for Resignation.
BY ELTON c. FAY,
Associated Press Stah Writer.

STATE CAPITOL. ALBANY. N. Y,
June % R).-Gov. Roosevelt. leading
candidate for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination, today asked Mayor
Walker Of New York City to answer
charges that he Is UNFIT and should be
removed from ONCE.
Six days before the Chicago conven-
tion opens to pass upon Mr.. Roosevelt's
qualifications to head his party he laid
the accusations Of Samuel Seabury and
groups Of civic organizations before the
Tammany administrator of the worlds S
second largest city. Mr. Roosevelt did
not fix a time within which the mayor
should file his reply. It is probable,
however. that Walkers reply will not
reach the executive until after the con-
yention.
May Hold Public Hearing.
In eight short sentences. Roosevelt
advised the mayor that the next move
was his When he replies the Governor
likely will call public hearing in AL
bany, at which Walker will face Sea-
bury across the Governors desk in the
reception room of the executive suite.
Political observers are interested to
see what influence Mr. Roosevelts dis
position Of the proceedings will have on
his political future.
Will Tammany support him, should
Walker be ousted?
Will the South and West be friendly
II he does not?
Those are the inquiries that political
writer's ask. Mr.. Roosevelt has warned
against speculation. holding that he
acts as judge when called upon to
pass upon the fitness of public officials.
This is the second time Gov. Roose-
welt has called upon Mayor Jimmy"
for reply to charges that he was unfit
to serve as the executive of the largest
American city.
Refused to Gust Mayor.
A year ago last April Dr. John Haynes
Holmes and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise,
executives of the City Affairs Com
mittee, asked the Governor to dismiss
the mayor. Walkers defense was laid
on Roosevelt's desk two weeks later and
the Governor subsequently declared ne
had not found cause for removal.
The Governors request was IN the
following letter to Walker:
Il am sending you herewith certain
charges and an analysis filed with me
containing allegations relating to your
conduct as mayor of the City Of New
York.

CONGRESS SLEADERS
FAVOR ARMS PLAN
Borah, Reed and Vinson Ap-
prove Reduction Proposal
Made by Hoover.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover's proposal to the
Geneva Disarmament Conference for
a one-third cut in world armament
drew the immediate approval today OF
chairman Borah of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. who only two
days ago announced he would not sup
port the President for reelection on
the party platform.
The plan also was approved by Chair
man Reed of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, and Chairman Vinson OF
the House Naval Affairs Committee.
Chairman Byrns of the House Appro-
priationS Committee expressed favor OF
armament reduction, but said the
Presidents appeal would have been
more timely before Congress had passed
heavy appropriations for next year S
Army and Navy expenditures.
Borah said the plan seemed fair
and sound" and expressed the hope II
would bring a realization to the confer
ence that failure to disarm would bring
an irreparable disaster"
Borah's Statement.
The foreign relations chairman, in a
formal statement said:
Looking over the Presidents proposal
somewhat hurriedly. 1t seems to me fair
and sound. AM for drastic reduction
of armaments and so long as all nations
are treated fairly / do not care much
how it is brought about.
Il sincerely hope the proposal Of the
President will bring the conference to a
realization that a failure to lift this
burden of armaments and do it at once
will come near to being an irreparable
disaster
If We should fail to bring about dras-
tic disarmament and the reparation and
money problems should remain unset
tied, it would be difficult to foresee the
evil consequences which would follow
Declared Sound Plan.
President Hoover conferred this
morning with Senator Reed. who was
one of the American delegation to the
London Naval Conference
Il believe" Reed told newspaper
men. that this is a sound proposal
for reducing the burden of taxation.

'FOLLY ON
BREAKING BACK
Asks Positive Peace
to Remove Crush
ing Burden.

President Hoover, in a sudden
and dramatic announcement at
the White House today, proposed
principles for reducing the arms
of the entire world by nearly one
third as means of lifting the
burden from the "toilers Of the
world"
With Secretary of State Stim-
son at his side, the President read
to a small group of newspaper
men, hurriedly assembled at the
Executive Mansion, a statement
saying "the time has come when
we should cut through the brush"
and adopt arms reductions calcu-
lated to save between $4,000, ,000,-
900 and S15,O0O,O 900, 900 during the
next 10 years.
In making this proposal, which
Is contained in instructions sent
to the American delegation at the
Geneva Disarmament Conference
for presentation there this morn
ing, Mr.. Hoover declared such
reduction also would add to the
assurance of peace. His proposal
for reduction applied to every
branch of warfare-land forces,
naval forces and air forces.
Recommendations Made.
Among the recommendations were:
Abolition of all tanks, chemical war
fare and large mobile guns.
Reduction of one-third In the
strength of all land armies over and
above the so-called police component" :"
The abolition of all bombing planes
and the total prohibition OF all bonn
bardment from the air" /
Reduction in the treaty number and
tonnage of all battleships by one-third.
Reduction in the treaty tonnage OF
aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers
by one-fourth and of submarines by
one-third, with no nation having more
than $4,000 tons of submersibles.
The President announced his pro-
posal at the White House about an hour
in advance of the time for its presenta-
ton to the Geneva Conference.
Coincidental with the Presidents
statement, it was learned in high ad-
ministration circles that his program
has met with the approval Of the
Secretaries of State. War and Navy. the
Chief of staff of the Army. the chief
of naval operations and the American
delegates at the Geneva Conference.
War Debts Not Considered.
It was enunciated with great emphasis
In the Capital today that although
President Hoover's proposals for arma-
ment reduction have been discussed at
Geneva for some time. they have not
been mentioned in connection with war
debt reductions.
1t was stated on the highest au-
thority that no such suggestions have
been made by the United States in
order to secure arms slashes. Mr.. Hoo
yer is known to feel personally that
such a proposal-war-debt reduction
contingent upon armament reduction
would be offensive to the dignity Of Eu-
ropean nations.
In his discussion of his program,
President Hoover said such step would

GENEVA, June 22.-President
Hoover's proposal for drastic cuts
in the worlds armaments brought
definite refusal of acceptance
from the French today and only
lukewarm approval from the
British.
After the plan for reducing
arms by approximately one-third
had been presented at a special
meeting of the World Disarma-
ment Conference, the French del
egate asserted that it was abso-
lutely unacceptable. and sounded
to them to much like an ultima
tum.
Sir John Simon, speaking for
the British, said the plan would
receive careful consideration, but
that agreement was not to be
achieved by any one-sided state
ment.
Declared Inadequate.
Mr.. Hoover's proposal for further re-
duction of naval arms Is inadequate in
some respects, he said, particularly those
which concern submarines.
Il say boldly for the delegation Of
the United Kingdom" he said. that
we want more disarmament than ap-
pears here. We want submarines abol-
ished."
He urged that If it Is impossible to
abolish the submarine then at least
they should be limited to ESQ tons
Since capital ships are mentioned
in this proposal" he went on, we want
to point out that the American plan
makes no provision for reducing their

He welcomed the breadth Of view
which the Hoover statement takes on
the disarmament problem and he prom
ised that Great Britain would give
prompt and sympathetic attention to
that part of 1t which deals with land
forces,
President Hoovers plan was received
with almost breathless silence, when
Hugh S. Gibson, chief Of the American
delegation, presented it to the Dis
armament Conference this afternoon.
The place was filled with an ex-
cited throng. for word had gone about
before the meeting that there was to
be a message from the President.
Previously, advance copies Of Mr.. Glib
sons speech had been circulated among
the various delegations. The first re-
action from the British was careful,
prudent approval in general terms.
The French, on the other hand. re-
ceived the announcement with frank
hostility.

secretary, said that so far as Great
Britain is concerned the proposal will
receive prompt and careful examina-
