Charges Distortion of
Income Figures.
by the fsscciated Press

BY the + SIC ciated Press.
Col Frank Knox, Republican candi-
date for Vice President in 1896, ac-
cused President Roosevelt last night Of
"distorting" national income figures in
his -freside chat last night.
In a statement issued by the Re-
publican National Committee, the Chi
cago publisher said the address was
"as weak a demonstration of states
manship as this country has ever
seen"
Col Knox disputed the Presidents
assertion that the income OF all per-
sons in the United States was s38.-
00O. 10000 in 1882. Department Of
Commerce records he said. showed the
total to be $4S,362, ,000, 600.
What Is important" Col Knox
added, ''is that the national income
estimated by the President for this
year Of $4,000, ,000. .000-a figure re-
garded as much too high by some
experts-is less than $4,000 ,000, 600
more than the national income ac-
tually paid out in 1882 after three
years Of worldwide depression.
"Of greater significance is the fact
that this year will mark the first
time in the country's history that
the national income has receded be-
fore passing the previous high record.
In other words. despite all the bally-
hoo and gliding OF the lily. the New
Deal at no time has restored this
country to the level Of prosperity
previously enjoyed and now We are
again scraping bottom"
In another statement assailing the
Presidents speech. Representative

County Board Votes to
Reconsider Act

ROCKVILLE, Md, Feb. 25.
Residents of the Eastern suburban
area of Montgomery county were
confident today they had emerged
victorious in a fight to halt apart
ment house construction along
Sligo Greek Parkway, when the
Montgomery county commits
sioners yesterday voted to recon
slider their recent approval Of re-

A local real estate firm had pc

from residential "a" to &C" for a

gomery and Houston Avenues
along Sligo Creek Parkway and
adjacent to residential area.
VOTE OKAYS CHANGE
Despite vigorous protest from
residents of the area the commits
sioners by vote Of three to two

change. BY like vote the COM
missioners decided to reconsider
their action yesterday.
On the first vote Commissioners

to q magazine after it was de-
MED to the press.
But there is another group
which believes the joke is not on
the newspapers or the President,
but on the magazine.
If Mr.. r. can get $75, 900 or rs
cents for dead news, all the i'm
portant points of which were

inclined to raise the point that
the price may be based on the
dignity of the office rather than
the weight Of the dead horse.
THERE is turmoil in veterans
u ranks over the House bill Of
fering pensions to widows and
orphans Of World War veterans.
Truth is, the little known
House Pensions Committee stole
. march on the veterans organi-
cations and the House Veterans
Committee (Which generally
handles all veterans legislation)
by reporting out the bill.
A private agreement is sup
posed to have been made among
the veterans organizations that
they would not ask for pensions
at this time. They got the
bonus in 1885 and thought they
had better wait until that was

forgotten before starting to
reach for pensions.
They well knew that by ask
ing for too much they probably
would start a backfire, and pos
sibly a Congressional investigs-
ton. The unorthodox action Of
the upstart House committee is
justifying their fears. A reSolu-
ton has been proposed by Cos
tello Of California providing
such an investigation.
But, worse still, the bill Is
likely to be passed if brought
to a vote. AS you may have

self facing an Administration
move to remove him from the
Senate. He has been eXceS-
sively annoying in the matter
of the prevailing wage.
Latest instance: Senate
Leader Barkiey left out of the
Congressional Record q long
speech he had made during the
Senate debate on the housing
bill conference report. Appar-
emily Barley is not shy about
publicity. All his other daily
speeches have been recorded.
But this one was an explanation
of why he had changed from
supporting the Lodge amend
ment.
1t was a fairly good explana-
tlon as lar as political eXplana-
tionS 60, but as everyone knows
Kentucky's Governor Chandler
is looking for every defect in his
record in prospect of combating
his reelection. The speech was
not what would be considered
a good Barkley campaign
speech.
Senator Lodge. wholly un-
mindful of Ba1kley's difficulties,
noticed that these eight pages

ing from the record. He In.
sisted publicly that they be
printed, was promised that they
would be, became impatient
when they were not and finally
went to Senator Barkley
privately. The annoying Mr..
Lodge is said to have insisted
that If the speech was not in
the record by a certain time the
following day, he would per-
sonally arise and read the
speech to the Senate. Mr..
Barkley's few words of reply
are said to have been better
than the speech, but probably
not for little tots and certainly
not for the record.
Before the Lodge ultimatum
expired, the speech appeared in
the Record, thereby being pre-
served for posterity and
Governor Chandler, through the
wholly inconSiderate efforts of
Mr.. Lodge.
A NEW Administration policy
"A seems to be formulating
permitting public officials to
broadcast as private citizens"
what they know they should not
say as public officials.
First example was that of son
James Roosevelt, who jumped
out Of his official White House
personality for a few minutes in
Florida to say he personally was
for reelection Of Senator Pepper.
Latest was the broadcast by In
terror Secretary Ickes, exclu-
sively to the British Isles, advo-
eating an alliance of democra-
cies against dictators.
Inner indications are that in
both instances. son James and
honest Harold were speaking Of
ficially, but did not care to take
official responsibility for what
they said. In the case Of Ickes,
there is ground for believing the
Administration put him up to
the speech to offset the impress
sion in England that Chamber
lain was being forced to play
ball with the dictators because
the United States would not CO.
operate.
