Rooseuelt Policies Bring Out
 Question; Ans,uer Is Qualified
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

What do the new Roosevelt poli- cies at Washington mean in terms of party politics?
 The answer must be qualified, be- cause there is no certainty now what course the Republican party will follow. If the Roosevelt experi- ments turn out well, the opposi- tion may be expected to look for entirely new ground in 1886. If they turn out badly, chances will be greater for a Republican reaf- firmation of the Hoover doctrines and warnings of 1892.
 Subject to this qualification to the future, the only logical means of comparing the present position of the two parties is to measure what the Democrats have done against what the Re ub ic n S promised to do if retained in pow CT.
 The outline of these promises is to be found in the campaign speeches of MT. Hoover. By tradi- tion he remains the leader of his party until new leader is chosen. The national party officers at the moment are men selected by him. His most recent utterancss are the latest extant announcements of party policy.
 Seen in that light, several direct lines of division at once become apparent. For since March 4 most of the things so strenuously ob- jected to by MT Hoover have come to pass.

 Mattern encountered fog and ice conditions over Tartar Gulf fore ing him to turn back. His motor is in good running order.

Conference at London AL
 ready Plunged Into Dis cord on War Debts

LONDON, June 14.-Plunged in discord at the birth by the injec- ton of the war debts issue and strong anti-American statements, the world economic conference awaited American Secretary of State Hull's speech today.
 The American Secretary was con- spicuous through the long hours of oratory yesterday by his absence from the hall and the continued absence of most of his colleagues. The leader of the American dele- gation was expected to make re- ply late today. to the attacks on America and her policies made by European. South American and South African delegates.
 Americans Lose
 The Americans appeared to have lost the first two rounds of the conference, to bring acceptance of President Roosevelt's viewpoints. one involving the chairmanship of the all-important economic mone- tary body and the other concerned war debts which were outlawed from the conference agenda.
 French Objection
 The French delegates objected to James M. Cox as Chairman of the Monetary Committee but adherence of four more nations to Roose- velt's tariff truce, making total of nineteen nations pledged not to raise new trade barriers during the conference, was some consolation.
 British Position
 Exchequer Chamberlain outlined his governments position at today's early session and like many others declared a settlement of war debts and separations were both essential for world recovery. He asserted

MYSTIFIES DOCTORS
Georgia Case Believed Result of
Hold-up and Beating on
Way to Work.

BY the Associated Press.
VALDOSTA, Ga, January 6.-Jack
Stewards delirium has the best Of VAL
dosta doctors puzzled.
Monday night he had date with a
girl friend and left her late in the eve
ming to hurry to his work in an express
office. He reached there in a daze,
didn't recognize anybody and has
steadily grown more delirious.
Police, doctors, relatives and associ-
ates have joined in trying to learn what
happened to him en- route to the Office,
but have found nothing thus far.
Scratches on his face and bruise
and acute soreness on his neck have
led some to believe he was attacked by
bandits. Physicians say a severe blow
on his neck would have produced tenn
porary mental arrangement.
The youth mutters incoherently and
occasionally he starts narrative of
walking along a principal street. He
describes his movement in detail until
he tells of reaching a designated street
corner. Then he always bursts out
screaming and tries to fight everybody
around him.

SPEED GIVES WAY
TO ECONOMIC CARS
First 1888 Auto Show Opens
j. in New York To-
morrow.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 6.-Econom1-
cal operation, rather than speed, ap-
peared to be the 1888 keynote OF the
automotive industry as manufacturers
started assembling their new models In
Grand Central Palace for the opening
of the Thirty-third National Automo-
bile Show tomorrow.
There will be plenty Of speed, be-
spoken by increased power, longer
Wheel-bases and almost universal
stream-lining on aero-dynamic prin-
ciples.
New Fuel Devices.
The emphasis, however, is placed on
devices for conserving fuel and reduc-
ing stress and strain. One popular
priced car features a gasoline control
to be set by the driver to suit the
grade of fuel. An eight-cylinder model
embodies an automatic control OF the
temperature of air passing to the car
buretor, worked by thermostat, which
is claimed to cut down gasoline con-
sumption
New types of shock absorbers which
automatically adjust themselves to
varying road conditions and a new
method Of mounting the radiator lamps
and front tenders independently, to
eliminate frame distortions from the
front end, are among the devices ad-
vanced for reducing wear.
Progress has been made in further re-
duction of the manual labor" neces-
sary to drive the new cars. Refine
ments have been made in last years
free wheeling, steering wheels have been
made to work even easier and the power
foot brake is introduced.
Standard Equipment.
The brake is operated by a foot pedal
as formerly, but instead of applying the
braking pressure directly to the levers
the pedal on the new models operate a
vacuum mechanism, which brakes the
wheels scientifically. 1t is said TO make
skidding virtually impossible.
Eight of the 90 passenger car makes
in the show will embody this brake as
standard equipment and three others
offer it optionally.

THE TOM-TITTERS

At last we have a name for the boys at Raleigh
who harnessed the people with sales tax, parl-
mutuel betting, and the school machinery act
Bv legislative enactment the chicadee has been
declared the official bird of North Carolina, AMI
as this bird is occasionally known as the tltmouse,
though more commonly as the tom-tit, it will be
eminently appropriate to designate the members
of the 1888 session of the general assembly as the
tom-titters.
II would not be fair to have the state at large
shoulder the responsibility of having chosen the
chicadee, any more than it would be just to say
that the people should share the shame of some OF
the outrageous acts which were put through in
spite of general protest.
Therefore The Record suggests that instead OF
fling an open protest the board of directors OF
the Salisbury Country club did Tuesday, in which
they voiced the fear that North Carolina may come
to be known as the Tom-Tit State, it would be bet
ter to launch a general movement for the purpose
of fastening the nickname of "tom-tit" on the
members of this assembly
Salisbury citizens are no doubt correct in then
declaration that the common English sparrow would
have been more typical of the bird one would have
expected the legislators to MISUNDERSTANDING
the general level of their legislation from the stand
point of the public good However, we still con-
tend that the tOm-tit title is tunefully aterative
and should in time prove suggestive of the monu-
mental accomplishments for which this session will
go down in state history.
Just as 81. C. B." in the light of forgotten
pledges have now to be initials significant of
the phrase "Just Campaign Bologna" or something
even more expressive and vulgar, the title tontit
should now be made to imply all that the legisla-
tors have done for Tar Heel citizens in the way of
destructive legislative acts.-Hickory Record.

LOW WAGES, RACKETs MENACE
LABOR
(By BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CATTON) .. .. . .....
American labor today presents one OF
the oldest jumbles the American people
ever had to tackle.
At each end there exists an evil so seri-
Gus that the whole labor field VIII even
tuaIIy be demoralized if corrective is not
soon applied. And in the middle there is
vast burden of unemployment which has
Jared society almost to its foundations.
Strangely enough, this burden OF unem-
ployment is in some ways the least menac-
ing of the three evils. Everybody recog-
nizes it as an evil, and the strongest forces
of government, private industry and or
ganized labor are uniting to meet it. Soon
err or later it will be lifted. ....
It is the disturbances at the ends OF the
line that are really ominous.
At one end there is the sweatshop evil
a thing which has its roots in human greed
which helps to demoralize labor and in
dustry alike and which is paid for by those
least able to pay; women, children and the
aged.
At the other end is an evil equally dis
turbing; the racketeer. He has been most
active in New York and Chicago, but many
other cities have felt his heavy hand. In
some instances he has taken over whole
union organizations; in others he has CHS
eled his way in from the outside; but
wherever he operates he has sold out the
%orkmen, taken tribute from industry and
helped to raise problems that will take
years to settle.
Pennsylvania, so far, has figured most
prominently in the stories of sweatshops.
1t is in Pennsylvania that children have
gone on strike against wages of 81 to S.
for a 60-hour week. But there are plenty
of other states that contain conditions
about as bad as anything to be found in
Pennsylvania. -.,.
