BY RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Staff COrrCSDOud.Ih


 Washington, February 8 - tUP) - A quick shout of opposition from the south has greeted Alfred k, Smiths statement that he was willing to run for president again if the party desired.
 The theme of this opposition is that smith had his chance in 1928 and should now step aside and give someone else a chance. Danger of the party's committing political suicide" was suggested.
 Smiths move is viewed here as directly menacing the chances of his old friend and political ally. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. IL has aroused fear Of another feud like the smith Maca- doc battle which wrecked the party's chances in 1924.
 Many democrats. foreseeing catastrophe if such situation de- velops, are coming to favor elimi- nation of both principals

President Hoover has an affidavit in his desk in
Washington from the man who started these false
stories regarding the Presidents attitude toward
the Negroes, admitting them to be utterly untrue.
President Hoover is friendly to the Negroes.
That fact is evidenced by the large number Of Ne
groes now serving in various departments of the
Government under President Hoover. Mr.. Ford,
Negro, formerly editor of The Guide, is now engag-
ed In Government work in Washington.
1t is evident those character assassinating and
ylclously false statements about our President came
from Democratic sources. Their purpose was to
arouse Negroes against one of the best friends the
Negro has had in high Office since Lincoln. / can
not believe any Negro will be misled by that sland-
er.

Alien Student Ruling Will Affect
Enrolment at Howard University


Washington = (ONS) The ruling
Of the Department of Labor ordering
the deportation of foreign students at.
tending American institutions, who
engage in any business or occupation
for profit, if enforced will affect a
considerable coterie of students en-
rolled at Howard University. as well
as other educational institutions
throughout the United States.
1t is claimed that more than 700
students at Columbia, a number of
whom are colored, will be affected by
the new ruling of Secretary of Labor,
William N. Doak.
Designating the ruling as mot only
unfair but short-sighted and unwise
from any point of view" President
Livinston Farrand of Cornell, is joined
by many other college presidents in
various terms of objections. Presi-
dent Butler of Columbia labeled the
act as "Reactionary, stupid, and clear
ly against the interest of the Ameri-
can people, and their influence in the
world"
The ruling is retroactive and will
at once affect all students admitted to
this country on a non-quota basis to
engage in vacation or part-time en-
ployment to help finance their educa-
ton here.
1t is explained by The Department
OF Labor that the ruling will reduce
competition for jobs with Americans
seeking to work their way through
school, and further that ~non-quota
students already in the United States
will be permitted to continue to work
for room and board, but not for money
wages, provided they were registered
prior to August l, 1882.
The ruling as lately promulgated
will affect the major portion of the
100 foreign students enrolled at How

Press dispatches today indicate

You are quoted as saying, Import

If this statement is correct you
should resign as secretary Of the
interior, as it clearly demonstrates
your ignorance of the oil problem
as it affects 22,o00,O0O people in the

waste in the oil industry in this
country than in years. Efforts of
oil producers to curtail production
