PRESENTURCES ACTONBY HOLS ON RELIEF 8L Night Conference at White| House on $300,000,000 Wagner Measure. SENATE BATTLES OVER[ GARNER PLAN SUBSTITUTE; Hope to Break Deadlock on $2,- 000,000,000 Unemployment Aid to Hasten Adjournment. Speedy action by the House on the| ‘Wagner measure providing $320,000,000 for unemployment relief by leans to| States was urged by President Hoover last night at a White House confer- ence with two Republican and two Democratic members of the House Banking Committee. The measure has been passed by the Senate, but has since failed to receive any action in the House. No agreement on any specific problem was reached at the conference, which was attended by Chairman Steagall of Alabama and Representative Stevenson | of Scuth Carolina, Democrats, and Representatives Strong of Kansas and | Luce of Massachusetts, Republicans. The conference was called as an open- ing wedge in the deadlocked controversy over relief legislation at the end of a day in which the Senate had battled over unemployment aid, now the chief | remaining cbstacle to adjournment. A second Wagner relief bill providing $2,- 000,000,000, and sponsored by Senate Democrats as a substitute for the $2,- 300,000,000 Garner measure, was the measure before the Senate yesterday. No Definite Action Promised. Steagall told newspaper men as hej was leaving the White House that the | proposed Joans to States was discussed in considerable detail, but that no com- _mitments were made. He said no one| attempted to give the President any assurance as to just when he could; expect action by the Banking Com- sittee on this legislation. | "'Lh&‘ cenference, which was held in: the historic Lincoln study of the White House, began at 9 o'clock and continued for an hour. Copies of the direct-relief bill were frequently referred to during the discussion. Representative Strong described the [ ence as an interesting and valu- able exchange of Views. “The President furnished us with in- formation,” he said, “and we furnished him with information.” He added that the Republicans on the committee are anxious that the matter of allocation of the funds to be loaned under the bill should be arranged 50 as to meet the situation and should be in accordance with State needs rather than regulated and limited by State population. He indicated this also was the view of the President. Secparate Action Desired. Strong also emphasized that it is de- sirous to have the $300,000,000 relief bill acted upon separately, rather than tacked on the Garner $2,300,000,000 re- lief bill as has been suggested by some Democratic members of the House. He contended it would be unsatisfactory to use this $30,000,000 direct relief bill as a medium of forcing through the Garner bill by attaching it to the latter. Strong added that the President made it plain that he is hoping for separate | action on the direct relief bill for the | States and that he endeavored to im- press upon the group that conditions | make it necessary to expedite action on this legislation. Chairman Steagall said after the con- at he would want to confer with Speaker Garner, who has been ined to his home because of illness, he initiated any movement on | slation in the committee. He| stated that there are several factors in- | volved and that he had been delaying action because of Speaker Garner's ab- sence from the Capitol. ( G. 0. P. Anxious for Action.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Hoover’'s announcement yesterday that he intends to give un- divided attention to the duties of his| office and not take an active part in the forthcoming campaign “except for a few major sp2eches expounding ad- ministration policies,” put at rest re- ports since his renomination that he | would virtually run his own campaign | and would probably make a series of speeches on a political tour. ! Aside from his appreciation of his| responsibilities as President, Mr. Hoo- ver has plainly shown during his pub- lic life that he has no taste for cam- | paigning or anything else incidental to politics. G. 0. P. Headquarters to Be Moved. | Those who know the President well were not surprised yesterday when he made his position so clear. Neither was any great surprise caused in polit- ical circles here when he, in the same public statement, announced that the headquarters of the Republican Na- tional Committee would be removed from Washington and established in Chicago and New York. This step has been expected by many for some time. Mr. Hoover's known | wishes ot having the political head- quarters taken away from the shadow of the White House may have been sufficient reason for this course, but in addition to that, party leaders had long since come to the conciusion that | setting up headquarters in the Middle West and in New York would be good political strategy. President’s Statement. Mr. Hoover's statement explaining his | | own position and_announcing the es-! | tablishing of headquarters in Chicago | and New York, as made public at the! | White House vesterday, read as follows: ' "I have inicrmed Republican leaders ! that except for a few major addresses | expounding policies of the administra- tion I will not take part in the forth- coming campaign as my undivided at-) | tention must be given to the duties of my office. The campaign will be ccn- ducted and managed entirely by Chair- Sanders and the Republican or- ganization. It has been settled that, | the offices of the Republican National Committee should be removed from | Washington and established at Chicago and New York. Mr. Sanders will be | visiting Washington in the course of a | few days to complete these arrange- ments. “In accordance with the tradition since their beginning that heads of States should open the Olympic games, I had hoped to avail myself of that pleasure and I had also hoped to spend a few weeks at my home at Stanford University, but at the moment this seems improbable as my paramount duty is here.” turning over the management of his campaign to Everett Sanders, the new national chairmen, and other party leaders, President Hoover will not be establishing a precedent. With the exception of Willlam How- ard Taft in 1912, all of Mr. Hoover's predecessors in recent years who were candidates to succeed themselves, re- frained from active campaigning. ‘Radio Addresses Likcly. ‘While President Hoover said he in- tends to make “a few major addresses expounding policies of the administra- ticn,” it is not thought by those close to him that he meant to convey the impression that he is going any great distance _from Washington to deliver these. By means of the Nation-wics radio hcokups, such trips on the part of a candidate are not essential if reach- ing a large audience is all that is hoped for. The impression about the White House is that Mr. Hoover will break the menotony of his Summer by frequent week end trips to his fishing camp on the Rapidan River. There are some who are expecting him to select that spot for the scene of his cficial notification and his speech of acceptance. Extra wires and radio broadcast facilitles have been ex- tended to his camp. Free of Politicians. Aside from the advantages of political strategy to be gained by removing the | national campaign headquarters from | Washington to Chicago and New York, there are other reasons which prompted this decision. The principal one of these was the President’s wish to be relieved of the great army of politicians and others who would be trooping to Washington if the headquarters were here. In anticipation cf an early visit from| Mr. Sanders, President Hoover was en- gaged to some extent yesterday consid- ering tentative plans and campaign policies. For suggestions in this con- nection he conferred separately with| Walter Newton, his political secretary, | who returned yesterday from the Chi cago convention; Lawrence Richey, his personal secretary; Secretaries Stimsor, lls, Adams, Hurley and Doak.

Meeting as “One-Man Show.” PRELIMINARY PLATFORM WORK STARTS THIS WEEK Ritchie Headquarters Will Be Opened Toeday—Lot of Sentiment for Him in Chicago. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Stafl Correspondent of The Stzr. CHICAGO, June 18—The braying of the donkey has succeeded the trumpet- ing of the elephant. The Democrats are piling to Chicago as the Republic- an stragglers of the G. O. P. conven- tion are drifting out. Jouett Shouse, executive chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sounded a keynote of the Democrats over the radio. He took as his text “What the Republicans Have Left Un- Done.” In his opinion the Republican National Convention just closed was a “one-man show"—President Hoover be- ing the man, and the 1,154 Republican delegates were driven to nominate Hoo- ver and Curtis again, although a ma- jority of them would have preferred other candidates. He suggested, too, that the prohibition plank in the Re- publican platform had been written by President Hoover and been forced on an_unwilling convention. The Democratic executive chairman, winding up his address decrying the Republican President and the Repub- lican convention and defending the Democrats against the assaults made on them by the G. O. P. speakers, said: “There is sound reason to conclude that instead of being deluded by the one-man show that had bzen put on in ! Chicago under the name of the Repub- lican Nationa! Convention, a vast num- ber of the voters of America have be- come embittered and resentful at what they regard as a stupid attempt to mis- lead and to deceive them again.” Silent on Democratic Planks. In his speech Mr. Shouse did not undertake to say what the Democrats would do about prohibition and other planks in their own party platform. Of the Republican prohibition plank, he had this to say: “I do not know that Mr. Hoover himself wrote the prohibition plank. But if he did not, the authors of that remarkable production are to be con- gratulated for the perfect counterfeit of his style and method. It can be read by anybody into accord with any- body's idea.” The Democratic executive chairman, discussing the prohibition problem with | newspaper men, however, indicated that the trend of the Democrats was teward a plank advocating a chance to vote on whether prohibition should be repealed and the problem turned to the States without further Federal inter- ference—in other words, the question of straight-out repeal. He sought to make a distinction between having the Democratic party favor resubmission of the eighteenth amendment and having it favor repeal. In practical politics, however, there will be no distinction. If the Democrats write into their plat- form a proposal for submitting a re- peal amendment to the Constitution, they will be labeled by the voters the party of repeal, just as they are now labeling the Republican party the party of revision, as they begin more to un- derstand what the Republican prohi- bition plank actually means. If the Democrats go the length of supporting submission of repeal of the eighteenth amendment, the issue will be pretty well joined between those who wish straight repeal and those who wish revision. Prohibition May Be Issue. The Republicans in their plank de- clare prohibition is not a partisan po- Itical issue. adopt a prohibition plank practically identical with that of the Republicans, it is soon going to be an issue between the two national parties. Furthermore, when the Republican and Democratic platforms of 1928 were both consid- ered “dry” prchibition became an issue (Continued on Page 5, Column 1., HEFLIN MAY ‘RE-BOLT’ T0 DEMOCRATIC SIDE Former Senater to Oppose Hoover if He Finds Him Responsible for Depression.

Members cf a tattered army of World War veterans were reported last ni; to be deliberating whether to evacuate their camps here and return home or to remain in Washington indefinitely until Congress takes favorable action on their legislation for $2,400,000,000 on their so-called bonus certificates. During yesterday police reported ap- proximately 1,000 veterans had begun to plod homeward as leaders of the Bonus Expeditionary Force, disappoint- ed and disgruntled over the Senates defeat of their measure, issued a call for recruits to their ranks. These leaders placed the number of men departing at 200 and characterized them as being “weak sisters.” They also reported a number of new arrivais during the dey. Police officials, however, estimated they had evacuated 300 by trucks before nightfall and roads leading from the Capital were dotted, they said, with members of the nondescript army, limp- ing homeward. Cities to Be Covered. In an effort to increase the expedi- tionary force, leaders dispatched re- cruiting agents to New York, Cleveland, Des Moines, Pittsburgh, South Bend, Dalias, Houston, San Antonio, Camden, | and Paterson, N. J., Anderson, Ala.; Wheeling, W. Va, and Reading, Pa. They also said they had other agents now at work rounding up jobless veter- ans on the Pacific Coast. Before th: recruiting officers de- parted they were addressed by their commander in chief, Walter W. Waters, and instructed to “bring in 150,000 new members by Fall.” One of the principal withdrawals re- ported was that of the official Massa- chusetts delegation. This outfit is headed by John H. Fahey of Water- town, who had been chief aide to Comdr. Waters. Before leaving, Fahey told the com- mander he agreed with other veterans who contended the groups should “be hcme working for their interests in the forthcoming elections rather than sit- ting in Washington.” Meanwhile, an intimation that a third political party might be formed by veterans came last night after a meeting of the bonus army's National Legislative Committee. An announce- ment given to newspaper men asserted: “The Legislative Committee has de- cided to form a non-partisan political organization to support only those can- didates for office who favor the bonus and other veteran legislation. Candidates Warned. “If the two major political party can- didates are not favorable to the bonus, then the Bonus Expeditionary Force will support any other candidate who does favor such legislation. “Recruiting parties will be sent sign up veterans to come to Washington and reinforce the forces now here, but to sign up members for the new polit- ical organization. “Present plans call for the retention of the name ‘Bonus Expeditionary Force’ for this new political group.” The motion to organize the “non- partisan political organization” was of- fered by W. S. Keyser, a Clevelan ran, and seconded by W. C. C land, Oreg. Today the committee in- tends to meet to map out further plans of organization. Relief Measure Promised. Senator Thomas, Democrat, Okla- oma, one of the leading proponents for the veterans’' cause, in an address to approximately 1,000 marchers on the steps of the Senate Wing of the Capi- tol yesterday afternoon assured them that before Congress adjourns a relief measure would be adopted which would (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) eral peace declaration, and (6)—Pro- vision for a new confzrence looking to- ward real recuction five years hence. The Franco-British plan is to get the United States to agree to this and then negotiate with the Germans and Ital- ians. However, the American position is such that the program can be accepta- ble only if it is accompanied by a real reduction in the numbers of men under arms, as suggested in the American ef- fectives’ plan. The French and British now seem- ingly want to dodge this American sug- gestion, or at least postpone it until | goe the next conference, Germany wants reparations canceled, the war-guilt clause removed from the treaty of Versailles, a free hand from France to negotiate frontier revision with Poland and removal of the Ver- sailles disarmament clauses into a new general disarmament treaty.

The papers were handed to him by Constable William Saunders of Flem- ington at the Dwight Morrow home, where the Lindberghs are staying.

Majority Leader Rainey, on the other hand, contends that if the administra- tion really wants to save money the pay cut plan is far superior to the furlough. The proposed 10 per cent cut on salaries in excess of $1,200 is estimated to save $113,00,000, while the furlough, according to its propenents, will reduce pers-nnel costs by approx- imately $80,000,000. Snell Expectsd to Lead Fight. Adoption by the House of the fur- lough plan could bring an end to the long struggle. On the other hand, if the House insists cn upholding its pay cut plan, the controversy will again be thrust directly on the Senate. Representative Snell of New York, Republican leader, is expected to lead the administration fight for the fur- lough. As chairman of the Repub’ican National Committee, Snell, it is pointed out, will be f-rced into the impending fight in view of the plank in the Re- publican platform upholding the prin- ciple of a shorter working week. Despite the confident predictions of | the opposing factions, there is some fear in the House that Representative !La Guardia, Independent Republican, of New York, will start a fight against {any pay cut at all. La Guardia takes the extreme view that the Republican plank on the principle of high wages would be repudiated by any votes for a pay reduction. Exclusive of the amount of savings that would result from the pay cut iplan ultimately adopted, the amend- |ments agreed to in conference are reughly estimated to bring about $40,- 00.000 in economies. With the fur- lough the savings would amount to ap- | proximately $120,000,000, whereas the proposed 10 per cent cut on salaries over $1,260 would raise the total to $153,000,000. Outstanding Recommendations. Outstanding among the recommenda- tions of the conferees were adoption of the Senate amendment limiting annual leave permanerntly to 15 days, excluding Sundays and hclidays, and the House provision which stipulates that in the event of the necessity of dismissals em- ployes whose husbands or wives are working in the Federal service, one or the other shall be the first to be re- leased. ‘The House conferees also recommend- ed agreement with the Senate elimina- tion of the proposed public works ad- ministration, comprising the consolida (Continued on Page 5, Column 4.)
