CONVENTION
SUBDUES
CRITICS
"New Era of Cooperation" Is
Pledge to Administration
After Presidents Speech
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


A truce between the bankers
and the New Dealers, who have
been sniping at each other with
critical comment for Is months.
appeared imminent today in the
wake of some extraordinarily
frank talking on both sides.
Both sides made some conces-
sions to end the guerilla warfare.
President Roosevelt proclaimed
the Administrations willingness
to abandon the banking field as
soon as the bankers themselves
are willing to take up the burden;
he assured the bankers Of his de-
sire to balance the budget as soon
as possible; and Endorsed currency
sterilization as soon as that is
feasible.
New Era Pledged
The. bankers, on their part,
through Jackson Reynolds. presi-
dent of the First National Bank
of New York, and the temperate
resolutions presented to the con-
vention today, acknowledged they
have a new conception of the diff
ficultieS that have faced Mr..
Roosevelt, and promised q new
era of cooperation.
m ho IS EII+a V0nic kHoriAN
Law, president of the American
Bankers Association, declared the
intermittent Sniping of the past
will give way to new "atmos-
phere of mutual respect and con-
fidence" between Washington and
the banking fraternity.
Many Show Disappointment
With a great many of the
bankers, the Presidents speech
did not sit so we'll. They had
hoped for more positive and
definite commitments about the
balanced budget, currency stabil-
ization, and other features Of
the Administrations monetary
policy against which they have
long complained.
But under the stern admoni.
ton of Mr.. Reynolds to clay off"
criticising, they largely refrained
from critical comment in public.
But privately many expressed
their disagreement with portions
of Mr.. Roosevelt'S speech.
The general tone Of private
comment was that the President
did not go far enough" in the
reaSSuranceS.
Critic Voices Praise
From Robert M. Hanes. North
Carolina banker, who severely
criticised the Roosevelt monetary
policies in a speech on the con"
vention's opening day, came this
comment:
1T was a very fine speech.
think it should have helpful
and constructive results"
The bankers were told by the
President in his speech that they
must be willing to cooperate with
all the emergency governmental
lending institutions which have
been set up to facilitate recovery,

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Is U.N.SO
California today baSked in the hot
test political controversy involving
national figures since the famous
episode of 1915 when an alleged
slight of Senator Hiram johnson
in the Golden State by Charles
Evans Hughes lost the Republican
nominee for President the State
and the national election to Wood
row Wilson.
It all came about over the decla'
ration of Upton Sinclair, former
Socialist, and now Democratic
candidate for governor, that he
would be elected if President
Roosevelt issued a statement on
certain policies.
President Roosevelt retorted in
washington that he planned to
make no statement of any kind

SECRETLY
Police Refuse to Say Whether
Identification Was Made;

ENTON, N. j., Oct. Is
1N.SD.-Attorney General David
T. Wilentz today refused to sup
port or deny conflicting stories
concerning the visit Of DR.. John
F., "Jafsie" Condor to the Hunter
don county Jail at Pennington
N. j., where, for an hour and 10
minutes yesterday afternoon DR.
Condor talked with Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann.
Two versions of the visit were
publicized in the press today:
One, that DR.. Condor identified
Hauptmann as the mysterious
John" who figured in the Lind
bergh ransom payment; the other
that DIR. Condor did not identity
Hauptmann.
Pledged Secrecy
Mr.. Wilentz said:
INV arrangement with DIR.
Condor was that 1 would not
reveal the result of his confer
ence yesterday with Haupt-
mann. That arrangement still
stands.
.sYOu say this: From the tone
around the Attorney Generals
office and the state police you
ought to be able to make sur.
mise.
When reporters said they die
not want to "Surmise," he assert
ed:
81 will not stand for cOnfirma-

there"
James M. Fawcett, attorney for
Hauptmann, explained today thai
he had had nothing to do with
obtaining the alibi story of Walter
Furcht, which the former con-
struction foreman of the Majestic
Apartments in New York city re-
pudiated yesterday. Mr.. Fawcett
said:

out that 1 had nothing to do

had been unable to locate him.
But am glad that his duplicity
has been uncovered, because this
would have proven very embar-

ORBONUS
Payment of 1900, 200, 900 Is
Sought Now on Grounds It
Would Aid Recovery Program

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. IS .G.N.SD.
With rousing enthusiasm, the
American Legion at its sixteenth
annual convention today called
for an immediate $2.20O,000, 900
cash settlement of the bonus as
a means of Fastening recovery
from the economic crisis. The
vote was 987 to 1873.
The legion declared it urged
cash payment now because Presi-
dent Roosevelt was committed to
policy of spending the nation
into recovery. The veterans as
serted payment of the cash bonus
would increase the public's pur-
chasing power, relieve distress
and tighten the relief burdens
of States and cities.
Wants Interest Cancelled
It also demanded cancellation
of all interest charges on the
81 ,647, 220, 900 loans already Dor.
rowed by veterans on their GER
tificates.
The text of the bonus reso-
luton follows:
Whereas, the immediate cash
payment of the adjusted ser
vice certificates viii increase
tremendously the purchasing
power of millions of the con-
Suming public, distributed uni
fOrmIy throughout the Nation;
and will provide relief for the
holders Thereof, who are in dire
need and distress because Of
the present unfortunate eco
nOmic conditions; and will light
en- immesurably the burden
which cities, counties and States
are now required to carry for
relief; and
whereas, the payment Of
said certificates will not create
an additional debt, but will dis
charge and retire an acknOwl-
edged contract obligation Of the
Government,
ASK IMMEDIATE PAYMENT
"NOw, therefore, be it resolved,
that since the Government of
the United States is now def
nitely committed to the policy Of
spending additional sums of
money for the purpose of hasten
ing recovery from the present
economic crisis, the American
Legion recommends the imme-
date cash payment at face value

The crime was engineered by q

were local characters or if they
had been brought here from the

Strangers, Belief
One theory was that the killers
were strangers here, which would
account for the fact that they
shot down the wrong man.
It was pointed out that possibly
the killers came here from Phila
delphia, as it is known that a
Philadelphia mob has been chisel
ing in on the local gambling lay
out. Mr.. Wilson was an innocent
victim of the gambling war that
followed this invasion and had
claimed two lives before he was
riddled with shotgun and pistol
fire.
So far, police admitted, they
have not been in touch with Phila
delphia authorities.

Collins

THIS surname is taken from two or
three possible sources. One is
the Gaelic word Cullen, meaning
darling-a term of endearment usually
applied to young animals. 1t Is more
probable, however, that the Collins
surname was derived from the Welsh
word Collen, signifying hazel-one Of
hazel eyes, or one who lived near the
hazel grove. In Ireland the word
colleen signifies young maiden. This
may be also a probable source.
The coat of arms displayed is used
by the descendants of Thomas Col
Inns Of South Carolina.
In the New England colony the
name of Collins was represented by
a great number of first settlers. One
of the very first was John Collins, a
shoemaker and tanner, son of John
Collins of Suffolk, England. He was
born in 1916 and came to America
before 1888. In 1916 he was mem
Der of the church in Braintree, Mass.
Edward Collins was born in England
in 1903. He located in Cambridge,
Mass, in 1888, and later removed to
Medford, Mass.
The name of Collins is now wide
spread in the United States and wher-
ever it is known it is honored for the
high achievements and admirable
qualities of those who bear it.

Opposition in Double Role.

Such are the reasons, I think, why
New York has lost so much of its
financial and industrial and COM
mercial courage and why it is so filled
with subterranean doubt of the new
deal while outwardly the chances for
a great local political victory here for
the new deal next Fall are so good.
In these circumstances the opposi-
ton political party here is playing a
double role. Mr.. Macy is cuddling up
cozily-both from conviction and from
policy-to the popularity of the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Wadsworth and also Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, as president of
the National Republican Club, are
relying upon the underground discon-
tents which they think will presently
produce volcanic explosions and are
denouncing all the basic restrictive
industrial principles of the new deal,
including ''price-fixing."
Republicans, like Col. Roosevelt, see
the President as a chef who is serving
a pie with many slices. One slice
the A. A. A. goes to "the farmers" I"
One imitation" goes to "the
debtors" One slice-section Ia of
the National Industrial Recovery act
goes to "the organized wage earn
ers." One slice-"price control"-goes
to the business men," Now:
Might not the business men be
willing to give up their slice if the
whole pie was abolished? These busi-
ness men think, as a class, that the
whole pie is giving them indigestion.
Col. Roosevelt is boldly maintaining
that the price control" slice, in and
of itself, is indigestible. His policy
is a conscientious bet that the busi-
ness community will presently find it
so and will presently be willing to
hand it back to the chef at Washing
ton If only the chef will agree to call
in the other slices also.
For the developing of such a policy
new non-partisan organization
headed by illustrious Democratic as
well as by illustrious Republican
names has been formed. The purpose
of this organization will be to abolish
all so-called RECOMMENDATION" and to
restore all so-called business and
labor liberty" This impending effort
indicates the truth about the situa-
ton as it exists here and perhaps
generally throughout most of the
country. The struggle regarding the
character of our national economic
future may lead to immense migra-
tions of Republicans into the Demo
cratic camp and of Democrats into
the Republicans.
