BUSINESS CHARGED WITH RECOVERY Landis Challenges Industry and Finance to Accept £ Its Responsibility. BY the Associated Press. AUGUSTA, Ga., December 4.— James M. Landis, chairman of the Federal ~Securities and Exchange Commission, challenged industry and finance today to accept responsibility for control of recovery to prevent repe- tition of evils of the last boom. In his first public speech since the election, Landis told the Investment Bankers' Association of America that business should recognize its own re- sponsibilities in light of the vote which.| returned President Roosevelt to office. “Any interpretation of our national Bims as looking for the return of the shallow prosperity of boom days is Calse,” said the S. E. C.'s tense-nerved shief. Declared Own Recovery. “You cannot forget that the last recovery was your recovery and that §t almost destroyed you. Fairly or unfairly, - you became the scapegoats of a bewildered and discouraged people. “This new recovery, certainly in its #nitial stages, will also be your recov- ery. Its responsibilities are now yours. “How well you will discharge them §s vour challenge. “If the mandate of last November means to us that we must not fail, more clearly does it mean to you that you dare not fail.” Expecting further moves toward re- Sorm of financial machinery, includ- Ing segregation of functions of brokers and dealers on and off security exchanges, many had looked forward $o Landis’ address for reflection of the tnfluence of the vote on New Deal policies. Landis avoided concrete details, from an administration standpoint, however, but held the “verdict of No- vember 3” reflected “enthusiastic ac- ceptance of new concepts of what the aims of an enduring governmental system must be.” Sees New Legislation. The decisive vote, he predicted, would find expression in new legisla- tion and administration of laws relat- ing to control of recovery forces. “Questions as to what can be done o prevent a stock market boom used & be grimly academic,” he continued. *Now throughout the country there is an unmistakable concern as to wheth- er our commission or the governors of the Federal Reserve System, or both, have the power to check the recur- rence of 1929.” “The intensity of our present sellers’ | tmarket is in danger of bringing about 8 subtle dulling of responsibility,” he said. “If we fail,” he wained, “others will take charge. But have no doubt, the objective of our national life in this Beld will be attained.” “We cannot accept the conception of the place of speculation in our se- eurity markets that built & justifica- tion for the prices of the late twen- ties. Pure speculation we can tol- erate at the race track or elsewhere, where it cannot stalk under the en- ticing garb of investment.” Sheep Dogs Guide Blind. For some time the “Seeing Eye” #ogs have been of the police dog breed, but within the year & new variety has bbeen successfully trained—the French sheep dog. It is a one-man dog and has proved as expert at leading the blind and as loyal and intelligent as the police dog. — Tipsiness Laid to Oxygen Lost.

During his brief stay in Montevidio, Mr. Roosevelt told Uruguayan Presi- dent Gabriel Terra “a new era of friendship and confidence” was born at the Pan-American Conference there in 1933. Mr. Roosevelt said the Indianapolis would stop for refueling at Port of Spain, Trinidad. It was undecided whether he would go ashore on the British-owned island. PRESIDENT “PEACE APOSTLE.” Hailed by Lamas at First Full Peace Conference. BUENOS AIRES, December 4 (#).— Argentine Foreign Minister Carlos Saavedra Lamas hailed President Roosevelt as an “apostle of peace” as he greeted delegates to the first full session of the Inter-American Peace Conference today. Lamas, Nobel Peace Prize winner this year, was named permanent chairman of the conference. President Roosevelt's. visit to the opening of the parley Tuesday, he de- clared, “was not only opportune, but providential” “The peoples who acclaimed him saw in him a triumphal expression of democracy itself.” “The initiator of this conference and an apostle of peace,” Saavedra Lamas said, “we owe to his presence and his sponsorship the moral atmosphere | which he has left us and which con- stitutes an augury of the success of our deliberations.” ! Democracy, he declared, must form | the foundation of inter-American peace and prosperity, along with the economic and cultural welfare of living standards. Countries of the New World, Lamas said, must not think of isolating them- selves from Europe. “We cannot consider the consolida- tion of peace while limiting its hori- zons,” he declared. “We cannot give way to suppositions of continental iso- lations, which would be asserting that we do not live on the same planet with i the Old World.” United States Sec- scheduled to speak at tomorrow's ple- nary session, listened attentively to a translation heard through earphones. Foreign Minister Jose Espalter of Uruguay, replying for the visiting del- egations, praised President Roosevelt and urged that the conference, besides strengthening the American peace structure, “prepare solid bases for a new commercial and economic policy to develop our countries among them- selves.” The conference gave precedence to peace and disarmament projects, as more than 20 proposals were filed at WALLET, gentleman’s, with vaiuable per- wnll papers and money: in Earle Thes ‘ednesday eve.

HOLLYWOOD, December 4.—Danc- ing Ginger Rogers was guarded by Federal agents today as her mother told of letters demanding $5,000 or the pretty actress’ life. Mrs. Lela Rogers said Federal men made arrangements to contact the supposed letter writer at a beach cafe tonight in the hope of making arrests. Officers of the Bureau of Investigation refused comment. “The first letter, received about two weeks ago, contained a ghreat that I would be riddled with bullets if the money was not paid by December 9,” saild Mrs. Rogers. “It was illiterate and apparently in the handwriting of a man. “A second letter threatened death to Ginger. It was in the handwriting of a woman, and demanded payment on December 4.” Mrs. Rogers, “not disturbed” by the threats, added: “You know, these things always work out in a curious way. Notes of this type come through and the play- ers never see them. The studio fan mail departments get them first, and the first thing anybody knows, there is a bodyguard assigned to you.

The knife wound in the left chest had punctured the lung and narrowly missed the heart. No knife was found on the premises and Bolling told of- ficers that he had thrown the weapon into the river. Both men were unmarried. Bolling is a member of a family long estab- lished in Fredericksburg. Both his parents are dead. His father, Maurice L. Bolling, was a member of the City Council and was engaged in the paint- ing and supply business. Bolling was formerly first leutenant of Battery F, Virginia National Guard, but more recently held the rank of sergeant. Carter was buried here yesterday, with Bolling acting as one of the pallbearers. Carter, who had been employed as a painter by Boiling until the business was sold about a year ago, had lived in the Bolling apart- ment since that time. Commonwealth's Attorney W. B. F. Cole, who reported Bolling’s confession this morning, ordered the accused held incommunicado in the City Jail pend= ing action by a special grand jury to be called to consider an indict- ment. Carter is survived by his mother, four brothers and two sisters, all of Fredericksburg. Bolling has a younger | brother who is an inmate of a mental | institution. Identity Left Behind. FARRELL, Pa.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 4.—Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt sat in the chambers of Supreme Court Justice Timothy A. Leary for an hour yester- day while her counsel and attorneys of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney renewed the fight over the custody of Mrs, Vanderbilt'’s 13-year-old daughter, Gloria. The outcome of the conference was adjournment of the hearings until next Wednesday, when Mrs. Whitney, the child’s aunt, will be called on to show why Mrs. Vanderbilt should not be awarded full or more continuous custody of her daughter Mrs. Whitney was awarded custody of Gloria two years ago by Justice John F. Carew, who stipulated that the child could visit her mother on week ends, and during July and Au- gust and on Christmas day. Mrs. Vanderbilt maintains that the split custody arrangement is jeopardizing her daughter’s normal love for her. Attorneys for Mrs. Whitney filed an answer to the show-cause order with Justice Leary today, but the court said it would not be made public un- til it is formally entered in the hear- ings next week. Louis D. Frohlich, counsel for Mrs. Vanderbilt, also declined to release the papers, but said: “I will say this, though. Mrs. Whit- ney has made no new charges against Mrs. Vanderbilt. She has-‘taken the position that it is to the best interests of the child for her to remain under the present custody arrangement.” Frohlich said he was making vigor- ous efforts to have the hearings opened to the public, but that counsel for Mrs. Whitney were opposing him. Justice reached before the hearings start. The | closed doors. - Cars Alternate on Streets.
