(Rep.), of Idaho, told southwestern Idaho farmers yesterday that President Franklin ■D. Roosevelt was “justified in spending large sums of public l money for relief." The Republican veteran is cam- | paigning for a sixth consecutive term in the United States senate. He is opposed by Gov. C. Ben Ross. “The program of providing relief had to be met, the people had to be fed —of course President Roosevelt was justified in spending large sums of publid money," Borah said. His statement was in reply to a question leveled at him by a farmer in the audience. "I myself," the senator said, "have made statements on the floor of the senate in which I declared I would vote to spend the last dol lar in the United States treasury to provide for the nation's destitute.” The assertion came near the end of a 15-mtnute address on reclamation. monopoly, money and interj national peace and tariff problems, at a beef barbecue in the senator's honor. “The Republican party would have done the same if it had been , in power and had known conditions," Borah said further regard i/t relief expenditures. “I don't know how much of the money that was spent was wasted." I Borah prefaced his remarks with the statement: “I shall say what I have to say as a citizen, regardless of my being a candidate."

WAITERS WALK OUT IN PARIS, FEAR VIOLENCE Paris’ 60,000 Waiters On Strike, Adds To Complications (Copyright 1936 by UP.) Paris, Oct. 3 (U.R) — Police patrols were rushed into the principal boulevards today when Paris' 160,000 waiters went on strike. Emergency squads patrolled In | trucks to suppress demonstrations ’ and to protect establishments whose waiters wanted to work. The strike was called suddenly while government officials were I anxious over the threat of a ser- ' lous communist-fascist clash to- ■ morrow. Though neither threat was connected with the devaluation program, the government's worries i were complicated. Restaurants, cases, and hotel bars through the city closed. At some premises, the workers reI mained in occupation. At others, the proprietors succeeded in locking the doors before the strike took effect. While police watched the thousands ot establishments affected, fascist leaders met to plan a physical breakup ot a gigantic communist demonstration planned for tomorrow. They called a general t meeting of fascists of the Croix 1 de Feu organization for 3 p. m. • (8 a. m. SCTJ to plan means of 1 breaking up the demonstration. ’ apparently intending to defy government ordinances. Union leaders asserted that 90 te per cent of Paris' waiters were on 1 strike by 10 a. in. (3 a. m. CST). In many instances, the waiters used the new “stay in" tactics and i remained in occupation of premises. The famous Case du Dome was occupied by the entire peri sonnel, the cupole by a "symbolic" force of six waiters. i | It had been planned to use the “stay in" tactics generally, and to occupy all premises where more 1 ‘711311 10 waiters were employed. I but some proprietors; — including k the owner of the Case de la Paix got the jump on the strikers by locking their doors. The waiters crowded about outride these establishments trying to enter. By 9 a. m., there was a general e move to close all places affected, i , | Boulevards assumed a mournful air. Tabb's and chAirs were piled i ' up on the terraces. Union dele- ' gates sped through the city with s the strike order, and it became dis- “ ficult Io get a drink except at the J few tiny bistrots where the own--1 ers do their own serving. B When the biggest and most fasht ionable cases such as Maxim s and Webber's were closed, it became apparent that the strike was hav-i ing real effect. "We will strike till we get satis-1 , faction," a strike chief told the i United Press. He explained that the strike was called because of ' employers' failure to effect during j I September a working agreement 1 drafted last June.
