Attacks on Roosevelt Is
Termed ‘“‘Declaration
Of Grievances”
SPRINGFIELD, IIl.—(P)-—"“Grass |
Root” Republicans today followed‘
through an 18 shafted attack on
President Roosevelt with a “de-l
claration of constructive princi
ples.” |
Members of the resolutions com

journment late last night to draft
the “declaration” which Edward A.
Hayes, of Illinois, former national
commander of the American Leg
ion, said would contain principles
“constructive in character.”
They would “point the way in
which we can be helpful in ending
the depression and in the preser
vation of American institutions,” he
declared.
Brought by Hayes
The attack on President Roose
velt termed a ‘“declaration of griev
ances,” was brought in by Hayes,
resolutions chairman, and was rati
fied with cheers by the 8,000 ac
credited delegates in the big
Springfield fair grounds coliseum.
Provoking shouts and applause,
Hayes declared “we hold the presi
dent personally responsible for the
record of his administration.
“He has furnished a pattern of
planned economy which, if carried
out, spells the death of American
institutions.”
The president was further de
nounced as having shown a desire
for centralized power, and a “dis
taste for the constitution,” in com
menting upon the supreme court’s
| blow to NRA.

Virtual Agreement on the
Extension of NRA Until
April Ist Reached
Leaders Hops to Push
Compromise Through
In Short Order
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON —(#)— Adminis
tration leaders called the senate
into session a half hour earlier than
usual today to try to rush through
‘a compromise plan for extending a
devitalized NRA until April 1 next
year,
A virtual agreement had been
reached with senate foes of the re
covery law to a plan under which
the anti-trust laws would be re
stored to full wvigor but business
men would be allowed to agree on
collective bargaining, hours, wages
and certain fair trade practices,
Unless NRA critics should find a
last minute flaw in the plan, sen
ate leaders hoped to be able to put
lthe compromise through in short
order,
Discussion Continues
Meantime, the discussion of fed
eral vs. state powers that arose
in the wake of the supreme court’s
decision scrapping NRA continued,
with Senator Byrd, Democrat, Vir
ginia, expressing strong opposition
to the idea of amending the con
gtitution to broaden federal pow

Samuel Williams of Hopedale, O,

today on a mission to convert Clagk
Gable from the movies into evan

The ocean trip' will carry him to
Catalina Island, ‘where the hand

three weeks.
The Rev. Mr. Williams, who re

said women of ‘his congregation in

the actor'_s_r__redemption.
“Of course,” the minster said,
“there "is no hope for a lot of them,

He told perturbed Metro-Gold

“Mrs. Harmon,” he said, “saw
our church on-a hill—and a lot of
clean white stomes-around it. Down
in the valley: were a lot of lions

formation. The wvote was 493 for
the resolution and 17 against.

resolutions condemning lynching
Communism and Fascism, and

and in securing federal ald for
child welfare. The convention
passed the anti-lynching resolu
tion with only four negative
votes.
Mrs. H. B. Ritchie of Athens,
Ga., president of the Georgia dele
gation, offered the only argument
against the anti-lynching resolu
tion. She said lynching, because of
the educational methods - already
applied, wag one of the few crimes
showing a decrease at present. The
resolution, she said, should have
covered “all crimes, with a declara

committee and sponsor of the
birth control resolution, said that
