Aug. 27 W) With the last of the formal acceptances on the record and Speaker John Nance Gar ner assailing what he termed the "failure of Republican leadership," the Democrats today were ready for action on all fronts. The Garner acceptance of the vice presidential nomination, which waa accompanied by no more ceremony than it takes to drop a letter in a post box, was made public here yes terday. He charged Republican lead ers In Washington with falling to act courageously when the slump came or to take adequate relief meas ures and he laid "nealy all our civic troubles" to "government's departure from its legitimate functions." His notification and acceptance set a new low in the matter of expendi ture. Senator Alben W. Bar ley, temporary chairman of the national convention, sent him a letter from Washington, In which he praised the speaker highly, and Garner answered In another letter dated frtAn his home at Uvalde, Tex. 4 It had been estimated that the notification would cost six cents, but the expense was a trifle more because of the postage required to mall copies to tho national committee, which re leased them here. .

NO TRACE OF TWO AMERICAN OCEAN FLIERS LONDON, Aug. 27 VP) Europe as sumed today that the transatlantic piano Green Mountain Boy, long un reported out of Harbor Grace, New- foundland, bound for Oslo, Norway, was down In the Atlantic, and the only hope was rescue by a passing ship. Dawn broke without any news of Clyde Lee and John Bochkon since they took off at 6:02 a. m. (eastern standard time) Thursday with hours of gasoline 'In their plane's tanks. The airports at Oslo and Bergen, Norway, kept their lights going all through last night as did Croydon airdrome near London, and several other fields along the filers' route to Oslo. It was generally assumed that even If the American pair had weathered Atlantic storms they may have en countered, they must have been com pelled long since to alight with empty tuei tanks. Their deadline waa ex- haustod long before nightfall, Oslo time, last night. Mr. Garner assailed the Hawley Smoot tariff as causing a great de cline In trade, attacked what he call ed the steady encroachment of the federal government on the rights and duties of the states. Regarding pro hibition, he declared that unlike the Republican plank, the Democratic plank made no attempt to be equivo cal. "No other constructive solution of the problems of the 18th amendment brought upon the country has been offered," he said. "Return of con trol and supervision to the states, where It rightfully belongs, should be welcomed by alt who realize the growth of the evils which followed placing of this power In the hands of the federal government." Concerning the alma of govern ment, he aald: "It la not the business of govern ment to make individuals rich, though too often has government been bent to that purpose. Nor is It a function of an administration to direct the personal affairs of man kind, except Insofar as It places a bar against such things as involve In Jury, loss or discomfort on others.
