9,000 Hear Dewey At Denver's Largest Rally Since 1936 New Deal Accused of Turning Progress Into ‘Economic Stagnation’ By the Associated Press. DENVER, April 24.—Between 9,000 and 10,000 people, Denver’s largest politicaly rally since President Roosevelt spoke on the Statehouse steps in 1936, packed the auditorium last night to hear Thomas E. Dewey accuse the Roosevelt administration of turning American progress into “economic stagnation and defeat- fsm.” The New York district attorney, & Republican presidential candidate, said the New Deal administration has “attempted to persuade us that we must resign ourselves to a per- manent depression, so that there may be a permanent excuse for the New Deal. “Here is an example. On Novem- ber 17, 1935, Harry Hopkins, as ad- ministrator of the W. P. A, said: ‘I believe that under our present sys- tem we will have to face indefinitely | Sigrid Undset Calls Her Nation 'To Stand United for Defense Nobel Prize Winner + the fact that many people will want Jobs who cannot find them.’ * * * ‘Prophet of Despair.’ “On whose authority did that prophet of economic despair speak? Certainly not upon the authority of the history of the American people. * * * We have had our ups and downs but we have always continued our progress. The New Dealers have transformed that progress into eco- nomic stagnation and defeatism.” “You will recall that Harry Hop- kins blamed ‘our present system’ for what he said would be our perma- nent unemployment. It would be interesting to know what other sys- tem would be preferred by our non- commercial Secretary of Commerce.” Mr. Dewey directed much of his attack against the Roosevelt admin- istration’s “vengeful policies toward business,” which. he said, strike par- | ticularly at small businesses. Cites Treasury Figures. Citing Treasury Department fig- ures for the years 1931-1937 for busi- nesses with assets of less than $50,- 000, he declared: “It is safe to say that small business as a whole has lost money every year under the New Deal.” The “greatest proportionate defi- ciency of jobs,” he said, is in this economic field. By “destructive taxes on individ- fl uals,” Mr. Dewey said, the Demo- cratic administration “has driven investors of large means into tax- exempt bonds.” depriving the small businessman of funds for expan- sion. Mr. Dewey and his campaign party will rest at a Colorado Springs hotel five days before resuming their Eastward trek. Charges Against Trio Wait Oufcome of Man's Injuries Police today awaited outcome of injuries suffered by Robert Lee St. | John, 45-year-old boatman, before filing charges against the three men | they believe responsible for an as- | sault on him yesterday. Mr. St. John was found uncon- kcious in the cabin of his 45-foot boat Tillicum, moored in Kingman | Lake, south of Benning road N.E.| yesterday. He was suffering from a com- pound fracture of the skull, appar- ently having been beaten on the head with hammers and other | tools. Removed to Casualty Hospital, | he was given little chance to survive | his injuries. A white man and two colored men, who police said had been engaged in a drinking bout aboard the boat, were arrested for investigation. Rob- bery was not the motive for the at- tack, police said. Occupants of the houseboats an- | chored near the weather-beaten Til- licum said that Mr. St. John lived | alone on the boat. World War Yeomaneife Found Hanged in Home Mrs. Minnie E.

PHONES: NAt. 3291—NAM. 3257—NAsl, 2036 @ Why these figures lie about the age of an OIL-PLATED engine Not thousands of miles, but thousandths- of-an-inch tell an engine’s true age. Tiny thousandths-of-an-inch of metal, gone forever, can make a 1940 job seem old because it noisily gobbles up oil, while many an engine of the 1930’s is still quietly taking baby-portions of oil because patented Conoco Germ Processed oil has kept it OIL-PLATED. OIL-PLATING strongly encourages those vital thousandths-of-an-inch to stay on, because OIL-PLATING itself stays on. The positive plating-effect of the extra man-made substance in Conoco Germ Processed oil won’t let OIL-PLATING go draining down altogether for CONOCO GERM PROCESSED OIL a single moment in May, June, July, August and beyond. . . never while you continue to use Conoco Germ Processed oil. Let your engine do its last bit of unplated mile- age now, driving to Your Mileage Merchant’s Conoco station for the change to OIL-PLATING «..as simple as merely changing oil... just as quick and economical. Drive out knowing you’ve taken your last chance this Summer of harsh dry starting, at your engine’s peril. Never again—not with Germ Processed oil keeping your engine OIL-PLATED « .. making it seem ‘“‘under-age;’ judged by its oil economy. Continental Oil Company ; 7/ OIL-PLATES YOUR ENGINE
