Club Seeks 5,000 New Votes on Heights 20 Members to Make Intensive Canvass to Get Full Citizenship to the Polla The Young Republican Club of Brooklyn has chosen the Height section of the 1st A. D. for a unique campaign experiment this year, George W. McKente president, told Heights Republicans last night.

McKenzie, accompanied by a large delegation from his organization, called at the regular meeting of the 1st A. D. Republican Club, 21 SchermeThorn and outlined plans. About 20 members of the club, from all parts of the borough, will descend within a week upon the already normally Republican Heights section. For a month the workers will attempt to bring out what McKenzie estimates as "5.000 Republicans who have never voted before." Richard W.

Thomas, candidate for Congress; Harry Levine for State Senate, and Arthur J. Harrison, for Assembly, will be supported by the outside group. Thomas, speaking last night, said: "My opponent. John J. Delaney, is refusing to let us know how he stands on any issue.

There is nothing I would like more than to debate the genleman on any subject of current importance. But he will not accept the challenge. When a Democrat gets Into office he keeps his mouth closed. If I were as unqualified as the average Democratic: legislator too, would not open my mouth." Bronx Grand Jury To Quiz Film Men About Bomb Cases With Reichsta He Ignores Summons by Committee Nazi Group Talks of Force Berlin, Sept. 13 The breach between the Von Papen Government and the hostile Reichstag was widened today.

The Chancellor and Baron Von Gayl, Minister of the Interior, declined to answer a summons before the Reichstag Committee for safeguarding the rights of the Parliament. This committee functions even after the Reichstag is dissolved. The oppositoin contends that the committee has Jurisdiction over the dispute which arose yesterday when the Chancellor promulgated a de-cree of dissolution after the Reichstag had passed a vote of non-confidence by an overwhelming majority. Ask Hindenburg to Act The two Cabinet members said they would attend the committee session if Hermann Goering. the National Socialist Speaker of the House, would withdraw the letter he sent the Chancellor yesterday, notifying him that the Reichstag, having voted nonconfldence, would not recognize the decree of dissolution.

The committee aserted that the Cabinet had clearly violated the Constitution and decided to ask President Von Hindenburg to compel the Chancellor and his Cabinet to appear before the committee. National Socialists In Brunswick threatened today to depart from Adolf Hitler's program of adhering to legal means in his campaign for control of the Government. "Hitler swore he would seibe power only legally," said Ernst Zoerner, president of the Brunswick Diet and also a member of the National Reichstag. "He still adheres to that oath, but if the Government should depart from the legal The man waving farewell with his panama is none other than Governor Roosevelt (1) starting from Albany on his Western campaign tour.

Call Rival Union Head Geoglian lo Grill Witnesses in Blast Here The Bronx grand jury today was to launch an inquiry into the motion picture operators' union war with the questioning of leaders of the rival unions to determine the responsibility for the placing of stench bombs and even explosives in some cases in motion picture theaters in that borough.

District Attorney William F. X. Gcoghan in Brooklyn meanwhile expected to question several witnesses in connection with the bombing of Loew's 46th Street Theater early Saturday morning. Geoghan declined to reveal who his witnesses would be or the information he expected to gain. The witnesses subpenacd for the Bronx inquiry include Samuel Kaplan and Jack Winick, president and director of Motion Picture Operators Union 306, and Arthur Far-kash, head of the Empire State Motion Picture Operators Union.

The trio were questioned by Police Commissioner Mulrooney yesterday, but said that they could throw no light on the bomb outrages. path and rely upon the bayonet, we The only positively charged units of matter heretofore known have been the protons which have a mass of about 1,850, compared with the negatively charged electron. Tracks made by particles moving through a fog chamber in which a sheet of lead has been placed have been photographed by Dr. Anderson. The chamber was placed in a magnetic field of known strength.

The deflection of the particles by the magnetic field gives an Index of their mass and charge. How Fog Chamber Works The fog chamber Is a glass vessel containing some water. Associated with It is a means of suddenly reducing the air pressure. This causes the air to take up a maximum amount of water vapor, which remains invisible until a high speed particle traverses the air in the chamber. The high speed particle knocks electrons off the atoms near its path.

These electrons serve as points of condensation for the water vapor and minute drops of water make a white line of fog along the line traversed by the electrified particle. By photographing this line a record is secured of the path of the particle. The direction in which the line is bent gives an index of the charge on the particle and the amount of the bending gives the index of (ts mass. The speed with which the particle moves Is given in terms of volts a speed of volts being the speed with which an electron would move in an electrical field having that difference In potential. In the experiments of Dr.

Anderson a lead plate having a thickness of 6 millimeters (about 3 nickels) was placed in the fog chamber. Three photographs were obtained by Dr. Anderson. In one there was a track above and below the lead plate. In two others the tracks were entirely below the plate.

Banker Gets Watch For Holdup Bravery In recognition of his courage during a recent holdup, Nathan A. Barell, vice president of the Ben-sonhurst National Bank, 8510 Bay Parkway, today was presented with a watch, the gift of the United States Fidelity Guarty Co. Barell, when ordered by the gunmen to open the money vault, bent the key in the lock so that the door would not open, thereby saving a far greater loss to the surety company than occurred. The presentation was made by Alonzo Gore Oakley, vice president of the bonding company. Police Start Census Of City Jobless Acting on order of Mayor McKee, 10,000 police today were taking a census of the city's unemployed.

Expressing the belief that destitution this Winter is likely to exceed that of any other period of the depression, the Mayor stated that an accurate census was essential. He said he feared that $6,000,000 month ly may be needed for relief during the cold months.

The revolt was led by Col. Arturo Merino Benitez. The movement started a few hours after the en tire cabinet resigned and President Davirla succeeded in reshuffling the ministries and forming a new gov ernment. The government closed the news paper La Opinion because it pub lished Colonel Merino's manifesto, in which he declared President Davirla had failed to follow the Socialist program laid down when a revolt and two counter-revolts upset the government last July. sound advise for a New Yorker traveling in the wild and woolly West.

'Of if Portland, Sept. 13 UP) A proposed resolution censuring President Hoover for the use of troops to drive the bonus -army from Washington, and others on the bonus and prohibition kept American Legion convention committees busy today whUe the rank and file formed for the Legion parade. The presence of Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley, who was cheered and booed in an appearance the opening day of the national convention, and who took exception to remarks of Floyd Gibbons, writer and radio speaker, over the bonus army evictions, heightened interest in controversial questions.

Hurley clashed with Gibbons during a dinner given by Henry L. Stevens national commander of the Legion, last night. Answers Gibbons Charges Gibbons criticized the methods used in ejecting the B. E. P.

from Washington, D. C. He accused the army of having started the fires which destroyed bonus camps and said the men had been orderly when the troops were called in. Hurley responded to the challenge with characteristic fire. "I have never failed to take It on' the chin when I had anything coming," he said.

"If you have anything to say to me, say it! I never thought the Government was in danger. I have always believed the people of the nation have a peaceable way for settlement of their disputes and that they will use those peaceful methods. "But when there are riots, peace must be restored." Denies Troops Set Fires "When men are rioting, when two lives have been taken, when the police and civil authorities of a city and district are overpowered by those rioters, I want to say to you that when any man tells you that Is law and order, he is not stating the facts. "My friend, Mr. Gibbons, told you that the soldiers set fire to the humble homes of these men.

That is not the fact. The fires were set by the men themselves. No members of the army would do that. All the fatalities that occurred on the day of which you have heard so much took place before the arrival of the United States Army." Hurley spoke earnestly as he read the orders he had written at President Hoover's direction. 'Now, can you find any fault with those orders?" he asked.

"Are they unjustly harsh? I ordered out the armed forces of the Government to protect the marchers as well as others. "There were men among that group in Washington who came in an orderly way to state their case for whom I would lay down my life to protect. There were wonder fully fine men among them. But there were other men there, too, All were not angels. And I want to tell you that this is a Government of a majority and not a Govern ment of a minority." Delegates cheered a speech by Mayor James M.

Curley of Boston, who said war-time heroes had been "shot down like dogs In the capital of our nation." Judicial Council Urged to Effect Court Reforms Establishment of a Judicial council to bring about reforms in the courts that the legislature and her associations have been unable to obtain was advocated this afternoon in a radio address over station WINS by Ira S. Robbins, chairman of the committee on courts of the Citizens' Union. The speaker cited cases in which, under the present procedure, defendants in negligence cases can drag the Issues out for three or more years with the result that, as often as not, "the winner in the litigation is the loser." Leglsltive investigation reports, Mr. Robbins continued, are pigeonholed, and little hope can be held for the Legislature. The Legislature, he said, "pays no real attention to the problem of administration of the courts.

Besides, many of Its members are the ones that benefit by keeping up the wasteful system under which they get large and easy fees for doing little or nothing as receivers, referees, when appointed by Judges, anj speical guardians." The council recommended would be composed of laymen as well as Judges "aa a permanent body, should have the power to make rules of administration for which the Legislature now has the respon sibility, but neither the time nor the interest." 'Bomb' Was Finders Lose It There's $33.13 in nickels, dimes and pennies at the Coney Island police station today and two very chagrined men living at 1919 Mermaid Ave. The men, Louis Sperling and Louis Rapp, saw a small boy running from the hallway. Near the head of the stairway they found a package wrapped in newspapers. Convinced it was a bomb, they forgot about the boy and rushed to find a policeman. Patrolman Daniel Cooney took the two men and the package to the police station, where it was opened by Lt.

Carl Anderson. The boy, meantime, disappeared. Inside was the money plus a number of slot machine slugs. Earl Bureae, Colorado Building. Washington, Sept.

13 The attempt of the Administration to place the blame for use of Federal troops against the bonus marchers on Maj. Pelham D. Glassford, Chief of Police, has precipitated an official row of the first magnitude, in which the sympathies of Washington's population in general are with Major Glassford. The immediate issue is whether or not Glassford stated to the commissioners of the District of Columbia that the presence of troops was required on July 28, the date of the bonus marchers' eviction. The Department of Justice and the District commissioners state that Glassford gave it as his opinion, when consulted, that troops were needed.

Seeks to Blame Glassford Major Glassford states that he did not favor the calling of troops and that they were brought Into action with his knowledge. He did state, however, that if further evictions were to be made on the afternoon of July 28, after the first brush with the police, Federal troops would be needed. Behind this immediate issue lies a broader situation, in which the Administration appears to be attempting to place the blame for the bonus riots on Major Glassford. From the moment the troops were hwung Into action the attitude of the War Department, the White House and now the Department of Justice has been one of criticism nad blame of Washington's chief of police. The facta are that for two months the Federal Government in all its branches avoided becoming involved in the bonus marchers situation, that the whole roblem was left to the municipal government of the District of Columbia and that the municipal government left it to Superintendent Glassford.

His attitude was tactful, discreet and Criminal Charge Weak For two months while he had the situation under his control, there were no serious disorders, and it was his hope that after Congress adjourned the veterans would disperse and go to their homes without the use of force. Because the Department of Justice report is shot through with implied criticism of the Police Chief and because it contains a number of expressions of personal opinion by Attorney General Mitchell as to what might or might not have happened, the report is regarded here as more or leas of a self serving declaration with an abvlous animus and with a distortion of the whole atmosphere of the bonus encamp. ment. which Major Glassford has been quick to repudiate. The fact that the two men who were shot turned out to be ex-soldiers and that the three indictments, which is all that the Government has been able to obtain, were of ex-service men.

with good war records, is regarded here as the most convincing answer to the Administration's charge that the bonus marchers were composed In measurable degre, of ex-criminals and general social dregs. On the broad issue of where the initiative came from for the use of troops all Washington is aware that Major Glassford was opposed from the first to the use of force, that he made strenuous efforts to avoid force, and that he told a number of newspapermen, on the morning of July 28, that he was still opposed to the use of troops. Indede, one of the apparent counts of the Department of Justice against Major Glassford is that he was too llenient. This does not prevent the department on the other hand, from claiming that troops were used on Glassford's advice.

l-lUte Roosevelt Off To Clinch West And Farm Belt Continued from Page 1 farm relief speech he will deliver in Vice President Curtis' political backyard, Topeka. Wednesday. Roosevelt boarded the train in the Union Depot at Albany at 11:30 o'clock last night, waving a greeting to the 150 persons who crowded around the observation platform of his car. 'California, Here I Come' "California, here I come," wisecracked the candidate, who is making the first extensive tour in his campaign against the gentleman from Palo Alto, President Hoover. For the benefit of the talkies, he held his straw hat at arm's length, not clenched in the fashion, Just held even as you and I.

"I'm saving the hat for the California weather," the Governor laughed. Then he disappeared inside his car accompanied by his son, James Roosevelt; James' wife, the former Betsy Cushing of Boston, and Mrs. Curtis the Governor's daughter. He left word not to be disturbed too early in the morning. While he was posing for the movies, the Governor looked over the railing of the observation platform and undoubtedly noticed with a good deal of satisfaction that Assemblyman John Hayes, staunch Albany Democrat, was standing in the front row of the spectators with' a huge Roosevelt for President button weighing down his coat lapel.

O'Connella Not There To be sure, the O'Connell brothers, the Albany leaders who welcomed Jimmy Walker with a band and parade, were not there to wish the candidate luck, but it was late at night and maybe the Albany Democrats retire early. The first Impression one gets from this rolling show is that it lacks the class of the Smith campaign train, but that was before the depression. There is no club-conference car along such as Al had and in which he chewed his cigars, dictated his speeches and saw leaders and correspondents. Trimmings Left Off And there is no woncroom for the press nor a 24-hour dining service. All those trimmings have been left off in the interests of economy.

On the rear of the Governor private car is a large lighted sign, reading, "The Roosevelt Special." Two amplifiers peak out from beneath the roof. The next three cars are occupied by newspapermen, radio manipulators and the cameramen. Next comes the club car and two baggage cars. One baggage car has been set aside for the mimeograph machines.

He also delivered a bitter attack on "coalitions" within Germany, aiming a special shaft at Adolf Hit ler's Nazis. "When you gentlemen of the Nazis," he said, "begin your class warfare against the fine people, gainst the barons, and when you think success at the elections will follow such tactics, I am afraid you are in for a bitter disappointment." L. I. Potato Men Charge New Jersey Is Underselling Riverhead, L. Sept.

13 Charges that New Jersey potato shippers and growers are violating their agreement not to undersell Long Island potatoes in the New York City market, were made today by I. M. Young, president of the I. M. Young Company, one of the largest of Long island potato shippers.

Young declared that whereas Long Island farmers, acting in compliance with resolutions adopted at a county-wide mass meeting on Sept. 2, are withholding potatoes and are not selling for less than 60 to 65 cents, the Jersey shippers are "flooding the market" with Jersey shipments at 10 percent below Long Island prices. Light Demand for L. I. Potatoes A poll of Long Island shippers today disclosed that the demand for Long Island potatoes is very light: and in fact is far below the normal demand for this time of the year.

William H. Housner, head of the J. T. Panning Company, declared that the demand was "very limited." The same comment was made by Maxim Bobinski, large shipper, and by J. C.

Corwith, president of the Suffolk County Farm Bureau. Corwith furthermore asserted that Suffolk farmers unquestionably have been withholding potatoes from the market. The same opinion was expressed by John S. Ryder, chairman of the executive committee of the Farm Bureau. W.

G. Been, Farm Bureau manager, said today that since the mass meeting of Sept. 2 potato shipments have been very light. At the mass meeting Dr. William H.
