poll of unemployed up to Saturday night were announced today as 15,164, but Com- missioner Mulrooney explained this did not represent the tital unemployed in the city by many thousands.

(Continued From First Page.) was warmly applauded when she took a place on the stage beside her husband. At the conclusion of his address the crowd surged forward to see its idol. The entrance to the hall was the sij nal for the band to strike up “The Side- walks of New York” and an ovation for ex-Gov. Smith. Former Gov. Flynn of Rhode Island, who presided, raised a roar of approval when he declared that he would not be happy “until Rhode Island has the opportunity to nominate again Alfred E. g;’ni’.h for President.” Ex-Gov. Sniith thanked the people of Rhode Island for their faith in him and said that the returns from the little State on elaction night two years ago had been like a “bright star in the dim_political horizon.” “Well, let's get at it.” said the for- mer presidential candidate, and the crowd laughed in anticipation of what was to come. “In the last campaign, President Hoover said—" He was interrupted by loud “boos” for the President. But Ex-Gov. Smith waved for silence, pleading that he had only a limited time on the radio hook- up. He continusd: “President Hoover said that platform pledges must not be empty gestures. We'll say something now about the Re- publican party’s performances.” Ex-Gov. Smith said the American Constitution had wisely provided for election of Congress midway through the administration of a President and his party, so that the people could ex- press approval or disapproval of the administration. “Don't let us Democrats fool our- selves,” said the former Governor. “The election of a Republican House of Rep- resentatives on November 4 will be con- strued as an indorsement of the Repub- lican administration in Washington. The election of a Democratic Congress will be construed as a rebuke to the administration. “Has the Republican administration lived up tc its platform pledges? We ask citizens of the country to look at the record and make the decision.

P. Photo. CONCERN IS FELT would not claim. But one issue the Republicans _took _complete _responsi- bility for. That was the claim that they were responsible for the prosperity of the country. A large amount of Re- publican propaganda was put forward to uphold_that contention. "It certainly had its effect.” Reads Parts of Speeches. The former Governor read extracts from speeches made by President Hoo- ver during the campaign, one in New York claiming that the “job for every man and woman had been made sure,” and another in San Francisco assert- ing that the “poorhouse is vanishing from among us.” He said the Republican spellbinders declared: “:If you want prosperity, elect the Republicans. If you want hard times, bring back the Democrats’ The cold facts are that in six months after the election the stock market crashed. “If you remember, I challenged the statement that the Republicans were responsible for good times and the Democrats for bad times.” Ex-Gov. Smith said he had observed that on every occasion there had been hard times in this country a Republican administration had been in office. He said the Republicans referred to hard times as “business depression” when | they were in power, but called hard times under a Democratic administra- tion a “panic.” “T heard the other day,” continued the former Governor, “that it was called a cycle. That's a new one on me. The man who was with me said they ought to make it a bicycle; that both the Democratic and Republican parties were being taken for a ride.” Indicted on Three Counts. “The Republican party,” continued the foimer Governor, “knew they had nothing to do with prosperity and that they could not continue it and that their campaign was intended to de- ceive the electorate of the United States. With respect to this issue the Republi- can party stands indicted in the eyes of the Nation on three counts. “I produce the indictment. We indict them, first, on the ground that they definitely promised to continue the pros- perity which existed in 1928. No further evidence is required on that indict- ment. “Indictment No. 2. They refused to face the situation until it was actually foxced upon them. “Indictment No. 3. They failed to do that which the Government could have done to relieve the situation.” To bear out these charges ex-Gov. Smith quoted from statements made by President Hoover last Winter and Spring indicating that the unemploy- ment and business depression were soon to pass away; by Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agriculture and by Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor. He charged that Secretary Davis had given out “false figures” in regard to unemployment. ‘To bear out the charge that the Fed- eral Government had not done its full in the circumstances, ex-Gov. Smith said the approp:iation bills for the fiscal year beginning last July 1 for construction on public works had been paired down $26,000,000 less than they were for the previous year and that thousands of men have been let out of work by the Government itself to swell the ranks of the unemployed. Parties Are Compared. Comparing the Republican and Demo- cratic parties, ex-Gov. Smith insisted that the Republicans had made no preparations to meet hard times, while the Democrats in their platform of 1928 had outlined a program which would have helped after the crash. “I offer,” continued ex-Gov. Smith, “on the part of the Democratic party five definite promises “First. The Democratic party will bring about real economy, but not un- necessary appropriations, but by real economy by reorganizing the govern- mental machinery instead of cutting necessary appropriations for the sake of political expediency. “Second. Stabilization of employment by a shorter work week. Certainly if the United States was rich enough to make Saturday a half holiday 20 years ago, we can afford to make it a full holiday in 1930. “Third—and very important. We de- sire to have uniform State laws regulat- ing child labor, which will prevent the employment of young children and fur- ther prevent unfair labor competition | | between the States. “Fourth. We favor the immediate pas- sage at the next session of Congress of the unemployment bills of Senator Wag- ner of New York. “Fifth. A new tariff policy.” Attacks Tariff Policy. ‘The former Governor charged that the Republican tariff policy was re- sponsible this year for shutting out of Europe and other countries two bil- lion dollars’ worth of American goods. In conclusion former Gov. Smith de- | clared the Democratic party desired to make no political capital out of the distress of the American people, as has been charged by Republican speakers. The Democrats, he said, insist that they have a right, in the interests of thc"Amencln Ppeople, to discuss the sit- uation. BYG. 0. P. LEADERS Cabinet Members Making Speeches in Behalf of Party’s Off-Year Candidates. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. the concern of the national administra- tion over the outcome of the congres- sional elections next Tuesday. Cabinet officers are making stump speeches and talking over the radio and all the resources of the party are being marshaled to turn the tide, which is now running against the Republican party in many States. All the “big guns” are being fired by both sides this week. Former Gov. Al Smith, talking last night in Providence over a Natfon-wide radio hook-up, said that the purpose of a congressional elec- tion was to give the people an oppor- tunity every two years to express their approval or disapproval of a national administration, and that he thought the Hoover regime’ deserved to be rebuked. This speech probably will be answered by former President Coolidge, who is talking on behalf of former Senator Butler in Massachusetts. ¥ ‘Wilbur Makes Air Talk. ‘The President himself is not making anv general appeal, but Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, just made an address over the air calling upon the country to hold up the hands of the President and not embarra: him by giving him a Democratic Con- Tess. From the Democratic side has come an interesting speech delivered by John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who made some suggestions about Democratic policy in the event of a triumph at the polls next Tuesday. He urged a five-day week for labor, revision of the trust laws and a referendum on prohibition, as well as a commission that would take the tariff out of politics The situation in New England which has brought former Gov. Smith to Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and which has brought Mr. Coolidge out of his silence on political subjects is par- ticularly significant, because both Mass- achusetts and Rhode Island went Dem- ocratic in 1928 and the Republicans are struggling against a Democratic current. Others in Campaign. The national administration is pleased ! naturally that Mr. Coolidge is to as- sist in the Massachusetts campaign, for what the former President says will be carried by radio to other parts of the country. Secretary Stimson of the State_Department, who comes from { New York State, is to campaign for Mr. | Tuttle, the Republican candidate, while Secretary Hurley of the War Depart- | ment has already entered the New York | campaign. Many conferences are held daily here at the two national headquarters, and considerable money is being spent by both sides—probably more than ever { before in an off-year election. Reports indicate widespread interest on the part of the voters and a large vote mext Tuesday. The prohibition issue and the economic depression have furnished more material for stump speeches than the orators usually have available, a large extent also, the attack has cen- | tered on President Hoover, so that even if he does not himself appeal for a Re- publican Congress the results of the telection will be analyzed in the light of its indications of approval or dis approval of the incumbent administra- | tion.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, October 28.— | Defense Attorney Frederick H. Wood told Judge David G. Jenkins today that the Bethlehem Steel bonus plan, which netted $3,000,000 to the corporation's executives last year, had no significance in the drawing up of terms for the ac- quisition of the Youngstown Sheet & ‘Wood charged that the Cyrus 8. Eaton group, which seeks to block the sale, overemphasized the effect of the bonus plan during trial of the injunc- tion sult, and attached no importance to it whatever during the proxy battle that preceded the Youngstown stock- holders’ meeting. | The purpose of the bonus plan is to | compensate the officers of Bethlehem according to results accomplished in the way of earnings, Wood said.
