Twenty Jehovah's Witnesses deliv- ered a truckload of petitions to the Federal Communications Commission office today requesting that a debate broadcast over a Nation-wide radio ain “between a high official of the man Catholic Church” and Judge seph F. Rutherford, president of e Watch Tower and Bible Tract Society. . The petitions were taken to the gew Post Office Bullding in a sound uck and carried upstairs to the Commission’s office, where they were &tacked in a corridor. The Jehovah's ‘Witnesses said a “couple of million” persons had signed the petitions, which said, in part: “The Roman Catholic press pro- tests the broadcasting of Judge Rutherford’s speeches by radio for the reason, as claimed, that he mis- represents the teachings of the Roman Gatholic Church concerning the sal- vation of the human race.” Permission for a radio debate on the question was asked “in the general interest, convenience and necessity of the people.” ..The petitions were received by John B. Reynolds, acting chairman of the commission.

KNOX ANSWERS - ROOSEVELT SPEECH President No Leader in Recovery, ., @ 0. P. Candidate Declares. Fears Dictation. 'BY the Associated Press. " CHICAGO, November 2.—Col. Frank Knox, Republican candidate for Vice resident, maintained today that resident Roosevelt by assertions in his New York address had ‘“disqualified himself as an ald or a leader in re- €overy.” “ In a statement issued last night, €ol.

HE current political campaign, . like most other presidential campaigns in American his- tory, has heard blustering charges that the party in power has dispensed Government jobs on a par- tisanship basis rather than by weigh- ing applicants’ merits. At the Civil Service Commission, one official re- calls, a Federal job holder once pro- tested indignantly. In his bureau, the employe said, partisanship was playing too big a role. Why, he personally had seen notations on lists, he said, indicating in code the politics of certain “eli- gibles.” After many names he had seen the initials “F. R.,” which he said meant “faithful Republican”; “D" for Democrat and “A" for appoint. When he left the commission’s of- fices some time later, the “informant” was a little sheepish looking.

COUNTRY inn, near Harrison- burg, Va., well and favorably known for serving good meals, has in the combined capacity of cook and waitress a colored mammy who could double for Aunt Jemima, both in appearance and the ability to pro- duce perfect pancakes. Two Washingtonians who had been inspecting camp and shelter sites in the Shenandoah Park arrived at the inn for breakfast and had no diffi- culty in disposing of several plates of flapjacks. The presiding genius of the kitchen and dining room urged them to have more cakes, but having established more or less of a record, the offer was declined. “If you have any surplus coffee” I would like enough to fill my thermos bottle for lunch,” said one of the guests. “I'm not sure we have that kind, but I'll go into the kitchen and look,” countered the beaming but puzzled servitor. A conference with the mis- tress brought enlightenment, for she soon returned to declare, “Yes, suh! Yes, sun!

ING STAR, WASHINGTO! FINANGIERS SEEN BACKING NEW DEAL Industry Opposed to Roose- velt Administration,. Ford Declares. BY the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, November 2.—Henry Ford, in a statement issued from his home yesterday, said he believes Tues- day’s election will determine whether industry and labor can répossess their right to proceed under free initiative or “whether they will be put still further under the control of inter- national financlers.” The Dearborn automobile manufac- turer, who indorsed the llepublican presidential candidacy of Gov. Alf M. Landon several weeks ego, cCeclared “industry is opposed to the New Deal. International finance is for it.” “New Deal legislation,” he said, “is compeling all kinds of American in- dustry to become customers of the money lenders. That's right in ac- cord with the basic alien principle behind all New Deal projects. Any one ‘who thinks that the real inside finan- ciers are opposed to the Naw Deal doesn’t know what is going on, “Every American—especially every American working man—should un- derstand clearly that industry is one thing; finance is another thing, wholly different. We hear people say that the chief benefits of the New Deal have gone to the working man. That's not true. The chief beneficiaries of the New Deal have been the bankers, the owners of ‘debt business’ because the United States Government, under the New Deal, has been the biggest and most profitable customer the bankers have ever had.” “Cured of Foolishness.” “Perhaps all we have been through 80 far has been a good thing,” he continued. “Now we are cured of the foolishness of expecting the Govern- ment to do anything for us. Govern- ment can't make work. The best it can do, to help the country, is to keep from hindering work. When the N. R. A. went overboard and much of the Government’s interference with it, business began to get better right away. It will continue to get Letter unless more political intereference is attempted. “There's more work to be done in this country right now than there's ever been before. And work is the only solution and social security we ever can have—work and wages. * * * We don’t know anything about real wages yet. Even though they are the highest in the world, American wages are not nearly as high now as they re going to be when this country really gets started. * * * “The only threat I see to higher wages in this country is from threat- ened political and financial control. ‘They both operate the same way. * * * Industry was getting pretty well out of the clutches of finance until the New Deal came. * * * Gives Views on Wages. “Except for maintaining law and order,” he said, “Government has had nothing to do with the great increase in the ability of the American working man to earn, and American industry to pay, high wages. Every time Gov- ernment has got control of an indus- try the common people suffer for iteee “No Government knows enough to run any industry. Neither do the financiers. They never try to—except as part of some pian to control the people.” Of the social security act, Ford said: “Under some social security systems abroad & man can.ot quit his job, or apply for another, or leave town and go to another, even to get a better job, because that would break the ‘economic plan’ Such a restriction of liberty will be almost a necessity in this country too if the present social security act works to its nat- ural conclusion _— TREASURY ASKS BIDS FOR APEX BUILDING Contract Requests to Be Opened Dec. 15—P. W. A. Has $3,665,- 000 on Hand. The Procurement Division of the Treasury Department todsy asked for bids to be opened December 15 for construction of the Apex Building, which wiil form the tip of the great Federal triangle at the intersection of Constitution and Pennsylvania avenues. The Government has $3,665,000 of P. W. A. funds available for the so-called “limit of cost,” but the bids are expected to be less than this, since items such as elevators are excluded from the main contract. The contractor is given 520 calendar days to complete the job from the date of notice to proceed. The build- ing is to be of seven stories and basement, running 313 feet along Pennsylvania avenue, 280 feet on Con- stitution avenue and 195 feet on Sixth street. It will cover roughly 43,000 aquare feet of ground and will pro- vide about 25,000 square feet of usable space on each floor, making a total of about 175,000 square feet. The building is to be occupied by the Federal Trade Commission.

Weather Bureau, in 67th Year First Had 22 Report Stations 300 Observations Made Each Day Assist Expe rtsin Forecasts—Airplanes Climb 3 Miles to Record Data. By the Associated Press. ‘When the weather man issued yes- terday’s forecast, he started the sixty- seventh year that the Federal Gov- | ernment has maintained this public | service. On November.1, 1870, the first col- lection of weather data began by tele- graphed reports from 22 scattered sta- | tions to the Signal Corps headquarters in Washington, The experts who predict weather to- day are aided by observations taken at 300 different places on this conti- nent at the same time. More than a score of airplanes roared away simultaneously in as many different places for a 3-mile climb, carrying instruments that recorded temperature, pressure and humidity. Automatic devices that recorded these data were examined in hun- dreds of other places. All the infor- mation was sent by telegraph, tele- phone and radio to forecasting cen- ters. Within two hours predictions for thousands of communities, for ships at sea and for airplanes had been made available through newspapers, radio broadcasts, the mail and every known method of communication. Week Needed for First Forecast. It required a week for the first fore- cast when the service was organized. That was a storm warning for the Great Lakes on November 8, 1870. Regular published weather predictions did not start until February 19 of the next year. Pretise accounts by the pioneer ad- vocates of a Federal weather service record that it required years “of long agitation to persuade Congress” that it was worth while. France had started a Govemmen'. weather service as early as 1855, only 11 years after invention of the tele- graph made it easy for man to send storm warnings and other data with speed. Holland followed in 1860 and Great Britain a year later. Scientists, marine experts and nu- merous individuals and groups began demanding a public weather service for this fast-growing country but the Civil War interrupted these appeals. Finally, when Congress did approve the idea, the Secretary of War was asked to take observations and give storm warnings on the sea coasts and Great Lakes. Signal Corps Carried Burden. The duty fell to the Signal Corps, and for 20 years the Army experts handled this service, first with a staff of only 25 men. In 1890 Congress decided a civil staff should handle the work and the Weather Bureau of the Department of Agriculture was charged with the Job of aiding navigation, commerce and agriculture. Even at the turn of the century there were only 400 per- sons employed in the Weather Bureau. Today the staff has expanded to more than 1,200 regular employes al- though headquarters in Washington still is in the same building in whica it was housed in 1887. 1t is & rambling, thick-walled brick structure about a mile northeast of the White House and houses the 200 experts, scientists, inventors and others who play a part in the many activi- ties of the bureau. Wireless telegraphy by Marconi in 1899 and later perfection of radio ‘were said by veterans of the Weather Bureau to have ‘been the biggest aids to their work in recent years. By these, they said, weather data from ships at sea and points over the lkmflunhov.flnflflmolm Mhnhelpe(unwmupe— cial forecasts four times every 24 hours along airways, the hurricane warning service of sea traffic and coastal regions, ‘the frost warning service to terests, the varied other wide fields of public serv- ice. Millions of dollars and thousands of lives have been protected by the Weather Bureau through warnings of hurricanes, floods, cold waves, heat ‘waves and other quirks of the weather. Veterans here say no small part in this public service is played by un- paid employes who make voluntary observations at thousands of points, in gathering data. For the future there is always the lure of possible long range forecasts. Several experiments along this line are under way but many of the vet- eran weather experts here are openly skeptical. ‘They claim a record of from 85 to 90 per cent accuracy in the 36 to 48 hour forecasts and are striving to im- prove that.

This district covers the financial district of Baltimore, wards 1, 2, 3,4, 5,6, 7, 8 and 22, and precincts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of ward 18. Palmisano carried this district last time, 27,988 to 13,042, The incumbent says he “expects to win by 5,000 votes this time.” “I am confident I will win by about 12,000," Hill said, after six months of door-to-door campaigning. He points out that in 1922 he carried the district by more than 15,000. In 1924 he again won with a majority of 10,000. He did not run for the House in 1926 but was a candidate for the nomination for Senator and lost by & close margin. In 1928 Herbert Hoover lost the third district by more than 12,000 votes while Hill was de- feated by only 330, More Contributions Received. Evidently the Republican Congress« ional Committee feels that this is one district in which they may effect an | overturn, for they have contributed more to the Hill campaign than in any other district. Palmisano has been making his campaign through the local precinct organization. Hill, since he was un< opposed in the primary last May has been making & house-to-house cam= paign. His talks at raliles have been mainly on local questions such as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Baltie more Port Differential. Representative Kennedy is expected to ride the crest of the Roosevelt wave in defeating Ellison because the social security act has been made the main issue in this contest. State Attorney General O'Conor has been one of the most active party came palgners, traveling all over the State and preaching the gospel of social se« curity, lauding President Roosevelt for this legislation. O'Conor gave Kenn- edy special commendation for his sup- port of Mr. Roosevelt in this legis~ lation. Kennedy was elected to the House in 1931 to fill the vacancy created by the death of the veteran Representative Charles J. Linthicum. He was re- elected two years ago, 37,006 to 24,162, The district includes wards 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19 and 20, and precincts 1,2 and 3 of ward 18. Relognized as Liberal. Ellison, who has been recognized as a liberal and independent in the City Council, has refused to join his party leaders in wholesale condemnation of the social security act, but has given President Roosevelt credit for “pointing the way” and has called for material revision and extension of the act. These is little doubt that Kennedy will win with a substantial increase in his vote over two years ago. Representative Cole won two years ago, 75,244 to 52,303. He should win this time by a substantial increase. This district includes wards 15, 16, 26, 27 and 28 in Baltimore and precincts 1-10 in ward 25, besides the counties of Baltimore, Carroll and Harford. Carroll is the only county that went against him two years ago. Cole is a member of the Board of Regents of Maryland University, former vice president. of the Maryland Bar Ase sociation and has large dairy inter- ests at Mount Vista. He has served four terms in Congress. Whiteford, his Republican opponent, has been prominent in the canning industry and operates a dairy, fruit and produce farm of 440 acres on which he was born. He is a director of the Agricultural Corp. of Maryland and the Maryland Farm Bureau Fed- eration. He is vice president of & canners’ co-operative. Representative Gambrill, who has served 12 years in the House, is ex- pected to win by about 15,000 over s | Rowe in the fifth district, which com« broadcast here tonight planned to leave about (C. 8. T.) for Independence. prises Anne Arundel, Calvert, ctnrh- St. Mary's, Howard Georges Countles, and wards :1. 33 and 24 in Baltimore and parts of wards 18 and 25.
