PEACOCK WINNER INFIGHTING FINISH Goes to Third Round by De- feating Twedcell—Rippy Beaten. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM, Staff Correspondent of The Star. GARDEN CITY, Long Island, N. Y., Beptember 15.—Roger Peacock, top- ranking amateur golfer of the Capital, came from behind today to win a sec ond-round match in the national amateur golf championship here, beating Dr. William Tweddell, cap- tain of the British Walker Cup team, 1 up. His victory advanced Peacock to the third round, where tomorrow he meets David G. Davis of Austin, Tex., who today beat Ross Somerville of Canada, the 1932 champion. “Claude Rippy, Washington's other outstanding hope in the tournament, was ousted, 2 down, by Max B.

By the Associated Press. NURNBERG, Germany, September 15.—The spread of bolshevism in Eu- rope, Adolf Hitler believes, will plunge the continent into a “sea of blood.” “I watch with fearful anxiety tbe developments in Europe,” the German chancellor declared in the closing speech of the annual National So- cialist Convention-iast night. “I have seen this danger clearly, but T do not belong to those who faint at the sight of f” the Fuehrer told thousands of applauding Nazis. P “We are entering a great period of history—a period in which not the wiseacres but the brave will come out on top. $ “We must be. ly for every sacri- fice God dem: of us. We must have that which is most indispensible of all, raw materials—the ore of the iron heart.” Hitler accepted the name the Rus- sian press gave to him after his caustic criticism of Jewry and bolshevism, saying: “They call me 8 wild man. All right. As a wild man I am a better Eu- ropean.” He scorned democracy with the comment, “It's all the same to us whether democracies hate Nazi Ger- many or not. One can love or one can hate Germany—but one could never destroy it."” “National socialism.” he said, “doesn’t care what beliefs are held abroad, but we won't tolerate lying re- ports about our teachings and inten- tions.” His final challenge to bolshevism came in a climactic warning: “If the Bolshevist military forces ever march against us, we'll throw them out as we did bolshevism itself. If our neighbors respect Germany's freedom, honor and equality, they'll find in Germany their best friend. “But if the Bolshevists try to open the gates to other countries, they'll find a new German army standing at Germany's door.” A showdown is coming—in one way or another and sooner or later—be- tween two schopls of political and economic theory, Hitler asserted. He named “bolshevism” as one school and instructed his listeners to realize that National Socialism in Germany is fully | prepared to fight against surrender “to the enemy we have come to know so well.” The Puehrer was the central figure at the concluding ceremony of the party session. He stood in front of his hotel as the flickering flames of lighted torches illuminated the medieval street. As the last blast of the Nazi buglers split the night air and the final roll of drums died away, the Reichsfuehrer raised his arm in the Nazi salute. The vast throng responded with a similar sign. A.F.G.E. (Continued From First Page) got the floor and announced he pro- posed to speak when the resignation was taken up. A recess delayed this discussion, but it was in prospect for today's ses- sion, as the presiding officer, George Googe, representative of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, who came here in the role of peacemaker, held that Babcock was entitled to talk as soon as the convention moved to act on his resignation. Applauded Wildly. Babcock was wildly applauded as he made his first appearance before the delegates, and observers immedi- ately began to speculate on the in- fluence he would wield in the pre- sumed election of his successor, which also was scheduled today under a special order of business. The faction that previously has been behind Babcock now is supporting Charles I. Stengle of the headquarters staff for the balance of the presidential term expiring next September, while the opposition is divided among other candidates. Babcock has declined to say what his course will be in the election, asserting his only interest in the convention is to force & show- down with a faction in the council he says is making him the “goat” for mistakes of their own.

Keep Lloyd George From “Stealing Show.” By the Associated Press. Long-secret documents disclosed yesterday that anxiety lest Lloyd Goerge “steal the show” caused Presi- dent Harding to rush out announce- ments of the Washington Disarma- ment Conference before final plans had been perfected. The documents were made public by the State Department after being held confidential for 15 years. ‘They consisted of correspondence between Charles Evans Hughes, then Secretary of State, and George Har- vey, then Ambassador to London, con- cerning preliminary arrangements for the conference, which met November 11, 1921, Acting on information from Am- bassador Harvey thas Prime Minister Greenbelt’s Aimis Town Ownership Feelin Civie Consciousness to Be Expressed in Citizens' Associations and Recreational Activities. Lloyd George of Great Britain planned to discuss the conference before the House of Commons on Monday, July 11, the President’s announcement of it was speeded to newspapers on Sun- day for publication Monday morning. Cables Buzzed Beforehand. Dates and times on messages re- vealed the cables between Washington and London were buzzing for several days beforehand as efforts were made to perfect arrangements and be first with the announcement. Secretary Hughes instructed Am- bassador Harvey at 4 p.m. July 8 to ascertain whether Great Britain would participate in a conference designed to limit armaments. Four hours later Harvey cabled the department that Earl Curzon, minis- ter for foreign affairs, had on July 5 requested him to ascertain if Presi- dent Harding would call a conference. Lloyd George’s Plans Revealed. Curzon told him, the Ambassador reported, that Lloyd George planned to discuss the proposed conference for a settlement of pacific and dis- armament questions before the Com- mons. Permitting Lloyd George to make the announcement, the Ambassador said, would allow him to achieve dis- tinction and place President Harding in a position “which I consider harm- ful and distasteful, of acting at the instigation of Lloyd George, thereby depriving himself of his rightful credit.” Harvey suggested “that this be fore- stalled” by the President making the announcement for Sunday or Mon- day newspapers, so that anything Lloyd George might say would merely repeat the President’s announcement, with “an expression of the British Building one of the main roads into Tugwelltown.

This is re- flected in the proposed local govern- mental setup, with the town council of elected citizens, and in plans to stimulate organization of civic asso- clations. The physical character of the town itself, a near-isolated community of homes, stores, & movie theater, school its residents. Greenbelt will have a close soclal structure, solidified in com- mon class and economic interests, if Resettlement's plans materialize. There will be no long, natural so- cial and physical growth here, as in the average community. Thirty-five hundred individuals will suddenly be thrown together as a mass of strangers. People, say sociologists, are naturally gregarious. Resettlement hopes this inherency will aid in the development of “community spirit.” government's acquiescence, as it should be.” .

Louis Brann, who opposed the Re- publican incumbent, Senator Wullnce: H. White, jr, would come to New York tomorrow for a conference at national headquarters. John D. M. Hamilton, chairman of the Republican National Committee: “The results in Maine are splendid. They forecast, in my opinion, a simi- lar victory in November. The major- ties received by the various candidates were more than we possibly hoped for. The returns that I have at the time of giving out this statement are prac- tically complete. They show that we have re-elected a Republican Senator, elected a Republican Governor, re- elected a Republican Congressman and taken the two other seats in the National House. “The net result in offices is that we have retained the seat in the United States Senate, the one seat which we held in Congress, and we have gained the Governorship and two additional seats.” Senator Frazier, Republican, of North Dakota—“I expected the State to go Republican. It is normally Re® publican, and I believe things are swinging back toward normalcy.” Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Ok- lahoma—“The result was to be ex- pected. Nobody is surprised and no Democrat is disappointed. Maine is & Republi State and it is natural that the voters should express their party sentiments. Maine has got on its feet, and there is a tendency on the part of the voters to fall back to their old party lines.” Government Control. The unusual feature of the town's social structure is its plan and con- trol. In operating Tugwelltown the Government, through the managing corporation, will hold the whip hand over society. Undesirables, chronic trouble makers, misanthropes may be effectively removed from the commu- nity by the corporation’s refusal to renew one-year leases. This, it is true, applies also to the city apartment house. But because the apartment is in an urban area, with its wide di- vertisements, and because the tenants are not chosen on rigid qualifications blending them into a mass of common interests, social activities in such a city community are generally limited to salutations in elevators and casual conversations in lobbies. Now, can the Government put across its ideal of a “town ownership feel- ing?" Will the community, aware of its tenancy character, assume a pro- prietary spirit? Will a certain natural family independence, born of city environment, defeat this end? The answers to these questions depend | upon Resettlement's success in fulfill- | ing the intent of its current planning. | The administration will make every attempt actually to socialize these people. For instance, in its pater- nalistic way, Resettlement has already planned its first step when the town opens—a meeting of the new citizenry for an explanation by Manager Roy Braden of the residents’ “duty to the town.” The Government's hopes for the planned community will be thor- oughly promulgated at this gathering. Braden will stress the need of co- operation between them. Even in their first attempts to orient them- selves, Greenbelt townsmen will be guided by the Government. To hasten this socialization of Greenbelt's populace, Braden will urge formation of citizens’ associa- tions by town blocks. He will also advocate a federation of these asso- ciations to represent popular opinion. Residents will be “invited” to engage in such tommunal activities as ama- teur dramatics, sports, town forums, etc. Local politics will unify the citi- zens in partisan groups as they align themselves with candidates for the Tugwelltown council. As in the nor- mal rural community, women's clubs, Feeding Orphan Squirrels When an unidentified hunter killed “Pegqy,” a Saturday, he made orphans of four baby squirrels, owned by einweber, 5612 Edgemoor lane, Bethesda, Md.

Braden frankly expects to encoun- ter the usual anti-social difficulties of the normal town. He is aware of the many complexities-of a coloniza- tion experiment. Prompted by the universal disparities of religious be- liefs and temperament, the usual in- ter-family squabbles over children and household pets will constitute a major portion of these difficulties. But Resettlement is confident these inher- ent social problems of the community can be solved. It is confident that “town ownership feeling will permeate the spirits of the townspeople, will gather its own momentum after im- petus by the administration.” In planning for the community recreation has played a major role. It is an important phase of healthful living, an integral part of any ideal social structure, Greenbelt is a town dropped into the midst of a natural recreational | area literally abounding with fleld: and woods. Tugwelltown's facilities | are ample. For instance, there is the 24-acre, nearly mile-long lake, fed by in- numerable springs and draining a 600-acre area. Water is now slowly piling up behind the earthen dam. ‘Workers are dumping gravel along the wooded shore to form beaches. Re- settlement paints an attractive pic- ture of the lake's use—children swim- ming, adults boating, others fishing in the stocked waters while some picinc amid the surrounding trees or in a special area behind the dam. That is the image of the future. Ice Skating is Planned. In the Winter there will be ice skating and impromptu hockey games. in the Fall, there will be walks through the bordering woods. And the lake perennially serves a scenic pur- pose as townspeople gaze on the glit- | tering sheet from their homes on the | horseshoe slope at its head. | Original plans to construct a wading pool for children have been abolished in favor of utilizing the site for a| playground for all residents—young- | sters and adults. But playground ap- paratus—horizonal bars, swings, per- haps a volley ball court or grassed bowling alleys—must be supplied by the town after settlement. The ad- ministration will not equip the exer- cise space. “The administration feels,” to quote an official, “that not too much should be done for these people. Let them fill out as much of this program on their own initiative as possible. It will build up community spirit and save the Government money.” A logi- cal explanation, but is it entirely con- sistent with other resettlement so- cialization plans? WIll the people take { that initiative? How far should this New Deal paternalism go? More problems for these purveyors of the more abundant life.

Early told newspaper men the Pres- ident has no intention or thought of setting up a Federal Insurance Bureau and Insurance Commission, or a De- partment of Insurance. “The whole subject of the manage- | ment of insurance,” Early said, “will | be left, as in the past, to the insur- arce superintendents of the various States. “I say this because it has been gen- erally booted around that the Gov- ernment is about to take over in- surance. . “The purpose of today’s conference is to find out the present financial status of insurance companies to see how it has improved since 1930, and to see what the Federal Government can do in the way of helping them further to improve their situation. “If these ways of assisting are ex- plored today, as they will be, it is be- lieved ways will be found without cost to the Federal Government and the policy of this Administration will be one of assistance and help- fulness.” Agreement in 1930.

Here, free from the all-side- walk-street character of the average urban front yard, children may play and adults may chat. These areas will serve as “front porches,” since the houses have none. Attempting to preserve the park- like nature of the town site, resettle- ment has spared all trees not directly interfering with construction. There has been no wholesale, indiscriminate clearance of timber. Trees have recreational, in addition to esthetic and land-saving qualities. Even the graveyard, tucked away on the edge of the green belt of sur- rounding trees (source of the town's name), has felt this emphasis on rec- reation. Bordering the area, already containing the tombstone of & project worker, is a path interspersed with hewn-log tables and benches. This will perhaps some day be the main channel of communication with a huge 1700-acre area a mile from the town. Once extensive farm land, | the abandoned flelds and wooded clumps may some day be developed into a huge park. Resettlement is considering transfer of this territory to the National Parks Service. Recreation and Relaxation. Recreation is not all exercise. It is also relaxation. There will be the movie theater and the school audi- torium. Resettlement hopes to use these for furtherance of an educa- tional program now under considera- tion by planners who visualize large adult attendance at scientific movies and learned lectures. Here, also, amateur dramatists will develop their talents: Experts on recreation will tell you, however, that facilities alone do not guarantee utilization. This depends | upon another factor—formation of a definite recreational program. In Washington today, for instance, there are many recreational facilities un- used because of no planned activities for their use. Base ball leagues must be organ- ized, tennis tournaments must be staged, swimming must be taught if the facilities are to reap the harvest of health, are not to lie fallow because a program is lacking. Full-time directors must be em- ployed to supervise activities and stim- ulate interest in recreation. Resettle- ment has promised inclusion of such directors’ salaries in the town budget. E Present plans contemplate hiring of organizers by the corporation. But if these items are omitted from the final list of the corporation’s expenses, if resettlement also puts this respon- sibility on the people to “build up community spirit,” the potential ben- efits of the lake, the playground, the athletic fleld and other valuable as- sets will be nullified. People must be induced into recreation if the mass is to be affected.

Knox, speaking at Helena, Mont., last night repeated his Allentown charge that life insurance and savings accounts are endangered by the ad- ministration’s fiscal policies, and said “the present spending policy leads straight to inflation.” He emphasized that his Allentown statement referred only to the value of money, not to the solvency of any concern. “It is not the insurance companies or the savings banks that are un- sound,” he said. “They are as safe as the Rock of Gibraltar. It is the administration of the American Gov- ernment that is unsound.” Because of a reduction in the dollar'’s purchasing power, he said, “the value of every life insurance policy and every savings account has been reduced.” Secretary of the Treasury Morgen- thau, asked yesterday about Knox's Allentown charge, said: “The time to worry about that (life insurance and savings) was three years ago. There is nothing to worry about now.” In administration circles here, it was said ;sn':wmenu had gone out from certain urance companies telling policy holders that continued New The COLLADAY SEES VIGTORY OMEN G.0.P. Committeeman Here Calls Maire Results Lan- don Weather Vane. Predicting the Republican victory in Maine marks the beginning of & triumphal procession throughout the country, Edward F. Colladay, Repub- lican national committeeman for the District, returned to Washington to- day after a speaking campaign in the Pine Tree State. He left Chicago Tuesday for Mainé and spoke four times during the last few days. “It was a very intense campaign” he said, “with both sides putting forth every effort to win. I believe the sweeping Republican victory rep- resents a definite solidifying of opin- jon among the farmers and small business men against the New Deal. “Supporting the Democratic ticket was an impressive array of speakers, including a member of the cabinet, an ambassador and Jack Dempsey, but their combined efforts could not stem the tide. Personally, I think this sweep of Maine is significant and presages a national victory for Gov. Landcn in November.” Colladay traveled from Portland, Me, to Albany, N, Y., and was strongly impressed by the size of the crowds that turned out to greet the Governor en route. He said he talked with former Presi- dent Hoover on his trip and was ad- vised by him not to waste time on doubtful outlying States. The Re- publicans, he quoted Mr. Hoover as saying, should center their efforts on big States like Pennsylvania and Michigan. % Colladay said he expects to zpend much of his time between now and November working in Marylan<, where he thinks the Republican charces are good. He also still has hope Florida will be in the G. O. P. column. He said the absentee vote in the District will turn out 100 per cent strong, and that local campaign fi- | nances are in good shape.

KNOX REAFFIRMS ATTACK. By the Associated Press. HELENA, Mont, September 15.— Col. Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential nominee, almed at Presi- dent Roosevelt today a declaration that the President'’s own 1932 statements bore out Knox's recent charge: “No lfe insurance policy is secure, no savings account is safe” under present New Deal policies. Knox made the assertion, reaffirm- ing an Allentown, Pa., speech Sep- tember 5, as insurance company execu- tives prepared to meet with the Presi- dent. Knox received word of the confer- ence as he toured Montana yesterday. | He threw away the major portion ¢f a speech prepared for delivery in Helena last night and wrote a new one, reopening his assault on the Allentown topic. His characterization “did not refer to the condition of any bank, any in- surance company or any other private enterprise,” but instead “refers solely to the value of the money in which insurance is paid and savings are kept,” Knox said. After Knox spoke in Allentown, a Pennsylvania official threatened to sue the nominee, citing a State statute which forbids imputing insolvency to a financial institution. His Allentown statement, Knox said, “could only refer to the blind squan- dering and credit adulteration by the Government.” “But & partisan and publicity-seek- ing political department head of Penn- sylvania has seen fit to question this statement, and deliberately construe it as an attack on the banks and in- surance companies.” National Scene BY ALICE ROOSEVELT LONGWORTH. INCINNATI, September 15.—The most effective way for the opponents of the New Deal to persuade the country of the evils of the system they are combatting is to expose in each locality the use of political pressure and the fan- tastic projects for wasting public money that are going on in the neighborhood. Both sides in a campaign can generalize in patriotic plati- tudes, and one may be about as convincing as the other, But specific examples of local boon- doggling and improper partisanship in one's own town, county or State is more convincing than any amount of high-flown oratory. Something of the kind is under way in Pennsylvania, where the New Deal activities are being taken apart and publicized. An instance cited is that of a W. P. A labor gang that worked for four days shoveling snow to make Alice Longworth. a path for a New Dealer's cow. There is con- siderable humor in many of these typical cases, but it is costly fun for the taxpayer. (Copyright, 1936.)
