sertatiyes Of the budget to come

proposal for an emergency fund
Of 100000, 900 to $l50;O0O, 900.
Although there Is little opposi.
tion to huge Federal grants to
afd business, President Hoover's
request for blanket authority to
distribute the fund has been
assaiIed.

Senate and House for tlnemploy-
ment relief were:
General expansion Of Federal
building, highway and rivers and

they were doing to grab sticks tools and
spears and making the entire district echo

toward the river.
When the old chief discovered himself de-
serted by the excited multitude, he calmed
down somewhat and explained that this was
the same crocodile that had been bothering the
village for over a year. 1t was an immense
thing, he said. And he pointed out the giant
trunk of a large mango tree to indicate just
how big it was.
It has a CORY history Several women who
had gone down to the river for water had been
ruthIessly carried OF by the reptile. The year

Secretary Asks United Sup
port of President in
Time of Stress.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Mellon last night emerged
from his customary political silence to
ask the voters to elect, next Tuesday,
Republican Congress.
"It is not time for divided authority"
the Treasury chief told a Nation wide
radio audience. 1T is rather a time
for strong and united action and, in
asking support for the President and
the administration, do so in the belief
that in this way we shall attain most
quickly that full measure Of economic
recovery which is inevitable in Nation
so self-reliant and so justifiably con-
fident of the future"
Efforts Of Administration.
The Secretary said the administration
was doing all possible to hasten re-
covery from the business depression and
alleviate suffering from unemployment,
but he cautioned his listeners:
1T cannot work miracles. The most
that any administration can do Is to
keep the boat steady and headed in the
right direction until the storm blows
over; and that the President has shown
he is well able to do"
Mellon was equally conservative in
discussing the economic future, assert
ing no one could predict how long it
would take to recover from the de-
preston.
But of one thing We can be GER
tain" he said. with our great inter-
nal organization. our vast resources, our
unparalleled domestic buying power and
the indomitable spirit of our people, we
shall be among the first of all the ma
tons to recover and resume the onward
march of progress"
Analysing the depression, both In
this country and abroad, the Secretary
said it was not caused by speculation
in stocks, though that was factor,
of course, in the situation"
Overproduction World Wide.
It's underlying causes, he said, were
traceable primarily to worldwide over
production. especially of raw materials
which climaxed 10-year effort to
catch up with the shortages created by
the four years of World War.
Mellon was strong in his praise of
President Hoover.
President Hoover has shown himself
a man capable of dealing with great
emergencies" he said. II am confident
that he will lead the country out of
its present difficulties: but If he is to
do so with a minimum of friction and
loss of time, his hands should not be
tied by a Congress controlled by his
political opponents"

Simeon D. Fess. chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, speaking
at a Republican rally here last night,
expressed confidence in the Nations

GRAHAM INITIATES
FIGHT ON P|NCHOT
Republican Resigns Position
to Support Hemphill in
Pennsylvania.
BY the Associated Press.
pHII,AnE1 ,PHIA

PHILADELPHIA, October 3d.
Representative George S. Graham of
Philadelphia, has resigned as Pennsyl-
vanias member of the Republican
Congressional Committee and announced
that he will support John Hemphill
Democratic-Liberal candidate for Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Graham. who is chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, il formal
statement, said he regarded Clifford
Pinchot, Republican gubernatorial
nominee, as a menace to the return
of prosperity" and added that his cleo
ton would increase the depression and
suffering in business
The Representative asserted that
Pinchot was not Republican,; that he
was against the program Of President
Hoover and that he associates with
the Presidents enemies in the Senate"
Pinchot's goal. Graham declared, "is
to wreck the Republican party on the
power issue raised by Senator Norris
platform or with some party nominee
for President"
President Hoover" Grahams state
ment added. accepting Mr.. Pinchot's
own confession that he is progressive
straight and proposes to act with other
progressives' to destroy the policies OF
the Republican party, has not offered
him any support. while giving it freely
to New York, New Jersey and other
States"
Mr.. Pinchot replied yesterday to a
statement by directors of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad denying charges alleged
to have been made by him during the
present political campaign.
Mr.. Pinchot declared his attacks were
not directed against the railroad COM
pany, but against Gen. w. w. Atterbury,
its president.
Asserting that Gen. Atterbury had
"misused the power of his office in a
disgraceful political fashion" Pinchot
characterized the statement of the
Pennsylvania directors as "a series of
carefully worded evasions," and said
"some of the assertions are so menda-
cious" that he doubted whether the
directors knew they were to be made.
The railroads statement. Pinchot
said, was "but sample of the lengths
to which he, Atterbury, has gone In
his efforts to help Hemphill."

test vote, it is very, very silent at the
present time.
The charge against Gov. Roosevelt
is that he has not only failed to take
the lead>in bringing about complete in
vestigation of the alleged sale of judicial
Offices, but that he has acted to post
pone or to prevent any real investiga-
ton. His statement the other night in
New York City that he believed the
people of New York City could take
care of their own affairs has not been
particularly we'll received, certainly by
the. press of the city. The New York
Evening World, editorially, took wal
lop at the Governor, saying:
If the Governor is so convinced that
that the seven million people of New
York City can handle their own affairs,
why did he take the Ewald case out
of the hands of the New York County
district attorney and the regular coun-
ty grand jury and give it to the attor-
ney general and a special grand jury?
I'VE are loath to believe this Is Gov.
Roosevelt's last word on the corruption
issue in this city. We cannot even yet
admit that Tammany has him tied,
muzzled and blindfolded by the threat
that only i'll that ignominious state can
he be sure of its votes.
IF so it prove, then the saddest
thing in American public life today is
the thing politics has done to Franklin
D. Roosevelt"
That is merely a sample of the COM
ment made upon Gov. Roosevelts at
titude by New York newspapers. But
Notwithstanding this unfavorable COM
ment. the Democratic leaders continue
to assert that they will carry New York
City by half a million votes for Roose-
welt, and some of the Republicans give
it to him by 325, 900 votes Conservative
observers estimate that Roosevelt will
carry the State by 100000 votes against
Tuttle, and some of the observers place
the Governors lead as high as $50, 600.

SMITH ASKS NATION
TO GO DEMOCRATIC
Makes Triple Charges of Re-
publican Failure in Bust
ness Crisis.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 3o.--Former
Gov. Alfred e. Smith last night urged
the election of a Democratic Congress
and told a Nationwide radio audience
he had three charges to make against
the Republicans. He listed them as
follows:
/. They made campaign pledges Of
continuing prosperity which they could
not redeem.
2. They refused to face tn. business
3. They failed to take necessary
steps to relieve the situation.
Applying these, Mr.. Smith said:
1T is a matter of history that the
President himself as short a time ago
as March 8 made the definite state
ment that the situation would clear in
60 days. He was assisted by his cab
met officers in his refusal to face the
facts. AS late as June, 1880, the Sec
rotary of Agriculture made the state
ment that the unemployment was sea-
sonal and there was relatively no dis
tress. And further than that, the Sec
rotary of Labor gave out figures with
respect to unemployment which were
shown to be false by the statistics
gathered by the Department Of Labor
in the State of New York"
The former Governor said he did
not take 1.-The position of placing upon
the Republican party the blame for
the business depression and consequent
unemployment, but we do seriously in
dict them for misleading the people
into the belief that a continuance OF
the Republican party in power meant
continued prosperity"
What has happened to the Repub-
lican party in this instance" he con-
tinued, SIS nothing more or less than
false issues are injected into cam
the result that must be expected when
paign. Lack of sincerity or even honesty
behind false campaign pledge not
only wrecks itself but tends to bring
about the destruction Of those who is
sue it."

BYRNS SEES POLITICS
MOTIVE FOR RELIEF
Democratic Leader Says Time Of
Action on Eve of Election
Arouses Suspicion.

Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee, charged that the
administration, in postponing its ef-
forts to relieve unemployment until
the very eve of the congressional cleo
tons, arouses the suspicion that its
interest Is as much political as 1t is
humane"
In statement through the Demo-
cratic National Committee Byrns add
ed that TT is a matter Of general
qualification that the Federal admin
istration has at last become aroused
to the necessity Of graphing with the
grave unemployment problem"
while we rejoice" he said, "that
the administration is at last to do
what 1t can at this late day to ease
the distress from which so many mil
lions are suffering, we cannot forget
nor fail to hold Mr.. Hoover and his
advisers responsible for their unpar-
donable delay in doing anything at
ALL
Byrns added that, although the ad-
m.nistration had from last November,
when the depression became serious,
until July /, when appropriations for
the new fiscal year became available,
to plan for an enlarged Federal pro-
gram Of public works, it actually ap-
propriated $25,922, 562 less for public
works this year than 1t did last"
