|O. M. W. Sprague,
Money Expert, Dies;
Quit New Deal in '33
Oliver M. W. Sprague, 80, mon
etary authority who dissented
! from the Roosevelt financial
! policies in the early days of the
i New Deal, died yesterday at Cam
j bridge, Mass., after a long ill
! ness.
j He was professor of banking
1 and finance at the Harvard Grad
uate School of Business Admin
; istration for 43 years before his
retirement in 1941.
j Three months after Franklin
ID. Roosevelt became President,
! Prof. Sprague came to Washing-
I ton as executive assistant to the
! then Secretary of the Treasury,
William H. Woodin. He came at
the urging of Mr. Roosevelt, who
had once been his pupil.
Bank of England Advisor.
He had just completed three
years as economic advisor to the
Bank of England and had an in
ternational reputation as an
authority on finance. He gave up
that position paying $25,000 a
year for a small salary and a
small office in the Treasury.
Six months later he resigned.
He wrote the President he was
in “fundamental disagreement”
with the monetary policies which
had been adopted. The Govern
ment by then had gone off the
gold standard and was devalu
ing the dollar, purchasing gold
in foreign countries at increased
dollar prices.
Prof. Sprague objected that
this would be ineffective in
bringing the rise in prices toward
which the policy was directed or
in bringing increased produc
tion of goods and services.
While still with the Bank of
England he forecast accurately
the banking collapse in the
United States which marked the
transition from the administra
tion of Herbert Hoover to that
of Mr. Roosevelt.
German Reichsbank Aide.
Prof. Sprague also served at
various times as advisor to the
German Reichbank, the Bank of
j France and the League of Na
! tions.
He was born at Somerville,
Mass., and educated at Harvard.
I Except for three years at the
Imperial University at Tokyo,
1905-1908, his entire teaching
career was at Harvard.
A son and a daughter survive.
Home of Colored Resident
Is Bombed in Cleveland
By ths Associated Press
CLEVELAND, May 25.—For
the second time in five days,
there has been an attack here on
the homes of colored persons liv
ing in neighborhoods where
whites also live.
The latest incident was a
bombing, before dawn yesterday,
of the home of the Rev. Smith
E. Ware, 48, a former minister of
a Baptist church in Barberton,
Ohio
The blast of dynamite shat
tered five plate glass windows,
pushed radiators from the walls,
twisted a downspout, snapped a
; pipe connected to an organ
blower motor and buckled part
of the foundation.
The dynamiters also were
after Mr. Ware’s next door
j neighbor, Lee V. Malloy, also
colored. But the fuse on the
bomb they put on his porch was
faulty and the bomb didn’t ex
plode. However, the blast at
| Mr - Ware’s house smashed 27
window panes in the Malloy
residence.

Fenwick Launches
Whirlwind Motor
Tour of 4th District
By Alex R. Preston
Star Staff Correspondent
| APPOMATTOX, Va., May 25.
—A new technique in campaign
! in & * or Virginia’s gubernatorial
; nomination was launched by
| State Senator Charles R, Fen
j wick today with a grueling 509-
mile tour of the 4th Congres
sional District aided by two
sound-equipped cars.
The candidate was due to stop
at Appomattix, scene of Lee’s
surrender to Grant, in a whirl
wind drive for a Democratic pri
mary victory July 14.
In one sense. Mr. Fenwick,
whose home is in East Falls
Church, was in home territory in
the 4th District. He owns a farm
on the James River, near the vil
lage of Columbia in Cumberland
County.
18 Stops Listed Today.
But the District’s own member
of Congress, Representative Ab
bitt, is actively backing Mr. Fen
wick’s opponent, former Repre
sentative Thomas B. Stanley of
the neighboring fifth district.
After spending last night at his
farm James View. Mr. Fenwick’s
party started rolling on the
tightly timed schedule before 8
a.m. There were 18 stops listed
for today: 15 more tomorrow and
9 Wednesday ending at 1:15 p.m.
in Surry.
The first stop this morning was
at the hamlet of Arvonia. A
sound-equipped station wagon
broadcasting martial music,
stopped in front of a village store
; and heralded the candidate's ar
rival.
Strikes Hard at Opponent.
About 10 minutes later Mr.
Fenwick’s own car, with newly
installed loudspeakers pointing
fore and aft, hove into sight. The
Arlington legislator got out and
commenced his handshaking and
speech making routine.
The lead car, meanwhile, had
pulled out for New Canton, 10
miles further down Route 15 for
a repeat of the relay process.
In his curbstone opinions and
speeches on village greens, Mr.
Fenwick struck hard at his op
ponent for “being satisfied with
conditions as they are.”
The candidate emphasized
that he was not satisfied and
that he had a plan to draw in
dustries into communities where
the people need them.
Fenwick Explains Platform.
The candidate told his listen
; ers that his opponent’s position
had been made clear when the
two spoke in Richmond last
Thursday. At that time, Mr.
Stanley said :
“My program to advance the
Virginia economy calls for a con-
I tinuance of this industrial and
economic progress and I propose
to continue it with the same
methods and the same formula
which have brought Virginia
such tremendous progress. . .
Mr. Fenwick asked his South
side Virginia audience, “Are you
satisfied with conditions as they
are?”
The candidate reiterated that
his program would not change
Virginia from a basically agricul
tural to an industrial State.
Aiding the candidate on his
whistle-stop tour are three mem
bers of the Arlington Democratic
Executive Committee, Leonard O.
Hilder, chairman: Joseph C. Cole
and Miles Spence Bray, and Hal
Baker, office manager of State
campaign headquarters in East
Falls Church.
