SPEAKER GARNER
HITS HOOVER and
SECRETARIES
Says President Should
Keep His Secretaries at
Home and Do the Work
They Are Paid For

Washington, Feb 26--(UP)-
Speaker Garner to-day said Pres
iGent Hoover fought to keep his
assistant secretaries here at work,
instead Of letting them run around
the country on government salaries
and expenses. making speeches.
He was commenting on the speech
made by Assistant Secretary of
Navy Ernest Lee Jahncke in Ohio
last night. saying President Hoover
has furnished 80 much leadership
that the democrats are "dizzy."
"Since Mr. Hoover has been
president he has led us into the
greatest depression the world has
ever known" Garner said. "In-
stead Of the president trying to
create new assistant secretaries,
the speaker added, referring to the
Hoover request for four new posts
Of this character, II suggest he
keep his present ones here at
work. Then he might not need
any additional ones
THE country will determine If
Mr. Jahncke or whatever his
name is, Is right. If the president
has four more assistant secretaries
running around the country and
making political speeches there
would be little of the governments
business, and the business they are
getting paid to perform, done"
