However, 1 my mind is made up and if any''one wants me to make a decision 1 I'll do so.” 1 The decision was a mere formality as Browder failed for the sec- ' ond time last night to make his 1 scheduled address.

LONG HENCHMAN IS INVITED TO “TAKE A WALK" Rev. Gerald Smith Invited To Leave Union Party Chicago, Oct. 21. (U.R> The Rev. | Gerald L. K. Smith, champion among other things of the lute Huey Long's “share-the-wealth” plan, was Invited today to “take a walk" from the third party move ment. Strained relations between Smith and Dr. Francis E. Townsend, old age pension organization founder, came to a head and burst after the Louisiana orator announced he had organized a group of “seize the government of the United States." It was (he first serious break between the three organizations which had united in support ot Rep. William for president —the Townsend national recovery organization. Smith's group, and the National Union for Social Jus tice headed by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin. Union party leaders, sponsoring Lemke’s candidacy, quickly threw in with Townsend against Smith. , Coughlin was expected to continue his long-standing championship of Lemke's policies. Statements of die three who figured openly In the break: Smith: “1 am associated with a tremendous undertaking to preserve America's nationalistic identity." Townsend: "I am against any form of government that is undemocratci and tends toward dictatorship. Any form of natioualization or centralization tends toward this. Gerald Smith shall henceforth have no connection with our organization.” John Nystul, Union Party national campaign manager: "Mr. Smith in no way represents the Union Party or Mr. Lemke. The Union Party has absolutely no use for either communism or fascism.” Lemke, campaigning in Idaho, | declined to mix in the TownsendI Smith quarrel. He said he expectI ed Smith to continue campaigning Tr his behalf, but when Nystul . learned of this statement he said he was certain Lemke would ; "change his mind” when he was i "fully informed of the facts.” Political observers reported Townsend for several months has j resented Smith's efforts as “joint spokesman” for the Townsend-Smith-Coughlin-Lemke group, anti has considered reprimanding him. This difference was apparent in their statements yesterday: Smith: “I have been and still am a good friend and adviser of the Townsend movement.” Townsend: “Gerald L. K. Smith is not my adviser or the adviser of the Townsend movement.” Townsend was quick to act when Smith announced in New York his intention to organize “10,000.000 patriots willing to lay down their lives to save the country from an international plot to (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) o—- —— CHEW FUNERAL RITES FRIDAY I Prominent Geneva Man Dies Tuesday Os Heart Attack Funeral services will be held j Friday for A.

I ROOSEVELT IS : GREETED TODAY BY THOUSANDS I ' I I■■ ■■ Pres i dent Campaigns Through New England 1' States Today II . . ’ . ' En Route with President Roosevelt in Massachusetts. Oct. 21 — , <U.R) ■ President Roosevelt cami paigned through Massachusetts today at the head of a wild-riding motor cavalcade after setting the key for his New England campaign by declaring at Providence. R 1., that "prosperity measured ! in dollars is coming hack." The president told a crowd at L Providence, estimated at 30,000 or more, that “wo will not again allow people to be regimented by I seltish minorities into bankruptj cies and breadlines.” leaving Providence, his trip in- ! to Massachusetts developed into a catch-as-catch-can motor race over a three-lane highway from Rhode Island to Fall River and New Bedford. Local politicians, eager to be up near the president’s car. raced wildly for preferred positions, squeezing out of line and on se.vI eral occasions nearly forcing into i the ditch motor cars bearing members of the president’s own ‘ party. Police appeared to be helpless ' once the situation got. beyond their control and made no effort to restore even a semblance of order to the parade. At one time. ' automobiles were racing three 1 and four abreast at 50 miles an hour. The drivers disregarded warning shouts of some of the passen- • gers. Observers who have travelled on many trips with the • president described it was one of the most dangerous they eier ha.d ■ made and blamed the determination of Massachusetts candidates ■ and their friends to “be up in front.” ■ At one point, the car bearing Miss Marguerite Lehand anil Mrs. Malvina Scheider, pensonal secretaries to the president and Mrs. Roosevelt respectively, was forced out of line and the chauffeur was compelled to swerve to the side 1 of the road. The racing Ynania continued for mlies. The president, in car No. 1, was unaware ; of the situation. p ' When the procession reached ' Fall River, thousands were packed in the streets and the city square where Mr. Roosevelt spoke briefly and extemporaneously. .
