SCORE OPPRESSION
Interior Secretary Carries
Roosevelt Message to

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 25.-Speaking at
a dinner of the United Palestine Ap-
peal. Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes said last night that President
Roosevelt was distressed and dis
tGrbed" by oppression of minorities "in
certain parts of the world"
Ickes delivered what ne said was an
authorized presidential statement as
he discussed reconstruction of Pales-
tine as a home for Jews migrating
from Europe. He mentioned no coun-
try as the site of the Jewish oppression
which he discussed at length.
He (Roosevelt) has charged me to
say to you who are an integral and
valued element in the Nation, that he
Is distressed and disturbed by the re-
version in certain parts of the world to
days and deeds of an era which all
enlightened people had long hoped
would never return" Ickes said.
1T is his conviction that so long as
minorities of the nations of the world
are deprived of liberty of thought and
religion. and the right to lead normal,
civilized life, there can be no true and
permanent understanding between ma
tions"
Ickes likened the Palestine project
to the Roosevelt administrations re-
covery program.
The dinner marked the halfway
mark in the city's effort to raise
81 500 900 toward a national quota Of
So. 500 900 for settlement in Palestine

MARCANTONI0 FACES
TRIAL FOR ASSAULT
Indicted as Director of Attack

Ey tr1 Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 1o.-Accused
of directing an attack upon q Demo
cratic poll watcher. Representative
Vito Marcantonio, Republican, of New
York was indicted yesterday for as
sault in the second degree.
The charge, he said, was "a Tam
many attempt to embarass me in my
campaign for reelection"
Solomon Silver, the complainant
asserted Marcantonio melted three
men, also indicted. to assault him
Wednesday night.
Silver claimed that the attack fol-
lowed upon his protests against the
registration Of non-residents at q
polling place and that Marcantonio
had told q group of his followers:
Get that man out Of here. Don't
let him bother us any more"
Marcantonio, saying he was not
asked to appear before the grand jury,
asserted the accusation was "a cheap
political frame-up."

tional income. When the Govern
ment finances its costs by borrow
ing, 1t mortgages the future income
of every family. And II our Gov
ernment Is to remain honest, its
debts have to be paid. And they
have to be paid, not out Of some
impersonal fund known as ma
tional income" but ''in the sweat
Of every man that labors."
We cannot-we must not-place
this burden upon our children. We
must remember that they, too,
may have emergencies. We must
make it possible for them to live
their lives without having to pay
for the financial follies Of their
parents.
Every generation the necessary
activities OF Government increase.
This Is inevitable because of the
increasing complexity of civiliza-
ton. Unless we watch carefully
every penny we spend. unless we
cut out every trace of waste and
extravaganza, these necessary ac-
tivities are going to suffer. Every
dollar that is spent foolishly means
q dollar less for the things that
are necessary and wise.
Let me quote once more the
words of the President. In March,
1888, he said: TOO often in recent
history liberal governments have
been wrecked on the rocks Of
loose fiscal policy"
Loose Fiscal Policy
Must Be Stopped to Save U. S.
He spoke truly. A loose fiscal
policy-and that Is certainly po-
lite term for what We have today
will wreck any government. 1t
will wreck the Government of the
United States unless we stop it.
We must put the spenders out.
For remember, those who preach
spending. practice spending and
brag about spending cannot stop
spending. This is the lesson Of
history. That Is the record Of
this administration. They are
proud of their spending. They
talk Of it as though preserving
the financial integrity Of the
United States were only q game.
The American people know that
it is more than a game-that our
very existence depends upon keep
ing our financial house in order.
But if the administration wants a
base ball analogy-if they want
the score-it Is easy To give. It
is written clear across the coun.
try:
Twenty-Five billion dollars spent.
Thirteen billion dollars added to
the public debt.
Eleven million unemployed left
on base.

|. y. A. COURT TEST
!. WILL OPEN TODAY
Ruling on Status OF Act
Possible at Hearing
in Tennessee.
ly the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. October 10
Attorneys contesting over New Deal
power policies came here today for a
hearing which may speed T. v. A.
test case toward the Supreme Court
or delay it more months in lesser
tribunals.
At issue is motion of the Tennes-
see Valley authorities to dismiss 6
suit brought against it by 10 private
utilities operating in the valley area.
The Authority claims the suit should
have been brought in the northern
district of Alabama, where the T. v.
AS domicile is fixed by the act which
created it.
To argue this motion before Federal
District Judge John J. Gore the utili-
ties sent in a staff of legal talent
headed by Newton D. Baker of Cleve-
land, Ohio former Secretary of War,
while the T. v. A. dispatched its chief
solicitor, James Lawrence Fly,
In an earlier hearing on the mo-
tion Judge Gore said in his opinion
IL would be necessary to decide the
constitutionality of the act before rul-
ing on his jurisdiction in the suit.
This, he said, was due to the fact that
the disputed act itself determines the
place of residence of the Authority.
Judge Gore pointed out that a
ruling on constitutionality would per-
NIT an immediate appeal on the main
issue of the suit to the Circuit Court
of Appeals at Cincinnati This is de-
sirable, he said. since the complainant
power companies claimed in chal-
lenging the validity of the Authority
that delay would be injurious to them.
To take up the constitutional ques-
Non, therefore, he adjourned the
Cookeville hearing after directing
counsel to file briefs on the main
issue.
Attorneys for the power companies
differed from the view tentatively
held by the court and claimed the
motion for dismissal did not consti-
tLte proper basis for the broader
ruling.
In agreement with the court, the
r. v. A. brief said the court could
hold the entire act constitutional or,
limiting his decision in scope, could
hold the T. v. A. to be a constitu-
tional agency.
Should the court rule on the mat
ter of jurisdiction without deciding
the constitutional question, later
hearing would be required to settle
that question.

Three years ago two young box
ers squared off in the Coliseum ring.
One, an Indian boy, had come
down from Alaska heralded as a
potential ring star
The other, sailor in the Pacific
fleet, had come also heralded as a
potential fighter of class.
The boys hadn't been warning long
when the Indian, Miles Murphy,
cracked right to his rivals jaw,
the rival being a Polish kid named
Pulaski.
However, as the fight progressed
Murphy weakened and Pulaski
dropped him for the 10-toll, round
five, we believe.
There were those wise" souls in
the crowd, as usual, who winked
and jerked thumb to their stom-

boy. The critics meant lack of in.
