< ML OF POLTES SPEDS 1S PACE Farley Asserts New Deal Brought Upturn—Mott Denies Recovery. By the Assoctated Press. Grist from a quickening political mill today included a Democratic declaration that an upturn in indus- try results from New Deal policies and a Republican assertion that the recovery problem is where it was March 4, 1933. In industrial New England, Chair- man James A. Farley of the Demo- cratic National Committee opened a drive for delegates pledged to Presi- dent Roosevelt at the. Philadelphia convention in June. Speaking to young Democrats at Manchester, N. H., he said, “economic suicide for New England” would result from a sudden halt in emergency ex- penditures as demanded by New Deal critics. “Federal relief money,” he said, “is the measure between good times and cesperate times in New England.” Weird Crowd of Professors. Representative Mott, Republican, of Oregon, on the other hand, said in a broadcast under the auspices of the | Republican Congressional Committee, that industrial recovery and farm solvency are “just where they were when the New Deal came into power.” He attacked governmental advisers, whom he termed “a weird crowd of professors and subprofessors.” Mott assailed the new farm program as “transparently unconstitutional,” adding that “its only real purpose 15 to keep the farm checks moving until after the November election.” A defense of the “brain trusters” came from Secretary Ickes. Speaking at Howard University here, he said, | *“entrenched privilege” was responsible for attacks on “men of trained in- telligence, called in by the adminis- tration to meet the social and eco- nomic crisis it had inherited.” Fights in Primaries. Primary matters occupied the politi- cal observers in California, North Dakota and New Mexico. In California two members of the | E. P. I. C. forces who had bolted from the Democratic delegation to the na- tional convention went back to the fold. ‘The men are J. Stitt Wilson and John Packard. both members of the Upton Sinclair group. With eight | others, they had quit when State | Chairman Culbert L. Olson charged that Senator McAdoo would have con- trol of the delegation. In returning to the fold, Packard said he believed “the re-election of President Roosevelt is of paramount importance.” Republicans in California were hav- ing primary difficulties. While a com- mittee completed a slate of uninstruct- ed delegates, as favored by former President Hoover, there were threats of a competing slate pledged nomi- | workers to join the ‘walkout. | was no response and police dispersed Strike (Continued From Pirst Page.) work this morning. Replacement ! workers took over most of the ele- vator posts left vacant by strikers. Some of the buildings not yet af- fected by the strike, but which, it was indicated at union headquarters, would be objects of concentrated action be- fore nightfall, are the Empire State, Chrysler and Chanin Buildings and Rockefeller Center. The “surprise move” at which James J. Bambrick, president of the local unit of the union, hinted yesterday turned out to be an attempt to call out workers in the New York Stock Exchange Building. It was not suc- cessful. About 20 members of a strike com- mittee went to the building at New and Wall streets and, shouted to the There the strikers without disorder. Flying Squadrons Active. During the night flying squadrons of strikers, making lightning raids to force out employes who refused to an- | swer the walkout call, battled guards and non-striking workers, From the Upper Bronx to Green- wich Village police squads, answering night radio calls, found smashed doors, shattered windows and cut elevator nally to Gov. Frank Merriam, Two Bismarck Conventions. ‘Two conventions met in Bismarck, N. Dak, today to indorse Republican candidates for office, as a result of a split among Non-partisan Leaguers, members of the dominant faction of | the party. Former Gov. William Langer was the issue. Harry Peterson, chairman ot the State Executive Committee, sought “elimination” of the Langer innuence, and called upon delegates opposed to Langer to meet separately. However, the former Governor's sup- porters claimed a majority of the delegates to the regular convention. After Peterson’s action, other mem- bers of the committee announced his Temoval as chairman. Landon Is Indorsed. In the first State Republican con- vention of the current campaign, the New Mexico organization yesterday unanimously indorsed Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas for the presidency. However, the delegates recommended for the national convention will not be instructed. Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of | Michigan, another whose name often | is mentioned in connection with the coming convention, defended the Su- preme Court and the Constitution in @ broadcast last night.

Police figures set the number of strike-affected buildings at almost 1,000, with 20,000 workers on strike. Most seriously affected were apart- ment houses. Mayor La Guardia, to relieve the distress of tenants, pro- claimed a civic emergency and ordered all city departments to co-operate with the Health Departmen. in main- taining vital services. The business district faced growing difficulty when services of charwomen and porters were lost to skyscraper office buildings, In most of the Wall Street buildings they either did not report for work or were sent home be- cause there were no facilities for them. Firemen manned elevators through- out the night, moving sick.persons and calming tenants who were alarmed lest boilers in their buildings had not been properly tended. Activities of the Fire Department were increased about 100 per cent, offi- cials estimated. Extra men were de- tailed to all stations to carry on the extra curricular duties. Tenants in many strike-affected buildings, inexperienced in tending furnaces, kept the fires burning. No serious blazes were reported, however. Police received several reports of substitute workers and building super- intendents being taken for “rides.” They were not harmed or threatened, their captors simply arguing with I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR debts other than those made by myself.

We are conducting it in our own way. We do not want you to take charge of it,” Blanton told Ballou.

Questioned on Text Books. Most of the examination of Dr. Ballou was confined to text books and periodicals that have been ques- tioned by George E. Sullivan of the | Federation of Citizens’ Associations League (Continued From First Page.) that Emperor Haile Selassie’s armies | have been crushed, Italian sources said. Some pessimism was reflected in Italian quarters, where the view was held that the oil threat only added to Rome’s difficulties in considering & peace appeal. A report that Premier Mussolini's representatives had informed Flandin that Italy would leave the League and denounce the Locarno Pact if an oil embargo was adopted, however, was denied officially. All League sources agreed that this program marked perhaps the | most critical juncture for the League | in its efforts to bring about East {and to the background of the char- acter education experiment. Blanton attempted to trace the character education experiment to Charters, Beard and Counts. In the end the subcommittee eliminated the $72,000 appropriation approved by the Budget Bureau for continuing that | work. The same situation arose last year and resulted in the Red rider being written into the measure in confer- i ence. It was a compromise between | House and Senate that placed both | the character appropriation and the rider in the bill.

Our officials have been associating with left-wing- ers.” “You are referring to the Com- mission on Social Studies?” “Yes, madam.” “I personally do not agree with what I understand is the general opinion of that commission,” Mrs. Doyle answered. “But what has that to do with the Washington schools?” are in the schools,” Blanton answered. “They are 'so closely allied and identi- fied here that it makes it a serious question that I think the board mem- bers ought to go into carefully.” Sullivan, Fries Charges.’ Sullivan and Gen. Amos A. Fries also appeared before the committee and repeated in general the state- ments they previously had made be- fore the School Board and before the Kennedy Committee yesterday hear- ing evidence on the Sisson bill to repeal the red rider. H. Serkowich, clerk to Representa- tive Jenckes, Democrat, of Indiana, submitted a series of documents to show a tie-up between communist ac- tivities in*Washington and the Soviet government. He was supported in the testimony by Lieut. Horace Lineburg of the Police Department. ‘They testified there is a school in Washington where communism is be- ing taught, but failed to tell where 1t is located. Clippings told of charges against Communist activities at Howard Uni- versity that for some time were in- vestigated by Secretary Ickes of the Interior Department. Describes Soviet Conditions, Fred G. Lange, editor on industrial leadership, 1349 Euclid street, who said he had lived two years and nine months in Soviet Russia, described conditions in that county, but he did not testify regarding the Washington schools. Maurice R. Robinson of Pittsburgh, editor of Scholastic, a magazine under fire from Sullivan and Fries, defended the publication and its use in schools in many cities of the country. Mrs. Edward Chapin, representing the American Association of University Women, appeared and testified that she favored the teaching of all forms the schools. CLAIM FOR $101,121 TAX REFUND LOST BY CLUB By the Associated Press. The Lambs Club, famous New, York theatrical organization, lost in the Supreme Court yesterday a claim for refund of $101,121 Federal taxes paid between 1920 and 1929. ‘The highest court refused to re- view the rullings-of the Court of Claims, which denied recovery.

C, CHICAGO SLAYING 1S LAID T0 BOAST Police Link Killing of An- thony Demory With That of McGurn. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 3.—The slaying of Anthony Demory—third of his clan to meet a gangster’s end—today was linked to the assassination of his half- brother, “Machine Gun Jack” Mec- Gurn. Supervising Capt. John Stege an- nounced his belief Demory died be- cause he had boasted: “I know the guys that killed Jack. I'm going to get them.” The striking similarity of the two executions prompted the official theory that they had been carried out by the same trio of gunmen. Demory, 24, was playing cards with three others in a “Little Italy” pool room last night. Three men, their faces shadowed by overcoat collars, walked in. They brandished pistols. The leader cried: “This is a stick-up.” A score of patrons—among them Anthony’'s brother, Joseph Demory, rose. Ten Shots Fired. Ten shots were fired at Anthony. Three struck him. The assailants fled. Just 17 days ago, three gunmen, shouting “This is a stick-up,” slew McGurn—master machine gunner for Al Capone—in a bowling alley. Demory, wounded in the head, shoulder and side, died in a hospial within an hour. He was unable to talk. Mrs. Josephine Gebardi Demory, mother of the victim, sobbed: “First Vincent, then Tony. My Tony, they didn’t have to kill you.” As officers led Joseph away for ques- tioning, she ealled after them: “They want to get him, too. Take care of him.” Father Slain in 1923, McGurn—his right name was Vin- cent Gebardi—was the child of her first husband. Demory was the son | of her second husband, Angelo Demory, | an alcohol cooker, slain in 1923 a block | | from last night's murder scene. Weird Crowd Keeping Re- TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 103, PROFESSOR GROUP SCORED BY MOIT covery Where It Was, Says Representative. By the Associated Press. Representative Mott, Republican, of Oregon charged last night that a “weird crowd of professors and sub- professors” are keeping industrizl re- covery and farm solvency “just where they were when the New Deal came into power.” The President and his “brain trust,” Mott asserted, “have substituted exec- utive dictatorship for representative government and regard the Constitu- tion merely as a necessary evil.” In a radio address under auspices of the National Republican Congres- sional Committee, Mott said two major problems—industrial recovery and farm solvency and the destiny of agriculture—faced the Roosevelt ad- ministration at the outset. The N. R. A. was the solution to the first and the A. A. A. to the sec- ond, he said. \ “But with the N. R. A. held invalid nearly a year ago and no legislation even hinted to replace it,” Mott satd, “that problem is right where it was on March 4, 1933.” 99,000 Visit Cuba.

The woman, now the widow of Mc- Gurn, appeared at the county morgue at midnight to view Demory’s body. She was questioned by Stege. ‘Two pistols were found near the pool room.
