4 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OCTOBER 18, 1936—PART ONE. HOPKINS INSISTS W.P.A.1S “PURE” Declares Landon Could Cut Relief Only by Putting .Men on Doie. s By the Associated Press. Contending W. P. A, is “99.99 per cent pure’ Harry L. Hopkins sald last night that Gov. Alf M. Landon could make his promised big reduction in relief costs only by putting able- bodied workers on the dole. In a nationally broadcast address, the Works Progress administrator said the Republican presidential nominee had left himself “a very definite loop- hole” to do this. “He says the States are to choose what work projects, if any, they will operate,” Hopkins asserted. “He leaves himself a very definite loophple to throw the whole work program over-- board and put the unemployed on the dole. “He hides it in two small words— the words ‘if any.’ But he can’t make his big cut in relief costs any pos- sible way except by putting able work- ers on the dole!” Says Landon Changed Views. Hopkins said Gov. Landon had changed his views on the relief policy since he entered the presidential race. Quoting the Governor’s recent cen=- tention that there had been a lack of “sound, practical, clear-headed plan- ning” in the relief program, Hopkins commented: “Two years ago Gov. Landon said, *Well, if the Democrats won't stand up for their relief program and its ad- ministration, I will do it for them. I say that, considering the problems they have met, they have done a good Job and I am gled to have co-operated Wwith them.” Turning to Landon's charges of Wwasteful administration, Hopkins said the administrative cost of the Gov- ernor’'s own direct relief program in Kansas during the first six months of this year was 27.9 per cent, “nearly double the national average” and more than five times the administra- tive cost of the W. P. A. in Kansas for the same period. Replies to “Extravagance” Claim. “Gov. Landon says we are extrava- gant,” he continued. “Well, the best way to judge that is to compare what we have spent in Kansas with what Gov. Landon asked us to spend. From 1933 to last year, he himself urged us to spend 28’: per cent more than we actually did. If we had followed his signed requests, we would have spent $12,000,000 more than we did in Kansas alone!” As to the possibility of trimming the | Federal share of relief expense and increasing local contributions, he said: “States and local communities al- ready pay 20 per cent of the cost of W. P. A projects. They also pay the full cost of more than a million families on direct relief, one-half the cost of old-age pensions and two- thirds the cost of widows' pensions. “So far as the local communities | are concerned, this burden falls upow | the small property owner, because the : real estate tax pays the bill. € And | the real estate tax is already stretched to the limit.” Raps Hoover's Stand. Hopkins said the Hoover adminis- tration sought to avoid Federal re- sponsibility for relief because it did FOUND. EEALYHAM TERRIER, male. Call at 2610 F st. n.w. LOST.

We gave them food and shelter. Instead of red tape, we acted. Instead of tem- porizing, we took an army of young people off the highways and kept them in school. Instead of garbage, we provided work. Instead of soup lines, we kept families together in their homes. Instead of business paralysis, we now have buying power. Instead of riots and tear gas, we have peace and rapid recovery.” Vandenberg (Continued From First Page.) of the broadcasting from their pur- pose, Mr. Atlass decided not to carry the broadcast, and ordered an an- nouncement to that effect. “In the two minutes before Senator Vandenberg was to go on the air, Mr. Atlass reconsidered and decided to al- low the broadcast to proceed rather than to deprive listeners of the | | “For that reason the announcement | from Chicago that the sgcech would | not be carried was immediately suc- ceeded by the broadcast itsel. { “Meantime, before Mr. Atlass could | flash word to the master control room | in New York that he had changed his orders, New York had cut off the network WABC and a numbker of other stations under its immediate switching control, approximately 10 minutes beMre the scheduled com- pletion of the broadcast. “Mr. Atlass, at the close of Senator Vandenberg's broadcast, explained | over the air the reason he had sud- | denly decided to make a single ex- ception to Columbia's regular policy. “Naturally, those stations which had been switched off did not carry h.Ls ex- planation. “For that reascn, the foregoing statement was broadcast to the net- work later in the evening.” J. G. Gude, press chief for Colum- | bia, said the broadcast was cut off 22 | stations of the 65 which were sched- | uled to carry the broadcast. Stations in these cities were listed by Gude as having had the broadcast interrupted: Albany, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Hartford, New York City, Providence, Rochester, Syracuse, Toledo, Worcester, Jackson- ville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Erie, Pa.; Bangor, Akron, Bridgeport, Man- chester, N. H., and Binghampton, N. Y. Twice in Controversy. ‘The broadcasting company engaged in controversy over political broad- casting twice this year, After President Roosevelt reported to Congress on “the state of the Union” in a night meeting which was broadcast from the halls of Congress —setting a new precedent in such presidential messages — Henry P, Fletcher, then chairman of the Na- tional Republican Committee, de- manded an opportunity for Repub- licans to reply to the President’s mes- sage. Fletcher, since succeeded by John D, M. Hamilton, then said that the mes- sage was a political speech. Paley replied that he would give consideration to any Republican re- quests for time on the air, but said the radio company reserved the right planning its programs. In March Earl Browder, Communist candidate for President, was given time on the air by CBS. It brought protests from several sources, includ- ing Bernarr Macfadden, the publisher, his post because of it. Paley’s statement to Fletcher said, in part: ‘‘We are not under the domination HOME LOANS to build or refinance INTEREST 5 % $7.50 PAYMENTS as low as per $1,000 COLUMBIA BUILDING ASSOCIATION 716 11th St. N.W. of this administration, and we hl\'e. never been under the domination of any other. “I am therefore forced to challenge the statement in your telegram that for us to accede to your request would be proof that we are not under such domination. “We do not need such proof. record is proof enough.” Criticized President. In his address Senator Vandenberg criticized the President for an asserted repudiation of the 1932 Democratic platform in a broadcast in which the recorded voice of the President was interpolated. ‘The program was sponsored by the Republican National Committee, which Our described it as an *“.anovation in po-| litical campaigning. ‘The name of the second “internally known" speaker (the recorded voice of the President) was withheld in advance notices of the program. Senator Vandenberg, called a “fireside chat,” asked him about his statemcats on the Constitu- tion, the Democratic platform, con- duct of Government, taxes, the budget, social movements and unemployment. In each case a voice, introduced as | that of the President taken frcm his 1932 and 1933 radio speeches, spoke briefly. Senator Vandenberg then re- plied. Charges “Broken Promises.” “Yesterday's uttefly shattered prom- ises,” Vandeuberg said at the conclu- sion of his review of the platform, “emphasize and prove the absolute im- | possibility of relying upon any of today’s assurances for tomorrow.” The Michigan Senator said he ad- dressed himself to “Mr. Franklin Del- | ano Roosevelt in his personal capacity | in this campaign, as a candidate for re-election to the presidency of the | United States.” He asked what Mr. | Roosevelt said regarding the Constitu- tion at his inauguration, and the re- corded voice repeated the presidential oath. Going back to the President’s ac- ceptance speech at Chicago in 1932, Vandenberg said he was “struck by ! | icies again will, at any moment, end | your expressed devotion to the late President Wilson. This is what you | said”: The voice then was heard: “Many of his captains, thank God, are still with us, to give us wise coun- sel. o Vandenberg commented, “* * * I respectively beg to ask you to call the | roll of his ‘captains,’ and to tell the country from which of them you have taken counsel? And why 50 many of them courageously speak out in a de- mand for your defeat?” Formed “Your Own Party.” Charging the President had formed “your own party—the Roosevelt par- ty—which ignores the Democratic party in principles and traditions,” the Senator asked him if he “planned it this way” when he said: “Let it be from now on,” the voice interposed, “the task of our party to break foolish traditions. We will break foolish traditions and leave it to the Republican leadership, far more THE OIL BURNER CHOICE OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL ¥ FLECTRIC A SUFPLY ' OMPANY LOUGHBOROUGH OlL COMPANY 1022 17th Strect N.W.

With deepest earnest- ness I ask you, Mr. Roosevelt, whether this was not a long step toward a forbidden land; and I ask you how one can ignore constitutional doubts, however reasonable, and, yet, preserve, protect and defend the Constitu- m ey Recalls Remarks on “Brfance.” “When President Roosevelt was in- augurated,” the Senator sald at an- other point, “you anticipated the pos- sible need for extraordinary emer= gency and frankly sald”: The voice stated: “It is to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and legislative authority may be wholly equal, wholly adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us. But it may be that an unprece- dented demand and need for unde- layed action may call for temporary departure from that normal balance of public procedure. “¢ * * We were not long in ce- parting from ‘normal kalance.’ * * We have been out of ‘normal balance’ ever since. Meanwhile, you have ceased speaking gingerly to us about ‘temporary departures,’ now you say: ‘We have undertaken a new order of things—a permanent readjustment of our social and economic arrange- ments’ No longer is there softly spoken approach to temporary innova- tion. The ‘new order’ now is perma- nent. That puts the country upon fair notice. Decision day is Novem- ber 3.* » o~ Apropos economy, Senator Vanden- berg, still addressing his remarks to President Roosevelt, sald: “Instead of setting.an example in retrenchment. is it not a fact that Yyou have added 400,000 job holders to the Federal pay rolls? Instead of conserving taxes, is it not a fact that | 14 new tax bills have been passad in your administration; that each an- nual promise of ‘no more taxes’ has been followed within six months by | new and added taxes; that next year's budget is a billion dollars bigger than the last, and that, despite an esti- mated increase of 193 per cent in | tax revenues in 1937 over 1933, you have accumulated an annual deficit of $1,300,000,000 in three years?
