Enflationists Open Drive For Doubtful Votes
u. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WANTS BUSINESS TO WORK OUT
ITS OWN SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN
Calls on Government To
Cut Expenses, Abandon
Efforts To Control Pro-
duction

WASHINGTON, May 1. (UP)
The U s. Chamber of Commerce,
with only one dissenting vote,
late yesterday adopted resolutions
calling on the government to re-
duce expenditures, stop trying to
control production, and let bust
ness work out its own social Sc
curity program.
The resolutions were the last
business of the anti-New Deal
convention. After their adoption
the chambers board of directors
reelected Harper Sibley presi-
dent for another year.
Just before the action on res
olutions the chamber heard an
address by Fitzgerald Hall, presi-
dent of the Nashville, Chattanoo-
ga and st. Louis railway, con-
demning politicians as class
and a talk by Roger D Lapham,
president of the American-Ha-
waiian Steamship company, who
charged that west coast seamen's
organizations are seeking to con-
trol transportation labor in this
country.
The final days session, like
those preceding, saw criticism of
New Deal policies by a chamber
spokesman and defense by an
administration official.
Fred W. Sargent, president of
the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad, said The national policy
of permitting agricultural i'm
ports is holding back recovery
for the U. S. farmer. A few min
utes later Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, sponsor Of the recipro-
cal trade program aimed at low
ering world tariff restrictions,
praised it as the only alternative
to war.
Last evening the chamber held
it's annual dinner. President Will
liam L. Ransom of the American
Bar association, urged that men,
bers of all political faiths oppose
all extensions and aggressions of
arbitrary power" in the national
government.
The resolutions were in line
with the anti-administration senti-
ment evident since the definite
break with President Roosevelt
last year. One appealed for aid
from other business organizations
and the government in a projected
study of the possibilities of re-
employment by private enterprise.
Edwin L. Rickert, secretary of
the Connersville, Ind, Chamber
of Commerce, voted "no" on the
social security resolution. His
was the only voice raised in OPP
position to any proposal. He said
afterward he thought parts of the
resolution too "reactionary."

GUARDS WATCH
HARRY WEISS
Tries To Hang Self With
Tie; New Arrest Made
in Wendell Case

NEW YORK, May 1.-(UP)-
Harry Weiss, the taxicab driver
who lived in fear of death by bull
let's because of his part in the
kidnapping of Paul H. Wendell,
tried to kill himself yesterday with
a necktie.
Guards, hurrying down the cor
ridor of Brooklyn City prison, got
to him before he could hang HIM
self. They Immediately clapped
handouts on him and posted a
guard outside the cell, with in
structions not to take his eyes Oft
Weiss.
Weiss came covering back from
Ohio two days ago to surrender
and confess his part in the fan
tastic kidnapping of Wendell, dis

make sure that Weiss stayed away
from harm. his bail was fixed at
S5O,OOO-a stupendous sum for a
man who had nothing except the
$40 expense money, he received
for his part in the Wendell affair;
He was a nervous, frightened
man when he was placed in his
cell Wednesday. Yesterday ne
sought surcease from it all by TAX
ing off his necktie and fashloning
a moose.
Only the vigilance of guards
prevented Weiss from writing an
other blood-spattered chapter 70
the Lindbergh crime. After the
moose was taken from around his
neck, officials examined Weiss.
"He's all right now" they said.
New York authorities moved to
Trenton yesterday to make their
latest arrest in the Wendell affair.
Out of bed they hauled a man
who takes bets on baseball games
and the races and put him in jail
to Join the odd assortment of per-
sons-arrested and missing-who
allegedly are involved in the alb

Translated into every day lang

is THIS A WISE PRACTCEe

The Bonners Ferry papers carried an
announcement last week to the effect
that an innovation would be started III
the Boomers Ferry schools this year. Il
is that the entire freshman class will be
given course in physical develop
ment. This. we believe, will prove a
wise practice. In spite of the growing
popularity Of high school athletics, the
criticism is sometimes heard that foot
ball, basketball and similar sports give
systematic athletic training only to a
comparatively few of the total number
of students. The well-meaning critics
suggest that the athletic program ought
to include classes in physical Develop
ment for all the pupils. The benefits
of corrective gymnastics could thereby
be given to all students who may be
in need of it.
1t is interesting to note that some of
the nationally known sports writer's, IN
their articles descriptive Of the Olympic
games at Berlin, advanced the thought
that if America is to continue a promi-
nent contender in those games it will
have to take up in a larger way the
physical development of the on-coming
generations, and do it by a mass
method.

Visiting Here From New Mexico

John c. Curtis drove into Libby Sum
day night to spend part of two weeks
vacation here with his parents, Mr..

year Curtis has been stationed at Santa
Fe, NJ M. as representative OF the
Associated Press, part of the time his
duties with the big news gathering as
ISOLATION having called him to Albu-
oueroue. "John," as he is known to
many friends here, says he is enjoying
greatly the work of his chosen profess
sion and finds much of interest in New
Mexico. There, he says, one comes in
contact with the life and customs OF
two nationalities, the American and
the Spanish or Mexican. The popula-
ton is largely composed of descend
ants of the Spaniards who originally
settled Mexico and that part of the
United States. Spanish is still talked
fully as much as English and interpre-
tiers are very much in use.
New Mexico takes its politics serious
ly, says Curtis, and while elsewhere
over the nation there is now lull In
the political battle in New Mexico a
strenuous campaign is already under
way. Asked as to what he thought the
outcome would be this fall, Curtis re
piled that he believed the state would

EXPECT CONTRACTS
WILL BE LET SOON

That the 1869 program of highway
construction by the bureau of public
roads will be carried out through this

good news given out the first of the
week. The announcement was made in
Libby by r. A. Gowan, resident engi-
neer of the B. P. r.
I have been notified that the 81

ally planned said Mr. Gowan. The
Libby creek bridge has been okehed
and | understand the contractor, L. B.
Lockwood of Great Falls, will have his
crews to work on that project by fife
first of next week. This will be a steel
and concrete structure with hundred
and forty foot span. Mr.. Lockwood
was in Libby Monday getting things
lined up for the starting of work. AS
far as the engineering work is con-
cerned, we have everything ready for
the letting Of a contract on the four
miles west Of Libby. While / have
nothing definite as to that I would
presume that bids will be advertised
for that project soon
In response to further questions, Mr..
Gowan said that with the letting Of the
4-mile project west of Libby, there
would be left only one other B. P. r.
project between Kalispell and Troy,
the nine and half miles between
Miller creek and Elk hill The state

Lions Will Meet Sunday
To Build Fountain

President J A. Krall makes an
nouncement to Libby Lions that a call
has gone forth to all of the clan to
meet at the Kootenai Falls campsite
next Sunday at o'clock, for the cree
ton of a fountain at that popular gath
erlng place. I should like every Lion
to be there, said Mr.. Krall. Rock
and other material will be on hand and
It is hoped to complete the fountain at
that time
The Lionesses are also invited, said
Mr.. Krall, and it is hoped to make a
picnic affair of it. Lunch should be
brought and will be eaten at noon.
This will be the second highway
fountain to be erected in these parts by
Libby Lions. The first one at Elk Hill
has attracted lot of favorable COM
ment and has. been real convenience
to the travelling public. 1t is believed
the one at Kootenai Falls will prove to
be even more popular and a greater
stopping place than has the one at Elk
Hill. A large number of enthusiastic
Lions will undoubtedly be present for
the Sunday work.
A few Of the Lions gathered at the
campsite Monday evening for cleanup
work. The number would have been
larger but misunderstanding arose
because Of the rainy day. Some of the
Lions concluded that the meeting had
been postponed. However, nine Lions
and one non-member worker and few
Lonesses gathered at the site and had
lunch and then did lot Of good work
cleaning up the area and putting it in
shlpshape condition Refuse was raked
up and cleared away and the little
stream Of cold water that comes tumbl-
ing down from the mountainside was
cleared of brush and down timber.
