KNOX CHARGES

SECRET PLANS
Declares Campaign Has
Reeked of Propaganda,
False Argument
Bv EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Ncb., Oct. 20. (UT).
Frank Knox. Republican vice
presidential nominee. said in Z
campaign address last night that
"Thc administration has secret
and undiscloscd plans if victorious
in November"
Knox charged that the Demo-
cratic administration had failed to
offer a program of its future pol
icicS and that its campaign has
rocked of propaganda and false
argument.
"From the day this administra-
ton took office it abandoned and
repudiatcd the American form Of
government" Knox said before
warning of secret and undiScloScd
plans. The 1922 Democratic marty
platform promises, he said, "wcrc
broken because the American
principles Of government were
cast aside and the government Of
this nation was turned over to a
crew of eXpcrimcntcrS and thcor-
lists. fanatics and schcmerS."
"Thc Republican party has n
platform. it has a program. q .
Some may disagree with some OF
our plans, but note this: They arc
before you. There are no secret
plans. There is no Tugwell work
ing in our background with plans
for Russian system. There are
no Wallaccs in our party, with
plans to scrap the constitution.
There are no professors of poul-
try culture, with plans for cur
rcncy tricks"
Enoy's invasion of this wheat
belt area was into a state sccth-
ing politically, because of the
three corncrcd senatorial fight in
volving Senator George Norris.
Before his arrival here his day of
rear platform addresses were
marked by the assertion at st.
Joseph, Mo-, that the only recov-
cry contribution cmanating from
the New Deal administration
"made itself felt in the upper
ranks" The average man and
woman. he said, was mot interest
ed in what happens in Wall Street.
Knox, in his address here,
again called on President Roose-
welt TO answer a series of Qucs-
tons he has been putting to the
chief executive during the past
week. He asked the president to
explain whether he planned to try
to re-establiSh the NRA; what he
"plans to do to business after this
breathing spell before election"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. (UP)
The chatter of pneumatic
drills echoes through the halls of
congress these days and a thick
layer of stone dust cruchcS I'M
pleasantly under tourists shoes
as l,400 men work to rcfurniSh
the capitol buildings for the 18th
congress.
Every summer here is extensive
repair and painting in the four
structures which house the ma
tons legislators but this year the
installation of an air-conditioning
system creates the most extensive
remodeling job attempted in
many years.
Congress has appropriated ST.
$4,000 to carry pure, cool air
to the lungs of its 53l members
in their offices, committee rooms,
and assembly chambers. After
the job is completed, about the
only place on Capitol Hill where
statesman will have to breathe
ordinary air will be in the sub
ways carrying him from his office
to the capitol itself. Previously
only the senate and house cham
bers and press galleries have been
air-conditioned.
There is no telling when con-
gresS will adjourn its sessions in
the future. In past summers the
coming of 100-degree heat has
generally reminded members of
the senate and house that it's
about time to go home; but now
the inducement will be to stay in
session.
The new congress will have the
satisfaction of knowing that Its
work is carried on in the worlds
largest group of aforementioned
buildings served by a central re-
frigerating plant.
There are nearly 1000 rooms
in the four buildings being air
conditioned. The capitol itself has
$50. The old house office building
has 500. The new house office
building SIS, and the senate Of
flee building about $50.
To fill these rooms, the air-con-
ditioning apparatus will pump L.
100000 cubic feet Of conditioned

ficicnt to keep all the rooms at rs
degrees farcnhcit and 80 per cent
humidity even when the outside
temperature is 100 degrees.
But just to insure the ultimate
comfort for delicate lawmakers,
the engineers have provided Their
moStatcS in each office so that Joe
Zilch, VI. c., may have his room
temperature at - degrees or low
er if he finds rs too high.
The cost of the air-condition-
ing will be more than the cost of
the original capitol itself, on
which S2,433, 900, was expended
up to 1927. Original bids for the
work all exceeded the appropria-
ton and Architect David Lynn re-
advertised. In the meantime his
office has installed some of the
ducts with its own labor 70 cut
down the total cost.
Although the ducts will average
10 by II inches in cross section,
plenty of space was found in the
massive brick walls Of the stately
structure to install them, so that
the job did not affect the basic
structural members.
But air-cOnditioning is not the
only work in progress. Under

Because the state highway COM
