A—20 PRINGLE'S ANSWER HITS NEW DEAL Reform Federation Man Op- poses Repeal, Security Leg- islation, Hog Program. Henry N. Pringle, assistant superin- tendent of the International Reform Federation, has replied to President Roosevelt's letter asking advice of the clergy. He criticized the President for repeal, social security legislation, the hog reduction program and other New Deal measures. “As mayor ex-officio of Washing- ton,” Pringle wrote, “you know that your three Commissioners are trying | to govern the city well and police it properly, but doubtlessly you noticed that traffic deaths almost doubled in | 1934; that liquor shops increased to | 1,878 (half more than ever before), | end that there were 8,814 more intoxi- cation arrests and 13,809 more felony cases than in 1932, the last year of no-license. | “Does not this show grave miscal- | culations as to the effects of repeal, | or general disregard of the liquor re- strictions in party platforms and your public addresses? The ‘New Deal’ | seems tolerant of the worst enemies of | our country, or timidly avoids dis- pleasing them. We regret that your pen made Washington a prize-fighters’ metropolis; you signed the bill, which crowded it with saloons and boot- leggers; the first case of liquid in- sanity, following repeal, was delivered at the White House and accepted. | Your words are beneficent, but some of your acts confuse us, whe believe in toil and frugality and in sobriety and purity.” VETERANS PAY TRIBUTE AT RITES TO “LAST MAN” Capt.

St. Marys Loses Only Cobbler and Shoes Go Soleless Special Dispatch to The Star. LEONARDTOWN, Md., October 7.-~Gone but not forgotten is the fate of Joseph Dobrey, who moved recently to Baltimore, and in his absence the country storekeepers who sell shoes find reason for great rejoicing. Dobrey was a cobbler, the only one in St. Marys County. He decided business would be better in Baltimore, where his father formerly operated a shoe repair store. His departure leaves the 15,000 residents of the county faced with the choice of buying new shoes as soon as their old ones wear out, or meking a trip to Washington to have them re- paired—which probably would cost more. It is reported a few rugged individualists will attempt to give themselves new soles. WOODRIDGE GARDENERS WILL MEET TONIGHT | J. M. Gamble to Speak on “Rose Gardens of Europe” at Opening Session.
