IRISH COACH
ALMOST QU| 7

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Jan. A. U.P)
Elmer Layden, one of Notre Dame
uniyersity's famous Four Horsemen
and recently named football coach
and athletic director at his alma
mater, almost quit school in his
freshman year.
when I came to Notre Dame I
had to stand in line four hours to
register. Then bunked with a cou-
sin instead of occupying a third
tier berth in another room with
two other fellows. I was homesick
and tired of everything" Layden
told interyiewers here.
Finally, went so far as to get a
time table and look up trains for
home at Davenport when Dan
Coughlin took me over to watch
football practice.
THAT didn't impress me but 1
was clinched into staying when
Rock said with his friendly smile:
Elmer, we haven't lost fresh
man yet. I hope you're not going
to be the first one!"

THREE BANDITS ROB
CHICAGO BOUND BUS
Ten Passengers Lose $125 to $500
in Hold-Up Near
Detroit.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 29-Emulating
sta9ecoach robbers Of years gone by,
three well-dressed young men held up
a Chicago bound bus early yesterday
and took between s125 and 5000 from
the 10 passengers The robbery oc-
Cured at the outskirts of Detroit.
The three men boarded the bus at a
downtown station, with tickets for
South Bend, Ind. One stOok a seat
near the driver, the others going to
the rear of the bus.
Apparently~ taking their cue from
three horn blasts from trailing auto
mobile, the robbers went into action.
One showed a pistol into the back of
the driver, Phillip H. Fiekert, and
forced him to turn on the interior
lights. The other two then forced the
passengers to give up their purses and
other valuables.
Then the robbers alighted, warning
the driver that they would follow in
their automobile and shoot If he
stopped to call police.
Fiekert drove on for miles, then
notified State police. He saw nothing
more of the bandits.
Manferd Burleigh, vice president
and assistant general manager OF the
Greyhound Lines, operating the bus,
said the passengers were fed at the
company's own hotel and furnished
transportation to their destinations,
although most of them lost their
tickets along with their other
valuables.

in Wilmington on his way to New York
to vote, since his train will go through
the city late at night. In the letter the
President expressed his warm friend
ship for Adams.
No bitter personalities have deyel-
oped in the campaign for Senator be-
tween the two contestants. Adams is
constantly supporting the New Deal
and the President. Townsend, al
though he has gone along in the Sem
ate consistently with his colleague,
Senator Hastings, in opposition to the
New Deal and is known as an anti
New Dealer, is talking considerably Of
State issues and has made no violent
attacks on the New Deal or the Presf-
dent.
"Purchasabl Vote"
Money in the past has done its share
in Delaware campaigns. There Is
what is known as the ''purchasable
vote" The Democrats are worried lest
Republican money turn the voting
against them. They charge there are
some 10000 illegal voters in Whining
ton and demand that the lists be
purged. They talk of bringing Federal
officers to investigation and keep
watch on the election
The Democrats have nominated for
the House John c. Hazard. presi-
dent Of the Wilmington City Council,
and against him the Republicans
have put in the field young man,
comparatively unknown to politics
and to the State. ]. George Stewart.
They both live in Wilmington.
Stewart has been q member of the
State Athletic Commission. Because
Stewart Is not known down State,
Democrats say Hazard Is likely to
win.
The Democrats have adopted New
Deal platform. 1t is brief and with
out reservations. 1t begins: THE
Democratic party Of the State of
Delaware subscribes and supports
without reservation the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and its policies and the
New Deal for the benefit of all the
people of our beloved country, labor
and capital, the sick and aged and
unemployed" In conclusion, the plat
form says: I'VE believe in the COM
plete reform of all election laws SO
drastically written and enforced that
the buying OF votes will be elimi-
mated"
Representative Rankin of Missis-
sippi, fiery Democrat, has sent Sen
ator Hastings q challenge to meet
him in joint debate in Delaware on
the New Deal. Rankin is coming
here to speak for the Democratic
ticket before election day. Senator
Hastings, chairman of the Republican
Senatorial Campaign Committee,
weeks ago ridiculed q proposal ad-
vanced by Senator Lewis of Illinois,
the Democratic chairman, that all
senatorial candidates hold joint de-
bates this year, saying the Repub-
licans could manage their own cam.
paigns and did not intend to turn
their meetings over to Democratic
speakers. It Is not likely Hastings
will accept the Rankin challenge.

HASTINGS CHARGES
new IDEAL FAk|NG'
Says Some Big Projects,

Cannot Go Through.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Democratic administration is
engaging in Q conspiracy Of political
panhandling," Sanator Hastings OF
Delaware, co-chairman of the Repub-
lican Senatorial Congressional Cam
paign Committee. said last night in a
statement This plan is being car
ried out with the knowledge and con-
sent, and. in many instances, on the
direct orders of the White House." he
added.
Hastings enumerated several big
power and irrigation projects either
approved or favorably considered by
the administration. and added:
Every one realizes, of course, that
some Of these things are pure political
fakes. Money dangled before the
voters prior to election will be swiftly
withdrawn after November 6. In
other cases, however, the administra-
ton is forced to deliver for various po-
litical reasons. Consequently, dams
will be built in the desert and engi-
neers will turn in instructed verdicts
just as long as the people will stand
for it,
Fish Raps Farley.
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York, in another statement, held
that Postmaster General Farley, who
is substituting for Santa Claus on the
New Deal foot ball team, has fumbled
the ball badly and added another
blunder to his airmail fiasco by in
dorsing Upton Sinclair as a good
Democrat for election as Governor of
California"
Fish made no reference to the ex-
planation that Farleys letter indors-
ing Sinclair, the former Socialist, was
q stenographic mistake.
1T does seem q little strange, how
ever" he continued, for Mr.. Farley to
join the band wagon behind Upton
Sinclair, who has denounced all re-
ligious beliefs, including that of the
Catholics, Protestants and Jews. The
Endorsement of Sinclair by the Demo
cratic national chairman is an affront
to the religious sentiment Of the coun-
try"
New Study Planned.
Whlle these statements were nelplnS
to keep the Capital election conscious,
another study Of the New Deal was

Roger Baldwin, director of the
American Civil Liberties Union, said
he was asking q number OF organiza-
tions to meet in Washington December
8. The major purposes. he said, will
be to recommend legislation assuring

in the movies and to protect the rights
of workers and all minority groups.

Jobs INSURANCE
APPROVAL SEEN
Harrison, After Conference
at White House, Also Pre-
diets Relief Changes.

Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committe predicted today at
the White House that unemployment
insurance legislation would be enacted
at the next session of Congress.
The Mississippi Senator made this
statement after a conference with
President Roosevelt, and at the same
time said there would be a determined
move during the next session of Con-
gress to make material changes In the
present relief set-up.
Senator Harrison was unable to say
just what form the unemployment in
surance or the proposed changes in
the relief set-up would take, and said
much study must be given to both
subjects.
Hearings Soon.
The Mississippian told the Presi-
dent the Finance Committee will be-
gin hearings the latter part of next
month and would enter upon an in
tensive study of the question of unem-
ployment insurance. He said the COM
mittee already has drafts Of several
such bills.
Senator Harrison expressed hope
there would be no need for increased
taxes, but would make no predictions,
other than to say Government re-
ccipts are coming in in a satisfactory
manner. and 1t may be possible to
get along without increased taxation.
He added that this must depend
upon the amount of money to be
spent for emergency relief.
Fav0rs Relief Change.
1t is his personal belief that there
should be change in the matter
Of handing out money to aid those
out Of work and in distress. He
personally favors relief more in the
form Of rehabilitation rather than the
present method Of direct relief.
He also is of the opinion that the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. should
employ more liberal system of
loaning money to private industry for
the purpose of encouraging expansion
which will result in the employment
Of more people.

1882, although by 4 small margin.
Notwithstanding the desperate fight
made for Alfred E. Smith, the Demo-
cratic nominee in 1928. who had the
support of part of the all-powerful
du Font family in that race, Mr..
Hoover won by $4,000 in that year.
So the Democrats start this year with
the odds against them. In addition
Irene du Pont is back in the Republi-
can fold, which he deserted in 1928
because Of his opposition to national
prohibition. Lamont and Pierre du
Pont are understood to be in line for
the Republican ticket, and Alfred +.
du Pont has strongly urged the re-
election of Townsend. The influence
OF the Dupont family in the State is
great
In the recent Literary Digest poll,
however, the Roosevelt New Deal made
surprising gains in Delaware. It was
one Of five States out Of the 48 which
showed an increase in popularity for
the New Deal. In the poll taken last
March, Delaware stood 1888 per cent
for the New Deal and 66.67 per cent
against it. The poll taken In August
and September gave so per cent for
the New Deal and so per cent against.
Furthermore, it is the opinion Of many
OF the politicians that President Roose-
velt is very popular in the State. II
1t were not for the factional troubles
Of the Democrats, the situation would
not look SO well for the Republicans.
Registration Large.
The largest registration in the
States history has been reported this
year, approximately 12s,000. What
this means remains to be seen. The
State has about 1900 families on the
relief rolls, affecting about 10000 per-
sons, although all are not voters.
Practically all this relief roll is located
in Wilmington, which has approxi-
mately one-haf Of the voting strength
of the State. The Democrats are hop
ing that most Of the "reliefers," will
vote for the Democratic candidates.
However, many Of them are colored
people who vote Republican generally.
10000 In the State.
There is provision In the state
Constitution that "paupers" cannot
vote. No effort, however, has been
made by either side in this campaign
to have the persons on relief stricken
from the voting lists. The Democrats
were successful at the polls in the
municipal elections in Wilmington
last year and their candidate for
mayor won, the first in many years.
