Indications that a fi- raucial reorganization and tax re- auctions may soon permit reopen- inH of the Amoskeag Manufacturing company, largest cotton-textile plant in the country, have served to buoy the spirits of the jobless at q time when winters severest weather had added to their trou- blag. Many of the city's 1000 idle textile operatives are unaware that Arnoskeaeg, when and If it does re- open probably will not reemploy many more than 5000 hands.
 Federal, state, county and city governments. labor unions, chari- table, church, fraternal and civic organizations, and more fortunate relatives have cooperated in easing the tremendous and growing bur- den of Manchester's needy. Tn December alone the city and Hills borough county distributed a total of Sl54,l97 in direct relief to 15,l52 persons, state relief funds for l935 having long since been exhausted.

Smith seem ed well suited to follow in the foot steps of the late senator from Louisiana, coining phrases gliby and denouncing the New Deal in scath- ing manner.
 We cannot trust the brain trust v he said, the ghost of Huey Long IS haunting all his foes in the south; he has a copyright on all reform south of the Mason and Dixon line Dole jobs are not patronage. we are friends of all the foes of Roose- welt. We'll support Al Smith in his

 Hear Anybody Catch Hell
 'Tt was held under the auspices of an organization using the right eous designation of the American Liberty League" he said. Tt was ar audience of those who always turn out to hear anybody catch hell"
 He said some republicans were there. a small disappointed disil- lusioned group of has-beens" at tended and the others were "poll- tical nondescripts" looking for per- sonal gain"
 There is one think in common with all, however" he shouted "They have declared war to destroy the democratic administration and the liberal government 1t has been espousing under Franklin D. Roose- welt.
 "They call it the Liberty League Oh, liberty. what crimes are com mitted in thy name"
 He doubted that any of those present lever missed meal during the depression" or that they tossed sleeplessly at night over the loss oi 0 farm or home" Woodrum asserted that Smiths unequal ego doubtless was feeding on the applause from a gathering -75 per cent of whom in 1928 started a well known whispering campaign.

 He. Raskob and Jouett Shouse and the other little spoil boys who couldn't take 1t walked out in Ch.- Cago.
 Who do they want to walk out on? The man who named Smith iil three democratic conventions ano who referred to him as the happy warrior"
 Rep. Hamilton Fish, r., N. Y, up. braided Woodrum for his personal attack on Smith and challenged hin to meet the issues laid down b. Smiths address.
 If the gentleman from Virgins had answered Smiths criticism oi the New Deal. perhaps I should not have had to speak, Fish said.
 Fish Defends Smith
 He termed Smith an outstanding American regardless of politics" anc said the former governor showed 1T "clear-cut, definite way how tht New Deal repudiated its platform. How can you say that Smitt walked out on his own democratic party, when the party has gone so- cialistic," Fish demanded.
 Action centered in the house where Rep. Clifton A. Wooddrum d., Va, ridiculed Smiths declara- tion that he would take walk if the 1886 democratic convention re nominated President Roosevelt and reaffirmed the New Deal.
