Johnson Says
MA is the Sev
enth Wonder
Recovery Chief Lashes at Dencnncers
as "Leaders, Guides and Scouts
of the Old Soad to Ituiu."
Atlanta. Hugh S. Johnson, ad
dressing an NRA rally, called the re
sults obtained so far by the Roose
velt recovery program "a seventh
wonder- of the world," and asailed
its denouncers as "leaders, guides
and scouts of the eld road to ruin."
Speaking of the entire recovery en
terprise, Johnson said the experiment
already "lias produced 25 rercent of
the results expected of it," and he
predicted business was on the verge
of another forward surge.
Most of the speech was given over
to a new assault on the "tom-tom
beaters," the "corporals of disaster"
and "discredited leaders of an old
economic system, social Neanderthal-
ers who are out, to stop the recovery
program."
Predicting a new upturn, ho said:
"I hold in my hand Dun and Brad
street's review for November. You

signs of recovery. The full flood of
the president's program had not yet
struck the country ty the end of No

ward surge.
"The self serving attacks cn NRA
have failed. Confidence in it is grow
ing as the indsutries got the full
benefit cf their codes. It has borne
too hard on small enterprises. That
is being correct. Using it as an ex
cuse some prices have been raided
too far. That is being corrected. Com
pliance has been too loosely enforced.
A nation wide mechanism is being set
up for that.
"The speed cf the various mov
ing parts of the president's whole'
machine is being eoualized. Areas

Jch:iso:i again criticized the agita
tion over freedom of tho press, as.-crt-ir.g
"that constitutional provision
can no mere be waived than is the
right cf habeas corpus or, ia fact, of
citizenship itrclf." ;
ID HIGHWAY SPEED LBI1T
Dess r-.Ioinec. The modern automo
bile ii capable of being driven at
100 miic-s an hour safely, the mid-we-'t
conference of motor vehicle tax
official1: was told.
. R. McDonald,
Wisconsin utility commissioner, said
he had driven safely at such a speed,
lie was one of several who advocated
abolition of highway speed limits. The
recommendation was that, while the
limit would be abolished reckless
drivers would be prosecuted if their
traveling speed was such that they
"ecu Id not fctop in a reasonable space
in the typ? of traf:"ic in which they
were driving."
State boundaries, as they concern
motor vehicle traffic, were virtually
erased. Conferees approved a recip
rocal agreement which provides that
patifipating states will recognize
pleasure car and truck licenses on
vehicles Ufed in interstate commerce
for the twelve month period for which
the plates were issued. Representa
tives attended from Minnesota, Wis
consin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska,
Indiana, Kansas. Ohio, Michigan,
Kentucky, Oklahoma and Iowa.
LEE TRACY IS DISCHARGED
L.03 Angeles. Lee Tracj-, film
actor, was discharged from the em
ploy of the Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Motion Picture company by Louis B.
Mayer, studio executive, who describ
ed Tracy's behavior in Mexico City
as "deplorable."
Announcement of Tracy's dismissal
was contained in a telegram which
Mayer sent to Abelardo Rodriguez,
president cf Mexico. It said the act
or's five year contract had been can
celled "as a result of Tracy's deplor
able behavior."
"Not only has he been removed
from the film, 'Viva Villa, " the tele
gram continued, "but he has been
dismissed entirely from our employ
and his contract cancelled." '
Tracy was schcdueld to leave Elj
Paso, Tex., for Los Angeles. lie elud
ed Mexican border guards in reaching
El Paso. They sought to arrest him
on charges of making offensive ges
tures and remarks when he stood on
a balcony of a Mexico City hotel and
watched parading cadets march by.
VATICAN BACKS LEAGUE
Rome. The Vatican newspaper Os
servatore Romano printed a strong de
fense of tho League of Nations from
which Italy's imminent withdrawal
has bsen hinted.
CALL FOR AID OF WAGNER
St. Louis. Striking St. Louis fill
ing station employes appealed to Sen
ator Wagner, chairman of the na
tional labor board, for assistance in
bringing about arbitration of their
demand for union recognition and
higher wages. The appeal was made
after leaders of the newly organized
union of filling station workers con
ferred with President Green of the
American Federation of Labor.
The eight major oil companies af
fected have offered to take back the
1,500 strikers and present the dif
ferences of both sides to the petro
leum labor policy board, now in pro
cess of formation, for mediation. The
union rejected these terms, insisting
on arbitration.
Roosevelt Says
Never a W ord to
Program Critics
Going Ahead With Dollar Devaluation
Plan With Fresh Vigor Kot
Surprised at Criticism.
Warm Springs, Ga. President
Roosevelt ignored the controversy
over hi3 commodity dollar program,
and Friday he will project his mone
tary policy ahead in a meeting with
Acting Secretary Morgenthau.
The'
president is saying nothing about the
criticisms voiced in the past few days
unless his call for a fighting policy
in his talk cf Wednesday could be at-
tiibuted to the money dispute. So
there is every i i;
going cn with hi
devaluation plan
;n here that he is
3 announced dollar
with new ehort
arthcr than any relaxation of it. Also,
there is every indication he will make
no public reply to the critics and let
the results speak for them-ielves.
Intimates of Mr. Roosevelt express
ed no surpi i.se-cvt the public criticism
voiced )y James M. Warburg. The
view of Warburg and O. M. W.
Sprague, who were financial advisers
to the London economic delegation,
were overruled by the president in
his stand against immediate currency
stabilisation at tho London parley.
Persistent rumors from Wall street
that the president might discuss his
monetary program in a talk he makes
here Friday night brought a negative
opinion from -those who know Mr.
Roosevelt -be-sU The meeting is the
dedication of the New Georgia hall
given to the Warm Springs founda
tion by the people cf Georgia. There
is no indication that he thinks it
necessary to reply to the mor.cy crit
ics whom he termed "tories" and
"doubting Thomases" last week.
It v.-as asserted at the "little white
house," that nothing was known here
about the published-report that the
federal reserve' advisory council hadj
warned against tne new monetarj
program. , ,,.
Meanwhile, the vacationing presi
dent enjoyed another day of complete
erlaxation. Ho took a swim in the
open pool and then drove his car
about the vicinity. Representative
Rankin, Mississippi, left an invita
tion to the president to visit his
home town of Tupelo in the event he
inspects the Tennessee valley on his
return to Washington.
Friday, also, Mr. Roosevelt will
receive here Hugh Johnson, his in
dustrial administrator, who is bring
ing some new codes for signature.
Senator Thomas, Oklahoma, tele
graphed President Roosevelt, urging
him to order a standing bid for gold
at $41.3-1 an ounce, lie charged the
"British-American gold bloc" was
"organizing to perpetuate control of
government." State Journal.
CIAHY ON RIVER PROJECTS
Omaha. Iowa and Nebraska direc
tors of the rational re-employment
service reported here that approxi
mately 2,S0O men are now employ
ed on Missouri river projects between
the two states.'
The pair, Hans C. Pfund of Dcs
Moines and George Hodge of Lincoln,
conferred with Martin Lewis, jr., of
Jefferson City, Mo., assistant to the
associate director of the re-employment
service. '
The men now working are divided
as follows: Sioux City 450, Nebraska
City COO, Plattsmotuh 350, Omaha
671, Auburn COO. The current allot
ment is for 2,500 men.
Hodge said that, including public
works, civil woiks, highway projects
and river work about 12,000 men
have been given work from the Ne
braska list of GO, 000 unemployed. He
expects to have 10,0 CO men at work
on CWA project! alone before the
end of the week, about that numbqr
being placed in the 12,000 total he
cited.
Pfund reported for Iowa that in
cluding all typc3 of work the serv
ice has so far supplied work to 16,
000 men, cf whom 10,000 are ctill at

Bryan Tosses
Challenge at
the Interests'
Governor Defies Nameless
Nominate "Microbes"
Governor, Senator.
One
for
to
"Special Interest germs are now
working in the intestines of the dem
ocratic party in thi3 state," warned
Governor Bryan in an interview on
state politics in which he indicates
that the "interests" are back of can
didates for governor, as well as sen
ator, none of whom are approved by
Bryan. Covering the field of both
senator and governor in this way
Bryan does not indicate whether he
lias decided to rescue the party from
the threatened disaster by deciding
to run himself for either cf these of
fices, or that he may care to con-vTl
nomations for both positions. Con
gressman Carpenter, an oil man, wa3
not mentioned by name. Nor was
Mullen nor Neville mentioned.
Bryan points out that the oil in
terests, the contractors group, the
railways and bankers and even those
who desire to get hold of the police
power of the state, are bringing out
candidates. He named no names, not
even mentioning State Senator Ban
ning of Cass, a former banker, who
favored a state police system in the
last session of the legislature. He pre
dicts a hot campaign if the interests
nominate candidates.
"Our democratic president, Roo;e-
velt, has been trying to drive the
money changers from the national
temple," continued Bryan, "but spec
ial interests in Nebraska have
changed frcm the republican party to
the democratic party because the dem
ocratic party offers the greatest hope
of electing its officers in the next
campaign.
"My reports indicate that the rail
ways and bankers who worked to
gether last year to get hold of the
police power of the state are attempt
ing to develop a candidate for gover
nor. Tho power interests and oil in
terests seem to be attempting to de
velop another candidate for governor.
"Then there is a third group that
is working in the party to nominate
candidates for both governor and sen
ator. These may be designed as dem
ocrats for revenue only, where after
the candidates are elected they could
be used to create business fcr their
sponsors in fees, percent, honorar
iums, and employment as lobbyists.
"The profiteers in public highway
work are locking ever the field to see
who they can cast their lot with, as
they are not in good standing and
don't feel they can nominate a can
didate of their own, but desire to get
behind any other group candidate
which offers success.
"The democratic party in Nebras
ka has established an enviable record
in enacting progressive legislation
intended to protect the wage earners
and farmers and I cannot overlook'
the attempt at this time to switch to
the democratic party to use the gov
ernment to take advantage of the
people who have to patronize the
utilities, common carriers and finan
cial institutions who have a monopoly
in their respective fields.
"If this intestinal work now going
on should develop any -microbes, there
will be a real contest in the demo
cratic party to protect the people."
WAGE AGREEMENT IS MET
Fawnee City, Neb. A
vigorous
protest registered at the court house
by eighteen Pawnee county residents
paid less than the contract stipulated
minimum wage on a gravel project
east cf Table Rock, was satisfied
when the president cf the graveling
company met with the men, paid
them the full amount of wage.s due,
and ironed out the labor difficulties.
The workmen had registered on
the county's unemployed rolls and
been sent to the Table Rock job Mon
day to unload gravel from freight
cars. The Inland onstruction com
pany of Omaha requisitioned the men
for work on their contract, which
covers two miles of graveling on state
highway No. 4. After the first day's
work the men were offered 1.25 a
day, which two accepted and the oth
ers declined. C. V. Baker of Omaha,
president cf the construction com
pany, met with the men here Tues
day afternoon and pointed out that
the wage disagreement wa3 thru a
misunderstanding. He paid the work
ers at the rate of 40 cent3 an hour
and said such wages would prevail.

Trifling on CWA
Move of Government Is to Provide
Additional Jobs to Take Up Un

Lincoln, Nov. 22. State Civil
Works Administrator W. H. Smith
Wednesday night issued a warning
that any attempt to trifle with the
relief-work program by shifting reg
ular governmental employes to the
new relief jobs will be met with im
mediate cancellation of all CWA pro
jects in the offending community, j
Meanwhile the emergency works
board struggled against time, red
tape, lack of knowledge of local of
ficials of the procedure to be follow
ed and the limitations set down by
the federal government to get more
projects approved.
The day's work aw approval of
new projects to put several thousand
men to work in local communities on
their own municipal or county pro
jects, and indications that the num
ber employed thi3 week by the new
program might total more than 10,
000 or nearly one-fourth of the reg
istered unemployed in the state."
"Word has rome to us," Smith
announced, "that some city is
going to shift its regular city
employes over to the civil works.
If we have any evidence that is
the case, we will cancel all pro
jects in that city and fight it
out. afterwards."
Amplifies Warning.
Rowland Haynes, federal relief ad
ministrator in Nebraska, who with
Smith and State Engineer Roy Coch
ran is sitting as the emergency works
board, amplified Smith's warning by
saying no federal money would be
paid to persons reported on civil
works pay rolls that were not on the
relief rolls prior to Nov. 16 or on
the unemployed registration lists in
the federal re-employment offices.
Haynes pointed out that certifica
tion officers had been appointed in
each county to check the payrolls

governmental subdivisions, but
