Dewey Kits New Deal
Fiscal Policies in.
Boston Speech
Sees Defeatist Attitude,
Maladministration
Holding U. S. Back
By the Associated Pros*.
BOSTON, Jan. 24—Thomas E.
Dewey, candidate far the Republican
presidential nomination, headed
“Down East" today to look over
Maine’s political barometer, having
keynoted his swing through New
England with an attack upon New
Deal fiscal policies.
The administration, the New York
district attorney declared at a mass
meeting in Boston last night,
“stands condemned beoause its poli
cies have prevented the employment
of 9,000,000 Americans who want tc
work.”
tie cnargea me Mew ueai witn
“maladministration,’’ contended its
fiscal policies were "unbridled and
spendthrift,” and said it was "fos
tering a defeatist attitude on the
whole subject of our economic fu
ture.”
“To be sure,” he asserted in the
third major address of his campaign
“seven years of maladministration in
Washington have temporarily held
back the growth of our country. But
I deny that the American people arc
finished. America is at the morning
of its destiny.”
Administration "Too Tired."
In opening his attack upon New
Deal spending policies, he asserted
that “it is perfectly plain that the
administration is too tired to dc
anything about its budget." And as
he came to the end of his prepared
address, he added:
“Only a new broom can sweep
clean the budgetary litter of the
New Deal.”
The lawyer from Michigan, whr
rose to national prominence as i
"racket buster” in Manhattan
maintained that “* * * in its first
responsibility to the men and women
seeking a livelihood, the New Deal
has utterly and completely col
lapsed.”
“Here is the first duty of the na
tional administration which will
succeed the New Deal next Jan
uary,” he said. “It must again re
lease the energy of private enter
prise to transform unemployment
into employment, relief into Jobs.”
Mr. Dewey maintained that the
Federal Government was spending
$17,500 every minute, but was taking
in only 55 cents for every dollar
spent.
Seta Opportunity DuM.
He said that "even waste of
money is not the greatest offense of
this administration. The crime of
the New Deal is its deniel of human
•opportunity to millions of people.”
In this connection, he maintained
that there had been a “startling”
decline in marriage, a drop of 25
per cent in 1938 as compared with
the period of 1922 to 1928.
“One out of every four young
couple who would normally have
married has been denied that op
portunity by economic conditions
for which the administration must
be held responsible,” he said.
Mr. Dewey declared the seven
“lean” years have made it impos
sible for “any administration” tc
balance the budget “overnight,” and
added that “we are not going tc
economize at the expense of the
unemployed or the aged.”
Weather
*Continued From First Page.)
measures taken by the city to keep
traffic moving was made by Repre
sentative Bates. Republican, oi
Massachusetts who called It t
“disgrace.”
“There is no justification for tying
the city up as it was today. It is
obvious that proper consideration
has not been given in the District tc
meet the exigencies caused by heavy
snow.”
The Congressman, former Mayoi
of Salem, Mass., said that if the
Commissioners had inadequate snoa
removal equipment they should
make an immediate appeal to Con
gress for funds.
Many Workers Late.
Inquiries made at the offices of
the chief clerks of several govern
ment bureaus revealed the heavy
absence and tardy lists. The Gov
ernment Printing Office, for In
stance, said that 30 per cent were
absent and another 30 per cent
late on the day-shift. The Com
merce Department clerk stated that
absences were few, although many
were Lite. The General Accounting
Office had 500 absent out of its
personnel of 5,000, and many more
late.
Opening of criminal courts was
delayed here when the vans bring
ing prisoners from jail got stuck in
the sAow.
Those who came into the eitj
during the morning rush from near
by areas had worse experiences than
those who lived in town. City traf
fic was impeded by the hundredi
who left the upcjeared sidewalks t«
walk in the streets.
But traffic from the suburbs wai
just plain snarled. Lines stretched
solidly for blocks along such street!
as Fourteenth—where traffic wai
tied up from Pennsylvania avenu<
to the water front at times.
School buses were stalled on rural
roads. Prince Georges County
schools declared a holiday, although
students who reported were allowed
to stay until noon. Similar situa
tions obtained in many schools ha
Montgomery County, Md., and Ar
lington County, Va.
Can Jump Rails,
The street car derailments oc
curred between Hyattsvllle and
Mount Rainier. One Washington
bound car jumped the rails, tying
up traffic, and another oar bound
for Riverdale went off. Repair crewi
put them back on the tracks, then
held up other cars until the tracks
were cleaned again.
The Eastern Shore of Maryland
reported the worst storm in recent
years and Southern Maryland was
digging out from under 30 Inches of
snow. Conditions in Western Mary
land were not so bad.
In Virginia, a fire was reported at
Ocean View, near Norfolk, in which
several buildings were destroyed.
Roads to the South were in poor
shape. Engineers reported that
Route *1 from Washington south to
the North Carolina State line was
blocked. It was hoped that the
Richmond-Washington section could
be cleared today, but none believed
- the route would be opened south of
Richmond. All other main high
ways east of Charlottesville and the
Blue Ridge were blocked.
Ferry Service Suspended.
The Defense highway from Wash
ington to Annapolis was blocked
during the morning and the Olai
boume-Annapolis ferry had sus
pended service. Road officials on
the Maryland Eastern Shore said
they could not be sure that any
road there was open.
Snow was 3 feet deep on the
streets of Cambridge, Md., on the
Eastern Shore. Food and medicine
had been rushed by plane and Coast
Guard cutter to Smith and Tangier
Islands in the Chesapeake Bay.
“1 can’t say that any road is open."
Milk was flown to Smith Island—
ice-locked speck of land 12 miles
off the Eastern Shore of Maryland
in the Chesapeake—just before the
storm closed in. Fred Ennis, owner
of a flying service in Salisbury,
landed his small plane in a meadow
and left 40 quarts of milk for the
island’s infants.
He made the hazardous trip in
answer to a radio-telephone plea
from the island. A Coast Guard
cutter was unable to get near the
island, because of the ice, and the
45-foot steamer Island Belle, which
regularly carries supplies to the
island, was reported frozen fast in
the harbor.
Medical supplies went to Tangier
Island, near Smith Island, aboard
the Coast Guard cutter McLane,
after an appeal for help.
Paralysis Victim, 6, Finds Fun
And Hope at Hospital Clinic
Shirley Davis, 6, shown in the occupational therapy clinic
at Children’s Hospital. —Star Staff Photo.
j Six-year-old Shirley Davis doesn't
| like anybody to help har. She can
I even strap her steel leg braces on
herself.
Shirley was 3 years old when she
and her ftve brothers and sisters
went out to Indiana for the sum
mer.
One hot Saturday Shirley's mother
and father went into town to shop,
leaving her in the car. When they
returned she was lying on the back
seat, feverish and listless.
The first doctor her parents took
her to couldn’t discover anything
wrong with her, but a few days
later the doctor knew. Shirley’s
parents knew. too. Their baby had
lost the use of her left leg and arm.
She had infantile paralysis.
“She suffered intense pain for two
weeks," her lather, a Navy Yard
machinist, recalled. “She was in
the hospital for six weeks, first in
Indiana, then at Gallinger, and
finally at Children’s Hospital.”
Now Shirley, her left leg rigid in
a brace, reports regularly to the
Children's Hospital physiotherapy
clinic for massage. She also likes
to go to the occupational therapy
clinic, where weakened muscles are
strengthened while the children en
joy themselves playing games, work
ing out on the bicycle saw, painting
and drawing.
A sober-eyed youngster, Shirley
goes to kindergarten at Dent School.
Her older sisters and brothers are
always ready to help her, but, as
her father says, Shirley wants to
do things for herself. She leads as
normal a life as a child can whose
compansions run while she walks.
For Shirley and the scores of
other Washington youngsters marked
by the paralyzing after effects of
infantile paralysis the physiotherapy
and occupational therapy clinics of
Children's Hospital mean hope for
the future, hope that years of mas
sage and corrective braces will ward
off permanent disability.
To keep those clinics going funds
are needed, funds that are raised
during the celebration of the Presi
dents birthday. By attendance at
the Birthday Balls, by laying a dime
or two on the Mile o’ Dimes, located
at Fourteenth street and New York
avenue N.W., you can help those
youngsters.
You can help Shirley, who helps
herself all she can.
Browder's Name Filed
l« Race for Sirovich
Seat in House
[
\ Communist Leader Free
| On $7,500 Bail After
l Passport Case Appeal
Bl th* AuonUt«d Press.
HKW YORK, Jan. 24.-A 5,441
signature petition naming Earl
Browder the Communist candidate
fof Representative from the four
tegnth congressional district was
filed lgst night a few hours after he
served notice of appeal from his
pagsport fraud oonviction.
Hew bail of $7500—the same
amount under which he had been
free before he was sentenced to four
years and fined $2500—also was
made.
Trial of Robert W. Weiner, flnah
cial secretary of the Communist
party which Browder heads, was
postponed until next Tuesday by
Jvjdge Vincent L. Liebell in Federal
Court. Weiner, indicted December 4
by the same grand jury that indict
ed Browder on similar charges and
whose real name was given as Wel
wel Warszower, pleaded innocent to
the indictment. His bail was set at
$10,000. He was Identified as a Rus
sian-born alien who came to this
country as an immigrant in 1914
and who since had posed as an
American-born citizen.
Trial date of two others also un
der passport fraud indictments were
not set, but Federal authorities said
a fourth, Nicholas Dozenberg, who
pleaded guilty and testified against
Browder, would be sentenced soon.
Browder’s opponents in the spe
cial election February 6 for the post
left vacant by the iate William Siro
vich will be M. Michael Edelstein,
Tammany leader of the eighth as
sembly district, and former Justice
Louis J. Lefkowitz. Republican nom
inee. Mr. Edelstein has the Demo
cratic and American Labor Party
nominations.
An objection to Browder's name
on the ballot was filed by Lambert
Fairchild, who protested the Com
munist’s petition did not correctly
describe the election district; that
the Communist party was a "dues
paying, secret society,” and that
Browder “has avowedly subordi
nated himself to all decisions of
Communist International, an alien
organization whose open intent is
to destroy our form of government
and all established religion.”
Dr. James Putnam Dies
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 24 IIP).—Dr.

Speaking of Weather, Coldest
It Ever Got in U. S. Was —66
By EDDY GILMORE.
AMCCi>t«d Fteu BUS Wrlur.
It’s an old American custom—the
colder the weather the hotter It
becomes as a conversation piece.
When the mercury does a na
tional nose dive, people get into
discussions and arguments which
lead to wagers and wrangles.
The Weather Bureau is, of course,
the last court of appeal for all
climatic disputes.
Right now the raging question is:
What is the lowest temperature
ever recorded in the United States,
when was it registered, and where
was it registered?
The answer is: 69 degrees below
zero (fahrenheit). at Riverside
Ranger Station, Yellowstone Park,
Wyo., February S, 1933.
Here are some other questions—
with their answers—that have
come up for settlement:
Is there a State which never has
experienced zero weather? No. Flor
ida comes closest, with only 2
below.
Which State has had colder
weather. South Carolina or Louis
iana? This is a trick question, be
crfftse South Carolina, which is con
siderably farther north than Louis
iana, has seen the mercury at 11
below, while the Pelican State has
had it down to 16 below.
Which has been colder, Maine
or New Mexico? The answer is—
neither. It’s been 48 below in both.
Texas or Delaware? Texas, by six
degrees
Rhode Island or Alabama? Both
have had recordings of 18 below.
Frozen yet? If you are, how about
something on the country’s hottest
weather? The 1913 record at Death
Valley, Calif., still stands—134 de
grees. •
Pneumonia Death Rate „
Down Despite Cold
By tti< Anoclsted Pt«m.
The death rate from pneumonia
was declared today to be decreasing
in spite of the present cold wave.
Officials of the Public Health Serv
ice said that this winter's mor
tality rate had dropped lb per oent
from the five-year average. The
number of cases of colds and in
fluenza has been on the increase,
however, the total being about 30 per !
cent above normal. i
Officials credited much of the de
cline in the pneumonia death rate
to the widespread use of sulfa
pyridine, the new drug which has
been in use less than a year.
An ounce of attention is better
than a pound of remorse.
