 Tn the years ahead we face Q national debt of S300,0 ,000, 100000" he said. We face an annual cost Of government including adequate armed forces, far above the level Of pre-war years. Just to meet the in. terest on this debt and the cost of government we shall need large federal revenues. But it Is stupid to suppose that we can support our government by levying heavy tax es upon c dwindling national in" come.

 "Of course we cheerfully pay high taxes to meet the cost of war;" he said. But the taxes we are paying today are not just for war. They also go to pay for the waste ana extravaganza of the sprawling bu. reaucracy built up by the New Deal in these last i2 games"

 At e:30 .. m., shortly after the first day shifts were due on the job, officials of nine plants report. cd operations were shut down be- cause of the absence of mainten- ance crews.
 First plants reported closed were six operated by the Briggs Manu- facturing Company, two by the Chrysler Motor Car Company, one by the L, A. Young Spring x Wire Company.
 other factories were expected to went out of adjustment without experts on hand to make repairs.
 The Ford Motor Company's huge Willow Run bomber plant and It's main River Route plant were among those thus threatened. Few Tnains tenance workers were on the jobs company spokesman said.
 The workers struck ct the end of c 24-hour ultimatum to the Na- tionAl War Labor Board demand panel be sent here from Washing ton to investigate what they de- ciaTed were unfair wage rates. They contend production workers rates are higher.
 The waikouts began despite pleas to local leaders by international officers to postpone such drastic actino pending c second WLB meeting on the matter ct Wash- ington today.
 Until the first walkout this morning, hope had been held that union members would accede to the international leaderships request made after Q Detroit union dele- gatlon en houte to Washington was delayed by weather which ground cd their plane yesterday in Penn- sylvafaia.

 Smith Dies At 70
(Centinued from Page D

Shortly afterward he met and be- gan courting Catherine Dunn, Bell' of Oliver street and daughter Of ( moderately prosperous ships chana' Ter. .,
 smith was earning S75 month when he married Miss Dunn. They moved Into Q small flat and begaf their life together that continued until her death. Mrs. Smith onet wrote for publication that "f A had gone on being Q clerk 1t wouie have been all right with me,
 The Smiths had Ave children Capt, Alfred E, smith, Jr~ of th' Army: walter J. Smith and Mrs John A, Warner. both of New YorF city. and Mrs, Francis J. Qullllnar and Arthur W. smith, both Of Rye N. Y.
 smith travelled politically upward fast as far as he could go. HIS apil. ity and wide acquaintance brought him tho Democratic leadership oi the New York state assembly n 1911, He reached the governor mansion in Albany in 1918. HIS de' feat for reelection as governor in 1922 set tho stage for his doomed presidential aspirations,
 At the 1924 Democratic National convention, Smiths lieutenants hac the hall dotted with hidden sirens At the proper moment, bedlam broke out in old Madison Square Garden but even young Franklin Delano Rooseyelts nomi n alton speech lacked the necessary magic. and the nomination went to John w. Davis.
 Tn 1928, the presidential nomina- ton fell In Smiths lap, and the nation promptly settled down to one of the most partisan campaigns in years-Hoover Vs. Smith. Fam. Ilies were divided on the issue, and religious feeling hit Q fever pitch. Al smith was c devout Roman Cath. olic.
 Smiths bandwagon was noisy, but weak in the axles. He carried only eight states. Surveying the wreck age, Smith saw little remaining ex- cept the political and personal friendship of such influential sup- porters as the man who had noni- mated him twice-Tranklin D. Roosevelt.
 Smith reorganiEed the Democratic National committee and was making strides in the 1882 campaign when he realized that Mir. Roosevelt was travelling Q separate road.
 The 1882 Democratic convention in Chicago made everything clear. Smith arrived with Q scattering of support and instantly assumed lead. ership of the "stop Roosevelt" movement Smiths cloture forced nightlong session of the convention which remained deadlocked until the following day when William c. McAdoo steered California's votes to Roosevelt.
 Smith left the convention and his departure pregaged his action in 1886 when he joined . coalition of wealthy Democrats in the American Liberty League to stop Roosevelt. At an elaborate dinner to launch the league, Smith declared his in- tenti0n to take walk".
 He ignored the Democratic Na- tlohal convention that year, and Supported Alfred M. kandon, tho Republican nominee. That "Waik"

are entitled to c candid presentation from their own President who has SO far remained silent. For my own part, I feel that great principles are involved and can and must be sus- tained, to the end that the post war period will permit us to have effective, cooperative international organization equal to the task of supressing such waflton aggression as has stricken the world, and in the course of my campaign I shall discuss the matter fully. ! will not do 60 under the auspices Of group which calls Itself non-partisafl, but which has its mind made up and which endorses my opponent.

husbands of the daughters and the wives of the sons,
 Seventy years old, Smith had been III most of the summer, following the death of his wife, Catherine, on May {. He was transferred from St, Vincent hospital to the Rockefeller Institute hospital three weeks ago and had been at the point of death since Saturday, After rallying brief ly yesterday afternoon, his condition grew steadily worse during the night and eliminated in tho seizure from which he did not recover,
 Among the scores of floral trib. utes arriving at the hospital last night, were a dozen American Beauty roses and the card of Pres ident and Mrs. Roosevelt. It could not be learned If Smith knew that the man who first called him "T'he Happy Warrior" in nominating him for president ct the Democratic con. vention in 1928 and was his success fui rival for the nomination in 1892, was thinking of him sympathetical- ly as he lay dying.
 Dr. Sullivan said "the immediate cause of death was the lung con- gestion which developed Monday night and acute heart failure" The cause of Smiths long illness, he continued, was intestinal and liver disturbances,
 Those who had known Alfred Emanuel Smith intimately over the years said that he never recovered from the shock of his wife's death. Mrs. Catherine Dunn Smith, the woman who bore him Ave children, and watched his political career build up from @ Tammany leader to the Governors chair ct Albany and reach It's eminence as his party's presidential candidate, died on May {, io44, of pneumonia after Q i've weeks illness.
 Smith went into virtual retire ment then. He took no part in the lD44 presidential campaign, either for or against his one-tine political enemy, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Happy Warrior" of other years, the man who had grown up on the sidewalks of New York, was vir- tually Q political ghost i6 years after he had unsucceSsfully bid for the presidency on the Democratic ticket
 Al smith was born Dec. 30. 1878, in an Irish community on New Ycrk's Oliver street. His birthplace was only e short distance from the 18th street Tafamaiiy Wigwail, home of the political creed that there would always be coal.in-thes cellar for Q vote-on -the-line.
 Tn parochial school, Smith found c stage for his inherent love of dralnatics. If there was c fat coIil- edy part in Q school play, the sister in charge of dramatics knew iiIi- erringly whom to cast in 1t. Young Al played the tragedian with equal success. He still had acting on his mind when at l4 he quit school to help out ct home after his fathers death. He made a brief try ct run. ming his fathers teametef business, then found Q job in the Fulton Fish market before deciding that politics was his field.
 At al, he went on tho public pay- roll as clerk in the oface Of the New York commlesioner of Jurors.
