"BIO FELLOWS" ALONE
DECLARED CAUGHT
MANY FACTORS SEEN TO
OFFSET TRADE RECESSION
WAB SITUATION VIEWED AS
MAIN CAUSE OF ALARM
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. It has
now become evident, as Indicated In
thia column last week, that the ad
ministration's "hands off' policy re
garding the stock ' market situation
wasn't as "handa-offlsh" as Indicated,
even at the start.
There are some amazing and, U
you didnt get burned In the market,
amusing tales rustling among the
fallen leaves on Pennsylvania avenue.
The most amazing Is the charge
from a certain set ol anti-New Deal
ers to the effect that the president
locked the barn after the horse was
stolen and did It on purpose.
This la pretty emphatically denied
at least that hands were held off
on purpose to give bad. big business
a lesson. But the denlers admit
that, Ironically, the recent slump
that ended on the bright, blue Octo
ber 19. was, aa their opponents called
IV a "Roosevelt panic," but In a dif
ferent sense.
This la the explanation: The fed
eral reserve put the margin require
ments on stock purchases so high in
1638 that the "little fellow" hasn't
been able to get Into the market and
hoot the works the wsy he did In
1939. Not many miniature Morgans
eould plunge when they had to put
up 88 per cent of their purchase In
cash (48 per cent on the loan value
of the stock).
That la what happened. The gen
eral public wasn't In this market.
The "big fellowa" were. They were
the onea who got burned. And some
of them are blaming the president,
saying he refused to step In and save
them when he might have.
However that may be, the affair,
unleea the situation grows worse,
may work out all right for the New
Deal. The "forgotten man" wasn't
hurt directly, and the folka who pile
up the majorities In November have
almost forgotten It already.
The chain of events leading to the
federal reserve margin orders is In
teresting. To Hyde Park came, first, members
of the advisory board of the depart
ment of commerce, heeded by Averell
Harrlman, and composed of lending
business men. They Invited the presi

POLITICAL DRIFT
New York City Election To

Tammany Fights For

In IS statea, scattering off-year
election campaigns drew toward a
close today with the usual widespread
claims of victory on November a.
From a national standpoint the
chief Interest lay In the signs that
might bo raised to show which way
the political winds are blowing.
Two governors, four mombcrs of-
congress, half a dozen state legis
latures and mayors of several large
cities are to be elected Tuesday. The
governors are In Virginia and New
Jersey. The members of congress are
In Virginia and New York. Tho chief
mayoralty elections are in New York
and Detroit.
These mayorallty elections and the
New York congressional and New Jer
sey gubernatorial supply the chief
tugs of party against party. But even
nere the issues are greatly compli
cated by other questions.
new York, Oct. 30. ap) The
nntlon'alargeat city will elect a new
mayor Tuesday, ending a campaign
marked by bitterness and high pub
lic interest.
The election results, whether the
victor be Mayor Florello H. La Ouar
dl or Jeremiah T. Mahoney, may
profoundly affect policies of both
major partlea for tba 1938 and 1940
national elections.
Each candidate confidently pre
dicts victory for himself by pluralities
of 400,000 or more.
The election will give Tammany a
near knockout blow no matter who
wins, for the city makes Its first
experiment with "P. R." (proportional
representation) In voting for the
newly chartered city council Tuesday,
onnging about automatic reappor

mathematically certain leadership to

ed tonight be would take bis case
"to the workers of thia nation"
through an appeal for a "stoppage
of all work" if the supreme court
of the United State fails to tree
him from San Quentln penitentiary.
The announcement waa Mooney'
reaction to today's refusal by tne
California supreme court to grant
him a writ of habeas corpus in his
fight for releaae from a life sen
tence given him on conviction aa
a perpetrator of San Francisco
Preparedness day bomb outrage in
1016.
The at ate tribunal held Mooney
had been fairly convicted and tnat
there waa nothing to substantiate
hit claim he had been framed ny
perjured teatimony or by the with
holding of evidence that would have
favored hla defense.
George T. Davla, Mooney attor
ney, announced ha would carry
case pa the supreme court of tn
United States a soon aa possible,
"In the event the U. S. supreme
court fails to do simple Justloe by
freeing me with honorable vindica
ton," Mooney said. "I will appeal
to the court of last resort to the
workers of this nation now arouaed
a they never before have been to
the consciousness of their own eco
nomlo and political power, to nring
our ultimate, unconditional release
and vindication through a stoppage
of all work."
Such "stoppage of all work" was
threatened here several month ago
at a rally of Mooney sympathizers
by Harry Bridges, head of the Mar

Bridge described his proposed ao

WASHINGTON, Oot. 30. (AP)
Eventa are shaping to focus publlo
attention on President 'Roosevelt's)
message opening the coming special
session of congress more sharply than
on any similar utterance since hla
first Inaugural address In 1933.
No suggestion baa yet come frona
tha president himself of any pur
pose to expand the address beyond
the outline of a legislative ftve-potnt
program such as he sketched In hla

financial olrclea in New York was
more significant. While the technical
aid toward stabilization of day to
day market operations wss welcomed,
the Intervention from Washington
waa read aa forecaatlng further gov.

enterprise, chiefly In tha way of raw
vision ot the undistributed nrofltt
and capital gains taxes.
President Roosevelt declined In hla
press conference Frldsy at Hyde Park
to give any light on hi attitude
toward such proposed tax change.
He reverted Inatead to reiteration of
the contention that raising the pur.
chasing power of the ona-tblrd of
the population ha haa before de
scribed as still 111 fed, 111 housed and
111 clsd eould point the way to an
utlmate national Income goal of

In Boston on new deal pollriea. Mr. '
Hoover said they were calculated te
pull down the middle two-thirds
rather than lift standards of living
for the lower one-third or, whatever
proportion correotly statea the aub
