A6 HURLEY KEYNOTER AT OHID SESSION Secretary Charges Demo- crats Lack Program and Cites Work Done by Hoover. By the Assoclated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 15—The national administration’s attack on the presidential candidacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt was turned loose for the first time in the Middle West last night| with a challenging speech of Secretary | of War Patrick J. Hurley. The speech, declaring the Democratic party and its candidate have “no pro- " for breaking the depression, was delivered at the platform convention of | Ohio Republicans. | Both Hurley and United States Sen- | i | ing the dollar back, ator Simeon D.

Church Won’t Give His Money Back, So Branigan Will Sue Disgruntled by Sermon, Listener Regrets Drop- ing Dollar in Plate. By the Assoclated Press. BELOIT, Wis., July 15.—E. R. Brarl- gan, majority leader of the City Council, | plans to sue the Second Congregational | Church to get back a dollar he con- | tributed at a church service. On July 3 he attended church and | before the sermon, by the Rev. H. A. | Studebaker, Branigan, local = political storm center, put a dollar in col- lection plate. Then the Rev. Studebaker Branigan in- terpreted several of the pastor's remarks as barbs directed at him and his politi- cal cohorts. After thinking over the sermon for a couple of days, he wrote the pastor ask- stating he didn’t “contam- inated” by accepting his money. The Ppastor referred the request ‘o the board of trustees. The_trustees heard quest but took no action. “It looks like they aren’t going to | give my dollar back. .I'm going to sue Turning to Roosevelt's speech accept- | them,” Branigan sald. ing the Democratic nomination, Hurley sald he was intrigued by the numtnee'si pledge to a “new deal” for the Ameri- | can people. “Just what is this new | deal?” he asked. “The Governor does not enlighten us.' i Hurley made no mention of prohibi- tion, but reviewed the administration’s | accomplishments, which he said in- cluded a fight for maintenance of American standards of living, proper tariffs, opposition to wage reduction, | and the bolstering of confidence of the | financial world and the stopping of | bank failures by the formation of a pri- | vate banking pool of half a billion | dollars, The Secretary criticized the Demo- cratic vice presidential nominee, John | N. Garner, and other members of the | House of Representatives majority, al-| leging they had attempted to put the | Government into business against pri- | vate enterprise. ‘ Plank’s Passage Seen. | Despite an impending floor battle, managers of the convention sat back | today confident the prohibition plank of the national convention would go over with a bang. The convention | Resolutions Committee went into a huddle last night and two hours later overrode a minority for a dripping wet plank in favor of the more conservative national plank Gilbert ~ Bettman, candidate for United States Senator and an out- spoken wet, took the floor and declared for indorsement of the national con- ‘vention plank, which, he said, after all, declared for Tesubmission of the ques- tion and at the same time gave the people the right of protection under | the laws. He declared he stood on his ground as a foe of prohibition as now constituted and enforced. Temperance is necessary, he said, but should be JPromoted by education in the churches and the homes. David S. Ingalls, the “boy” guberna- torial candidate. brought the convention to its feet several times with a declara- tion that he stood “for the repeal of ell present prohibition laws.” Hardly had he gotten under way than a cry of | “We want beer!” rang from the floor and the galleries. Hoover’s Acts Cited. “Let us contrast the vague references of Franklin D. Roosevelt to a new deal with the accomplishments of President Hoover,” Secretary Hurley told the convention in his keynote speech. “From the very beginning of the de- pression, the President continuously has fought for the maintenance of the American standard of living. “He insisted upon tariffs to meet the flood of cheap goods from Europe. He upheld wages. “He inaugurated a program of Federal construction to stimulate industry and increase employment. ;He stopped immigration by executive order. “He conciliated capital and labor. He defeated the dole. He mobilized the public opinion to take care of distress. He directed the Farm Board to take and hold surplus until better markets could be obtained. He bolstered up confidence in the financial world and stopped the onrush of bank failures by organizing a private bank pool of $500,000.000. Panic Spread Prevented. “He extended a moratorium—which has nothing to do with the cancellation of debts, and prevented the spread of financial penic to the United States. “We have prevented disorders, riots and sociel upheavals. We have cared for the needy. “We are in a depression but we have averted panic and catastrophe. 20 revolutions have shaken the founda- tions of other nations—while nation after nation has been driven from its gold standard, the United States, under the administration of Herbert Hoover, is tranquil, solvent and confident. “The Democrats have had no pro- am. The Democratic candidate has suggested no program. ‘The Hoover * pon-partisan reconstruction program still the only complete logical program offered by any one in or out of public life to bresk this depression.” Baby Causes “13™ Argument. Is 13 an unlucky number? Never be- fore has there been as warm argument over the old superstition as in Chile following the result of a lottery. A ticket number 1313 won a $15,000 prize. That was lucky. But when the owner sought it he found that a baby had eaten the corner on which the number was printed and the prize was not awarded. That was unlucky. So the argument still rages. | to all regional managers of veterans' ASKS 0B AUCTIONS ON NATIONAL SCALE -2 Hines Supports Radio Plan in Plea to Veterans’ Organizations. Placing men upon the block over the radio as a means of relieving unemploy- ment among war veterans is being urged by the United States Veterans’ | Administration on a Nation-wide scale. Successful job auctions conducted by American Legion posts in collaboration with local broadcasting stations have elicited the approval of the Federal Vet- | erans’ Agency. Hundreds of veterans| have obtained jobs as a result of these ! novel auctions, which were first orig- inated last April. - Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans ad-| ministrator, addressed a communication units, suggesting such job auctions locally. He explained that the sug-| gestion came from Federal Radio Com- missioner Harold A. La Fount, and that Station WRC in Washington staged a series of three such broadeasts during| May and_procured 266 jobs for Dis- | trict of Columbia war veterans. Growing in Popularity. Reports received by the bureau, it was stated today, indicate that the idea is being accepted favorably, and that a number of cities and town already are undertaking programs of this nature. | Tt is yet too early, however, to learn of general results. Diseussing the WRC broadcasts, Gen. Hines explained to the regional man- agers that they were of 15 minutes duration.

BALTIMORS, July 15 (#).—The slip- | the pery colls of & 20-foot python caused plenty of excitement on board the steamer City of Elwood, here with a sugar cargo from Manila. It was only a baby python—75 years old—its owner, a showman said. = But when an attempt was made the first day to transfer it from one box to an- other, the reptile writhed in anger and began to wind its coils about the trainer, Carl Martin. A seaman and a deck boy rushed to battle, and after a struggle, with Mar- tin the python’s head, the three were able to uncoll the snake and cram it into its new cage.

NEW YORK —The police were non- plussed. The body of the jobless man who had died the night before in a Tenth avenue tenement had to be transported to the morgue. A massive Ted ape squatted menacingly over his deceased master and refused to yield the right of way or enter his own cage. In this crisis some one thought of William Ryan of the American Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals. Ryan, after a single glance at the ape, advanced unarmed to the bed- side and roared: “Get into that cage!"” The ape did. FRIDAY, JULY 1 between ' professional 15, 1932. NATIONS DRAWN INTO SOGCER ROW Clashes Between Italian and Czech Teams Advance Be- yond Throwing Bottles. By Cable to The Star. ROME, July 15—Soccer competition Italian and Czechoslovakian teams today ing pop bottles and mobbing the visit- ing team into_an international incident of some proportion. The Fascist government has officially protested the storm of “Bronx cheers” with which the spectators at last game in Prague saluted the Italian Minister and his staff, who at- tended the game. The Czechoslovakian press is stuffed to the margin with violent abuse of Ttalian p, democracy, poli- tics, art and morals. The Vienna ncws- papers, without waiting—like the Irish- man in the story—to ask if the fight is vate or if any one can help, has en sides with the Czechs. More Than Sentiment, Itallan newspapers content themselves with suggesting that the violence of Czech sentiment must have some cause other than devotion to big scores in foot ball games. The Fascist foreign office professes to see in the excitement at Prague only a sign of bad nerves induced by hard times, the growing in- transigance in Germany and the great powers’ settling of the reparations Lausanne without consulting the little entente. The Central European Soccer Cup is at stake in the competition. The trouble began when the Juventus Club of Turin recently went to Prague to pay. According to reports here—whose im- partiality is not above suspicion—the game degenerated into a mob assault on the Italian team. |~ Four of the Juventus players are sup- | posed to have been manhandled. The | captain of the Italian team says he was | chased by & linesman and & water boy, | who broke & full pop bottle over his head. Thirty-five thousand spectators are reported to have helped —matters along by spitting on Italian reporters | and making impolite notses. |~ The Czechs won by the score of 4 to 0. Named as Delegate. Autoists in Brazil are not interested competition. Therefore, even the Czechs for- feited the Turin game by leaving the field, they remain in the lead by 2 points because of their 4-to-0 score in Prague. ‘The International Soccer Association in Prague and the two clubs.
