Vigorous Anti-New Dealer
Kept in Line for the
Next Presidency
By JAMES A. SULLIVAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a
UP). 1.-The American Bankers
association moved smoothly over
an election hurdle yesterday with
the elevation of Tom X. Smith,
st. Louis, Mo, to the presidency,
and the advancement of Orval w.
Adams, Salt Lake City, to the vice
presidency.
Reports had been published that
there was considerable dissenslon
among delegates over advance
ment of Adams, center of a row
at the 1885 New Orleans conven-
ton, but none of it was apparent
on the floor.
Adams, executive vice president
of the Utah State National bank,
incurred the opposition of friends
of President Roosevelt at the 1885
convention because of his avowed
anti-New Deal convictions.
When Jesse Jones, chairman OF
the RFC; Mariner Eccles, head
of the Federal Reserve; Harry
Hopkins, Federal Relief admins
traitor, and J. F. T. O'Connor,
comptroller of the currency, ap-
peared here just before and dur
ing the convention, reports were
circulated that the New Dealers
were seeking support in a plan to
break the long-seated tradition OF
the association and remove Adams
from the order of succession when
will make him president of the
organization in 1887.
Jones, however, left suddenly,
pleading Hines; Eccles renamed
in the background; Hopkins moved
on; and O'Connor spent most OF
his time denying reports of an en-
gagement to a motion picture ac-
treSS.
No objection was heard to the
acceptance of the nominating com
mittee report, which recommends
ed Smith, president of the Boat
mems National bank of St. LOUIS
be moved from the first wee
presidency to the presidence; Au,
ans be advanced from the second
vice-presidency to the first vice

LANDON ASSAILS
NEW DEAL WASTE

NEW YORK, Sept. "a. (UP)-
President Roosevelt last nigh
closed the sixth annual forum OF
current problems with a plea fol-
Punishment of prejudice and ran
cor from politics.
He told 5000 club women by
radio from Hyde Park that preju'
dice is a weak substitute for logic
in determining questions of vita
consequence to the nation. He
said it is natural for advocates
and adversarieS of any policy oil
process of government to relapse
into exaggeration and invective
and so becloud controversy as to
make the future of the country
determinable by rancor and tenn
per instead of calm elaboration
and clear thinking.
President Roosevelt closed the
Herald Tribune conference, which
also heard Gov. Landon'S message,
Earl Browder, communist, Norman
Thomas, socialist, William Lemke,
Union party nominee, and other
minor candidates for the presi'
dency.
President Roosevelt pleaded for
"calm deliberation and clear think,
ing" instead of 'eXaggeratior
and invective" in the present cam,
paign. He asked that the press
"make whatever Improvement Is
possible" instead of beclouding
controversial issues.
Landon struck at the tissue OF
waste and extravaganza" of the
present administration.
when the New Deal was origi-
mated. oStensibly to meet an emer-
gency, all Americans were glad to
cooperate" his message said. 1--WE
were ready to excuse mistakes due
to urgent haste and necessary eX-
perimentation What we cannot
excuse today is the fact that
waste and extravaganza and the
reckless experimentation then I'M
tiated have been fastened upon
Washington as the habitual thrift
lessness of a prodigal government
of Over-expanding bureaucrats.
Eve Republicans are glad to
express our sympathy with many
of the aims of the present admin,

Cave Honeymoon
Is Broken Up In
Kentucky Hills
Father 14-Year-Old Bride
Takes Her Home After
She Goes Primitive

BOWLING GREEN, KY, Sept.
"a. (UP).-A vacancy sign hung
before a cave in the hills above
Lost river last night as 19-year-
old Ben Porter gave up his cave
man romance with Vera Grimes,
his 14-year-old bride.
The couples four-day honey
moon in the rude, unfurnished
cave, was interrupted when Vera $
father appeared suddenly and
hauled his cave-dwelling daughter
back home to Cleaves, Ohio,-but
not without protest. =,
Young Porter last night, back
home after a day of work in the
fields of his fathers farm below
the cave, was undecided whether
to fight to regain his wife.
Deputy Sheriff Boyd Doaney
said he had heard tales of a mod,
ern young "girl of the limberlost'
in the Lost river region for three
or four weeks. He went to the
vicinity of the cave and was told
by farmers that a young girl mao
been seen changing around"
He found Vera in her wilder
ness paradise, arrested her and
lodged her in Jail at Bowling
Green. Released a few days later,
however, she headed straight back
for the cave, and began her ro-
nance with husky young Porter
Friends drove the couple to Gal
latin, Tenn, where they were mar
ried. They return here to set up
housekeeping in the cave.
Back at Cleaves, the girls ia

She could be his daughter who ran
away six weeks ago. He wired her
description, found it tailed. =.
Downey re-arrested the girl al
ter "quite a tussle' and held her
for her father. Last night she was
back home, while young Porter
contemplated the vacant cave ana
kept his plans secret.

PAPAL LEGATE
RETURNS HERE

Archbishop Amleto Giovanni
Cicognani, apostolic delegate to the
United States, returned to Wash
ington today after an absence Of
two months, most Of which was
spent in Rome.
The archbishop came here d.

While in Rome he had several
audiences with the Pope, and de-
clared that when he last saw him,
His Holiness was "Strong and
energetic"
Declaring that the Pope was
deeply interested in motion pic
lures, the archbishop said:
sTt was another proof Of the
Holy Fathers interest in pres
ent-day problems. He does not
only concern himself with the
problems of the ecclesiastical
organization throughout the
world, but he has faced all the

especially those dealing with
the sanctity of marriage, the
education of youth and the
