With approval by the F. H. A., the
associations are authorized to buy and

ROOSEVELT STORY
HIT BY GOV. NICE |
Tells U. S. Minister in Costa
Rica Printed Attack "0ut.

BY the Associated Press.

bt Nt.f AooOIsuItu EIros.
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, May as
Publication of a statement attributed
to Gov Harry w. Nice Of Maryland
In Costa Rican newspapers yesterday,
which quoted him as attacking the
Roosevelt administration, caused the
Governor to express deep regret to
American Minister Leo r. Sack.
Gov. Nice, who was spending the
week end in Costa Rica while on a
Caribbean cruise, was reported by the
press to have said: "A second Roose-
welt administration will bring the
United States to ruin and bankruptcy"
Minister Sack Immediately wrote
the Governor asserting his purported
statement was "inexcusable" and in
poor taste" When he received Sacks
protest, the Maryland Official called at
the American Legation and declared
he was outraged" at publication of
the statement.
He asserted it was not intended in
any way TO reflect upon President
Roosevelt, whom he said he regarded
as a gentleman of the highest char
acter"
Publication conveyed different i'm
preston from what I intended" said
Gov. Nice.
Minister Sack. In his letter criti-
cizing the Governor, said:
II appreciate that as a Republican
you regard it your duty to attack
President Roosevelt at any time and
In any place, but as United States
Minister to Costa Rica resent the
use Of this, foreign country, as
your sounding board.
1T seems that partisanship should
cease at the Smile limit, and that
1t is very bad taste for even the most
irresponsible American to assail the
President Of the United States in q
foreign country.
Such an attack Is even less ex-
cusable and In poorer taste when
made by the Governor Of the great
State Of Maryland"

needy members from public relief
rolls and support them itself, j.
Reuben Clark, first counselor In the
; first presidency of the Latter Day
Saints Church and former Ambas-
sador to Mexico, announced last night.
1 Our aim is by October to accu-
! nulate enough food, shelter and cloth
, ing to care for those who cannot care
, for themselves" Clark stated at a
Mormon church here
THE plan includes provision for
, those who have nothing to do, to do
something useful in return for that
, which they get' he said. The pres
ident Of the church feels 1t is time
, we got back to first principles and
cared for our own"
Clark said he expected no difficulty
. In carrying out the work IL the 750 900
Mormons in the United States abide
by the church teachings" He pre-
dicted 1t would be of spiritual benefit
to all members.
Clark said he was not Critical" Of
Government relief but said any mis-
/. takes in public relief administration
were due to "faraway management I"
: Man may have no compunction
: In taking aid from the Government" !"
he said, but If he has to take it
from his brother or neighbor it prob
ably will be a very different picture /"
Clark said each Mormon will be
expected to contribute the cost Of
two meals in the monthly fast day,
and the tithes rule, contribution of
one-tenth of members income, will
be enforced.
The procedure during the Summer,
Clark added, would be to take Nor
mons of home relief first and then
later to take the others OF work relief
Il believe a million dollars q year
will take care Of the task" he said,
land as for the cost, 1t will cost
us only Is per cent of what 1t costs
the Government to care for these
needy because ours will be q service
of love and none of these persons
doing the work will be paid"
- Agencies for carrying on the work
are already functioning in the church,
he explained. Chiefs in each ward
will be the bishop and his two coun-
'silors. The districts subdivisions of
wards. will be secured by teachers
to determine the needy.
The Women's Relief Society will
continue its work both in aiding the
needy and soliciting aid.
THE male population of the church
including the elders and priests, will
have as their duty the obligation to
zee that no one suffers" Clark said
