Spending Ea Over, Hel Says, Declaring President Gambled 20 Billion.

TE —— Times Special ROCHESTER, Ind, Aug. 16. .— The “spend-lend” bill was defeated because “people do not want any more foolish wagers,” Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.) | ‘declared here] last night. |

Speaking at the Republican. Edi-

and Third Districts at the Colonial Hotel, Lake Manitou, Rep. Halleck! said: “President Roosevelt now comPlains that the last Congress gambled with the destiny of the coun-

try. He doesn’t like it because the Congress listened to the people instead of the New Deal bureaucrats in Washington and refused to allow him to mix up in the quarrels of Europe and Asia and refused to enact the three billion dollar pump- || priming bill, masquerading as a lending bill, “The President should he an aythority on that sort| of gambling. He has staked over 20 billion dollars we did not have on the ridiculous theory that we could spend ourselves back to rprosperity. Of course we lost. And our people who will have to pay the bill do not want any more of such foolish wagers. “When the Republicans pick their candidate, he will be the next President of the United States.

Young : Dorocrals Used State Cars, Bobbitt Says

Mrs. VanArsdale and family. . . .

‘State Republican Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt. charged last night that state-owned automobiles were used to transport Indiana Democrats to

week. | Speaking at a G. O. P. booster meet at Rochester, the State Chairman said the “use of State-owned| autos for this purpose is the second example ot official nullification of the newly-enacted Hatch law, de-|| signed to prevent Government em-

cal activity.” He said the first violation was the decision to permit non civil service employees to participate in political activity although refusing the same privilege to civél service workers. Referring to Governor M. Clif-| ford Townsend’s order requiring all State employees attending the Pittsburgh meeting to do so at their own expense, Mr. Bobbitt said: “Will Governor Townsend follow up the spirit of his order and compel those State employees who used |

State-owned autos to make the trip|L

to Pittsburgh to reimburse the State for the use of the cars and pay the] State for State gasoline coupon books?”

Calendar Firm

Good Guesser

OS ANGELES, Aug. 16 (U. P.). —A New York calendar company had President Roosevelt to thank today for making 100,000 of its calendars not only unique in their perfection but collector items. i The company was embarrassed that the calendars should have its name embossed both onthe printed pad and metal base—until Mr.

Roosevelt this week changed the

date of Thanksgiving. Sometime ago a clerk in the: county offices noticed the calendar on his desk designated Nov. 23 as Thanksgiving Day. It should have been Nov. 30. The manu-. facturer wrote an apology. : The printers, the apology said, had made the same mistake on 100, 000 calendars. Then Mr. Roosevelt teat his

|| proclamation setting Thanksgiving | back from Nov. 30 to Nov, 23. And |the 100,000 - miscorrectly printed -“trealendars became the onlyones in the country.

ing of her sister, a mental patient, in the visiting room at Allentown State Hospital. Miss Margaret L. Cowan of Quakertown, a former nurse in the homes of Charles M. Schwab, steel magnate, and George Westinghouse, inventor of- the air brake, was charged with the fatal shooting of her sister, Mrs. Louella Sager, 66, of Spinnerstown, Bucks County. “I feel happier now than I have all my life because I have put my sister out of her misery,” police quoted her as saying after she walked from the visiting room clutching a 32-caliber revolver. Two nurses watched through a glass partition as Miss Cowan talked quietly with her sister, a patient for two years. Suddenly Miss Cowan took a gun from her handbag, they

Citizens Committee Urges Direct Action to Be Taken On Proposal.

Safety Board members today indicated they favor the proposal to set 20 and 30-mile-an-hour speed limits in the city. . Such a plan has been considered

for some time and direct action was suggested at a meeting of the Board yesterday when the Citizens Safety Gontmivles proposed the two speed ts . - The 20-mile limit would be in effect in the area bounded by 16th St. on the north, McCarty St. on the south, Noble St. and College Ave. on the east and Blake St., White

Thirty miles an hour would be the maximum speed in the rest of the city. Police Chief Michael Morrissey has iidicated his approval of the plan and has assured complete co-opera-tion of his department. The Citizens Committee adopted the plan after conferring with Accident Prevention officials at Police headquarters. Members of the committee are Capt. Lewis Johnson, accident prevention head; Ernest H. Pflumm, Robert M. Bowes, William Gagen and George Poske. Definite steps in forming an ordinahce to carry out the proposal will be taken next Tuesday, accord-

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 18 (U. P.) .—Four pil producing states sacrificed $1,500,000 in taxes today in a strike against the refining industry, presaging a nation-wide rise in gasoline prices. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico clamped a 15-day shutdown on oil fields from which flow two million barrels daily, or 58 per cent of the total production. They demanded a restoration of the general 20-cents-a-barrel cut in crude oil prices put into effect by refiners last week in most of the 18 oil states. They had the support of "Louisiana, Michigan, Colorado and Arkansas, some of
