O'Hara Plans to Broadcast
Radio Attack on
Tuesday.
By the Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., October 23 —
New' verbal fireworks Impended tonight
In ‘‘little Rhody’s” battle of the cen
tury between Gov. Robert E. Quinn
and Walter E. O’Hara, turfman-pub
lisher, which has seen racing halted
at the rich Narragansett track by. a
ring of National Guard bayonets.
Mr. O’Hara, publisher of the Provi
dence Star-Tribune and president and
managing director of the track, was
arranging his wordy artillery in prepa
ration for a radio attack next Tuesday
right against Quinn’s action. Outside,
the clump of militiamen's boots sound
ed, echoing a gubernatorial declara
tion of martial law at the track.
O'Hara chase that time to answer a
radio broadside fired last Wednesday
by Gov. Quinn, who asserted he called
out the State militia as the "only way”
left to "preserve the honor and dignity
of the State.”
Meanwhile, a committee headed by
Mayor Thomas P. McCoy of Paw
tucket, leader of p political faction In
this State and a personal friend of
O’Hara, considered its next move. The
committee, named by the Pawtucket
Aldermen and City Council to "protect
the rights, lives and liberty” of Paw
tucket citizens, was given unlimited
funds and was directed to carry "their
cause” to the United States Supreme
Court "if necessary.”
The track, except lor a lew statues,
is within Pawtucket limits.
Gov. Qui»n, O'Hara and McCoy all
are Democrats, but McCoy, backed by
O'Hara, leads a faction opposed to
Quinn.
Two statements indicate the dead
lock between tne men:
Gov. Quinn has said “no more rac
ing’’ with O'Hara in charge and that
he would “drive” the turfman “out of
the State.”
To this, O’Hara replied he would
remain in Rhode Island “as long as
God gives me health.”

GIRL WHO SWALLOWED
PIN OUT OF DANGER
Miss Margie De Simone Escapes
Necessity of Operation Fol
lowing Recent Mishap.
An open safety pin she swallowed
last Wednesday no longer is a threat
to the health and life of Miss Margie
De Simone, 18, of 1879 Ingleside ter
race.
Faced for four days with possibility
of serious internal injury, and likeli
hood of a major operation, the girl
escaped unharmed, when the pin was
eliminated naturally yesterday at Gal
linger Hospital.
Miss Simone had two safety pins
in her mouth Wednesday when she
laughed suddenly. She removed one
from her mouth, but the other had
been swallowed open. She went to
the hospital suffering no ill effects,
and the passage of the pin through
her alimentary canal was closely ob
served by physicians through the use
of X-ray. They were ready to operate
in case the pin became lodged.
The only treatment given the girl,
physicians said, was plenty of food, to
facilitate movement of the pin.

RARE OPERATION GIVES
BABY CHANCE TO LIVE
Defect in Intestinal Tract Cor
rected by Surgeon at Hos

Rare in the annals of medicine and
surgery, a baby boy, born at Gallinger
Hospital with incomplete intestines,
has undergone an operation which, it
is believed, will give him a good
chance to live.
The baby, apparently healthy in
every other respect, was found to lack
an opening for.the lower intestine:
surgery provided one and late last
night he was reported as “doing
nicely.”
There have been other such in
stances, experts say, but they are rare.
Dr. H. E. Newman, at the hospital,
said last night he believed the young
ster had an excellent chance to thrive,

_
Bing Crosby's Affidavit Says
Golfer, on Trial for Rob
bery, Is “Honest.”
By the Associated Press.
ELIZABETHTOWN, N. Y„ October
23.—Defense counsel for Hollywood-*
John Montague centered their efforts
to seek his acquittal on a seven-year
old robbery charge today on a series
of depositions from his filmland golf
ing pals.
James M. Noonan of Albany, N. Y.,
Montague’s attorney, sought to intro
duce statements from Crooner Bing
Crosby and other screen luminaries
testifying to the fairway wizard's
“honesty and truthfulness.”
Decision Withheld.
Prosecutor Thomas W. McDonald,
who in the two days of testimony
completed the evidence by which he
hopes to send the djmpled athlete to
prison for a $700 road house robbery,
made public the affidavits, but he
withheld decision until the trial is
resumed Monday as to whether he will
permit them to become part of the
record.
“The circle tliat he moved in ac
cepted him as an upright man," Cros
by's affidavit, as disclosed by McDon
ald, said. The screen and radio actor
referred to a “social friendship" of five
years.
Hear* dame on Radio.
Meanwhile Montague, free on $25,
000 bail after coming here voluntarily
from California to stand trial, whiled
away a rainy afternoon listening to a
foot ball game by radio with a few
friends in a 18-room hotel annex he
has leased, directly opposite the court
house.
In Rome, N. Y., State Supreme
Court Justice James T. Cross reserved
decision on an order obtained by Ber
nard P. Sisson of Syracuse, requiring
Laverne Moore to show cause why he
should not be required to pay a sum
mary judgment of $150 for several
suits of clothes purchased in 1928.

Disavow* Any Move to Take Ac- J

Reorganization.
The administration’s silence on the ,
subject of election retaliation pro
posed by Senator Joseph F. Guffey of
Pennsylvania against Democratic Sen
ators who opposed President Roose
velt's court reorganization plan, was
broken yesterday when Charles
Michelson, speaking as publicity di
rector for the Democratic National
Committee, entered formal disavowal
of any such project.
“What the vigorous Senator from
Pennsylvania did was to voice his own
opinion of the proper treatment of
those he accused to disloyalty and In
gratitude," is the way the situation
was described by Michelson, who sud
denly revived his comment column,
“Dispelling the Fog,” which was dis
tributed throughout the 1936 cam
paign, to emphasize there would be
no administration reprisals against the
recalcitrant Senators In 1938.

ond STRATEGY IN DEALING WITH PEOPLE
—See for Yourself
At our preliminary meeting in the Grand Ball Room of the Mayflower
Hotel on October 8th over five hundred attended.
The result was a larger enrollment than we had anticipated. All the
classes scheduled at that time have been filled.
In order to take care of the overflow enrollment additional classes will
be held on Thursday evening of each week.
If after reading this announcement, you feel this is the kind of training
that would be profitable to you, you are invited to make a reservation
by mailing today the reservation form in this announcement.
Our Policy
If you attend one of these meetings you will not be asked to enroll.
You will not be annoyed by anyone asking you to “sign up.” None of
our students have been asked to enroll.
If after seeing a class in operation, you decide this is the kind of training
you need, you may make application for membership in one of the
groups. In order to give individual attention each group is limited to
forty people.
-_ ■ ■■ ■ ■■ ■■■ ■ ■ -...J |
EASY TO .STAR I
At the beginning of the course you
will not be expected to make a so
called “speech." You and your class
associates will start off easy. First,
you will get accustomed to thinking
in front of a group and then you
will work up to the point where you
will want to “let yourself go.’’ One
of the advantages in studying in a
j group of this kind is that you are
, associated with ambitious people.
Everybody is there for the same
purpose—self improvement. Your
class associates will be just as anxi
ous to see you succeed as you will
be to see them. Everybody pulls for
each other.
You will be taught how to plan,
organize and present your talk so
as to secure attention, sympathy
and action. You! will learn the three
essentials which make a talk “click. ’
