| Hoover. Declares
| Americans Are Cool
To Franklin S Thrift
BY me As.oeia,ed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Former
President Hoover said today
Americans have strayed from the
wisdom and advise of Benjamin
Franklin, especially in matters
Of thrift and spending.
Referring to the philosophers
advise on liberty, frugality. thrift
and work. Mr.. Hoover said the
American people practiced the
slogans "for quite a while"
However. he said, that was
before we discovered the theory
Of spending ourselves into pros
perity"
The former President made
his address over the Columbia
Broadcasting System network in
connection with a meeting of the
International Benjamin Frank
lin Society. Ic.
Gentle Criticism.
He was presented with the
Society'S gold medal, awarded
annually for distinguished serv-
ice. The occasion was the
society's 31st annual meeting
and the 248th anniversary of
Franklin's birth.
Mr.. Hoover's address was
marked by gently ironic criticism
of Government affairs. which he
illustrated by quotations from
Franklin.
He said Franklin would be in
for many shocks" if he were
alive, but with his magnificent
sense of humor, he might just
laugh"
"Some way I feel Ben might
be disappointed with the world
on this subject"
Motto Adopted.
Noting Franklin's mark
that God helps those who help
themselves" Mr.. Hoover said
this motto has been adopted by
every pressure group in the
country.
Another Franklin saying he
quoted was the philosopher S
formula for public office: Never
ask. never refuse. never resign. "
Mr.. Hoover said the present
administration in Washington
has found the never resign"
part is still in use.
