Tuesday afternoon, is in the county jail and maybe exam- ‘ined as to his mental condition. After his attempt at suicide he was watched very carefully as his family was satisfied he was suf- fering from a form of dementia that may become worse. Thursday afternoon he began to show signs of restlessness and lat- er in the day left the home, 818 Simonton street, declaring he was going to the docks and jump over- board. He was caught by friends and taken home. Yesterday he threatened the life of his wife, and with a large knife in hand started to put the threat into effect, His wife ran into the street screaming for assistance, Traffic Officer Alberto Camero ‘was told of the trouble and went to the home.

Inflation, budget and industry} control promise to be major is- }sues fought out on the political front beginning this summer and {continuing until the personne! of; \the seventy-fourth congress has j been determined. “When I go out this summer,” {one republican leader stated be-} | fore he left the capital for home, ; “TI shall talk about just one thing/ —economics.” The regular republicans say they have material to wage one of the greatest political battles in the history of the country. They appear convinced that the meas- ures enacted in the special session threaten to alter the fundamental structure of the nation. Across The Aisle One hears, for example, such jrepublican stalwarts as James W. {Wadsworth of N@w York, a for-j mer senator and now a membér of the house, saying that if the policies written into the law of the land during the special session are to prevail, he feels sorry for his sons and their sons. “They will live in a country,” says Wadsworth, whane: people guitied and, finally, compelled to adopt whatever methods of | life government imposes upon’ them.” And Snell of New York, the re- publican floor leader of the house, cries out: “The principles of more than a hundred years have been thrown out. Much of the democrats’ pro- gram instead of decentralizing the government, ruthlessly discarded every principle of individual en- terprise and initiative for which this government was founded.” This republican leader admits, er. that the chance of his party in the 1934 elections “de- pends on whether this experi-! mental legislation enacted by the] democrats at the special session works.” Among The Demoerats |» University’ of Mlinois) —.

EXPENDITURES WILL TAKE BIG PART IN NEXT YEAR'S CAMPAIGN By BYRON PRICE { ; (Chief Of Bureau, The Associated! Press, Washington) No matter how other issues may change between now and the con- gressional campaign of next year, the question of government ex- | penditures seems already assured a large place on the hustings in \1934. The democrats may be counted | [on to make the most of their! scaling down of department spend-! jing, and of President Roosevelt's! | vepeated warnings to congress that} |the budget must be balanced. | And it is against that very point! ‘in the democratic line that the { republican broadside has been | principally directed. Representa-! | tive Snell, the republican house leader, begins a detailed criticism} | of the administration by declaring! | the democratic congress went on a! | ‘spending spree,” and ends it with a table setting forth tremendous for the democratic appro- tions. Mr. Snell also attacks the “new | economy” of the Roosevelt regime. He enters the protest of an old; guard which refuses to surrender an inch of ‘its traditional prin- ciples. He does this, however, | more or less incidentally, after he has talked at length about demo- j cratic spending. On the question of special ses- on expenditures he is dealing | with a record already made, and j not susceptible to change between now and election d@ye sooo os Different Interpretation The developing issue 1s not over the amount of money authorized for expenditure. Republican and democratic figures are in sub- stantial agreement. The question in dispute is just what these | ures mean in terms of the burden they impose on the taxpayer. The democratic thesis is that current running expenses of the ;overnment (that is, the regular departments) have been greatly ed, and that special authori- , including principally the 300,000,000 bond issue for pub- | works, cannot properl; be |counted as a present expenditure | because the government is borrow- {ing the money and will pay it off over a long term of years.
