A—2 wx PARTY DOMINATION BY CHARITY SEEN Government Aid Policy Could Be Expanded to Coerce Votes. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. President Roosevelt's attack on cor- porate contributions to private charity goes deeper than a mere objection to the proposed bill sponsored by Catholic, Protestant and Jewish char- ities throughout the Nation, whereby gifts shall be exempted up to 5 per cent of the net income. Since Mr. Roosevelt's opposition is not only to any form of tax exemp- tion but to what he calls purchases | of “good will” the impression is growing that he believes charitable work in America should very largely be controled by the Government and handled by public funds. Thus, if private philanthropy can- not raise from individuals enough | money to offset the losses through failure of corporations to give the burden will be transferred to the| Federal Government This means that the Federal Gov- What’s What Behind News In Capital Disarmament Era Over, Dipolmats Agree.

FULL REPUDIATION CHARGED BY COLBY Claims Roosevelt Has Broken Up Platform 100 Per Cent. By the Associated Press. OMAHA, Nebr, July 27.—Bain- bridge Colby, Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson and an active campaigner for President Roosevelt in 1932, yesterday assailed the President and asserted he had repudiated the Democratic platform “100 per cent.” “I heard Mr. Roosevelt say, in sin- cere tones, that he was for the Dem- ocratic platform 100 per cent.

With most of the Navy's lighter- than-air experts attending the forum at Akron, Ohio, under the Guggen- heim Airship Institute, the Navy De- partment today declined to comment on the charge of Prof. Alfred V. de Forest, assoclate professor of me- chanical engineering at Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, that the Navy was to blame for the crash of the Macon off the California coast February 12, because it allegedly falled to make the necessary struc- tural changes. Lieut. Comdr. Jesse L. Kenworthy, now on duty in the Bureau of Aero- nautics, who was executive officer of the Macon when she went down, re- turned to Washington this morning from Akron, but withheld comment.

The union leaders had threatened | increase. BY JOHN C. HENRY. ARADOXICAL, perhaps, but containing an incontrovertible | element of truth, is the fact | I that the millions of employ- | able unemployed constitute one of | America’s greatest resources. Within their ranks are skilled work- ers in every line of industrial endeavor, agriculturists, miners, professional | men and. women capable of taking | their place in the scheme of a na- | tion's recovery and progress. Having these millions available under circum- | stances which now exist is not a con- to call a strike August 1 unless a new agreement was reached. Closely linked with the wage an{ hour negotiations is the becloude fate of the Guffey coal stabilizatioy bill, now before a House Ways and Means Subcommittee. In his letter yesterday to the min- | ers and operators, Mr. Roosevelt said it was “highly desirable that this great industry be stabilized.” “Not all of the future problems of the industry have been resolved,” he added, “and there is still uncertainty, yet the effect of a suspension of bitu- dition for boasting, but it is an assur- ance that manpower of any desired | kind will be avallable when the need minous coal mining is so unfortunate | for the whole country, and the pros- | for it develops. | Statistics gathered by the Federal | who will be drawn from America Emergency Relief Administration offer | man-power pool will find certain fun- invaluable testimony ’in this direc- | damental changes effected in con- tion.

FORREST CITY, Ark, July 27— Benate Majority Leader Joe T. Rob- inpn voiced a stinging denunciation hele Thursday of political groups which, he said, had for their purpose the discrediting of the national Demo- cratic administration and President Roosevelt and charged that “they are united in a drive to seize control of the Government.” Senator Robirson was principal speaker at the peach crop celebration of Crowley Ridge. “In this combination are old line Republicans, disgruntled Democrats and the proponents of many varieties of impracticable schemes,” declared Robinson. “Typical of these ‘conspirators,’” charged the Democratic majority leader, “are Chairman Fletcher of the National Republican Committee and Senator Hastings, Long of Louisiana and Shouse, the president of the Lib- erty League. “It must be understood that these groups are not representative of any common social or political viewpoint.

The posed expression on the faces of Senators lately is due to the fact that they are all having their coun- tenances registered on canvas and paper. For some reason, they do not want any publicity about it, but a car- toonist has been employed to do a sketch of each Senator. Also an un- usually large number of Senators are sitting for oil portraits. Apparently the sketches are to be used for cam- | paign purposes. Five More Dams? T. V.
