Athens, Greece, Oct. 17. (A 5

day he had been informed that
cago authorities had hired four
detectives to kidnap him and take
out of Greece.

The Greek police said they had

LETTER REVEALS
WHAT ROOSEVELT
F
Presidential Nominee Says That
After Cutting Federal
penses It Will Be Time
Consider Payments
EXPRESSES VIEWS
IN RECENT REPLY
Denies That He Ducked the
Issue' as Charged in Letter
of Inquiry From Hartford
Legion Member.
Hartford, Conn., Oct. 17. (TP)
Dominick DeLueco, who recently
ed Governor Roosevelt to declare Ids
stand on payment of the bonus, made
public a letter today in which the
Democratic presidential nominee said
that after cutting federal
additional expenditures from any sur¬
plus in the treasury.”
DeLuc-co is active in local veterans’
nffairs. In the letter, Roosevelt ex¬
pressed the opinion “we can cut down
federal expenditures from 20 to 25
percent by the elimination of unnec¬
essary offices and overlapping fune
tions of government.”
He denied “ducking the issue” as
DeLucco had charged in his original
letter and said he had given an inter¬
view in which he spoke of the ques¬
tion in detail shortly after his nomina¬
tion.
The letter follows:
Evidently in saying that I had
“ducked the issue” of the bonus you
did not happen to see an interview
which I gave shortly after my nom¬
ination in which I spoke ol this ques¬
tion in detail.
I want to remind you t hat 1 served
in the department of the navy, saw
the war from both sides of the
and am a Legionnaire and a member
of other veterans’ organizations my¬
self. I stand four-square on the plank
of the Democratic platform which
says:
“We advocate the full measure of
justice and generosity for all war vet¬
erans who have suffered disability or
disease caused by or resulting from
actual service in time of war and for
their dependents.”
Let me remind you also that a na¬
tion is like a family—it cannot spend
more than it receives without
bankrupt. The United States is at
present spending more than it is
ing in—in other words we are still
in the red.
I believe that we can cut down fed¬
eral expenditures from 20 to 25 per¬
cent by the elimination of unneces¬
sary offices and overlapping functions
of government. When this is done
it will be time to consider additional
expenditures from any surplus in the
treasury.
Let mo also say that I believe the
return of a Democratic administra¬
tion to power will in the long run re¬
store the buying power not only of
one group of people but of many.
Your very sincerely,
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
New York, Oct. 17. (TP)—The New
York Times says Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt will announce opposi¬
tion to immediate cash payment of the
soldiers' bonus in an address at Pitts¬
burgh Wednesday.
At the same time, the paper says,
he is expected to link to his disap¬
proval of bonus payment a program
calling for relief for destitute war
veterans, with machinery similar to
the draft boards of World War days.
While the program for relief to be
offered along with opposition to cash
payment of the bqnus has been kept
a secret, $he article continues, it is
suggested that the governor will pro¬
pose that the boards would see to it
that needy veterans who had an act¬
ive war service would be assured of
relief during the depression.
It is also indicated. The Times says,
that the governor will take President
Hoover’s administration to task in re¬
spect to veteran relief measures and
have something to say about the oust¬
ing of the B. E. F. from Washing¬
ton.
The bonus speech, the paper said it
learned, has been practically complet¬
ed, although it will not he fully as¬
sembled until a few hours before he
speaks in Pittsburgh.

Berlin, Oct. 17. (TF)—Prof. Albert
Einstein offers to end his contract
and give up his salary with the

ed today.

sity that he will have to spend five

Premier Resigns and King Carol
Accepts After Hour Confer*
ence at His Summed Resi*
dence.
Bucharest, Rumania, Oct. 17. (TP)—
The government headed by Premier
Alexander Viada-Veovod resigned to¬
day.
The premier submitted his resigna¬
tion to King .Carol at the latter’s
summer residence at Sinaia after an
hour’s conference. M. Vaida-Voevod
emphasized that he was unable to
work with Nicholas Titulescu, who
had been offered the portfolio of for¬
eign minister.
The king accepted the resignation
and summoned Dr. Juliu Maniu, lead¬
er of the national peasant party. Dr.
Maniu had already left Cinaia, where
he, the premier and M. Titulescu at¬
tended the king’s 39th birthday party
yesterday.
Dr. Maniu, who was bound for
Bucharest, was asked to return im¬
mediately for a conference.
The political situation in Rumania
reached a crisis with the return of
Tituleschu to the capital Friday. He
had just resigned as^ minister to Great
Britain in protest against the propos¬
ed signing of a non-aggression act
with soviet Russia. He asserted the
pact was unnecessary in view of
other international peace agreements.
M. Titulescu previously had been of¬
fered the post of foreign minister. He
had sent a telegram from Paris that
he was willing to accept the position.
But friends of the premier, who had
conferred with the king, were of the
belief he would resign rather than
accept M. Titulescu as foreign minis¬
ter.
Girl Believed
Slayer Of Man
Muchly Sought
New York, Oct. 17. (TP)—John (The
Spider) Murtha, with a record as
sinister as his sobriquet, has fallen at
last—and detectives think a dainty¬
handed gungirl shot him.
Since last May New York’s 18,000
policemen had been on the watch for
Murtha, accused of two cold-blooded
murders. They could not find him.
Yesterday a motorist saw a crum¬
pled figure crawling painfully on
hands and knees alongside a cemetery
in Glendale, Queens. The woebegone
person was The Spider. He had been
shot in foui' places and pushed out of
a speeding automobile to land on his
head on hard pavement.
“You’re going to die, Spider,” said
a detective at a hospital. “Why don’t
you tell us who did nt?” *
“Oh, go away and let me get it over
with,” he said.
Considering Murtha’s love life in the
underworld (they said he was a gal
! lant of sorts) and also considering
| the fact that it was a .25 calibre pistol
from which the shots were fired, de¬
teetives were led to believe a girl did
the shooting. Gangsters are never
known to use that delicate type of
pistol, they said.
