'SP0|LS SYSTEM
HIT BY HOOVER
Charges New Deal Is At
tempting to Abolish Merit
in Public Service.

Ey the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N Y, Nov. 13.-For-
mer President Herbert Hoover says the
New Deal is attempting to abolish the
merit system In public service and
replace it with personal political
control"
Speaking at the dedication OF Syra-
cuse University's 100000 school of
citizenship. Mr. Hoover referred yes
terday to proposed legislation to "abol-
ish the Civil Service Commission,
which has for 50 years given fine
service and held high standards of
training and freedom from politics in
public service"
'The new plan proposes to substi-
tute one-man control" he declared.
mo matter what the words of that
bill purport to mean, it is clear the
plan is to destroy the progress we have
made and substitute. personal politi-
cal control"
Attacking the spoils system the
former President said "the policies of
the party in power in the Federal
Government can be administered with
less than 100 officials of the elected DO
ntical faith"
"It is a significant fact, he said,
that where the people in local elec-
tions have had the opportunity to
vote directly, they have always been
emphatically for non-political service. /"

the $22,000.000 title suit of the Gov
ernment against the Standard Oil
Co. Of California and others for DOS
session OF $40 acres in the famous

County.
In addition to title, the United
States seeks s7,86s,868 damages, plus

preme Court justice, contended the
land. originally granted by the Gov
ernment to the State, was known to

claims were based on valuation of de-
posits removed from the land by the
oil company.
Attorneys Donald R. Richberg, for
mer N. r. A. chief, and Eugene
Prince argued for the company that
the ruling Of Secretary Ickes in up
holding the Government title was
made without sufficient evidence.

MISS PERKINS, VIEW
IS HAILED BY u. F. W.
Statement Supports Unions Stand
Against Leaving Plants to
Cancellation Board.

In a statement hailed by the United
Federal Workers as supporting their
stand against using the grievance ad-
1ustment machinery of the Concilia-
tion Board of the Labor Department,
Secretary Perkins has advised the
c. 1. Q. affiliate that 'the Department
OF Labor recognizes the right of en-
ployes to be represented by the union
OF which they are members in deal
Ing with responsible officials of the
department in respect to grievances
Or other working conditions falling
within the administrative discretion
OF these officials"
The U. F. w. had complained at
recent regulations promulgated by
the department for adjusting COM
plants through the board, which has
on it representatives of the three en-
ploye organizations. Declaring this
board was of the company union"
type, the U. F. w. demanded the right
TO deal directly with officials for its
eWn members.
The U. F. w. said Miss Perkins
statement makes it clear that use of
the Cancellation Board is optional. !"
Jacob Baker, U. F. w. president, said
It was "a source of qualification to be
assured that Miss Perkins is in har-
mony with President Roosevelt"
The American Federation of Gov
frnment Employees and the National
Federation of Federal Employees said
they had no complaint against the
board.

PaWtucket Racing Plant.
New Troubles Arise.
BY the Associated Press.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 13.-Six
court cases piled in front Of Walter
E. O'Hara today, topped by a Federal
indictment charging the managing di-
rector OF Narragansett Park Race
Track with violation Of the Corrupt
Practices Act.
Removal of troops from his costly
plant at Pawtucket left the parks
managing director free to concentrate
his attention on the court moves.
Facing him were these actions:
An indictment returned by Fed
eral grand jury yesterday charging
that O'Hara and the racing associa-
tion paid "close to 100000 of its
funds within a single year" to persons
and committees closely identified with
political'activities. William A. Shaw
cross, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, and Thomas A. Ken
nelly, former chairman, also were in
dicted.
Criminal Libel CHARGED.
All AiAiStiiCIlb IctuTIlcQ Dy he0L
County grand jury charging criminal
libel OF Gov. Robert E. Quinn. The
indictment, based on an article in
O'Hara's Providence Star-Tribune
was attacked yesterday by O'Hara's
lawyers. They moved to quash the
indictment on the ground that Philip
E. Quinn, ousted high sheriff of Provi-
dence County. lacked authority to
draw the grand jurors.
A criminal libel charge fled by Will
liam E. Beehan of Iarchmount, N. Y.
general counsel OF the Outdoor Adver-
tising Co., who charged OHara called
him "a briber." O'Hara pleaded in
nocent.
Civil Libel Suit.
Beehan's 100000 civil libel suit
brought In Federal Court on the same
grounds.
Gov. Quinn's $500, 900 civil libel suit
filed after O'Hara called him . die
tator" in radio speech.
O'Hara's counter civil suit against
Quinn for the same amount. The
turfman- publisher did not disclose the
grounds for his action.

McGrath said the defendants indicted
yesterday for alleged violation of the

BALANCED. BUDGET
POSSIBLE, SAYS ELY
Cut in Relief Funds Would Bring
Result, Former Governor
Asserts in Attack.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 13.-
Former Gov. Joseph Ely of Massach
sets said last night the national
budget could be balanced tomorrow"
as he attacked the administrator
fiscal policy in an address before the
Connecticut Association of Manu-
facturers.
"Cut down on relief and you can
balance the budget tomorrow" he de-
clared in his extemporaneous talk.
But, he added, "it will take q lot OF
courage to do it now"
Tracing the rise in Government
debt since 1882, an increase he at
tributed largely to relief expenditures,
the former chief executive said the
debt increased by five billion dollars
during the election year of 1886 and
remarked: That's swell campaign
fund"
In the old days." he said, 'it was
only postmasters that we had to take
care of in election years, but today
there are musicians, actors, propa-
gandists and millions Of workers on
the Government pay roll.
II wonder how any Republican was
foolish enough in his exuberance to
delude himself into thinking that a
Republican candidate for President
could be elected in 1882"

When government can say TO a
farmer You shall plant only 30 many
acres to this crop and shall plant SO

farmer becomes slave to government.
THE American farmer is q free
man. He should have the right to use
the land as he sees fit"
