DEMOCRATS FIGHT TAGOF RADICALISM Republicans in Northeastern | States Avoid Prohibition Issue in Campaign. BY THEODORE C. WALLEN. The fizst week of the presidential campaign ended with the Democrats | fighting off the tag of radicalism n the | crucial Northwestern battleground and | the Republicans determincd to make their drive on that issug, almost to the X on of prohibition, and appeal to the Nation’s historic tendency to turn to the right in grave national emergencies. Republican leaders, while prepared to | meet the prohibition issue wherever | they may be challenged, are determined | not to be diverted from their funda- mental objective of putting the Demo- | crats on the defensive at the outset as| reverting to the form of the Bryan| campaign of 1896 and offering untried and radical policies as against Presi- dent Hoover's established conservatism. | In this purpose, the Republicans are | planning to capitalize to the utmost Speaker John N. Garner's break with President Hoover and privately with) some of his Democratic congressional | colleagues in his insistence on direct Feucral loans to individuals. President Hoover's veto of the Garner-Wagner re- lief bill is being awaited as a campaign document which will furnish the text for Republican speakers preparing to take the stump in various parts of the | country. G. 0. P. Seeking Drys. With the Democrats relying on party | regularity to recover the solid South,| on the Roosevelt personality and “lib- eralism” to win the West, and on their wet plank to carry the East, the dry forces, which my hold the balance of power in many Western States, are un- der increasing pressure to throw in their lot with the Republicans to avoid the national mandate for repeal which Democratic victory would carry. The nomination of Willlam D. Up- shaw as the Prohibition party candi- date for President, is cited confidentially by outstanding dry leaders as not only sidetracking the drift toward a major | dry third party movement, but also as| the possible forerunner of a turn to the Republican side in conferences of the National Prohibition Board of Strategy here Thursday and Friday. Such a shift, even though it might not take the form of an official decision of the board, would be expected to help head off the trends toward Gov. Roose- velt that have been reported {rom States across the Mississippi, States which joined the Woodrow Wilson procession back to the White House in 1916.

HEBERT TO DISCUSS HOME LOANS PLAN Senator, as Forum Speaker, | Will Outline Aims of Measure. How the home loan banks, proposed by the Hoover administration and in-| corporated in a bill before Congress| for final consideration, would operate will be discussed by Senator Felix He- | bert of Rhode Island in the National Radio Forum at 9 p.m. Wednesday. The Radio Forum is arranged by The Wash- ington Star and broadcast over the network of the National Broadcasting Co. Senator Hebert has made a close study of the legislation for the home loan banks and is thoroughly informed regarding the plans and purposes of these proposed new banks. The ad- ministration’s plan called for setting up the home loan banks with a fund of $125,000,000 to be provided by the Government. The home loan bank bill has been'| the unfinished business of the Senate for more than a week, final action hav- ing been delayed by the beer rider offered by Senator Bingham, Republi- can, of Connecticut, which he eventual- ly withdrew. Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, yesterday offered to withdraw his cur- rency expansion amendment-to the bill it given assurances it would be voted on independently later. Such assur- ance was not given, however, and the proposal remained before the Senate. ROOSEVELT WIRES HOOVER FOR PARLEY ON ST. LAWRENCE VIEW OF OFFICIALS ON PROBE SOUGHT Government Heads to Ex- press Opinions on Investiga- tion of Fiscal Affairs. By the Associated Press. High Government officials are to be given an opportunity to tell the House Rules Committee tomorrow whether they into Federal fiscal by Speaker Garner. Secretary of the Treasury Mills and Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board and chairman of the board of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, will be invited by Chair- man Pou to give their views on the resolution calling for a special com- mittee of House members to make the inquiry. affairs as favored Hearings Begun. Hearings on the proposal were begun yesterday with Representative Mec- Fadden, Republican of Pennsylvania, charging irregularities in the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve Board and banks, and particularly with regard to tax coliections and refunds. The measure was drafted at Speaker Garner's diréction after his statement in the House Priday that he approved an investigation of the Treasury, but 1ad not insisted upon it at this time because of the fear disclosures might do harm to the country economically and otherwise. Garner told newspaper men yester- day that if the Republican organization thought it best for the country not to investigate the Treasury at this time he would defer it temporarily, “If the Republicans in the House are ready to support the investigation de- manded by Representative McFadden, then we are ready to go ahead,” Gar- ner sald. “We have sufficient data on which to make the investigation.” “Yesterday, when the assistant minority leader, Representative Mich- ner, said he wanted the investigation made, I said we were ready to make it and we are,” Garner added. Aims at Refunds. The Speaker said the investigation should be directed particularly at the $3,733,000,000 the Treasury has allowed taxpayers in refunds, rebates and credits, including the $96,000,000 re- turned to the United States Steel Cor- poration. Representative Purnell of Indlana, ranking Republican on the Rules Com- mittee, protested McFadden’s appear- ance before the committee without Treasury officials being present, but he was overruled. However, Purnell’s mo- tion to invite Mills and Meyer was was deferred until tomorrow. Before the hearing opened, Repre- sentative Snell of New York, the Re- publican_leader, told newspaper men there would be no investigation be- cause “none is necessary.” WAR DEBTS STAND, U. S.

Widespread public resentment against | the proposal that bus lines use the | Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard as | a regular commerciat highway to carry | commuters back and forth between the | Capital and points in Virginia has been | aroused in the Capital, it was disclosed | yesterday. | Pointing out that the road was built | for the enjoyment of the public and not | for the exploitation of bus companies, | who seek to run regular scheduled “ex- press” trips between Washington, Alex- andria and other points along the high- way, public-spirited citizens, including the heads of the District and National George Washington Bicentennial Com- | missions, expressed their unqualified | disapproval of any proposal that would | turn over the memorial boulevard to| the convenience of any private interests. | Hearing Set Tuesday. | | The nine bus companies which have | asked permission to use the highway will have their requests weighed at a public_hearing in the office of Lieut. Col. U. §. Grant, 3d, director of the | Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, Tuesday, and vigorous opposition to the granting of permission to run commuters’ bus service is expected to develop. Opponents to the proposal take the view that there are ample highway fa- cilities for bus lines between the Capital and nearby Virginia points without cluttering up the Mount Vernon Boule- vard with the bus traffic traveling at rush-hour speed, jockeying for position and constituting an actual menace to | lives and property along the scenic route Dr. George C. Havenner, executive di- rector of the local Bicentennial Com- mission and president of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, and Repre- sentative Sol Bloom, associate director of the United States George Washing- ton Bicentennial Commission, were ex- | plicit in their demand that the high- | way not be used for commercial pur- poses, but rather retath its park pects, and be preserved for the enjoy- ment of the people, while the busses carry commuters over other routes, Said Dr. Havenner: B “As a citizen of Washington, as presi- dent of the Federation otgt Citizens' As- sociations of the District of Columbia and as active head of the District of | Columbia George Washington Bicen- | tennial Commission, I most certainly believe that the Mount Vernon Memo- | rial Highway should be preserved as & park and not as a road for the con- | venience of bus companies operating service to and from the District. The regularly scheduled bus lines should use other routes to Alexandria, Mount | Vernon and points south of Mount | Vernon and leave the great memorial highway for the enjoyment of the thou- sands of sightseers who visit the Capi- tal and the historic points in the Old Dominion to which the highway leads.” Mr. Bloom declared: | “The park aspects of the Mount Ver- | non Memorial Highway should be pre- served for the Nation and not rele- gated to the convenience of people Gettipg Railroad Fare Home HOME LURE GETS MANY BONUS MEN Departures on U.

PERSUPPRESSS CVLAN UPRISING Federal Troops Recapture Town of Trujillo After Reign of Terror. By the Associated Press LIMA, Peru, July \9-—Government forces recaptured the town of Trujillo today from civilian rebels who had slain the mayor, looted homes and banks and set fire to several buildings in a reign of terror, sald reports re- ceived here. The revolutionary leader, Cardenas. also was reported killed. The revol officially described as communistic, ready had taken several other lives The rebels decided to surrender after a dose of aerial bombing. Iu- abitants of the town, which had been held by the revolutionaries since Thursday, wavedl white flags as the government planes flew over a second time, the pilots said. Federals Take Heights. ‘The heights of the Port of Sala- verry were taken by federal troops after bitter fighting. The soldiers landed at Salaverry under the protec- tion of airplanes and captured two artillery pieces. Peru was under a state of seige and several important seaports were clcsed. An eyewitness account of the Tru- jillo uprising said that the homes of Luis Gonzales Orbegoso, member of the Chamber of Deputies, and Dr. Justo Amadeo Vigil, president of the revolu- tionary Union party and a supporter of President Luis M. Sanchez Cerro, were attacked. The rebels also set fire to the plant of the newspaper La Industria, owned by a relative of President Sanchez Cerro. They were reported to have slain )émuel Angel Ganoza, mayor of the wn. ‘The decision of the rebels to give up was telegraphed to Lima authorities by the president of the Appeals Court and the president of the Chamber of Com- merce at Trujillo. Americans Unworried. Except for the Trujillo district the country was quiet. ~Loyal aviators assigned to service there mixed in with their bombs numerous pamphiets urg- ing the revolutionaries to drop their arms. Federal troops arrived at Paljan, & short distance from Trujillo, and other forces were converging on the city to make escape impossible for the revolters. Armed civilians within the town who remained loyal to the government blew up bridges to prevent a retreat toward the Andean region. American diplomatic officials said they were not worried about the 35 Amer- icans employed in mining enterprises around Trujillo. All of them were understood to be safe.

Although most of the familiar land- marks are down at the opening of a campaign without parallel for cross- currents in recent years, the funda- mental issue of conservatism verus radicalism is regarded as cutting across the prohibition as well as the economic question. Hope Business to Open Purse. % Republican leaders are assuming that the outcome in the Northeastern and Middle Western States may depend on whether they are wetter than they are conservative and traditionally Repub- lican. They believe that the Eastern business interests will subordinate their wetness, open their purses and rally to the Hoover standard, as they did to the McKinley banner, if they can be con- vinced that the issue is between con- servatism and radicalism. ‘This feeling became so pronounced in the campaign of 1896, it is recalled, that Mark Hanna raised a campaign chest of close to $16,000,000.

The State of New York not only owns this potential power but seeks through a State agency to make it available to millions of people at Teasonable cost. “That is why the determination of the share of the total cost of construc- tion to be paid for by this State is a present factor which should not, be rele- gated to later negotiagions between us. “Four sovereignties are involved: the Dominion of Canada and the Province of Ontario, the United States and the State of New York.

In view of this, therefore, it is my belief that through a personal conference be- tween us this could be promptly solved. “With such an agreement between the Federa] administration and the State of New York it would be my hope that it would be possible to submit a treaty to the Senate for immediate and, I hope, favorable action as soon as signed. May I respectfully point out that such action would hasten greatly the initiation of this vast project—one which means cheap transportation by deep waterway for the agricultural and other products of the West; cheaper electricity from the State owned and controlled resource to be developed for the primary interest of homes, farms and Industries; and, of immediate im- portance, employment for thousands of workers. If, by this cutting red tape and eliminating formalities, we could work together to secure early and final action on this great public work, it would be greatly to the public interest.

Waters then explained the mission of his visit with Vice President Curtis on Friday. “T told the Vice President,” the com- mander shouted, “that we are not going | to live here like animals any longer. I| told him we were going to stick it out | and we must have food and proper housing and that it was too big & job | for any one except the Government to handle.” Waters did not indicate in his speech the reply of the Vice President to his demands. | He concluded by saying that he had | hopes that Congress would approve | some kind of relief measure for the army before it adjourned. As the men stood in the hot sun they witnessed a peace celebration be- | tween Waters and Harold B. Foulkrod, | former chairman of the army’s Legisla- tive Committee. ‘We had a run-in yesterday, Foulkrod and myself are on gcod terms now,” shouted the commander. He ex- plained that the rift was over a cer- tain remark attributed to Foulkrod about the management of the army. “It's all right now,” Waters said. “Foulkrod has agreed that this army | must not be divided cn any issue. We must stand together.” [ As the veterans cheered, the two men shook hands. Three hours later Foulkrod walked into the army’s national headquarters and submitted a statement urging the | | men to take advantage of the Govern- | | ment loan and return to their homes | |and wage their battle from now on at| | the ballot box. At the same time, he | submitted his resignation, declaring that he had certain political connec- | tions that would prove more worth while then to remain longer with the army. Waters immediately issued a state- ment that Foulkrod's action was “a| sell-out of the bonus expeditionary force by one who had been a trusted officer, but who has been discredited | since his return from the Democratic | National Convention for conduct ami- cable to the harmony of the bonus army." | Determined on Staying. “The B.

Camp Routine Continued. Meantime, the regular rcutine wes carried out at all of the camps. After a short drill period during the early morning, the m.a]oflte of men encamped at Anacostia took advantage of the cool shade offered by the big tents of the Salvation Army and the Geepel Mis- slon for either games of checkers or to snatch some sleep. Veterans who milled around the lobby Cross was serving doughnuts and coffee to those awaiting the approval of their loan applications. Many in the camps were reported to have walked to the “handout.” The veterans applying for transporta- tion expressed themselves as being glad of the opportunity to get back home. They frankly admitted that not only were they homesick, but that they could see nothing to be gained by remaining in Washington. o K. C.

By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, July 9.—An | extremely economical campaign, with most of the responsibility for its con- | duct left up to State organizations, was outlined today by James A. Farley as | the method by which the Democrats | will seek support in November. The Roosevelt campaign manager and | new head of the national committee, | said thousands of letters and telegrams had convinced him the party “is better united at this time than ever before.” They also, he said, had made him “more confident than ever of predictions | I made before the convention that if | nominated, Gov. Roosevelt would be | elected by the greatest vote ever given | & Democratic nominee in a two-party | Aght.” i Pre-Convention Cost Low. “The pre-convention campaign for Gov. Roosevelt,” he said, “lasting for 18 | months or more, was run at an extreme- 1y low cost, probably the lowest in the | history of modern- American politics. I am convinced that his campaign for the | presidency can be operated along simi- | Iar lines. - “Undoubtedly the radio will play an | important part. “I am sure that on each State or- ganization should be placed the respon- | sibility for the conduct of the national campaign. The national headquarters, of course, will co-operate with the State organizations in every way. I am saf- isfled that, under proper direction, bet- ter results will be achieved than if na- tional headquarters undertook to run campaigns in each State. Efficient Work Planned. “The pecple in national headquarters |are not acquainted with local condi- tions in various States, and their efforts in a national campaign serve to create a lot of confusion and difficulties not easily overcome.” He expressed the opinion divisional headquarters “operated with a minimum of help, with each one doing efficiently the job assigned, to him,” would be more effective than “the most elaborate headquarters staff that could be con- ceived.” Commenting on the statement of Al- fred E. Smith that he weuld support the Democratic party in November, Far- ley saif “Al's & Democrat. That's enough. Democrats are loyal to the party and Gov. Roosevelt is the party nominee.” ok esiiain BONUS MARCHER DROWNS Colored Man Victim of Accident at ‘Washington Harbor.
