EARLY BOOM PREDICTED, BUT
ULTIMATE ECONOMIC DISASTER

TERM TALK FOR ROOSEVELT

STRENGTH TO AVOID
ENTANGLEMENT IS STRESSED
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. What
will war mean? to nair 01 Europe,
a culture and a way of life burned
and ground and blasted Into broken
shards and bloody ashes. But to us
here In America, what will It mean?
For all our 3.000 miles of Intervening
ocean. It la time to ask that question
In cold-blooded calculation.
In these last week, aa the crisis
deepened, the outline of "the future
has cleared. Economists, politicians,
publicists and business men have had
time to make their calculations. In
the talk of Informed men. there are
fragmentary forecasts. Put them all
together, and you have the future's
tentative composite portrait.
Front ana loss.
What will war mean In our eco
nomic life? Some days ago, It was
recorded here that, if war comes, the
government's fiscal experts predict
an immediate boom In the United
States. Very likely one will come.
II the state department's present
plans are followed, only the manda
tory clauses of the neutrality act
will be enforced. And. while our
factories will not do the great mu
nitions trade of 1913 and 1916, tho
farmers, and the producers of ma
terials, and the manufacturers of
textiles and machinery will find a
vast demand for their goods. The
wise know this, and, while tha stock
market remains nervous, the com
modity market hurtles upward.
But that Is only the immediate
f Aft-r that will come eco
nomic dislocation, dislocation u bad
followed the last
conflict. Whatever the outcome,
even If this country remains neutral,
the economic effect will be disas
trous. If Hitler wins a short war,
he will be the autocrat of Europe,
and his system of artificial trade re
train ts will dominate the commerce
of the world. If the war la long, it
will not matter which side wins.

FATHER OF AUTO
OF HEART ATTACK
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28. (AP)
Charles E. Duryea, 76, widely cred
ited as the man who Invented
America's first gasoline buggy and
known as the "father of the auto
mobile." died at his home here to
day. . . -
He had been 111 two years. Death
was caused by a heart attack and
complications.
Whether Duryea was the "first"
builder of a gasoline automobile
has been a subject of controversy.
The credit was claimed on behalf
of El wood Haynes. His first car was
placed on exhibition In the Smith
sonian Institution, but later Dur
yea's first car was placed there.
He built cars from 1892 until 1914.
From then on he was a consulting
engineer and patent expert, carry
ing on his work from his Philadel
phia laboratory.
Duryea was born near Canton,
111.. Dec. IB, 1881.
Springfield, Mass., laid claim to
being the "birthplace of the auto
mobile industry." A tablet there
rtates "America's first gasoline buggy
had its pulling test on April 19.
1893 at 47 Taylor street." and re
ferred to Duryea as "father of the
automobile."
Duryea began tne building of his
first automobile in 1891. The next
year ha drove his "horseless car
riage" In Springfield.
Duryea also Is credited with first
equipping an automobile with pneu
matic Urea. Made by the Hartford
rubber works, they were an adapta
tion of the bicycle tire.

SALEM. Sept. 28. (AP) Measures
to abolish the spoils system In state
government and to permit supreme
court and circuit court Judges to re
tire on pension will be considered
by the state bar association at a
three-day annual convention opening
here tomorrow.
A committee will recommend spon
sorship of a proposed constitutional
amendment prohibiting discharge of
any state appointive official except
for cause. The amendment would bo
submitted to the 1939 legislature.
Another committee will recommend
the association sponsor a law to per
mlt circuit and supreme court Jus
tices to retire at 70 years of age
after serving for 10 years, tho retired
Justices to receive two-thirds of their
salary for life. Judges who are phys
ically disabled after serving 16 years
would have the same retirement priv
ilege. The committee estimated the
cost of the retlrment program would
be $30,000 a year.
A second committee report on Ju
dicial retirement, which did not rec
ommend a specific law, suggested
that the association consider optional
retirement of supreme court Justices
who are 70 years old and who served
10 years, and of circuit court Jus
tices who are 66 years of age and
served 10 years. This committee did
not set the suggested retirement pay.
Of the 39 circuit and supreme
court Judges In the state, seven have
served more than 10 years and are
70 years old or more.
The association will also hear a
report recommending appointment of
a Judicial commission of seven mem
bers which would nominate from two
to five candidates for supreme and
circuit court Judgeships when vacan
cies exist. The governor would have
to name one of the candidates nom
inated. A committee will ask the bar as
sociation to devise a system of select
ing better Jurors, advocating a metn
od "involving selection based on pos
session of good horse sense." The
committee said good Juries are ob
tained In all counties except Multno

JOHN JONES' FEAR
HELD MAIN CAUSE
E
Plain Citizen's Lack of Con

Prosperity Bar, Says
Hoover.
KANSAS CITY. Sept. 38. (API
Former President Herbert Hoover,
brushing aside all questions on the
United States' position In the Inter
national crisis, said today the na
tion's greatest Internal question mark
Is not the big business man but
"John Jones who hesitates to buy
a house."
Hoover, here to address a Repub
lican rally tonight, said In an In
terview the only period of "genuine
recovery" since President Roosevelt
succeeded him in office was between
the time the supreme court Invali
dated such new deal acts as the
NRA and the AAA and the time
"Mr. Roosevelt began his attacks on
the supreme court."
Whon those attacks began, "Mr.
John Jones hesitated to buy himself
a house," Hoover said, and a con
tinued lack of confidence Is respon
sible for "13,000,000 unemployed In
this country."
" "Big business Is not the problem,
Hoover added.
"Big business Is not an economic
leader. Big business Is an economic
folower. The real problem Is the
little fellow John Jones who lives
In this locality. He la in a troubled
state of mind; he Is filled with fear.
So he has postponed buying a new
stilt of clothes, a new car, a house.
Big business simply supplies the ma
terial and follows tho market."
