- NEWDEAL SCORED | AS DESPAR CREED Dickinson Says Philosophy of Defeatism Will Not Win Youth. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES. Iowa, November 9.— Benator L. J. Dickinson told a na- tional meeting of Young mnublicnn‘ leaders here today that youth can-| not be deceived and will not be won | over to the “defeatism” philosophy of | the Roosevelt administration. The Towa Senator. persistent critic | of the administration, branded the New Deal creed one born “from fu- tility and despair,” a “defeatist course | which can only end in national dis- aster.” E He professed to see signs of the| end of “this era of crackpot solutions | for complex economic problems.” Youth, intensely practical, he said, s seeking economic reality. Middle Course Proposed. “Were the Young Republicans to| write the next party platform,” he | gaid, “the very first plank * * * would call for the ending of political bunk, | and the sending into exile of those who make cempaign promises, cyni- cally forgotten once they gain power. | George Olmstead, national Young | Republican chairman, in the key- | note speech at the opening session of the three-day convention, proposedl the charting of an “American way'— middle course for youth. About 150 delegates registered as the session got under way in the afternoon. They represented States in all sections of the country. Offi- cials of the organization's headquar- ters said four more delegations were on their way and that seven other State organizations sent “best wishes.” The regular session recessed after the addresses, while the Young Re- publican National Executive Commit- tee met to plan the program for the | remainder of the threc-day meeting | and to dispose of business matters. Senator Dickinson, an arch foe of | the Democratic national administra- tion, protessed to see only national disaster as the end of the present na- tional course and urged on young Re- publicans as patriotic citizens the “duty” of seeing that a “thorough realization of the dangers of this defeatist ‘New Deal' program is brought home to the public.” Responsibility on Young.G. O. P. Olmsted placed on the shoulders of young Republicans responsibility of charting the trend of what he said | was a growing “youth movement,” a | *“common ground upon which young Americans—young in age and young in spirit—can unite. | “This new way—the American way—should avoid the bureaucratic or political tyranny of the New Deal on the left and the economic tyranny of the old order on the right,” he said.

Mrs. Murray to Speak. Mrs. Anna E. Murray, vice president of the District of Columbia Public Bchool Association, will address mem- bers of the Barry Farm Citizens’ As- at a meeting of the organ- ‘uesday at 8:15 o'clock at the the body was burnt in the basement fireplace Friday afternoon when other members of the household were away. Bowers said he has information from people who were in the house on Friday night that Brown drove away about 6:30 o'clock after re- marking that “we won't be troubled with Silva any more. I've done away with that.” Bowers will face Brown with this information at Rockville Jail today, he said. The body was found shortly after 7 o'clock yesterday morning by a motorist on the Dickerson-Dawson- ville road about 18 miles from the home which Silva occupied with Brown and the Smith woman. Sil- va's car, which Brown admitted using on Friday night, was found about 2 miles farther along the pike, where it had been abandoned after two blow- outs. Teeth Clinched Identification. Bowers said this morning that the artificial set of upper and lower teeth of the dead man clinched the identi- fication. The Smith woman and sev- eral cf Silva’s acquaintances, includ- ing two colored residents of Doubs who were questioned her last night, told police there was no doubt that Silva is the dead man. Police found a burned hat belong- ing to Silva in the fireplace at Silva's home, while charred fragments of burlap sacks matching those dis- covered beside the body also were lo- | cated in the fireplace, along with | particles of human flesh and tiny| rivulets of blood. | Bowers said the Smith woman is | being held as a material witness for | the State. She is the only witness who is being detained, although the State's attorney admitted that a num- ber of others, including the Harris girl, had given authorities “much valuable information.” Smudges Found on Car. On the car were strange smudges, similar to blood, which confused Brown in attempting to explain. Brown was taken before State's Attorney James H. Pugh of Mont- gomery County, at Rockville, by Jack Allen, a reporter of The Star, who | found him at the Silva home. Brown was questioned at length and taken to the undertaking establishment in Rockville, where he was faced with the charred remains. He said he did {not know who the man was and de- | nled having anything to do with the | murder. Brown changed his story in trying to explain the smudges on the auto- mobile. These marks appeared on the back of the front seat. In the car were alsc found fragments of where the body was discovered, about 15 feet from the road, 14 miles from Rockville. In the car was also a bottle apparently used to dip gas out of the gas tank. Reporter Traced Car Tag. Brown's first explanation of the smudges was that they were caused by some charred wood which he had hauled in the car. Later, on ques- | tioning, he changed this story to say that the smudges were caused when he burned some rags on the floor of the car to make & light so he could see to change a tire.

S. Entry Second in Competi- tion for Bowman Challenge Award in New York. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, November 9.—Capt. Fred A Ahern, veteran member of the Irish Free State team. tonight rode his giant jumper Gallow-Glass to victory over the officers and more than 50 of their picked mounts of six nations to take the coveted Bowman Challenge Cup at the National Horse Show in Madison Square Garden.

Earl F. Thomson for runner-up honors. sending Ugly, vie- tor two years ago, over the course in 325 seconds—the same time regis- tered by his teammate with Tanbark, which was victorious in 1930.

D'CONNORDEFENDS FUND INSURANCE F. D. I. C. Is Indestructible, He Tells Meeting of Bank Supérvisors. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, November 9.—Controller of the Currency J. F. T. O'Connor said today the “man on the street” was entitled to the protection afforded by the Federal deposit insurance. “God knows he needed it,” O'Con- nor said in an address before the Na- | tional Association of Supervisors of State Banks, as he gave figures to show the “stability and soundness” W. & J. Sloane of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. “Every banker in this Nation, as long as he has been a banker, has in- sured deposits,” O’Connor contended. “Public and State officials took out the banks' best bonds to insure thelr‘ deposits. It was hard to explain to| the man on the streets why he| shouldn’t have the same protection.” | Thanks Are Side-tracked. | In its resolutions, the association | did not act on a motion made Fri-| day by Controller J. M. Lee of Florida | to thank the F. D. 1. C, the R. F. C. | and the “bankers of the Nation” for | “getting us out of the crisis of 1933.” It did, however, pledge itself to “co- | operate with all agencies to the full-| est extent possible consistent” with | “the maintenance and permanent continuance of the dual system of banking and the preservation of State banks.” Indestructability Shown, i O'Connor cited figures relating to the capital, resources and past opera- 71 * A5 tions of the F. D. I. C., which he said show its “indestructibility.” Regarding competition between the National banking system and State banks, O'Connor said “in my opinion the banking acts of 1933 and 1935 tend more toward standardization for banking in the country than toward unification.” Harold W. Horsey, Delaware State bank commissioner, was elected presi- dent of the association. and Detroit w;n.s selected as the 1937 convention city.
