ALBANY, N. Y, June 8.-Waters
from the greatest harbors mingled with

Roosevelt yesterday dedicated the port
OF Albany to the argosies Of the world.
Secretary of War Patrick j. Hurley,
VINO was to have represented President
Hoover at the ceremony, was unex-
plainably detained at Washington. AS
sistant Secretary Frederick H. Payne
was the administrations spokesman.
Roosevelt. in commenting upon pub
lie works as one way to relieve unem-
ployment, method espoused by two Of
his rivals for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination-forner Gov. Alfred E.
Smith and Speaker John Garner-said:
I'VE have started too many public works
for political reasons" He added, This
does not mean that in time OF distress
like this we should not use the method
of public works, properly planned and
definitely useful to give employment to
many who are out of work.
The Smith and Garner projects in

Hoover because of the huge bond issues

Sees Burden in Future.
The Governor declared too many
projects have been undertaken without
thought of how future generations
would pay for their maintenance" Con-
tinuing, he said:
we have taxed our citizens for these
projects, in many cases at such an

The public works proposals also drew
the attention Of Payne.

full extent Of his useful public work," "
declared the Assistant Secretary OF War
In his speech, now clamor for whole
sale construction, without regard for
public welfare.
Instead of offering constructive
means Of accelerating recovery, they
provide reactionary measures to in
terfere with its progress. Instead OF
public works that will pay for them
selves, they promite wholesale construc-
ton without any regard for utility.
Instead of encouraging a national point
of view toward national emergency,
they create petty local Jealousles."
Large Developments.
Payne said the Hoover administration
had seen greater inland waterway de-
velopment than in any similar period of
the Republic.
The Assistant Secretary of War de-
clared that "a public works project
alone will not restore prosperity"
1T has contributed a great share
toward mitigating the effects of the
depression" he said. We must. however,
distinguish between useful public works
and wasteful public works"

M'FADDEN ASSAILS
HOOVER DISCIPLINE
Worst Kind of Bribery" Says
Pennsylvania Stripped Of
Patronage.

Representative McFadden, Pennsyl-
vania Republican. who was stripped of
his patronage privileges after a verbal
attack on President Hoover last De-
cember, retaliated yesterday with the
statement that such executive disci-
pline was the worst sort of bribery"
McFadden made the statement In a
letter to Senator Reed, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, asking him whether he
intended to keep the patronage for
the fifteenth district of Pennsylvania
Reed replied that McFadden was within
his rights in "uttering the beliefs you
hold regarding President Hoover" but
that "the President does not follow the
recommendations Of Democrats or other
political adversaries' in making ap-
pointments.
McFadden lost his patronage privi-
leges when he charged President Hoover
with selling out" to Germany in
arranging the moratorium.

our Constitution" McFadden wrote to
Reed, lis to his constituents who sent
him here to represent their interests

sentative government If the men we
elect to the parliamentary offices Of the
Nation are simply to be rubber stamps
for the Executive and the men who put

DETROIT, June "a plea for open
competition was voiced today by Henry
Ward Beer, president Of the Federal
Bar Association of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, in an address
before the convention of the National
Association of Purchasing Agents.
Mr.. Beer, former trial counsel for
the Federal Trade Commission, ex-
pressed opposition to the various bills
pending in Congress to modify or
amend the Federal business laws, par
ticularly the Nye bill to establish
Federal trade court and the Walsh bill
to increase the powers of the Federal
Trade Commission.
The Nye BILL Mr.. Beer declared,
seems to indicate lack of faith in the
present Federal court system, whose
decisions. the speaker asserted, have
never been clearer in the public interest
than during the past 10 years"
You cannot make business strong

clared. If you feel its pulse and
