LONDON, Oct 25.- Thousands
of hunger marchers battled their
way toward London today to the
music of fife and drum corps and
the strain of Keep the Home Fires
Burning" despite a cold drenching
rain.
Groups already on the road to-
tailed more than 3o00.- Many others
were preparing to join the trek.
Pipers, bands and filters and drum
mers cheered the marchers on their
way here to protest dole reductions
in an immense demonstration plan
ned for Thursday.
Although roads we're submerged
in many places, and the marchers
were drenched by cold rains that
have swept the country for week,
they maintained their march on
schedule with minimum OF
"grousing."
"We will sleep at Buckingham
palace or at Claridges hotel when
we get to London" some of march,
ers said jocularly. They have been
sleeping in dance halls, school
houses and community centers dur
ing the march.
London police were prepared for
trouble, after the unemployment
demonstrations that marked the
resent opening of parliament.
The unemployed object chiefly to
the provisions of the means test"
by which those receiving dole ben
efits must show that they have no
other means of support. A petit
tion presented the city council de-
manded a general 25 per cent re-
duction of all rents, additional fin
ancial assistance, free meals for
school children of the unemployed,
and hundredweight of coal free
for each unemployed family.
The hunger march has been quiet
and without serious disturbances,
but last night in London members
of Sir Oswald Mosley's "black
shirts" clashed with a group OF
unemployed in the Strand, the
heart of London's business and
theatrical district. The black shirts,
the nearest thing to Fascists in
England, were marching to their
headquarters in Whitehall from a
meeting when they were heckled
by unemployed.
The "black shirts" broke their
ranks and charged the hecklers.
There was brief and furious scuf-
file until police arrived. Several in
juries were recorded.
The Fascists then reformed their
ranks and continued their march
toward headquarters. When they
reached Whitehall, at the top of
the Strand, they found police had
arrived first and cordoned the
street.
The marchers dispersed. Sir Os-
ward Mosley appeared on the head
quarters steps and was cheered.

Health Unit Work
Lauded By Hoover

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-U.P)-
Health units should be established
in every county, President Hoover
told the American Public Health
association, in reiterating his view
that localities should bear the
chief responsibility in solving
health as well as unemployment
relief problems.
AS a result of his experience
during the 1927 Mississippi flood,
the President told the convention,
grew the county health unit plan.
He described it as "the most ef-
fective means of strengthening the
public health service in harmony
with the spirit OF our American
institutions"
DR.. Louis I. Dublin, president of
the association, in his report on
the public health said the nation
had never been better" as far as
human health is concerned than at
present, despi.s the depression.

ROOSEVELT MAY
OUTLINE PLANS
ON PROHIBITION
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

ABOARD ROOSEVELT SPE-
CIAL ENROUTE TO BALTI-
MORE, Oct. Ex-Governor Roose-
velt's advisers urged him today to
follow his Atlanta attack on what
he termed the administrations
doctrine of despair" and on "po-
litical secretaries of agriculture"
with speech tonight in Baltimore
on Republican prohibition policies.
He declined to say in advance
whether he would discuss prohibi-
ton, or beer, in closing the present
tour.
The Baltimore address will wind
up the Democratic presidential
candidates second major campaign
tour, one that led him through the
border states and the solid south.
Roosevelt has kept gingerly
away from the subject of beer
throughout his tour except to make
brief references to a beer tax at
Pittsburgh, st. Louis, and one or
two other places.
Everywhere on his southland
tour Roosevelt was hailed. At
Atlanta he was welcomed as a re-
turning son with crowds, noise and
enthusiasm seldom seen at any
other time in his campaign.
He has been on the road exact
ly one week today, grueling trip
at least for everyone else on his
special train. He has been in II
states, travelling 5000 miles, slept
on Pullmans except for one night
He has been up until midnight or
later almost every night and out
again before a. m.
Roosevelt, in his Atlanta speech
last night, said that less research
and more thinking, fewer figures
and more ideas, and few commits
sions and more leadership are
needed in Washington.
He attacked the foreclosures of
farm mortgages by land banks,
and said the administration farm
policy is imbued with the doc
trine of despair"
"The time has come to eliminate
political secretaries of agriculture
and to substitute for them a sec
retary whom the farmers will rec
ognize as one of their own, Roose-
yelt said.

FORMER SCHOOL
HEAD CONFESSES
STEALING MONEY
Thomas Admits Hoax w as
Inspired By Theft And
Not Romance.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25. U.P)-
Complexities of a Jekyll-Hyde ex-
istance, together with the necessity
for funds to finance a dual-life,
brought Elliot B. Thomas, Redondo
Beach school master, before the
county grand jury today.
The former superintendent of
schools told the jury of alleged
thefts and forgeries which brought
him between $4,000 and $4,000
during the last 80 months. It was
repetition of fearful confession
Thomas assertedly made to Dis
trict Attorney Buron Fits last
night.
A bounding fear of the law, and
not romance, drove Thomas to plot
a kidnapping hoax and seek oblivion
under the name of E. T. Sherwood,
he claimed today.
He admitted that he disappeared
under Strang circumstances and
fled to Washington because he
knew eventually his alleged thefts
would be discovered and public dis
grace would follow.
The 36-year-old former Burbank
school teacher made his confession
in the presence of his loyal wife,
Mrs. Olive Thomas, who greeted
his return from near-marriage in
the northwest much as mother
would understandingly forgive a
wayward son.
The man, under the name of
Sherwood, abandoned, almost at
the altar, Miss Sylvia Wilson of
Seattle.
"My plan to marry Miss Wilson
was just a part of the whole plot
to do away with Thomas and to
begin life anew as Sherwood" he
said.
81 staged the fake kidnapping
and robbery to protect my wife.
She is the only one I love and
didn't want her to be hurt when
discovery of the theft came.
couldn't run away from her as
other people run away sometimes.
1t would reflect on her."
But, Thomas said, his conscience
bounded him to Seattle, and even
before he knew his hoax had been
discovered, he planned to return
and make a clean breast of it ALL
He turned over to authorities
$500 of the money he said he had
stolen by forging names of school
board members on check warrants
of the school district of ficticious
teachers.
The grand jury later today plan
ned to question G. G. Cribs and
Charles Pierpont, members of the
Redondo school board.
Thomas is in the hospital ward
of the county Jail, suffering from
a kidney ailment.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25. U.R)-Jcn
Morrow Lindbergh has been Sc

son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh, intimates of the family
said today.
The baby was born six months
after their first baby, Charles Au-
gustus, Jr., was kidnapped and
killed, and since that time details
as to the baby and his name have
been withheld.
Close secrecy surrounded the
birth of the second baby, the
Lindberghs holding that too much
publicity was partly responsible for
the fate that befell Charles Angus
tus, Jr.
Jon is a Swedish name and ap-
parently was chosen from the Lind
bergh side of the family Morrow
