HOOVER CRIMES
ROOSEVELT TALK
Urges Five-Point Plan to
Restore “Long-Time
I Confidence.”
. »>• e Associated Press.
| PALO ALTO. Calif., April 15.—
Former President Herbert Hoover said
if last night President Roosevelt's new
el est advocacy of shorter hours for in
I creasing employment was "a most de
; sirable end,” but that it had failed
two years ago as an emergency meas
ure. He suggested a five-point pro
J gram instead to restore "long-time
j confidence.”
f The former Chief Executive added
* that the Roosevelt suggestion for lim
iting the age of workers was “good,"
r but added it “would not take up 15
per cent—probably not 10 per cent
—of the present unemployment.”
Hoover suggeted a program for put
ting long-term capital to work as
a means of drawing workers back
;? to jobs.
He asserted in a written statement
that the long-term capital market
if (which provides enterprise with
finances over relatively long periods!
"is not functioning at 20 per cent of
normal."
Answers Kooseven. *
| The statement was made with ref
erence to President Roosevelt’s re
marks last night in his Jefferson day
s gpeech at Baltimore.
, The Hoover statement in full:
“President Roosevelt in his ad
' dress last evening again proposes
\ shorter hours with the same weekly
| pay as the solution of increasing un
‘ employment. Over a generation wage
rates have been increasing and hours
decreasing. As a long-view devel
| opment in American life, it is the most
desirable end. But as an emergency
measure it was tried and failed two
years ago
“In seeking this method of solu
tion. the President finds himself upon
the horns of a dilemma. As a sud
f den measure, if weekly wages are to
be maintained with less work hours,
then costs and prices are increased,
5- thereby decreasing consumption and
I Jobs are lost. On the other hand, if
! hours are reduced and wages be re
duced proportionately, then the buy
ing power of the workers is dimin
* lshed, consumption and jobs are less.
Urges More Jobs.
"Why not try something that has a
f record of invariable success in restor
ing employment, both in modem his
(5 tory and of recent experience in
other countries? Why not at last
I recognize that there is a relation
between Government policies and un
employment? Why not try to in
crease the number of jobs instead of
dividing up the jobs which are?
• “For instance, while there is an
abundance of short-term capital, a
t study of the public issues of new
capital for new enterprise or ex
pansion as distinguished from re
funding i to secure these abnormally
» low interest rates) will show that the
): long-term capital market is not tune
s' tioning at 20 per cent of normal.
? That would seem to indicate some
thing wrong with governmental pol
icies. Suppose we were to:
"A—Reduce Government expenses.
"B—Balance the budget.
"C—Establish a real currency.
• *'D—Stop these movements and
threats of inflation.
“E—Stop these other activities

which destroy confidence in the future.
"When we would get a restoration
of long-time confidence we would se
cure long-time capital. We would
create new' enterprise, new employ
ment, new jobs. It would start re
placement of w'orn-out plants. It
would give the sinews and start the
building of much-needed and better
homes.
"The idea of keeping youngsters in
school and retiring workers on pen
sion at 65 is good. The country has
steadily been moving in that direc
tion for a generation. In 1930, when
employment was fairly good, there
were about 1,100.000 wage earners
over 65. There were about 1,100,000
persons under 17 employed in factories
and business. There are less of both
classes today. Moreover, they would
not be replaced by the same number
of the middle group. In any event,
if that idea could be made immedi
ately effective, it would not take up
15 per cent—probably not 10 per cent
—of the present unemployment.
"Surely something more far-reach
ing than this is needed."

CUM OF MUENCH
BABY ISDESCRIBED
Lawyer Says Another Wom
an Admitted She Had
Disputed Child.
Bj the Associated Press.
KAHOKA, Mo., April 15—A St.
Louis attorney testified today blond,
oft-wedded Mrs. Grace Caroline
Thomasson told him last November
it was she, and not Mrs. Nellie Tipton
Muench, who hart the baby boy of
Anna Ware, unwed servant girl.
Carl Dublnsky, the lawyer, appear
ing for the defense in the criminal
conspiracy trial of Mrs. Muench and
three co-defendants, quoted Mrs.
Thomasson as telling him she was
using the baby "to shake down a
rich Texas cattleman.”
Mrs. Thomasson, as a witness for
the State, had testified Mrs. Muench
got the baby, posed as his mother, ,
and then accused Dr. Marsh Pitz- ■
man, wealthy bachelor physician, of
being the father with the hope of,
obtaining $250,000 from him.
Dubinsky said Mrs. Thomasson vis
ited his office November 29 and told
him she had the baby and he was
being cared for by a "Mrs. Buchanan,”
who formerly resided in Chicago, but
was then living in Springfield, 111.
She asked "help to straighten out
this a flair,” he said, and he advised
her to go before the St. Louis Court of
Appeals with her story. The court
then was considering Miss Ware's suit
in which she charged Mrs. Muench
and her husband. Dr. Ludwig O.
Muench, had possession of her baby.
Mrs. Thomasson never went before
the court, the lawyer said.
Mrs. Helen Berroyer, friend of Mrs.
Muench, resumed the stand, but was
excused without further questioning
about her alleged role in St. Louis’
"gift from God” baby drama which is
now being repeated for rural audi
ences here.
Mrs. Berroyer has told on the stand
of the birth of a child to Mrs. Muench
at the Muench home, but said she
was not actually in the room at the
time it was born.
Christianity Loses Ground.
, Persia, Asia Minor and Egypt, once
predominantly Christian, are now
solidly Mohammedan.
