(UP) = President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, in his Baltimore ad-
dress Monday night, urged once
more an unemployment relief pro-
gram which already has been
proved failure as an emergency
measure, former President Her
bert Hoover declared last night.
The president, through his ad-
vocacy of shorter hours with the
same weekly pay as a means OF
reducing, unemployment, "hnds
himself upon the horns Of a dllem-
ma" Mr.. Hoover said.
The former president, whose ad-
dresses throughout the nation dur
ing the last six months have con-
stituted the most consistently
caustic arraignment Of the New
Deal and it's policies, submitted
the following five-point plan to
get a restoration of long-term
confidence"
/. Reduce government ex-
penses.
2. Balance the budget.
8. Establish a real currency.
d.. Stop these movements end
threats of initiation.
S. Stop these other activities
which destroy confidence in the

Striking directly at the presi-
dents remarks, Mr.. Hoover said
"President Roosevelt in his ad-
dress last evening again proposes
shorter hours with the same week

ing unemployment. Over gener-
alton wages have been increasing

URGES ELECTION ON
SUPPLEMENTAL TAX

A prospective resident looks for
two principal features that will
influence his decision-reasonable
living costs and favorable climate
land if there are children in the
family a third requirement is not
only added but may become the
most important Of the three,
Lieut.. -Commdr. r. B. Hammes, U.
S. Navy, retired, reminded the
Hendersonville Parent Teacher as
ISOLATION in an address at the
April meeting at the high school
building yesterday afternoon.
"After travelling 1000 miles IN
search of suitable location in
which to raise our children, we
found a fine climate and reason
able living costs in Hendersonville,
but | must say reluctantly that it
has sadly failed in upholding a
once fine educational SYSTEM" the
speaker asserted. 81 make this
charge for home consumption
only, but we cannot hide it any
longer than about six weeks. The
emergency is that imminent. This
very summer we will be ques-
toned on the third feature by
prospective residents. What an
& .e. .22rr5wiltwe be able to give them
that is convincing"
Lieut.. -Comdr. Hammes then re-
called the recent refusal OF the
city school board to call special
election on the question of voting
a supplemental school tax, and
urged parents and civic organiza-
tions to press their request that
the board reconsider it's decision
In support of his position, the
speaker said:
During the past three years
have been afforded the unique po-
sition and opportunity to observe
this matter from three different
angles: (a) as substitute teacher
in most of the departments of ou1
high school; (b) as special prl,
waite tutor; and. (c) as a parent
and confirmed resident. The hrst
gave me first hand information
as to class room functioning and
the general apathy on the part OF
parents in their responsibility; the
second a more specific insight into
the unsatisfactory results of over
crowded classes caused by insult
ficient number of teachers; and
the third the great need of rene
diving the rapid decadance in our
school system caused primarily by
a shortened term due to lack OF
funds.
"All of these defects are I'M
portant but / have not the time
to discuss all and will confine my
self to the third and most lmpo!r,,,
tant. A prompt relief in this Will
relatively reduce the necessity OF
correction in the others.

most of it destructive. 1t is not

the bass viol in these shows.
In the early 70s a wagon show Wis
tied Baraboo. bought harness from
the Ringing boys father and depart
ed without paying the bill. After
them went four OF the boys to COL
lect. They joined the show instead
Transportation Genius.
John Ringing showed genius for
transportation details, and it was this
|
faculty that enabled him to enlarge
and build up the extensive show
business that netted him a fortune
The merger Of the Ringing Bros.
circus and the Barnum a. Bailey
show made famous by the famed
Phineas Barnum took place in 1907
The brothers paid $4,000 for their
rival business and soon brought the
shows to Madison Square Garden.
John Ringing joined with the
late Tex Rickard in 1925 In con.
structing the present Madison Square
Garden.
In 1929 he effected the purchase OF
the Sells-Floto. Robinson. Hagenbeck-
Wallace. Sparks and Al G. Barnes

millions of dollars.
