President Against War Referendum

ON.S.) A war referendum, such as is
now pending before the House, is not con-
sistent with representative form of govern
ment, President Roosevelt asserted today.
The Executive disposed of the question
with dispatch at his Friday press conference.
A reporter asked: 'Do you think war
referendum is consistent with representative
form of government"
Mr.. Roosevelt said the best answer was
NO"
Administration leaders in Congress have
been worried by the strength of the Ludlow
resolution to amend the Constitution, so
that declaration of war by Congress is not
valid, unless supported by majority of the
voters in a national referendum. Although
Representative Ludlow has not had the

FRAZIER, LEMKE
URGE FARM AID

GN.SD A campaign to make
permanent the Frazier-Lemke
farmers moratorium act was
opened at a hearing of the House
Judiciary Bankruptcy Subcommit-
tee today.
Senator Frazier and Representa-
tive Lemke, North Dakota Repub-
licans, urged passage of the
Frazier extension bill already ap-
proved by the Senate.
The moratorium law, first en-
acted in 1888, expires next March,
Under it farmers can go into Fed
eral bankruptcy courts, obtain a
three-year moratorium, retain
their farms on payment of rent.
Machinery is also provided for
scaling down mortgages.
The emergency is not over"
said Senator Frazier. 'We also
believe the legislation should be
made permanent to give the
farmer the same privilege as the
business man"
Representative Lemke charged
many Federal district judges are
violating their oaths of office by
refusing to permit farmers to
file petitions under the law.

slightest aid from the Administration, Con-
gress has been flooded with petitions ad-
dressed to individual members of the House
from practically every Congressional dis
trict, urging Congressman to sign petition
that would give the Ludlow resolution right
of-way on the House calendar.
Within the last few days, while the Japa-
nese- China war news has been so ominous
these petitions quadrupled in number, result
ing in a sufficient number of signers in the
House of Representatives to give the Ludlow
resolution 21S names, which will force some
kind of early consideration of the measure.
1t is no secret that the State Department,
together with the War and Navy Depart
ments, is looking to the President to stop
the Ludlow resolution.

Is Marked

Mans mastery of the skies was
observed throughout the country
today, the thirty-fourth anniver-
sary of the first flight of an air
plane, by the Wright brothers at
Kitty Hawk, N. c.
Orville Wright, who with his
brother, the late Wilbur Wright,
invented the first plane success
fully to fly, is in Washington,
where yesterday he attended a
meeting of the National Advisory
Council for Aeronautics.
INVITED TO DINNER
Wright left Washington today
for New York, where he will be
guest of honor at a dinner to be
given tonight by the Institute of
Aeronautical Sciences, which elect
ed him a fellow.
He has been invited to attend
the dinner to be given by the Aero
Club Of Washington at the Shore
ham Hotel tonight in honor of his
first flight.
A squadron of Navy planes will
fly from Norfolk today to Kitty
Hawk, and aerial demonstrations
will be held in other cities.
Wright said today he never
dreamed the airplane would be
utilized as wars most destructive
weapon.
It didn't. know the world
would go crazy" the 66-year-old
inventor stated, IT thought the
airplane would bring peace" he
said. II thought it would
bring war home to the people
of every land.

planes would be developed as
they have. We didn't dream
that there would be such de-
fensiYe equipment as aircraft
guns"
If you had known what the
plane would be, would you have
gone forward with your inven-
tion?" Wright was asked.
I'VE didn't think of it at the
time. We had no idea. It was
to us an interesting experiment,
purely a matter of science" he
replied.

HOOUer Gives
'NeW Deal
Substitute

CHICAGO, Dec. II Q.N.S).
FormCr President Herbert Hoover
today offered the country a redeal
of the New Deal.
The nations onetime Chief Ex-
ecutive put his stamp Of approval
on the reform objectives Of his
successor in the White House, but
he caustically condemned the
method used to achieve them, and
outlined a substitute.
Marking a radical departure
from Republican statements in
recent years confined to attacks
on the Roosevelt administration,
Hoover'S talk before the Econom
les Club last night was mainly
concerned with an alternative
system"
Planned economy" he de
nounced. For, he declared, Amer
leans should have the right to plan
their own lives in so far as they do
not injure their neighbors. They
want, he said, rewards to go to the
winners of the race, and do not
want to be planed down to a pat
tern.
With intellectual and spiritual
freedom as the foundation, he
said our civilization must forge
ahead by utilizing every new in
vention and mechanical weapon
at hand. He added:
1--WE must work ollr machines
heartlessly, but not our men
and women. Thus we can sell
goods cheaper. More people can
buy and thereby we have more
Jobs and better wages. New
articles add to the standard Of
living. That is the road to more
jobs. It is the cure for tenn
porary machine displacement"
In regard to the Government,
he admitted a need to regulate
business but not for limitation OF
production.

Gently awarded by United States
District Court jury in favor Of
Miss Erma Dabbs, 300-pound pass
enger in Dodds' Diamond cab when
it crashed into a tree on September
Is, 1895.
Justice o. r. Luhring denied the
defendants motions for a new

noted, fixed the supersedeas bond
at $1,000.
Miss Dabbs was represented by
Attorney Dorsey K. Offutt, who
told the jury that Dodds had been
engaged by a group of persons to
drive them to Annapolis to attend
a dance. He became intoxicated
before they returned, Offutt said,
and his cab crashed into a tree,
killing one member of the party
and causing Miss Dabbs to sustain
permanent injuries. She has been

HOOVER VIEWED
AS KEEPING HAT
lin RING FOR 1910
His Speech and Choice
Of Dr.. Frank Are Cited
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

I.N.S.) Rank and file Repub-
licans in Congress rather reluc-
tantly concluded today that ex-
President Hoover's hat is still in
the ring for the 1910 nomination,
after perusing his speech before
the Economic Club of Chicago, in
which the former President at
tackled the New Deal and out
lined a recovery program of his
own.
Certainly, they agreed, Mr..
Hoover did nothing and said
nothing to indicate he has any in
tention of emulating the example
of ALI M. Landon, the 1886 stand
ard bearer, in removing himself
from any sort Of consideration.
Governor Landon was acclaimed
for his stand by those Republicans
who wish to slough off the old and
defeated leadership and try new
talent.
NO ECHO HEARD
But they read the Hoover speech
today in vain for any answering
echo to Governor Landon's declar-
alton. They found instead what
appeared to them to be something
like a Hoover platform for 1910,
even as there was being framed in
st. Louis a policy committee"
along the lines the former Presi.
dent has advocated for months.
LANDON'S CHALLENGE
Governor Landon said last week
that so long as a man was Sus-
pected Of being a candidate he
could not render the proper kind
Of service either to his country
or his party. Therefore, said the
KanSan, he wished to state un-
equivocally that he would not ac-
cept denomination If it were Of
fered him in 1910.
The Landon statement, at the
time and since, was widely inter.
preted as an open initiation to
Mr.. Hoover to make a similar
declaration, thus clearing the
party atmosphere, and opening
wide the gate for an infusion of
new blood in the ageing arteries
Of the COP.
The selection of DR.. Glenn
Frank, former president of the
University of Wisconsin, as chair
man of this policy committee
further depended the suspicion of
congressional Republicans concern
ing Mr.. Hoover's possible ambi-
tions for 1910. Franks selection
was eminently satisfactory to the
Hoover wing of the party, which,
in fact, advocated it. Moreover,
the list of those appointed to
serve under Franks Craftsmanship
includes many of the ex-President's
friends in business and profes,
Sional life.

Vote on Farm Bill
BurkLey Calls for Final Action Today;
Effort to Limit Debate Fails
By ROBERT A. McGILL

GNS) Administration leaders cracked the whip
belou Senate today lamnue drive to enact farm re-
habtaon program adjournment of the special session
of Congress- tentatively for Wednesday, Majority Leader
BarkIev pleaded for by nightfal.
The Washington times., 1937-12-17

Rarkley convened the Senate
at II a. m, an hour earlier, fol
loving the second consecutive
night session which saw little
accomplished and wound up in
wrangle over minor amend
ment.
DEBATE UNLIMITED
Unanimous consent requests for
limitation of debate were blocked
by Senators Frazier (R) of North
Dakota, and McAdoo CD of Cal
ifornia. McAdoo demanded un-
limited time to discuss his sub
stitute bill, based on the domestic
allotment program. Frazier said
he expected to talk for an hour
on a similar measure sponsored
by Senator Lee CD Of Okla
homa.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace urged prompt passage of the
bill so it can be sent to confer
ence with the House for settle
ment of difference between the
House and Senate bills. His call
for speed was contained in a let
ter to Senator SmatherS CD of
New Jersey, demanding that he
declare whether he is for or
against the bill.
WALLACE'S VIEWS
Wallace told Smathers he was
opposed to the So-called two
price or domestic allotment amend
mentS," which, he said, might
jeopardize the Administrations
reciprocal trade program, but ex-
pressed belief "a better" bill could
be worked out in conference with
the House.
The bills sponsors suffered
their first defeat on a major issue
when a bipartisan bloc passed an
amendment protecting dairy in
terests from additional competi-
tion. Sponsored by Minority
Leader McNary, of Oregon, it
would withhold benefit payments
from wheat, corn and cotton pro
ducers diverting soil conservation
crops into competition with dairy,
livestock and poultry interests. 1t
was passed, Al to 38.
BY vote of 80 to 26 the Senate
rejected an amendment which
would have authorized the Com
modify Credit Corporation,
through the RF'C, to purchase
100000 bales of 1887 cotton at
10 cents per pound. 1t was spon-
Sored by Senator Smith (D) of
South Carolina.
FINE MODIFIED
Smith then offered the amend
ment in the form of separate
bill and it was referred to the agri-
culture committee of which he is
chairman.
Without a record vote, the Sen
ate modified the proposed fine for
wheat and farm growers who fail
to keep routine records of produc-
ton for the Secretary of Agricul-
ture under the new program, from
$1,000 to $500.
When the Senate recessed
around midnight the farm bloc
was wrangling over an amendment
which would appropriate $1,000
900 to the Commerce Department
for development of new markets
for agricultural products. 1t was
introduced by Senator Ellender
CD of Louisiana.
