HOOVER SILENT.
ON 2.75 BEER
PROPOSAL
Whether He Would Sign Bill
II Passed StirS Warm
Argument Here

Leaders of the major wet
and dry organizations are
sharply divided today over the
question of whether President
Hoover would sign a bill for
2.75 per cent beer.
The modification issue has
been thoroughly canvassed in
the meetings of the wet and dry
EXAMINATIONS, but has been ignored
in the official statements on the
Presidential race by virtually all
of them.
There is no indication that
President Hoover himself intends
to discuss the subject in his cam
paign addresses. Instead, it is
generally believed that Mr.. Hoover
will stand on the prohibition state
ment made in his acceptance ad-
dress and devote himself to eco
nomic issues.
While the Democratic platform
advocated both repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and i'm
mediate modification of the Vol
stead act, the Republican platform
contained no reference to beer.
The President likewise did not
discuss it, while Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt accepted his party's
platform.
Two Give Opinions
The sharp division of opinion
on the Presidents attitude is
shown in the declarations Of
Albert j. Hummer, president of
the Congressional Districts Modi-
fication League, and John Col
poys, secretary of Organized
Labor's Committee for Modifica-
ton of the Volstead Act.
Both organizations are seeking
election of members of Congress
who will vote for legalized beer,
but have taken no stand on the
Presidency. Hummer said:
II believe that If Mr.. Hoover
is elected and Congress enacts
a bill modifying the VOlStead
Act, he will sign it regardless
of his personal belief, because
it would represent the desire
of the people for a change"
Sees No Chance
Emphasizing his neutrality as
Secretary of Labor's Modification
League, Colpoys said, as chairman
of the District of Columbia Demo
cratic committee:
Judging from the past atti-
tude of the President and his
analysis of the Wickersham
Commission report, 1 do not
think that he would sign a bill
for modification of the Volstead
act"

ed his theories for the achieve
ment of success in industrial
relations in the following four
points:
/. Industrial leaders must
avoid confusing the means, that
is, the details of organization,
with the end, which is the
spirit of the men who make up
the organization.
2. The management must win
the confidence Of the men.
3. Both groups, capital and
labor must realize that they
are business associates with a
common end-the prosperity of
the company.
4. There must be collective
dealing rather than collective

can work out their problems to-

HOOVER TRAILS
|NMARYLAND
BY COLE E. MORGAN


Delaware, a doubtful State
from the outset of the nation
wide presidential poll of the
Washington Times and other
Hearst papers, is becoming more
doubtful.
Each weeks new returns in
this postcard poll show a grad
ual narrowing of the Delaware
margin between Governor Roose
welt and President Hoover.
The first tabulation, a month
ago today, with but 387 ballots
recorded. showed Roosevelt with
a majority of SO and a percent
age share of SO. With approx.
mately three times the number
of ballots now recorded. the
number being 1874, the Roose-
welt majority has dropped to 80
and his percentage is down to a
fraction less than So. There has
been no indication in the poll
returns of a Roosevelt pickup in
this little State.
While Delaware is gradually
slipping away, the Democratic
ticket is piling up substantially
bigger ma1orities in Maryland
and the border States immedi-
ately south of the Potomac and
Ohio.
Not one OF these, all of which
President Hoover carried four
years ago, up to this time has
given him better than 40 per
cent of the poll ballots. West

R.F.C. RED TAPE
ASSAILED BY
P|NCHOT
"You Guarantee No One Shall
Starve," Governor Reminds
President in Wire

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept.
21.-Gov. Clifford Pinchot to-
day took sharp issue with the
contention of the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation that
he had failed to furnish infor-
nation necessary to a relief
loan for Pennsylvania.
In a telegram to President Hoo
yer he placed upon the Presidents
shoulders responsibility for the
failure of the R. F. c. to grant
Pennsylvania relief funds.
Wire From Hoover
The President wired Governor
Pinchot last night that, under
the law, he had no authority to
compel the corporation to grant
Pennsylvania demands and po-
litely suggested that the governor
study the law covering grants of
funds.
The governors telegram fol-
lows:
"YOur answer to my appeal
is a deep disappointment. The
senseless arbitrary barge
. which the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation Is enforcing
against the starving in Penn
Sylvania remains.
81 cannot cOncede that you
are pOwerlesS to help. What
ever may be your legal author
ity over the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation, its members
are your appOintees and would
unqueStiOnably respect your
wishes.
RETORTS ON LAW
"YOu suggest that study the
law. 1 did so most carefully
before making application, and
found in it no requirement
whatever beyond the applica-
ton and certificate of need by
the governor, which l made
two months ago. Your board
has read into the law fine-Spun
red tape which Congress never
wrote into it, and is using it to
starve our unemployed.
RED tape does not interest
the hundreds of thousands of
destitute families in Pennsyl-
vania, now on the verge of win.
ter without resources and with
out hope. What they want is
help. All the help private char
ity, the commonwealth, and
the nation can give will still
fall far below their bitter
need.
"Our people are rightly indig-
nant. Pennsylvania has COM
piled more than in full with
the last written demand of the
boards official representative,
and still the hungry are not
fed.
Through its harsh and need
less delay, the board is punish
ing the poor. Pennsylvania
asks for bread and the Recon
StructiOn Finance Corporation
gives nothing but words.
"A California project pro-
posed since Pennsylvania made
its appeal has received a loan
of S4O,OOO,OOO. For California
red tape can be cut. Why not
for Pennsylvania?
"YOu yourself have given the
guarantee that no one shall
Starve in this country. 1 ask
you to make that guarantee
good in Pennsylvania. / seek
your friendly assistance in
righting great wrong to mil
lions of innocent people in di-
rest need. What is theirs by

Davis Speech to Moose Quoted by q. S.
AS Proof of "MussoIini" CHARGE

partment" various lodges were be-
hind in their assessments for the
support of Mooseheart, H., where
an orphanage of the order is
located, and of MoosehaVen, the
Florida home for the aged, &C
cording to Giles.
Under cross-examination by
Charles H. futile, of defense
counsel, Giles testified that he
knew of no reference in the
minutes of the executive meet
ings of the order to the charity
balls or to the propagation de-
partment.
Under questioning by defense
counsel he testified that Davis,
as far as he knew, had no knowl-
edge of the 1880 and 1881 char
ity balls and did not participate
in the sale of tickets.
Prosecutor TreadWell tried to
bring out that the 1929 charity
ball, the first one conducted since
the organization of the "propaga-
ton department" was IAN expert
ment" in preparation for the al
legged lottery balls of 1880 and
1881.
The witness denied this testi-
flying that no prizes were given
in 1929, and that Miller, head of
the propagation department, "only
supplied the tickets in 1929"
Welfare Head Called
The next witness called was
Rodney A. Brandon, public well
fare director of Illinois.
Brandon testified he had been
a Moose since 1906 and was
supreme dictator of the order IN
1880 and 1881, the years of the
charity balls alleged to have been
conducted as lotteries.
Brandon told how he was
selected to draw out the prize
stubs for the 1881 charity ball.
The drawing was at Mooseheart,
he said, adding:
81 drew tickets from a barrel
until / was tired"
Brandon testified he attended
a luncheon after the drawing.
He said Senator Davis was at
the luncheon.
Davis a Speaker
Brandon testified:
"The check for $15O,000 from
the proceeds Of the charity ball
was given to the superintendent
of the MOOseheart Orphan
Farm.
81 made a brief address and
so did Senator Davis"
Didn't Senator Davis men,
ton the charity ball in his
address"
Senator Davis spoke of his
appreciation of the gift for the
MOOSeheart hOme-he may have
referred to the enterprise
shown in gathering the money
but 1 can not recall"
TreadWell questioned Brandon
concerning the address which
Senator Davis made at the
luncheon. He asked the witness
if Davis in his speech had not
referred to the charity ball and
commended Theodore Miller, in
charge of the propagation depart
ment which handled the ball.
Testimony a Surprise"
Brandon eVaded the question,
testifying at one point that he
might have" and then correcting
himself to say that he could
not recall.
