SARCASM GREETS JOHNSON'S STAND Michelson, Publicity Head of Democrats, Compares His Statements. By the Associated Press. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson's recent strictures of the administration | brought Democratic National Commit- tee comment yesterday from Charles Michelson, publicity director. After quoting from past Johnson opinions, Michelson congratulated him “on the happy coincidence of his | present-day opinions with the (Satur- | day Evening Post) magazine's desire for such material.” Michelson also noted that although the Republican National Committee publicized portions of Johnson’s ar- ticle, it failed to note that Johnson still is supporting President Roosevelt as “the single effective exponent of the | policy of do-something as against all the exponents of the policy of do- nothing.” Theme Song of the G. 0. P. “Just now,” wrote Michelson, “the theme song of the Republicans—gen- uine or sympathetic—is that President Roosevelt went back on his pledge on the money question. “Because he subscribed to the doc- trine of a sound currency, and later on took us off the gold standard, and changed the gold content of the dollar, he is accused of faithlessness and in- consistency. “The incident that the American dollar is the soundest unit and the most stable of value in the world today, and that our Government bonds the above par is ignored. Even my old campaign colleague, and later chief in the N. R. A, Gen. Hugh Johnson, records, more in sorrow than in anger, that the otherwise perfect N. R. A. ‘was wrecked ‘by the fiscal heresy and the currency-tinkering experiment.” Recalls Earlier Statements. “Now, I am the last person in the world who would charge our lovable volcano with insincerity, but an in- convenient memory sends me back a little over a year.” Thereupon, he quoted Johnson as having said “the charged debasement of the currency is a joke. * * * The “‘Roosevelt dollar’ will remain the best money as long as he sits in that chair.” Citing the present Johnson denun- eiation of “brain-trusters,” Michelson proceeded to quote from another 1934 speech of the general: “Whatever brain trust Franklin Roosevelt main- tains is going to be a trust of the best brains of a cross segment of the whole United States. * * * There is a brain trust in Washington all right, but the brain is that of Franklin Roosevelt.” M'ADOO TEACHER DIES KNOXVILLE, Tenn., November 2 () —Miss Rose McClanahan, taught Senator William G.

Y, November 2.— | President Roosevelt tonight was sur- | | rounded by members of his family at | | an informal reunion, preparatory to a | family picnic in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains tomorrow after- noon, and a visit to the polls Tuesday.

The only voting members of the President’s immediate family absent were Elliott Roosevelt, who is living in Texas, and Franklin, jr, who only recently attained his majority, who could not leave his studies at Harvard | University, but who plans to vote. ‘There are several in the Roosevelt official family, who also will vote by | mail in Tuesday's elections.

L3 ANATEUR PHOTOS Hails Grid Game To Be Played in Washington Announcement Has Done More to Stir Popular Interest Than Any Other Special Dispatch to The Star. MEXICO CITY, November 2.—An- nouncement here today that an in- ternational all-star high school foot ball game will be played in Wash- ington on the afternoon of Novem- ber 29 was received with wide ac- claim throughout the city and has done more to stir popular interest and enthusiasm in the sport down here than anything ever has done. Soccer fans, who prior to today game, The ‘government is encouraging this newly awakened enthusiasm with all the resources at its command. A few weeks ago, when the University of Mexico team was playing Lamar Col- lege, an army plane was sent from Mexico City to Nogales, Ariz., to se- cure an impartial referee for the event. As one reason for their sup- port, officials say that American foot ball develops qualities of quick ac- tion and quick thinking, tenacity and discipline among young people to a greater extent than any other sport. Game Becoming Popular, Until a few years ago soccer was | the only form of foot ball known in Mexico. American foot ball is of com- | paratively recent vintage here and is only beginning to take the outstand- | ing place which it holds in United States amateur sporting events. It ‘thas been played for about four years in the high schools of Mexico City, at the University of Mexico and at the Military College, but only this year has really begun to take in a big way. One drawback has been the even climate in Mexico, which allows foot ball to be played all year around. As a result, no regular season has even now been fixed for foot ball or any other sport, with the result that no one sport received sufficiently con- centrated attention at any one time. The first boost this year for the game was the engagement of Dixie Howell, Alabama star of last season and leader of the Crimson Tide in its sensational battle for the United States’ championship, as foot ball coach at the University of Mexico. The second boost was the appoint- | Thing. ment of Robert P. Martin as coach of the all-star team composed of picked players from the technical schools. Martin Has Advantages. ‘Though Martin is not so well known on the other side of the border as the famous Dixie, he has a cer- tain advantage in his choice of foot | ball material. The boys of the tech- | nical schools are younger and more | malleable, They are stronger and tougher than the Mexican University men, because the technical schools which they attend develop brawn by ing along with the regular high school curriculum. They have a tendency, however, not to realize their own pow- er, partly because they have never tested it against a crack United States team of like age and weight. Martin was the first person to convince them, as well as educational and administrative officials, that the boys were good enough to be allowed | to go to Washington at the invita- | tion of The Washington Star, and to demonstrate their prowess before a packed stadium of critical American spectators. He has been organizer, coach and Dutch uncle to the boys, | drilling them with a precision and strictness that is new to some of the foot ball players in our technical schools. If they don’t win that game, it won't be Mr. Martin'’s fault! On Championship Team. Martin himself was trained to the discipline of the United States Army Air Corps, and played as quarterback on a team which won the champion- ship of the Army. In spite of his | somewhat slight physique, he has bat- tled gobs and leathernecks, and has suffered some pain in the noble cause of foot ball. The game 10 years ago it is today. Martin's own career as a player was cut short by an acci- dent, when, playing under the old rough-and-tumble rules, five oppo- nents tackled him with excessive vigor and sent him to the hospital for four months. Needless to say, he is today a strong believer in the clean-cut, modern type of play, and his abiding motto is “a clean game above all.” of health and physical education, and including the five foot ball coaches: Hap Hardell, Tech; Lynn Woodward, Roosevelt; Daniel Ahern, Western; Hardy Pierce, Central, and Arthur Boyd, Eastern.

President Roosevelt [team or an all-team selection will be has been a member of this outfit for 25 years, This informal gathering will be followed immediately by a meeting of the President with the rector and vestrymen of St. James’ Church. Mr. Roosevelt is the senior vestryman. In making known the President’s meeting tomorrow afternoon with the Hyde Park fire-fighters, Secretary Ear- 1y said they will take this occasion to present Mr. Roosevelt a 25-year mem- bership badge. A number of close friends and neighbors will be guests at the Roose- velt home at supper tomorrow night. Good Wili (Continued From First Page.) and arrangements are being made for their presentation in concert during their brief visit. The band will be under the command of Gen. Vicente City. The Mexicans, a party of 125 per- ing day, just in time for a workout En route, however, a lengthy stop will be made at San Antonio, Tex., where the boys will stage a squad drill after a parade through the city's principal streets with the band leading the way. Special Train Chartered. A special train already has been chartered and will leave Mexico City on November 22. From San Antonio, the train will proceed to St. Louis, ar- riving there on the morning of Nov- vember 27 and will leave two hours later for Washington. ‘While advance information on the personnel of the team has not yet been received in full, Robert P. Martin, for- mer star of the University of Detroit and later of the United States Army Air Corps, coach, has written to Wash- mngton that five of the eight backfield men on the squad formerly attended school in the United States. The outstanding stars of the team are: A youngster named Villareal, formerly a pupil at Bergen High School, Yonkers, N. Y.; Pinnal, for- merly of El Paso, Tex, and Dur- rand, former Los Angeles high school made is up to the coaches and athletic directors. Both plans are being con- sidered, and regardless of their de- cision, all the high schools in the city will take part in entertaining the visiting Mexican boys, including ‘Woodrow Wilson and Anacostia, new schools, neither of which has a team at present. Aside from the game itself, the youthful visitors will be given the opportunity to see Washington ‘and a program of entertainment, including a reception at the Mexican Embassy, is being worked out. Cardenas to Send Message. President Cardenas has announced that he will send a message of greet- ing and good will to President Roose- velt to be delivered by the team. The youths will be received at the White House during their four-day visit. The trip to Washington will be the first ever made outside Mexico by a high school team. Their foot ball season coming earlier than that in Washing- ton, the city championship series, corresponding to Washington’s, al- ready has been played. The group of 30 was relectec from the participating teams and Coach Martin says it rep- resents the best available player ma- terial in the Latin American ecapital. Although foot ball has long been a traditional game here, it has been only during recent years that the game has been played in Mexico. Mexico City, being the capital, has taken the lead in popularizing the sport there and already the game has made great strides in appealing to popular imagination. Word from there indicates that much enthusiasm has been aroused with the announcement a few days 8go that the game had been scheduled. Much good will is expected to result in the friendly exchange of sports be- tween the younger boys of the two countries. Similar sentiment has been ex- pressed by school and Government officials here and many elaborate plans to make the game a success are being made. Evangelistic Services Set. star.

Services -rddwm:mnewmw night at 7:45 o'clock, Relief (Continued From First Page.) granted approximately $1,253,773,573 to wind up direct relief and the old work-relief program while its new $4,- 000,000,000 job-making effort got un- der way. In Hopkins' absence yesterday, spokesmen for his organization de- clined to comment on reports that John Stutz, State relief administrator for Kansas, had telegraphed a pro- test to him against his statement earlier this week that Kansas had “never put up a thin dime for relief.” Fehr Statement Ignored. Hopkins had linked this comment at a press conference with a remark that Gov. Landon of Kansas, men- tioned as a Republican presidential possibility, had balanced his State budget by “taking it out on the hides of the people.” Neither was there any comment on a statement by Ed Fehr, assistant to Kansas’ Democratic State auditor, that $215,000 of State money had been expended .in Kansas in the last six months under a $775,000 appropria- tion made last Winter for administra- tion of Federal relief. As to progress in the works pro- gram nationally, Hopkins has said he now has enough money to put 3,500,- 000 persons to work and- that a “big bulge” in the number actually em- ployed this month will make possible an end to all Federal grants for di- rect relief by December 1. He warned at his most recent press conference | that after that date there would be no Federal help even for States lacking | funds to support unemployables. Daughters to Hold Luncheon.

STYLE AND SAFETY SEEN IN NEW CARS Thousands See 1936 Mod- els at Twin Shows Open to Public Daily. With many mechanical improve- ments, the new 1936 automobiles were shown yesterday and last night to thousands of Washingtonians at twin shows held at the Calvert Exhibition Hall, 2701 Calvert street, and at the Mayflower Hotel, where there is an exhibit exclusively for General Motors cars. The cars are marked by a more general trend toward streamlining and a blending of contours into rounded surfaces and an attempt to bring even more safety factors inio the new cars by more liberal use of steel frames and top structures. Sixty-five models of 21 different makes are on view at the Calvert Ex- hibition Hall, which has superseded the Washington Auditorium as the scene of the show, while many models of the six General Motors cars are on display in the east lobby and the ball room of the Mayflower. The May- flower show will be open week days from 9 am. to 11 pm., while the show at the Calvert street hall will be open from 11 am. to 11 pm. General Mo- tors models are also shown at Calvert Hall. Officially opening the shows yester- day, Joseph B. Trew, president of the ‘Washington Automotive Trade Asso- ciation, and Floyd Akers, in charge of the Mayflower General Motors ex- hibit, issued a cordial invitation to the public to vew the new cars. There’s no charge for the Mayflower show, while a charge of 25 cents dur- ing the day and 40 cents at night is. being made at the Calvert street ex< hibit. Both shows end Saturday night. Outstanding among the innovations on the new cars is a trend toward abandonment of running boards, with the door sills ending flush with the floor of the car, permitting passengers to step right out of the car to the street; general use of the steel top; bigger cross-section tires; liberal use of cromium plate on radiators and fronts and many mechanical improve- ments tending toward greater ease in driving. The Cord car, pioneer of the front-drive automobiles, has re- turned to the show with a startlingly modernized automobile, a feature of combining industrial labor and train- | judges, headed by Mrs. Sarah Delano | Which is retractible head lamps, along with a new treatment of the radiator. ‘The new Lincoln Zephyr, a Ford prod- uct priced in the middle range at around $1,200, also attracted many visitors to the show with its unusual lines. — U.
