TESS SAYS HOOVER
IS POPULAR IN OHIO
Senator Declares Constitu-
entS Pleased by Presidents
Record to Date.

The Hoover administration and Its
accomplishments to date are. heartily
approved in Ohio, according to Senator
Simeon D. Tess, who returned to Wash
ington today from his home in that
State.
President Hoover is more popular to-
day than ever among the people OF
Ohio" said Senator Fess. "They ap-
prove of his farm relief legislation and
particularly of the manner in which he
selected the members of tn, Federal
Farm Board, obtaining the services of
outstanding men familiar with the
problems which must be met"
Senator Tess expressed the opinion
that any attempt to attach to the tariff
bill the so-called debenture plan forr
aiding the farmers would fail. The
Government, he said, through the new
farm act, has undertaken to help the
farmer solve the marketing problem,
which is the real problem Of the farmer
today. The adoption of the debenture
plan. which he sid would be in effect
a direct contribution from the Federal
Treasury to the farmer, was no more
or less than a dole. If such a plan
were adopted for one class, 1t might
easily be demanded and obtained by an
other in the future. Senator Fess said
that the British today are having their
troubles with the dole which goes to
unemployed labor.
He argued that if the farmer were
given a dole now in the shape OF the
debenture plan, there would be nothing
to prevent labor from obtaining dole
from the Treasury in the future, with
its attendant ills.
Senator Tess called upon PRESIDENT
Hoover at the White House to discuss
rome matters of appointments to public
Office. He will return to Ohio tomor-
row.

BOXER SEEKS TO VOID
MANAGER CONTRACT
Marty Gallagher Asks for Injunc'

The dispute between Marty Gal
lagher. Washington heavyweight boxer,
and his manager, John S. Bllck, ouSl-
ness man of this city, which recently
was aired before the Maryland state
Athletic Commission, has cropped out
anew with the filing of an action IN the
District Supreme Court by Gallagher
in which he seeks to have Blick en-
Joined from interfering with the boxers
ring activities and to have the contract
existing between them declared null
and void.
In his complaint. filed through At
torneys w. Gwynn Gardiner and James
Y. O'Byrne, Gallagher also demands an
accounting from Blick of the moneys
received and disbursed by the manager
from the period beginning June 80,
1927, when the contract was signed,
until October %, 1928, when Gallagher
became Of legal age, and asks that ne
be awarded judgment for such sums as
may be found due.
In support of his contention that
Blick voided the contract by failure to
meet its provisions Gallagher alleges
that while appearing in bouts under
Blick's direction the manager failed to
furnish proper trainers, sparring part
ners or adequate means of transpor-
tation to the scenes of various exhl-
billions. and that he has been lrrepar-
ably injured by Blick's action in seeking
to prevent him from appearing in any
ring in the States of Maryland, New
York and Pennsylvania.
