President Accused of “Quib
bling Over Words” and Ig
noring Employment Need.
Br the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 25.—Alfred E.
Smith disagrees with President Hoover
on two points in the problem of Fed
eral aid to public works to relieve un
employment.
Commenting yesterday on a recent
letter the President wrote the American
Society of Civil Engineers, the former
governor said:
“I am entirely unable to recognize
the validity of the distinction which
the President points out between pro
ductive and non-productive or revenue
and non-revenue producing work.
Difference Not Clear.
“He mentions a bridge and a tunnel
to be financed by tolls as being a
worthy project and a highway as being
an unworthy one. Obviously he can
not mean this. I do not know of a
bridge or tunnel project of any magni
tude which does not depend on con
necting and approach highways for its
success.”
Similarly, he said, he was unable to
“follow the President's distinction be
tween the issuance of Federal bonds
and the use of Federel credit."
Smith said that “from the point cf
view of unsettling the bond market
there is no difference between issuing
Federal bonds and using Federal
credit.”
Employment Important.
Declaring himself in sympathy with
the general principles of relief in the
President's letter, he said the problems
of finding employment for millions
transcends "all hair-splitting and all
fine spun theories of financing."
“If we do not tackle this problem
now in a big way,” he said, "we shall
be driven to much more drasti
measures a few months from now, when
the millions of unemployed will not be
so patient with quibbling over words."
BOY ATTACKED BY DOGS

Brattain, official of the Transconti

The boy was saved from more serious
