NEW DEAL ON
TRIAL BEFORE
REPUBLICANS
CONTINUED On Page A.

OAKLAND, Calf, Oct. Wp)-
The New Deal went on trial today
before judge and jury of young
Republicans assembled from eleven
western states to "stock the western
political chuck wagon with new
supplies" for a successful 1885 CAM
paign.
The charge against the Roosevelt
administration was persistent in
sistence on experimentation at u
cost which clearly leads to bank
Iuptcy."
Eloquent orators OF the c.. o. p.
represented the prosecution, scoring
the present national administration
for what the speakers chose TO call
its "squandermania.
The last speaker for the prosecu-
iton will be Herbert Hoover, titular
head of the party. The former
President, appearing for the first
time before convention of his
party since he left the White House.
will address the gathering at 1880
D. m. The speech will be broadcast.
In it he is expected to continue
the series of indictments of Roose-
velt policies, particularly those or
a financial nature, which led him
to break his silence this year after
two years of virtual retirement.
A committee "the indictment OF
the New Deal committee will then
sum up the arguments against the
New Deal delivered by such older
leaders as Hoover, Governor Frank
T.. Merriam of California, National
Committeeman Mark Requa and
Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Jr. and
by the junior leaders-Sheriff Hal
bert of Porterville. Calf, Edward
Shattuck of Los Angeles. Fred A.
Seaton Of Kansas, Dolly Madison
Of New Jersey.
The verdict win be delivered IN
the closing sessions OF the three
day convention Sunday.
1t was to be expected that the
Jury will find the New Deal guilty
as charged on all counts"

ian forces believed engaged in bat
tie with Italian troops near Aduwa,
telegraphed his emperor today the
details of heavy fighting north of
the town of Adigrat, which fell to
the Italians yesterday.
He said simply that many" had
been killed. Emperor Halle Selas-

that casualties woula. number sew
eral hundred. The veteran Ethiop-
ian commander specified that the
dead included an officer and three
non-commissioned officers of Italy's
Eritrean forces, but said no Eth
opian officers had died. The Eth
lopian forces captured two Italian
machine guns.

time about kidnapping you. But we
want to give you a chance. Pay us
$4,000 and you will be in no dan
ger. If you don't you will be in
trouble plenty

telephone calls and a spokesman at
his home arranged for the black
