Added to today's statement from

while the bonus situation awaits
settlement, came a positive delara-
ton from the general himself that
he had no ambitions to head the

Rumors have been current Of
alleged strained relations between
President Hoover and Glassford,
the possibility that Glassford
might resign, and the generals
status so far as the veterans are
concerned.
, General Glassford himself said
that he had no direct contact
with the President. since his
orders came from the District
Commissioners. AS for the bonus
force, he said:
Il shall have no hesitation
in taking any action that may
be necessary to get the veterans
to leave town, so long as it is
lawful. I don't think they
should be here, and we will all
be relieved when they go. They
have usurped a good deal of
authority, but the police must
keep within their legal rights.

ton of resigning to head the

gestiOn some time ago that the
men be put at work on re-
fOrestatiOn, or panning gold, or
in some other tasks where they
might be of social value, but

LOOMS AS
BATTLE-GROUND
Of CAMPAIGN
Both G. 0. P. and Democrats
To Make Big Drive East
OF Mississippi

The East and Middle West
today loomed as the battle
grounds of the Presidential
campaign as a result of de-
velopments in conferences here
between Democratic National
Chairman James A. Farley and
party leaders.
Although Farley insisted he
would treat every State as fight
ing ground, he received informa-
tion from party leaders that the
Republicans themselves would
make their great drive east of the
Mississippi River and north of the
Ohio.
An indication that Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt himself be-
lieveS that the battle for the elec.
toral votes must be fought in
these sections was seen in the an
nouncement that he will make a
speech in the Middle West before
his address at Sea Girt, N. j., on
August 27.
This speech is expected to be
utilized by the Democratic Presi-
Dental candidate to answer Preol-
dent Hoover's opening campaign
address, to be made in his notifi-
cation speech on August II in
Washington.
During his consultations here,
Farley received optimistic reports
from all sections. These reports
convinced most of the Democratic
leaders that the party will sweep
the South and West, with some
possible exceptions such as Cali
fornia, Idaho. and Iowa. The
party strategists naturally turned
toward the Middle West and East
as the fighting ground.

WOOD FORESEES
FURTHER CUTS

Government clerks alone are re-
sponsible for the plight in which
they find themselves today and
unless economic conditions change
before Congress convenes in De-
cember, their plight may grow
worse.
So predicts Representative Will
r. Wood of Indiana. ranking Re
publican member of the House
Appropriation Committee and
original sponsor of the flat 10 per
cent salary cut for Government
employees.
If economic conditions fail TO
change before December, Wood
predicted, action will be taken by
the next Congress to continue the
provisions of the economy act
for an 8.3 per cent salary cut
with no leave, or something more
drastic.
Wood said:
"The Government clerks them
selves made the bed in which
they are lying. So they have
no reason to complain. If they
hadn't opposed my proposal,
they wouldn't now be alp af-
fected by the cut and they
wouldn't have so much trouble
about the leave situation"
