SMITHS ACTION
is BIG PUZZLE
Refusal of Roosevelt Bid
Brings Confused
Interpretation.
BV United Press

By Jnited Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Official
Washington was puzzled today by
refusal of Alfred E. Smith to accept
the hospitality of the White House.
Political Interpretation of Mr.
Smiths refusal of Mrs. Roosevelt's
invitation to spend the night of
Jan. Is as the Roosevelts' guest was
confused. White House invitations
seldom are declined.
Republicans saw it as indicating
the happy warrior" would pitch his
tent in the Republican camp in the
1886 presidential battle. Some
Democrats saw it as of little political
significance.
Liberty League Speaker
Mr.. Smith is coming to Washing
ton to speak at an American Liberty
League meeting Jan. Is. The league
has been consistently hostile to the
Roosevelt administration, and the
meeting is expected to develop addi-
tional fireworks.
The former New York Governor
has been noncommital on his speech.
Earlier in the Administration he was
mildly critical of the New Deal. He
has given no public indication of a
change in his attitude.
The White House declined to
comment on the Smith invitation. 1t
was learned that Mrs. Roosevelt
sent it several weeks ago, when she
learned he was coming to Washing
ton. Mr.. Smith revealed Saturday
that he would not accept, saying he
had a previous engagement.
Political Leaders Wary
Political leaders generally were
wary of comment, preferring to
await Mr.. Smiths Liberty League
speech before placing themselves on
record. Speaker Joseph w. Byrns
had nothing to say" Senator Hugo
Black Cd, AlaD was mot comment
ing" Senator William H. King Cd,
Utah)' said he believed Mr.. Smith
will remain loyal to the party.

The program follows:

must realize that the era of I'M

resources has ended forever.
2. Search for a positive solution
for the problem of agricultural over

desirable industrial uses for farm
products. Congress has made a step
in the right direction by appropriate
