Oct. 21. (Sunday) (AP) The dar

streaking toward India from Bagh
dad early today with three male
teams close at their heels In the
$50,000 London to Melbourne air
classic.
Of the IB entries ten were spend

In favor of the new deal and 63 per
cent against. Yet the new dealers
won the election, winning two out of
the three congressional seats and the
governorship, and they almost won
the senatorshlp.
An explanation for that may be
that the democrats must have hidden
strength smong a sub-strata of voters
not covered by the Digest poll. At
least that Is what they say, and
everyone will admit that the Roose
velt strength Is greatest among those
on relief rolls. The Digest names
come from many sources, mainly from
directories, telephone books and farm
publications, which may be top-heavy
with names of people whom the new
deal has helped least.

they are going to get the biggest
sweep ever.
If you analyze the situation you
will find that both may be right. The
Digest poll was taken on the new deal
as a whole. The democratic polls
were made on democratic congress
men and senators. There must be a
lot of voters who told the Digesters
they did not approve of new deal pol
cles aa a whole and yet are going to
Tote against republican candidates in
the election.
You can tell more about that the
day after election.
One phase of the "something big
for business" plan In the back of the
president's mind is an idea for help
ing the heavy goods Industrie.
The latest figures (monthly busi
ness chart) show they have been op
erating around 67 per cent of normal,
while all other industry was up to 90
per cent. It la obvious that the coun
try cannot recover until they get go
ing. And the trouble Is they cannot
get going until the country recovers.
Their business is good only when
the country Is growing and expand
ing, when the railroads are building
new lines, when new Empire State
buildings are being .built. Everyone
knows that nobody la doing much ex
panding now and will do little until
the existing slack Is fully taken up.
That paradox can be worked out In
only one successful way invention.
There Is every reason to suspect that
the gpvernment may shortly encour
age (by loans and otherwise) the
creation of new uses for steel and the
other heavy goods. As a simple and
probably not a very good example,
sums may be advanced for steel house
construction and for stream-lined
trains, If they prove successful.
The matter now la In the hands of
the durable goods industrialists, who
are privately exploring practical .r.;
ventlon poasl bill ties. Nothing will be
.aid about It publicly until some
thing definite is worked out.
Ex-Congressman West, who sacri
ficed himself for the new deal In
the Ohio senatorial race, is shortly to
get an Important position In the
treasury. It will not be the budget
director's Job, however. The president
Is well pleased with the civil service
man. Daniel Bell, who Is serving in
that post. Bell's temporsry appoint

nitely. It is supposed to have had a

Scott, "because of clouds. There was
dirty weather over Turkey with low

He complained of dust on the

BY ICKES CHARGE
TOLEDO, O., Oct. 20. (AP)
Former Republican administrations
were accused tonight by Secretary
Ickes of having permitted and aided
bankers to foist worthless foreign
bonds upon the American public.
Some public officials. He said,
even became "glorified bond sales
men." He criticized openly also
some of the nations oankers and
business men. His tone in contrast
to other recent administration
speeches, seeking to reassure busi
ness.
Declaring the new deal heralded
the start of a new social order, the
interior secretary said In a speech
before the Toledo forum that the
1932 presidential and congressional
elections constituted a peaceful resolution.
Realizing in bitterness and des
pair how they had been deceived
by a get-rich-qulck-government in
the control of a get-rlch-quick group
of exploiters," Ickcs said, "the peo
ple decided to take back into their
own hands the government whose
powers had been so grossly mis
used." Levelling his oratory at "our bril
liant financiers and captains of In
dustry," he asserted foreign bond
sales were their "illogical and Inana"
plan to finance foreign trade and
keep domestic Industries going.
MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 20. (AP) While
thousands of American Legionnaires
Invaded this tropical, flag-draped
city, National Commander Edward
A. Hayes today opened pro-convention
fireworks with a broadside
against the American Veterans' asso
ciation. The Legion's head, who will open
the convention In Bayfront park
here Monday morning, branded the
American Veterans association as a
"fly-by-nights," and declared Its pur
pose was to split the strength of
the legion.
Hayes said the association "ad
mittedly has but one aim, as ad
mittedly did the National Economy
league, to prevent benefits to the
disabled, and It seeks to do this
along the same line as did N. E. L.
by professing to be for the service
connected cases and against the pre
sumtlve service esses, although res
toration of the latter coat the gov
ernment less than $10,000,000."
The national commander's remarks
were contained in a statement re
leased from his convention head
quarters office.
Referring to newspaper advertise
ments he said he had been pub
lished by the American Veterans'
association, Hayes declared:
These advertisements purport to
be paid for and published at the
Instigation of Legionnaires, evidently
members of the A. V. A. They are
In keeping with the Insidious propa
ganda of the organised opposition
to our disabled veterans of the

INSULL TRICKERY
IN STOCK SALES
TOLD BY WITNESS
CHICAGO. Oct. 20. (AP) Prose
cutors closed the third week of their
case against Samuel Insull, Sr., to
day with testimony that, "wash sales"
helped ma're the "Jewels of the In
sull empire" sparkle for Investors,
The Jury trying Insull and 18 oth
ers for mall fraud heard an Illus
trated lecture on "wash sales" from
R. A. Knlttle, accountant of the de
partment of Justice, who explained
they were transactions in which stock
does not change onetfhip.
Because this practice Is forbidden
on security exchanges, the defense Is
expected to battle Knlttle's testimony
when the trial resumes next week.
United States Attorney Dwlght H,
Oreen, who charged this pretense
was used to deceive Investors, con
sidered It a strong point In his case.
Knlttle described four ways In
which "wash sales" allegedly were
accomplished, each time resulting in
a stock market quotation at the price
desired, although no real trade oc
curred.
One of the more complicated In
volved the use of four brokerage
houses. The transactions originated.

New evidence the government may

Thomas H, Robinson, Jr., his wife
and father, was disclosed by the gov

of the kidnaper's den had been found
In Nashville.
The three were Indicted by a spe
cial grand Jury in federal court to
day. U. S. District Attorney Thomas
J. Sparks sstd he would ask death
for young Robinson, and that pun
ishment ssked for the other two
would depend upon 'proof."

was described to the grand Jury by
Mrs. Stoll herself.
Toung Robinson, a fugitive, who
was still a Jump ahead of police to-

father, Thomas H. Robinson, Sr., were
Jointly accused of taking part in the
50.000 ransom abduction.
Department of Justice agents in

the statement explained, he discussed

with C. 0. Stoll, father-in-law of the
kidnaped woman. Mrs. Stoll is the
former ambassador's niece.

Robinson's whereabouts" as the fath
