RASkOB is ACCUSED
OF L|BEL|NG HOOVER
THson Cites 20 Instances in
Which He Claims President
Was MaIigned.
e.eeIai pispatch 70 The star.


NEW YORK, September 2.-Repre-
sentative John @. Tilson of Connecticut,
Republican leader OF the House and
chairman of the Republican Congress
sional Committee, cited % instances
yesterday in which he accuses the pub
licity bureau of the National Democratic
Committee in Washington of misrep-
senting President Hoover. He had
found these, he. said, after examining
only part of the mimeographed state
ments issued by that bureau.
Representative Tilson's statement was
In reply to a recent suggestion from
John j. Raskob, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, that if the
Republicans felt the Democratic pub
Lefty department had maligned the
President they should cite the in
stances. Mr. Tilson laid all of what
he characterized as a campaign of mis-
statement and misrepresentation at the
door of Mr. Raskob, who, he said, has
subsidized the Democratic publicity bu-
reau, which is headed by Charles
Michaelson, formerly Washington CORE
spondent of the New York World.
MichaeIson Also Accused.
Mr.. Michaelson, therefore, also came
IN for a part of Representative TIL
sons criticism. His statement adds
another chapter to a controversy which
began when an article by Frank Kent,
political writer of the Baltimore Sun,
- the current issue of Scribner's
&hgazine, asserted that Mr. Raskob
had hired Mr. Michaelson ito smear
Hoover and the administration" ito
obscure every Hoover achievement" and
''to put Hoover in bad with the Ameri-
can people" Representative Tilson
pointed out that Mr. Raskob had not
denied those assertions.
Among instances cited by Mr.. Tilson
were assertions that the President was
responsible for lobbyists in Washing
ton, that he looked with favor on COR
ruption in senatorial elections, that he
was connected with the sugar lobby,
that the President was in collision for
unlimited revision of the tariff. that
President Hoover brought about the
stock market crash and that the Presi-
dent created bread lines:
TiIson's Statement.
Mr.. Tilson's statement follows:
"Mr John j. Raskob's personally un-
derwritten propaganda, Mr.. Michael
son, has asked publicly for bill of
particulars of the Misrepresentation
made by his agency. He boldly asserts
that there is no misrepresentation in
the propaganda which he is and has
been issuing, but makes no denial of
Mr.. Frank Kent's statement in the Sep
TENDER issue of Scribner's Magazine
that the goal set for him by Mr.. Ras-
kob was to smear Hoover and the adj
ninistration'; to obscure every Hoover
achievement and to put Hoover in
bad with the American people. That
Is what he (1ead of the bureau) is
there for and all he is there for.

And maybe Baer, green as he is,
didn't make Schaaf step! The
Californian cut loose at terrific

Before the first round was over
he had Schaaf'S left side as red

R. MACKENZIE:

tionS had taken him to the Pa

Despite denialS issued from this

from California persisted that
young Mackenzie had given i'm
pressions of following the trails
of George Won Elm and Bobby
Jones.
The text of Roland Mackenzie's

To. the bigger" teams the sea-

The Mohawks and Celtics play
tomorrow at Griffith's Stadium

will probably be the last Of the
year for these teams although
they might schedule one or two
more contests before putting their

holding the Celtics' powerful line

includes several star Marine
players.

meet.
Teams Have Been Busy
They haven't been able to be-

kept them busy in the Capital
