 Confirms Ne1u Deal
Admissions of the Opposition Dspel All Doubt as to
 Substantial Virtue of Roosevelt Plan

Chicago, Aug 27-"If there were any doubt of the substantial vir- tue of the Roosevelt program, 1t would be dispelled by the admis- sions of the opposition" said Sem ator Joseph c. O'Mahoney, of Wy oming, in an address in Chicago. There Is no important critic of the new deal who does not begin his attack with qualifying words intended as asurance that he does not propose to undo what has actually been accomplished.
 Let me prove this by quoting from the official declaration of the republican national committee at Chicago, June Sth. Bear in mind this committee was chosen by the convention that nominated MT Hoover. It is not representative of men and women who in the past made up the republican party. It is representative only of the lead ership repudiated in 1882. It re- solved our nation is beset with problems of infinite complexity- | the problems of recovery Of course, but whose were the policies that allowed these problems to de-

 Other speakers at the dedication were President Charles A. Durbin, president of the Platts Mills Com munity association, Lewis J. Hart of the Platt Brothers Company and Howard H. Bristol Company, J. A. H. Peterson was master of ceremonies.
 Mayor Hayes congratulated the people of the Platts Mills district on their fine civi spirit. City En- gineer Robert A. Cairns recounted the history of bridges in the sec ton. In the early days, he said people crossed the river by means of ford above Nichols falls. Then wooden bridges were built bu; they were frequently carried away by ice jams in the winter time. Ii was not until 1850 that a covered wooden bridge, with flood resistant piers designed by Alfred Platt noted mechanic, inventor and mil wright, was erected. The piers withstood floods for fifty years.
 It was then replaced by the bridge which was recently demol- ished to make way for the present new structure. City Engineer Cairn, said that the present bridge is by far the strongest steel bridge ever erected in the city of Water. bury. He paid tribute to the SUI. | pervision of Herbert Smith the resident engineer, who wa. largely responsible for the speed with which the work was com | pleted.

Is that the tide will turn.
NRA and AAA are admittedly
facing crises, and the expectation
that NRA will limit its activities
to major industries is an added
debating factor. Many NRA en-
ployes probably will get jobs with
the code authorities, which will
be permanent enterprises, in
many instances, but they will be
financed by the industries whose
destinies they control.
Attacks on both NRA and AAA
are likely to be more serious than
ever in the past. The Darrow re-
port will probably be the first of
the coming crack-downs on NRA,
but there will be others.
