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.

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. -—-- AIKEN RESIDENT DIES -— Aiken, S. C., Oct. 17. (/P)—B. F.
