“WHISPERING HIT BY FARLEY VIEW New Deal Spokesman Says President’s Health Is “Perfect.” By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, August 2—In the first open attack by an adminis- tration spokesman on the asserted *“whispering campaign” against Presi- dent Roosevelt, Postmaster General James A. Farley said yesterday the President is in “perfect health.” Farley told the San Francisco Democratic County Committee that critics have flooded the country with “propaganda” to “destroy confidence in the Roosevelt administration, and particularly in the President himself.” But, he said, President Roosevelt *js in perfect health, * * * he is serene, and * * * living the busiest life in these United States smilingly, cheerfully and most effectively.” Farley, turning to a defense of governmental expenditures, asserted that routine governmental expend- jtures now are “hundreds of mil- lions of dollars per year below what they were when President Roosevelt came to the White House.” “The only extravagance that can be justly laid to the door of the admin- istration,” he said, “is the money it| has expended in feeding the hungry, giving work to the jobless and chang- ing the business balances on their ledgers from red to black. “For example, the amount paid in income taxes last year was $200,000,- 000 greater than the year before, * * * Take the amount of income tax you have paid and figure what relation it bears to your income. Apply the same process to the $200,000,000 increase that the Treasury reports and it will be plain to you that the general pub- lic income in this country is three or four billion dollars more than it was a year ago. That is one yardstick by which you can figure what the Roose- velt policy has done for business.” Farley, who will sail in a few days for Hawaii, pointed to the two huge bridges now under construction across | San Prancisco Bay as tangible evi- | dence of the President’s recovery pro- Loi»by (Continued From First Page.) the box in his presence, but he said: “I know there were cigars in the box because I smoked four or five cigars from the same box later.” After the hotel clerk said Blantoa had paid Sellers’ bill.

The latest of its disclosures was an admission by E. P. Cramer, Plainfield, N. J, advertising man, that he wrote a letter to C. E. Groesbeck, chairman of the board of Electric Bond & Share, a holding company, suggestmg a “whispering campaign” that President Roosevelt was insane. Groesbeck issued a statement saying he had never heard of Cramer or the letter. Neither he nor his associates would “tolerate” such a thing, he said, adding that he could not be respot- sible for “letters written to me." It was exactly a month ago yester- day that the House first voted against mandatory abolition. The vote then was a non-record one, and the ma- jority was 70 against. On yesterday's record - vote, which was taken on Rayburn’s motion to instruct the House conferees to agree to the Sen- ate provision, the majority against was 55. During the debate Rayburn ac- cused utilities of a “campaign of fright and coercion” and said certain holding companies “must die if the Republic is to live. CRAMER HELD “CONTEMPTIBLE.” Thomas A.

Cramer, witness before the Senate Lobby Committee, “is employed in a minor position in our company” and vigorously criticized Cramer’s admitted proposal to start a whispering cam- paign against President Roosevelt. “It is not sufficient,” said Williams, “to state that we do not sympathize with Mr. Cramer’s views. Please make it clear that we consider his reported plan to be puerile and that section of it which referred to a whispering cam- paign to be simply contemptible.” Williams added that his company “has faithfully and continuously sup- ported the administration’s efforts to promote the welfare of business and the Nation.” iR RASKOB’S SON TO MINES Manager of Nevada Properties Acquired by Father.

TWO YOUTHS ROB WOMAN IN STORE $30 Taken From Miss Annie Vinci Under Pistol Threat. Flee in Auto. Two youthful bandits early this afternoon held up Miss Annie Vinci, 29, daughter of the proprietor of a grocery store at 3627 Twelfth street northeast, and robbed the cash register of approximately $30. Miss Vinci was alone in the store at the time, her father C. Vinci, being in a back room. One of the robbers brandished a pistol and demanded: “Stand back or I will shoot.” Then after helping theinselves to the money they warned the young woman not to come outside. The two escaped in an automobile. Miss Vinci said that after one of the bandits had opened the cash register she helped him to get the money out, being anxious for them to leave the store as soon as possible. Police, summoned to the scene, began an immediate lookout for the auto- mobile, the tag number of which was taken by John Feay, 14, whose home is opposite the store at 3628 Twelfth street northeast. oL LOBBY COST $18,025 Oklahoma Outlay Since January 1 Stated.

Below: Signed August BY DON BLOCH. years ago this day, August 2, | 1776, there was signed in | Philadelphia State House the | most sacred of our historical docu- ments, the Declaration of Independ- ence, But that paper, itself, enshrined forever in the Library of Congress, is headed distinctly, “In Congress, July |4 1778 * * o | 5‘ You have also seen, in countless books of history, that Thomas Jef- | ferson was its author. That, too, is | incorrect. | The facts, briefly, concerning the | signing of that document and the celebration following. the “Ring, ’grmdpa. ring!” incident in connec- | tion with the Liberty Bell, are these: Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, au- | thored and introduced the resolution | | now known as the Declaration of In- | ‘dependence. on July 1, 1776. | adopted the next day, | through July 3 and 4. Thomas Jef- | | ferson penned only the preamble, | | adopted July 4, in Congress. Actually Signed August 2. | Signing actually took place on Au- | gust 2, when 50 members attached | | their names. Wythe signed about Au-| qust 27; Lee, Gerry and Wolcott, in | | September. and Thomas McKean of | Pennsylvania actually did not sign it | as it now stands until some time in | 1781. On January 18, 1777, Congress ordered that an authenticated copy of | the Declaration be sent round to all the States; that is, the copy Wwhich | settled the date of subsequent celebra- tions everywhere as of July 4, the date generally believed when the signing took place. The legend of the Liberty Bell, with | its blond-headed, blue-eyed boy noti- fying the white-haired old man in the steeple when to ring out the glad tid- ings, is entirely the fiction of one George Lippard, a long-forgotten, voluminous teller of tales of Philadel- phia, who wasn't born until 1822, al- most half a century after the Decla- ration itself was first proclaimed. Long afterward, when age had blurred their ~memories, Adams, Franklin and Jefferson all told anx-| jous antiquarians that July 4 was the | true date of signing. Lippard’s mn-‘l cied account of the ringing of the: Liberty Bell persists like the legend | of Washington's little hatchet—a moral tale, as we now know, created | in the mind of George's biographer, Parson Weems. The facte above, how- ever, come from the records of the Continental Congress, and are fully substantiated by letters and diaries of the time. Sessions Held in Private. ‘The ordinary legislative procedure was followed in adopting the Declara- tion. No more then than it does now did the ringing of bells or the collec- tion of signatures follow the taking of an important vote. A resolution, which declared “that these Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States,” was offered by Lee on June 7, 1776, and adopted July 2. This was the Declaration of Inde- pendence. It was o entered in the journal of Congress as passed. According to custom, all sessions of the Continental Congress were held in private. Word, of course, always got out concerning any important meas- ure. Thus, in the TPennsylvania Evening Post of July 2, flanked by advertisements for runaway slaves and Jamaica spirits for sale, there was briefly noted that “This day the Continental Congress declared the | United Colonies Free and Independent States.” On the following day the Gazette carried a similar item along- side an advertisement offering for indenture a “Dutch servant girl, healthy, strong, and good-natured.” ‘The news spread slowly, appearing in New York on July 8, in Boston three days later. The date of July 2 was everywhere given, however, and the people assumed that would always be the date of celebrations. John Adams wrote his wife on July 3, say- ing, “The Second Day of August, 1776, will be the most memorable Epoch in the History of America. * * ¢ It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illumina- tions from one end of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” Congress Shifted Date. . But Congress shifted the date to July 4 by proceedings which certainly did not contemplate that result. Congress customarily dealt with the bare proposition before it in order to limit the range of controversy. Next in order was the preamble or reasons for such action. A committee had been selected to draft a preamble in anticipation of the Lee resolution. It drew up such a statement, and it was on the table when Lee introduced his declaration. For two days it was con- sidered, revised, and trimmed. Then the preamble as written by Jefferson was adopted July 4. The vote was The Declaration Debunked Most Famous Paper in U. S.

Seventeen days after Lee's declara- tion had been adopted, Congress de- cided to have the declaration engrossed on parchment and signed by each member of its body. On August 2 this copy was ready. The members then present signed it, an unusual procedure and explained by McKean as a measure taken to “prevent traitors or spies from worming themselves among us.” It was a pledge of allegiance to action already taken. Some of these signers were opposed | to the Declaration, or had been on July 2. The names of some members who supported it were omitted from | the sacred parchment. Some of the | signers did not become members of | Congress until after July 4. One signer | DEFICIENGY BILL AGTION DUE SOON Senate Will Likely vote on D. C. Appropriations Next Monday. The Benate probably wili act Mon- day on the conference report on the second deficiency bill, carrying $45,000 to enable the District Health Depart- ment to start on a more intensive program for prevention of disease, and several other provisions of interest to Washington. To provide adequate accommoda- tions for the General Accounting| Office, the conferces finally sgreed | yesterday on the House plan of en- larging and remodeling the old Pen- sion Building in Judiciary Square, at an ultimate cost of $4,700,000, of which $2,000,000 is in this bill. Senate Amendment Accepted. ‘The House group accepted the Sen- ate amendment, giving the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion another installment of $800,000 toward the park development author- ization in the Capper-Cramton law, the Federal Treasury to be reimbursed later by District taxpayers. The House also agreed to the $150,000 for new pumps at the filtration plant, payable from water revenues. The Senate amendment calling for $2,550,000 to complete the air-con- ditioning of the Capitol, House and Senate Office Buildings was left un- settled, to be taken back to the House for decision. Aside from the local items already mentioned, the bill contains about $550,000 of miscellaneous deficiency funds for routine maintenance of Dis- trict institutions Although the health fund of $45,- 000 agreed upon in conference is $14,- 120 less than the Senate voted for, the compromise was looked upon as a decided step forward by members of | the Senate who handle District af- fairs, since previous efforts to obtain this additional health fund in the regular appropriation act failed two months ago. Senator King, Demo- crat, of Utah, chairman of the Di trict Committee, took the lead in reviving the item and having it placed in the deficiency bill. | Senate Conferees Yield. | ‘The Senate at first opposed remod- eling the old Pension Building after | District court officials pointed out it would interfere with carefully worked | out plans for grouping future court buildings in Judiciary Square. The Senate conferees had to yield in con- | ference, however. The conferees cut in half the Sen- ate amendment giving the Federal | Trade Commission $200,000 to con-| tinue its milk investigation in vari- | ous parts of ihe country.

This was | in Philadelphia. There was a pzu‘nde‘ and singing, guns were discharged and | bells rang all day and half the night. It was read from a small platform near the State House. According to | a diary of the time, “Very few re- | spectable people were present.” Lippard Has a “Good Stery.” That is the full story. But lack of fact did not hinder Lippard in his | account of the ringing of the Liberty Bell. He had a florid style, he was only 25 and he knew that he had the material for a good story. So he let 80 without thought of consequences. Everybody knows the story of how | Liberty Bell rang out its thrilling peals on the Fourth of July when the behina closed doors, crowds of anxious townsfolk gathered about the State House. In the State House steeple is| By his| side stands a flaxen-haired youth with | “laughing eyes of Summer blue.” The old man cannot read. The boy spells out the inscription on the bell.

The old man groans will have have to totter down the stairs himself. Then he hears a glad- some cry among the throng on the pavement below. Clapping his hands, the blue-eyed boy swells out his little chest, raises himself on tiptoes and cries the magic word, “Ring!” There are the answering shouts of the populace “as though an earth- quake had spoken.” And so on: the original account of the ringing of Liberty Bell on July 4, 1776. The grain of truth is that, like other buildings in which Congress had held sessions—in Baltimore, York, Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton, Lan- caster and New York—the State House at Philadelphia had a bell in its steeple. Otherwise, the tale is sheer romance, written in a moment of rapid creation by & youth with imagination. MEETING PLANNED FOR NAZI PROTEST Jewish Center Conference At- tended by 100 From Religious and Civic Groups. Preliminary plans for mobilizing sentiment in Washington against religious persecution in Germany and against alleged Nazi propaganda in the United States were made last night at the Jewish Community Center in a conference of approximately 100 men and women representing local Jewish congregations and civic organ- izations. It was decided to hold a protest mass meeting in one of the theaters here on or about August 15.
