'Priming the PoI|s.'

BACKGROUND
President Roosevelt last peek
outlined to Congress and the Na-
f1on ne1D pump-prin,ing program,
important features being nen relief
spending and resumption OF pub
lie Uorks financing Legislation to
carry out the program wiH arise in
House ,pith the Appropriations
Committee to begin consideration
this tpeek.
BY the Associated Press.
Republicans took the lead today
IN denouncing President Roosevelt S
$4,000 100000 relief-recovery program,
apparently giving up the strategy by
which they sometimes let anti-New
Deal Democrats direct the assaults on
administration measures.
Republican Chairman John Hamil-
ton and Senator Arthur Vandenbere
Republican, of Michigan criticized the
huge pump printing" proposals as
unsound in radio speeches last night
Their outspoken opposition was in
contrast to Republican tactics dur
ing the Supreme Court fight, when
Mr.. Vandenberg wrote a lengthy
speech. but never delivered it. In the
recent Government reorganization
fight, congressional Republicans again
left the generalship of the attack to
Democrats.
Administration leaders, however.
predicted only a smattering Of votes
would be cast against the President S
economic recommendations on which
hearings will begin Monday.
The legislation, now being drafted
was major topic for Mr.. Roosevelt &
weekly conference with congressional
lieutenants late this morning.
Adjournment Predicted.
After the meeting. House Majority
Leader Rayburn reiterated a predic-
ton that Congress would adjourn be-
tween May 20 and June l.
Mr.. Rayburn, Vice President Gar.
ner and Speaker Bankhead attended
the customary Monday conference
with the President before he left for
his office. Senate Majority Leader
Barkley was out of the city.
We just had a nice quiet little talk
with no decisions on anything Mr..
Rayburn said. adding that taxes came
IN for incidental mention.
Newsmen questioned Mr.. Garner on
the White House steps about report
ne was strongly opposed to the Pres
ldent's new spending program.
I am going to get into my automo-
bile" Mr.. Garner replied and doing
so, drove of.
The same questions were directed
at Stephen Early. White House secre-
tary. He referred to President Roose-
velts previous statement to q press
conference that such reports were
made out Of whole cloth.
The leaders reiterated they believed
the recovery-relief program would be
framed in one bill.
"Priming the Polls"
Chairman Hamilton, replying to the
Presidents "Fireside Chat" declared
Mr.. Roosevelt was more interested in
"priming the polls" for the November
congressional elections than in "prim-
ing the pumps of recovery"
National security. Mr.. Hamilton
said, can not be based on "profligate
spending" He cited $4,000 ZOO, 900
OF Federal expenditures during five
years of the Roosevelt administration
IN support Of his contention.
He asserted the administration had
chosen do nothing" program for
the last seven months, and declared
the officers OF the ship of state "sulked
in their cabins" ignoring Republican
demands for abandonment of eco

, HOW TO SEE FOOTBALL
THE BLOCKING BACK
he knows his job.
BY JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Sports Writer

Few were the cheers for men like Earl Britton, Ernie Pinckert, and Marty Brill. They were the blocking backs-the boys who seldom lug the ball themselves but who in one re- Epect may be considered the most valuable man in any teams back xield.
 This is the day of guards and tackles pulling out of the line to lead interference, but because of his greater speed the blocking back is the one who forms the closest protection in conveying ball car- Tier around end or down field.
 Although the formation varies, the blocking back usually will be the one closest to the line of scrim- mage. exclusive of the kingback, when the backs take their shift.
 Once past the line of scrimmage the blocking back Is much more ef- fective than the running guard or tackle because he takes the ball. carrier goal-ward at full speed. Un-

Operating from a single wing with balanced line, Washington found a strong side spinner its most effec- tive play as the Huskies gained a l2-l2 tie with Idaho.
 The ball comes back to Johnson in the tailback position, who half spins and fakes to Cruver cutting behind him, and to the left. Newton, the blocking back, cheeks the de- lending right tackle while the Wash- ington end slips on through to taIe out the defensive left halfback.
 Miller, the Washington wingback, helps his guard check the defending left guard, while the Washington right tackle and end block the op- posing tackle and end respectively.
 Johnson slips through the hole for sizeable yardage before being downed by the deep secondary.

TODANS SPORTAPARADE. :! bS&Ml9B!
By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Oct. 12-(UP)-Out of the welter of rumor and counted rumor that was swept this harried world since Europe teetered on the brink of war, there came today one clear, decisive, authentic note.
 Ace Parker has a moustache.
 Who is Ace Parker?
 He Is quarterback of the Brooklyn Dodgers, leaders in the National Professional Football league.
 News of Parker's moustache reach. ed me by a motorcycle courier who had raced madly from Brooklyn, stopping only for red lights, traffic snarls, and a fiat tire. Spent and worn, his face lined with fatigue (partly from his mad ride, partly from living in Brooklyn) he tumbl- ed off his machine and thrust a great envelope into my hand.
 Of the same size and texture as the envelopes used by foreign gov- ernments for documents of tremen- dous importance. 1t was stamped important Rush!"
 With trembling fingers I opened 1t.
 First I found a curt little note which said: Note to Editors: In- formation contained in this article was received by long distance tele- phone, and is authentic.
 ASA ttaa,a fIio otnrx 1tya]aY a TT0rt Wayne, Indiana, date line:
 "Ace Parker has grown @ nous- tache. In next Sundays game against the Green Bay Packers, Parker will officially become the first moustached big league football player.
 '"The Brooklyn Dodgers quarter back started 1t Just for fun by Sunday the scrubby growth was a subject for chiding, and Parker made up his mind to shave 1t of.
 Then the Dodgers beat that Pitts burgh Pirates and leaped into first place.
 Parker Is superstitious about making changes when the team is winning.
 "T only hope" Parker said, that 1t doesn't lead to @ penalty for @ screened pass"
 Many a great story has passed through my fingers since I started in newspaper work. I am an old man now, bent and tired, and the butt of the office boys jokes as I sit in my dusty little corner, a green shade protecting feeble eyes. Yes, many a great story-Dewey at Man fla, Dewey at the Hines trial. The Titantic. Gettsburg, the Alamo, the Johnstown flood. The Louisiana purchase, Ticonderoga, and York town. Burr and Hamilton, the bat- tie of Hastings and many, many others.
 But the story of Parker's mous- tache is the greatest of them all. Not only because of the importance of the fact 1t contained. but also because of the simple and yet mag nificent way in which the story was told. Where, in all literature, will you find more majestic line than:
 "Then the Dodgers beat the Pitts burgh Pirates and leaped into first place."
 It will stick in my memory fore- ever.
 Yes, I'm afriad 1t will.
