Williams' Attack on Mayor Brings Replies. By MA1XX)LM EPLEY As friends of Mayor W. E. Ma- boncy come quickly to his de fenro after an attack by one S. C. Williams. It becomes Increas ingly apparent that the Town send movement and politics are going to be closely entwined In the coming campaign and that politicians are going to stage some hair-raising scraps for Tottnsend support. Williams, a preacher who signs hlmsolf as "state lecturer for the Towntend plan," was roundly scored by friends of the mayor for bla charge In a letter othls newapaper that Maboney and As sistant state .Manager Dwight Bunnell of the Townsend move ment were engaged In some dark plot that will wreck the move ment in Oregon. Political Motives Seen Their atory la that what Va liants doesn't like about Mahoney Is that he suspects the latter of planning to run for soma office with Townsend backing, while Wllliatns, they claim, has fats own political ambitions and hopes to get Townsend support himself. It Is a fact of concern to many sincere Townscndera that since the Townsend movement began to taka on Impressive propor tions various politicians are hop ing to use it as a means of fur thering their own ends. The Townoonders can hardly vote for two men for the same office, so as the 1936 elections come closer bitter struggles for Townsend support may bo expocted. This, of courso, can easily lead to dissension In the Townsend rank. Mayor Mahoney, for ex ample, has the Indian sign on a good many of the Townsenders horo, and they seom to feel jnst the opposite way about Brother Williams. It is conceivable that Williams and Mahoney might wnnt the same office. If one wore to win the general Town fend endorsement, supporters of tho othor might Jump the reser vation. That's the way revolts are started. Split Not Improbable Trouble might easily develop if some Townsend clubs support one candidate, and some another. Fooa could bo expected to make the most of such situations. It was with the Idea of forestalling such difficulties, it is said, thnt at the recent convention in Chi cago, a resolution was passed. It provides that endorsements of enndldnte will be , made only through, the national headquar ters not by divisional or local organizations. This, it is believed here, wns the resolution to which Rev. Williams referred when he (Continued on Page Three) E NEW YORK, Nov. 19, fyP) Fair Bkias greeted workers who today began clearing away wreck age of the week-end storm that Hwept 'the ' north Atlantic Bea- botird. - Now Jersey stittored most of the total damage, variously esti mated at $1,000,000 to $10,000, 000, but New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts coastal points counted houses, places of busi ness and small vessels among the storm's toll.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, (P President Roosevelt told the na tional conference of mayors to day the federal government in tends to continue relief whenever necessary to prevent starvation. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. (yp) After hearing Harry L. Hopkins accuse some work relief critics of "willful maliciousness," Mayor Frederick W. Mansfield of Boston told the United States conference of mayors today part of the $4, 000,000,000 works fund had been diverted from' its intended pur pose. Recalling that President Roose velt proposed the fund to pro vide Jobs for 3,500,000 employ able persons on relief, Mansfield asserted: "It needs only simple arith metic to show that the average allotment per man was $1,200, yet large federal public works projects were approved calling for expenditures of large sums from the fund for materials." DF PROTESTED HERE Members of the Klamath coun ty relief committee voted unani mously Tuesday morning to pro test the WPA ruling that only persons on relief sometime be tween May and November can be eligible tor work relief em ployment. They expressed the opinion this ruling will greatly handicap the relief program here, aa lt will keep from work many wdrthy In dividuals who, during summer months, have eked out a living from private employment. The committee also voted that relief cases should be opened for grocery aid only. The relief agency, it was decided, will not pay for medical aid for persons not on relief. A budget of $17,000 tor direct relief In December will be asked for, although members of the committee admitted they don't know where the money Is to come from. Recently Harry Hopkins, tedoral relief chief, announced that Oregon had been cut oft the direct relief list. .'. .

Military Draft NEW DEALERS, LAUD TREATY lillTH CANADA Foreign Goods Purchase Regarded As Boon to U. S. Trade. . REPUBLICANS CON- TINUE OPPOSITION National Referendum on Pact Discussed by ' Objectors. WASHINGTON, Nor. 19. VP) Fresh praise of , the Canadian- American trade treaty came from tha New Deal today as a repub lican spokesman challenged it to place tbe policy before voters In the 1936 elections. The tariff-bargaining program wa applauded by Francis B. Sayre, assistant secretary of state. in an address to the Maritime Association of New York. Foreign Trade Sought He said this country must buy I more foreign good lt lt expects to increase hb sales aoroaa. Harrison Spangler ot Iowa, di rector of western republican 'headquarters, proposed that the treaty s effective date be post poned pending a national refer endum next year. He called the pact a Joke on American wheat farmers, cattle raisers and Indus tries. Administration officials, con tending the agreement would double commerce between the two countries and increase in dustrial payrolls, went ahead with plans to have its tariff re ductions in operation by Janu ary 1. F lecher Reserves Comment -Among republican leaders at tacking the treaty was Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, pos sible presidential nominee. He reserved comment on specific points, however, asserting he wanted to see "precisely to what extent American agriculture has been sold down the river for the sake ot an international trade fiction." Pending further analysis, Hen ry P. Fletcher, chairman of the republican national committee and former chairman of the Uni ted States tariff commission, re served comment. In some republican quarters here lt was said that undoubted ly some groups were benefitted while others were not. There will be plenty of time between Jan uary 1 and the pnrty convention for the treaty's results to be come apparent, lt was added. Protest Taken to F. R. A protest against the treaty waa taken to the White House by Mrs. Edith N. Rogers, repub lican representative from Massa chusetts. She complained to a' presiden tial secretary that in her opinion it would work to the disadvan tage ot New England. Advocating repeal of the presi dent's reciprocal tariff-bargaining powers, she argued the Canadian pact would lower tariffs to other countries through tho "most-favored nation" clause. The national grange, in con vention at Sacramento, Cal., last night called on the administra tion to rescind the pact, under which the two nations grant each other tariff reductions or other concessions on about 800 com modities. In contrast to this stand, ship ping, banking and business lead ers attending tbe national for eign trade council convention at Houston, Tex., gave high praise to the pact and expressed hope others would be negotiated soon. Some delegates called it tho greatest achievement ot foe Roosevelt administration." Generally, administration chief tains who helped write the treaty expressed themselves as pleased with their work and made ready to defend lt as an Instrument RCHOOIj no.ARD .TO MEET ' The bnarrt of directors of Schol District Number One will meet this evening, (Tuesday) in stead of on Wednesday evening as usual, according to an an nouncement from Ida M.
