HANSON FLAYS
'NEWDEAL GAG
ON PRESS

LEWISBURG, Pa, July 10 GIN
S0.-Suppression of news was
charged against the Roosevelt ad
ministration last night by Elisha
Hanson before the political science
class at Bucknell University Sum
mer School.
Hanson, general counsel of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association, said:
"While the press should be
ever alert to resist encrOach-
ments by Government, it should
be equally alert as to other
dangers confronting 1t. The
greatest of these is propaganda.
"In 1888 the Administration
now in power in Washington
seriously took up the business
Of selling its program and its
philosophy to the people Of this
country. 1t set up publicity
divisions bottled up sources
Of news and hired more
newspaper men to write news
for the Government than were
employed by the newspapers
and press associations in Wash
ingtOn :"
Hanson charged many Of the
Governments publicity agencies
were established contrary to
provisions of 1913 statute which
provided no money appropriated
by Congress shall be used for
compensation of any publicity ex,
pert unless specifically appro-
priated for that purpose. "
Citing instances of New Deal
news "supervisions," Hanson Con-
tinued:
Harold Ickes, Secretary Of
the Interior, and former city
editor of a newspaper, threat
ened with dismissal any sub
ordinate who discussed any
activities of his department
with any newspaper man.
"YOu are familiar with the
recent expose of the graft and
corruption in the Works Prog
reSs Administration headed by
Harry Hopkins.
"Yet only a few weeks ago
Mr.. Hopkins addressed q let

Southern Youth
ParIey Called

WASHINGTON, (CNA)- Plans
for a conference on the problems
Of the Southern youth were an
bounced last week by the youth
section of the National Negro Con-
gress.
The conference, which will be
held in Norfolk, Va, in the fall,
will seek to unity and form a broad
fighting front of all young people
interested in the struggle for the
rights of the Negro youth.
Among the problems to be taken
up are: getting jobs for Negroes,
Negroes in the South" fighting
discrimination and segregation in
the schools of the North" and
"war an incip1ent fascism as it's
affects the Negro"
Edward Strong of Chicago, head
,of the youth department Of the

But if the organs which do not

"He has set in motion a

didates ever groomed for such
gathering
THE STRATEGY
In this way the Administration
seeks to weaken both the leader
ship of Senator Borah of Idaho
and Govern or Landon of Kansas
who draw their support in the
main from the agricultural States
of the West.
Then too, the Administration
realizes that a national convention
under the domination Of United
States Senators always arouSes the
ire of Representatives in Congress
who attend such convention as
delegates.
This rivalry between the mem
berS of the two Houses was a
source of much discord and bad
feeling in the Chicago Convention
of 1920. That convention was
unique in history by reason Of the
fact that its nominee for the presl-
dency was the only Senator OF the
United States ever to reach that
exalted office.
Mr.. Harding owed his nomina-
ton to the Senate group which
dominated that convention and
that convention is the type which
Candidate Roosevelt would like
to see his opponents adopt as
their model at Cleveland.
/ All of this secret strategy may
be very shrewd. Only time will
tell whether it is shreWd enough
to attain its object.
This objective is to so disgust
the anti-Hoover Republicans who
elected Mr.. Roosevelt four years
ago that they will prefer to sup
port him again rather than cast
their votes for the nominee Of
! the Cleveland convention.

Never before in American history
has an Administration seeking re-
election and assured of its COM
plete domination of the national
convention of its own party at
tempted to weaken the forces of
the opposition by controlling their
national convention.
This is now the main objective
of Candidate Roosevelt in the po-
litical field.
The Philadelphia Convention
Mr.. Roosevelt now carries in the
political vest pocket of his Job
master General, Mr.. Farley. Its
delegates will be hand picked for
the most part.
They will include those Senators
who have shown themselves most
subservient to every whim of Per-
Sonal Government and more Fed
eral officeholders than have ever
before gone through the motion OF
renominating the candidate to
whom they owe their jobs.
The platform of the Philadel.
phia Convention will be dictated
by Candidate Roosevelt and swal-
lowed whole by his convention,
Even the membership of the con-
vention committees will be ordered
from Washington.
And to the end that there may
be no interference with this ma
chinery Mr.. Farley will remain
in the Cabinet as Postmaster
General and chairman of the
Roosevelt campaign committee al
least until the Philadelphia con
vention has adjourned and Gov
Alfred E. Smith and his little
band of followers howled down
if they attempt to thwart the
will of the candidate.
THE PROBLEM
But Mr.. Roosevelt was not
elected President four years age
by the votes of the regular mem
bers of the Democratic Party
1t was the votes of the anti
Hoover Republicans who gave
him his victory.
In order to be reelected he
now knows that he must retain
the support of the vast majority
of these anti-Hoover Republicans
because he cannot prevent the
loss of a considerable number
of AL Smith Democrats.

date Roosevelt has taken for
his own the NapOleOnic maxim

How About SubWays?

Congress is displaying a commendabe concern about
Washingtons traffic problem but it is making serious
mistake if believes that the problem be solved by
adopting additional restrictive regulations laws
The hope for remedying the traffic situation here
probably lies in the installation of subway system
1T SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY OBVIOUS THAT THE
STREETS CANNOT NOW ACCOMMODATE, WITH
ANY DEGREE OF SAFETY AND SPEED, THE NUM-
BER OF VEHICLES NOW BEING USED.
Washingtonians are unwilling give up their use of
Eheir automobiles until they be assured of
sonaby speedy rapid transit system.
Such system cannot be developed on the streets as
they
By putting the transportation system under
ground at least in the downtown section of the city,
we would not only get rid of the street and buses
in that section but would also get rid Of lot of
automobiles, particularly during present congestion
periods.
There are of course, arguments against installing
subway system
Probably the most potent is the argument of COST
What would they cost and who would pay the cost?
1t shouldn't be difficult to obtain reliable esti-
mates on the cost of various proposed systems and
it is By no means impossible to york out eQuitG-
BILE and satisfactory method of financing the cON-
structiOn through the UGriOus elements that WOULd
be inUOLUed.
The Times is carrying interesting series Of articles

citizens to follow the series.
