Many Drys and Vets Expect
ed to Approve His Ban
Against Saloon.
DEMOCRATS WILL FACE
CHALLENGE UPON ISSUE
Acceptance Address Forecast as
Holding G. o. P. Plank Offer
ing Only Safeguard,
BY THEODORE C. WALLEN.

President Hoovers acceptance ad
dress, outlined to advisors for their re-
action, was described yesterday as rec
ognizing the right of the American peo-
pie to another vote on the eighteenth
amendment and pointing to the Repub-
lican plan as the only one before the
Nation which meets the widespread in
sistence on no return of the saloon.
The effect Is to challenge the Demo-
Gratis to show how they would keep out
the saloon if they carried out their pur-
pose to repeal the eighteenth amend
ment absolutely and wipe out all yes
tige of Federal control.
The address Is awaited throughout
the country as the next high point of
the presidential campaign. The Presi-
dents discussion of the prohibition ques-
ton will be. his first in public since he
sent the Wickersham report to Con-
greSs more than year and half ago,
with q reaffrmation of his stand against
repeal.
Signal for Lineup.
1t Is expected to be the signal for
many dryS-and vets as well-to en-
brace the Hoover standard who re-
IIlduleu dlOOI WIl6I1 IIlS ldLlOIldl COIlNCA-
ton proposed the neutral submission of
a State option prohibition amendment.
To the drys it will hold out the prom
ise of presidential support in the stand
for advance. guarantees against the re-
turn of the saloon and also for con-
tinued strict enforcement Of national
prohibition, while countenancing no al
tack meantime on the Volstead act.
To the vets 1t will hold out-inferen-
tally, at least-the prospect of quicker
restoration of Iegalized liquor where de-
sired than the Democratic plan is con-
ceded to offer.
This latter point Is advanced on the
theory, upon which the President him.
self has speculated in conversation with
callers, that Congress would be more
likely to submit an alternative amend
ment which offered some solace to the
drys than it would to submit the queS-
ton so as to limit the Nations choice
to repeal or no repeal.
Gets Varied Suggestions
Whether Mr.. Hoover will go a step
farther and say as much in his accept
ance address remains to be determined,
apparently. He is sounding out various
citizens, vets, drys and neutrals, on his
handling of the prohibition question and
Of the central theme of economic re-
Mobilization in the address.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, August 6.
The Sac Paulo civil war against the
Vargas government, which involves al
most 100000 combatants equipped with
modern airplanes, tanks and artillery,
and is the most immense conflict in
the history of South America, entered
its fifth week today with victory for
either army most remote.
Fighting on the northeastern front,
which frequently has taken place within
three hours of Rio de Janeiro, has
failed to result In material advantage
to either side.
The rebels have invited shipping to
resume service at Santos, the great
coffee port in the State of Sac Paulo,
but the federal forces have maintained
an effective blockade, which Is causing
economic havoc, much more threatening
than the action in the field.
Although the federal forces have
gained consistently in their drive In
the southern part Of the rebellious State,
at least a month will be required at
the presentFate Of progress to reach the
city Of SaoA Paulo, the State capital.

WALKER WILL QUIZ
FOES At HEARING
Mayor Promises to Reveal
"ReaI Truth" About "FouI
Accusations"
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 6.-In a bitter
attack on his accusers, Mayor Walker
tonight said he would appear at a
public hearing called by Gov. Roosevelt
for next Thursday and would bring
out "the real truth" about these foul
and outrageous accusations" on which
his removal is sought.
He charged the testimony produced
against him at hearings of the Hof-
stadter Legislative Committee had been
''purposely manipulated

be his first opportunity to confront
those witnesses upon whose one
sided and hearsay testimony my poll
tical life Is sought"
Will Examine Witnesses.
He declared he would examine the
witnesses himself in order to bring out
"the entire truth"
Earlier in the day the Governor had
disclosed he had set a date for public
hearing in his executive chamber in
order that Walker might make final
answer to the charges of misconduct
and that his critics might tell again
why they thought he should be removed.
Invitations we're sent to Walker, to
Samuel Seabury, counsel for the legis-
lation committee, and to two individuals
who had filed charges against the
mayor, Roosevelt said.
No mention was made, however, of
plans to call those witnesses who testi-
fed against Walker at sessions OF the
inquiry board.
Walkers full statement follows:
The Governor has decided to put me
on trial Thursday on charges based
upon distortion, Misrepresentation and
Justification of facts.
Prompt Attendance Pledged.
ct will be there on the minute at the
place fixed.
This will be the first opportunity
ever given me-a right that cannot be
denied TO one accused Of even so minor
an offense as a breach of city ordi-
nance-to confront those witnesses upon
whose one-Sided and hearsay testimony
my political life is sought.
THAT testimony was purposely man
ipulated and limited to enable my politl-
cal and personal enemies to cast sus-
picion and to afford a basis for sin
lister inferences, suggestions and In
nuendoes.
II shall cross examine these witnesses
and bring out, not half truths which are
worse than whole lies. but the entire
truth, so that the public may know the
real truth once and for all concerning
these foul and outrageous accusations
with which have been bounded for the
past Is months"
When the statement was read to Sea-
bury at his Summer home on Long
Island, he declined to comment on 1t.

Snecial nisnatch To The Star


Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, N Y, August Crank
lin Delano Roosevelt, five weeks after
his nomination for the presidency by
the Democratic party, believes that VIC
tory is perched upon his banners. That
Is not an unprecedented state Of mind
in a Democratic standard-bearer, of
whose party it is traditionally said that
it is always stronger in August than in
November. Gov Roosevelt believes that
he has won-as Of today. He is per-
suaded that his Republican opponent,
too, comprehendS that the tide is run
ming in the Democrats favor But the
Governor is a realist. He knows that a
good deal Of water will flow beneath
the bridges Of the Hudson River be-
tween now and election date. He is
conscious that the intervening three
months bristle with possibilities which
no man can foresee- He does not ex-
pect them to upset Democratic victory
prospects, but, knowing politics and
voters capriceS as he does, he is not
disposed to do any premature counting
Of chickens.
The Governor feels that the eleventh.
hour decision Of thousands of Repub-
hcan independents, now Roosevelt
minded, may be determining, if not
the ultimately decisive, factor in his
fortunes. Until he has a personal
feel" Of popular sentiment toward him,
after August Speechmaking appearances
In Columbus, Ohio; Brooklyn and Sea
Girt. N. j., and others farther afield,
Gov. Roosevelt recognizes that any long
distance appraised of his strength would
be "hooey." The atmosphere prevalent
at the rambling old brick executive
mansion In Albany is impressively de-
as far as Gov. Roosevelt's bearing re-
veals it, as an atmosphere of confidence,
but not cocksureneSs.
Not Worried by Present Spurt.
The Democratic nominee having
elevated economics-the depression-to
the role of the 1882 paramount issue,
Gov. Roosevelt's emotions toward the
current upturn in business, the bull
market in Wall Street and other signs
Of better times assume special i'm
portance. The administration move
ment" in security prices and accom-
panying conditions in finance and in
dustry, as 1t has been dubbed, do not
disturb the Governor. A country that
has lost its shirt is not going to be

Too many mortgages on homes and

stroyed, too many people made desti-

opinion, to induce voters suddenly to

viii $500 Fines Stop Them

Judge Ralph Givens announced determination to impose
fines of $500 red light jumpers should have salutary
effect upon one of the city's worst traffic evils

progressive to the limit of the law the Judge gives motorists
an oppornty to reform and avoid the consequences with
which he threatens them.
Washington laid great deal Of emphasis upon the
overtime parker although that particular voator not the
cause of the cty's high traffic death rate
It is the moving that kills people and wrecks itself and
other machines. . .
It is to the moving that attention must be paid if the
streets of the city to be made safe
tremendous cost Washington has installed at many inter
sections the light signals which, obeyed would greatly pro-
mote safety
This cost incurred for the protection of the motor
ist and pedestrian.
It would be better not the signals than to have
them disobeyed Yet they dsobyed by large numbers of
drivers. .
To save the seconds that they might lose while the
lights are against them drivers will court disaster and death
While the thought of death is apparently insufficient
deterrent the thought of $500 fine being more concrete
may have effect of cutting down. not eliminating the
dangerous practice. ..y..s.. :,

from practical experience when he points out the danger Of
treating the lights carelessly. ....-'

suited in two deaths when two BUSES coded at an inter-

From that narrowing experience Judge Given has learned

It hoped that he will be able to nstil some OF his
learning into the city's drivers.

WISE WORDS

Sentiment is woman's con-
science.
Fair words won't feed the
cat.
When an old dog barks he
giveth counsel.
In the multitude of counsel.
lorS there is safety.
Better weep with the wise
than laugh with fools.
Beauty without grace is the
hook without the bait.
A good maxim is never out
of reason.
One man cannot make a
heaven to fit any other man.
Take a woman's first advice,
not her second.
The pig prefers mud to
clean water.
There is no stripping a
naked man.
Who shall decide when doc
tors disagree?
A modest dog seldom grows
fat.
If you pay not a servant his
wages, he will pay himself.

It's natural that they should
want to hide.
Truths tough thing to face;
a rough, ruthless mystery. None
of uS-not even the wisest of
us-really knows what Truth is
all about.
And none of uS-not even
the braveSt of uS-really likes to
face Truth, and live with it,
and for it.
Yet there are. a few who
will. There are a few people
who want to know truth, what
ever the cost; a few people who
won't fool themselves.
A Hard Time
But they have a hard time Of
it.
There isn't much fun, or even
much safety in life, for people
who won't fool themselves.
They can't make excuses.
They can't run away.
They can't pretend that they
are something that they're not.
They can't pretend that things
are better than they are.

What Has Become of
Mr.. Walter Newton?

After she had made the
speech there was a protest
from liberal minded Repub-
licans and, there were init
nations that she would be
withdrawn from the stump.
We all remember that now.
And then a statement was
given out by the Hoover
board of strategy which was
headlined in a New York
paper September 81, 1928,
as follows:
Mrs. Willebrandt will
continue the Smith attack.
To speak under the auspices
of the Republican national
committee in the South and
Midwest.
We all remember that
now, that Smith reminds us.
And who sponsored that
statement from the Hoover
board of strategy?
Mr.. Walter Newton.
And what has become of
Mr.. Walter Newton? Imme-
diately after becoming Presi-
dent, Mr.. Hoover made him
one of his private secre-
taries. Thus virtue has its
reward.
And we all remember that,
now that Smith has spoken.
And who else was on the
board of strategy that de-
vised the kind of campaign
that was waged against
Smith? The latter tells us:
And sitting on the board
Of strategy with Mrs. VII
