; supported this view, hut no action was sought. Chairman Fess today I refused to discuss the incident, ■ holding that the question more i properly was one for the conven- ■ tion platform committee to consid- ' er. ! "I think sentiment is changing, ; and we will have to meet it,” KinaLey said today. "That is what 1 j j told the executive committee meeting. 1 was just expressing my own I view. "The congressional elections indi--1 cated some folks want it a little i different. 1 know I do and I have ’ ! always been a dry.” • i Kinsley said he was for renomlination of .Mr. Hoover, ' First, list and always." He said he did not know if Mr. Hoover was wet or dry. i ; Fess reviewed Mr. Hoover's 1 counter-depression measures. 1 "If the President succeeds in ■! nothing more than preventing great ' suffering during this period of depression. and preventing the advo- • cates of the dole seizing upon it as the occasion to fasten upon our 'country through their widespread sympathy for the unemployed a • I system with which England is I i ] struggling, that service alone would: be found to distinguish him in his- ! tory," Fess said. Fess said the moratorium pre- . j vented a calamity and commended lithe President s National Credit Cor- : poration and his proposed reconJ struction inance corporation. I "While in former crises the Presi- ■ dent then at the head of the government was inclined to leave the : forces undisturbed to work them selves out. President Hoover has felt that the crisis through which] the world is now pissing is so i widespread and its menaces are so imminent that drastic treatment is i demanded, and he has supplied a ! ,type o; leadership without preced- I ent in American history," Fess i said. “Were it not that we are approach-: > ing a presidential campaign. Mr. Hoover would be the most widely : supported public man in his efforts • for relief here. "The decks are washed by thei waves; the furniture of the ship! thrown topsy-turvy; the passengers' confined to their staterooms; and the crew bewildered as the storm I smashes through the portholes. In! the midst of the contusion both i passengers and crew are aware! that on the bridge stands the pilot i with a poised brain and steady i ' hand. He is directing the ship in, her course. Her speed is somewhat: lowered, but• both passengers and; crew have confidence that under' this leadership the ship will safely I reach port." _ — o GUN WOUND IS FATAL TO MAN /CONTINUED FROM FAGE ONE ly disca ged when he t rok it from- - the seat pocket to take it into the t. house.
