Washington, Oct. 20. (/P)—Pelham
D. Glassford, superintendent of Wash¬
ington police who was at odds with
administration members over the call¬
ing of troops to evict the bonus ar¬
my, has tendered his resignation to
the District of Columbia commission¬
ers.
Glassford, a retired brigadier gen¬
eral, disputed statements by his su¬
periors that he had said troops were i
necessary to restore order following i
clashes His resignation, between veterans however, and police, j
of gtticial opposition to changes grew out in j |
pe;*%nel he wished to make in the !
pdriee department.
Criticised because of the manner in \
which he handled the bonus army, I
Glassford relied by declaring that the
situation was never out of control of
the police. He contended the calling
of the troops who drove the veterans
from government property on -Tuly
28 with tear gas and bayonet was
unnecessary.
The police chief also challenged a
statement by Attorney General
Mitchell which said the bonus army
probably brought to Washington “the
largest aggregation of criminals ever
assembled in the city at any time.”
There was less crime during June
and July when the veterans were en¬
camped in Washington than in Au¬
gust after they were driven away, re¬
joined Glassford.
He participated resulted in the summer
fighting which in two veter¬
ans being fatally wounded by police
bullets. His badge was snatched by
a veteran but the police head quickly
recovered it.
After Glassford announced plans
for a reorganization of his force op¬
position developed to the transfer of
Inspector Frank S. W. Burke, head of
the dective bureau, to another post.
In his letter of resignation, the po¬
lice superintendent said he accepted
office on condition that he have a
free hand in the selection and assign¬
ment of “my principal assistants.”
“I find myself,” he continued, “in
the equivocal position of so many
other police chiefs in the United
States, namely, holding a position of
great responsibility but deprived of
the essential authority to discharge
it without fear or favor.”

MAN WHO ONCE RETIRED SWORN
IN TODAY IN RUMANIA
AS CABINET LEADER
Bucharest, Rumania, Oct. 20. UP )—
Dr. Juliu Maniu, veteran leader of the
Rumanian peasant party—who once of
went into a frowning retirement
silence, some of his friends said, be¬
cause of the presence in Rumania of
the red-haired Mme. Magda Lupescu,
friend of King Carol—was sworn in
today as head of the new cabinet by
the king.
The veteran former premier, who
was head of the government when
Carol suddenly returned from his
Paris exile more than two years ago,
succeeded in forming a cabinet last
week, after a political squabble which
lasted all week.
He was called by King Carol last
week from his native Transylvania,
to solve the crisis that develop¬
ed out of the quarrel between
former Premier Vaido - Voevod
and Nicholas Titulescu, former am¬
bassador to Great Britain. Vaido
Voevod had refused to, accept M.
Titulescu as foreign minister and the
latter refused to accept the former’s
recent treaty of non-aggression with
Soviet Russia.
Where Mme. Magda is today was
uncertain. Reports that she was liv¬
ing near Bucharest have been denied
by the government.

ENLISTS AS CAMPAIGNER ON
BEHALF OF PRESIDENT BUT
DISAVOWS PARTY INTEREST
Detroit, Oct. 20. (/P)—Disavowing
any interest in party politics, Henry
Ford today was enlisted as a cam¬
paigner on behalf of President Hoov
In a radio address last night—his
first of that nature—the automobile
manufacturer said that “I support the
best man for the job. If Herbert
Hoover were a Democrat, with his
record during the last four years, I
should have to support him.”
Much of his address was devoted to
the need of “a money system managed
as our weather bureau is, for the pro¬
tection of the people’s business,” and
he said he would “like to see it done
by a man of practical experience like
Mr. Hoover.”
Congress, he said, “farmed out the
national money system to private
hands” and “should take back full con¬
trol of money and give the United
States a public service money system
as opposed to a private profit money
system.”
He said President Hoover “is carry¬
ing a greater burden than Abraham
Lincoln carried—and he is carrying it
in a way that places him beside Lin¬
coln in sacrificial service.”
The president, he said, “kept his
head when others lost theirs. No act
of his has been dictated by panic or
politics. And the result is that we
are now beginning to feel the lifting
power of his well-thought-out pro
| gram.”

Garrison’s Death
Recalls Conflict
With President
Sea Bright, N. J., Oct. 20. (/P)—The
death of Lindley M. Garrison, former
secretary of war, recalled today his
sharp disagreement with Woodrow
Wilson over national defense prob¬
lems and sudden resignation from that
president’s cabinet in 4916.
Garrison died here last night. Dur¬
ing his 68 years he served both as a
New Jersey state official and in
Washington.
Wilson made Garrison’s acquaint¬
ance in New Jersey, where he was
vice president from 1904 to 1912. Dur¬
ing the latter part of this time Wil¬
son was governor, and when he went
to the White House he put Garrison
at the head of the war department.
His break with Wilson came unex
pectedy early in 1916. Garrison had
been pressing for a national defense
plan built upon a federal continental
army as opposed to the national
guard. Wilson, too, espoused the
plan in public speeches but in corres
nnnzlovi pondence z< zi with lirif Vi Garrison I lorricntl said (Vttif that
while he believed control of the mili¬
tary reserve would be placed under
federal direction, he was not “irrevo
cably or dogmatically committed to
one plan.”
On February 10, 1916, Garrison re
signed because “it is evident that we
hopelessly disagree upon what I con
ceive . _ f___ to i I be fundamental /• 1 .. i .. 1 principles.” • • 1
His assistant secretary, Henry
Breckinridge, resigned with him. New¬

Takes Issue With Democratic
Spokesmen Who Charge Pres
ident With Responsibility j
For Depression
OUTLINES FACTS IN
CHICAGO ADDRESS
Declares Country in Better
Shape Than Ever Before to
Go Forward and Enjoy Period
of Prosperity.
Chicago, Oct. 20. (/P)—Chairman
Everett Sanders of the Republican
national committee tonav rook issue
with Democratic spokesmen, who, lie i
said, had charged that President Hoo- |
ver was responsible for “the world
depression.” He spoke at a Republi¬
can luncheon at the Hamilton Club.
“For weeks now,” he said, “Demo¬
cratic orators, headed by the Demo¬
cratic nominee himself, have been
telling the voters that the world de¬
pression is the result of maladminis¬
tration in Washington.
“What are the facts?
“Mr. John Raskob, former chairman
of the Democratic national committee
said in his radio address of October
27, 1920:
“ ‘In closing let me that
say no
country in the world, not even our
own, was ever in as splendid position
to go forward and enjoy a period of
prosperity as our country is today.
Everything has been thoroughly de¬
flated and business is now turning
upward. The momentum is necessar¬
ily slow at first hut within three
months with the impetus the automo¬
bile industry is sure to provide, start¬
ing with the January shows, we will
quickly leave depression behind and
ail be singing ‘Happy Days Are Here
again.’ ”
“Does anyone believe that the then
chairman was about to burst into
song if he believed that the depression
was only starting?
“But Governor Roosevelt and his
lieutenants say that President Hoover
should, in the fall of 1920, have been
taking steps to stop the depression
which he should have known was just
starting.
“Mr. Raskob didn’t know.
“The full force of the world tornado
had not yet reached our shores.
“Governor Alfred K. Smith, Demo¬
cratic nominee for the presidency in
1.928, two days later said in a radio
talk:
“ ‘At Providence, in Rhode Island
(October 27) I spoke about the pres¬
ent business depression and condition
of unemployment prevailing through¬
out the nation. I distinctly do not.
nor do I believe that any leader of
the Democratic party, takes the posi¬
tion of placing upon the Republican
party, the blame for the business de¬
pression and consequent unemploy¬
ment.’
“The Democratic leaders of 1922
are taking issue with their old stand¬
ard bearer and shouting ‘Hoover’s to
blame.’ ”

New York, Oct. 20. UP)—Alfred E.
Smith, plunging into the heat of the
national campaign, declares that the
“bright star” guiding the nation into
a “harbor and haven of repose is
complete and full Democratic victory
in November.”
Cheers echoed in the Tammany
wigwam last night as the former gov¬
ernor, making his first speech of the
national drive, snoke the names of
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Speaker John N. Garner, he said.
“I have privileged in the past—and
from a Democratic standpoint I think
the leaders of the party will still ex¬
tend me the privilege of speaking on
behalf of the rank and file of our
great party in this citv—to know that
the loyalty, the devotion of the great
Democratic organization of this city
will he exerted to the last degree in
favor of the election of Roosevelt and
Garner.”

and praised the Democratic record.
State and city issues occupied most
of his address because, he said, he
would discuss things national in New¬
ark, N. J.. Mondav night and at the
“windup” in New York city. He said
the re-election of Senator Robert F.
Warner was a “necessitv.”
“His was the first voice that was
raised in the national capitol in favor
of something to he done by the gov¬
ernment in relief of unemployment,”
he said.

Fisheries To Aid
Hungry In State
Washington, Oct. 20. I/P) The best
story of the year is credited by
federal experts to Governor Alfalfa
Bill Murray of Oklahoma.
That’s the attitude of the bureau of
fisheries toward Murray’s plan to
feed fish to Oklahomans needing re¬
lief.
Commissioner Henry O’Malley went
so far as to say “The proposition is
absolutely absurd,” arid “too much for
me.”
The governor announced in Okla¬
homa he would use part of $181,212
borrowed from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to build several
small lakes and stock them with
enough fish to give a pound to eat
daily to everybody in the state.
One fisheries bureau expert, after
explaining bass were Oklahoma's best

slowly in winper, said 100 pounds of
bass per acre of lake would be a ree
ord i yield. ■ i i
O’Malley, checking census bureau
figures showing a population of 2,-
396,040 in Oklahoma, found by hi.
records that the average large mouth
ed bans in the state weighed four
pounds.
“So figure it our for yourself,” he
said. “It’s too much for me.”
Another official figured out that the
total American catch of edible fish of
8,300,000,000 pounds yearly would al
low each Oklahoman only three
pounds daily.

Baris, Oct. 20. UP) ......France plans
to pay promptly this December in¬

“commercial” war debt to the United

by Baris newspapers today as saying,

Deputy Hayc was said to tiave ask

France shouldn’t cease paying to her
creditors. Mr. Herriot was quoted as
answering emphatically:
“Not being swindlers, we will pay
.scrupulously our commercial debts.”
