Pay for Undeserving Declaring himself against cash redemption of war veterans' compensation certificates or further expenditures for veterans excepting those actually disabled in service, former Gov.

Alfred E. Smith today calls upon the "candidates for high office" to make public statements of their stands on the bonus issue. Writing under the title of "Veterans and Taxpayers" in the current Saturday Evening Post, Mr. Smith says: Asks For Plain Talk "The American people have a right to know where th candidates stand. Let us have pretty plain talk the American people, are entitled to head it.

They should not only be afforded opportunity for study of all that has happened in the past and its relationship to the whole quetsion of public money, but they are entitled to know what their candidates for high office Intend to recommend with respect to the future." The former Governor's statement was construed as a demand on Governor Roosevelt to declare himself, President Hoover having been uniformly opposed to bonus grants. Speaking his mind on the bonus subject, Mr. Smith declares: "I desire to have myself placed clearly and fairly on the record. I believe that unfair, unjust and Inequitable payments to veterans who are not deserving tends to operate against the deserving veteran. It is impossible for any group to receive fetcrans' benefits unjustly and un fairly without interfering with that group which Is Justly entitled to every single thing that this Govern ment can do for them." The former Governor begins by reviewing the high cost of Civil War pensions, from $55,000,000 in 1880 to $203,000,000 In 1930, and in the current agitation finds the lob bies working for each group of vet erans similar.

Mr. Smith's stand is with the Wilson war risk Insurance, disability and compensation acts passed in 1917. Citing the estimate that 'he cur-tent bonus commitments in 1945 have cost the Government practically equivalent to the cost of participation in the war. Mr. Smith finds that so lonn this continues, "the return to nr.

tccrlty by the encouragement of hurlncss and Individuals to invest their money in commercial enterprises will be the longer delayed." Milliner Now Predicted Temperatures warmed up again today, reaching 74 at noon, as agaiast 72 at noon yesterday, and the local Weather Bureau predicted increasing cloudiness and still warmer weather this afternoon and tomorrow. Meanwhile In Washington, Joseph M. Kinder, chief of the meteorology division of the weather bureau there, declared that he expected an other mild winter for 1932-33. Records of the Weather Bureau showed, Klncer said, that the weather moved in cycles of a few warm years succeeded by a few cold years. The last turn to warmer be gan in 1926 and, apparently, was still continuing.

Hutchinsons and Crew Taken Aboard Trawler After Finding Refuge in Eskimo Village in Greenland 2 Children Show No 111 Effects Anomagsalik, Green land, Sept. 13 (JP) Wrecked on the beach less than 40 miles from here, George Hutchinson and the seven who were flying with him from New York to London were rescued today by the British trawler Lord Talbot. None showed ill effects. A leaking gasoline tank forced them down in the water of Itersak Fiord and the plane was wrecked on one of the reefs which make navigation of the little bay perilous. Hutchinson, his wife, their two children and the crew of four men waded ashore and reached the tiny Eskimo settlement of Eker, whose few inhabitants would have abandoned the place and returned to Angmagsalik for the Winter In a few more weeks.

Eskimo sealers assisted them in saving their instruments and most of their supplies. The last boat of the season already has left Angmagsalik and if the Lord Talbot could not carry the Hutchinson party to Iceland or some European point it would be necessary for them to spend the Winter at Angmagsalik. Food Supply Scanty That would not only be trying for the Americans, particularly for the children, but actually might Involve hardship for the inhabitants of Angmagsalik, who never have much more than enough food for their own eeds during the long Winter.

13 Prospect of Franklin D. Roosevelt's election as President receives a tremendous impetus as the result of the outcome of Maine's State election, in which the Republicans have received the worst trimming since the Civil War. If it be true In a rough sense that "as Maine goes, so goes the then the chances of President Hoover's re-election are remote in the extreme. Maine's election of a Democratic Governor, other Democratic State officers and two Democratic members of Congress out of three almost a clean sweep is received at Democratic headquarters with immense Jubilation and In Administration circles with a corresponding degree of depression. Why It Is Significant That Maine's September election is rough barometer of what can be anticipated in November is an axiom of American politics, not because the Maine outcome in the past has, with some exceptions foreshadowed the Presidential attitude of the nation, but because the Maine result sets the temper and atmosphere of the Presidential campaign The Democrats in their wildest hopes never expected to score an almost clean sweep in the Maine election.

What they did hope to accomplish was to cut down the Please Turn to Page McKee Calls Transit Parley For Thursday To Plan Policy onl.R.T. Receivership May In clube Tube Unification Mayor McKee took steps today to set up a definite administration transit policy with the announce ment that he has summoned the members of the Board of Estimate, the Board of Transportation and the Transit Commission Into executive huddle on Thursday in the City Hall. Samuel Dntermyer and Corpora tlon Counsel Arthur J. W. Hilly will also attend the session.

The principal subject of discus sion at the Thursday conference, which, the Mayor indicated, will probably be the first of several transit pow-wows, will be the matter of the R. T. receivership and whether the city shall participate in this litigation. Groups at Odds The session, it was believed, will not be able to get far on the receivership issue without drifting into the broader field of unification. Both on participation in the receivership and unification a num ber of distinct differences of opinion exist among the conferees sum-money for Thursday.

Untermyer, for instance, is an advocate of the city going into the receivership wrangle, while the Transit Commis sion holds that the city would be in a more advantageous position to steer clear of Jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Untermyer and the Transprri atlon Board are likewise far apart on the unification valuations, while Mc Kee's ideas on this issue are reported to be for even lower values than those held by either.

Both the victorious Democratic Congressional candidates are wet. Their opponents were dry. 18 Precincts Unreported Only 18 precincts were unreported and they were almost entirely among the smaller villages some of them not casting more than a total of ten votes In previous elections.

Even if the entire voting list in these precincts turned out and gave the Republicans an overwhelming majority they could overhaul the Democrats. Republicans strengthened their hold in the First Congressional District. Louis J. Brann, lawyer and close friend of Daniel J. McGilllcuddy the last Democrat to go to Congress from this State had a majoritp of 1.387 over State Senate President Burligh Martin for the Governorship.

Republican Congressman Carrlll L. Beedy held an advantage of 2.081 votes the greatest majority of any of the four contests over Joseph E. F. Connely.
