MONEY POLICY
"Baloney" Dollar Attack
Widens Breach Between
F. D. and New Yorker

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. (UP).
Former Governor Alfred E.
Smiths singing attack upon
President Roosevelt's monetary
policies was seen here last night
as having widened the political
breach between the two Demo-
cratic leaders so sharply as to
make it impossible to unite them
under the present administration.
His caustic criticism Of the
baloney" dollar brought an i'm
mediate reply from Speaker
Henry T. Rainey of the house Of
representatives.
"Mr. Smiths attack upon the
president and his policies is re-
gretable," Rainey said. There
is no 'baloney' in the president
gold plan or in anything he is
doing to get US out Of the de-
preston and economically well
again."
Smith has not seen eye-to-eye
with Mr.. Roosevelt on several ad-
ministration policies but he had
not bee openly critical. Some
party leaders even had hopes of
bringing the pair closer together
under the banner for recovery.

the Azores.
They made the S00-mile flight

cruises at upwards of 100 miles

they would halt at Madeira Island,
but weather conditions there were
bad and after circling Funchal,
the fiers continued on southwark,
adding $50 miles to their original

The move again aroused specu-
lation on whether Lindbergh plans

route. the next step ordinarily be-

Lindbergh refused to say where

Business men of Asheville, Bun

part of the Tennessee VALLEY
project, if needed, refused to take
any action.
The meeting was called by
Lucius B. Morse. Chimney Rock,
and T. S. Henry, Spruce Pine,

Valley Authority. The majority
present opposed the project b.
cause, they said, it would fioo3
many acres of rich farm lands.
The proposed dam would i'm
pound water covering a large por'
ton of Henderson county and 4
considerable area of Buncombe
and Pennsylvania counties. Hen
Jacksonville residents at the meet
ing expressed considerable, oppo'
sition to the project on the
grounds that valuable farm land
would be inundated.
At the beginning of the meet
ing it was announced the purpose
of the gathering was not to ex-
press favor or opposition to the
plan, but to discuss generally the
effect it will have on this section.

A fast and powerful Parker
High school team from Greenville
drove over a lighter Bearcat team
on the local field yesterday to
smash out a 30-14 win.
The locals were outclassed for
the most part by the powerful
drives and smooth passing attack
of the South Carolinians. Out

stronger team the Cats put up a
fine fight, only to weaken in the
second half under the steady
pressure of driving Parker
team.
Parker opened with rush, the
first play netting 81 yards around
end; the locals stiffened momen-
tarily but Taber smashed over the
line for a touchdown a few min
utes later and again Parker scored
when Tabor passed to Berry. The
quarter ended with the visitors

The locals came back with a
rush. Taking the ball on the Par

pushed down to within inches OF
the goal. The Tornado held for a
moment but Don Parker finally
smashed it over. A pass to Pat
Brown Melted the extra point.
Again the locals came back,
pulling the old time honored
''hide-out." Parker passed to Nor

The superior power of the Wis"

One drive was halted but a long

in the lead, 1914.
The Cats started a drive that
seemed headed for score, only
to have the speedy Garrison IN,

That was the final touch: DIS

NO EARLY CUBAN
RECOGNITION SEEN

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Nov.
rs. - (UP). - The possibility of
early recognition of the present
Cuban government is remote, it
was learned last night at the Lit
tie White House.
Speculation on the statement
issued late Thursday night by
President Roosevelt in which he
defined his Cuban policy and at
the same time announced with
drawal of Sumner Welles. as am
bassador to Havana. led to- the
further definition by close admin
istration advisers.
They pointed out that under
no consideration was the Wash
ington government taking sides
in the Cuban political situation;
that solution of internal diff
culties of the island republic
rested solely with the Cuban peo-
pie themselves.
Furthermore, they added, Mr..
Roosevelt felt that the people
had not yet gotten a provisional
government that could command
the support of the majority.
Interpreting that as the true
situation, it was reliably reported
that the United States was let
ting the matter rest, or, in other
words maintaining a traditional
hands-off policy.
Upon his arrival here yester-
day, General Hugh Johnson pre-
scented Mr.. Roosevelt a batch of
codes for signature including that
for the motion picture industry.
At the same time he expressed
the belief that there was an arly
possibility of a settlement for
the NRA controversy between
Henry Ford and recovery Off
cials.
