Arrangements for memorials to Will Rogers will be made by a commission headed by Vice President Garner. This goup, the Vice President an- nounced last night, is “to crystalize the Nation-wide sentiment which calls for some tangible expression of the regard in which Will Rogers was held by people in all walks of life.” Memorials have been suggested for the late cowboy-humorist’s native city of Claremore, Okla, and his adopted State, California. “There may be other communities that will want especially to honor his memory,” it was added. Jesse Jones Treasurer, Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Re- construction Finance Corp.,, will be treasurer of the commission, and checks and contributions toward the memorials should be addressed to him. Gov. E.

DELUSION AND FA LAID TO NEW DEAL Chester, General Foods Corp. Head, Tells U. S. to Voice Protests. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, September 23.—A call for the man on the street to recover his speech, “stilled so long by shock and bewilderment,” was issued here today by C. M. Chester, president of General Foods Corp. Chester condemned the New Deal before executives of leading business firms in the United States, meeting here for the two-day session of the Boston Conference on Distribution. “Delusions we have suffered aplenty since March of 1933,” he said. “The promises of a ‘New Deal’ de- luded up into a false hope of a new and better life for all, with assurances of well-being and happiness for the average. man and woman, the worker and his family, and the business man * * ¢ “We—the world’s traditional flag bearers of the cause of liberty—sur- rendered many of our rights to the new horde of public jobholders. They | were supposed to be our agents in running the essential machinery of Government. But they took advantage of our economic distress and our sacri- ficial and impractical mood by assess- ing billions in taxes ® * *.” Turning to the treatment of busi- ness under the New Deal, Chester asserted it “has been forced to endure unbelievably fantastic experimentation —all to make a bureaucratic holiday. Business is the administration’s guinea pig.” | i | 14321434 P are the foundation of civilization. | Plenty of : FREE | | PARKING | At All Hours | for Customers | | Washington’s Largest Paint Store Has MOVED to: Street N.W.
