KNOX ASSAILS
SQUANDER|NG
BY 'NEWDEAL'

H E l. ENA, Mont, Sept. Is
QN.S)-Col. Frank Knox, Repub-
lican vice presidential nominee,
continued his campaign tour to the
Pacific Coast today after bitterly
assailing the Roosevelt administra-
TONS fiscal policies in an address
here last night.
Colonel Knox, in fine fettle after
a two day rest in Yellowstone
Park discarded most of a prepared
speech.
Reiterating his charge made at
Allentown, Pa, that mo life in
Surance policy is secure and no
savings account is safe under the
present administration" Knox
also quoted from a purported state
ment of United States Senator
Carter Glass, of Virginia, in sup
port Of the charge.
Quotes Roosevelt
Other authorities" we're cited,
but the emphasis was placed on
the purported declaration of
Roosevelt when candidate in
1882 and in one message to Con-
greSS,
Knox said he did not want to be
understood as. questioning the in
tegrity of banks and insurance
companies, but asserted that con-
tinuance of Roosevelt policies
would undermine the whole finan-
cial structure of the country.
The speech was in anticipation
OF a counter offensive by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt today, after a con-
ference with insurance executives
at the White House.
Reiterates Statement
Before quoting from the Presi-
dents statements, made prior to
the increasing of the public debt
under the New Deal, and reiterat-
ing his own statement at Allen
town, Knox said:
81 am informed the President
Of the United States has called
a meeting of life insurance Of
ficials to consider the state of
companies they represent. 1t is
high time the Government
should be worrying about this
matter. The steady undermin-
ing of savings of American peO-
pie by prOfligate squandering is
the most inexcuSable of all the
reckless and mistaken policies Of
the present Administration.
They have the filters when this
subject is mentioned"
REPEATS SPEECH
Saying he was reading from
"only a few of his many state
ments made in 1882 and 1888"
Knox attributed to President
Roosevelt the following:
"Let us have the courage to
stop borrowing to meet cOntinu-
Gus deficitS-any government,
like any family-can for a year,
spend little more than it earns.
But you and 1 know that a con-
tinuatiOn of that habit means
the pOOrhOuse. For three long
years the Federal Government
has been on the road toward
bankruptcy, thus we shall have
The Washington times., 1936-09-15

that this dangerous kind Of fl
nancing shall be stopped and
that rigid governmental econ.
Omy shall be forced by stern
and unremitting administration
policy of living within our in
come.
But when we come to con.
slider prOdigality and extrava-
gance in the Federal Govern
ment, as distinguished from
State or local government, we
are talking about something even
more dangerous, for upon the
financial stability of the United
States Government depends the
stability of trade and employ.

Carthy along the same lines. The judge is thorough. Any other man might have taken the fact that his overcoat was soaking, and his feet wringing, as proof positive. But not the judge.
 "McCarthy, does it strike you as mighty wet grounds?" he asked.
 Surprised-and bit fiattered, perhaps-by the judges attention Mccarthy hesitated for a moment then answered:
 "Yes sir, judge, I'd say the grounds are drenched. I agree with you all the way"
 And what do you think, Jack son?" the high commissioner de- manded of the Giants captain.
 well, I'm no authority, Judge Jackson answered, land maybe I'm wrong, but I believe it's lousy weather"
 ''That settles it." the judge snapped. "Yes, that settles it."
 Sensing that the time had arrived for decision, Jackson, Mccarthy and myself stood silent. Jackson took of his cap and held it in hi. hand.
 Then came those words, those simple words, which soon were tC be flashed all over the length anC breadth of the United States.

CADETS EASE GOPHER ACHES
 AFTER BATTLE
Minnesota Training Room Rated Among Best
 in Nation

Minneapolis = (UP) = Appro- priately enough, the mighty Gophers of the University of Min nesota have one of the finest train- ing rooms in the nation. Z
 It is pitted in the cavernous depths of Memorial stadium. The walls are radiantly white. Shiny. efficient-appearing devices hand suspended over numerous long white tables, around : which 8 corps of trainers, clad in white, move swiftly.
 One of the glittering machines is a muscle relaxer." This sends rapidly vibrating currents through an injured arm or leg of an ata- lete and generates heat which removes stiffness and pain.
 A huge ultraviolet ray machine is in constant use during the football season. Its duties range from chasing slight colds to killing possible infection on skin torn by removal of tape or by scrimmage contact.
 There also is an infra-ted ray machine. This penetrates deeply into muscles, removing stiffness and soreness.
 Another device is an automatic exerciser," which sends currents through stiff muscles, causing them to contract and relax, over and over again.
 In one corner is a small-sized bathtub. Through this alternate streams of hot and cold water can be run. This reduces swellings from sprained ankles.
 However, most of the work in the training room can be classified as preventive measures" which con sist mainly of meticulous, careful taping.
 All the backfield men have thei1 ankles taped to prevent strains and sprains in sudden turns and pivots. The linemen have their wrists and hands taped to strengthen them against the sudden impact of a hurtling opponent.
 Lloyd Stein is head trainer, while Dr. George Hauser, line coach of the Gophers, is the chief supervisor or the training department.

BRITISH DOUBT
 IF ENDEAvOUR
 GAN WIN CUP
Yachtsnlen Disagree Over Merits of Old and New
 Challenger
By VIRGIL PINKLEY ],

q United Press Stan Correspondent.
 London GULF. .)-Dismayed by the poor showing of the nations, ath- letes in the Olympic, Games the rout of the Walker Cup golf team, and the seemingly unlucky finish m the U. s. Amateur, British sports men today expressed some doubt about the sailing ability of Endeay- our II to win the Americas Cup. !
 Some yachting authorities believe Endeavollr II, challanger in next years America Cup races, is no bet ter racer than the old Endeavour.
 The new craft, it must be remem- bered, has been built to meet condi- tions which normally prevail in American waters.
 Length May Be Asset #
 Endeavour II is several feet long, CT and has 8 greater displacement than Endeavour I. The new yacht, however, has the same sail area. In- creased size and length is expected to aid the challenger in negotiating depe water and swells which may be expected along the American coast.
 British sportsrnen during recent weeks have become especially con- scious regarding the poor showing of their athletes in some branches of sport, chiefly track and held, swimming, rowing, boxing and mems amateur golf..
 Punch Takes Jibe
 Punch depicted this attitude in a cartoon which announced the 1S4O Olympic Games will be held Tn Tokyo. The cartoon shows John Bull looking at the date "194OS, yawning, and taking blanket over his shoulder to enjoy a good long rest and sleep.
 Despite defeats in some branches of sports, British athletes have made excellent showing in tennis, retaining the Davis Cup and twin ming four of the five Wimbledon titles, mems professional golf ana women's golf.
 British polo players also enjoyed a creditable season, holding America to close victories in the Westchester Cup series. A British ice hockey team won the Olympic champion ship, defeating the favored Cana dians and the United States players.
 Finishes Good Season
 Endeavour II, despite late start, finished the season in British waters at the top of her class.
 Observers believe Endeavour 1T must have 6 better crew and pos- sibly a change in sails if she is to come within striking distance Of winning back the Americas Cup.
 During coming months the yacht will undergo some slight alterations. After watching her race number of times, designers believe they can give her extra speed without sacri- ficing her apparent ability to race in heavy seas.

MARION WILEY HAS CHANGED TO
 BE. A HEROINE
Kentucky Girl Can Prevent U. s. Golf Trophy Going
 to England
BY HENRY SUPER

(Unlte0 freSS 0taII COrreSpOn0entD
 Summit, N. J., October 2. - (UP) - It's up to pair of southern youngsters or a New Jersey veteran to prevent the American women's golf title from making its first trir across the Atlantic Ocean in g years.
 One of the Dixie girls, 22-year-old, black haired Marion Miley of Lex ington, Ky, gets a chance to keep the trophy at home today. If she fails, one of the other Americans will be called upon to defend the championship tomorrow against red-haired Pam Barton of London British champion.
 Miss Miley faces Miss Barton in an 18-hole simi-final match of the 10th national tournament at the Canoe Brook Country Club. In the other match, 29-year -old Mrs. Mau- reen Orcutt Crews of Coral Cables, Florida, meets Kathryn Hemphill of Columbia, S. O., who has one of the smoothest swings in the game.
 Only once has both the American and British titles been won by the same player. That was in 1908 when Dorothy Campbell of Scotland turned the trick. She also won the U. s. title in 1910 and, in 1924 as an American citizen, Mrs. D. H. Hurd, she again won the domestic championship.
 The last British woman to win over here was Gladys Ravenscroft who took the trophy in 1913. Nc American, on the other hand, ever has been able to lift the British trophy.
 Of the three Americans, Miss Miley seems to have the best chance of stopping Miss Barton. She ad- vanced yesterday with a crushing 5 and 4 victory over Mrs. Carl H. Donner of Springfield, N. J. In her three other matches in this tourna- ment, Miss Miley has won all but one match before the 18th green.
 Mrs. Crews, one of the best players America has produced, was favored to advance over Miss Hemphill to- day. The young southern star was forced to 19 holes before triumph ing yesterday over Mrs. William E.. Shepherd of Beverly Hills, Cal. Miss Hemphill whipped Mrs. Opal S. Hill, Kansas City veteran, 3 and 2 yes terday while Miss Barton defeated Beatrice Barrett of Minneapolis 4 and 3.
 Today's winners meet tomorrow over the 36-hole route for the title.
 The semi-final matches were to start at 1:3O p. m., EST, with Bar ton and Miley first off the tee.

Series: Sidelights

Wednesday. The slim meeker, Okla, screwballer clipped 19 points of that percentage by turning the dur able first baseman back hitleSs.
 The Giants management is hop ing those 13,OO0 empties in the un- reserved grandstands Wednesday were the result of overcast skies, but the boys around press headquarters blame them on the pre-series sell out" publicity, and point to the all- star game at Boston as authority for their belief. The fans stayed away from that one in droves for fear of not getting seat.
 This will be the first world series game attended by MT. Roosevelt since one between the Yankees and the Cubs in Chicago in 1882, and he wasn't the chief executive then just 8 hopeful candidate. He saw Babe Ruth call his shot by pointing his bat toward the distant center field bleachers, under the haunting of Guy Bush, and drive the next ball pitched for home run in the exact spot he had indicated.
 The change from the Stadium to the Polo Grounds involved much hurrying and scurrying to arrange seating for the presidential party of 49. Several other National League Club officials had to give up their choice boxes to accommodate the unexpected guests.
 Giant Manager Terry still intends to go through with his original plans of pitching Schumacher today. Fitz- simmons tomorrow and Hubbell in the fourth. Hubbell will not get the call to relief duty except in case of dire necessity which most likely would come in the game that would decide the series. It is felt that if 1t goes seven games, Long Pantss Carl is going to get the starting as- sienment in the finale.

 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Oct. 2-(UP)-I missed the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Napoleon's decision to leave Moscow, Julius Ceasar's de- cision to cross the Rubicon, and Woodrow Wilson's 1897 request that the United States enter the war.
 But this was partially, if not com pletely made up for, yesterday when I was fortunate enough to be on hand when Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, with a firmness which thrilled the little group about him, announced that the second game of the world series between the Yan- kees and the Giants was postponed because of wet grounds.
 Melodrama
 There were three of us with him Joe Mccarthy, manager of the Yankees; Travis Jackson, third baseman and field captain of the Giants, and myself. And I'll never forget that moment when, standing deep in the outfield, the sharp wind tossing his great shock of white hair until it resembled 8 wave breaking on a beach, the judge drew himself erect and said, slowly and simply:
 "Therell be no game game today! No, there won't be any game. It's too wet"
 Any man but the judge might have been by the weather; might have failed to notice the sodden condition of the Polo Grounds. But Landis investigated the stadium with 8 thoroughness that bespoke his long experience on the bench. He never once doubted but what the diamond was wet, from the moment he stepped into an ankle deep puddle back of first base, until he slipped on field of mud while giving the third base line his undivided at- tention.
 But-and I'll never forget the the mans thoughtfulness-Landis didn't attempt to deprive us of shar- ing the thrill of calling of a world series game. He seemed to sense that history was in the making and also a round of golf for him. self in the afternoon-and gracious ly allowed us to take part.
 He not only asked the three of us if we didn't think the ground was wet, but if it wasn't awfully wet. Now, he didn't have to do that, be- cause he was up to his pants cuff in small lake at the time of the question, and knew perfectly well that it was. But he wanted us to feel as if our judgment was just as good as his, and that he respected it to the fullest. -
 I was so f1attered when he turned to me, and with his piercing eyes piercing through his shaggy eye brows, asked if didn't think it was mighty wet, that I barely was able to reply:
 Tt sure is good and wet, judge" I managed to stammer. "I'd say it was mighty durn wet"
 "Good!" he replied his piercing eyes still piercing. Good. You're right. tis wet. Wet as can be-"
 Thorough Going
 Then, pulling his feet from a muddy patch, he questioned Mo-
