DOAK ASSAILS NORRIS.
Secretary Calls Senator Character As
saSSin.

After branding Senator Norris pro
fessional character assassin" Secretary
Of Labor Doak awaited today reply
to his telegram to Donald A. Richberg,
railroad labor attorney. seeking q denial
of the Nebraska Republicans charge
that Doak had suggested a Federal
judgeship for Richberg during q con-
ference on the anti-injunction legisla-
ton
Until he receives an answer to his
message to Richberg. the cabinet men,
ber said he had no further comment to
make on Senator Norris accusation
in which he scoffed at Republican
claims that President Hoover had sup
ported the anti-injunction legislation
and asserted the administration had
opposed the bill for three years.
The telegram was sent to Richberg's
headquarters at Chicago. but the attor-
new. who represents 81 railway unions
and brotherhoods. was on a westward
bound train at the time. 1t is no4 known
here whether the message has been for
warded to the attorney.
Lawyer Backs Up Norris.
However at Topeka, Kans., Richberg
was quoted by the Associated Press yes
terday as saying Norris assertions were
absolutely accurate" and added that it
was he who told the Nebraskan the
facts the time they occurred and since
then confirmed them in a memorandum
to him"
This statement caused Secretary Doak
late yesterday to turn loose broadside
at Senator Norris and at the same time
to deny the judgeship allegation as
utterly false"
Obviously" Doak added. II could not
have 'dangled' any judicial appointment
before Mr.. Richberg because ! nave
nothing to do with judicial appoint
ments, which are a matter wholly for
the Department of Justice.
Moreover, there would be no excuse
for me or any one else, even If I had
been opposed to the legislation in ques-

of the United States through the utter
ance of libel against me-"
Advised of the Secretary's denial,
Senator Norris said in Saginaw, Mich
according to an Associated Press dis
Certainly he would deny it. What
else could he do In the face OF such an
accusation?"
Senator Norris, who Is campaigning
as an independent Republican for Gov.
Roosevelt, said in his Cleveland speech
that the administration had shown
''unrelenting opposition" to his bill to
prevent use of injunctions against
strikers and accused the Republicans
of falsely claiming for the Chief Execu-
tive credit for its enactment

Lambeth District.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, October 20-Extension of
the dole" payments to unemployed has
been demanded by Labor party leaders
as a result Of Tuesdays riots in the
lambeth district.
The demand was made yesterday in
the House ot Commons by George Lans-
bury, Labor party leader, after Prime
Minister Macdonald, taking note of the
disturbance Tuesday, cleared the way
for debate.
Il demand that the damnable means
test be abolished" Lansbury said, and
that every man be given a chance Of
decent existence"
DenOunces Means Test"
The so-called means test" in the
present dole" regulations is a provision
that before person can receive unem-
ployn,ent insurance he must show proof
that he has not the means to subsist

ployed

in a formal statement, Senator Norris
in this instance hid behind what he
claimed was a quotation from another
individual namely Mr.. Richberg.
He was careful to state that no
pledge was made no direct promise
was made but then with an adroit play
OF language he states that l did sud
denly fash upon the scene life-tenure
upon the Federal judiciary There was
no attempt by the Senator to explain
what Mr. Richberg could give in
return for a judicial appointment but.
Of course. this is a mere trif1e which
would not handicep Senator Norris - =
The fact about this whole matter is
that soon after l was appointed Secre-
tary of Labor, some union officials sug-
gested to me that since l. as the ma
tional legislative representative OF the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. had
been deeply interested in the enactment
of this legislation. 1 might be able to
bring the proponents and opponents to-
gether in an effort to clear up the dis
puted constitutional points in the pro-
posed bill.
Acting upon this suggestion. and
without even the knowledge Of the
President of the United States. COM
municated with Mr.. Richberg asking
him to confer with the attorneys on
the other side with whom he had ap-
peared before the congressional COM
mittees -
Mr.. Richberg came to Washington
and ! communicated with Col. James
Emory Of counsel of record for the op-
ponents Of the bill. who consented to
participate In the conference and who
asked that there be present also Walter
Gordon Merritt of New York, who had
been associated with him in the legal
discussion before the committees Of the
Senate and the House. ] named as my
legal representative-not being lawyer
myself-Albert E. ReitZel, assistant Soli-
citor Of the Department of Labor.
Leaves Conference.
After lunch / left the conference to
keep another engagement. and l have
been informed by Mr.. Reitzel that the
conference continued for an hour or
more, but without any result. How
ever. Mr. Richberg did indicate that he
might have some other views to present
and that if he did he would communi-
cate with the other attorneys. He did
not so communicate
Had Senator Norris had any desire
to learn the real facts in this case he
could have done so, but he had no such
desire. His desire was to utter hbels In
an effort at character assassination.
And the Democratic National Commit
tee became a party to this libel BY be-
coming sponsor for his speech on the
radio and widely circulating copies Of
it to the newspa pers of the country.
This speech at Cleveland is
rot the first time that Senator Norris
has engaged in the reprehensible prac-
tice of attempted character assassina-
ton. Nor in the past have his efforts
been entirely confined to public officials,
or even to men"

road from Allegheny City to Easton,
Pa, a distance of 2a3 miles
At the same time it denied the Pitts

The Loree application was filed in
1925, and after long series of hearings
was submitted for decision in November,
1880. The Pittsburgh & West Virginia
application was submitted in $780,
Would Reduce Distance.
Loree generally known as one of the
last of the old-time railroad executives,
planned the line across Pennsylvania
to be known as the New York, Pitts
burgh g. Chicago Railroad, in an effort
to provide a direct low-grade route be-
tween New York and Pittsburgh for
through traffic between New YORK and
the West. The route would shorten
the distance between New York and
Pittsburgh by 10 to "A miles
The plan called for two branch lines
besides the Allegheny City-Easton road,
one to run from Allegheny City to
North SeWickley, Pa, distance Of 81
miles, and the other from point just
east of Pittsburgh into the industrial
district Of that city, a distance of 80
miles.

Wheeling brings to an end dispute
between the Van Sweringen interests
and the Taplin interests. both of Cleve
land The Van SweringenS own control
of the Wheeling. but under an order of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
the stock is held by trustees. There
has been a dispute between the two
over control of the Pittsburgh & West

Control of the Wheeling has been for
years a subject of contention among
carriers serving Eastern trunk-line ter

that neither present nor future public
convenience and necessity have been
shown or can now be shown to require

Many of the days thrills were crowded into the battle between Miss Van Vie and Miss Tolhurst. Much of the gallery followed their play. The spectators wanted to watch the overseas star as well as the Australian champion who yes- terday eliminated Miss Diana Fish, wick, demure British miss who won the national title in f930.
 Both were out in A against par 35, and Miss Van Vie had an ad- vantage of one hole at the turn. A birdie two against Miss Van Wie's four on the 17th brought the match to level. They halved the 18th in proper fours and sent the play into extra holes.
 Nip and Tuck
 Par for the first hole (the 18th of the match) is three. Miss Tol- hurst doubled par with six. Miss Van Vie was, and required i've eight. Poor golf as 1t was, play on that hole was among the most exciting in the history of the tour nament.
 Neither player reached the green from the tee. Their lies were so close that the. referee had to decide which was away. Miss Van WI was, and required five strokes in which to reach the top of the hillock on which the green rests. She used almost every iron club in her bag, including her putt ter, before finally getting home, the ball repeatedly rolling back down the hillock to the players feet.
 Miss Tolhurst was past the green with her second, and required two more strokes to get on. Each needed two puts.
