FASCISM THREAT FLAYED BY ICKES Economic Security for Aver- age Citizen Urged to Pro- tect Democracy. By the Assoclated Press. | DETROIT, December 4—Secretary Ickes declared today that economic security must be assured the average | citizen if democracy in the United States is not to be supplanted by | Fascism. “Our rugged individualists have al- ready undertaken an active and well- financed campaign looking toward a return to power that will make it pos- sible for them to continue to grow \ ever richer while the great mass of the | people become poorer and poorer,” he | said. “* * * I warn them that they are putting a lighted match to a keg of powder.” Fascism Alernative. “The issue is Fascism or the Amer- fca of the founding fathers,” Secre- tary Ickes, who addressed an audience in the Detroit Town Hall, said. “I say this fully conscious of the deliberate effort that is being made to cause us | to believe that communism constitutes the real threat to our liberties. Com- | munism is merely a convenient buga- boo. * * * It is the Fascist-minded men of America who are the real enemies of our institutions through ® ¢ their solidarity, * * * and their ability and willingness to turn the wealth of America against the wel- fare of America.” Mr. Ickes said that the Brookings Institution had reported 16,000,000 American families, or 60 per cent of the total number, received an annual income of less than $2,000, although “a family income of $2,000 may be re- garded as sufficient to supply only basic necessities,” at 1929 prices. “What we are face to face with is the proposition whether the American standard of living is such as to assure the minimum requirements of our people as to comfort, health and gen- eral well-being,” he said. “If our standard of living is not that high, it 1s not high enough.” Slum Clearance Defended. Secretary Ickes said that while| groups in Detroit and elsewhere had assisted the administration in its numerous slum clearance projects, that “their help and encouragement * * * have been nothing as compared with the opposition that we have had to meet from men who have nothing but extreme distaste for an under- taking by the Government that would clean out those festering pest-holes that we call the slums * * * and re- place them with decent dwellings.” Secretary Ickes said opponents of the Roosevelt administration “are as lack- ing in effective remedies for our social and economic ills as was their admin- istration prior to March 4, 1933. They are the modern exponents of do- nothingism.” Committee (Continued From First Page.) meeting of the Democratic National Committee a considerable time before the 1932 convention and an effort was made to have the committee recom- mend to the convention what should be done about it, the committee de- clined to do so on the ground it was the business of the convention and not of the National Committee. A similar position might be taken by the committee with regard to the two« | the earth, THE EVENING Army Plane Carries Two to Death Photo shows the Army plane which crashed, killing two men, this morning in & ravine between Bt.

(Story on Page A-1) against the Roosevelt New Deal, Farley said: “So far the poll relates to sentiment in the Midwest States, like Towa, it is 100 per cent wrong.” He insisted that the President was very strong, not only in that section of the country, but \n every part. “The President will carry as many States next year as he did in 1932 | said Farley. Roosevelt carried all ex- Farley | said he believed Roosevelt would win | cept six States at that time. the electoral vote of Pennsylvania, one of the States that voted for Hoover in 1932, and that also there was a good chance of carrying New Hamp- shire, another of the Hoover States. Sees Victory Over Landon. “Do you think President Roosevelt can carry Kansas if the Republicans nominate Gov. Landon to run for President?” Farley was asked. “Yes,” was the prompt answer. “How about Senator Borah, if he is the Republican nominee?” “The answer is,” sald Farley, “that Borah won't be nominated.” He characterized former President Hoover's recent New York speech as | the speech of a candidate, and said it was “different” from other Hoover thirds rule, he said. Farley ridiculed reports that Senator | *“Honest Vic” Donahey of Ohio or | some other prominent Democrat would v be nominated in place of Vice PIESl-i dent Garner to be the President’s| running mate in 1936. | “Such reports are asinine,” said Farley. “Of course Vice President Garner will be renominated.” Donahey Defeated West. Donshey, never strong for the New PDeal, was nominated for the Senate Jn 1934 over the opposition of the administration forces, led by Farley. The administration rushed Charles {West, then Representative, into the | ght, but West was defeated by nahey. Farley Insisted nothing had been | decided about the city in which the Pemocratic convention is to be held. “I understand that Chicago, Phil- adelphia, Kansas City, St. Louis and | Ban Francisco may make bids for the ronvention,” he said. Atlantic City has been discussed in thé press as a ble bidder, but Farley said he new nothing about that. “The convention is likely to go to ghe city which makes the highest bid,” he - continued, “provided that it has the proper facilities for caring for the delegates and an ample convention hall.” Farley said he knew nothing of the geport that Philadelphia had definite- been selected for the convention, or at the President wished the con- wention held there. He said Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania had been mov- ing in the interest of Philadelphia as & convention city, however. Guffey is chairman of the Democratic Sena- torial Campaign Committee. “It ‘will make absolutely no differ- ence politically where the convention s held,” Farley commented. Chicago Bid $200,000 in 1932. Chicago won the convention in 1932 With a bid of $200,000, which the late Mayor Cermack boosted to $250,000 on his own responsibility. Farley could not recall what the city finally did contribute. The meeting of the Democratic Na- tional Committee will be held here Just about the time of the Jackson day dinner. The members of the commit- dential campaign. support Senator Norris, Roosevelt Republican, for re-election speeches. “I still think Hoover dominates the | Republican party,” continued Farley. Gov. Talmadge of Georgia, Demo- cratic national committeeman for that State, is expected to attend the committee meeting, Farley said. Tal- madge is a bitter foe of the President and his renomination. However, Far- ley said, there would be no attempt to dislodge Talmadge at the commit- tee meeting. “I am not worried about Tal- madge,” he said. Farley’s attention was called to the fact press reports showed Gov. Curley of Massachusetts, one of the original Roosevelt men, had announced he in- tended to run for the Senate next year. 'The seat he will seek is now | held by Senator Coolidge, a Democrat. “Is that okay with you?” Farley was asked. “That is a Massachusetts situation,” he replied. “I am not going to be in- volved in that.” He said he believed the Democratic squabbles in Colorado and Ohio would be ironed out before the coming presi- Asked. if he would independent next year, Farley said: “I am thoroughly in mecord with the President’s views regarding Sen- ator Norris' re-election.” The Presi- dent said recently Norris should be re-elected Senator as long as he lives. Norris has been gunning for Farley for a long time, declaring the latter should not hold a cabinet post and at the same time be chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Farley would say nothing about re- ports that he would resign from the cabinet the first of the year to give his entire time to running the presi- dential campaign. However, as the committee meets January 8, it would be a good opportunity to make the that Farley was about to leave the cabinet and confine himself to the duties ‘of national chairman have been published for the last year and a half or more.

Reports || tion will support & Democratic can- didate for the Senate in Minnesota if Gov. Floyd Olson, Farmer-Laborite, but friendly to Roosevelt, becomes a candidate for that office, Farley nould not say. The chairman expressed the hope the old Democratic committee deficit, amounting now to something like $400,000, would be wiped out by the time of the next convention. Commenting further on the Literary | Digest poll on the New Deal, Farley | said the poll had béen wrong in 1934, | showing that the Republicans would | carry Maine, while the Democrats | carried the State by 30,000 votes. ] e COLONIAL WARS BODY NAMES DR.
