HOOvER-SMITH
 BURY HATCHETS
Rival 1928 Presidential Candidates Share Plat.
 form at Boys Party

New York, June 6 - tU.P) - Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith buried the political hatchet last night and raised their voices joint- ly in c common cause.-the welfare of boys.
 The rival presidential candidates of 1928 shared the platform at 0 banquet of the Boys Club of Amer ica, Inc, of which MT. Hoover IS board chairman and good-humored- ly recalled their battles when the oen was president and the other his unsuccessful Democratic opponent,
 MT, Hoover referred to Smith as "goyernor" and Smith spoke Of MT. Hoover as "tfe presiedent."
 Tn Introducing Smith, the former chief executive said:
 We have had our differences, but I have always admired and respect. cd him for his ability, his integrity, his rugged intellect and his zeal and devotion to the public interest"
 To which Smith replied:
 We didn't differ 30 very much. TO my way of thinking, the great difference was made by the voters" "
 Smiths speech consisted chiefly in "reminiscences of his east side boyhood, Mr. Hoover, surveying the development of boys clubs, spoke of the loss of freedom elsewhere in the world and added.
 we gre concerned to build mah- hood which will contend against these pressures of degeneration. The Issue before the American people today depends as much on their souls as their weapons"
 In his conclusion-Which might have been suggested by Smiths career~-Mr. Hoover said;
 Tn the final analysis the only kind of society that counts IS one which holds that in the poorest born and the least privileged boy there Is the material of greatness.
 "The congested areas Of our cities are not kind to boys. They do not naturally develop his talents, his personality, his honor and his vir- tue.
 And the boy asks little In life. He has marvellous powers Of adaptation. He goes blithely on his way, Q smile on his face, intent on his big con. cc"as--survival, achievement and play.
 what he needs is to have e door open where he can pursue his great adventures in moral and physical safety"
