Political Bank Panic"
The former President blamed the
1888 bank panic on hysteria induced
among bank depositors by the incom-

most political and most unnecessary
bank panic in all our history"
He called the New Deal unemploy-

Wit in HOOUer's
Talks Is Natural,
Says Ben Allen
Aide Scouts Theory of
Change as Speeches
Display HumOr.
By the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, December 1.-THE hui
morous remarks that have studded
Herbert Hoover's recent address come
naturally to the former President, his
friend and travelling companion, Ben
S. Allen, said
"All this talk about "the new Hoover
Is wrong" he commented before leav-
ing with the Republican leader for
Chicago last night. What you are
seeing now is the natural Hoover.
Ever since I've known him he has ex-
hibited a humorous streak, usually
ending his letters with witty quip"
In 1882, Allen said, Hoover was grave
and serious because his Office weighed
on him heavily, but now he's like an
athlete hitting his stride"
Reminiscing on some of his chiefs"
humor, Allen related that little girl
approached the former President and
asked for his autograph. Hoover
signed his name six times, explaining,
you might want to do a little auto
graph trading and I understand it
takes five Hoovers to get one Babe
Ruth"
Allen, former newspaperman, first
became acquainted with Hoover in
1910 and later was his aide in Belgian
relief work.

Political leaders commented with

biting sarcasm in the speech which
caused frequent interruptions of ap-
plause and laughter.
Introduced as the most distin-

launched into direct attack on the
Roosevelt administration.
He asserted that under the New
Deal, vast political bureaucracy has
developed.

Hoover said the cost of relief in
the last year of his stewardship, to
Federal, State, county, city and pri-
vate agencies was about 81, 100 ,000,-
900. The Federal overhead, he said,
was not more than $2500o0 and the

For the year ended last October the

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. December
i7.-An eager crew Of shipbuilders
here awaited today the word that will
start work on construction of a new
superliner for the United States Lines.
A brief announcement from George
A. Parker, secretary to President

Shipbuilding g. Dry Dock Co., last
night said a contract for the ship had
been signed.
He added that $500 men could be
employed for 2S months, with the job
due to start almost Immediately.
Parker said the vessel would cost
s11 100000 to construct. The Govern
menU was expected to lend rs per cent
of the price.
First word of the plan to build super
ships for the North Atlantic run came
several days ago from President John
Chapman of the United States Lines.
He said his organization planned two
gigantic ships-faSter, bigger and more
modern than any now afloat or on
the ways. He said then that con-
struction might be divided between
Newport News and yards at Quincy.

Chapman forecast that the new

of a rule laid down by the national
convention for the guidance of the
committee, providing that only those
States which cast their electoral votes
in the previous presidential election for
the Republican nominee should be
allowed an additional three delegates
at large. Forty States had this dele
gate bonus at the 1882 convention.
Only six States, Pennsylvania, Della

shire and Vermont, voted for Herbert
Hoover in 1882.
Sticking scrupulously to the conven-
ton rule regarding this delegate bonus
to Republican States, the committee
call provides for a total delegate
strength in the convention Of 997.
This is 157 short of the 1854 delegates
who attended the national convention
of 1882. The Philippine Islands no

OHIO REPUBLICANS
PREDICT VICTORY
Convention Award Seen as
Factor in 1886
Election.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, December 17.-Ohio
Republicans, heartened by award Of
the 1886 national convention to Cleve-
land, predicted victory In next years
elections.
At the same time a struggle to re-
serve hotel rooms for next June fol-
lowed the partys decision to come
here.
Ed D. Schorr, Republican State
chairman, said "Ohio Republicans
never felt more confident of winning
fhan they do now The convention
will stimulate them to even greater
enthusiasm and have a major influ-
ence on Ohio's vote In the national
elections"
Ohio's delegation will be an unin-
structed group.
Plenty Of Space.
Republicans will have a $12,500.00C
building and more than 250.000 square
feet of floor space, if they need il
all, in Cleveland.
Public Hall, built by the city in
1922 and since enlarged by wings and
anneXes, stretches a full block along
East Sixth street in downton Cleve-
land.
The hall was enlarged several years
after Calvin Coolidge received the
1924 Republican nomination for Pres
ident there. Delegates could find nc
place in the hall then to get away
for a quiet conference, and they were
forced to use Central Armory, across
East Sixth street, and the Federal
Reserve Bank, two blocks away.
Criticism of this shortcoming led a
few years later to the construction OF
a north and south wing. Still later
an underground exposition hall was
added.
Seats $4,000 or More.
The main auditorium itself seats
10000 persons. A music hall. which
opens into the auditorium, seats 5000
more. If necessary, hundreds more
can be accommodated on the spacious
stage Of the auditorium.
Eight downtown hotels are within
10 blocks Of the hall. The Union
Terminal is only a short walk from
the building
The hall has an air-purifying sys-
TEN which is said to change the air in
the auditorium once a minute.

and the duty of issuing the call had
been placed by the last national con-
vention on the National Committee
and could not be delegated to another

by an overwhelming voice vote.
Democrats Meet January 8.
The Democratic National Commit
tee is to meet here January to
select the city for its national con-
vention and the date. 1t is expected
to follow the Republican convention.
Walter Brown of Ohio, Postmaster
General in the Hoover administration,
opposing the Phipps proposal, said
that he did not believe that the coun-
try would care what the Democrats
put in their platform; that they had
tossed their 1882 platform overheard
and could not be relied upon to carry
out their platform pledges.
Just before the National Committee
adjourned it adopted a resolution in
viting Democrats opposed to the Roose-
welt New Deal and believing in the
fundamentals of the Constitution to
join with the Republicans next year
and beat President Roosevelt for re-
election. The resolution, presented by
r. B. Creager Of Texas and seconded
by Mark L. Requa of California, said:
THE United States is facing as grave
crisis as has arisen in its history.
The crisis rises far above any question
of political parties, but it is only
through political action that the
menace can be fought. We appeal,
therefore, for the cooperation of all
Americans, not only in the coming
campaign and election, but in the hard
ordeal that will follow the election,
when the present condition of waste
and incompetence must be corrected.
Only thus can progress be resumed.
Only thus can liberty be preserved for
America and Americans.
we invite. therefore. and ask the
aid of all Americans, irrespective of
political affiliations, to join with us
in the accomplishment of this great
task. We appeal specifically to the
millions of constitutional Jeffersonian
Democrats for their aid We believe
that they can most effectively safe
guard their beliefs in American fun
damentals through such cooperative
action. We ask this aid and CO.

ton and in the campaign preceding it,
but also after the victory is won and

ing corrected and the Nation is being

Whitley said the police had delayed
eight hours before notifying the Fed
eral agents Sunday that Milne was re-
ported missing and that there was an
other 36-hour delay before the police
turned over two notes to the Federal
men.
One Of the notes was message left
by Milne Saturday for his brother,
Frederic, at the modest, midtown
Manhattan apartment they share.
The other, indicating the youth had
been kidnapped, was composed Of words

charged the police had no warrant.

Hamilton ana others argued that
this was no time for the National
Committee to attempt to upset funda-
mental law, laid down by the ma

the Roosevelt Democrats have given
the country a demonstration of
avoidance of fundamental laws of

A minority report, authorizing the
granting of the three additional dele
gates to the States, was brought in
by John Richardson, national COM

Richardson was the only member of
his subcommittee who supported the
minority report.
Three cities, Cleveland, Chicago
and Kansas City, Mo, made bids for
the honor of holding national con-
vention. Each offered to put up
S150,0OO to pay the expenses of the
convention.
On the first ballot, however, Cleve-
land won, with 54 votes to SO for
Chicago and 6 for Kansas City. A
secret ballot was taken. Usually it
has been the practice to call the roll
IN open meeting.
A threatened row IN the committee
over the selection of a new woman
vice chairman to succeed Mrs. Alvin
T. Hert of Kentucky, who had re-
signed as the national committee
woman from her State, was avoided
