Critics, Friends Discuss Roosevelt Administration

beneficiaries of the governments spending program for refusing to remove as much as one foot from the trough"
 Kennedy told business men to "stop bellyaching," to stop saying that the administration was mo good" and to cooperate with the president in his efforts to improve the economic situation. Cheers and boos greeted his remarks. "Re- gardleSs of what your attitude is" he declared, you are faced with a problem just as every member or the New Deal is, if you represent anything at all in this country. And 1t isn't going to do anybody any good from here on to bellyache, because whether you like 1t or not he (the president) is going to be there three years ri1ore."
 Douglas urged business men, the Republican party and the adminis- tration to cooperate in meeting the "present emergency" The reces- sion, he said, had been magnified by worldwide restrictions on trade, notwithstanding the persistent. he. roic efforts of the secretary of state:" by the effect of monopoliss tic practices in fixing prices of goods, services and capital in limit ing domestic markets, and by defi- cit financing and other government tai policies shat discourage private enterprise"

New York, Dec. S-(UP)-Critics and friends of the Roosevelt ad- immigration debated its future last night at the I22nd dinner Of the Economic club of New York. The onslaught against the administra- ton was led by Lewis w. Douglas, nresident of McGill university in Montreal, who resigned as director of the budget after disagreeing with New Dealers over the governments fiscal policies, and by Senator Car. ter Glass, D., Va. Speakers for the administration were Joseph P. Ken nedy. chairman of the maritime commission and former head of the securities exchange commission, and Wayne o. Taylor, assistant secretary of the treasury, former Chicago hl- vestment banker.
 Approximately l,S00 club members and guests heard Douglas accuse the administration of being largely responsible for the current business recession, and Glass declare that he was opposed to nearly everything that had been done or had been proposed in Washington. Taylor as- serted that confidence in the econo- mic future of the country was jlis- tified by the repeated statements of the president, secretary of the treas- ury Henry Morgenthau, Jrs and members of Congress in favor Of balancing the budget. He attacked special interests" that have been

'MERIDEN MADE Z.
 COMPLETE FLOP
Republicans Regain Con. trol of City After Eight
 Years on Outside
fRy United Pressl

Republicans regained control of the Meriden city administration and swept every ofilce at Rockville, com. plete returns of yesterdays biennial election showed today.
 The election of Francis R. Dana. her, republican, over Mayor Stephen L. Smith, Democrat, at Meriden, was unanticipated. Danaher's plurality was 7SS votes. The Socialist candi- date, Louis O. Krahl, boiled 406 votes, but not enough to sway the result one way or the other.
 The common council which was i7 Democrats and three Republicans, now is composed of ten members from each party with Mayor-Elect Danaher the controlling vote.
 Smith succeeded U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney to that office and had the support of the senator in his campaign. It was the first Republican victory since 1927.
 Mayor Claude A. Mills, Republican, was unopposed at Rockville. Only about one-third of the voters turned out to give the party victory in every office and control of every seat on the common council. Democrats had endorsed the Republican mayor and city clerk and failed to noir- mate for several other ofi1ces.

CHINESE READY
 FOR WAR FINALE
They Are Not Surrender. ing But Prepared to
 Fight to Last Man
BY WELDON JAMES United Press Stan COreSpondent)


 Nanking, Dec. 8--Thousands of Chinese coolies were pressed into the service of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's army today as the gov- ernment made feverish preparations for last stand defense of the capital. United States embassy and naval authorities were ready to maneuver the United States gum boat Panay into a position where 1t could take aboard 13 Americans who have refused to leave the city until the last minute. Theer was no evidence of demoralization among the Chinese, although they were re- treating slowly to positions around the city's east gate where the spear head of the Japanese onslaught was expected.
 Not Guilty of Burning
 It was denied officially that the Chinese were purposely blowing up munition dumps as they fell back. Instead, labor battalions, augmented by thousands of coolies, plodded up to the front with new supplies for the main defense units. Hundreds of Chinese soldiers were completing de- fense works at the north, south and east gates while the labor battalions moved eastward with supplies and ammunition.
 Others were erecting acres of barbed wire entanglements and gun emplacements at many points around the capital.
 Only Chinese troops were visible as far as the eye could sec. 'xhUtis. ands of civilians moving toward the waterfront were warned that the gates would be closed soon.
 In Better Positions
 It was emphasized that the with drawal of the Chinese troops to the city's gates had been Q strategic move to place them in better posi-

 ing Baby in Bed

Austin, Tex, Dec. 8-(UP)-The Spencer Albright family's quiet evening at home came to sudden disaster last night when an army airplane fell from the sky, stove in the rear of the house and killed Q two year old baby in his bed.

He was flying in fog and saw the house just in time to turn of the ignition switch of his motor, thereby doubtlessly preventing a fire and worse disaster in the neigh borhood. The wreckage was sat- urated with the planes gasoline.
 Baby's Brother Saved

throughout the day, the Domel NeWS Agency reported. It said the Japa- nese had met stiff resistance and the final assault on the walls was uncertain. The Japanese forces charged on Nanking from three sides but found a stubborn wall of Chi- nese resistance. There was furi- ous fighting few miles outside the city, directly in line with the east gate. But the Chinese were with. drawing inside the east gate and the Japanese vanguard had not caught up with them. Foreign mili- tary experts here believed that the Japanese were preparing for . final rush toward the east wall following the Chinese retreat.
 Japanese sources declared that heavy artillery pieces were being set up on the summit of Purple moun- tain to dominate the city and the Yangtze river for many miles. The
