B the Associated Press, PITTSBURGH, October 14.—Wil- liam N. McNair—the unpredictable— changed his mind about resigning as Mayor of Pittsburgh, plunging City Hall into a legal maze today. “Council didn't accept my resigna- tion in a legal manner,” said McNair, “so I thought I'd better straighten it all out so the City Hall will have & proper Mayor again. “I knew that Council didn't go abouf it right. I could have told them how to do it; but lt wasn't my responsibility.” Law Requires Day Delay. His former secretary and former city solicitor, Gregory Zatkovich, ex- plained that the law requires one day’s consideration by Council of any resolution or ordinance. He said the resolution accepting McNair's resigna- tion seven days ago was introduced and passed the same afternoon. Acting Mayor Cornelius D. Scully, President of Council, declined to rec- ognize McNair's letter to Council wimdnvmz his resignation, and signed “William N, McNair, Mlyur. Scully said; ““There is no letter.” . “No Standing as ’M:ynr" He explained: “He has no standing as Mayor. It doesn’t mean a thing. If he wants to take steps in court, he can.” “The case will go to court all right,” said Zatkovich, McNair, meantime, remained in his little law office, where he retired after resigning suddenly seven days ago, with the statement, “I had to get out and let Council run the city; that's the only way it can be run.” Landon (Continued From First Page.) the route at stations where the “Sun- flower Special” slowed but did not stop. Five rear-platform talks and confer- ences aboard the train with Michigan Republican leaders today preceded an | overnight stop at Grand Rapids, home of United States Senator' Arthur H. Vandenberg, who accompanied the candidate. “I admire and believe in him; I hope he is elected,” Ford said in a statement after conferring with the Kansas' Governor. “I am not criticizing the New Deal,” Ford continued. “I am only saying that we have had enough of it, we have had about all the country can stand.” The veteran industralist, who talked with Landon together with his son Ed- sel, stated his position for the first time just before Landon headed his campaign forces toward Grand Rapids. The candidate said the New Deal was a “threat to our American, form of government” in an address last night before thousands massed tn the chill wind-swept American League Base Ball Park. Landon will be the guést tonight of .| Senator Arthur H.' Vandenberg.. The Reépublican nomihee faced a busy day of .campaigning. Elaborate. prepara- tions had been made to welcome him at thefivesstops he will make en route and at Grand Rapids, the overnight stop. Landon will make his final Michi- gan appearance at Sturgis, at 11:40 a.m. tomorrow. Reaching Grand Rapids at 7 p.m., Gov. Laridon will k at the railroad station befare going to a hotel, where he will attend a reception and spend the night. At Grand Rlpids the paths of Gov. ‘Landon’ and ‘President Roosevelt will cross, The presidential tratn is sched- uled to reach the Western Michigan city at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow. Gov. Landon’s train leaves at 9:25 am. President Roosevelt will be en route to Detroit for a speech tomorrow night. Concentration of power in the hands of President Roosevelt, Landon said | P.m. in the third major address of his Lake-States campaign, represented the “first steps” toward destruction of the “rights and liberties of the people” which would make the executive “all powerful.” Promising, if elected, to ask repeal of all laws “giving autocratic powers to the Chief Executive,” Landon called upon his Democratic opponent to “tell us before election day just what amendments to the Constitution he has in mind.” This reference to the President was followed by booes from the audience before Landon continued: “By his silence on this he is at- tempting to dodge the fundamental issue of this campaign—the issue of whether he intends to change the form of our Government—whether labor, agriculture and business are to be directed and managed by Govern- ment—directed and managed by poli- ticg, » v © “It is the first duty of Government to protect us * * * from the abuses of concentrated power, * * * If the Federal Government does not have the authority * * * I shall favor Congress going to the people openly and ask for such powers through a constitutional amendment. The people must be given full opportunity to debate the issues involved before they take the momentuous step of chang- ing the Tharter of their freedom.” L ...don Held Worker’s Ally. Ford pictured Landon as “a business man who knows how to make both ends meet” and who “ate out of a dinner bucket for years and still thinks along with the men who carry dinner buckets.” “I gained three very distinct im- pressions of him,” the tall, thin auto- mobile ‘magnate said. “First, he is exceptionally well informed and has experience along many lines; second, hé is abie to speak his mind in the frankest possible way—he is open and honest in his opinions; third, he knows where he stands because he has thought things through. - “Gov. Landon’s mind has not been warped.” My judgment would be that { | he would be a hard man to turn from % [the American way of doing things. * * * He knows the difficulty of the job before him, but he believes he can make adjustments that will help everything move along more smoothly. I think he can.” Turning to the social security law, Ford said: “What disturbs me is that the New Deal is now making to the the workmen the same impossible promises that it made to the business Ford’s estate. because they were set at depression levels. And mow ‘social security’ is defined at the level of about 50 cents | a day 20 years from now, “Everybody must know . that ft doesn’t mean anything. * *'* Pre- tending to create security for a se- lected ¢lass in an insecure system is a cruel joke—especially when you take their money for it.” Ford said New Deal “intentions may have been good, but its perform- ance was very poor.” “As & manufacturer,” he said, *I have beerr its special target for about three years, but I don’t hold that against it—it has kept me thinking. All of us have to thank the New Deal for keeping us on the alert for our country.” Without naming Ford, Landon drew applause in his open-air speech when he said the automobile industry “re- sisted”” N. R. A. and “one of its most | distinguished leaders never signed the code of the Blue Eagle.” “What built the automobile indus- try, which has done so much for the country - and its - people?” Landon asked. “The very qualities that this administration holds up to scorn— American initiative, American en- ergy and American frugality. - Yet to- day we ,are told that initiative must be comtrolled, that energy and hard work must be restricted, that saving has become a crime against society.” Domination Held Main Goal. Contending that “Congress in ef- fect gave up its constitutional pow- ers” 50 that Mr. Roosevelt “has been able to accomplish indirectly what the Constitution forbids him to do directly,” the nominee said unfavor- able Supreme Court :decisions were “mere annoying setbacks” to the New Deal drive for “a more and more powertul Chief Executive.” % “The price of economic plnnnmg is mk: {reedom,” he said. “And economic freedom and personal lib- erty go hand in hand. “Remember the threat to our eco- nomic freedom in the first two years of this administration. Remémber ‘how step followed step until finally it | was made a crime, punishable by fine or imprisonment, to grow potatoes, to 'sell potatoes, even to buy potatoes, un- less they came within a quota fixed by Washington. And remember that threat was killed because the justices of the Supreme Court respected their olth of office.” : Quickening his campaign pace with the election only s little more than a fortnight away, Landon headed westward with a program of six rear platform addresses today. Stops were scheduled at Flint, 11:30 am. (Eastern standard time); Lans- ing, 1:20 pm.; Jackson, 3:05 p.m.; Battle Creek, 4:33 p.m.; Kalamazoo, 5:15 p.m., and Grand Rapids, 7:15 To Visit Indiana Tomerrow. The candidate will spend the night at Grand Rapids, pushing southward into Indiana tomorrow. The text of Henry Ford's statement follows: “Gov. Landon honored us with & brief visit at Dearborn Tuesday, stay-< ing at our house for luncheon. This was my first opportunity to meet the man who has brought this campaign back to American issues. I gained three very distinct impressions of him. First, he is exceptionally well-informed and has had experience along many lines; second, he is able to speak his mind in the frankest possible way— he is open and honest in his opinions; third, he knows where he stands be- cause he has thought things through. Gov. Landon’s mind has not been warped. My judgment would be that he would be a hard man to turn from the American way -of doing things. The: trouble with the presidency is that a man may say and intend one thing, but pressure may compel him to do something different—Gov. Landon im« pressed me as a man whq would re, sist pressure. He knows the difficulty of the job before him, but he believes he can mak® adjustments that will help everything move - along more smoothly. I think he can. “He ‘is-a business man whp knows how to make both ends meet, 4nd he is a sympathetic, thoughtful *persor. He ate out of a dinner bucket for years and he still thinks along’ with the meri who carry dinner buckets. It is not a pose with him—it is his nature. After having this long talk with him'-I admire and believe in him; I hope he is elected. . Enough of New Deal. “I.am not criticizing the New Deal —I only say that we have had enough of it; we have had about all the coun- try can stand.

Wirephoto. is in the very nature of things that | they could not be kept. “But I don't worry, about that. They got what they needed. Any- body who expects something for noth- ing is all the better for being dis- appointed. They learn something. What disturbs me is that the New Deal is now making to the workmen the same impossible promises that it made to the business man. I doubt if American mechanics are going to regard $15 a month 25 years from now as very much ‘social security.’ New Deal wages were always the low- est possible because they:' were set at’ depression levels, and now ‘social security’ is defined at the level of about 50 cents a day 20 years from now. Everybody must know that it doesn't mean anything. Next Janu- ary we must begin taking money out of our men’s pay envelopes and turn it over to the Government. The wage does not belong to the man who earns it so far as this tax on it is concerned; he is not permitted to handle it; his employer must de- duct the tax from the pay envelope. The majority of the Ford employes will have to endure that for the next 20 or 25 years—unless the act is thrown out or falls of its own weight. Making the social system secure is one thing—it is a job for the greatest statesmen the Nation can produce— but pretending to create security for & selected class in an insecure sys- tem is a cruel joke—especially when you take their money for it. “I hope the American workman will inquire into this for himself. He knows as well as any one that there is no ‘something for nothing’ even in pomlu “We don't believe the election is going to stop the operation of natural forces. The United States cannot be deflected fromr its course.” As for ourselves, we are going along at our own job—stroiger than ever, We give competition and we ask for com- petition; if we must also compete with a false political system, very well. We seek abllity to pay higher wages, to give buyers more value, to find methods that are less expensive, to keep prices and profits low in order that volume and wages and service may be high. That's the American system; that's brought us where we are. And nothing better has turned up to take its place.” Russian (Continued Prom Pirst Pue.)__ being sent into Spein through Por- tugal.

WITH THE FASCIST TROOPS NEAR SAN. MARTIN ‘DE VALDEI- GLESIAS, Spain, October 14 (#).—Wily insurgents, luring government troops between steel lines, hurled Socialist forces eastward today with heavy losses. The Fascists, for a govern- ment attack on San Martin, allowed the militiamen to advance near the mountain village and then launched a vicious drive which pushed the Social- ists back 3 miles. Rear guard patrols of the insurgents then concentrated on & “mop up” cam- paign in the surrounding region to con- solidate Fascist positions in the rugged terrain 40 miles west of Madrid.

After his retirement as chancellor of Lincoln Memorial University, at Harrogate, Tenn., where he had served for 20 years, Dr. Hill Dr. 3. W.

C.- He was the uther of John Warren Hill, presiding justice of the Court of Domestic Relations here; Fowler Hill of the New York Times staff and Mrs. William Mitchell, also of New York. Ordained in 1889, A native of Kalida, Ohio, he was educated at Ohio Northern and was ordained a Methodist minister in 1889, a year after his marriage to Nora Holmes of Findlay, Ohio.

Loring (Continued From First Page.) concerning new information was cas- ually made to several newspdper mten, but the detective later reiterated “his statement and followed it with this declaration: “I geally don't think well get an indictment. I, of course, wont §sk for one, but then, I never do. That is up to the State’s attorney. I will not say what the evidence is.” Earlier in the day Bowie had de- clined to reveal whether the jury would consider the crime. Not until Itzel and Vogelsang arrived at the prosecutor’s office was it officially learned that the case would be pre. sented to the 24 jurors, headed by W. R. Connick of Baden. No Charges Made. The murder of the 27-year-old Mount Rainier stenographer was con- sidered by the grand jury at its session last Spring. No presentment was | made. At no time since the garroted body ‘of Miss Loring was found on Saddleback Ridge, near her home, last November have any charges been preferred against suspects. In recent months investigators have said nothing about the case. Fre- quently approached by newspaper men, Bowie had repeatedly refused to discuss the crime which attracted attention along the Eastern seaboard. He would not reveal last night whether any of the witnesses or suspects, questioned by police during the most intense in- vestigating period shortly after the crime’s discovery, would be summoned. Observers believe that witnesses will be brought. before the jury only if the new -evidence today adds sufficiently important clues to the mass of in- formation and statements already com- plled by the investigators.

William Allen White Paged by President In Visit to Emporia By the Associated Press EMPORIA, Kans., October 14— The talk of the town today was how William Allen White was “paged” by the President of the United States. When the Roosevelt campaign special pped here yesterday. the Pri t inquired about Mi. ‘White, “a very good friend.” The editor, who is a close friend of Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee, had chosen to mingle with the crowd, but was pointed out. “Make way for Mr. White,” cor= dially shouted the President. ROCQUE ACCUSED OF CACHING ARMS Blum’s Newspaper Charges He Gathers Weapons for Rightists. PARIS, October 14 (#).—Premier Leon Blum's newspaper, Le Populaire, charged today that Col, Francois de la Rocque had cached automatic rifles, machine guns and tear gas bombs to arm his Rightist followers. As the cabinet met amid Rightist charges that Russian Communists, aided by the presence in Paris of Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinoff, are trying to provoke Franco-German strife, the newspaper said at least 1,000 automatic rifies had been ac- cumulated here to arm the “shock brigades” of the leader of the dis- banded Croix de Feu. ‘The tear gas bombs and machine guns in great numbers have been | gathered together in the provinces, Le | Populaire said. Salengro Reports Situation, At the Elysee Palace meeting of the cabinet, Roger Salengro, minister of the interfor, made a long report on the internal political situation. ¥von Delbos, French foreign minister, dealt with the international situation in the light of ‘the German protest over the | Alsace-Lorraine speech last week end | of the Communist leader, Msurice | ‘Thorez. Le Populaire accused De la Rocque | of preparing a “putsch” to bring into | power by violence “an ideal which is repugnant to & majority of the French.” | It contended some American sub- | machine guns were among the arms | assembled by the Rocquists which, the | newspaper declared, were purchased | by funds advanced by Rich adherents. | Most of tne arms were alleged to have been smuggled into France | across the Swiss and Belgian borders. There also were a number of German machine guns in the lot, the news- paper added. Litvinoff Returning From Geneva, The fresh Rightist accusations of a Russian “plot” followed disclo- | sure of the presence in Paris of | Litvinoff since Monday. He was re- ported to have come to the French | capital from Geneva, following the League of Nations Assembly session. ‘The Rightist newspaper Figaro, as- serting the Soviet official was travel- ing “incognito,” commented: “Moscow’s emissary is not indiffer- | ent to the incidents provoked by Thorez’s speech at Strasbourg.” The paper referred to a German protest against statements allegedly insulting to Adolf Hitler by Maurice Thorez, secretary-general of the PSS SR Collegiate “Date” Defined.
