THOMAS ATTACKS HOOVER IN SPEEC Tells Young Democrats of District Constitution Talk Is “Absurd.” The recent attack on the Roosevelt administration by former President Hoover drew a sharp reply last night from Senator Elbert Thomas, Demo- crat, of Utah, who told the Young Democrats of the District that since Mr. Hoover “did mnothing about the people’s depression, the people will do nothing about Mr. Hoover's personal depression.” “I wonder,” Senator Thomas said, “if the former President in his eager- ness to become President again, knows the Senate of the United States is Democratic and could not possibly be- come Republican within his second Cleveland type of term—if he should get another chance. “I wonder if the former President believes that with three years’ experi- ence doing nothing and with a do- nothing policy he could suddenly be- come the magnetic, personable, ex- ecutive and directing type of man it would take to motivate us—call us the 96 unmanageables if you please, but certainly 96 men who are not bossed or handled—to motivate the Senate into following his leadership, if he had leadership; carrying out his program, if he had a program, and helping him to develop his ideas, if he has ideas.” Thomas denounced as “absurd” statements that the Democrats were menacing the Constitution. He warn- ed against “lending credence to propa- ganda” or “becoming fascinated by a mere slogan.” Mr. Hoover's statement that his party faces its most momentous ques- tion since 1860 brought from the speaker the comment “if he means by that they are faced with the question of whether to nominate a progressive and stand some little chance, or nominate himself and thus finish the killing of the Republican party which was so nicely and appro- | priately done in 1932, then I agree with him.” AWARD OF PULITZER PRIZES IS LIMITED Board Rules Honor May Go to! Individual But One Time. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 18—Future Pulitzer prizes in journalism and let- ters will be awarded to an individual only once, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University an- nounced today in an article in the Independent Journal, published by the Graduate School of Journalism of the university. Dr. Butler said the change was voted by the Advisory Board of the journal- ism school. The limitation was recom- mended by a committee consisting of Kent Cooper, general manager of the Associated Press; Frank R. Kent of the Baltimore Sun, Dean Carl W. Ackerman of the Columbia School of Journalism and Ralph Pulitzer, chair- man of the board and ex-officio mem- ber of the committee. Dr. Butler explained that the | change does not restrict the award of Jjournalism prizes to a single news- | paper. Different individuals on the .8ame newspaper may receive the Journalism prize once.
