HILL-LEHTINEN
TO RUN SPECIAL
RACE AT CHICAGO

LOS ANGELES, Aug. -. W.P)-
Ralph Hill American, and Lauri
Lehtinen, CT Finland, will run a
match 5.000-metor race at Chicago
on the night of august 18, it was
announced here today by j. l..
Bingham, assistant to the presi-
dent of the A. A. u.
The Hill-Lehtinen g,000-meter
race in the 1892 Olympic games
was hotly contested. The pair ran
away from the Iield and Lehtinen
finished about a step ahead of the
American. Many claimed Leht-
inen zig-zagged in front Of Hill as
the runner from Oregon attempted
to pass him ON the home stretch.
The committee in charge did not
disqualify the Finn and the Ameri-
can refused to press claims Of a
foul.
When Lehtinen was called to the
victors pedestal to receive honors
he attempted to pull Hill to the
stand beside him. The American
refused, but the two youths shook
hands and Lehtinen pinned his
team medal on Hills chest.
Lehtinen offered to run the race
again, but Hill said he was salts
fled with the result.
Four days ago Hill proposed the
pair compete at Chicago but this
time Lehtinen refused, blaming a
sore leg.
Today Lehtinen agreed to the
proposal, on condition the Chicago
committee permit no other runners
in the race. Jannusc Kucocinski of
Poland, winner of the Olympic
15,000-meter title, is scheduled to
run in the 5000-meter at Chicago,
but he will instead compete in the
longer race, it was announced.

Raps Democratic Stand
Our opponents pledge members
of their party to destroy every YES
tige of constitutional and effective
federal control of the traffic Mr.
Hoover said. THAT means over
large areas the return of the saloon
system"
This is the first time during fed
eral prohibition that President
has made any recommendation
touching the 18th amendment.
European debtors were given q
hint for easing the war debt bur-
den. Mr.. Hoover, while standing
firmly against cancellation, said he
believed the country would consider
some other tangible form of COM
pensation such as the expansion of
markets for American agriculture
and labor, and the restoration and
maintenance of our prosperity. :.
Mr.. Hoover lashed out against
radicahsm and explained at length
how the administration reconstruc-
ton program had conformed to
traditional American principles of
encouraging private self-help. He
emphasized that a strong drive is
under way to attack the depression
on all fronts.
Mr.. Hoover choked up when he
discussed the suffering and misery
caused by the depression.
mo man with spark of human
ity can sit in my place without suf-
fering from the picture Of their
anxieties ard hardships before him
day and night" he said. "They
would be more than human if they
were not led to blame their con-
dition upon the government in
power. I have understood their
sufferings and have worked to the
limits Of my strength to produce
action that would really help them" 3"

The Democratic vice-presidential
nominee had not seen a copy of
President Hoover's speech accepting
the Republican nomination, but
grinned broadly when portions of it
were quoted to him. He was par
ticularly interested in the account
of Mr.. Hoovers statement advocat-
ing a change in the 18th amend
ment
"Just like their platform" he OBJ
served. 1T doesn't mean thing"
