GUARD HOOVER
IN NEW YORK
City Takes Elaborate Pre-
cautions to Protect PreSi-
dent From Radicals

NEW YORK. Oct. 81
I.N.S.). - Herbert Hoover,
President of the United States,
will arrive tonight in this
citadel of a hostile Tammany
in his fighting campaign to
clinch his reelection.
The two speeches the President
will make here were expected
by his advisers to be the most
vital in his campaign.
Enormous enthusiasm was man
ifested here in the Presidents
personal appearance. Madison
Square Garden, which holds
about 10000 persons, was ex-
pected to be jammed.
Overflow Arranged
So great was the demand for
tickets of admission that when
they were exhausted an overflow
meeting was arranged at Car
negie Hall, where several thou
sand more persons will be ad-
dressed by Mr.. Hoover. g,
His major speech. in which
the President may make another
fighting attack on his Democratic
rival, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and defend his own tariff pol.
icieS, will be broadcast over a
national radio hookup.
When the President, with Mrs.
Hoover, reaches the Pennsylvania
railroad station here his party,
which will include Senator and
Mrs. Daniel o. Hastings of Della
ware, and Postmaster General
and Mrs. Walter F. Brown, will
be met by an official reception
committee. This will be headed
by Representative John @. Til
son, Charles D. HilleS, Republican
national committeeman, and w.
Kingsland Macy, Republican State
chairman.

way, closely surrounded by Sc
cret Service men and detectives
the President and his official
family will proceed to waiting
automobiles. Accompanied by an
escort of rs motorcycle police
men, the procession will be
whiSked to hotel.
The President and Mrs. Hoover
a little later will meet group of
disabled World War veterans in
a ballroom of the hotel. After
a private dinner, the President
will go to the Garden to make
his main address.
Elaborate arrangements to guard
the President against threatened
hostile demonstrations here were
started on learning that Com
planned demonstration
at the Garden. Police Commits
sioner Mulrooney assigned TOO
uniformed policemen and detec.
tives to the meeting.
Members of the bomb. radical.
and alien squads will be among
the force maSsed at the Gordnn
to watch all entrances and bar
known agitatorS.
After finishing his Garden az
1resS. President Hoover will go to
Carnegie Hall to speak. Arrange.
nents have been made to have
that audience listen to his Garden
speech over the radio.
The President was expected to
'ntrain for Washington immedi.
ately after completing his Carne-
gle Hall talk.

Mrs. Hoover to the Coast as a
spectacular wind-up to the cam
paign.
But if Mr.. Hoover has given
the plan serious consideration,
the fact could not be ascertained
at the White Eouse. 1t was
stated in reply to all questions
that plans beyond the New York
trip were still in the making.
The White House has, now
ever, reserved three hours time
on one of the national radio
chains for the night of Novem-
Der 7, election eve, and it is
understood the President will oc-
cupy an hour of time, whether
from Washington or Palo Alto,
in a laSt-minute appeal to the
electorate mot to swap horses in
the middle of the stream"
11O Electoral Votes
The five States through which
Mr.. Hoover was to campaign so
strenuouSly today Maryland,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
Sey, and New York-have a total
of 10 electoral votes, or approx
imately one-fifth of the entire
college of 531.
All are normally Republican in
Presidential years, but they are
considered in this strange and
troubled year as at least doubt
full. The various polls and straw
votes have varied somewhat in
reporting their respective trends.
No Republican strategist can
enViSion victory a week from to-
morrow without these States, par.
ticularly Pennsylvania, Few Jer-
sey, and New York.

HIT
MPROM|SE
/. On JOB MD

The unemployment and public
works program, proposed by
President Hoover and accepted by
Senator Joe T. Robinson, Demo
cratic leader, ran into a snag
today when the Senate's Demo
cratic steering committee failed
to indorse it.
The Democrats named a special
committee of five Senators, in
Guiding Robinson, to draft a state
ment of their party's position on
Federal aid to the States and a
new Federal construction program
for relief of unemployment. 1t
will be ready by Monday.
The fact that the Democrats
failed to accept the Hoover-Rob-
inson plan--with its 81 500, 10000
fund to be expended through the
reconstruction finance corpora
tion-was taken to indicate that
they will ask the President to
change the present compromise.
The Democrats, however, sur.
rounded their plans with unusual
secrecy.
$1,5O0,OOO,OOO Increase
The Robinson comprom-
Use proposed to increase the
capitalization of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation by ST.
100000. OF this, up to $780,
100000 would be loaned TO the
StateS-with their bonds as Sc
curity-to augment private c~gani-
cations and local communities in
relieving distress.
The remainder would be avail
able as secured loans to public
bodies or private interests from
construction of such "income-pro-
ducing and self-sustaining enter
prises" as electrified railroad sys-
TENS, toll bridges and tunnels
and hydro-electric developments.

Between that date and August 81. 7,400
loans have been approved to 5,545 in
stitutions, some having been granted
more than one loan. These loans ag-
gregate s1,336,211 900, or approximate
ly $7,500.000 day. OF this amount
$3.50, $1,000 was authorized to 4,286
banks and trust companies; S38,960,00
was used in the reorganization or liqui-
dation of 387 banks: $79,476,000 was

"Of the s1.336.211, 900 loans author
ized, 81 1,108, ,503.000 had been disbursed
on August 25 and $144, AGO, 900 had been

In addition to the foregoing, we
have authorized $50,00O,000 for cotton

corporations to enable them to hold
their cotton until 1888.
"The above figures do not include
more than 07,000 individual seed loans
to farmers aggregating more than $64,-
100000 made through the Secretary of
Agriculture.
THE great majority of banks that
have borrowed from the corporation
are located in the small towns and
cities, approximately 697 per cent of
loans to banks being in towns of less

make loans to railroads for specific pur-

approved including the security Of

Commission.
Undoubtedly these railroad loans
have, in some instances, prevented re-

publicity of the fact that the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation had come
to the rescue of the bank, as in
Chicago, for instance, where it was
necessary for the corporation to make
a very large loan on short notice to
avoid a Nationwide disaster. Several
other similar situations, but not so
large. have been effectively met by the
corporation, where wide publicity was
given.
"The necessity Of a bank borrowing
money, or the mere fact that 1t does
borrow money, is no indication that 1t
is in a weakened condition. Banks
should borrow money when it Is neces-
tend credit to their customers and to
the people of their communities and
otherwise perform the functions for
which they are in business.
"The directors of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation want all money
lending agencies who are qualified to
borrow from 1t. and who have good Sc
curity to offer, to borrow money and
relend it; all with view to relieving
distress, furnishing employment and
stimulating business and trade. This
applies particularly to banks, trust COM

by providing an abundance Of credit
to and through such of these qualified
borrowers as have good security to
pledge. a return to normal living and
normal spending and normal business
will sooner be accomplished, and it
should also and always be remembered
that it is the money borrower who gives
employment. buys supplies and other
wise contributes to business activity.
Many borrowers, and some members
OF our advisory committees at the agen-
cies, have felt that the directors are
not as liberal in the matter of COL
lateral as they might be in extending
credit. but when it is considered that
We are lending money at 80 different
agencies throughout the United States
on almost every form of collateral. care
must be taken if the taxpayers are not
to be burdened with a heavy loss.
