DEMOCRATS WILL PIN CORRUPTION ‘BLAME' ON HOOVER

RAISE ISSUE AGAINST G, 0. P. TAMMANY CRY A Walsh Scores Nominee for Failure to Protest in Cabinet Parleys. OWEN*ALSO DENOUNCED Pennsylvania and Illinois Machines to Be Centers of Attacks. BY THOMAS L. STOKES (United Press Staff Correspondent) ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 18— Asa counter to the Tammany issue, Democrats will raise the “corruption” issue against the Republicans in the coming campaign. They will blame the Republican nominee, Herbert Hoover, specificaT ly for faliure to condemn Fall, Daugherty and Forbes, fellow offificials in the Harding administration, and will single out Republican organizations in Pennsylvania and Illinois for attack. That became manifest today after a conference here between the Democratic nominee, Governor Alfred E. Smith, and Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Montana, Teapot Dome investigator. Walsh, who left here today alter being a guest at the executive mansion Friday night, will take a leadnig part in emphasizing this issue, assisted by his Democratic colleague, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Montana, who conducted the investigation into the tenure of Harry M. Daugherty as attorney general in the Harding administration. Hoover Is Condemned In a statement issued after the conference, Walsh not only condemned Hoover for failing to speak out about the disclosures of his and Wheeler’s Senate committees regarding activities of Daugherty and Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of Interior, but he also attacked a Democratic “bolter,” former Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, who has raised the Tammany issue against Smith. References to the Republican organizations of Secretary-Treasurer Mellon and Senator William S. Vare, in Pennsylvania, and of Mayor “Big Bill” Thompson in Chicago, showed that these will be included as targets for the general attack. Walsh, who contended for the Democratic presidential nomination but withdrew after the California primaries, praised Smith in his statement and indicated he will be a leading factor in the harmonizing movement. Walsh is a pronounced dry and was for William G. McAdoo in 1924. v Praise for Smith He said that Smith’s “geniality is irresistible and his intellectual processes refreshingly clear.” “His quick mastery of problems of State signifies a genius for such. We do not agree on some questions widely considered, but it were vain to look for a candidate with convictions representing millions of voters who likewise have convictions arl agreeing with them on all the questions.” Smith’s election, he added, would introduce into national councils a “human element sadly lacking under the regime of Coolidge and Mellon.” Os Hoover, Smith Said “If one is to be judged by his political associates, how shall the Republican nominee escape condemnation?” He sat in the Cabinet with Fall , and Daugherty without ever raising his hand to thwart their villgjnes while they were being perpetrated or raising his voice in condemnation bf the matter they were exposed. The shocking iniquities of two other official' associates, Forbes and Mellon, escaped his notice, if they were not shielded by his tolerance.

TEETH GET LOST, BUT BE NONCHALANT, CARRY SPARES

BY W. F. SULLIVAN. (United Press Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—In contemplating a long trip one should make sure tliat his spare set of false teeth are in good shape. n these ’hazardous days when accidents are frequent, one never can tell when he might damage his false teeth, and a spare set is almost as indispensable as a spare tire to an automobile, Dr. Paul J. McGowan, Boston specialist attending the Dental Laboratory Technicians conference here said.

ACES SEEK AID HERE FOR HOP TO SOUTH POLE One Plane Will Be Named Indianapolis If Backing Is Assured. The big Bellanca plane in which Commander Douglas George Jeffrey and Capt. Arthur Argles expect to soar over the South Pole next February may bear the name “Indianapolis,” if this city, through the Chamber of Commerce or contributions from individuals pays the $32,000 bill for the planes’ construction. Commander Jeffrey, ex-officer of the British navy, boat hero, expert navigator, will head the expedition into the Antarctic next November, with Captain Argles, native Nebraskan, who achieved fame with the British Royal Flying Corps during the World War, as his pilot and right-hand man. Will Map Region Two geologists, a physicist, a surgeon, a meterologist and a hydrographer will complete the personnel of the expedition proper, while another twenty men will be required to man the vessel used to transport the three planes to the base at Graham’s Land. Uncharted lands will be claimed for the United States, while the expedition will seek to determine the presence of gold or other valuable mineral deposits in the Antarctic regions. Suitable sites for whaling bases will be sought, fishery possibilities investigated, weather conditions studied and maps made of regions never visited by humans. Asked if a landing might be attempted at the South Pole, Captain Argles remarked: “Yes. we might.

“While accidents to false teeth are rare,” Dr. McGowan said, “a set may be dropped and broken or may be injured by biting upon something too hard. It is not uncommon, however, for an absent-minded wearer to mislay his teeth and he would hesitate to appear in public unless they were found.” a tt o AS an example of the extent of mortification and embarrassment that might be caused, he cited the case of a'society matron, who, because of an accident to her artificial teeth on the eve

JOBS YOU DO NOT WANT

Advertisers who offer fake employment schemes succeed in robbing men and women of thousands of dollars annually. Always beware of the attractive position offered if there is a string tied to it, Here are some examples of fake offerings: FOREIGN WORK —Men wanting work with' large oil companies in foreign fields write im-mediately-to the International Service Cos., Box 266, Dallas, Texas. This advertiser has no jobs to offer. He wants to collect $2 for a booklet telling you how to get a job, MEN —South American employment. $l5O-S4OO a month. Transportation furnished. Rush selfaddressed envelope for particulars, 15 Park Row, New York. This is also a fake. The promoter has something to sell. If you answer an advertisement and you receive a letter asking for a sum of money as a guarantee that you will take the position, or if you are requested to send money for further particulars, report the case to the Better Business Bureau. Companies advertising for women to work at home are usually frauds. They have something to sell and do not offer actual employment. Jobs requiring a “Cash Bond” should always be investigated carefully—so should jobs where an investment is required.

Before You Invest —Investigate

"nnHE loss of a set of artificial X teeth, which may represent an investment of as much as $5,000, not to speak of the annoyance to the loser, may be re- , garded by the humorist as a colossal joke, but to the victim it is tragedy. The practical joker, with his perverted sense of humor, has been known to hide a set of teeth belonging to another.” To those whose false teeth represent a big investment, to those who have enemies, Dr. McGowan advised a cheaper “spare” set to be worn when danger of theft presents itself.

FOREIGN-BORN VOTERS FAVOR HOOVERSTAND Nominee’s Plans to Open Immigration Gates Wins New Support. Bii Times Special WASHINGTON. Aug. 18.—Several large blocs of foreign-born voters probably will support Herbert Hoover in the coning election as a result of his acceptance speech. Hoover declared positively that he favors repeal of the national origins provision of the present immigration law. This provision has been temporarily set aside by Congress from time to time, but becomes effective if it is not repealed or deferred further. Under quotas based on national origins, German immigration would be more than cut in half. Hoover’s announcement will undoubtedly do much to win him the GermanAmerican vote. The quotas of Norway, Sweden and Denmark w r ould also be cut mar terially, and those of France, Switzerland, Poland and Cxecho-Slova-kia would be somewhat reduced. On the other hand several countries would gain considerably larger quotas if the new provision of the law were to go into effect. Great Britain would gain all that Germany lost, and more. Her quota, would be more than doubled and would become the largest. Both Irish Free State and Northern Ireland would gain, and so would Italy, Austria. Netherlands and Russia. Hoover is a member of the commission of three Cabinet members appointed to make a study of the national origins of peoples now in the United States, and determine new quotas on this basis as the immigration act of 1924 provided. The secretaries of State, Commerce and Labor have been working on this, but reported to Congress over a year ago that their tentative computations were not j 't to be satisfactory.
