DEMOCRATS SPLIT BOLTERS - REPORT| Young Revolters Say Kan- sas Party Members Re- sent “Spending Spree.” By the Assoctated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, July 27—Two Kansas Young Democratic leaders, who bolted in protest against “New Deal” spending, returned from a tour tonight and asserted dissension is sweeping the party. Visiting in six of Kansas' seven congressional districts, Clarence E. Williford of Ellsworth and J. A. “Jack” Charvat of Topeka sald “everywhere we went we found Democrats begin- ning to doubt the wisdom of huge governmental expenditures.” The two and Collins C. Caldwell of Dighton created a political stir last week by resigning as secretary, pub- MNeity chairman and member of the, Executive Committee, respectively, of the Young Democratic Clubs of Kan- sas. They were joined yesterday by Verner C. Smith of Salina, past sec- retary. will Join G. O. P. Caldwell has joined the Republican party and Williford and Charvat have declared they will do the same. Seeking reaction to their revolt, Williford and Charvat traveled through the State to talk with former political associates and Democratic leaders. “We were most pleasantly surprised at the treatment accorded us by Democrats,” they declared. “Young Democratic leaders who worked with us in the 1932 and 1934 campaigns expressed much the same attitude that we did.” They tongue-lashed the national ad- ministration because it ‘has needlessly piled up a debt which the young men and women must eventually pay.” “Kansas Democrats are asking,” the two said, “ ‘where’s this spending pro- gram getting us?’ ‘When is it going to stop?” And ‘how’s it going to be paid?’ ” Balanced Budget Cited. “The fact that Kansas has balanced its budget and is operating on a pay- as-you-go policy has made a favorable impression on many Democrats in con- trast to the big debt built up by the national administration,” they added. Predicting many more Young Demo- erats would follow their lead, they said: “We appeal to the thinking young men and women of Kansas and of the Nation to demand a halt on the spend- ing spree and insist that the Federal Government adopt a policy of paying its way as it goes.” Another Worker Quits. LAWRENCE, Kans, July 27 (#).— Ned Swope, active worker in the Douglas County Young Democrats or- ganization and a precinct committee- man here for four years, announced today he was quitting the party. “I am leaving the Democratic party because I feel the Democratic party has left me by going communistic,” said Swope. Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) voting public is being fed up with campaign speeches and political prop- aganda to the point of saturation, he is going to take his case to the people! within the next few weeks. In & swing across the continent, he plans to make at least two or three; major politica: speeches and a num- ber of extemporaneous back-platform talks. His purpose is to drive home| to the people three things. First of all, he will put at rest, by personal appearance and personal utterance, a| well-started whispering campaign to| the effect that he is not well. Sec-| ondly, he is going to remind the peo-| ple of what he considers the great accomplishments of his administra- tion—of what the New Deal has done not only for the “forgotten man,” but for the country. Then, he plans to talk about what the New Deal has in store for the future. | ‘Those speculating upon the scope of | the President’s forthcoming political speeches on his trip to the West Coast are unable now to decide how far he will go in discussing the Supreme Court or advocating constitutional changes to bring the court, as he has inti- mated, up from the “horse-and-bug- | gy” days. There are some, even at this early date, who are inclined to feel that this may be one of the President’s paramount issues of the campaign. None of those close to the President, to whom he talks freely, is inclined to commit himself on this point. More- over, much can happen between now and the time when the campaign is actually on. What might look like | a war ary now may be something else tomorrow. Not Afraid to Face Facts. Mr. Roosevelt is not afraid to hear bad news. He is not deaf to the rumblings and the grumblings finding their way into Washington. And from these reports it seems certain that there has been a decided reac- tion against the President, who, a little more than a year ago, was looked upon virtually as the idol of the people and whose re-election was s foregone conclusion. He has be- come a target, along with his ad- ministration, not only from those of the opposite political faith, but from those of his own party. ‘Those who have attempted to place this change of sentiment ascribe the real beginning of the drift away from the President to the attitude he assumed following the Supreme Court’s adverse decision regarding the N. R. A. These observers, in their check-up, find that the President’s tax proposal has met with little favor. ‘The reports are that the little fellow s probably more frightened than the big fellow over “share the wealth” talk. And there is abundant evidence that the people did not relish the President’s apparent attempt to rush his tax proposal through Congress, particularly at a time when Congress was already head over heels in im- portant legislative problems and other- wise beset with “must” legislation. At this time those who are specu- lating on the possible issues in the next presidential campaign feel cer- tain that the Republican opponents will have an ample amount of ammu- nition, but that they will more than likely center their attack on what they will declare to be the failures of the New Deal. They will keep driving home to the people the question, “Do you want this New Deal for another four years?” The opponents will em- Republican leaders Gov. Nice of Maryland.

He realizes that there is a growing criticism, and that he has| lost some of his popularity. But he | has a lot of confidence in his own ability to talk to the people. The President has planned to make his first major political speech August 23 in Milwaukee, Wis., before the con- vention of Young Democrats. Of course much depends now on the ad- journment of Congress as to whether he can keep this engagement. If he is forced to cancel it, he will simply plan making the same speech some- where else. He has a number of in- vitations, and he can be quite par- ticular in his choice. His plan is then to make his second major speech during the ceremonies incident to the | formal dedication of Boulder Dam. | Finally, he will have the setting of | it.he San Diego Exposition for his last | major speech. From San Diega, the President will proceed leisurly back to | Washington aboard a naval vessel,| thereby affording himself rest and re- laxation before resuming his admin- | | istration of the Government business. | —— Hoover (Continued From Pirst Page.) | with prominent Republicans may have a decided bearing on the political fu- ture. But what remains to be seen. The calls, Mr. Hoover's secretary said, are “purely social” and have “no political significance.” But the Re- publican County Central Committee at San Francisco, in announcing an address by Gov. Harry W. Nice of Maryland, said he came from “a po- litical conference” with the former President. Whoever is right, many observers refuse to believe there is no political significance in visits to Mr. Hoover by Patrick J. Hurley, former Secretary of ‘War; James M. Beck, former Solicitor | General and later & Representative | from Pennsylvania; Gov. Nice, one of | the few Republican State Executives | elected in the Democratic landslide last year, and Col. Frank Knox, pub- lisher of the Chicago Daily News. All have been mentioned as possible Republican presidential nominees. | In addition, Gov. Alfred M. Landon | of Kansas, another G. O. P. possi-| bility for the nomination, was invited | to Palo Alto, but declined, saying he could not go because of mine labor troubles and the iliness of Mrs. Lan- don. Nice Denies Politics. Gov. Nice said his talk with Mr. Hoover had nothing to do with per- sonal ambitions. “Our talk,” he added, “was looking only to the restoration of the country to a constitutional form of govern- ment instead of a Rooseveltian czar- ism.” He returned to Baltimore and is spending the week end on Chesapeake Bay with a group of Eastern party leaders, including Henry P. Fletcher, chairman of the Republican National Committee, and George H. Moses, for- mer Senator from New Hampshire. Lawrence Richey, Mr. Hoover's Wash- ington representative and his confi- dential secretary in White House days, also is in the party. Curiously, President Roosevelt also sailed down the bay over the week end with Controller General McCarl, who has been suggested by some as a possible Republican presidential can- didate. En route to Palo Alto, Col. Knox told a rally of Los Angeles County Re- publicans that Mr. Roosevelt was guilty of promoting laws “for the deliberate purpose of undermining the power and prestige of the Supreme Court.” Hurley Predicts Defeat. Presh from his talk with Mr. Hoover, Hurley predicted at Oklahoma City that President Roosevelt would be de- feated in 1936. As if in reply, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, told a convention of young Democrats at Forrest City, Ark, that the Re- publicans are “hopelessly divided and dare not discuss openly candidates for the presidential nomination because they know this will provoke irrecon- ciliable differences.” And James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, chimed in that he had a “hunch” the Republicans would nominate Mr. Hoover and that Mr. Roosevelt's re- election is “in the bag.” You can take your choice.

Pearson, lately Governor | of the Virgin Islands, but now director | of welfare of the Housing Division of the Public Works Administration. Until January 1 the one-time pro- fessor of public speaking and Chau- tauqua lecturer will play the favorite New Deal game of making surveys | and laying plans, for not until Janu- ary 1 will there be any low-cost hous- ing projects operating of which to act as welfare director. But on New Year day the Tech- wood project in. Atlanta, built to accommodate 604 farilies, will be thrown open and Director Pearson | will begin to act. By July 1, 1936, if all goes well, five other housing proj- ects will be completed and ready for | occupancy—University project in At- | lanta, two projects in Montgomery, Ala., one in Indianapols and another in Cleveland. Post Long in Ickes’ Mind. The office of director of welfare, it is said at the Housing Division, is a post which Administravor Ickes has long had in mind and which happily needed filling just at the time Mr. Pearson left his Virgin Islands post after two weeks of senatorial investi- gation of conduct of affairs in the possessions The manifold duties ot the pos- sessor of the welfars job include planning educational opportunities for the persons moved Into the hous- | ing developments, providing them with recreation, caring for their health, inculcating them with a com- munity spirit which will make pos- sible realization of all the social hopes held out by backers of the low-cost theory. They also include instruction of the occupants of the housing develop- ments in the use of running water and other conveniences lacking in the slum dwellings in which most of the prospective low-cost tenants supposed- ly have spent all or the greater part of their lives. Dr. Pearson Due Soon. Dr. Pearson is in New York today, but plans to return early in the week to assume his new post. Public Works Administration officials are seeking an office for him in the air- cooled corridors of the fourth or sev- enth floors of the Interior Department Building. Actually, he has had considerable experience in the type of social serv- ice work which he will supervise as director of welfare. During the World War he did yeo- man service with the Red Cross and Y. M. C.

His crowning work during the war was as a director of the “Smileage Campaign,” which raised $2,000,000 to finance recreational and leisure- time activities for the troops in train- ing camps. To put this campaign across, one of Dr. Pearson’s cohorts composed the famous song, which goes: “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag “And smile, smile, smile.” The handsome Quaker, who gained his first fame at Swarthmore College, outside Philadelphia, where he taught, tried to make the Virgin Islands con- scious of the social value of voca- tional guiding and directed recrea- tion, but encountered stiff opposition from those who had been in the islands for years. Despite the logs thrown in his way, however, Pearson did succeed in widely broadening the educational facilities of the possession. He could never induce the inhabitants to play base ball, but he brought them con- certs, drama and dances instead. POTATOES ROT IN FIELD AS MEN REFUSE JOBS | 90 Carloads of 100-Car Crop Lost, With 5 Cents Per Bushel Pay Offered. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, July 27.—Roy ‘Wood, president of an Oklahoma City produce firm, charged yesterday he had lost a $20,000 potato crop because he was “unable to get pickers.” He estimated that 90 carloads of a 100-carload crop rotted in a 350-acre field leased by his firm near Ponca City. He sald the usual scale was 2 and 2% cents a bushel, and that “we paid 3 cents a bushel until three days ago, when we offered 5 cents a bushel, but even that did not get people to work.” John Eddleman, State relief admis- istrator, said an investigation in that area disclosed that the most a worker could earn in a day was 75 cents.

C, JULY 28 1935—PART O BOARD IS FORMED Advisory Unit Will Serve With Active Members in Campaign. Practical competition of the Com- munity Chest publicity unit for the coming annual chest fund campaign was announcel last night by Joseph D. Kaufman, unit chairman. In addition to the usual sub- chairmen, who will form the active membership of the unit, Ksufman announced the creation of an ad- visory board. Active members of the unit, each of whom is chairman of a subcommittee, are Mrs. Leonard B. Schloss, in charge of the speakers’ subcommittee; Harry Lyles, display advertising Herluf Provensen, radio; Sidney Lust, motion pictures; C. Melvin Sharpe, special features; Robert Dougan, transportation, and John Shoemaker, outdoor advertising. ‘The advisory board consists of Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, editorial director, Washington Herald; Eugene Meyer, owner and publisher, Washington Post; Newbold Noyes, associate editor, The Star; Arthur Newmeyer, pub- lisher, the Times; Lowell Mellett, editor, the News; Carton Barron, ‘Washington representative of Loew’s ‘Theaters; Hardie Meakin, Washing- ton representative of R.

Rubel, president Underwood & Underwood, and W. W. Wheeler, chairman Community Chest Civic Interest unit. “I am delighted with unanimous acceptance of service by the members of our advisory board,” Kaufman sald. “We have a splendid active | organization, but, after all, the Com- munity Chest belongs to all of Wash- ington, and there are bound to come times when we will need the advice | and suggestions of someone outside the active members of the unit. “Because the publicity unit deals directly with the newspapers, radio stations and theaters, it seemed | essentially advisable that we have the heads of these organizations available for consultation, and it was with this purpose in mind that the advisory board was formed. While we do not expect to call on this board for many meetings, we believe that the advice | of its membership on our general | publicity program will prove invalu- | | able to the cause of the Community | | Chest this Fall.” CIVIC AFFAIRS GROUP BACKS DICKSTEIN BILL | Church Federation Committee Supports Measure Against Pub- lication of Racial Prejudice.

Sandor Harmati with MERICAN music is having & great influence on the rest of the world and eventually will lead the music of all other na- tions, is the opinion of Sandor Har- mati, who is in Washington to conduct the National Symphony Orchestra in concerts tonight and Wednesday night at the Potomac Watergate.

Harmati, who has composed several | symphonies, which he will play during his two concerts here, oelieves the great American symphony is yet to be written, but that when it is written will be the greatest ever because it will express the ruggedness of a great peo- ple. He believes the juzz age is slowly passing, but that its influence will be felt in all parts of the world for gen- erations to come. “It is only just and proper that American music should take leadership in the world, for America is fast be- coming the leader in world affairs,” he said. “Already American jazz music | has swept to every civilized country and its influence is being felt.” Harnati marvels at the accomplish- ments of the jazz orchestras. “We who have stood by operatic and classi- cal music have stood with mouth agape to discover that so many things could be accomplished with musical instruments,” he said. “In the jazz | orchestra the violinist must also be able to drop his violin and pick up a saxophone, & trumpet or a flute and play it. And they play them all equally well.” No Traitor to Own Art. But the conductor is not a traitor to his own art in thus praising jazz. He merely believes it was the expres- sion of & people whose emotions had been stified by war. He belleves a great history of a people cannot be written until the people themselves create it.

NEW YORK, July 27.—Informed confidentially that = long-expected drive to unionize the city’s dock work- ers was set to begin Monday, police headquarters began making elaborate arrangements tonight to cover the ‘water front. Orders were dispatched to all | borough commanders to have 1,000 detectives ready to augment the reg- ular forces in event of trouble. “Grapevine” reports reaching Chief Inspector John J. Seery were to the effect that the International Brother- hood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs was planning to opan a concerted campaign against non-union truck drivers. Neither officials nor attorneys of the brotherhood could be reached for comment. A serious effort to organize the water front has been predicted in labor circles, however, ever since the longshoremen and teamsiers’ unions emerged victorious in a recent injunc- tion suit. Beginning Monday, police have learned, members of the brotherhood will take advantage of their court victory by refusing to permit non- union workers to load or operate trucks engaged in hauling freight to the docks. An injunction restraining them from interfering with the free move- ment of freight was issued by Supreme Court Justice Burt J. Humphrey last January, but was quashed on appeal two weeks ago. Union leaders had threatened to call a general strike that would paralyze the entire harbor if the in- junction were upheld. Tc show their strength, they did call a one-day protest walkout of 20,000 truckmen. In reversing the injunction order, the appellate division held that the dispute was one for a Federal agency to settle inasmuch as it involved inter- state commerce. 2 Best Sellers From Our Men's Shop!
