Roosevelt and Tobey
Exchange Charges
In Census Dispute
Enumerotor May Be
First to Hear Third-Term
PIons, President Says

Still in hiding on the third-term
issue, President Roosevelt was en-
gagged in a robust exchange Of ac-
cusations and recriminations today
with Capitol Hill conversationalists
on the content Of the 1910 census.
Flowing out of his press confer
ence yesterday, in which the Presi-
dent repulsed the most varied and
intensive barrage of third-term
questions yet directed at him, the
trading OF razor-edged remarks over
the census was given impetus by
Mr.. Roosevelt's declaration that re-
sistance to certain of the proposed
census questions "is a political move.
Everybody accredited to Congress
knows that is the sole motive"
Wherewith, Senator Tobey, Re-
publican of New Hampshire, and
sponsor Of a resolution modifying
the schedule of census questions.
promptly replied that "as a purveyor
and producer Of politics, the Presi-
dent is a past master, but in his
statement he creates a smoke screen
to cover it up" Then he added:
"Angered and incensed, the Amer
lean people cry out, Hold!
Enough!'"
Jests on Third Term.
The argument even included a
jesting comment from the Presi-
dent that the census taker mighe be
the first to learn his third-term
plans.
After Mr.. Roosevelt jovially turned
aside direct press conference uues-
tions about his political intentions.
reporters told him of an Evening
Star cartoon showing a census taker
inquiring whether he had a mort
gage on the White House.
The President solemnly said he
might answer the question if a real
census taker asked it. But even
such a scoop couldn't be printed, he
added, for census returns are con-
fidential.
The Chief Executive said he had
not read column by Ernest K.
Lindley quoting an unnamed South
ern congress member as saying that
Mr.. Roosevelt wished to retire and
regarded Secretary Hull as a desir-
able successor.
Asked whether the story was true,
the President referred to another
newspaper column quoting Thomas
Jefferson as defining newspaper ma
terial as either news, probabilities,
possibilities or lies. He declined to
say in which category Mr.. Lindley's
column belonged.
Smith Supposed Confidant.
The President added, jokingly
that Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of
South Carolina had asked him to
read the article because Mr.. Roose-
velt's conf1dant was supposed to be
Senator Cotton Ed" Smith, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina, a New Deal
foe
Senator Byrnes had no comment.
and Senator Smith said he had not

one democratic right we have here ,
Mr.. Katz said.
He suggested provision of a legis-
lative city council, chosen by pro.
portional representation. the counci
to elect a mayor or city manager
Mr.. Katz contended the present Dis.
trict government was inefficient.
Appointive Council Opposed.
Henry L. Colman, representing
the Northwest Citizens Council, de.
clared the present form of govern.
ment was "obsolete, antiquated anc
not efficient" but said he was not
attacking the municipal personnel
Acting Chairman Nichols asked
him if the committee should not
recommend election of city off,
cials, who could appoint the pro-
posed advisory council, assuming
| there would be one.
Mr.. Colman replied his group
was not in favor of any kind of ap-
pointive council, that such a one
would not be representative.
Mr.. Nichols withdrew his hypo-
thetical question, saying he was
merely seeking advice and had no
intention of trying to compromise
the witness.
Mr.. Colman protested against ad-
mlnistration of District zoning laws,
citing the action of the Zoning
Commission in granting commercial
use at Wisconsin avenue and Abe
marie street NV. where a Sears.
Roebuck q Co. retail store is
planned. He predicted the devel-
opment would result in eventual
abandonment of the Janney School.
There was long discussion of the
case, but Mr.. Nichols ended it
with a declaration it had no direct
bearing on reorganization.
Meanwhile, leaders in several
washington civic organiza tions took
issue with the suggestion of Mr..
Wender that a majority of Wash
lngton residents would be willing to
give up the Federal payment, if
necessary, as price to be paid for
the granting of the vote here.
Mr.. Wender made the declaration
yesterday during the heat of a de-
bate on various phases of the pro-
posed reorganization of the District
government. While it was inter-

tainment.

ure. Friday evenings events were
