Garner Sensed Situation
And Went to Fork Himself

Garner sensed that situation even
before the newspaperSfnen began to
count noses-to add polls of this
delegation to these Of tirat=and find
out that the vote was apt to be dam
gerously close. Realizing the dam
ger, Garner wired Sam Rayburn,
Democratic leader of the house, to
hurry back from Texas and get ON
the job. Then he went to work him.
self.
1t was long association, inspiring
friendship and confidence which
made this so effective. But in the
course of the nearly 40 years in
which Garner has been a factor on
Capitol Hill, hundreds of Democrats
have passed through the house and
senate, and gone back either to pri-
vate life or offices back home which
appealed more to- them.
There are lots of fiukes in politics.
of course. But on the whole an cleo
ton to the house means a good deal
as to the influence and position of
the man elected. This does not en-
tirely disappear even II he retires
to private life. Some vestige Of in
fluence remains. Garner probably
has more friends OF this sort, of
varying degrees of importance and
weight, scattered through the coun-
try than any living man.
All this cannot be added I'D to
make the result that Garner could
defeat Roosevelt for denomination II
the President went after it. There
is no way OF telling how such fight
would work out, though most observ-
ers in Washington would bet on the
President. But there is a growing
number Of Democrats important in
the party who hope the President
will not seek a third term.

Roosevelt Vetoes
Cattle Theft Bill;
Chides Congress
Limit in Extending
Governments Police
Powers Indicated
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
President Roosevelt, vetoing a
Federal cattle-rustling bill, indi-
Gated yesterday the limit to which
he thought the Government should
go In extending its police powers.
With his hearty approval, he said
in a veto message to the Senate,
Congress had enacted legislation
taking Jurisdiction over such major
offenses as kidnapping and bank
holdups and thefts involving prop
erty valued at 5000 or more.
This (cattle theft bill, however,
extends this extension of jurisdic-
ton to bring within its terms nu-
merous offenses of the petty larceny
type" he said.
Chides Congress.
Il am compelled, therefore. to ask
the question: Why does the Fed
eral Government extend its juris-
d1ction over any stolen cattle, hogs,
sheep, horse, mule or the carcass
or hide of any such stolen animal.
and, at the same time, leave out all
other forms Of stolen property of
comparatively low value?
why not by the same theory ex-
tend Federal jurisdiction to the
theft of all other kinds of personal
property-property of a value which
makes the theft a misdemeanor
rather than a crime?"
He vetoed the measure, he said,
with the hope that the Congress
will seriously consider the ultimate
implications of legislation of this
type" He turned down a similar
bill in 1887.
Provisions of Bill.
The vetoed bill would make it a
Federal ofense knowingly to trans
port in interstate or foreign COM
merce or to receive any stolen cattle
or other livestock or the carcass,
hide or any part of a stolen animal.
1t was designed to aid in catching
cattle thieves who use high-powered
trucks to get their loot across State
lines.
The President said the measure
would "encroach on the police
power of several States" and mean
an additional Justice Department
appropriation of about 100000 an
nualy.

PITTSBURGH, Nov 24-Soaring
business activity in the Pittsburgh
district shattered all existing records
last week.
The University of Pittsburgh's sea-
sonally adjusted index reached an
all-time high of 1914, an increase
of 301 over the preceding week
which was a 10-year peak
The whirlwind of general oper-
ations. which has caught up in it's
indraft many hitherto tagging in
dustries such as retail trade, now has
attained a velocity of 125 per cent
in excess of that during the May
low of this year
Figured on the basis of the 1928
1925 average. the university index last
week reached a level Of asa higher
than that of the corresponding week
in 1888 and compares with a mark
of 1108 recorded for the same period
of the 1929 boom area
Further expansion of industry in
the district, less than normal sea-
sonal declines in some businesses,
continuation of the high rate of iron
and steel activity new all-time
high in electric power output and a
substantial rise in carloadings were
principal contributing factors to the
sharp upswing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Retail buy
ing activity reached a new high for
the year this week with the help of
favorable weather and Thanksgiving
preparations, Dun & Bradstreet. said
today in its weekly survey.
The year-to-year advance in trade
for the country as whole was esti-
mated at 8 to 13 per cent.
While store sales were broad in
character, the agency said, pur-
chases of formal wear were heavy
and mems clothing stores reported
their best week this year.
"Clearances of fall merchandise
were advertised in some Cities" the
review stated, but merchants
showed a tendency to defer sales
until later than usual date because
of the strong position of stocks.
Holiday purchasing was reported to
be starting earlier and In heavier
volume than last year. Ex-
panded facilities for credit buying
were said to be playing an important
role In the more active turnover of
expensive lines"
On the wholesale front, the re-
view found trading still character
ized mainly by replacement orders
covering current requirements" with
most of the new business coming
from stores in industrial sections.
