points out that in the depression families have been obliged to re- duce their standards of living which is a calamity invariably followed by under nourishment, re- duced vitality and increased ill- ness, particularly, tuberculosis.
 "An editorial in the Journal of American Medical association for October IS, 1882, sums up this medical opinion. In part, 1t says: The public must look much fur ther than merely at Q current fig ure for ultimate effects of de- precision. Just as European cen tral powers are still paying the penalty of malnutrition among their children due to food short ages during war blockades, so must we expect to experience in the future some of the effects of what economic distress, curtailed employment, and enforced econ omy are doing to our people to- day.
 "While a few adults may be saved by economic necessity from the results of guttony that thou sands of children are suffering from malnutrition is more import ant"

1 WATERvILLE AVENUE BLOCKED
 BY STORM WATER
Facilities at Intersection
 POOr-Sewer Assess ments Laid

Yesterday heavy rain storm again emphasized the inadequacy of the storm-water disposal facili- ties at the intersection of Thomas ton avenue. Homer street and Huntingdon. avenue in Waterville. when the streets at that point be- came flooded as the drains were unable to care for the ususually heavy volume of water flowing in- to them. With water well above the hub caps passing automobiles experienced extreme difficulty at times in proceeding along the high way.
 Under normal conditions the dis posal facilities are fairly good but under conditions existing dur ing an unusual heavy storm the need of much more adequate dis posal facilities become more ap- parent.
 At some time in the not too far distanct future 1t is hoped that the city's finances will enable the city engineering department to tackle the problem of properly handling this troublesome situa- ton.

Boston, Nov 2.-David I. Walsh, senator of Massachusetts issued the following statement to-day at dem- ocratic headquarters.
 ".In his Indianapolis speech, President Hoover attacked the lit- erature of the democratic cam- paign committee for using state- ment credited to the U. 5. Public Health Service that over six mil Hon of our public school children have not enough to eat. He de- clared that he had. a letter from the chief of che U. s. Public Healtb Service that no such statement as that quoted by Governor Roose- welt has ever been put out by that service.
 "Mr Hoover's memory needs to be refreshed about those six mil Hon children. In tracing back the statement the national democra- tic committee finds that the or iginal statement was made by President Hoover himself. In the opening address to the White House conference, MT Hoover said, Statistics can well be used to give emphasis to our problem (child wclfare). One of your committees reports that out ol forty-five million children. six millions are improperly nourished. Furthermore, in his Indianapolis speech, President Hoover went on to prove by quotation from the president of the American Health association that by and large the health of the people as measured in sickness and death has never been better despite this depres- sion.'
 "A mass of material from such medical leaders as Dr William H. Welch, dean of American medi- cine; Dr s. Josephine Baker, foun- der and first director of Child Health Work in New York city; Dr Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute, and others refutes this optimistic outlook anu

PARTY SPOKESMEN .
CLASH ON TARIFF
Senators Engage in Spirited
Debate on Operation of
HaWIey-Smoot Law.

As Senate Democrats pressed their
BILL already passed by the House, to
repeal the flexible tariff, party spokes-
men engaged in a spirited debate yes
terday over the operation of the Hawley-
Smoot tariff law
The law was blamed by Senator Har-
riSon, Democrat, Mississippi, for much
of the Nations economic trouble. while
Chairman Smoot Of the Finance Com
mittee, a co-author of the measure
said the American protective policy
must be maintained.
Senator Cordell Hull, Tennessee,
Democrat, blamed the world depression
on the half-insane policy of economic
isolation" led by America, and called
for an international conference to re-
wise tariff walls downward.
Harrison charged the Hawley-Smoot
bill with bringing a ''pitiful situation
in our export trade" Americas ex-
ports. he said, fell from $5,128.000 600
in 1929 to 1892 600, 900 in 1880 and
to $2,424 900, 900 last year.
Smoot contended that. more goods
were being imported into this country
today than under the old law and said
never before in history was tariff pro-
lection more essential to the welfare Of
the American people than at present"
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, challenged Harrison to Join
him in proposing a reduction IN the
duty on long-staple cotton, Missis-
sippi product.
Harrison said he would agree II
Moses would help to reduce the ex-
tremely high rates on manufactured
products which were costing the Amer
lean people millions.

BILL HE OPPOSED

Norris Says President Fear

Would Be Overridden.

The anti-iniunction bill was signed by
President Hoover because he feared his
veto would be overridden by Congress,
according to Senator Norris of Ne

sage of the measure.

appended TO the bill, though he ives in

Meanwhile, Representative La Guardia,
Republican, New York, who sponsored

indicate he didn't think much Of the

ment, which pointed out contentious
that some clauses of the bill were un-
constitutional and said the courts would
have to settle these points.
The bill sharply restricts the author
ity Of Federal judges to issue injunc-
tons directed at striking labor unions.
Besides, it makes the yellow dog" con-
tract, binding workers against organic
ing, unenforceable in the Federal courts.

THE Legislative history showed that

AROUSED BY COMING VISIT.
Kentuekians Wonder How Officers viii
Treat Students.

PINEVLLE, KY, March IS CP.-
Bell County authorities were outwardly
mconcerned today over the prospective
arrival this afternoon Of group Of New
York students planning to study socio-
logical conditions in the Southeastern
Kentucky coal fields, while speculation
was rife among the citizenry as to just
what would happen when or after the
students cross the State line.
The students intended to enter Ken
lucky from Tennessee at historic Cum
berland Gap, the point where the last
delegation of New York visitors, led by
Waldo Frank, writer was forcibly
elected from the State by Pineville
Vigilantes.
Authorities said they knew of no plan
to greet the delegation at the border,
but the prospective visit, with its at
tending publicity, has aroused so much
interest here that it was expected a
crowd would gather at Cumberland Gap
TO be on hand when the visitors arrive
The first Kentucky city to be viewed
by the students is Middlesboro, about 5
miles from Cumberland Gap Pineville
is 10 miles farther Chief of Police
Charles H. Minton of Middlesboro said
his force would ignore the students en-
tirely.
Il hope they don't come and that if
they do, they behave themselves" Min
ton said
A suggestion that vigilantes might
take hand in the welcome, however,
was contained in the Middlesboro Daily
News. which, in an editorial, said:
When you liberate In our hills a
band of irresponsible students, who
know little or nothing about the ways
of our mountain people. and they in
any way start reforming what they
consider bad situation, it is bound to
lead to trouble, despite the restraint
and forbearance of our officers and our
leaders in trying to hold down the ele-
ment in our community who are cooked
and primed to give every one of the
suspected interferers an ignoble ride on
rail to the State line"
