EXTRADITION OF
insult DEFERRED
PENDING TREATY
Cannot Be DepOrted AS
Long As Passport Re-
mains Effective.

ATHENS, Oct. IA. U.p)-Samuel
insult appeared safe today from
extradition to the United States to
face embezzlement charges, at least
as long as the Greek visa on his
paspsort is valid. He refused twice
to surrender his passport to the
American consul.
The foreign ministry informed
the United States legation that
insult cannot be eXtradited, or even
deported to country from which
he could be taken back to Chi
cago.
The attitude of the Greek gov
ernment was outlined in detail in
lengthy note to the legation, ex-
planning why insult was released
after his arrest here, and why he
cannot be rearrested.
Briefly, the government will not
extradite insult until extradition
treaties are exchanged between
the Athens and Washington gov
ernments, for he is not consid-
cred in the class of common GRIM
inals exchanged by reciprocal
agreements. insult will not be ar
rested as long as his papers are in
order. His Greek visa is good for
80 days.
insult may be requested to leave
Greece, in which case he could go
to some country with which the
United States does not have an ex-
tradition treaty-Bulgaria, for ex-
ample.
insult refused twice yesterday to
surrender his passport to the Am
erican consul-general, Edwin A.
Pitt, who was instructed by the
state department to collect the
passport. insult told the consul
general to visit him at his hotel
again today.
Pitt told the United Press that
further action in the insult case
rested with the state department.
The consul general said he did not
intend to make a further visit to
insult, who referred him to his
lawyer, M. Ladas.

ROOSEVELT GIVES
HIS VIEWS UPON
WELFARE WORK
Says Government Should
Step In When Local Aid
Is Inadequate.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. ID. U.P)-
"Unsound financial policies" have
made the federal treasury's situa-
ton, ''not desperate, but at least
threatening to future stability, y
Franklin Roosevelt declared in the
course of enunciating long
range social welfare program.
His social welfare policies were
based, he made clear, on his be-
lief that "the first obligation of
government is the protection of the
welfare, the we'll being, the very
existence of it's own citizens"
The governors attack on federal
finacial policies came last night
during the course of an explana-
ton of his own policies on public
building as a means of unemploy-
ment relief.
All government treasures, he
said, are hard put to keep their
budgets balanced. "If the policies
of the present administration are
continued" he declared, "there
will be deficits and yet more de-
ficitS."
"All public works, including fed
eral, must be considered from the
point of view of the ability of the
government treasury to pay for
them"
He reviewed means of financing,
by bond issues or out of current
revenues, and advocated encour-
agement of public works that were
"self-sustaining, and said the
cases of others, Honestly essen
tial," should rest on their own
merits.
He urged that "nest egg" be
put aside in times of prosperity to
provide work during hard times
but in the meantime aiding en-
ployment through worthy public
works financed, preferably by bond
issues.
First Duty Local
AS for direct relief for unem-
ployed, he said, "the first prin-
ciple I would lay down is that the
primary duty rests on the CON-
munity. through local government
and local private agencies to take
care of the relief of unemploy-
ment."
The federal government, then
"has a positive duty to step in
and help" when local and state
funds prove insufficient.
Roosevelt favored, he said:
Compulsory state unemployment
insurance, co-ordinated federally
as provided in the Wagner bill
which he regretted" was vetoed
by President Hoover.
Retention of the children's bu-
reau and continued federal dis
semination of information on child
welfare.
Retention of the compulsory ed
ucation law, and increase of the
opportunities for vocational in
struction.
Roosevelt outlined his views by
replying to five questions submit
ted in a QUESTIONABLE signed by
10 of the leading social welfare
workers.

FIGHTING TALK
PROMISED FOR
HOOVER SPEECH
President To Follow Des
Moines Style In Cleye-
land Address.
By HENRY F. MISSELWITZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-UP)-
President Hoover intends to make
his second major political address
of the campaign at Cleveland to-
morrow night fighting talk"
He discovered on his Des Moines
trip that this type of appeal for
support brought response from his
audiences, and will continue his
campaign for reelection in that
fashion.
He will carry the issues of his
campaign to Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt in his Cleveland speech
according to persons close to the
chief executive. They doubted he
would go into personalities by
mentioning the Democratic NOM
inee by name.
Nevertheless, it was emphasized
that, in his address to the Ameri-
can Bar association Wednesday
night the President showed no hes
itancy in denouncing false pro-
phets" for their vain allurements"
which he said were being held up
to the people "even by men in pub
lie life"
The Cleveland speech, it is ad-
mitted, in the main will deal with
a defense of the administration pro-
gram to solve the growing men,
ace of unemployment and unrest.
But in this defense, he may be
expected again to decry what he
has termed seductive but unwork-
able and disastrous theories of gov
ernment."
The speech will dwell also on the
Presidents defense of states rights
already outlined in his Bar asso-
citation address. He declared then
that diversity within unity is the
essence of government and pro-
gress in our country"
The regulation of public utili-
ties by the federal government has
become decided issue in the cam
paign due largely to the insult dis
closures.
The Presidents train will carry
him through Pennsylvania tomor-
row, and he has scheduled three
back platform appearances in that
state where Governor Roosevelt
speaks next week. He will have the
advantage of speaking first in this
battle-ground, normally a Repub-
lican stronghold, but regarded by
some as doubtful this year.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA. W.P-The
Republican campaign to capture
Illinois valuable electoral vote for
President Hoover went forward to-

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. IA. U.P)-
A charge by Senator Burton K.
Wheeler (Dem) Mont, that Re-
publicans have turned the federal
government into "the greatest rae
ket the world has ever known"
launched Democratic counter at
tack today to a drive by Secretary
of the Treasury Mills to place
Minnesota in the Republican COL
umn in November.
Wheeler spoke here last night in
answer to an address by Mills in

WELCOMES PROBE
Ousted Mems Statement
Branded As Absolute
ly False

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Oct. IA.
-(U.P)-Earl Lee Kelley OF Redding
today took over the position of
state director of public works, to
which he was appointed last night
by Governor Rolph.
Kelley, formerly chairman of the
state highway commission, was
also head of the tax research bu-
reau, a state position paying a
salary of $1,000 a year. The direc-
torship of public works pay $4,000
year.
The governor announced the ap-
pointment shortly after returning
from Los Angeles, where he had
Offered the post to John r. Quinn,
newly-elected supervisor, who de-
clined on the ground that he could
not repudiate the voters who elect
ed him to the county job.
With the announcement, the gov
ernor fired blast at critics of his
administration, particularly Sena-
tor j. M. Inman of Sacramento,
who said he would introduct a bill
at the next legislature calling for
an investigation of the state gov
ernment under Rolph
Il welcome any and every inves-
tigation the legislature may desire
to maxi" he said, land I'll help
the Investigators
Referring to reports that he had
offered Inman a superior judgship
in Sacramento to pacify the fiery
senator, Rolph said:
Il never compromise with a DEM
agogue and never will. I have not
offered the superior judgship to
him and / haven't talked to him.
i have my own personal opinion
of Mr.. Inman and I would never
descend so low as to appoint him
judge of superior court,
Rolph definitely declared no other
changes were planned in his exec
utive cabinet, thus setting aside
the report that ROLAND A. Vande-
grift, state director of finance,
might be removed
Vandegrift to Stay
"I am satisfied with Vande-
grifts work." said the governor.
HE is active and busy in the pre-
paration of the new budget"
Questioned by newspaper cores
pondents who flocked into the gov
ernor's office last night, Rolph dis
closed further reasons for his ous-
ter of Colonel Walter E. Garrison
and James I. Herr as director and
deputy director of public works
Monday.
He admitted he had received re-
ports that certain acts of the two
men were illegal and unlawful"
But hadn't any proof of it."
he added. Il want it known how
ever, that I never condoned any
such acts as theirs. And if there
is an investigation, I'll do all I can
to help the investigators"
Rolph branded as absolutely
false" the statements that he GUST
ed Herr and Garrison because they
refused to run the department of
public works on the spoils system,
and refused to give Frank OShea
of San Francisco preference in
bidding for state trucking contracts.
-Those statements were never
made until had Mr.. Harrison and
Mr.. Herr on the carpet he said.
ut should thus be evident that
the statements were thrown out as
protective coloring. I have always
insisted that contracts for public
works should be awarded to the
lowest bidder as required by law

Auditor Ordered
To Pay Claim

Walter D. Carey, county auditor,
is directed to issue a $212.73 war
rant on the unappropriated re-
serve fund, payable to the Imper-
ial Valley Hardware company, in
peremptory writ of mandate
filed this morning by Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson.
The order grants the request of
the hardware company for a writ
of mandate against the county
auditor, compelling him to issue a
warrant for the amount due for
labor and materials furnished in
construction of the Imperial Vet
erans Memorial home. Judge
Thompson also commanded that
the county treasurer honor the
warrant.
The hardware company began
this action as friendly suit, so
that the auditor might have court
authority before issuing the war
rant. This was necessary because
the fund covering the Veterans
Memorial hall at Imperial had
been used up.
