ADAMS PRESENTS
SPLENDID TALK
AT ROTARY CLUB

Declaring that luck plays no part
in the general scheme of existence
and that all men are lazy only
some more so than others, Harry v.
Adams, of the advertising depart
ment of the Security-First National
bank of Los Angeles gave an in
teresting address at the weekly
meeting OF the Ell Centre Rotary
club yesterday.
Physical laziness is the cause of
all failures, mental laziness is the
cause Of all foolishness and moral
laziness is the cause of all vice and
crime" he asserted.
Luck he characterized as the
magic word of fools, idlers and in
competents. Those who fail seek
to place the responsibility for fail
ure upon others, when they alone
are to blame.
Everyone can run step further,
lift pound more, study another
minute and that the step. pound
and minute are the milestones which
spell the difference between success
and failure.
Otto Bradshaw announced the OBJ
seryance of Public Schools Week, to
be held later in the month and
stated visitors to the Ell Centre ele-
mentary schools any time after
next Monday will be credited to the
visits during school week.

BORDER CHAMBER
ASKS RUBI0 TO
HALT GAMBLING

The Press has received 2 copy of
a telegram sent by the Mexicali Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce to
President Ortiz-Rubio of Mexico,
again asking him to stop gambling
in Mexicali As the telegram re-
lates, this is the second request that
has been made to President Rubio.
Following is the text of the tele-
gram:
"On the 22nd ult., we sent you the
following telegram: This National
Chamber of Commerce at its mass
meeting of the goth inst, resolved
to respectfully address to you this
message, stating that associations
of chambers of commerce and civic
bodies of the Imperial Valley in
California, have started move
ment to close the international line
at o'clock due to the activities Of
gambling on this side of the line,
and if said closing hour is put into
effect, as has been done in Tijuana
and Algodones. the city of Mexicali
and the Mexicali valley will be Sc
riously damaged in its commercial
and agricultural activities as well
as the community as a whole. Past
experiences have taught us that
once establishing this line closing
regulation, every official and pri-
vate effort would be of no avail,
and for these reasons at the said
meeting is was also resolved to re-
spectfully request you, in view of
the fact that the movement for the
closing of the line is being actively
carried on, and we deem it urgent,
on account of the great evil resulting
from this action, to insist on the
matter of the closing of every
gambling place, respectfully calling
your attention to the allegations
transmitted through the confedera-
ton of chambers of commerce, pre-
vious to the above transcribed tele-
gram.
Respectfully,
"MEXICALI NATIONAL

ton. President Hoover believed that direct quotatino offered the most satisfactory solution of the White House press problem. He has tried it. It has failed. No president is able to talk for quo- tation twice weekly and guarantee front-page headlines. The only method whereby president, meet ing three score reporters around a desk, may be secure against mis- quotation on the one hand, and the correspondents insured against re- pudiation, on the other, is by the mimeographed statement-the de- spised hand-out. Otherwise, 99 out of hundred would try to be square, but a rat would scoop the others. Great would be his fame. The old free-and-easy condolences between MT Hoover and the press were lost. The experiment degen- erated into a stiff, rather embar- rassed, bi-weekly series of meet ings out of which neither the pres ident nor the newspapermen have derived any particular happiness.
 Official Statements Devious
 'W a h ington correspondents who go to the White House press conferences assert they are misled. They contend that on several notable occasions they have been tipped to believe and write one thing while subsequent announce ments from stated official sources have been to the contrary. They assert they are expected to be mere messenger boys conveying White House statements to tele- graph offices without the inalien- able right to the Fourth Estate to scrutinize or even subject to cas- ual analysis. Others assert there is a brand of deviousness Tn Hoover statements. They contend that so much time is expended writing antiquities into White House statements that it is impos- sible to sit down and knock out a snappy lead when the man in the street m yaread, grasp and run.
 "Mr Hoover's annoyance over

leaks into news s-columns of infor- nation he did not wish to reach them or did not think was quite ready for release, is no new devel- opment. He has been given ro fretting about such things. He squanders a magnificent talent in pettifoggery.
 Nearly every worthwhile newspaper man who accompanied the president on his midwestern trip, in June, interpreted his In- dianapolis speech, especially in the backwoods setting accorded it, as his opening bid for renomination and reelection. The president was so annoyed by that reaction that he went so far as to demand a correction by one of the major press associations whose Washing ton correspondent had stated that MT Hoover had written the g.o.p. platform for 1892, which he un- doubtedly had. After calling the offending writer on the White House carpet, an official protest was addressed to the head of the organization.
 There have been so many in- stances where the White House has objected to interpretations of otherwise readable English that some of the more militant or re- sentful of the Washington core spondents have suggested the ap- pointment of an additional presi- dential secretary whose task it would be to interpret cabinet and senatorial interpretations of White House interpretations of MT Hoo- ver's statements. That sentiment was most active in relation to the so-called conclusions of the Wick ersham commission on law en- forcement "a summary of the bulky report so completely at vari- ance with the individually stated views of the commissions mem bers as to bring the whole thing into disrepute. There was every, reasonable license for the Wash ington newspaper men to interpret the presidents message, transmit

ting the Wickersham report, as placing Mir Hoover squarely in the camp of the irreconcilable 'drys' for purposes of the 1882 cam paign; yet without repudiating that written word, every possible effort was made to have it appear that MT. Hoover never meant to do that at all.
 ~ Hoover Really Gracious
 "Mr. Hoover's door is always open to any reputable correspon- dent who wishes to have a private chat with him. The fact that two or three correspondents, who take themselves or their papers too seriously, abuse the privilege does not reflect on the president. He is an entirely different man from the one who stands behind his desk on Tuesdays and Fridays to greet several score reporters. He draws no political lines on those private engagements. He is gra- cious, plain-speken, informative without the slightest regard for the politics or the policies of the news paper his visitor happens to rep resent. In those intimate sessions MT. Hoover is at his best, his nat ural self. He is the man who won a loyalty I never have known any other man to command, when he undertook the hazardous food ad- ministration chore in 1917. He Is the same in his after-dinner chats in his study. If only he would for get that he was running for any thing and could revert to the days when he never thought he had a chance of political preferment, we would not now have Washing ton newspaper men sitting around in indignation meetings nor ever have a line being printed about the speed of a White House automo- bile.
 Washington has a notion that if MT. Hoover would take any given problem by the nape of the neck and shake the facts out of it, and give nary a thought to what Borah, Norris, Brookhart or Pat Harrison,

BOND PURCHASE

Professor Irving Fisher Describes Present Era as Product of War;
 Prosperity Due Only When Price Levels Rise

(Copyright, 1881 by United Press)
 New Haven, oct 7-Professor Irving Fisher of Yale believes purchase of bonds by the federal reserve bank would greatly assist enconomic recovery in the United States. & more buying power, into circula- ' ton through the purchase of bonds by the federal reserve bank pr otherwise" he'd told the United Press in an exclusive review to- day, Eve can partially restore price levels and reduce debt.
 "Prosperity will return as soon as the price level rises he de- cIared, adding, however, that the rise must come naturally and not through arbotrary establishment of higher prices.
 The United States can solve it's problems independent of Europe and will be the first nation to re- cover from the woruld-wtde de+ pression. the economist asserted.
 Solution of the problem of ail- ing business does not lie in Pol. lyanna statements" or "buy now slogans, Professor Fisher cautioned.

 He said full realization of the importance of the current situation was delayed by optimistic state. ments issued by "the president ana others in high station"
 Three factors. he said, underlie the present depression:
 1. Debts.
 2. Fall of prices and resultant distress selling.
 8. Psychological factor.

Hoover At Odds
 With Press Gallery
Censorship, Bad Advise, and Loss of Intimate Contact
 Prevail, Declares Capital Correspondent

How President Hoover has lost the remarkable newspaper favor he enjoyed during the war; how he has attempted White House cen- sorship, and how, as result, Washington correspondents are egging on the Hoover opposition fsl congress, is revealed by one of fi1e correspondents, Robert Barry, in a Redbook article. Serious fric- ton developed a year ago, says MT. Barry, and this has been in- tensified by the new public rela- tions'' secretary, Theodore G. Jos- lin, and obvious political guild up'' stunts:
 sUnder a recent White House dictatum I am in contempt for giving this side-light on MT. Hoover without first having sub mitted 1t for visa by stated off, ficial source,' because we have been instructed to accept the principle that no Washington newspaper man is licnsed to print anything. favorable or unfavorable, affecting the president without having 1t initialed.
 Because such an absurd state of dldlES dCtudliy huS uOfiSPSuS ti'S one man of my acquaintance with the greates opportunity to have reporters eat out of his hand, has been poised to toss bricks at him. During the Belgium relief days as United States food administrator, an dat the peace conference, MT. Hoover enjoyed a cordiality with newspaper men such as few men t~f. ef Ae CA nf merce he retained that intimate pedsonal contact. He dealt in can- dor. In return he drew dividends on fair-dealing and an abundance of public respect. His boosters were limited only by the sum of the press gallery membership. He be- licized men. His was an aggressive, militantly favorable press.
 "Leaks'' Trivial
 "The same MT. Hoover now is embroiled in a spirited vendetta with a substantial body of the Washington correspondents. What is alleged to constitute, in nor tals if not in effect. an attempted censorship of White House news was institxted by Theodore G. Jos lin, one of the Hoover secretaries. in a recent hullabaloo over leaks on happenings around the execu- tive mansion and the presidents Rapidam river camp in Virginia. And they were such trivial things! Presidents without end have been and ever will be annoyed by their publication. They will go on as long as journalism does not be- come so standardized that nose for news is not required to polish the desks of temporary office-hold- CTS.
 "The insistence by Secretary Jos lin that newspaper men should print nothing about it ths~presi- dent, nor the thoughts, words or deeds of anyone in his immediate or official family except with hat ifi-hand-pleas-teacher-may-I, is as rfdciulous a blunder as any of MT.

legged responsible party. According to the story of witnesses Daddona and another autoist were racing when the accident occurred. 7
 A car driven by Paul D. Hamil- ton of this city figured in col lision with machine driven by Miss Margaret deLancey of Pine strete on the Middlebury road yes- terday afternoon. Mrs Edward M. Condit, wife of the assistant pas tor of the First Congregational church, suffered a number of la cerations and required medical treatment. Miss Anna deLancey and Miss Elise Gregg. daughter of Rev Dr and Mrs James E. Gregg escaped injury in the crash. Fol- lowing an investigation of the ac- cident by Constable Charles F. Loomis of Midlebury, MT Hamilton was notified to appear in the town court of Middlebury tomorrow evening to answer charges of vio- lation of the motor vehicle law. Louis Wenzel, Jr, of 130 New ton terrace suffered decorations of the scalp and contusions on the right arm and right knee when thrown from his bicycle yesterday afternoon. The young lad received treatment at the Waterbury hos pital for his injuries. The name of the driver of the automobile which collided with the boys bi- cycle was not contained in the hospitals report, but members of the Wenzel family knows his iden- tity.

| vised. It Is not likely to be taken seriously by any worthwhile news paper man in the Washington corps. It is incontrovertiblye that administration policies have not been interpreted in spirit of com plete openmindedness or absolute fairness. On the other hand the White House has attempted such obvious political 'build-up" stunts that any high-school student in Journalism could regsitr and ridi- cule. The presidents nd-picked publicity aids have been the great est, If involuntary, contributors to the anti-Hoover slants on news dis patches out of the national capital.
 Criticism of the president which which newspaper men could not write on their own authority is brought to the linotypes of out standing republican papers through the simple expedient of passing ideas along to senators who will sponsor them on the floor.

West, the administration press agent-without any question of ac- quaintanceship or personal popu- larity entering into the question. The Washington correspondents go to Nicholson with suggestions for attack on the White House.
 Newspapers Offended
 Those facs explain the whole re- cent tendency of the White House to go to the movie news-reeis and the nationwide radio hook-up for American audiences, even though that involves a contemptuous chal- lnege to newspapers like rubbing salt in open wounds.
 ITO say that this friction has de- veloped since Mir Hoover tock office on March 4, 1929, is to state half-truth. Newspaper men in Washington began quarreling with MT Hoover early in 1928. On 'ad- vice of counsel he was nothing if not curt when reporters met him at the Massa chusetts avenue head quarters. Never during that cam paign did he enjoy fellowship with political writers assigned to his camp in any remote degree resembling that of his opponent. Yet MT Hoover was as gracious as the thorough gentleman he is, and as companionable in his own way as was Governor Smith in his bluff good nature.
 You do not have to be Presi- dent of the United States nor the most alert news-monger to chal- lenge the axiom that it is not pos sible to tell secrets to town meeting. Nor can president speak extemporaneously to forty or fifty newspaper men, scribbling on wads of tattered paper or the envelopes of unpaid gas bills, and permit direct quotation. The re- ports and interpretations are like ly to be as varied as the number of newspaper men present, and not infrequently as liable to repudia-
