DEMANDED
REV. JOHN COMBER

A demand that the indepen-
dence of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the various State
commissions be as sacredly re-
spected as that of the judiciary
was made by HenIy Wois Birkle
today before the third annual con-
vention of the Association of Prac-
titioners before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Mr.. Bikle, retiring president of
the Association, declared that, inl-
portant as it is that judges
integrity should be unquestioned,
it is even more important from
a practical standpoint that mem
bers of the commission should be
equally free from political and
other influence.
He said
But there is reason to believe
that there is some distance to
90 before this view will be gen.
orally accepted. There have
been notable instances of at
tackS upon the independence of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission"
The convention is meeting here
today and tomorrow at the Wash
ington Hotel.

HOOVER SAVED
; NATION, SAYS
ST|MSON

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 0N.S0 .
! But for the wise, strong leadership
of President Hoover, the United
/ States today might be sunk in an
! economic moraSS instead Of being
on the way up from a financial
crisis, according to Secretary of
State Henry L. Stimson.
It was President Hoover, he
|. declared last night in radio
broadcast delivered here, who de-
rserved the credit for saving the
tentire American system of banks,
insurance companies, and other
Financial structures when they
were threatened last winter.
(: Saved Farmers, He Says
/. Stimson asserted that despite
hindrances thrown in the way by
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
speaker John N. Garner, the
President forced through a pro-
gram of economic recovery which,
among other things, probably
saved the farmers from utter
ruin"
+ He assailed Roosevelt for his
s'obStructioniSt" tactics, as well as
;3Nr his silence on the question of
10 cash bonus to war veterans. He
said:
! eff that payment were made,
!. 1t would at once utterly destroy
+ the balance of the budget which
1 we labOred so hard last winter
/, to establish. The mere posi-
: bility of it has thrown a chill
:. on reviving business"
- Takes Rap At Garner
Garner, he pointed out, refused
20 commit himself on the matter.
lie added:
, Governor Roosevelt has thus
s.far remained silent when every
: day of silence is a blow to the
credit of the Government and
the restoration of business"
He charged that when the Re
:eonStruction Finance Corporation
was established, creating an i'm
mediate easing of the tense finan-
.cial situation, Roosevelt chose
that moment to make his for
gotten man" speech, in which he
iaaid the small man was not
.profiting by the operations of the
new institution. He said:
Coming at the time it did,
, It was incredibly reckless. Mr..
Roosevelt has since retracted in

which said:
by a vote Of. 20 to 4, the directors

to support Mr.. Fred C. Martin, Demo-
cratic candidate for the United States
Senate, opposing Senator Porter H.
Dale, the Republican candidate Mr..
Martin advocates outright repeal. Sen

There is no course other than to
support Mr.. Martin possible to our di-

Vermont Republicans generally will rally
to Martins support, defeating Senator
Dale, who as a confirmed prohibitionist
