BORAH CAUSTIC WITH HOOVER'S SEA ARMS CUT President’s Plan *Too Modest,* Declares Senator in Latest Statement. /? ■/ (trrlpps-Unu-ard \ruipapcr Itlionre Washington, oct. 2— senator William E. Borah, chairman of the ficna'p foreign relations committee, today called upon the United States to assume world leadership with a more far-reaching proposal for a haval buiiding holiday than that contemplated bv President Hoover. Arriving early to formulate a committee program for consideration of the world court, the German moratorium and other international problems, Borah reiterated his proposal for a five-year holiday. Hoover’s demand for reduction of the naval budget from 5401.000.000 t.O $340,000,000, which permits new construction of $65,000,000 in the next fiscal year, is “extremely modest,” in the senator’s opinion. Longer Time Needed He believes a longer breathing spell should be given the world powers in the hope that Europe first will settle its economic and political problems and then "think seriously” of radical reduction of fleets and armies at Geneva next February. Referring to White House resentment at admirals’ efforts to obtain larger sums for new building, and the prospect that Hoover may take the issue to the country, Borah said: I see it has been suggested that this matter be taken to the country. What a blessing it would be if the whole federal budget could be taken j to the country!” In view of hardships in rural and urban districts, and the fear of greater suffering next winter. Borah j believes the nation would support a more far-reaching cut than the President proposes. Brought l ine Response From all sections of the country and the world, it is known, his original demand for a naval holiday brought favorable responses, and prayers that the United States would lead the way. Meanwhile, there are indications the administration may follow the senator's suggestion if the other world powers concerned Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan—prove agreeable to the idea. When Pierre Laval, French premier, visits Washington next month, the President and Secretary Stimson may take the matter up with him, for France is regarded as i the key nation in the disarmament j situation. Laval, incidentally, has expressed a desire to meet Borah,; and the latter said he would be glad j to talk with the French representa- 1 tive. DISPLAY STUTZ.

DRIVE LAUNCHED FOR $12,000,000 JOBLESS RELIEF New York Is Told Riots Will Force Dole Unless Sum Is Raised. Bn United press NEW YORK. Oct. 3—Unemployed masses will riot and the i "dole” will be forced on the states | unless rich individuals and private i organizations give adequate aid. acI cording to former Governor Alfred E. Smith and Thomas W. Lamont. j Smith. Democratic presidential 1 candidate in 1928. and Lamont, internationally known expert on economics and partner of J. P. Morgan, made these predictions Friday at a meeting of leading business men and industrialists, inaugurating a drive for a $12,000,000 unemployment fund here. ‘ Today we are engaged in a war —a war to overcome destitution, Hunger, homelessness, misery, despair,” Lamont sadi.

Goal 50 Per Cent Higher Last winter a committee headed by Seward Prosser raised more than $8,000,000 for the unemployed. This year, with the city's unemployed estimated at 750,000, including some 160,0000 who have exhausted what meager savings they had with which to face the depression, the goal has been set 50 per cent higher. “Some ills of the current economic depression can be cured by time,” Lamont said, “but unemployment is not one of them. Unemployment is worse than physical disease, because, unrelieved, it leads to demoralization in so many ways. “We have looked across the ocean and have seen what are the apparent effects so almost exclusive state aid —that is to say, the dole. Donations Safest Way “Unless through private efforts we do our share to relieve the unemployment situation, we shall inevitably load ali the burden on the state. But it is not the American way!” “Unless employment is found for the jobless,” said Smith, “unless relief will come to them, they may be tempted to do that desperate act that may be more costly to society in the long run than would a liberal donation of funds from those that can afford it to bring that necessary relief.” New York state has appropriated $20,000,000 for unemployment relief this winter and Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt has appointed a committee, headed by Jesse I. Straus, to administer the fund.

The works board today decided not to act on bids for ten days which automatically sets them aside. The board then will be faced with readvertising for bids for the fourth time in the last few weeks. Decision against action was made by the board after a fight between asphalt and cement interests. A cement contractor alleged asphalt interests had “bought” signatures of persons who signed petitions for the street to be paved with the material. Widening and paving of the remainder of the street east of Capitol avenue, already let to contractors, will be continued.

CHARGE FRAUD IN LETTING OF BUS CONTRACTS Lawrence Township Action Is Target of Suits in Circuit Court. Fraud in the letting of school bus driving contracts in Lawrence township was charged in suits filed in circuit court Friday by bidders whose bids for the driving jobs were rejected. The court was asked to cancel contracts, awarded Julv 21, by Trustee Henry T. Van Cleave’ and William H. Mock, Carl E. Plummer and George J. Herr, advisory board members, all of whom are defendants. In one suit on bus route o. 1, Chester C. Negley, a farmer, charges that his own low bid of $4.25 a day was refused and preference was given to the bid of Walter Messer - smith at $5 a day. Other bids each were $5 also, submitted by Watt Hartman and Arthur E. Carrors. the suit asserts. Walter E. Sutton filed a suit on Route No. 4, on which Sutton declares he offered a bid of $3.97, which was rejected. Chester Morgan was the successful bidder at $5 a_ day and Grover Everett, who bid $5.50, was the other bidder, the suit set forth. Contracts are “fraudulent and void because they were not awarded to the lowest and most responsible biddders,” as provided by law, the suit contends. Van Cleave defended the contracts Friday by saying “they were let to the lowest and best bidders and that physical fitness and driving ability of applicants were among qualifications considered by the board.”

ROOSEVELT OUT FIRMLY AGAINST FARM PANACEAS Article in Magazine Stirs Capital: Hyde Construes It in Hoover Favor. B 7 Seripps-Howard Scicspaper AWnnr 9 WASHINGTON. Oct. 2—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt’s farm views as set forth in the current issue of the Country Home, a leading agricultural magazine, today creat- | cd a first-class political sensation : at the capital. The long-time program for improvement of agriculture advanced Iby *he Democrats’ prospective presidential candidate in 1932, together with his declaration against ! “overnight or one-year marvels," was interpreted by Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, as a virtual indorsement of President Hoover's farm philosophy. j It was construed by certain westi ern Progressives, who have indicated a liking for Roosevelt for his liberal views on water power, as disapproval of such emergency proposals as the debenture and equalization fee. Strangely enough, the Roosevelt article coincided with the statement of Senator William E. Borah 1 (Rep., Ida.) that he looked for rej vival of both these ideas at the 1 coming session. Referring to the Roosevelt program, which contemplates proper i utilization of land as the basis of his plan, Hyde said: "We have been working along j those lines for many years, and con- ! centrating on that very thing for ten years. As I read it. Governor Roosevelt approves the underlying ; philosophy of the Hoover administration with respect to the betI terment of agriculture.”
