JOHNSON ATTACK
ON HOOVER MADE
in LABOR SPEECH

MODESTO, Calf, Sept. %. U.H
Foreign debt and relief policies
of the Hoover administration were
hit by Senator Hiram w. johnson
(Rep.), in his address to the con-
vention of the California State Fed
Grafton of Labor here last night.
He charged the administration
with failure to aid constructively
the unemployed masses, while, at
the same time, it extended loans
and other aid to banks and rail-
roads.
The administration foreign loan
policy, he declared, points toward
eventual cancellation. He charged
there was a movement on foot,
carefully concealed from the Am
erican people," for another mora
torium.
Unemployment" he said, "has
not been stayed. 1t is true Nor
gan and Company have been bailed
out of the sinking Missouri Pacific
and, other faltering railroads have
procured large loans but tight
have been the purse strings of the
government for human relief .
The masters of our destinites. with
myopic vision, see only railroads
and banks but their blurred sight
cannot see just human beings
He scored Wall street financiers
with bitter sarcasm for having
thoroughly plucked the American
people and unloaded for their own
profit deprecated and worthless
foreign bonds"
The senator urged labor to stand
united against cancellation or re-
vision of European debts.
1.-THE only question" he said, sis
whether our debtors shall pay what
they justly owe, or whether we
shall put it on the backs of our
already overburdened people and
make them pay"
Resolutions favoring federal loans
to the Los Angeles Boulder dam
transmission line and similar aid
for projects in the San Francisco
district, were passed.
Election of officers and consld-
Grafton of resolutions today were
to be the principal business.
A. w. Hoch, of Los Angeles,
president of the federation for the
past two years, was expected to sue
ceed himself. His name was the
only one offered in nomination for
the post.
Paul Scharrenberg, San Fran
cicco OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES since 1909,
also was unopposed for reelection.

HOOVER TO STAND BY RECORD
IN FORTHCOMING ADDRESSES

one of amost despair week ago
to the fighting stage. There Is
however no frantic clutching for
new and appetizing schemes to
throw out to the voters.
The farm board stabilization ex-
pertinent admittedly has not been
wholly satisfactory either to the
administration or the farmers.
Most of the Presidents advisors
contend the experiment convinced
a majority of farmers that such
plans are little help. At any
rate, the President is proceeding on
the theory, despite the advice of
one or two who have just come
back from the farm belt who urged
that the President sponsor a plan
for setting up some sort of refin-
ancing plan for agriculture. One
proposal was that the government
refinance mortgaged farms by
loaning money which could be paid
Oft over a 25 year period at low
interest, say per cent.
On the power issue, which Cover
nor Roosevelt discussed at Port
land, Ore, the administration in
tends to reiterate the record.
President Hoover in his acceptance
speech declared he had repeatedly
recommended federal regulation of
interstate power, and would con-
tinue to urge it but that he would
continue to oppose federal opera
ton of power projects. The Re-
publican platform urged legisla-
ton to empower the federal power
commission to regulate interstate
rates.
Actually the Republican case al
ready has been presented. Presi-
dent Hoover presented it in his &C
ceptance speech. Calvin Coolidge
presented it in magazine article.
Cabinet officers and lesser figures
have expanded various aspects OF
it. President Hoover has merely
consented to restate some of it in
his DeS Moines and subsequent
speeches functioning as a loud
speaker to give it the emphasis
which less authoritative voices can
not muster.

SENATOR B0RAH'S
Wife SICK WITH
PARROT FEVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. W.R-
The U. S. public health service to-
day prepared a special serum for
treatment of Mrs. William E.
Borah, wife of the senator, who is
i'll of parrot fever at Boise, Idaho.
The serum was to be placed
aboard a mail plane leaving here at
$40 p. m. reaching Cleveland at
9:2O p. m. and Cheyenne, Wyo., In
the morning. From Cheyenne 1t
will be hurried on to Boise.
DR.. Ralph Falk, Mrs. Borahs
physician, advised the health SER
vice yesterday that he had dag
nosed her illness as parrot fever,
a rare and dangerous malady.
The health service telegraphed
instructions for her treatment and
Immediately began preparing the
serum.
Blood for preparation of the
serum was given by health SER
vice physician who contracted the
disease while making experiments
year ago.
DR.. r. C. Williams, assistant sur
geon general of the health service,
described the serum as the most
promising treatment" known Tor
parrot fever
The serum was developed by the
health service in its Investigations
of an outbreak of the strange NAL
adv which took 33 lives two years
ago. Several health service doctors
contracted the disease during the
experimentation and one died.
When a person has had parrot few
er. his blood retains qualities which
combat the disease virus. Thls
blood is the primary constituent OF
the serum.
The 1880 outbreak of parrot few
er, confined along the eastern sea-
board. was the first serious one in
this country. In recent montns
there have been II cases in Call
fornia. A public health service
investigator recently returned from
the west coast, where he made
preliminary study of the Califor-
MIA cases and sought to determine
the origin of the outbreak.
PSittacoSlS, or parroI leVer, ID
somewhat similar to severe influ-
enza. Like influenza and infantile
PARALYSIS it is believed to be caused
bv a filterable virus-an organism
so small that it cannot be isolated
by any methods now known to SCI
ence.
Parrots are particularly suscep-
tible to psittacosis. Human beings
rarely become infected with it ex-
cept by contact with diseased birds.

TICKETS INVOLVED
IN DAVIS TRIAL

NEW YORK, Sept. %. W.p)-
The government showed at the
trial of u, S. Senator James j.
Davis today that 24,387 1850 alleged
lottery tickets bearing the names
of several hundred lodges of the
Loyal Order of Moose, were trans
ported through the mails and in
interstate commerce.
Opening the most direct phase
of its attempt to show that Davis,
dominating force of the Moose,
was the planner and backer of
supposed lotteries conducted by
Moose lodges under the guise of
charity balls, the government pro-
duced witnesses who said they pur-
chased tickets not with the idea of
going to the balls, but to partici-
pate in drawings" for prizes.

Norman Thomas, Socialist candi-
date for president, has left New
York on a campaign tour that will
carry him to California, predicting
a national calamity" if either
Franklin Roosevelt or Herbert Hoo
yer is elected president.
-"I look. for open. starvation in
big cities next winter, with riot
ing" Thomas said here. stock
market rises and reports Of en-
ployment increases are 'manipula-
tions'-the last desperate efforts
of everyone to do something.
Roosevelt is giving an extra
ordinary exhibition of a man try
ing to say things nicely. He wants
everyone to be good and happy.
AS for the bonus, if his plan is
like Sonny Whitney's calling for
immediate relief only for the
needy, why I was the one who
said it first.
Even. if we don't get elected, we
may be able to force issues with

MURRAY ORDERS
GUARD PLACED
ON OIL FIELD
Oklahoma Executive De-
termined To Halt Fuel
Thefts.
BY GEORGE b. ROSCOE
United Press Staff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. %. -
U.P)-National guardsmen patrol
led the Oklahoma City oil field to-
day at the order of Gov. w. H.
(Alfalfa Bid Murray.
The troops were sent to the
field, one of the richest oil re-
serves in the nation, by Murray
to prevent asserted oil thefts and
riot and racket.
Murray's action followed clash
es between guardsmen and employ
ees of the Wilcox Oil g. Gas COM
pany. Several workers were injured
before the troops dispersed them
with the aid of fists, pistol butts,
and tear gas.
Executives of the company, re-
fusing to recognize a shutdown Or
der, had obtained from the su-
preme court an order permitting
production under a $4,000 superse-
IDEAS bond.
Gov. Murray branded the court
order a "monstrosity of justice"
and ordered it ignored. The clashes
between troops and workers re-
suited.
1t was understood the Wilcox
company planned to seek a feder.
al court injunction, and if neces-
sary appeal to the United States
supreme court.
Col. Cicero Irving Murray, cou-
sin of the governor, was in COM
plete control of the field today.
Rumors of oil theft have been
prevalent recently. Col. Murray al
legged before the state corporation
commission that some 100000 bar
rels of oil has been stolen from the
field this year.
Other charges were made before
the commission, and some officials
admitted there had been proration
violations.
All property in the field, except
homes, was subject to the gover-
nor'S order today. Troopers chal-
lenged every person entering the
area, and passed only those having
authorized business.

LA FOLLETTE'S
FOLLOWERS MAY
JOIN DEMOCRATS
Hint At Reprisals To Be
Made By Insurgent Re-
publicans.
BY WILLARD r. SMITH
United Press Staff Correspondent

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. %. -
The fighting La Follettes whose
name has been political magic in
Wisconsin for nearly 40 years to-
day were believed planning bitter
reprisal on the conservative Repub-
licans who defeated virtually the
entire Progressive ticket in Tues
days primary.
Predictions were frequent that
Gov. Philip F. La Toilette who lost
the gubernatorial nomination to
former Gov. Walter j. Kohler by
100000 votes and Senator John ].
Blaine who was defeated by John
B. Chapple, young newspaper edi-
tor, by 10000 votes would attempt
to lead their loyal followers into
the Democratic camp.
If these tactics are employed it
was expected the Progressive lead
ers shortly would endorse the Dem
ocratic candidacy of Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt. They have been vir-
ulent in criticism Of President
Hoovers policies.
Loss of customary Democratic
support was blamed by many Pro-
gressive leaders for defeat of their
ticket in the primary.
Whether or not La Toilette lead
ers openly endorse the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, Mayor A.
G. Schmedeman of Madison, he is
expected to poll heavy Progress
sive vote.
La Toilette Silent
Schmedeman is a personal friend
of the 35-year-old governor. He
was given Progressive support in
the 1928 election when Kohler beat
out the La Toilette candidate for
governor. In this election Schmed-
eman polled q record Democratic
vote of $4,000, though losing to
Kohler by. 100000.
La Toilette withheld definite an
nouncement of his plans.
"I am enlisted in the Progressive
movement for hfe," he said. I'm
or out of public office shall do all
in my power to advance the prln-
ciples for which it stands. This
contest will GO on until it is won"
Reports were secuted that La
Toilette and Blaine might enter the
November election as independent
candidates. .s.
Effect of the La Toilette defeat
lin the presidential contest was
considered questionable. In the
primary campaign President Hoov-
er was attacked by Progressive
speakers and virtually ignored by
the regular Republican faction.

REED SOUNDING
OUT EUROPE ON
FAR EAST PLAN
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-U.H
The mystery surrounding Sena-
tor David A. Reeds talks with Bri-
tish and French officials was clear
ed up today when it was learned
me is on an important mission for
the state department.
Pennsylvania senior senator is
sounding out IT, Paris and Lon
don foreign office on their Far
Eastern policy. He is expected to
report to Secretary Stimson on
what the two major powers are pre-
pared to do to uphold the Kellogg
and nine power treaties in Man
churia.
The senator is expected to re-
turn here before the league OF ma
tions begins consideration next
month of the Lytton report on
Manchuria and che state depart
ment is called on to take further
action.
Reed went to Europe merely on
a vacation. After he arrived, how
ever, Stimson asked Reed to sound
cut European chancellories on Far
Eastern affairs.
British dominions are said to be
urging London to back the league
and the state department in insist
ing on respect for the treaties.
But a strong conservative element
in British politics is opposed to any
action-such as boycott-that
would endanger relations with ia
pan.
French policy is believed to be
firmer. Paris is understood to feel
that if the league proves unable
to handle the Manchurian affair,
its influence in Europe will be
weakened. Thus the whole post
war political setup in Europe, ad-
vantageous to France and sup
ported by the league, might be en-
dangered.
