Recovery Says College
Speech
Chestertown, Md., Oct. 21 VP)
President Roosevelt called the na
tion to the "spirit of cooperation"
of the colonial days as he accepted
here today an honorary degree from
Washington college.
Disdaining the "five year and ten
year programs of some countries
winch have a dictator," tne presi
dent declared amid applause:
"In this country, which has not
dictator, we can, I think, move
further toward our goal without
giving It a definite term of years."
But he emphasized the spirit of
cooperation was the vital element
for recovery and harked back to
George Washington, a founder of
this Institution, as a leader against
class distinctions and the pioneer
of cooperation.
"We have accomplished much In
the last few months," said the pres
ident In his collegiate cap and
gown, "but we can't reach the goal

SENATOR LONG
CALLED BY VET
New Orleans, Oct. 21 VP) Senator
fiuev P. Long today was challenge
ed by a war veteran and a stock
exchange president on statements
he made at Frankitnton two days
ago In sponsoring tew taxes- for
Louisiana.
Will P. Chandler, thrice com
mander of the Lafayette, La., post
of the American Legion said he re
sented Long's purported statement
that "most" of tne men serving
In the United States army were
"dragged in by the hair of the
head." and asked the senator If he
would repeat the statement before
a called meeting of the Lafayette
post.
chandler also addressed an anneal
to State Commander Larry Fox of
the Legion in which he described
the purported Long statement as
"an Insult to every patriotic man
who served his country." He asked
the LcElon to make a formal answer.
The other challenge resulted from
Senator Long's reference to the
New Orleans stock exchange as a
"gambling house."
John Dane, president of the ex
change, issued a statement saying
"our little exchange In New Orleans
Is a true Investment exchange If
there is any such thing in tne
world."
Senator Long referred to both
the stock exchange and cotton ex
change as "gambling houses" in his
address in which he Intimated that

greatly Interested In ascertaining
whether or not the noiiday strike

definite to prevent tne shipment oi
spring wheat to the markets. I be
lieve that when the other governors
hear the farmers, they will take-de
finite action.
I know from the letters, telegrams
and telephone calls received that
the overwhelming number of people
are solidly back of me In declaration
of the embargo. I was born in this
state and never before on any occa
sion have seen such unanimity of
opinion.
The merchants, bankers and busi
ness people of this state are fighting
the farmers' battle hand in hand.
They know that the farmer has been
given no code. Tney know tnat De
fore the embargo was declared the
price of wheat was 49 cents a bush
el, and they realize that the embar
go on amber Durum wheat and on
spring wheat has already had a fine
effect on the market.
They know too, that President
Roosevelt Is in need of every ounce
of backing that he can secure and
that if the price of wheat and the
products of the farmer rise and get
where they should be that the NRA
program will have a very much
greater chance of success.

Concentration of Oregon's PWA Loan Money

By HARRYN. CRAIN
Members of the legislature, called to convene here on
November 20 in special session, are looking forward with un
usual anticipation to the recommendations to be laid before
them, particularly with respect to unemployment relief, by
Governor Meier. For the most part the lawmakers confess
themselves to be entirely at sea as
regards unemployment relief meth-
ods, and considerably awed by the
estimates of required relief revenue
they will be called upon to provide.
In the whole picture before them
now there is but one ray of sun
shinethe possibility that the gov
ernor out of extensive studies of the
problem he Is known to be making
may find a means of stimulating
employment and thereby reduce the
mil lor roller which must be fi
nanced from tax revenues.
Specifically, the legislators are
closely watching developments in
relation to Governor Meier's pro
posal that highway construction op
erations, financed through PWA
loans and grants, be materially In

RETRACE STEPS
OF ARSONIST
Berlin, Oct. 21 (IP) Hie exact
steps of Marlnus Van Der Lubbe,
Dutch ex-communist and chief de
fendant in the Reichstag fire trial,
through the Reichstag; building; on
the night it was fired, February 27,
1933, were retraced today by the
court, defendant and newspaper
men. The strange procession solemnly
proceeded along Van Der Lubbe's
line of march minutely examining
a score of points at which the de
fendant allegedly ignited the build
ing using prepared shirts and tow
els soaked with Inflammables as
tinder.
During the course of the Inves
tigation it transpired that Van Der
Lubbo used his overcoat, undershirt
and waistcoat to light curtains
with which he spread the flames
throughout the Reichstag.
All evidence observed during the
retracing of the Dutchman's steps
created an impression that Van
Der Lubbe must have run through
the corridors at breakneck speed In
order to accomplish the firing of
the building by himself in tne onei
fifteen to seventeen minute period
in which he is claimed to have done
the deed.

EXTRADITION OF
INSULL ARGUED
Athens, Oct 21 (LP) Samuel In
sull, 74-year-old American utilities
magnate, appeared before the court
of appeals today to oppose effort
of the United States government to
extradite him to Chicago for al
leged violation of the American
bankruptcy laws.
Chief Justice Panyglrakls com
municated to him the United States'
demand for extradition. Then
State's Attorney Antonlos Riganatos
began his statement. He seemed
exhausted by his long tedious prep
aration or the case.
Riganatos, after pointout out the
right of persons accused of crime
to seek refuge, said the Interest of
Justice required the punishment of
culprits wherever they might be
found. Countries made extradition
treaties, he Bald, to prevent
Influx of criminals. Also, he said,
the treaties protected personal free
dom; and he argued that extradi
tion was not a danger to an lnno-
rcent man because Justice was the
same tne world over.
Flvo indictments, said the state's
attorney, had been brought against
Insull In the charges that he de
frauded shareholders in the Insull
Utilities and Securities corporation
by paying dividends on debentures
from fictitious profits, borrowing
huge sums to do so. He misled the
public, Riganatos continued, by
keeping up fictitious prices for his
shares on the stock exchange. In
sull's companies were nothing but
an assembly of stock gambles, he
said, and never made profits.
TRAIN DERAILED
Havana, Oct. 21 (P) The locomo

Santiago Express were derailed early
today when an explosion blew up
nearly 400 feet of track near the
town of Empalmc, Matanzas prov
ince, about 50 miles from Havana.
The explosion came amidst un
settled labor conditions that grew
more serious steadily, despite the
government's vigorous moves to set
tic the difficulties.
Railroad connections between Ha-
vana and points cast of Matanzas
province were stopped by a strike
of railroaders who seek annulment
of a rule which prevents the trans
fer of employes from one division
to another.
The strikers claim the rule pre
vents many veteran employes from
taking Jobs on other divisions on
the basis of their seniority In the
event they are laid off because of
a lack of business in their own di
visions. Meanwhile, as police and soldiers
were placed at car barns to prevent
a threatened strike of tram workers
sympathizing with the railroaders,
Havana milk distributors and bakers
went on strike.
