Editor Timet — THOUSANDS of people are placing blame for a world-wide depression on President Hoover. Any sane person should know this can’t be true. I noticed particularly an article by a furloughed railroader. I would suggest that he seek further information regarding Mr. Hoover's railroad plan and how it is functioning. On the Pennsylvania railroad, St. Louis division, it is functioning. These employes work to a maximum and then are pulled out of service the remainder of the month, giving work to extra and emergency men, of which 100 or more shared last month. Seven hundred men are going to work in Terre Haute shops, w'ith five months’ work in sight. These plans were approved by Mr. Hoover, the railroads and the brotherhoods. If you belong to the brotherhood s you should be better posted. They are earnestly working to place von back at work. I am an ex-soldier and furloughed railroadman, and I don’t blame Mr. Hoover because I am cut off, nor did I blame Woodrow Wilson because I was a soldier, nor for the war. Our country has gone through panics and crises before, and always has come out of them, thanks to the American people and the G. O. P. Our goal is re-elect Mr. Hoover. AN EX-SOLDIER AND RAILROAD MAN. n n u Ed it nr Time* — SINCE Alice Roosevelt Longworth was in our city for the express purpose of helping Senator Watson win on election day, do you not think this a most suitable time to recall to the people's memory that her father, after his first term as President, left the Republican party and formed one of his owm, the Bull Moose, on which ticket he made the race and lost? How can she or the Republican party refer to him as being a credit or glory to that party? It does, however, show just how well he must have thought of the party. Also, we might mention the depression of 1907, which we had under his administration, and all others that came under or were the result of Republican rule. A READER. h n * Editor Times — ABOUT the article on reduction of taxes and its effect on the school term. My daughter is 13 years old and a freshman in high school. I want her to get all the education possible. But I do think eight months is long enough for any child to attend school. She is completely worn out by the end of the term. Besides, I love to have her at home with me and the vacation seems so short. Children are taught differently and so learn more in a much shorter period than in my school days. I remember just this last term both my daughters and my young niece came home and said, they, the teachers, were ‘‘just stalling to fill in the time,” almost all the last month. So why not eight months? I AM NOT PAYING TAXES. ft M * Editor Times — IN reading the letters in The Times of Oct. 6. I read one signed ‘ A Subscriber” and I just want to Voice my views on the subject of Hoover - viile. I don’t see how the residents of Hooverville or Curtisville could have picked a more appropriate name. No matter what Republicans do or aay, this depression will go down in historv as the Hoover Depression, as they still talk about Grover Cleveland’s panic, and it was good times compared to now. I don’t know who signed the letter, but whoever it was never has walked four miles for soup and bread and worked two days a week for a basket either, with never a nickel for anything else. Here's hoping for anew turn, a brighter outlook, and something to live for. And I'll sign my name. MRS. RAY THURSTON. 1326 South Kealing avenue. P. S. Hoover hasn't got me on a basket yet, but if he stays in four ! more years, I might be glad to get one. * MU P'ditor Timet — I NOTICE that Henry Ford has issued what amounts to an order to his employes to vote for Hoover, because ‘‘his defeat would hurt industry and employment. Just how much worse could employment be hurt in Mr. Ford’s plants, especially in Detroit, the hungriest city in the country? I, for one, think it ahout time that the American people quit paying any attention to Henry Ford's advice on any subject. He gives his views, as those of an ekpert. on the most abstruse subjects, about which he is an absolute ignoramus, and a lot of people fall for his bunk. If I remember Mr. Ford’s testimony correctly in the Chicago Tribune libel trial, when he was questioned about American history, he thought Benedict Arnold was the name of a toothpaste or an eyewash. That's what I think about Mr. Ford's advice—hogwash. A FORMER FORD EMPLOYE. * * Editor Timet — N AS a reader of The Times, 1 would like to have this question answered: “Is John N. Garner, candidate for Vice-President of the United States on the Democratic ticket, affiliated in any way whatsoever with the Catholic church?" W. H. Answer—According to a writer in Harper’s magazine this month, Mr. Garner is not a church member, but has South Methodist leanings. The Times has not verified this, as it does not believe that a candidate's religious affiliations or lack of them has any bearing on his fitness or unfitness for political office.

DERIDE CLAIM INSULLS ARE IN ‘POVERTY’ Samuel Jr. Has Income of SIOO,OOO a Year to Use in Battle. STIFF FIGHT IS SEEN How Vast Sums Were Poured Into La Salle Street Is Aired. By T nited Press CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—State's Attorney John A. Swanson today ridiculed the La Salle Street asser- ! tion that the Insull utilities dynasty was “too broke to be bankrupt,” and named what ne believed was the source of funds available to Samuel Insull in his fight against return from Greece to face criminal j charges here. Swanson said he had learned | Samuel Insull Jr. had an income of SIOO,QOO a year from four Insull op- | erating concerns. Young Insull now' is in Paris. His ' father is at Athens, Greece, fighting extradition to Chicago. The prosecutor said Insull Jr. was I in a position to finance a long legal I battle if necessary. The elder In- ! sull also has an income from the loperating utilities amounting to $21,- ! 000 a year. Insull Has Ample Funds As vice-chairman of Commonwealth Edison Company, Peoples Gas, Light and Coke Company and Public Service of Northern Illinois, Insull Jr. receives $25,000 from each. He also gets $25,000 as president of Midland United. “The Insulls are far from being poverty stricken," John J. Bailey, auditor aiding Swanson, said. “They are in a financial position to put up a stiff fight.” The investigation was made after reports from Europe indicated Insull had ample funds at his disposal. The state’s attorney’s office plans to question young Insull regarding his finances on his return from Paris expected atymt Nov. 10. ‘ Accountants have revealed that the fugitive Samuel Insull poured more than $10,000,000 into La Salle street—bourse of the midwest—during the height of his career as a twentieth century Croesus. Cue for Bear Raid In 1930 and 1931, when Insull was one of the foremost business men in the United States, according to Swanson, he advanced fortunes to three of the largest brokerage houses in Chicago. Pynchon and Cos., one of the concerns, later failed. Involved deals with Insull and his multitudinous corporations were reported to have so weakened the concern that it no longer could carrry on. The failure was the cue for a bear raid upon the stock market here and in New York. The Middle West Utilities Company, Insull’s three billion dollar holding company, purchased 1.000 shares of stock in A. B. Leach and Company in December, 1929, for $129,750, said Swanson. In 1930 and 1931 Middlewest Utilities advanced Leach and Company, $5,911,375 and later wrote off the whole amount as a total loss, he added. Probe Margin Accounts Sw r anson said his accountants learned that Middle West gave Hill. Joiner <fc Cos. $1,462,538 and Pynchon $170,301, and likewise charged these sums to surplus. The accountants also discovered that Middle West shouldered $2,907.681 in Hill, Joiner & Co.’s bank loans, said the prosecutor. The paper is held by three of Chicago’s largest banks and the loan still is on the books of Middle West Utilities. Swanson now is seeking the reason for Insulls enormous investments in brokerage houses, and is trying to dicover how' far-reaching were the margin accounts of Insull and his brother Martin.

HE was tall and stooped. Patches of gray clouded his temples. “Could I have a bit of food, sir? I haven't eaten since yesterday.” The steely glint of his eyes wandered from the face of the manager of a South Illinois street restaurant toward the tables —the counter lined with food. The proprietor nodded assent. “Sit down,” he said. The stranger crouched at the counter. He breathed uneasily, eyes the persons seated at his el-

Jobless Clubs

Leisure Hour Movement Wants to Assist Unemployment.

IF you're one of a bunch of fellows in your neighborhood who have been sitting on a park bench, and don’t know where you’ll go during the winter months, or you’re a member of a family who doesn’t know what to do with yourself between trips to the county trustees for food, then there's a chance to start the ball rolling to amuse you and your friends and acquaintances in a similar plight. Dwight S. Ritter, director of the Leisure Hour Clubs of Indianapolis, wants to widen the scope: of formation of organizations to care for the spare time of the unemployed. He requests that you get in touch with him if you know of a group of unemployed persons who want day-time club rooms for entertainments and games. “We’ll try to find these groups club rooms to shelter them. They can use the rooms or buildings for playing the games, reading, and discussions. It is hqped that communities or sections of the city not near park community houses Will be interested in this manner of making the spare time of the lean winter days more profitable and more cheery.” St St It RITTER hopes to develop checker champions and domino “sharks” in the daytime clubrooms and the Leisure Hour clubs already organized with {he probability that a championship tourney will be staged between the experts in each club. He asks that groups of unemployed workers interested in the daytime club or the formation of weekly programs under the auspices of a Leisure Hour club write him at 811 Majestic building or telephone him at Lin. 2737.

JOBLESS FIGHT LONDON POLICE Mobs Battle With Officers in Westminster. By United Brest LONDON, Oct. 19.—Labor ite leaders in the London county council threatened today to create “havoc and chaos” throughout London unless they receive additional unemployment relief, although peace returned to the “Westminster front” after hours of fighting between police and unemployed. Thousands of demonstrators were charged by foot and mounted police in the Lambeth and Southwark districts near the county hall, and across Westminster bridge from the houses of parliament. While Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, was upholding in parliament the agreements reached at the Ottawa imperial conference, and Dominions Secretary J. H. Thomas announced denunciation of a trade agreement with Soviet Russia, police batons cracked many a head. Officers dodged milk bottles, stones and crockery thrown from windows. Many casualties were revealed among police and demonstrators when the disturbances ended about 9:30 p. m. There had been fighting on both sides of Westminster bridge the unemployed disregarded the ban on demonstrations within a mile of the houses of Parliament. The county council received a petition from a deputation of the unemployed demanding additional financial assistance, free meals for school children of the unemployed, a hundredweight of coal free for each unemployed householder, and a general 25 per cent reduction in all rents.

COLD WAVE COMING HERE, IS FORECAST Temperatures to Drop Below' Normal, Armington Predicts. Light rains and unsettled conditions here tonight and Thursday will be followed by considerably cooler weather within thirty-six hours, j. H. Armington, weather forecaster, predicted. Although the approaching cool area will not bring severe cold, temperatures will drop several degrees below normal, he forecast. Storm areas hovering over the Dakotas and Minnesota caused sharp decline in mercury readings in the lake states and Rocky mountains, but the effect will not be felt sharply here, Armington said. SEALS SALE STRESSED Redoubled Efforts to Dispose of T. B. Stamps Urged. Redoubled effort this year in the sale of Christmas seals has been urged of volunteer workers throughout the state in a bulletin issued from headquarters of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association here by Dr. Will J. Martin, president. The bulletin, preparatory to starting the annual campaign to raise funds to continue the association’s work, points out that economic conditions might work against raising sufficient funds to meet necessary expenses. ‘•The tuberculosis campaign now is one that aids in the fight against nearly every other disease,” the bulletin declares.

'Complete Exoneration’ Is Plea in Answer to Reynolds Family. By f nited Press WINSTON SALEM, N. C., Oct. 19.—Benet Polikoff, chief of defense counsel for Libby Holman Reynolds, said he talked with her over longdistance telephone today and that she was “not satisfied” to have the state drop the charge she murdered her husband, Smith Reynolds, youthful tobacco fortune heir. “I want this cloud over me lifted permanently, not temporarily,” Polikoff quoted Miss Holman assaying. “My earnest desire is for complete exoneration,” she told Polikoff. The attorney refused to reveal the whereabouts of his client. Richard J. Reynolds Jr., brother of Smith, said today he “fully approved” the suggestion that murder charges aaginst Smith’s widow, Libby Holman, and Ab Walker, be dropped. Prosecutor Is Undecided Reynolds said he was in “hearty accord” with the letter written by his uncle, Will N. Reynolds, to State Solicitor Carlisle Higgins saying the Reynolds family would be “quite happy if it should be your decision to drop the case.” State Solicitor Carlisle Higgins issued a statement saying he has not determined whether to move to quash the murder indictment against Libby and Reynolds’ best friend. Ab Walker. He indicated he would have an announcement before the date set for trial, probably late in November. “I have the letter of W. M. Reynolds in my pocket,” the statement said, “and as yet have not determined what my course of action shall be. Os course, I will give it every possible consideration and very likely will be more strongly guided by it than by any other source.” The position of the Reynolds fam- . ily in the death of the heir to part of the vast tobacco fortune was revealed in a letter made public late Tuesday. Evidence Held “Weak” Neither defendant was mentioned by name, nor was it admitted that there was a thought entertained by the family that Smih killed himself. But the letter admitted “the evidence fails to prove conclusively that Smith was murdered.” After assuring Higgins that if he should see fit to drop the cases, there would be no criticism from the Reynolds family, this statement was made: In fact, all of us would be quite happy if it should be your decision to drop the cases. Distressed as we all are; none of us can find any pleasure in a prosecution that was not fully sustained by the circumstances of his death.” Law Firm Makes Probe The letter was based on legal advice of a Winston-Salem law firm retained by the family to delve exhaustively into every phase of the case, so the family might reach its own determination as to whether it actively would support the prosecution of Libby and Walker. A statement from the law firm said that in the investigations they had been “unable to discover evidence which in our opinion would justify us in advising the family to : join in the prosecution of the indictment.” Smith, playboy heir to an estimated $15,000,000 estate held in trust, was shot fatally the night of July 5. after a gay party at Reynolda, the family estate at WinstonSalem.

The coffee was down to the dregs. The doughnut had vanished. “Hard times really get under the skin, don’t they?” he was asked. "These ain’t hard times, I’ve seen worse.

G. 0. P. Trying to Stampede Electorate as Last Resort, He Charges. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WHEELING, W. Va., Oct. 19. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt today charged his Republican opponents with trying to instill panic into the voters. “You have been told that things might have been worse, and will be worse if I am elected to office,” Roosevelt said in his speech here. “To attempt to instill panic into the electorate at a time when we must all have courage and a firm belief that the American characteristic of finding answers to problems will bring us back on the upward trail, is a method of campaigning which does little credit to leaders still at this time entrusted with the welfare of the United States.” Answers G. O. P. Charges He answered Republican charges that his tariff position would endanger the well-being of American labor. “I have not advocated, and I never will advocate, a tariff policy which will withdraw protection from American workers against those countries which employ cheap labor or who operate under a standard of living which is lower than that of our own great laboring groups.” Taking up the phrase “things might have been worse” which President Hoover used in his Des Moines and Cleveland speeches, Roosevelt said things also might have been better. Roosevelt said conditions might have been worse, but for the functioning of two agencies, the federal reserve system and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, both of which he asserted were of Democratic inspiration. The federal reserve system, the Democratic candidate said, “was the product of a Democrat—Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, and became a law only after the most bitter Republican opposition.” Tells of R. F. C. Stand Tjie Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Roosevelt continued, “is as much a Democratic measure as a Republican measure—for it was passed in the spirit of bi-partisan co-operation in the congress.” Roosevelt also sa.d he wanted it understood he never had objected to establishment of the R. F. C., but only to the administration's operation of it in a way that failed to spread its benefits to the men lower in the economy scale. Pennsylvania's thirty-six electoral votes were the prize Roosevelt hopes to win in his speech at Pittsburgh tonight when 100,000 are expected to hear him. The Roosevelt special reached Pittsburgh at 9 a. m. after an overnight run from Buffalo. Pausing long enough to change from his private car into an automobile, the Democratic presidential candidate left there immediately to drive to Wheeling. Attacks Colonel Donovan On the way back to Pittsburgh, his route was arranged to take him into the eastern fringe of Ohio through Steubenville. Roosevelt in two New York state speeches Tuesday, ac Rochester and , Buffalo, represented himself as; champion of the “forgotten man.” j He included “my old friend, A1 Smith,” as one of the original collaborators m a program of state; welfare legislation intended tq protect the ‘forgotten man,” and attacked Colonel William J. Donovan, Republican nominee for Governor of New York, who he said Lad asked what the Democrats had dope for the “forgotten man.”

“We were just poor. There were ten of us, eight kids. It was last winter. I couldn’t find work, and I hated to see those kids starving, so I went out to rob. “And I did. I stuck up a grocery store and they caught me. They convicted me and sent me to jail. But here I am,” he said. “Then you escaped?” he was asked. "You’re right, podner, and here I am," he replied. He disappeared in a crowd of passersby.

LA FOLLETTE BACKING GOES TO ROOSEVELT Wisconsin Senator Comi mends Liberal Views of Nominee. ASSAILS ‘OLD PARTIES’ But He Also Will Vote for Democratic Choice for Governor. j By United Press , MADISON, Wis., Oct. 19.—Senator Robert M. LaFollette Jr., leader of the Progressive Republican factor in Wisconsin, announced today his support of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for President. He announced his bolt of the Republican ticket in a statement commending the liberal views of Roose- ( velt while, at the same time, declaring that he has “no illusions about either of the two old political parties.” Young La Follette also announced he would vote for Albert G. Schmedeman, Democratic nominee for Governor, and F. Ryan Duffy, the party's nominee for United States senator, and added that progressive Republicans, who were victorious in the recent primary would receive his support. New Party Is Hinted He hinted at formation of anew political party, progressive in prinI ciples. In a 1,700-word statement, he ex- | pressed confidence that “ultimately there will be anew political alignment that will afford a definite party organization for those who believe in the fundamental concepts of democracy.” Os Roosevelt, he commented: “Franklin D. Roosevelt has taken a position on some questions with which many progressives are not in accord. “On others he has not yet declared himself. “By and large, however, he expresses in his speeches a liberal point of view upon certain economic issues which, taken together with i his record as Governor, makes it I consistent for progressives to supi port him in this particular cam- : paign.” He warned, however, that if Roosevelt is elected, he would feel free to oppose any policies not in accordance with his own views. No Hope for Socialists La Follette dismissed the Socialist party as not offering “an organization with which Progressives permanently can affiliate and expect to see their principles worked out in state and nation.” La Follette’s younger brother, Phillip F., elected governor two years ago, was defeated for re- ; nomination by Walter Kohler, wealthy manufacturer. John B. Chappie, young editor,won the Republican nomination for j United States senator over another progressive Republican, Senator John J. Blaine. La Follette assailed the Republi--1 can regulars, who defeated his brother for renomination. He asserted that “upon his record, I do i not see how any progressive can vote for President Hoover.” CITY STARS ENTERED IN BRIDGE OLYMPIC Contract Classic to Be Played Tonight at Columbia Club.
