RUMOR LINKS
SMITH vi I H
1885 R A t

WASHINGTON, April %. W.p)--.
Word has reached the capital that
some of the eastern banking and
brokerage fraternity would like to
see Alfred E. Smith oppose Frank
lin D. Roosevelt for president next
year
1t probably would make no diff
ference to anti-R Roosevelt finan-
ciers whether Smith stopped the
new DEAL in the Democratic ma
tional convention or in the Novem-
Der election Wall Street has many
counts against the administration.
Among these are.
l. Substitution of expensive work
relief for the cheap dole.
2. New DEAL labor policies as
developed SO far and projected.
8. The Roosevelt effort to abolish
public utility holding companies
and the possibility that it may lead
finally to a compromise tax on
utility holding company income.
That, in turn, might lead to special
taxation of all holding company
incorAe
4. The Eccles bill to create
central or political bank on the
foundation of the federal reserve
system. That would take from pri-
yate banks control of the credit In
this country.
Practical politicians do not cons
slider the Smith-for- president idea
feasible nor even remotely likely.
A realignment of political parties
such as a Roosevelt-Smith contest
would imply is more probable in
1910 than in 1886.

NEW YORK. April %. U.p =
Harold L. Ickes, public works ad-
ministrator, speaking before the
annual Associated Press luncheon
today, attacked Sen. Huey P.
Longs share the wealth plan as
"despicable beyond my powers of
description"
Ickes, a former newspaperman,
renewed his outspoken criticism OF
the Louisiana senator, as Long, in
Washington, was threatening to
appear on the floor of the senate
and blast back his ears"
Ickes did not mention Long by
name, but pointedly maintained
his verbal barrage against the new
deaP' rebel by asserting. Il despise
the demagogue who hurls his voice
through the pure air to advocate
false doctrines, the acceptance of
which by a majority of the peo-
pie would destroy this America I
love.
II have nothing but contempt for
the man of crooked intelligence"
he said, who deliberately sets out
to fool the under privileged, who,
during these last few years, have
been having an especially tragic
time of it by holding out to them
the hope that as a result of some
fantastic share the wealth"
scheme every man, woman and
child is to have thrust into his
hands the sum of $1,000, which is
to come from God knows where.
ITO inspire hopes that can never
be realized in those who dwell in
physical misery and mental des-
pair, is a base and loathsome thing.
1t is despicable beyond my powers
of description"
Ickes referred-but not by name
to DR.. F. E. Townsend, author of
an old age pension plan, as an
Impractical visionary who
dreams an effervescent dream of
an unrealizable Utopia, the dwell
ers wherein, upon attaining the
age of go are to be paid in spot
cash, again from what source God
only knows, the sum of 5000 a
month.

ROBLES CASE
THOUGHT NEAR

TUCSON, Ariz., April %. WP)-
The governments c. men today
were reported to be nearing So
luton to the year-old kidnapping OF
7-year-old June Robles-the only
kidnap case that so far has baffled
the department of justice.
Two federal agents who have
been working on the case for
months, will report their findings
to a federal grand jury, called to
meet on April 90, it was learned,
but the nature of the evidence
they are to present was not dis
closed.
Investigation of the abduction of
the girl, who was found in a shall
low torture grave" on the out
skirts of the city 10 days after she
disappeared, resulted in only one
arrest thus far-that of Oscar Rob-
son, schoolmate of Fernando Rob-
les, the girls father. Robson is
under bond.
The Robles child, granddaughter
of a wealthy Arizona cattleman
was kidnapped April 25, 1884, while
walking home from school.

RADIO PRIEST"
BY
HIS SUPERIOR

DETROIT, April %. UP)-The
radio crusade of Father Charles E.
Coughlin today had received the
full support of Bishop Michael j.
Gallagher, head of the Detroit
Catholic Diocese and Coughlin's
immediate superior.
Bishop Gallagher occupied the
time usually devoted to Father
Coughlin's Sunday address with a
stirring defense of the priests ac-
tions given, he said, in answer to
many letters and questions regard
ing Father Coughlin's position in
the church.
Il pronounce Father Coughlin
sound in doctrine, able in his ap-
plication and Interpretation" the
bishop said. Freely give him my
imprimatur' on his written word
and approval on the spoken word.
Both may be circulated without OBJ
lection throughout the land"
Father Coughlin breaches the
doctrine laid down for all priests
and bishops to preach by the Popes
Leo XIII and Plus XI" Bishop
Gallagher said, under my juris-
diction he breaches the just codes
of the old law and its command
ments.
It am enthusiastically responsible
for Father Coughlin, and until q
lawful superior rules otherwise, I
stand steadfastly behind him en-
couraging him to do the will of
God as he sees it and as / see it,"
Some letters, the bishop said,
show an attitude of fear lest the
Catholic church be made respon-
sible for results of Father Cough
Inns broadcasts.
For myself I have no such fear.
fear no persecution which will re-
suit from any priests preaching of
social justice. What I do fear" BIZ
shop Gallagher said, lis the just
persecution which results when
Gods laws are flouted and when
the priests fail to speak, while they
tolerate every wrong in the world
without raising their voices in pro-
test"
Father Coughlin, the bishop said,
represents the social and economic
doctrines of Christianity. In his
addresses, however, he does not
represent the American hierarchy.
HE represents but one member
of the hierarchy, myself and he
represents the Catholic church in
that he is an authorized priest. His
Interpretation of papal documents
are his own. He is not entering pol
itics. The right to correct an evil is
neither Republican nor Demo-
cratic.
