President Roosevelt shot buck an answer to Mr. Hoover's constitutional challenge a rew clays oaca, but the nation missed It entirely. The president's reply was too subtly masked In the name of Dem ocratic Senator Duffy. It was pro jected In a genfir a 1 1 y unnoticed speech delivered by Duffy at the conve.ntlon of Youne Demo PAUL MAU.U.N crats In Milwaukee. What the nation did not know was w. h. ntirM nnrtlon of Duffy's apeech referring to Mr. Hoover was prepared insine ira Certain phrases used by Duffy were supposed to have been written by the president himself and edited by Her bert Hoovers old political nemesis, the publicity strategist, Charles Mlch elson. The New Dealers did not consider It wise for the prealdent to answer the ex-presiaeni aireuny. have attracted too much attention for them. They thought Duffy's use of the White House material would draw sufficient national attention to It But Duffy Is not widely known outside his own bailiwick. The tone of the return fire fell somewhat fTat. Only one eastern newspaper used the remarks on pRge one. What Duffy said for the president amounted to a charge that Mr. Hoo ver had advocated far greater ex tension of presidential power, ten years ago than MK Roosevelt is ad vocating today. Another attack on Mr. Hoover, read to the Young Dem ocrats by Governor Earle of Pennsyl vania, also is supposed to have been based on the data supplied by New Deal Headquarters here. However, the president may not have figured In that directly. If the New Deal high command had only known that Duffy recently con cealed his supposedly heroic rescue of a four-year-old girl, the com manders might have chosen a better publicity man. Duffy waa returning from a sail on a lake near his Wisconsin home about two weeks ago when the child fell into the water nearby. Several other persons were around. He called to them to fish the girl out. When no one budged, he hopped In him self and saved her. Ho admonished the crowd later NOT to tell the newspapers anything about It and then hopped a train for Washington. A normal congressman would have telephoned for news photographers, re-enacted the scene for the news reel and pinned a medal on himself.
