f
Reversal of New Deal
Policies Demanded
By Senator Taft
Sees Industry Being
Absorbed Into a
Collective State
*y the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 3.—Senator
Taft of Ohio, campaigning for the
Republican presidential nomination,
demanded tonight a reversal of New
Deal policies which he said are lead
ing toward ‘‘absorption of all indus
try’ into a collective state.”
"We have tried New Deal methods
for seven years,” he said, “and they
have failed to produce recovery.”
Fundamental Issue.
He told a mass meeting of voters
from many States in Miami's Bay
Front Park that there might be
some New Deal policies that needed
continuing, but added:
“There may be differences on de
tail, but there is a fundamental
issue between New Dealers and
anti-New Dealers, and this is:
“Shall the administration be
guided by a belief that the Govern
ment can. produce prosperity by
means of Government bureaus and
Government regulation and Govern
ment in business itself? Or shall it
rely on the restoration of private
enterprise and individual business
activity?”
Senator Taft made the week-end
trip to Florida at the height of the
resort season, on a hand-shaking
visit among its tourist population, a
cross-section of the Nation. He
spoke last night in St. Petersburg,
then hastened here.
He blamed the present administra
tion with spending $21,000,000,000
more than it collected in taxes, and
insisted:
"Nc people can spend itself into
prosperity.
Will Not Prime Pump.
“Of course,” he continued, “relief
is absolutely essential as long as
present conditions continue, to meet
the unemployment situation in the
city and the abnormally low prices
in the country. But the idea that
relief and doles and farm subsidies
will produce prosperity or prime the
pump has been exploded by actual
experiences."
The Senator urged that the Na
tion stay out of competition with
private industry, although complet
ing projects like T. V. A. He struck
sharply at the National Labor Rela
tions Board and demanded forma
tion of a new agency to take its
place, composed of employer and
employe representatives, "rather
than left wing enthusiasts."

ers in Miami that he has such a
step "under consideration" but has
not reached a decision. Representa
tive Fish, Republican, of New York
reported in New York that Illinois
friends had filled out a petition
and that he would decide his course
next week. Frank E. Gannett, Roch
ester (N. Y.) publisher, said he
would not enter.
Others made no statements.
Secretary of State Hughes dis
closed that Mr. Dewey's petitions
bore 3,250 signatures. .The law re
quires only 3,000, but Mr. Reid es
timated that almost 100,000 had been
gathered and returned to his office
since the petitions were placed in
circulation last Tuesday.
All petitions must be filed on or
before next Friday.
'No Comment/ Only Word
From Hyde Park
HYDE PARK, N. Y., Feb. 3 (/P).—
A terse “no comment” was the only
reaction at the temporary White
House today to word from Spring
field, 111., that petitions had been
filed to place the name of President
Roosevelt on the Illinois Demo
cratic advisory primary ballot.
At his Hudson Valley home for the
week end. Mr. Roosevelt today in
spected the library which will be
opened this summer for the preser
vation of his documents and his
torical collections.
During the day, too, he talked
with- Secretary of the ^Treasury
Morgenthau, but White House at
taches said there was little signifi
cance in this since the secretary
usually comes to Hyde Park when
the President is here and has a
home not far away.
Mrs. Stockwell to Speak

Mrs. Frederick M. Stockwell, flelc
secretary of the Vassar Euthenici
Institute, will talk on "Euthenics'
Friday at 8 p.m. at the Beauvoir
Lower School of National Cathedral
School, 4500 Woodley road NW.
Euthenics is the "science of better
ment of living conditions to secure
more efficient human beings.”
NEW YORK.—LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB—Doris Dudley, who
plays the role of Cordelia, ‘‘the girl who gets spanked,” in the
play with John Barrymore, is going to be replaced by Elaine
Barrie, Barrymore’s wife, who is newly reconciled with John.
Miss Dudley, who seems a bit upset, is shown at a night club.
The Barrymores were at the other end of the table.

Pilot Club Launched;
District Governor
Tenders Charter
Women's Community
Service Group Hears
Representative O'Day
The Washington Pilot Club last
night was officially launched as Mrs.
Etha Hall, district governor of the
international order, presented a
charter to the group, meeting at
the American Association of Uni
versity Women clubhouse.
“I bestow upon you the greatest
gift a mortal can bestow,” the dis
trict governor declared in present
ing the charter. "The gift of serv
ing humanity and of exerting an up
lifting influence on others is now
yours.”
Mrs. Hall recalled that the Pilot
International was founded in 1921
in Macon, Ga„ with 40 members.
Now it is composed of approxi
mately 100 clubs with 3,000 members
scattered throughout the United
States and several foreign countries,
she said.
Representative O'Day Speaks.
The individual clubs render com
munity service by encouraging, spon
soring and promoting worth-while
civic movements, each club per
forming a service according to the
need of the community, Mrs. Hall
explained. Miss Louise Boynton is
president of the Washington club,
organized last spring.
Representative Caroline O’Day,
Democrat, of New York, guest speak
er, told the women that “almost all
our welfare laws have been enacted
since women secured the vote.”
She conceded that “men are all
right, but they have to be pushed
by women.” Of course, she said,
there are only five women in the
House and one in the Senate, but
they do very useful work.
She cited Representative Edith
Nourse Rogers' work for the veter
ans and praised Representative
Mary Norton for her expert “han
dling” of the Labor Committee, as
its chairman.
Hits Anti-Alien Wave.
"Personally,” she continued, “I
am very much interested in immi
gration.”
She expressed herself as "greatly
distressed” over the anti-alien wave
of feeling sweeping over the coun
try and scored certain unidentified
Senators for their "savage pa
triotism.”
Asked if married women should
work, Representative O’Day said she
saw no reason why any woman who
wanted to work should be denied
that right simply because she was
married.

lationship,” the resolution added.

Three-quarters of a century ago Washington was a city of sparsely scattered
wooden buildings. Pigs wallowed in the muddy streets. Connecticut Avenue
was a cow pasture Bethesda, Silver Spring and Arlington County were hinterlands.
Then came men with a vision. A vision of Greater Washington—the city of
homes. These men founded the first Building and Loan Associations of the
District of Columbia. These men saw the real need of Washington—a plan to
help neighbors save together—a plan to create a fund which could he used to build homes.
•
The Building and Loan Plan achieved immediate success because it was
friendly, cooperative—and most important— sound Then, as now, it brought op
portunity to the small saver to invest his money wisely and profitably. It gave
generous help to individuals who wanted to buy a home or needed to finance,
build or improve a home. In Washington and vicinity more homes have been
purchased, re-financed and improved through the help of the Associations of the Dis
trict of Columbia Building and Loan League than through any other single source
These men of vision stand ready to help you, as they did your grandfather,
your neighbors, your friends.
