enormous salary" Robinson said, "Raskob placed Charles Michaeison. a seasoned newspaperman. From that time until the present there have been contantly issued from this mill the most unfair and vicious at tacks on the president of the United States that have ever been known in this country.
 Facts and decency have been thrown to the winds and misrepre- sentations by innuendo and insinua- tions have been ground out of the mill in veritable torrents.
 Gloats Over Depression
 Instead of cooperating with the administration in overcoming tho depression that inevitably followed the crash in the stock market last October. this propaganda machine has gloated over the misfortunes Of the people and sought to ride into political power as a result thereof"
 Robinson charged that Raskob more than any other man in the world" was responsible for the mar ket collapse. Raskob, he said, 'in- duced thousands Of our people to plunge into the sea of speculation"

TiISOn Makes Charge

Washington, Sept. 12 UP)-A charge that the democratic national committee is the personally under written organization" of Chairman John J. Raskob was made today as part of the statement-m aking battle between republican and democratic publicity forces here.
 Republican Floor Leader Tilson of the house made the charge. citing sworn reports filed with the clerk of the house by James w. Gerard, treasurer of the democratic commit tee. These reports showed. Tilson said, that Raskob advanced S40,00O to the committee during the three months beginning June and that other contributions totalled only S15H. Gerard's report, Tilson added. showed Raskob's loans to the committee amounted to S190,00O up to August 31.
 Meanwhile, the democratic pub licity organization countered with a statement by Senator Fletcher, dem. Florida, ridiculing republican claims Of progress in Florida. Fletcher de- clared that in the latest registration throughout the state Ihe republican votes do not exceed 70 per cent of the total.
 Another statement issued through the republican committee today pointed to the growth of American
 I: ' |, inaugurated by the merchant marine act of 1928 for the increase. The statement was issued by H. c. Smith and H. C. Hunter of the Ma tional Council of American Ship builders after a conference with Ex- ccutive Director Lucas of the re- publican national committee.

MORE FAILURES IN
 FIRST SIX MONTHS.
Exceed Whole Of 1929, Board
 DiSClOSeS

Washington, Sept. F (UP)-More commercial failures were reported to the federal reserve board during the first six months of this yesr than during all of 1929, reports dis closed today.
 There were 18TH failures in the first six months of 1880 as against 1I.972 for all of last year. Total liabilities wcreu a $337,0S0,000 as against S2&g.13O,000 for the respec, tive periods.
 Officials decline to undertake ex- pllnaticns Of tho figures, though tn" chief factor appeared to be the gen. eral business situation. An addi- tional element is thought to be the laxity of bankruptcy laws. Presi5 dent Hoover recently directed the justice department to investigate al leged widespread abuses under bankruptcy proceedings. William J. Donovan, former assistant attorney general, is directing the inquiry.
 While business failures have in creased this year, these failures, IS is customary, are limited chiefly to smaller and weaker houses. Liabili- ties of bankrupt firms this year have averaged about s24000 each. Offi- cials point out that many unstable houses are being eliminated either by failure or by consolidation with stronger institutions so that the sur viving are left in stronger position.
 As a result, when business revives. 1t will be on a sounder basis, with out the existence of many firms op- erating on slender margins. fiscal eX- pcrts believe,
 Similar conditions prevail in other countries affected by worldwide de pression.

Washington. Sept. 12 Pl-A vest in a submarine is being.. developed by the navy to supply an aerial eye" for undersea fighters.
 It will have folding wings and be slowed in a watertight compart- ment flush with the submarine deck.
 The plane will be a scout. a fast ship carrying only pilot and to be used for extending the range of vision Of the undersea boats for col lectng information. Though no submarine has been designated for the experiments, it is planned to start tests with the tiny fior as soon as it is completed.
 Modern types of under5ca craft available for the construction of q special carrying compartment in clude the VI, and 3, of 1900 tons each and the N-4, 5 and 6, of 2,660 tons each. Their width varies from 27 1-2 to 33 1-9 feet
 In the new development which has been undertaken to place at least one airplane on every ship in the battle line the navy will draw on experiences of seven years ago when submarine plane was built and tested
 A large cylinder was built on the deck of the S-1, a smaller subma rine than later types, for carrying the dismantled plane which was as sembled for each flight. The scheme was abandoned as unsatisfactory.

Explorer Finds Riches

Canberra, Sept 12 P,-Icy seas right at the back door of Australia where myriads of seals and whales abound, where there are probably cod banks comparable to those of Newfoundland, where penguin eggs and oil can be turned into handsome profits, were discoveries of Sir Doug las Mawson's investigation of com- possibilities of the Antarctic.
 His ship, the famous old D1scov- cry, visited areas where whalers had never been. but which. the Aus tralian explorer predicts, will prove fabulously rich hunting ground.
 Australian companies already are being formed to exploit the new found wealth.

agement, which position he has held
more than faithfully for 20 years.
Mr.. Schloss' career, prior to taking
over the reins at Glen Echo, has been
most varied. He has been an usher at
the Bush Theater, San Francisco; he
has been q press representative and at
one time was associated with an Uncle
Tom" show, starring Peter Jackson, the
pugilist. He was business manager for
John L. Sullivan when the latter made
his farewell tour, and followed this up
by migrating to Cape Town, South
Africa, TO start his outdoor career.
Upon his return from there he assisted
in the building of Dreamland, Coney
Island, after which in 1911 he came to
Washington to start his immensely sue
cessful Glen Echo.
Mr.. Schloss Is recognized as one of
the leading amusement park operators
of the country and Is second vice presi-
dent of the National Association of
Amusement Parks. In addition to this,
he has interests in various other parks,
such as coasters, old mills and circle
swings, but devotes all of his time really
to the operation Of Glen Echo, which
he considers one Of the finest parks
In the country.
