CURB ON DOLE STIRS BRITISH TO RIOT FURY 600,000 Are Disqualified by ‘Means’ Test and Great Saving Is Made. DEFICIT GROWS FAST Job Insurance Fund Is Far in Debt: Millions See Winter of Want. What happened In operation of Great Britain> dole mtero to bring the sudden rioting bv unemployed? How does the means test,.' against which the Jobless are protesting, function? The following article analyzes the present unemployment situation in Great Britain.) BV HERBERT MOORE United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Nov. 3.—Jobless thousands, bitter over a government regulation that so tar has deprived 600,000 unemployed of their dole benefits, are battling police this week in an attempt to reach parliament with a protest. Britain's nearly 3,000,000 unemployed see, as a result of dole re-strict!-ms and economy in relief measures, a winter of hunger and deprivation before them. Their increasing complaints are aimed at government economies put into effect to balance the budget. The national unemployment insurance system—the worlds most gigantic jobless insurance machine — still exists, but it has been clipped and economy-axed almost beyond recognition. The cumulative effect has been to upset the “standard of surviving. ’ which the dole guaranteed Britain’s unemployed from 1911 to 1932. Attitude Changes Violently An unprecedented change has come in the attitude, of the jobless. They, with their dependents, number almost 25 per cent of the entire population. The 10 per cent cut in the weekly dole benefits a year ago did not. stir them to violence. But the operation of the "means teat” has embittered them to a dangerous decree. Communist influences are exploiting this growing resentment. When the “means test” was instituted, it was estimated that, it could be applied to 927,000 persons, with a saving to the government of approximately $50,000,000 a year. Thus far more than 600,000 have been disqualified and approximately $40,000,000 has been saved. Still the unemployment insurance fund is in debt to the extent of $575,000,000, and is running further into debt at a rate of $1,000,000 a week. The government is meeting these deficits out of current revenue, while waiting for recommendations from the royal commission. Branded as “Inquisition" The “means test” was brought into operation on Nov. 12, 1931, under the national economy act. According to Labor party leaders, it amounts to an “inquisition,” and is reducing nearly a million honest and willing unemployed persons, out of work through no fault of their own, to *he status of paupers. The national government, for the sake of balancing the budget, had cut the dole benefits and increased the contributions into the dole fund. It decided at the same time that all jobless persons drawing the “transitional benefit” would have to prove the extent of their means and their right to draw such payments. It was decided further that the lully-insured unemployed drawing the dole could do so only for twentysix weeks in a period of twelve months. After this right is exhausted, they must qualify for further “transitional benefit” by proving their need again. The weekly dole benefits, always paid in cash, have been reduced by 10 per cent, while the weekly contributions by the insured workers, their employers, and the government, have been increased by about 20 per cent.

Married Women Barred Under the “removal of anomalies” act. married women out of work were disqualified in most cases from any sort of dole. Seasonal workers w'ho habitually work only two days or less each week likewise can not share benefits. It has been estimated that about 100,090 women and at least 27.000 workers have been disqualified under these regulations. 'fnus the general effect of the government’s alterations in the dole have been to disqualify approximately 750.000 since November of last year. By the time it has reached its full effect, the figure probably will reach 1,000,000. The only recourse these disqualified persons will have will be the poor law or private charity. 2 KINDS OF ‘HOLDUP’ IN LOOT OF BANDITS Suspenders and Garters are Taken from Parked Car. Two forms of “hold-up” loot were obtained from the automobile of Harry Abrahamson. Chicago, parked at Washington street and Capitol avenue. Abrahamson’s sample case, containing suspenders and garters, was stolen. Others whose parked cars were looted are: Alfred H. Shouff, 1723 North Meridian street, clothing and books, SSO: L. M.

Elaborate preparations have been completed for the torchlight parade and rally in honor of Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic senatorial nominee, at Anderson Friday night, i This meeting will open the last 1 three days of the Intensive Democratic senatorial drive. Van Nuys will be the honor guest at a dinner at Anderson. It will be followed by a parade, in which [ thousands will participate, featured by floats representing all townships and the issues in the campaign. The address will be delivered in the high school gymnasium. Lee Montgomery, Madison county chairman, is in charge of arrangements. Gary to Greet Hoover By I nUrti Pres* GARY. Ind., Nov. 3.—Republicans of northwestern Indiana will greet President Hoover when he arrives here Friday morning- for a fifteenminute campaign speech. The President, en route to Spring- i field, 111., and St. Louis for two ■ major campaign speeches, wiil speak from a temporary platform in Gateway Plaza, according to tentative plans of Calumet district Republican leaders. The plaza will be equipped with amplifiers. The surrounding park will accommodate several thousand persons. Senator James E. Watson, in Gary for his major Lake county meeting Friday night, will introduce the President. Raymond Springer, Republican candidate for Governor, conducting a two-day campaign in the county, will be on the speakers’ platform. A parade, from the railway station to the plaza, led by school bands, is being planned. Schools will be dismissed during the morning. Mayor R. O. Johnson will welcome the President and his party. Mrs. Hoover will be the guest of Mrs. Johnson. Curtis at Richmond By United Pres* RICHMOND. Ind., Nov. 3.—Work of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in its “aid for the masses” was outlined by Vice-President Charles Curtis in a campaign address here Wednesday night. It was his second appeal to Indiana voters in as many days, as he spoke the previous night at Sheridan. Although not stressing farm legislation of the Republican administration as heavily as he did at Sheridan. Curtis touched on relief brought by the G. O. P„ while he attacked what he described as the “complete failure” of Democrats to offer a workable plan. “In 1920, when farmers asked the Wilson administration to save them from ruin and bankruptcy,” Curtis said, “they were refused. A year later, after Republicans again took control, farmers were given ample relief.” Curtis detailed workings of the R. F. C. to show that it aided the masses as well as industrial leaders. He quoted Atlee Pomerene, chairman of the R. F. C. board, to show that funds were loaned 3,600 banks, with 70 per cent in towns with a population of 5,000 or less. "Asa result of the diligent work of President Hoover, business conditions are improving. Many factories have started on full time operation. Circulation of money is improved and under the leadership of President Hoover the nation is recovering from its economic stress,” Curtis declared. Income Tax Advocated Adoption of the income tax amendment to the Indiana Constitution and passage of an income tax law at the next session of the legislature were urged on Wednesday night by Charles F. Remy, former appellate court judge, in aji address to members of the Irvington Taxpayers’ League. He termed the Indiana Constitution an out-of-date document, and said the opinion of the Indiana supreme, court that the legislature could not call a constitutional convention, is “foolish.” Actum of the special session in adopting the $1.50 tax rate limit was called by Remy the greatest forward legislative step in forty years. It has made the public tax conscious. he said, and is the forerunner of additional property tax relief. which may be expected in 1933. ‘Free Luesse First’ "If elected Governor, my first official act will be to free Theodore Luesse from the Indiana state farm.” This declaration was made today by Powers Hapgood, Socialist candidate for Governor. Luesse, serving out a SSOO fine, in addition to a one-year sentence, for trying to prevent eviction of an unemployed Negro family, is a

GLASS-MILLS RADIO DUEL STIRS MEMORIES OF DAYS WHEN RAPIERS FLASHED

BY RUTH FINNEY Tto-.e* SUIT Writer TT7ASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The ’ ’ Carter Glass-Ogden Mills duel with microphones from studios on opposite sides of the Potomac provides a curious modern parallel to the political battles of Thomas Jefferson, another famous Virginian, and Alexander Hamilton, another New York financier. Rapiers and pistols flashed on dueling grounds between the political antagonists of those faroff days. The tradition that fierce quarrels must be settled by "pistols for two, coffee for one" claimed the life of Hamilton at the hands of Aaron Burr on the banks of the Hudson, and others fought on a bloody ground at Hyattsville, Md„ just outside the capital.

Professor Elbert D. Thomas By \EA Service O ALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 3.—A progressive movement headed by Dr. Elbert D. Thomas this year is threatening, as never before, the thirty-year United States senate career of Reed Smoot, chairman of the senate finance committee. Until a few months ago Smoot’s re-election was considered a foregone conclusion, as he had been going back to the senate term after term since his first election in 1902. But Thomas, professor of history and political science at the university of Utah, started campaigning as the Democratic nominee at the rate of six to eight speeches a. day. He sounded a progressive note. His policies were directed to the younger generation of the Mormon church, to hard-pressed farmers and to unemployed miners. And Smoot, now 70. finds himself in his first real fight since 1914 when he won by only 3,000 votes. Thomas is 49. Both Smoot and Thomas are potent figures in the Mormon church. But the claim is made that the younger element may rebel against the stand-pat ideas of Smoot and switch to Thomas. candidate for Governor on the Communist ticket. Pet peeve of the Communist is the Socialist and much of the speeches of the former are given to berating the latter. “We would retain all civil liberties, while the Communist would sacrifice freedom of speech, press and religious worship,” Hapgood declared. “Nevertheless, I would turn Luesse loose and let him talk against us. That is the real test of freedom of speech, and I believe that this civil liberty has been denied him under the present administration. “He is imprisoned wrongfully and should be freed.” Zahnd Hits Money System “Money dealers are the only persons benefited by the gold standard,” John Zahnd, National party nominee for President told an audience of 3.500 at Cadle tabernacle Wednesday night. Zahnd said the depression will end when congress passes a law providing for creation of money at cost and allowing no interest, and attacked the system whereby the money system is “farmed out to private interests.” Communists are a credit compared with Wall street bankers, who, by | the inflation and deflation racket, 1 are taking homes of the American people.” he said. Zahnd indorsed Norman Thomas, Socialist presidential nominee, as “a good man.” w ____ Colbv to Speak Here Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state during the Woodrow Wilson administration ana former law partner of the war President, will close the Democratic campaign in Marion county with an address at Cadle Tabernacle Friday night. Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier, a Negro newspaper, also will speak. No other meetings will be held

Carter Glass comes from that southern breed which is in deadly earnest about its beliefs. His doctor warned him not to get out of bed to make his address Tuesday night, for Glass has been ill since congress adjourned, from the grueling months of controversy dVer banking legislation. He is 74 years old. But Glass told the doctor he rather would be dead than sit by silent while Hoover campaigned with “statements flagrantly contrary to fact." He made his address and banged the desk in front of the microphone. and then he listened while Secretary Mills answered him. He expected to ma*ke a reply in re-

Roosevelt that the United States supreme court has been under Republican control. Courts are non-partisan, regardless of the politics of the President making the appointments, Ogden contended* Ogden made his statement in a Hoover re-election speech at the Warren tow'nship Republican Club at the Land o’ Dance, Wednesday night. Clancy Sounds Warning There is ample reason to fear a change in the national administration. Sumner Clancy, Coffin leader in the state senate when a senator from Marion county, told a i rally crowd Wednesday, night at Red Men’s hall, Morris and Lee streets. Clancy quoted such business analysts as Babson, Moody, Brokenmire and Standard Statistics, reading from one of the reports w'hicli said: "Mr. Roosevelt can not be looked upon as having developed any consistent economic policy or program of fiscal control.” U. S. Combat Frauds Reports of fraud in connection with the general election next Tuesday will be investigated by the federal government and guilty persons punished, District Attorney George R. Jeffrey warned today. Jeffrey pointed out that inasmuch as this will be a presidential election, the department of justice will investigate thoroughly any reports of poll frauds, intimidation of voters, or attempted bribery of voters. Dinner Is Canceled A dinner scheduled for tonight at the Claypool by legislative associates of Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic candidate for United States senator, has been canceled at Van Nuys’ request, because of the death of the mother of D.

buttal, but. after hearing Mills, decided it was not necessary. FRIENDS wish Glass and Mills had met face to face to debate, instead of sitting in front of microphones several miles apart. Mills is a big man, burly, rubicund. with a deep voice. Glass is exceedingly small, but exceedingly dramatic. He dances about as be talks, and shakes his head and his fist. His words, for all his soft voice, are sharp and colorful, and they sound particularly fierce coming from one corner of his mouth. Glass’ prestige as an expert in financial matters made his address one of the most effective blows yet struck at the administration; and if the address is to go down in history as a pivotal point in a vital campaign, the story of how this prestige came to be should go with it. Glass never was a banker and never aspired to be. From an

HOOVER VISIT HERE OPPOSED BY OWNPARtV State Republican Leaders Accepted Honor Only After Protest. YIELDED UNDER ORDERS G. 0. P. Chieftains, Horrified by Expense, Manage to Get Cost Cut. BY BEN STERN (Copyright. 1931. bv The Indianapolis Times.) No “frenzied appeal” w-as sent by Indiana Republican leaders to President Herbert C. Hoover to come to Indianapolis to deliver a campaign address, it was learned from authoritative sources today, a week after Hoover's visit. To the contrary, the G. O. P. high command made frantic efforts to forego the honor of the presidential visit, but was informed from “sources close to the White House” that they had to take him Friday, Oct. 28. And they took him. When the Indiana leaders first were informed that the President desired to speak in Indianapolis, they hastily got in touch with Everett Sahders, chairman of the national committee and begged off, it has been learned. Get Their Orders Sanders, it is said, agreed with their desire to get out of the honor and state headquarters breathed a sigh of relief. A short time thereafter, the state leaders again were called and told that they couldn’t get out of the visit. And, to add to their consternation, they were informed that it would cost approximately $40,000 for the honor. That did strike a chill in the hearts of the leaders here, who knew that they needed every dime for election day. Again they strove to beg off. But they were informed that the White House demanded the visit. * Chicago Is Suggested The Indiana leaders suggested that the President go to Chicago to deliver an address “It’s the heart of the middle-west, a bigger city,” and, besides, the Indiana committee would help pay the expenses, and all that. But in vain. The White House insisted on Hoover coming to Indianapolis. Finally, it is learned, the Indiana leaders found that they had to bow their heads to the presidential wishes, but at their own price, which, according to sources, was $7,500 as Indiana's contribution to the expenses of the special train and the national hookup. It cost an additional $5,000 for local expenses, it is said. So Indiana managers believe that they got away with the visit cheaply. The royal command of a visit came as a distinct surprise and the state leaders were caught flatfooted, but it is to their credit that they did so well, putting on so good, a show in the three days given them to prepare. Not Desired by Watson At the same time that the Indiana Republican leaders were dodging the presidential visits, the White House, according to assigned correspondents, announced that Hoover was coming to Indiana in answer to “frenzied appeal” for aid in the campaign. It is an open secret that Senator James E. Watson did not "desire the visit, and he controls the state committee. But he was overruled in this, as in the matter of the organization of the Hoover-Curtis clubs in this state. HIGH RITE OFFICIAL CLAIMED BY DEATH Harry C. Walker. Prominent in Masonry, Dies in East.

Trend Toward President Is Shown, but Poll Favors Roosevelt Victory. By ScrippA-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 3.—Republican leaders, with their ears tuned for hopeful news from the mid-west,’ were cheered today by reports of a substantial swing toward President Hoover in Ohio, where tw'enty-six electoral votes are at stake in Tuesday's election. But the swing has a lot farther to go if the Republicans are to carry this pivotal state. Final tabulation of the “checkup” poll by the six Ohio ScrippsHoward newspapers showed Governor Roosevelt leading by a ratio of less than 3 to 2. first poll, taken in September, showed him the favorite by more than 2 to 1. The final count was: Roosevelt, 31,141; Hoover, 22,953; Norman Thomas, 3.159. This indicates Roosevelt will win by 360,000. The 1928 vote was; Hoover, 1,627,000; Smith, 864,000. The most surprising reversal was in Youngstown, probably the hardest hit of the industrial communities, which accorded a majority for Hoover. The vote was 2,496 to 2,176, as compared to Roosevelt’s lead of 3,245 to 2,025 In September. Roosevelt led in the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo, and Akron districts. The state only once in more than sixty years has deserted the Republican cause in presidential years and has given the nation seven Republican Presidents. Senator Robert J. Bulkley, Democrat, on the basis of a ScrippsHcward poll, appears certain of reelection by a majority of 500,000, while Democrats are claiming as certain the election of thirteen of the twenty-four congressional candidates, with a chance of a clean sweep. The present lineup is thirteen Republicans and nine Democrats, with two additional congressmen-at-large to be elected this year. RESIDENT OF CITY FOR THIRTY YEARS IS DEAD Mrs. Mary A.

later he was appointed secretary of the treasury. In 1920 he came to the senate. a tt m THE thirty-year career in Washington of the senator from Virginia has concerned itself entirely with the matters he discussed Tuesday night. As secretary of the treasury, he was in charge of the Victory Loan, and confronted ,with agitation for abandonment of the gold standard. Last winter when new banking legislation nad to be framed hastily to meet depression emergencies. the administration relied upon Glass. He and Secretary Mills became warm friends until the campaign began with its utterances which Glass, with his rapier tongue, compares to the fairy tales of Hans Anderson and Karl Grimm; with Lydia Pinkham political pills: “Shocking perversions of fact,” and “Mischievous talk.”

HOOVER ROUT PREDICTED IN EMPIRESTATE Roosevelt Expected to Pile Up Imposing Majority in New York City. FARMERS QUIT G. 0. P. Victories Deemed Certain for Senator Wagner and Lehman. BY RAY TUCKER Time* Staff Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 3—Governor Roosevelt will win this state’s fortyseven electoral votes next Tuesday unless all predictions of expert Democratic forecasters lail. The state ticket, consisting of Senator Robert F. Wagner and Herbert Lehman for Governor, is expected to romp through by larger pluralities than the Democratic presidential nominee. Although Tammany Hall's famou block-by-block, pre-election poll has not been completed, it is claimed that Roosevelt will carry New York City by about 600,000, with Wagner’s and Lehman’s pluralities ranging from 650.000 to 700,000, and more. Democrats insist that up-state Republican territory will not give President Hoover sufficient margin to wipe out the Roosevelt lead in the metropolis, basing their predictions on the 1928 outcome. Hoover Loses Support In that year Hoover had the benefit of good times, a stronger Republican organization and the religious and prohibition issues above the Bronx county line. Though A1 Smith was. and still is, the idol of the “Sidewalks of New York,” he suffered from the defection of many elements which had supported him in gubernatorial contests. These included small business men, shopkeepers and the golfplaying, bridge-playing smart set in Westchester. He also had enemies ajnong professional politicians. Hoover came to the city line with a plurality of 557,000, which was sufficient to wipe out Al’s lead in the metropolis by 103,000. But, in view of the forecasts of the Roosevelt vote in the city, Hoover seems doomed. The depression, his prohibition stand, the disappearance of the religious issue, and Republican quarrels are counted on to cut his upstate margin to 300,000 or less, and this will not stand up against a Democratic plurality in the city much less than that now predicted for Roosevelt. Farley Highly Optimistic National Chairman James A. Farley boldly predicts that Roosevelt will get more votes up-state than Hoover. One factor tending to reduce the Republican rural vote is the increased organization and activity among the Democrats. For the first time in New York history, they have a real organization in every county precinct. Roosevelt always has been strong with the farmers, demonstrating this when he got a 175,000 up-state plurality in the 1930 gubernatorial race. Hoover’s Madison Square Garden appearance did not help him, according to all indications. Even conservative bankers and financiers resented his warnings that weeds and grass would grow in the streets if he were not re-elected. One large financial institution circulated a memorandum virtually rebuking and repudiating the President’s pessimistic picture of a republic in ruins. Tammany Won't Switch The suggestion that Tammanv may cut Roosevelt is not taken seriously. In the first place, the organization wants to elect John P. O'Brien, candidate for mayor, to succeed “Jimmie” Walker. Splitting tickets on voting machines Is not yet a science among Wigwam followers, and organized retaliation against Roosevelt might hurt O'Brien. Moreover, even former Sheriff Farley, who was removed by Roosevelt, has sent out letters urging his captains and henchmen to go down the line for the national ticket. Some of ex-Mayor Walker's friends, including Dudley Field Malone and Paul Block, openly are attacking Roosevelt, but their influence is discounted. The former Broadway boy is the “forgotten man” of metropolitan politics. His name rarely is mentioned around political club houses or in lobbies of hotels where the great game of politics is being played. Smith Rips Donovan Colonel William J. Donovan, the G. O. P. nominee for Governor, is making a hard campaign, but apparently in vain. His friends had hoped to capitalize resentment among Smith’s followers, but Al’s savage Newark attack on Donovan and the ridicule poured on the candidate in a subsequent state speech have hurt. Lehman is one of Smith’s closest friends, and he also has almost the solid backing of the Jewish voters. That explains why he may head the Democratic ticket in the balloting. Wagner is expected to have an easy victory over George Z. Medalie. MISSION MEETING ENDS United Brethren Foreign Board Completes Twenty-Eighth Session.
