DEFENDS HOOVER

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. d. UP)-
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt LongWorth,
the Princess Alice" of her fathers
days in the White House, today
had full-fledged part in the 1882
Republican campaign.
For the first time the daughter
of Theodore Roosevelt and wife of
the late speaker of the house
stepped from her place of promi-
nence in the Washington back
ground with a formal campaign
address last night.
Mrs. Longworth eXcoriated what
she characterized as the "Shifty
Sadie" campaign tactics of the
Democratic party and denounced
attempts to blame President
Hoover for the economic depres-
sion.
$50 far as I can recollect," said
Mrs. Longworth, "the three year
effort of the Democratic party to
saddle Mr.. Hoover with complete
responsibility for everything that
has happened to us since 1929
takes first rank among samples of
conscious and unscrupulous parts
an dishonesty"
She attacked the record of the
Democratic house of representa-
tives and asserted the Democrats
had made no attempt to defend
that record.

SELF-FLY|NG
PLANE BUILT.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4. UP)-A
self flying" airplane which its
investors claim will write a new
phase in aviation safety, will go
aloft here November IL in an at
tempt to show that pilot of the
future will be virtually nonentity.
The plane, the invention of DR..
G. H. Vance of Pomona, Calf,
was given its first public tests yes
terday. Lieut.. Fred Munro, the
pilot, said that the Vance safety
device prevented sideslips, tail
spins, power dives or motor stalls
caused by too rapid climbing. 1t
enabled him to take off and land
without touching the controls, he
said.
The device is composed of four
fins, or air foils. Two are sus-
pended from the underside of the
wing, with the leading edge cut
ting into the wind. Two more eX-
tend from the fuselage, much like
stub wings.
Should the plane start to side
slip, Munro said, the air pressure
on the wing air-foils causes the
ailerons to adjust themselves,
bringing the ship to an even keel.
Should the plane climb or dive too
rapidly, air pressure on the hori-
zontal fins raises or lowers the ele-
Vator to level of.

FINAL APPEAL
Will Bring Campaign To End
Tomorrow Night In Madison
Square Garden.

NEW YORK, Nov. A. - Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign
for the presidency reached its
semi-final stage today when the
Democratic nominee, in the study
of his New York home, concen-
trated on preparations for his last
two appeals to the electorate-the
first in Brooklyn tonight, the
second at Madison Square Garden
tomorrow.
The governor, who again assail-
ed the Republican leadership for
its so-called Campaign of fear
in an address last night to the Re-
publicans-for- Roosevelt League, is
expected to reiterate his charges
tonight in Brooklyn.
1t was an unusual political au-
dience that greeted the candidate
IN an ancient metropolitan opera
house last night. The famous
Golden Horse Shoe" was filled with
voters, many of them In evening
clothes. But from these boxes,
throughout the rally, came cries
for "beer-We want beer" Re-
straint was forgotten when the two
principal speakers, Roosevelt and
Owen D. Young, were introduced
The governors speech was one
of the most vigorous of his cam
paign. That of Young brought
the chairman of the board of
General Electric company, great
friend of Alfred E. Smith, to the
platform for the first time since
the campaign began. Young at
tackled the leadership of President
Hoover and called for the election
of Roosevelt and Garner
The President, Governor Roose-
welt declared, asks "a vote of con-
fidence because he says that but
for him the situation would have
been worse. He asks the nation
to wait and hope for some miracle
of invention to make things bet
ter"
System Common Heritage
1.-THE most extraordinary, the
most amazing and 1 believe the
most un-American episode of this
entire campaign of 1882" Roose-
welt said, sis the eleventh-hour eff
fort of the President to arrogate TO
himself and his handful of asso-
ciates in Washington the right to
claim an exclusive Interpretation
of and ownership in the American
system of government"
Continuing his attack on the
Presidents theme of his New York
speech last Monday, the governor
said "the American system is the
common heritage and common pos
session of all Americans" and that
neither the Republican nor Dem
ocratic party has patent on it.
The governor outlined the main
points of his principal speeches OF
the campaign as they referred to
rehabilitation of the railroads, the
restoration of agriculture" the
conduct of utilities, relief of I'M
employment, and the national bud
get.
Young devoted the major effort
of his speech to an analysis OF
the foreign situation, the tariff,
and some references to what he,
also termed the Campaign of fear"

Crandall admitted his part in
the smuggling plot when arraigned
yesterday before Dorsey Whitelaw,
United States commissioner, and
was held on a smuggling charge
under $500 bail. Baker was re-
leased from jail upon the testi-
mony of Crandall, who said he
picked Baker up just north of Cal
exico Wednesday night, and that
Baker had no hand in smuggling
20 gallons of alcohol and five gall
Ions of whisky across the interna-
tional border.
The Investigations of immigra-
ton and customs officers also dis
closed a tangled web of circum-
stances surrounding the owner
of the automobile in which Baker
