Committee men have been given
the war jobs of increasing acre

creasing production of the es-

these things can be done by the
county agents in their spare

Warren SaysNew Deal
Has Gone 10 Pieces
Like 0ne-Horse Shay
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Gov. Earl
Warren of California said today the
New Deal has gone to pieces like
the wonderful one-horse shay
There is no dominating principle
that holds the New Deal together at
this time" he said at a breakfast
of the John Ericsson Republican
Club. "We have an incongruous
group of people who do not believe
alike and are held together by pa
tronage, which is not for the best
interests of this Nation"
Gov. Warren said that although
current polls indicate President
Roosevelt is in the lead in Cali
fornia, there is nothing the matter
with our campaign in California
that cannot be cured by hard work. .
The Republican party is reju-
venated party" he asserted Gov.
Dewey was splendidly received in
California. He put new life in our
campaign We believe we're going
to do all right on November 7.
"You always have an uphill fight
when opposing the administration
in power" he added. But the peo-
pie in this country are ready for a
change. The New Deal-giving
them all credit for being liberal at
the outset-has gone to pieces like
the wonderful one-horse shay"

A reporter reminded Mrs. Roose-
velt that October II will be her 60th
birthday anniversary. an age in
which she has often said people
were no longer expected to do very
much. Her secretary, sitting beside
her, said under her breath, That s
a myth, I'm afraid"
In connection with the Presidents S
political speaking plans, the White
House earlier today reiterated pre-
vious statements that Mr.. Roosevelt
has made no plans beyond the
speech scheduled for Thursday
night.
Presidential Secretary Stephen r.
Early said published reports of other
addresses probably grew cut of the
fact the Democratic National Com
mittee plans to ask the President
to make other talks.
The speech Thursday night, to be
directed to Democratic party
workers throughout the country,
will last 20 minutes, Mr.. Early said.
The program is scheduled to 60 on
the air between 10 and 1890 p.m.,
and the President is to start speak
ing at 1905. 1t will be the Presi-
dents second avowed campaign
speech since his denomination.
Mr.. Roosevelt has said on two
occasions recently that this address
is the only one he has in sight.

DR.. Rumely, he said, was connected
then with a group known as the
Committee for the Nation.
According to Justice Department
records DR.. Rumely was indicted ir
1919 and convicted in 1920 on
charges of violating the Trading With
the Enemy Act. The charges grew
out Of his alleged purchase of stock
in New York newspaper corpora
ton for the German government
before this country entered the war,
and subsequent concealment of the
true ownership from the alien prop
erty custodian.
The records also show that evil
dence was introduced during his
trial to the effect that he was in
oebted to the German government
for more than $1,000,0O0.
DR.. Rumely's sentence on that
conviction, calling for imprison-
ment in the Atlanta Federal Peni-
tentiary for year and a day, was
commuted to less than a year by
President Coolidge This had the
effect Of clearing his record of serv-
ing a sentence for a felony, which
would have deprived him of GER
tain citizenship rights.
Meanwhile, Chairman Anderson
said yesterday the committee does
not plan to continue its investiga-
ton OF reports that the father of

of Indiana had been required by
