KNOX AGAIN RAPS PERIL T0 SAVINGS “Dance of Death” Goes On, He Says, Assailing Roosé- velt “Squandering.” By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, Pa, October 2.— The campaiga artillery of Col. Prank Knox, Republican vice presidential nominee, smoked today from a new assault on President Roosevelt, de- livered at close range. Knox walked on Pittsburgh's po- litical stage 30 minutes before the President spoke in the same city, only six blocks away last night, and used the occasion to reopen previous charges that money policies of the administration endanger insurance and savings. The Republican quoted a speech which the President delivered four years ago in Pittsburgh, when cam- paigning against the Hoover adminis- tration. “It is not easy to describe the char- acter of this spending,” Knox said as he accused the President of *squandering.” “In your city, just four years ago, Gov. Roosevelt used up all the really suitable words, about some relatively small deficits the Republican adminis- tration had at that time.” Recalls Roosevelt's Charge. He quoted the President as calling the Hoover administration’s financing “reckless and extravagant,” and asked: “If a deficit of one and a half bil lons makes us ‘catch our breath,’ what does a four and three-quarter billion deficit make us catch?” It was in Pennsylvania, in an Allen- Police ling Al Smith last night.

D. O, FRIDAY, URGED BY WALLACE Agriculture Secretary Also Assails Landon in Ne- braska Speech. By the Assoclated Press. BEATRICE, Nebr,, October 2.—Sec- retary Wallace last night linked an appeal for the re-election of Senator Norris of Nebraska, veteran inde- pendent Republican, with a statement that Gov. Alf M. Lendon is asking & return to “1932 conditions.” Of Norris, whose independent can- didacy has the support of the State Democratic organization, although former Representative Terry Carpenter is the Democrsiic nominee, Wallace said: “This grand old warrior has fought and won more battles for human rights than any man in Congress. * * * I came to Nebraska today first of all to express my profound respect for him and my great hope that the people of Nebraska will return him to the United States Senate where he can continue his devoted service to government for the people.” Lauds Norris’ Stand, Speaking under auspices of the Kiwanis Club here, the New Deal's Agriculture Department chief said Norris had stood without flinching against “the merciless pounding of swarms of lobbyists for the few big and powerful interests” which, he said, “are always demanding the defeat of farm legislation in order to continue their freedom to exploit the farmers. He urged Nebraska farmers to recall “the disastrous conditions which marked the desperate years that led OCTOBER 2, 1936.

October 2.—In gay, holiday dress, this center of the | dairy industry drew more than 10,000 visitors to its own mardi gras as the sixth Piedmont Virginia Dairy Pesti- val became a colorful reality today. Amid a scene of natural beauty, | Virginia's veteran member of Con- gress, Senator Carter Glass, officially | opened the day's activities by placing a metal crown on the brow of Miss Elise Miller Triplett to designate her | Regina VI as a prelude to the pa- geantry program of the morning. Flanked by a court of 14 princesses, the queen received her honor cn a raised platform in the amphitheater at Annaburg, historic showplace of the town, before a huge semi-circle of spectators. Her white gown con- trasted with russet cloaks of the princesses and a green background. Previously, a concert by the United States Marine Band and the proces- sional, sung by Prince William County school children, had announced the start of the forenoon program. A history of Piedmont Virginia was next unfolded in dramatic form on the outdoor stage by 500 school chil- dren in costume under direction of | Miss Mary Cabell Callaway of Alex- andria. They revived Capt. John Smith. the Algonquin and Doeg Indians and Brent to depict the first settlers. A lively fight between the Indians and white men climaxed the scene. Two other scenes, one of the present, with | the dairy and the humble cow re- ceiving their share of tribute, and another of the future followed. Earlier this morning, Future Farm- ers of America and 4-H Club mem- bers participated in a cattle judging contest, festival. { Along a route decorated with tri- color dairy flags of green. yellow and white, the “Milky Way Parade” pass this afternoon before the sixth annual dairy festival takes its .place in history with other yearly events | since 1930. Seven bands, a score of farm and commercial floats, civic and agricul- tural organizations and school units will make up the main body of the procession, which will be headed by | the queen and her court. | Members of the queen’s court are | the following princesses from coun- | ties and cities in the Piedmont | | region: Mrs. Thomas DeLashmutt, Arling- | ton; Miss Janice E.

Words Sound Well. conditions! Never were corn and hogs and cattle more plentiful than in that year.” Wallace said Landon's words “sound well in a year of drought, especially to some people in the East.” But simply the political pastime of second- guessing, " he contended. “Imagine any one making such a statement after a series of years of more normal weather,” he said. “Imagine him in 1933 patronizingly patting the ragged shoulder of a farmer and pointing to his cribs of 20-cent corn and his feed lots of $3 hogs and cattle and asking that he | find his satisfaction there.” Wallace said cash income from farm production in Nebraska rose from $148,000,000 in 1932 to $225,- 000,000 in 1935. “Fortunately the record is written, not in hollow phrases which may sound well to some people in abnormal | times of special stress, but in terms of | simple facts,” he declared. . i Roose\ elt (Continued From First Page.) | | ing out on his first campaign invasion | of the West Dedicating the new Medical Build- ing, President Roosevelt declared the medical profession could ‘“rest as- sured” the Federal administration contemplated “no action detrimental ! to their interests in carrying out the | health provisions of the social security act. i “The doctors of the Nation want mzdic\ne kept out of politics,” he asserted. “On occasions in the past attempts | have been made to put medicine into failed and always will faill,” he said, lddml | “Government, State and National, will call upon the doctors of the Na- | tion for their advice in the days to l‘ come.” | “Box Scores” Compared. that jammed Forbes Field last night make his half-hour talk on finances and relief. Pittsburgh Pirates, at which he com- pared “box scores” of the past and present administrations, was filled by & wildly cheering capacity throng that flowed by the thousands out onto the fleld. Park officials said the stands themselves seat 35,000. Contending his administration had “much to show” for increasing the national debt by a “net” $8,000,000,~ 000 to help pay for relief as an “in- vestment in the future of America,” the campaigning Chief Executive as- serted President Hoover had “little to show for the $3,000,000,000 by which he “increased” the same debt. Carrying the contrast further, he said the $8,000,000,000 was little com- pared to the “billions” that were sent abroad between 1920 and 1930 for armaments and “foreign boondog- gling,” which he asserted were “gone for good,” and additional billions loaned to Europe during the war. Declaring the national income had risen from $38,000,000,000 in 1932 to $53,000,000,000 last year and may go above $60,000,000,000 in 1936, he con- cluded: “If it keeps on rising at the present rate, as I am confident that it will— the receipts of the Government, with- out imposing any additional taxes will ‘within & year or two, be sufficient to care for all ordinary and relief ex- penses of the Government—in other PIONEER OIL BURNER “The Daddy of Them Al SOLD, INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY James E.
