ROBINSON M0URNS
LOSS Of SMITH AID.
Arkansan UphoIds Right to
Take WaIk-DepIores
Resentment.
BY fhe Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, October 13.-
United States Senator Joseph T. Rob-
inson said last night Alfred e. Smith
has the right to take walk" but
that all complain of is that he
grows resentful when his old associates
refuse to follow or accompany him in
his wanderings."
The Arkansas Senator, in an ad-
dress prepared for Democratic rally,
said the former New York Governor
had the right "to take a walk even
though the way be devious and lead
along darkened paths overhung with
cypress boughs."
Robinson was Smiths running mate
On the national Democratic ticket in
1928.
Compensated for Loss.
1--WE part company reluctantly with.
such men and leaders as Alfred E.
Smith," Robinson stated.
But we are compensated for the
loss of their support by the help OF
independent voters, outnumbering dis
affected Democrats 100 to l."
Answering criticisms of the Roose-
welt administration, Robinson said it
was recognized that mistakes in hasty
enactment of laws and administration
plans were inevitable.
I'VE demonstrated, however, readi-
ness and desire to correct mistakes
when disclosed, whereas under the
old deal the policy was to conceal
them and in instances falsely to deny
that mistakes had been made" he
asserted.
The Senator, who was chairman of
the Democratic Convention in Phila-
delphia last June, said, You hear talk
now Of dictatorial powers granted to
the President Republican Senators
and Representatives in Congress voted
to confer on the Chief Executive un-
usual powers, and Mr.. Landon was out
standing among all the Governors In
advocacy Of giving to the President
the authority which in this campaign
he Is prompted to assail."
Advocates Cash Benefits.
"Gov. Landon," he said, "in one
breath declares for the immediate bal
ancing of the budget and in the next
insists that it will be necessary to con-
tinue the expenditures that keep the
budget out of balance. He advo-
Gates form Of cash benefits to farm
erS which will cost annually approxi-
mately four times the amount con-
templated by the administration plan"
Referring to a statement by Col
Frank Knox, the Republican vice presi-
dental nominee. that no life insurance
policy and no savings account is safe,
Robinson said: Col. Knox seeks to
cause panic because there is in his
brain some mysterious and unidentified
purpose on the part of the administra-
tion to encourage or promote that kind
Of expansion or imitation which will
undermine values. 1t Is respectfully
submitted that Col. Knox, like his run
ming mate, Is attempting to create
straw men in order to make a show of
bravery in fighting them.
His effort to start prediction
panic failed because it was without
justification and because life insurance
policies and savings deposits. are among
the best securities in which investments
may be made"

Mismanagement Alone
Criticized in Relief Spending.
No one objects to the money
spent II it goes to those actually in
need. But I do condemn the mis-
management which keeps the un-
employed at subsistence wages
while providing good salaries for
the favored few. 1t is not ques-
ton of how much the unemployed
are getting; it is question of how
much their political exploiters are
taking. What is the proper meth
cd for handling relief? 1t is not an
easy problem. But 1t Is a problem
which can-and must-be solved.
Surely the courage and common
sense that has built America will
not surrender before the challenge
Of this task.
As 7 have said, the first thing
Is to get rid of waste, extrava-
gence and politics in the ad-
ministration of relief. We must
have a common sense, workable
solution. It must be designed for
those who want job, but cannot
get one; not for those who would
not take job at any price. We
must have a program that will
take care of all who are genuinely
In need, not one designed for
political henchmen and ward
heelers.
The first step in building an
Intelligent system for handling re-
lief is to find out the facts. That
the Republican party proposes to
do.

The first of these conditions Is

A direct financial responsibility is
the best guarantee we can have
that the taxpayers money will not

RESULTS OF AAA LIVE ON

The Agricultural Adjustment Act directly effect ing three million farmers and indirectly effect ing the millions who make up the consuming public, has been declared invalid by the Supreme Court. It is, say the venerable gentlemen of the highest tribunal, in violation of State rights No one of course questions the knowledge the wisdom of the learned jurists, though the puzzle might naturally present itself in the baffled mind of the average ayman, how Congress composed ninety six per cent of lawyers, pass a law for the common good, only to have it declared unconstitu- tional by six men, three holding in its favor
 But aside from the legal aspects the AAA decision has great bearing The farmers of this nation have been benefited hundreds of thousands of them saved from bankruptcy and ruin as the result of the dollars in aiding them toward rehabilitation They have seen their produce bring in hard cash; they have wheat shoot from 25 cents bushel at the height of the Hoover debace to near the dollar mark, cotton, livestock and other farm products soar on similar scale. They have known actual recovery, and they like it. They will not slide back into the slough of despondency without struggle
 That is the of the AAA decision. The voice of three million farmers and affected consumers will be heard. Already Congress Democrats and Repub- hcans alike, is considering substitute legislation Neither the Congress the people of this country have any idea of sliding backward that recovery is under way. The court may rule but the voice of the people will be heard. The political advantage of course, lies with the party who gets there first with the best substitute

 Edward Krause alleged slayer of five men in Southeast Alaska, posed as Miller, Moe and Hartman in ad- dition to the name by which he is most generally known here, judging from reports which are constantly being received by Federal authori- ties. Krause is said to have referred to his many names in spirit of jocularity, when in conversation with his friends, but assumed serious at titude when he passed as someone other than "Krause" among strang- CTS
 A local man said that he recalled an incident that took place in To- cal saloon four years ago, when Krause, Dr. Martin Damourette, and himself were having drink. Damou- rette introduced Krause, the Juneau man says, and declared: Hes got bunch of names; that fellow doesn [ even know his own name, he uses so many others" The local man said Krause aughed at Damourette's comment
 Outside papers said Krause's case was without parallel since the Will liam Gohl murder case in Seattle. Like Krause, Gohl was a physically perfect man of great strength, and of pleasing personality He used what later became known as the murder launch in his depredations in which possibly dozen men were killed.
 Krause was again identified as the man who took William Christie from Treadwell on a fake subpoena, by Mrs. Ben Schramm of Douglas, sis- ter of Mrs. Christie, yesterday after noon at the U. s. jail. Mrs. Schramm peeped through one of the many es- pionage chinks cut into the outer wall of the steel-tank, and declared Krause to be the man she saw with Christie. T met Billy and that man near the baseball grounds, she said. Billie told me he was going to Ju- neau as witness in a lawsuit. Billie pointed to Krause and said This man has just served a subpoena on me"
 Although Krause admits he took Christie from Treadwell, he has steadfaStly insisted he did so at the instigation of another man.
