HOOVER SUPPORT
Tells Home Folks Democratic Vic.
tory Woupld Be "Incalculable
Disaster"

BY the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans., January 28.-Mrs,
Dolly Gam told her home folks yes
terday that a Democratic victory in
the 1882 campaign would be an in
calculable disaster"
The sister and official hostess of Vice
President Charles Curtis appealed for
support of President Hoover IN an ad-
publican Club.
Let us not delude ourselves" she
said, with the thoughtless and cynical
suggestion that things couldn't be any
worse They could be a great deal
worse"
The Republican party's victory in
1928 saved America from a period OF
hard times compared with which the
depression through which we have been
passing would have seemed like riotous
prosperity" Mrs. Gam asserted.
A low tariff law, dole system and
measures enacting 'socialistic schemes
OF public ownership, putting the Gov
ernment into competition with its citt-
ZenS," would, she said, make things
worse"
Ans yet eminent Democratic leaders
are 1ully and publicly committed to all
these subVersive and destructive meas
ures."
Mrs. Gam pleaded for the same
loyal support" Of the President you
would give him in the time of war"
In the campaign address she brought
to Kansans greetings from this Vice
President. Both she and Mr.. Curtis
were born in this State.

SAYS j. s. UNF AIR
. TO OWN ARTISTS
Albert T. Reid, League Off,
ciaI Charges Discrimination
Favoring Foreigners.

American artists are being diScrimi-
mated against in the painting of pic
-tures for the United States Govern
gment, through commissions granted to
foreign artists is the charge made by
Albert T. Reid, national vice chairman
of. the Artists Professional League.
Mr.. Reid recently took Gov. William
H Murray of Oklahoma to task for
having his picture painted in Wash
.1ngton by Adolphe Kiss, Hungarian
artist, Mr.. Murray replied that he did
not know Mr. Kiss was foreign artist
but had he known he should not have
schanged his plan because such things
dead for greater understanding between
nations.
Protested to President.
In discussing the situation, which it
Is charged has led to discrimination
against American artists in the painting
of official pictures, Mr.. Reid says:
THE American Artists Professional
League once protested to President
Hoover against the painting of official
portraits by foreign artists, believing
that any commissions of this sort which
are to be paid for with our taxpayers
money should be given to American
artists.
This was in no way intended as a
protest against what the President paid
for foreign artists so long as he was not
being made use of for commercial pur-
poses in this country. Nor was it's in
tent to embarrasS the President, who,
the American Artists Professional
League knows, is the victim of an adroit
system of exploitation, and who must
find himself at many times in delicate
situations by reason of it.
Mostly these foreign artists are
brought forward by dealers or agents in
the United States who find this sort of
promotion very easy and extremely
profitable.
Sponsored BY Embassies.
"On the other hand some are spon-
sored by foreign embassies, who look
upon the attending rich harvest of
American dollars as entirely legitimate,
although this sort of thing would not
be tolerated in their respective coun-
tries.
Our officials find themselves in the
way Of offending the representatives of
these countries if they do not acquiesce
in these sittings. 1t is just this sort Of
situation the American Artists Profess
sional League wishes to have elini-
mated
Speaking for the protrait painters of
the United States, the league maintains
that this country eXcells in the arts of
the world. They point out that the
art group is a large continent-a big
taxpaying group and insist that when
money is appropriated for art purposes
by the Government, they reasonably ex-
pect that such money shall be spent for
American art, by American artists.
This stand has its patriotic aspect
as well.
Reduced to Society Racket. r.r|
For years our artists have listened
TO statements that our art is inferior
But no such statements ever come from
those who are competent judges. On
the other hand, there is ample evidence
Of our supremacy in the world Of art.
In most cases these alien artists are
not among the foremost in their re-
spectiVe countries, but are of mediocre
ability and but little known.
The game has now been reduced to a
society racket. The United States agent

Corn was higher with wheat, ris-

Situation Is Unchanged
AS the year draws to a close the
situation is much the same as it
was twelve months ago. Bulls are

reduced acreage in the American

held by Canada and the United

today and at mid-afternoon * to z
cent higher on a gold basis.
Corn Tone Better
The feeling has turned for the
better in corn. A light run and
increased feeding both in the east
and on the farm are roprted, due
largely to the cold weather. Iowa
farmers persist in their holding at

cents per pushed on cribbed corn.
Oats have been we'll liquidated and
prices are at the lowest levels ever
known. Consumption is increasing,
but prices are not advancing owing
