communistic dictatorship in Washing
ton"
There will be no amalgamation Of
the Townsend movement with any
other" DR.. Townsend said. That was
simply a friendly gesture Mr.. Smith
was kind enough to offer yesterday.
He tells me that there is an in
tense political sympathy throughout
the South for our movement and that
his organization members will vote
for what we stand for.
IF there's any political significance
In that you can take it for what it's
worth"
Expected to Be Stopped.
Referring to his leaving the in
quiry, he said:
Certainly I expected them to try
to shut the door or detain me. The
committee hasn't that power, but it
would have assumed it. 1t is the most
reprehensible and ridiculous attitude
that this Congress has taken"
He loosed a round of criticism at a
Congress he said would vote billions
at the behest Of an executive and
dump 1t into his lap without an ac-
counting to the taxpayers as to where
the money goes and what it is used
for"
Not many could condone such a
procedure" he added. land If that's
contempt, let them make the most
of it,"
At the Townsend headquarters here
last night Smith took leading part
in answering questions on the inquiry.

|PARTY PROGRAMS
SHOW LIQUOR ADS
Propriety of Using Revenue
From Books for Politics
Is Discussed.
BY CARLISLE BARGERON.

This time four years ago the vets
In both parties were solemnly promis-
ing that if liquor was permitted to
come back it would be kept in rigidly
formal clothes and certainly 1t would
be kept out of politics.
1t develops, however, that the ad-
vertising solicitors Of both parties, as
soon as they were turned loose, went
running to the distillers. As a re-
suit, not only are liquor advertise
ments to be prominently displayed
in the celebrated $3.50 Convention
Book which the New Dealers are get
ting out, but in the less-advertised
book of the Republicans as well. The
only difference apparently is that the
New Dealers are charging more, but,
on the other hand, they are doing
everything they can to give their book
a wide circulation. In the case of the
New Dealers, the money goes directly
to Forbes Morgan, secretary OF the
Democratic National Committee. for
campaign purposes, while the Repub-
Lean book is being gotten out by
the Convention Arrangements Com
mittee. But, although the Republic
ans bo6k hasn't been ballyhooed, it
is to be very similar in size and de-
sign to that of the New Dealers.

The New Dealers are getting $4,000

One firm has charge Of the adver-

are two crews Of solicitors. but the
fact that they work for the same firm

Question Never Raised.
For years there has been a Law
against corporations contributing te
political parties. The question OF
whether advertising in the conven-
ton books does not contravene this
law has never come up because the
money heretofore has gone to the
expenses of the convention In the
case of the New Dealers this year the
money goes directly into the tsm-
paign fund.
There IS no secret in New Deal
circles, either, that the reason they
decided to take over the publication
of their book was because they
couldn't expect large contributions
from business men. One If the
largest advertisers in their book, on
the other hand, is Chrysler Motors
What Walter P. Chrysler links OF
the New Deal Is well known.

RECLAMATION BILL
CHANGE APPROVED
House Concurs in Amendment to
Exempt Laborers From
Civil Service.

BY q vote Of 80 to so, the House
approved yesterday . Senate amend
ment to the Interior Department ap-
preparation bill exemptmg from the
classification act and the civil service
laws all those employed by the Re
clamation Service in building the
All-American Canal.
Representative Taylor, Democrat. Of
Colorado, explained in answer to Fro
tests by Minority Leader Smell that
practically 90 per cent Of the en-
ployes are day laborers and 1t would
not be practicable to set up a civil
service register for them.
Smell agreed 1t was all right to en-
ploy day laborers without regard to
civil service, but that all clerical
positions should be retained under
civil service appointment. Taylor said
this is really relief job, giving en-
ployment to thousands Of day laborers.
srell expressed his opinion thst It
would prove "just relief for Demo-
cratic Job hunters"
