HOOVER SPEECH TIPOFF TO HIS WINTERSTAND Capitol Hill Observers See Legion Remarks as Hint of Veto Policy. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Prf** SUIT Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—The grim tone of President Hoover’s American Legion speech at Detroit was regarded by his associates here today as a reliable index to the attitude the White House wili take in the gigantic struggle over many forms of federal relief in the coming winter. His reference to an emergency “second only to war,” his appeal to the war veterans for a virtual moratorium on their demands until after the depression, his assertion that the government treasury can bear no additional drain without “grave risks,” and his declaration that an attempt to bring heavy taxes out of the rich soon would strike the point of diminishing returns and throw the burden on those who work in the fields, and at bench and desk, presented a council of caution for the whole country. See Veto Forecast While the short word “veto” did noi, appear in his address, his associates saw in his address a forecast that the presidential pen be pointed against expensive relief legislation next winter. The Quaker President’s message to the Legion bristled with the terms “war” and "fight.” He gave inferential warning there will be no White House moratorium on veto messages. In this address Mr. Hoover revealed the first hint of his attitude toward increasing agitation for heavier taxes on the rich led by Representative Isaac Bacharach, wealthy New Jersey Republican and influential on the house ways and means committee. “Do not be misled by those who say that we need only to tax the rich to obtain the funds we need,” Mr. Hoover told the Legion. “We must face the absolute fact that the rich can be taxed to the point of diminishing returns, and still the deficit in our ordinary and necessary expenditures would not be covered even upon a basis of the utmuot economy.” Hoover Well Satisfied As the presidential party left Detroit members were told that administration friends in the legion were confident the convention would refrain from demanding full payment of bonus certificates. The matter, it was forecast in information given the presidential party, would be left to the executive committee for decision next winter in the light of conditions at that time. Apparently well satisfied with the effect of his sudden trip to Detroit, Mr. Hoover showed himself, on the return trip, more than unusually anxious to get back to Washington. He asked train operatives to arrange the schedule so he could reach the White House in time for breakfast.

GERMANS BROKE BUT CHEERFUL, CITY MAN FINDS

Still Love Their Beer, but Tax Lessens Drinking, Says Stegemeier. BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM Broke, but cheerful. This describes the condition of the German people, according to Richard W. Stegemeier, Indianapolis pioneer restaurant operator, who has returned from several weeks’ visit in Germany, his birthplace. “Germany has been hit hard by the business depression and by after effects of the war,” Stegemeier said. “Outwardly the people are happy and optimistic. "However, they haven’t much hope for a change for the better until they are relieved of the burdensome war debt. At present conditions have been improved by the one-year moratorium, but they feel this merely is a temporary respite. “While there are thousands jobless, I saw no signs of starvation, due to the government’s dole system and a form of compulsory unemployment insurance. However, the huge sum of money required by this system of pensions threatens to bankrupt the nation. “When you walk into the smaller stores you find no customers there and no lights in the store. The lights only are turned on when a customer walks in. “Wages in Germany only are half as high as in the United States, while prices of food and other articles are practically as high as here. “In addition, the people are taxed heavily. While Germany has few automobiles—most of the people riding bicycles—there is a tax of SSO or $75 on automobiles, with a $5 driver license fee. Gasoline costs 45 cents a gallon and coffee from 75 cents to $1 a pound. “While the Germans still love

Playing Hookey? No! Lad, 4, Just Efficient

By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—Alfred Guntburger, a “young man’* of 4, decided the Clifton hotel would be nearer to his school than the home of hisaunt, Mrs. Belle Levenson, on Lexington avenue. So, without mentioning the matter to his aunt, since women always seek to interfere with a man’s plans, he packed his pajamas, two school suits and a toothbrush in newspapers, and prepared to move. With extraordinary foresight, he also took charge of a quart of milk from his aunt's refrigerator, and went forth with his entire allowance—s cents plus a penny saved out of last week’s salary.

their beer, there is less drinking because of the heavy tax on liquor. Beer that formerly sold for 10 pfennigs, 216 cents, now sells for 40 pfennigs a small glass. “The nation still retains its hospitable traits, engendered by the sociable habit of beer drinking in the wehrt schafts, or country inns. “The German people are very friendly toward America, but still bear a grudge against France, which they feel is too ‘snippy’ after having recovered from effects of the war. ■ “They have no love for the former kaiser, when the;/ compare his exile in Holland, living in affluence, with their poverty-stricken condition. “They also resent the German system of pensioning high public officials, such as members of the reichstag, after they have left office, feeling the poor need the money more.” Stegemeier, who came to this country in 1891, had not visited Germany since 1900. He said he particularly was impressed by the cultivation of every inch of land available, a result of war needs, and the beauty of the country. “Everywhere I went I was greeted by flowers,” he said. “Every lit-

Nevertheless, he engaged a taxicab and arrived safely at the hotel, where his parents—now vacationing In another city —had engaged an apartment. The hotel clerk obligingly paid the taxicab bill and ushered Alfred into the vacant suite. Police, hot on Alfred’s trail, spurred by a frantic aunt to whose care the lad had been confined, arrived at the hotel and found him calmly preparing to sleep. “You see,” he explained to the officers, “I was afraid I would be late for school.” Alfred’s aunt promised that he would be awakened in time today.

FDES GLOAT AT MELLON UPSET Pittsburgh Defeat May Have National Angles. By Stripps-Hotcard Xetc*paper AUiasea WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Th defeat of the so-called “Mellon machine” by Pittsburgh voters in the primary election is expected here to have echoes in the national elections next year. City and county machines, controlling power in western Pennsylvania politics for years, took the worst drubbing in thirty years, politicians assert. Mayor Charles Kline, whose administration has been investigated by a Pittsburgh grand jury, lost three of his four candidates for city council and with them his complete domination of the city pay roll. Nationally, the result is expected to enhance the fortunes of Pinchot in western Pennsylvania, particularly if he opposes Senator James J. Davis in the senatorial primary next spring. Armstrong and Davis are old friends.
