Himself. s'n
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. September Ex-senator
Arthur Capper Of Kansas said last
night in a radio address that his asso-
citation with President Hoover has
taught him to know the President as
"a man too honest to be q 'grandstand-
err but with courage and backbone
plus"
Tracing the Administrations efforts
for economic recovery, Senator Capper
said that had the President failed US,
had he weakened, 1t is not too much to
say there would not be a bank open in
America today: the whole economic fab
ric Of the country would have been
wrecked or paralyzed."
Party politicians always have COM
planned that President Hoover never has
tried to sell himself to the country"
Senator Capper said "They want him
to dramatic himself; do some posing
before the public.
HE doesn't do It, Herbert Hoover Is
too busy at his job Of being President" !"
Declaring there was no reason for
dispensing with Hoover, the Kansas
Senator asked: What great corporation
would change its president in such
times? Would 1t be a good plan for
the people Of the United States to turn
over the administration Of the Govern
ment to q lot Of new and inexperi-
enced hands?"
