Morgenthau Resented Attack of Herbert Hoover
WITHIN TWENTY FOUR MILES OF MADRID
MORGENTHAU DENIES THE
CHARGES MADE BY HOOVER
ABOUT FED. BOOKKEEPING
_ I
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, —Is
suing a denial of Herbert Hoov
er’s charges that the administra
tion had "juggled fiscal reports”,
Secretary Morgenthau said that
the former president’s statements
might injure government credit
if permitted to go unchallenged.
Morgenthau denied Hoover’s
assertion in his Philadelphia ad
dress criticizing the methods of
keeping the government fiscal re
ports. Morgenthau denied Hoov
er’s assertion that the treasury
was keeping a system of double
bookkeeping, separating the em
ergency from the ordinary or
routine government expenditur
es.
Morgenthau said two classifies
tions were adopted in July 1933
to show the public the purpose
for wheih appropriations were us
ed, saying that the treasury does
not ordinarily answer statements
about government expenditures
made in the heat of political cam
paigns.
Morgenthau added, “when, how
ever, a former president of the
United States, in a public address
charges the treasury of the Un
ited States with intellectual dis
honesty and pernicious deceit,
public interest demands that
those charge be not ignored.”
The secretary of the treasury
said: “the facts are that the treas
ury accounts are kept strictly in
accordance with the law and are
not based upon any partisan pol
itical considerations.”
Official estimates of the gov
ernment have placed the popula
tion of Cuba at the beginning
of the year at 4,008,169.

tions at the direction of Judge
James Conland, who ruled “you
may as well call a spade a spade,
as long as you’ve gone this far.”
She testified that once after
the;r marriage, Luckenbach had
taken her to a New Orleans night
club party participated in by un
clothed men and women.

Name Mentioned
In CBS Trouble

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, — The
name of James Roosevelt and the
sale of insurance contracts to the
Columbia Broadcasting System,
was injected into the debate over
Columbia’s curtailment of Van
denberg’s speech Saturday night.
Edward Klauber, executive vice
president of the radio chain said
that young Roosevelt “had partici
pated” in negotiations for a group
insurance plan for Columbia em
ployees, in August 1934. He said
this had nothing to do with the
decision to cut Vandenberg’s ad
dress.
He repeated the previous an
nouncement that the action was
in line with the ruling against
broadcasting recorded programs.

City Of Madrid

UNDATED, Oct. 20, — Over ;
looking ancient El Escorial, bur!
ial place of Spanish kings, fas
cist armies dragged artillery to
the heights to shell and assault
another inner gateway to their
goal—Madrid.
El Escorial is twenty four mil
es northwest of the capitol and
NavaLcarno stated that two of the
last bulwarks in the govern
ment’s western front appeared !
in danger of going, that the ae'
fense of priceless art treasures
in El Escorial faced a doubtful
fate.
Spain’s President Manual Az
ana rushed to loyal autonomous
Barcelona with three ministers;
from his besieged capitol, where
he will stay “indefinitely”.
Through the socialist newspap
er Claridad, the government as
sorted that twenty five hundred
tons of munitions came to the
fascists through Portugal from
Nazi dominated Danzig and the

Polish port of Odynia.

332 PASSENGERS SAIL
ON VICTORIA TODAY
3PM FOR SEATTLE
The S. S. Victoria, veteran liner of the Alaska S. S.
Company, sailed from Nome at 3:00 P. M. today on her
last voyage South from here for Seattle, for the season
of navigation of 1936.
Loaded with about 332 passengers, reindeer meat
and gold bullion, the veteran “Vic” has made 251 voy
ages in the service of the Alaska Line, most of them
to Nome and Bering Sea and Kotzebue Sound ports.
Word to Agent Harnish yesterday evening declar
ed the steamer would again resume her regular Ber
ing Sea schedule, after a modification of two years.
This objective has been sought by shipper through
out the Seward Peninsula, for some time past.
It was learned that one shipment of gold bullion
totalled approximately $371,000, but due to explicit in
struction prohibiting the transfer company from releas
ing information regarding gold shipments, it is imposs
ible at this time to determine the full shipment aboard
the vessel, representing the final cleanups from a score
of mining camps scattered over Seward Peninsula.
However, it is believed that the shipment might
have totalled about three quarters of a million dollars,
more or less. In this respect, however, your guess is
as good as ours, and the definite figures cannot be ob
tained at this time.

toria which sailed today:
