Roosevelt Demands Liberalized Party In Southern States

Speaks Out Against Senators George and *Smith; Mellett Report Ready at Washington; Pope Asked to Run as Independent.

(Continued from Page One)

which long has existed in the South,

. & system dominated by business

and financial interests which have controlled political machines.

Hits ‘Demagogery’ and ‘Feudalism’

President Roosevelt - touched off the powder at Barnesville. But his

- earlier speech at Athens in accept-

ing an honorary degree from the University of Georgia stated the fundamental, underlying cause in which he is engaged—the attempt

~ to improve, conditions in the South,

to establish a real democracy there which can function toward this obJective,

“At heart,” he said at Athens, “Georgia - shows devotion to the principles of democracy. It has occasional lapses, but it really does not believe either in demagogery (in which he was understood to be referring to Mr. Talmadge) ‘or Feudalism dressed up in democratic clothes.”

Mr. Roosevelt's attack on Senator Smith was no less dramatic than was his attack on Senator George, but it was drama of a different order. His train, fresh from the Georgia political battlefields, had paused at Greenville, S. C. It was midnight, but nevertheless a crowd of 1000 was waiting for his scheduled rear platform appearance.

Governor Jumps Aboard

Governor Johnston, who is opposing Senator Smith for the Democratic Senatorial nomination, jumped aboard the train as it came to a stop. Quickly he was on the back platform, introducing the President to the crowd which had gathered around. Senator Smith, who professes a personal admiration for Mr. Roosevelt and general sympathy for the New Deal, was waiting, too, but he was less quick and, delayed by attaches, got no farther than the drawing room. His speech was very® brief, He spoke first, humorously, of the fact that he had come to South Caroling from Washington by way of the Pacific Coast, the Pacific Ocean and the Panama Canal. Then he gotasdown to the business at hand.

“As you people probably know,”

: he said, “I have made two speeches

today and there was not time or opportunity to prepare a third speech. Some of you may have heard what I said down in Georgia, at Barnesville. Those of you who did not hear me, I hope will read in the newspapers what I said of some of the economic and social problems of the South; of the necessity of meeting those problems by a consolidation of the interests of all Southern states and then by consolidating those interests with the interests of the whole nation.

Team Work Held Need

“That, my friends, cannot be done without legislation. As President, I cannot do it alone. The Congress of the United States must pass the laws. “That is why, in any selection of candidates for members of the Senate or members of the House of Representatives—if you believ in the principles for which we are striving; a ‘wider distribution of national income, better conservation of our natural resources, establishment of a floor under wages and the bringing of a larger buying power to the farmers of the nation —then I hope you will send representatives to the national legislature who will work toward those ends. “We need not just team work but more team work in the national capital—and I believe we are going to get it. “Before I stop—and I believe the train is pulling out in a minute or two—I want to suggest two things to you: first is that a long time ago I promised Governor Johnston that I would come down some time this year to visit the capital pf the State of South Carolina. I have never been there, but I am coming. The other thing is that I don’t believe any family or man can live on 50 cents a day.” As Mr. Roosevelt spoke his last words the train began moving and

. Governor Johnston and Senator

Smith made haste to jump off. This was a device, it was said, to prevent any possibility of Senator

Smith or his supporters staging a demonstration. Mr. Roosevelt’s last sentence had forceful significance in South Caroline, In a Senate speech, Senator Smith once remarked that a family could live on 50 cents a day. The next to last sentence was taken as a promise that Mr. Rooseveli, meant to return before the primary to speak again in behalf of Governor Johnston and against Senator Smith. This crusade also has its political objective. Through the years, the Solid South has been the backbone of the Democratic Party. Its leaders not only have been dominant at national conventions, but they occupy the key posts of the party in Congress. Their influence has constantly been on the conservative side. Even now conservatives, headed by Vice President Garner, are ploting to check the New Deal in the next two years and try to seize control of the 1940 convention.

Considers Report on South

The President is attempting to rally the rank and file in the South to build a back-fire under the leaders. The President returned to Washington today to receive a report on the economic and social .status of the South, prepared by a group of representative Southerners under the direction of Lowell Mellett National Emergency Council director, formerly of Indianapolis, which will be published tomorrow and used as the basis of measures to improve conditions below the Mason and Dixon line. Also the President will consider in the next few days another stage of the “purge”’—his attempt to defeat Senator Tydings of Maryland, who, like Senators George and Smith, has fought vital New Deal

measures Any doubt that he would come out openly and ask for the election of Rep. David J. Lewis, Senator Tydings’ opponent, was dispelled today when it was: learned that a speech has been arranged for Hagerstown, Md., within the next 10 days or two weeks. .

Pope Asked to Run As Independent

Senator Pope (D. Ida.), narrowly defeated for renomination in the Democraiic primary, was assured by friends today that additional support from the New Deal Administration would ‘be sought if he would run in the general election as an independent candidate. Senator Pope, loser by 4000 votes to Rep. D. Worth Clark in last Tuesday’s primary, asked to be given “three or four days” to study the matter. He said he did not want to jeopardize further the prestige of the New Deal in Idaho by suffering a second defeat. The plan to have Senator Pope oppose Rep. Clark, a conservative Democrat, and Don Callahan, Republican, in the general election was presented to the Senator by two Federal officials, one a judge, and other Democratic friends. | They called themselves his “board of strategy.” Under Idaho law Pope could not get his name on the ballot. Voters could write it in, however, if they preferred him over Rep. Clark and Mr. Callahan,

MORE MENTAL WARDS NEEDED

Hospital Why Patients Are Sent to County Jails.

crease the hospital's capacity, but only substitute new for old buildings. Citing further need for a hospital at Gary, Dr. Bahr said he anticipated an influx of 260 mental patients when Marion County closes the Julietta Hospital, only county mental institution in the state, Jan. 1. “We are trying to«shift an equal number of light mental cases to the County Foor Farm, which will be Yeadly for them about that time,” he sai ‘The transfer back and forth, however, would not relieve overcrowding

of women patients, since no woman.

could be transferred to the Poor Farm because of the bad conditions of its buildings, he pointed out. Of the 1873 patients now confined within the hospital, he said, 1060 are women. In the women’s building, he said, there are 188 more beds than normal capacity allows. Beds Now in Corridors Dr. Bahr defined “normal capacity” as a minimum of 60 square feet per patient in a single room and 50 square feet a patient in dormitories. - “We've had to abolish these requirements,” he said. “We've got beds in corridors and in day rooms.” Summarizing the situation in InYisna's mental hospitals, Dr. Bahr sa “The condition of overcrowding does not in any way indicate that insanity is increasing. It is actually decreasing. The average in Indiana is no higher than in other states, and much lower than in California. “As I see it, the number of the insane has increased with our population. But there has been no new mental hospital built for 30 years.”

Inmate’s Death at Richmond Is Probed

RICHMOND, Aug. 12 (U. P.).— State and local authorities today were investigating the death of Christobal Oachoa, Mexican inmate at the Richmond State Hospital for the Insane. Gurley S. Jones, 40, an attendant, was arrested and charged with assaul and battery with intent to kill shortly after Oachoa’s skull was fractured last month. He had been held in jail since and officers said they planned to file manslaughter charges against him. Oachoa was admitted to the institution last April. The fight in which he was killed reportedly resulted from an argument with Jones. The attendant was dismissed from the hospital staff shortly after the beating.

COLLEGE STUDENT MISSING

HOES ‘ONFIT FOR VOTE PROBE

Spencer to Reply to Writ ‘ Filed by Patrick, Bachelder.

Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer charged in the Indiana Supreme Court today that attorneys named special prosecutors Yor the primary investigation by Criminal Court Judge Frank P. Baker were ‘“unfit to serve as public servants” because of their campaign connec-

tions. : ; The charge was contained in a

4 brief prepared for the Court by Mr,

Spencer. It is in answer to a pe-

tition filed recently by Attorneys ae Patrick and Harold K. Bacheld-

: The attorneys, in their “petition, charged that they had not been given the legal number of days to file their reply to the writ and asked that the Court's permanent writ against Judge Baker be set aside and a rehearing granted. The Supreme Court ruled that Judge Baker should not appoint Mr. Patrick and Mr. Bachelder special prosecutors and prohibited the judge from in his special probe of alleged primary election frauds. Mr. Spencer, defending the “writ which he asked. originaily, set out that under the Court's ruling the attorneys had no official status in the proceedings since Judge Baker “actually possessed no ‘power to appoint them.”

Charges Slur on Prosecutor

The Prosecutor’s brief said: “Judge Baker's response demonstrates by the many unwarranted slurs on the Prosecutor, the utter unfitness of these appointees to serve as unbiased public servants,

or of said judge to perform his proper judicial functions in any case growing out of the investigation he assumed to initiate.” Judge Baker’s brief charged that Mr. Spencer’s office should not be permitted to conduct the Primary election probe “since evidence showed that his office was involved in the election.” Mr. Spencer's brief continued: “Any investigation initiated by a judge displaying the personal and official bias shown by Judge Baker who was a willing beneficiary of the Democratic County . Committee by being named alone for his office on its official slate, would not be a fair and impartial investigation. “Mr. Patrick served as campaign manager for a defeated candidate for Mayoralty nomination on the Republican ticket and we deem it proper to point out that alleged irregularities have been charged in the counting of ballots for that office. . , The public might entertain some doubt of the impartial attitude of the campaign manager in serving as special prosecutor in investigating such matters. “It might also be relevant to suggest that the second ‘appointee, Bachelder, may not be frée from bias. He is a member of the firm

of attorneys who recently defended

Joel Baker in Criminal Court wherein the Prosecutor procured that defendant’s conviction and said Joel Baker was both a former appointee as ‘criminal investigator’ and also a close personal friend and ‘political henchman of Judge Baker.”

Chapel Démolished

Two bombs hit the St. Anne Convent. One demolished the chapel and the other destroyed most of the living quarters of the sisters of the order. Three Americans and two Chinese hiding beneath a staircase escaped uninjured. Fifty young women silk factory workers were buried alive shen a dugout near the Wuchang station was hit. The shelter collapsed. An hour later only eight corpses had been recovered despite the efforts of rescue workers to remove the tangled concrete, Wire and wood debris. Each of the girls wore a tag inscribed “Refugee from Yishing.” They had been waiting at the station for a train for three days, delayed by the congestion of rail traffic out of the provisional capital.

Guns Ineffective

The bombs which fell on the western bank of the Yangtze came dangerously close to foreign property, including the French concession, the Italian consulate and every the

Japanese concession, which the Chinese Government took over this week to fortify and defend in case of street fighting with invading Japanese. Chinese antiaircraft units along the Yangtze fired round after round at the raiders, but to no avail. Six of the bombers even dared to dive low jo greater accuracy in their bomb-

Incendiary bombs set fire to a number of gasoline tanks, some of them believed to have been Amer-ican-owned, either by the Standard Oil Co. of New York, the Texas Co., or the Shell Petroleum Co. Chinese officials believed that it heralded the approach of a new Japanes offensive in the upper Yangtze Valley. Reports. to Chinese Army headquarters indicated that the Japanese were massing thousands of troops, many airplanes, tanks, artillery pieces and machine guns in the vicinity of Kiukiang, 135 miles below Hankow, for a “big push,” expected to start Monday.
