funds made available by the Fed
eral Government. Commissioners
in Okeechobee and Martin Coun-
ties have appropriated money to
be matched with Federal money

ROBINSON ACCUSES ,
SMITH OF DESERTION

should dispose of the claim, from
whatever source it came that the
National Industrial Recovery Act
shakes the firm foundations of
our constitution. :" e. ...
i To Smiths charge that public
money was being wasted and thta
the administration had failed to
carry out the party platform
pledge of cutting governmental
expenditures rs per- cent, Rob
inson again cited Smiths 1882
Jackson Day speech in which ne
said: ,
"Now if it is all right to put
the credit of the government be-
hind business, let the credit of
the government be used to keep
the wolf of hunger away from
the doormat of millions of peo-
ple." .,
Robinson pointed out that Smith
proposed in the same speech that
congress empower the president
to appoint a federal administra-
tor of public works and clothe
the chief executive with plenary
power to slash government red
tape.
ernor Smith, what a short men,
ory you have" Xxx
Robinson denied tn at Mr..
Roosevelt has advocated single
measure designed to curb the
liberties of any man. He point
ed out that even members of the
supreme court had differed on
the constitutionality of New Deal
measures.
"If YOU condemn the president,
Governor Smith, you condemn
yourself 100 fold" Robinson said
tartly.
He added it was strange" to
see Smith in company with those
who event about the country de-
nouncing you as a Communist
and Socialist" in 1928 and added
,'I'm sure Mr.. Hoover was with
YOU in spirit, his cherbuic face
agleam and his chubby hands ap-
plauding ecstatically as you re-
peated against Mr.. Roosevelt the
very speech which he himself de-
livered against you in 1928"
In closing Robinson conceded
that in the heat of battle, Presi-
dent Roosevelt perhaps had "ent-
ployed the wrong tactics" He
admitted perhaps there has been
confusion and loss of energy"
But he continued "those things
always happen when human he.
ings attempt mass operations in a
hurried formation under th e
pressure of adverse fate" They
did not, Robinson, emphasized,
justify a change eof allegiance in
the face Of the enemy"

THRILL KILLER SLAIN
BY A PRISONER
Continued from page one)

away from Loeb and killed the
thrill slayer" in self-defense.
"Day said Loeb had been hound
ing him ever since he was trans
ferred here from Pontiac Refor-
matory," Edward G. Powers, in
vestigator for States Attorney
Will McCabe, told reporters. "He
saws that Loeb wanted him to
submit to certain acts and he
refused" g {" e..
Powers said he doubted several
parts of Days story, which did
not coincide with stories told by
prison guards, particularly the
part in which Day said he took
the razor. from Loeb.
"I.oeb was cut innumerable
times" Powers said. 81 don't
know of a part of his body which
was not slashed. l would not es-
innate the number of cuts but
there. must have been close to SO.
One was across the jugular vein:
"Last Friday, Day says, he had
some words with Loeb. Yester-
day morning, when Day was go
ing past Loeb and Leopold's cell,
he, stopped and spoke to Loeb and
said he would like to settle what
ever Loeb had against him. Loeb
said he had no time then but he
was going to take his bath short
ly affer nnch and would see him
then.
"The place where Loeb bathed
is next to an ante-room off the
prison dining hall. The ante
room is being remodeled to pro-
vide a classroom for Loeb's cor
respondence school course which
he has been giving some of the
prisoners.
"Day, who had been helping re-
pair the room, went to the bath
room some five minutes before
Loeb arrived, he said. Loeb lock-
ed the door as soon as, he CAME
into the bathroom, Day said, and
started to take a shower bath.
Dav insists that Loeb had the
razor with him, but l doubt this
as there. was not a scratch, on
Day:: He has a black eye which
he said he got in another scuffle
a few days ago and there is a
mark on his cheek where he says
Loeb struck him. Otherwise Day
is unscratched." . =
Continuing Days version. Pow
ers said Loeb finally ordered Day
to undress, using the razor as
threat.
"Day says he did so, but as ne
went into the shower he kicked
Loeb and Loeb fell. Day SAID
he fell on Loeb and knocked the
razor from his hand. Seizing IT,
he slashed at Loeb several times,
lost it once under a blow from
Loeb, but retrieved it.
"Finally, he slashed Loeb re-
peatedly, inflicting hor b ie
wounds, then turned on the colo
water and washed the blood off
himself. He then picked up the
razor and his shirt and came
out to surrender to two guards,
who had heard the commotlon
and were trying to get in, :.
Powers said he did not belleve
it possible that Day could have
gained such an advantage over
the heavier Loeb as to wrest a
razor from him. A charge of mur-
der will be preferred against Day.
