The Truth About
Shipstead's Record
RECOVERY ACT

NATIONAL RECOVERY ACT
Hoidale said in a speech on
October 18th that Shipstead voted
against the MIRA. WHAT is THE
TRUTH?
Shipstead voted for the NRA
with the Borah Amendment to re-
instate the Anti Trust Laws
for the purpose of protecting the
small business man and consumers
against price fixing of trusts and
monopolies.
Home Owners Loan Corporation
Hoidale said Shipstead voted
against the Home Owners Loan
Corporation. WHAT is THE
TRUTH?
Shipstead voted for the Home
Owners Loan Corporation Act with
the amendment which was openly
advocated by the President, that
appointments to administrative
positions under that Act should be
made solely on the basis of quail
fication without regard to political
party affiliation.
The Securities Act
Hoidale said Shipstead voted
against the Securities Act.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
Shipstead did not vote on the
Securities Act. He was in con-
ference with the President when
the vote was taken and the record
so states. He was prepared to re-
turn if his vote was needed and
the record states quoting Ship
stead that he was in favor of the
bill. It passed overwhelmingly, so
his absence did not jeopardize the
passage of the bill.
Bank Deposit Insurance Act
Hoidale said Shipstead voted
against the Bank Guarantee In
surance Act. WHAT is THE
TRUTH?
Shipstead voted for the Bill. 1t
passed by unanimous vote of the
Senate.
CWA Appropriations
Hoidale said Shipstead voted
against the CWA. WHAT is THE
TRUTH?
Shipstead voted for the Cutting
and LaFollette amendments to the
bill which would increase the ap-
preparation provided for the CWA
by $5OO,OOO,OOO.
Economy Act
Hoidale said Shipstead did not
vote on the Economy Act. WHAT
is THE TRUTH?
Shipstead was confined to bed
when the vote was taken. He was
paired with Senator Kendrick. In
the next session Shipstead voted to
repeal it because it affected the
care of disabled veterans.
Emergency Banking Act
Hoidale said Shipstead voted
against the Emergency Banking
Act, and the banks doors were
opened the next morning. WHAT
IS THE TRUTH?
Shipstead voted to protect the
State Banks and the banks did not
open the next morning because he
and other Senators pointed out
that it did not protect the state
banks. After the bill passed, a
conference at the White House was
called and the President decided to
postpone the opening of the banks
until the bill could be amended to
protect state banks as Shipstead
and other Senators demanded.

their gardens for winter food, there
are no gardens. Quite literally
speaking, hundreds of thousands of
men. women and children on Ameri-
can farms have nothing to eat.
The disciples of rugged indivi-
dualism hardly can contend they
starve through fault of their own.
And I hope 1 shall not hear, for a
twelve-month, at any rate, some big
shot in his mahogany office saying,
We'll, the farmer is pretty we'll of,
after all. At least, he can eat"
For the farmer isn't eating this
year, either. In many instances
the small supply of milk, butter and
eggs is his only revenue. So he
sells them while his own children
go without.
But one tremendous event has
happened. The drought has put the
government into relief work in a
really big way. And you won't hear
so much fuSsing about it from any,
one who has seen the devastated
regions.
I'm sure I can't imagine who
could take care of these unfortu-
nate people except Uncle Sam. His
is the only organization large
enough to cope with the situation.
So for once there will be few COM
plants when he takes from those

at IL or even touch IL.
There was the dearest wish Of her
life fulfilled. a novel actually writ

was done. she suddenly felt that no
body ever would buy IL.
Finally. az midnight. she nerved
herself 70 pick the volume up. And
from then until dawn, when she
finished the last word. she laughed
and cried by turns.
At the end: Why. I've written a

After that. everything hap

up and Mrs. Prichard ard her
younger daughter Margaret. who
also sold a series Of stories, came to
New York.
I brought two trunks with me,
Mrs. Prichard relates. "One con-

out on our great adventure"

Mrs. Prichard began writing after

is that she has been writing all her

CAFE FIRE SEEN

One man was taken into GUS
today and later released after
questioning by detectives and
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
inspectors today following a mys'
terious fire that swept the Tivoli
Cafe, 1900 block L st. N. w.,
causing damage of more than
$4,000.
Fire marshals declared the blaze
was of incendiary origin, pointing
out that papers soaked in alcohol
were found in the basement, on
the stairs and on the second
floor.
The fire was started in half a
dozen places simultaneously, fire
men said. Two alarms were
turned in and firemen fought the
blaze for more than an hour be-
fore it was brought under control.
Detectives learned that a man
was seen to run from the building
about half an hour before the fire
started. Neighbors also reported
they heard an explosion shortly
before the blaze started.
Detective Sergt. Frank Brass
was assigned to the case and
questioned four men in connec-
ton with the fire.

VICTORY FOR
!. M'LEOD
's. III
SteagaII Bill Is Described As
!: Compromise Forced BY
Growing Petition
By ROGER HAWTHORNE

Already forced by persistent
hammering of the Mcleod bank
relief bloc to propose legislation
providing relief for closed banks,
Administration leaders today are
expected to lose their second
fight.
The controversy will center on
passage of the Steagall bank de-
post insurance bill which con-
tains substantial relief for closed
banks. The measure is expected
to pass with Administration
Spokesmen in the awkward po-
sition of having to support it.
This will make a second VIC
tory for the Mcleod forces since
the measure concededly never
would have seen the light of day
had it not been for a rapidly
swelling petition calling for a
vote on the 100 per cent payoff
bill introduced by Representative
Clarence j. Mcleod (RO of Michi-
gan.
The Mcleod bloc is already
5ubilant at forcing the Steagall
bill out of committee and will be
even more so if the measure
passes today. ais$szt e
To Buy Bank Assets
The Steagall plan authorizes the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo-
ration to expand it's capital to
approximately 1000 million dol
lars. Half of this will be set
aside to guarantee bank deposits,
and the other half, 1000 million
dollars, will be used to purchase
frozen bank assets.
This will relieve Immediately
Impoverished bank depositors
