demned Japan for warring on civilian populations. It was the first time that such a stand had been taken toward a great power since the League condemned Italy as an aggressor against Ethiopia two years ago. The resolution was one which had been pased yesterday by the League's Advisory Committee on Chinese-Japanese relations, and its language was strong: “The Advisory Committee, taking urgent consideration of the question of air bombardment of open towns in China by Japanese aircraft, expresses profound distress at loss of life caused to innocent civilians, including a great number of women and children, as the result of sucH bombardment. It declares there is no excuse for such acts, which have aroused horror and throughout the world, and it solemnly condemns them.” As the resolution was approved, it was said in reliable\quarters that the United States had intimated that it does not favor a conference on nations interested in the Far East on the Chinese-Japanese war. In explanation, it was said that the United States Government felt

Hull, in Effect, Backs Up League

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (U. P.). —Secretary of State Hull today in effect indorsed the League of Nations resolution condemning Japanese bombing in China by calling attention to the American Government’s similar protest against aerial attacks on undefended civilian areas. Secretary Hull did not directly indorse the League protest. However, he pointed out that he had been informed of the action of the League assembly and in that connection called attention to the American protest to Japan, couched in language similar to that employed by the League.

Hitler and Duce

Offer Peace to Europe BERLIN, -Sept. 28 (U. P.).— Premier Mussolini and Fuehrer Hitler assured a vast, cheering throng

at the Olympic grounds tonight that Germany and Italy have only peace to offer Western Europe. “The Rome-Berlin axis is not directed against any third power,” Premier Mussolini declared. “Behind this visit,” he asserted,

“there are no secret intentions and

nothing will be framed here that would increase Europe's troubles.” Fuehrer Hitler, who preceded Premier Mussolini in the speaking, voiced a “confession of faith” between the fwo dictatorial powers.

BACK VANNUYS, HE URGES PARTY

Other G. 0. P. Nominees Would Be Aided in Election, He Says.

Indiana Republican leaders today were discussing a suggestion made here last night by Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y.), who advised them to nominate Senator VanNuys, Hoosier Democrat, on the state Re-

publican ticket and return him to the Senate next year.

In hotel room caucuses at a recepfion in the Columbia Club yesterday, and at a watermelon supper last night of the Irvington Republican Club, party leaders heard Mr. Fish give his advice before he left by train for New York. “L don’t like to discuss state politics, but I believe you in Indiana should nominate Senator VanNuys on the Republican ticket and thereby return a number of Republicans to Congress. Other Senators who opposed the President's Courtpacking plan could run on independent tickets with indorsement. of the Republican Party.” , Renomination of Senator VanNuys on the Democratic ticket is being opposed by Governor Townsend and the State House organization as result of the Senator's opposition to the President's Supreme Court proposal. “Twenty or 30 good healthy funerals in our party and we'd come back overnight” Mr. Fish continued. “We ought to get rid of John D. M. Hamilton, party chairman. He carried two states in the last election and came out against social security when 26,000,000 people were interested in it. : “Millions of former Republicans are only waiting an opportunity to come back to the party when they understand it represents their rights and interests. And they will come if we don’t permit a stranglehold by some 20 or 30 reactionaries in the party,” the Congressman said.

Issue Held Clear

“The President revived the Court plan in his talk out West and it is the duty of the Republican Parly to accept the challenge and make the plan an issue.” He said the administration had attempted to ‘“declass and outlaw” the Negroes. He said Mayor La Guardia is only an even-money bet to win the New York mayoralty race against Jeremiah Mahoney. “Remember if 50,000 votes were written in for La Guardia on the Democratic ticket, there were 50,000 Republicans who voted for Senator Copeland.” Congressman Fish charged that the President was in conspiracy with Senator Black to place him in the robes of a Supreme Court jurist. “The appointment of Senator Black, with his white-robed affiliations, to the black robe of a Justice of the Supreme Court, is an afIront to one-third of our people. The responsibility rests squarely with President Roosevelt. “I believe the President knew all about it. I believe Black told him so. I don’t believe there is anything the President can or will do about it.”

‘G. O. P. Need Not Compromise’

Charging New Deal government as “government confusion, class hatred and reprisal,” he said the Republican Party’s need was not “to compromise with class hatred, the radicals and collectivism.” “We must let the people know that we divorce ourselves from reactionaries and set up. party standards

This can be done without changing our party’s name,” he declared. “What we need most in the United States is inflation of confidence, common sense, sound principles of government, employment of American labor, and not inflation of class hatred, regimentation, taxes, debts and focialism.” He paid a tribute to Rep.

address nor in any previous any direct reference to the Supreme Court Bill or to charges that Associate

Justice Hugo L. Black was a mem- | Ther of the Ku-Klux Klan.

“In other words,” Mr. Roosevelt said here, continuing his explanation of national planning, “the responsibility of the Federal Government for the welfare of its citizens will not come from the top in the form of unplanned, hit-or-miss appropriations of money, but will progress to the national capital from the ground up—from the communities and counties and states which lie within each of the logical geographical areas.

Predicts Balanced Budget

“Another great advantage will be served by this process of planning from the bottom up. Under our laws, the President submits to the Congress an annual budget—a budget which, by the way, we expect to have definitely balanced by the next fiscal year. “In this budget we know how

much can properly be expended for |)

the development of our natural resources, the protection of our soil, the construction of our highways and buildings, the maintenance of our harbors and channels and all other elements which fall under the general heading of public works. “By regional planning, it will be vastly easier for the Executive branch and the Congress to determine how the appropriations for following year shall be fitted most fairly and equitably into the. total amount which our national pocketbook allows us safely to spend.” Continuing to emphasize his effort to “look into the future,” Mr. Roosevelt forsaw the time when science would permit transmission of electrical energy over distances greatly in excess of the 250 miles or so now economically practicable and he foresaw the time when “every community in this great area will be wholly electrified.”

Weakness in Cities

“Today,” he said, “many people

are beginning to realize that there is inherent weakness in cities which become too large and inherent strength in a wider - geographical distribution of population. “An overlarge city inevitably meets problems caused by oversize. Real estate values and rents become too

high; the time consumed in going]

from one’s home to one’s work and back again becomes excessive; congestion of streets and other transportation problems arise; truck gardens disappear because the back yard is too small; the cost of living of the average family rises far too high.” He named Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane and said none would suggest they should stop growing, but still emphasized that they could grow unhealthily at the expense of smaller communities. “Their healthiest growth actually depends,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “on a simultaneous health growth of every smaller community within a radius of hundreds of miles.”

Idaho Gives Thanks, Asks More U. S. Aid

(Mrs. Roosevelt, Page 13; Editorial and Merry-Go-Round, Page 14)

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer ABOARD PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S TRAIN, Sept. 28.—Idaho looked up from her potatoes, wheat, apples and onions to thank President Roosevelt for past favors, to shout allegiance from thousands and thousands of throats, and to ask for more of the same. The venerable Senator Borah, who often has raised his voice against New Deal policies, joined the merry celebration. Republican though he is, the Senator came home a few days ago and found by his own confession, that the folks paid little attention to the Supreme Court battle which raged so bitterly in Washington, or even to his own\thunderings against Mr. Roosevelt's “packing” bill. Like other people in the Far West, Idahoans are concerned about more material things. :

And he learned that the President

is still a popular idol in Idaho. So, soon after the special train rolled to a halt at Boise, the Senator was seen ambling across the plaza. . . ; Initiative Not His

The initiative was not his. He was invited by Mr. Roosevelt—the only Republican thus honored on a trip in which some Democrats have been ignored. There was method in the meeting. These friendly enemies understood each other perfectly. Mr. Borah is the bigest thing politically in Idaho. He is an institution. Whether he was for the Court Bill or against is maters little to his constituents. Many of them could not tell you which way he stood.

The President's New Deal liberal

movement needs Mr. Borah when it can get him. And not the least of Mr. Roosevelt's objectives on this ‘western trip is to seal alliances for a reorganization of his party. Mr. Borah may be helpful in a battle going on within the Democratic forces in Idaho, a battle drawn along liberal and conservative lines. On his part, it is to Senaior Borah’s advantage to be on good terms with the Administration, for the good things which Idaho has

He was before the court on an assault and battery charge filed by the maid, Marie Wise, 136 W. 19th St. She claimed he hit her. He claimed that when he refused to get up out of bed she hit him with a carpet sweeper and then after he had put her out of the house she came back and hit him with wet rags. The maid didn’t heed Judge Karabell’s warnings not to interupt during the defendant’s testimony so the judge interrupted to say: “Case dismissed.”

The Bee-News published morning, evening and Sunday editions. Its news service, reports and many of its features will appear in the World-Herald, it announced.

Board members indicated they would be unable to cut local County budgets to the statutory limits. The Board instead will be forced to recommend budget increases over the current year to the State Tax Board, it was said. A total of $7500 in cuts were made in the police budget in addition to salary cuts. The public health fund, which includes the City Hospital, was slashed $10,590. The garbage collection department of the sanitation fund was cut $6000, while $4000 was taken from the salary schedules-of the Nurses Training Home. Salary Allowance Cut Fire and Police Department salary budgets provided statutory salary increases for employees in the lower brackets in both departments. The statutory minimum was not touched as the ‘items had been slightly in excess of those limits as presented. The average cut amounted to about 2 per cent. Those in both departments who already received salary increases this year will still receive a 10 per eent restoral under the approved budget. The minimum salary law would raise police pay 9.67 per cent and fire pay, 10.83 per cent. For this reason the flat 10 per cent increase was recommended for those who received increases this year, Board members said.

Officers to Get More

The new schedule still provides a 15 per cent increase in pay for rank-

July 15 to Sept. 26, 1936, 757 persons were injured in local traffic accidents. The number this year was reduced to 538, Lieut. McCarthy said. The number of daily arrests for traffic violations continued to average more than 50. . “There will be no let-up in the enforcement. program,” Lieut. McCarthy said. “With the continued co-operation of public and courts, we will reduce the city’s toll even more.”

Speeders Fined $197 for Traffic Indiscretions

7 Speeders bore the brunt of heavy penalties today in Municipal Court as 39 persons were convicted of traffic law violations by Judge Charles J. Karabell. Ten speeders were assessed fines

and costs of $197 on the basis of a

dollar for every mile above speed

limit. That was an average of more

than $19. The total fines and costs for all 39 defendants was $433, an average of slightly more than $11.
