G. 0. P. DELEGATES
BLAME ROOSEVELT

By the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. June 8.-De-
nands that the Republicans quit
pussyfooting' in their attacks on
President Roosevelt rang in the ears
Of delegates to the grass roots con-
Nention today.
Chairman Harrison E. Spangler of
Iowa said a summary of suggestions
already submitted by delegates showed
they want to quit pussyfooting They
believe it is time to pin broken prom
ises Of the last campaign on the Presi-
dent of the United States.
When a man says he is going to
balance the budget and doesn't do it
and when man says he is going to
cut the Government pay roll and then
hires 10000 additional employees,
they believe it is time to fix the re-
sponsibility.'
Mention of candidates was taboo
among the delegates at the scene.
Mention of Herbert Hoover brought
from Spangler the comment that he
isn't in the conference; he doesn't live
IN this part Of the United States"
Evening star., 1935-06-08

The version which the most eminent
New Dealers here have is that Mr.
Cantor, by this time, realized he had
bear by the tail He handed the
tail over TO a commercial attache in
Rome, who became greatly interested
in the proposition and apparently
made some broad promises to Mr..
MuSsoliniS men. The American AM
bassador in Rome became interested.
took the matter up with the State
Department here.
Up to this time. apparently no
one had thought OF GSking Holly
rood Thdt II thought about the
idea. The State Department looked
into that angie. found the morie
industry not only cold TO the prop
OSitlon but tro-eH stiff against 1t.
The morie mogulS did not lrdnt
any OF Mr.. MuSSolinlS actors and
sad so.
But the movement had been taken
so far in Rome by this time that no
one dared to tell Mr.. MuSSolini out
right about the situation The promises
of the commercial attache could not
possibly be fulfilled. so authorities here
decided the shortest way out of the
situation would be to recall him. This
was done. and he was given perma-
nent leave of absence without pay
But still it was necessary to do some
thing about Mr.. MuSsolini'S actors.
A substitute plan was worked out so
that a few of them may come over
here on tour and be given keys to
the cities. but no jobs.
Westerner Urged for G. o. p.
What Mr.. Hoover has been whis-
perlng into the ears of those Repub-
lican leaders on his latest transcon-
tinental journey is substantially this:
The merit Republican preSideu-
tidi candidate should come from
the Middle West. There IS uhere
the hopes Of Republican success
must center. The candidate must
be a sound money man.
This cancels whatever previous no
ton Mr. Hoover may have entertained
that an fastener of the type of
Ogden Mills should be the choice.
Indeed, there is good reason to believe
that those who got the idea that Mr..
Hoover intended to back Mills mis-
interpreted Mr.. Hoover's position.
He has told friends lately that he
never had any idea that Mills could
or should be nominated.
Evening star., 1935-06-08

The most influential Republican
authorities agree with Mr.. Hoover
this time. The names they are talk
ing over are we'll known: Frank Knox,
the Chicago publisher; Senator Van
denburg of Michigan, Gov Landon Of
Kansas and Senator Dickinson Of
Iowa. No others.
You 1riH shortly begin to hear
more about DicktnSon's chances.
The leaders hare apparently de-
cided to talk him up to see rhdt
the popular reaction WtH be among
party men.
He has a good record of opposition
to the New Deal. being one of the few
Republicans who originally voted
against N. R. A. In fact. he has
opposed just about everything the
New Deal has stood for. The party
mogulsa apparently believe the politi-
cal situation now is getting around
to the point where a relentless an
tagonist should be given the nomina-
ton in preference to any one who has
approved some New Deal steps.
Crack down Tactics Fail.
Gen. Johnson dashed into an ele-
vator in the National Press Building
the other day and barked:
Take me up to the thirteenth
floor right dlDdy tUithout any stops.

The elevator girl looked at him,
failed to recognize him. shook her
head and said she was sorry but that

would have to take a slow ride up like
all the privates. You can imagine
how this affected the general His
voice rang through the building,
shaking the beams. He demanded that

called the starter, but he took one
look at the irate general. recognized

The girl stood her ground, let the

San Miguel, 78-year- old railroad mag

sociated Press learned that the de-

Despite the secrecy thrown around
the case it also was learned that
police arrested two men who they
claim had papers in their possession

nap gang.
Dirty and unshaven. the financier
was freed only three blocks from his
home
He said he believed he was held on
a farm about 20 miles from Havana
and that his captors treated him
roughly.
Earlier the associates of the kid
naped man were baked completely by
a police blockade which prevented
payment of the ransom.

business man, who was taken to Camp
Columbia by secret police after he
went to police headquarters to obtain

Be sure the way is clear before you
drive in reverse. Look where you
back-and back where you look.
This is especially necessary when
backing out of an alley or driveways.
Children are frequent victims in back
ing out of home garages. The little
tots on their shooters or roller skates
may not know your plans. In the
excitement of play they forget about
caution.
Youthful pedestrians, however, are
not the only victims. Many motorists,
too, fail to notice that the car ahead
is backing. Some time ago a truck
drivers helper, whose duties included
watching the rear when backing, was
himself caught and crushed when his
driver backed into loading station.
And, of course, there are a great
many cases where drivers miSjudge
distance in turning on narrow roads.
Many parking accidents are caused
when the car is in reverse, also.
In backing out of a blind alley
make it a rule to stop just before
going over the sidewalk and then
sound your horn.
