MCARL PREDICTS | RELIEF GASH LACK Assails Budget Statement in Forecasting Quick Ex- haustion of Funds. Relief appropriations intended to serve through next June will be quickly exhausted, former Controller General John R. McCarl said yes- terday in assailing President Roose- velt's 1937 budget statement. The President’s “so-called revision of the 1937 budget is probably as favorable to his administration as any statement could be in the cir- cumstances,” McCarl declared. “The figures, for the most part, are no more than estimates, however, and as such give no more assurances except a purpose to continue extend- ing relief in about the most waste- ful manner possible, and consequently such prompt exhaustion of relief ap- propriations intended to serve through June, as to necessitate immediate de- mands upon the new Congress for an additional half billion dollars.” McCarl said Mr. Roosevelt’s pro- posal to “use the Treasury working balance to reduce borrowing, if actu- ally followed out, will be helpful. It will not only avoid interest costs, but will- tend to minimize temptation, as a large Treasury balance is always a temptation to go on a spending spree. The continuing growth of the public debt, which now seems to be regarded as the regular order, is all but reassuring.” PHYSICIAN IS ARRESTED WHEN AUTO HITS FENCE Dr. Harry J. Crawford Required to Post $600 to Face Two Charges in Court. Running his auto into an iron fence at the ninth precinct police sta- tion when he attempted to make a turn, Dr. Harry J.

Murphy was standing in front of the precinct when Dr. Crawford maneuvered his machire in & court used to park the patrol wag- on and scout cars.

Rivals Together at Drought Parley Quite fraternal-appearing are President Roosevelt and Gov. yesterday at the Des Moines drought conference. Standing with Gov.Landon, behind the Presi= dent, are Senator Dickinson of Iowa, Senator Gore of Oklahoma and Gov, Cochran of Nebraska. Roosevelt (Continued From First Page) Roosevelt summed up his impressions | of the day's events. Gov. Landon termed the Chief Ex- ecutive “a very fine, charming gen- | tleman.” “I had a very pleasant time” he informed newsmen. “A very pleas- ant time.” Advisers of the Governor reported the “business” meeting of the rival presidential contenders was “chatty and friendly.” The opponents, they added, sat side by side at the desk in Herring’s private office and discussed “every aspect of the drought problem.” At the luncheon Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Landon sat two places from each other. At the President’s dinner for the seven Governors Landon sat at Roosevelt’s left and Herring at his right. A White House assistant summed up the dinner conversation as the kind you would expect from intelligent people.” It lasted 1!'2 hours. As Landon, enjoying a cigarette, stepped from the President’s car he told reporters: “We visited about everything—a great many things, lots of things.” Participants in the drought discus- sions said Mr. Roosevelt took an active part and that the subject-matter cov- ered W. P. A, funds for farmers, water conservation projects, feed and seed loans and reduced freight rates in the stricken areas. Senator Lester J. Dickinson, Iowa Republican, who has long opposed the New Deal, stepped up to a loud-speaker microphone at the State House and told the assembled spectators: ““There’s a splendid crowd here and no politics anywhere.” The President declined to make any speeches. The Kansan was the only Repub- The other Governors were Herring of Towa, Cochran of Nebraska, Park of Missouri and Marland of Oklahoma— all Democrats—Petersen of Minnesota, a Farmer Laborite, and Phillip La Follette of Wisconsin, a Progressive. President Roosevelt left Des Moines at midnight for Hannibal to dedicate a bridge across the drought-shrunken Mississippi River today. Then he planned to swing across Illinois on his special train and confer this after- noon with Gov. Henry Horner at Springfield. Saturday at Indianapolis, Ind, he will talk with Governors of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Ken- tucky. Then he will go direct to Washing- ton, where Sunday night he will re- port to the Nation by radio on the results -of his 5,000-mile tour of the drought States. Gov. Landon, who motored 270 miles to Des Moines from Topeka to confer with the man he is campaigning to oust from the White House, started back to Topeka last night as soon as he finished dining with the President. He stopped for the night at St. Jos- eph, Mo, leaving at 11:45 am. (E. S. T.). He spend the night at the home of W. C. Clark, a friend here. Here is the way Harry L. Hopkins, Federal W. P. A. administrator, and other Federal officials summed up the estimates of peak W. P. A. and reset- tlement relief needs submitted by the seven Governors, as compared with those now receiving aid: Oklahoma Missouri owa Nebraska Kansas Minnesot. ‘Wisconsin CROWD AWAITS PRESIDENT. By tne Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ili., September 4.— Tlinois Democrats turned out in full force today to welcome President Roosevelt to Springfield for s drought “ow 12860 12560 g0 conference. State offices were closed at noon and employes swelled the throngs. The President was met by Gov. Henry Horner and State Democratic leaders at Hannibal, Mo., where the Chief Executive dedicated a bridge. The Springfield program called for him to place & wreath on the Sarco- phagus at the tomb of Abraham Lin- coln; then confer with State officials and farm leaders at the executive rmmansion. IREGIMENTING HIT IN KNOX SPEECH that matter in the hands of Mr. Wal- lace or Mr. Tugwell or some other political accident.” “At one time during the N. R. A. hysteria it was seriously proposed at Washington to have the Government start propaganda to encourage mar- riages in order to bodst the market for furniture and kitchen ware. In “|due time such a government under- “Security Talk Monstrous in View of Banks Swollen With U. S. Bonds.” By the Assoctated Press. LEWISTON, Me., September 4.— Col. Frank Knox, campaigning as Re- publican vice presidential nominee, de- clared last night “it is monstrous to talk about security when banks are swollen to the explosion point with Government bonds.” “You do not get security under regi- mentation,” Knox said in an address prepared for delivery before a party rally here. “You lose everywhere. “It is an evil thing to tax workmen in 1937 for old-age pensions 30 years away, when the hard-earned dollars they pay out now may be worth 10 cents or 1 cent or nothing in the future. Experiment With Livelihood. “There is no security in a Govern- ment that experiments with the liveli- hood of the people, that practices vivi- section on the Nation's economic body.” Knox swung into Maine today 11 days in advance of the Maine State elections. The vice presidential candidate came to Lewiston on the fourth day of his travels through New England aboard a special six-car campaign train, which had previously taken him through Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. He is to speak again today in Dover- Foxcroft. Knox said New England had faced, besides the depression, “a New Deal that taxed her industries and restricted her production and ter- rorized her finance,” adding that it was “a New Deal in which a joker in Washington was running wild.” What kind of Federal Government the Nation is to have Knox declared to be “the real issue.” Individual Interference. “One kind proposes to enter into every activity, interfere with every in- dividual. It does not say ‘Please keep off the grass’ It says ‘We'll grow the grass and, if we think best, we will make you eat it. We have put HOM of takes to tell the people what they shall eat, what they shall wear, when they shall marry, how many children they shall have, what they shall think and what their children shall be taught. “Does this sound like exaggeration? Draw a line across Europe from Spain to Russia. You will find living along 1t 300,000,000 people goose-stepping to the orders of government in every aspect of their lives. At Washington they have one Government bureau with 13,000 employes whose job it is to plan to move American citizens from one place to another, like cattle. It is an inalienable right of merican citizens to live where they choose. The present administration is the first in mtl’ff-ln history to tinker with this Woman Captures Heron. SYRACUSE, N. Y.

PARIS, Septemer 4.—Between 90,- 000 and 100,000 Spaniards have been killed during the civil war between Fascists and Socialists, the newspaper Petit Journal declared today. Petit Journal, asserting its informa- tion was “well documented,” said only 15,000 or 20,000 have been killed in actual fighting. The remainder, in- cluding many women and children, were declared to have been “victims | of reprisals.” Previous, careful estimates of the | death toll had set the figure at be- tween 75,000 and 100,000. —fiuid Ileai— L.
