MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FAGE THKBB NATION TO BACK ROOSEVELT PLAN Foremost New Deal Critic Sees Eye to Eye With President On Need for Change in Neutrality Law NEW YORK, Oct. a. (AP) Alfred K. Smith, long one of the foremost critics of the new deal, called on the nation last night to "stand solidly" behind President Roosevelt's fight to amend the neutrality act. Praising the president's program for lifting the arms embargo to per mit cash-and-carry sales of muni tions and war supplies and to bar American shipping from the war eones. Smith told a radio audience: Clearly Right "He Is so clearly right, so obviously on the aide of common sense and sound judgment and ji patriotism, that only those who lack an under standing of the Issue will oppose him." The speech was the first In which Smith, the 1028 Democratic presiden tial nominee, had publicly supported a major administration measure ad vanced by the man who succeeded htm as the standard bearer of his party. As he spoke, Columbia broadcast ing system offices , were picketed by 20 supporters of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlln, Detroit radio priest, car rying placards reading: "All. why have you changed your color?" and 'A1. are you going with the other crowd now? Why?" Must Keep Ships Out Smith said the only way to keep America out of the present European war was to bar American ships and passengers from belligerent waters. Smith declared it was the sinking of American ships in European wa ters that brought America Into the world war in 1017 and asserted the present distinction under which "war materials" are banned but other sup plies freely shipped was "essentially the bunk." The torpedoing of two Swedish steamships was proof, he added, that "the German government does not recognize any difference between the good b covered by the American em bargo and the goods that are not cov ered by the embargo." $81,401 DUE ON 0-C TAX REFUND The 1037 claim of Jackson county for Oregon-California land grant tax refund money from the federal gov ernments amounts to 981,40132, ac cording to statement prepared by the county assessor's office.

There's one best friend who always tells you WHEN the Prodigal Son reached home . . . they killed the calf. Marco Polo re turned from afar and landed in jail. That's the way it is. Getting home so often turns out to be the most exciting part of the trip. But now that everyone is back from vacation and we hope a good time was had by all we'd like to ask a modest but helpful traveling compan ion of everybody to take a bow. We refer, companeros, to the ever-present and ever-excellent road map. , Along main highways you can go nowadays, confident the road-signs will guide you to your destination. You know where you're going. What you generally want to know is where you are . . . how f ar you've come since breakfast ... the name of the next town ... the most promising place to stop for lunch . . . whether that other road's a short-cut or a snare. Modern road maps seem to .know all, tell aU.Tb.ey do every thing but cast your horoscope and fix flats. Thanks to the oil industry and we claim only our own share of the credit the right map is always at hand. On every road, in every city, it's there' for the asking sure guide, sometime philosopher, and certain friend.
