Mills Defends Hoover’s Assertion That U. S. Was Nearly Off Gold Standard
BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 19— (UP)— Secretary of Treasury Ogden L. Mills tonight defended President Hoover’s recent assertion that at one time a few months ago the United States was in extreme danger of being forced off the gold ----“standard.
In a speech here, Mills reiter-
LaFollette To Give Support To Roosevelt
N. Y. Governor’s Policies Are More Progressive, Says Senator
MADISON, Wis., Oct 19.—(UP) —Progressive Republican Senator Robert M. LaFollette Jr., endorsed the Democratic presidetial candidacy of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt today and thereby began another of Wisconsin’s political wars.
In urging election of Democratic candidates for president, governor and U. S. Senator, young I-aFol-; lette brought down upon him the wrath of regular Republicans who indicated they would begin the I greatest fight to prevent his re-election in 1934.
Denounces Hoover
LaFollette denounced President Herbert Hoover and the other regular Republican candidates, switched his support to their Democratic opponents, and mentioned possibility of a third party in the future.
“Regardless of the outcome of this election. I shall continue to work in the senate with the Pro gressive group, fighting for the economic and political principles in which we believe, firmly convinced that ultimately there will be a new political realignment that will afford a definite party organization for those who believe in the fundamental concepts of democracy,” he said.
Third Party Pressure
LaFollette in the past withstood great pressure from his Progressive colleagues in the senate who wanted him to lead a third party movement. He always replied that the time and events were not yet propitious.
Regular Republicans administered a severe beating to the LaFol lette faction in the Wisconsin pri marv election last month. Significant was the comeback of former Governor Walter J. Kohler, best known for colored bathtubs and a model industrial village, before his entry into politics four years ago. Kohler, a regular, defeated the senator’s brother, Gov. Philip LaFollette, for the Republican nomination recently.
ated the President’s analysis of the danger to the gold standard and severely attacked Speaker of the House John M. Garner. Both Garner aud Senator Carter Glass, J Dem.. Va., one of the nation’s ; leading fiscal authorities, questioned Mr. Hoover’s statement.
Score Garner
Going even further than Mr. Hoover did in his Des Moines Iowa, speech, Mills said the whole financial structure of the country would have been “undermined” if measures sponsored by Garner in the house had become law. He then delivered this biting condemnation of the speaker’s record.
“I venture to say, without fear i of contradiction, that in the long history of American congresses the financial record of the Democratic house of representatives during 1 the last session of the congress is , the worst ever made.”
Credits Hoover
Only by President Hoovers determined fight against such measures and for legislation to strengthen the nation’s credit structure was a panic averted and the country saved from disaster, Mills declared.
Replying to Garner’s recent speech in New York, in which the speaker said the integrity of the monetary system was never in : danger, Mills declared:
"Mr. Garner admits that our banking and credit systems were threatened with collapse. He denies that their collapse would have imperilled the maintenance of the gold standard. This, on the face of it, is self contradictory. Ohe must necessarily follow the other.”

Golden State Road Best Driving Route
Trojans planning to make the trip to Stanford by automobile are advised to go by way of the Golden State highway because of its excellent condition and time and distance saving advantages. Approximately 42 miles shorter than other routes, it will save around two hours driving for the tired S.C. rooter.
The Golden State highway following up through Bakersfield. Tulare, Merced, and on up through Modesto, Manteca, and Hayward, leads the wav into Palo Alto with e total distance of 406 miles covered, on the average, in about 11% hours.
This route is also noted for its fine accommodations along the way. Night stops can be made at any of the above mentioned points with the assurance of complete rest and good service at low rates. Just follow the government signs, “U.S. 99.’’ and your navigation troubles will be over.
Stanford Indians Stage All-U Rally
PALO ALTO, Oct. 19—Stanford Indians paraded to the Pavilion tonight and staged an all-university rally preparatory to the Southern California game Saturday. Cars formed in line in front of the Fiji house at the end of the row at 7 o’clock from whence they proceeded to the Pavilion for the short pep-rally.
As the men filed into the pavilion each was given a package of cigarettes of a popular brand. There was free dancing for an hour after the rally, the music being provided by a 10-piece orchestra.
A torchlight parade, and hundreds of students not riding in cars marched behind the procession.
Organizations Are Warned by Annual
If all campus organizations do not comply with the request of reserving space in the 1932 El Rodeo immediately, Paul Harwick, business manager of the annual, yesterday asserted, these groups | will be left out unless they make : arrangements immediately for a page this year.
First payment on pages alloted to fraternities, sororities, and other organizations, will be due November 1. This sum will be $25, which is part of the total amount, $45 per page. The remaining $20 is due on November 15.
Wishing to speed up collections so that this years El Rodeo may appear as speedily as possible, Harwick urged all groups, those previousy represented and others not fortunate in buying space before, to make reservations and get their group picture in the annual. Purchase of space entitles any of the organizations to a page containing a description of the group and the photograph of its members.
In case any of these clubs, fraternities, or sororities do not desire to purchase the alloted page, the business manager’s office should be notified as soon as pos-■ sible.
A new low in play productions admission prices was announced today by Wallace Fraser, manager for the underclass play “The Jade God,” which will be presented on October 28 in Bovard auditorium. Admission will be by activity books, and for outsiders and those who did not obtain student activity books a reduced rate of 40 cents has been made. The lowest admission ever offered before for an all-university play has been 75 cents.
“This reduction has been made,” Fraser stated, “because we are still catering to the illusion of a depression, and incidently it .may be a boon to the students wrho are making the trip northward this week-end.” This plan is in accordance with the general movement for economy in student affairs on the campus.
Rehearsed Four Weeks
“The Jade God,” which his been in rehearsal for the past four weeks, is cast almost entirely from newcomers on the campus, only four of the players being sophomores. That this production is a fine vehicle for new students to introduce themselves, theatrically speaking, to the campus, was expressed by W. Ray MacDonald, who has complete charge of the play. He pointed out that several actors and actresses who have been in a number of campus productions, or who have coached these plays were first seen in an underclass play.
Preparations for stage effects, lighting, etc., are being taken care of by an augmented stage crew under the supervision of Val Jean McCoy and Bill Hoppe. There will be only one interior for the entire three acts, that of the study in which the murdered man is found. This setting, however, will be intricate, and requires concentrated effort to make it workable.
Mystery Play
“Hallowe’en, and ‘The Jade God’ ought to combine effectively to cause the campus one great long shudder,” Fraser said. The fact that these two events come almost simultaneously is appropriate, for “The Jade God” is a type of mystery play calculated to frighten and thrill an audience.
The cast, coached by Dorothea Bell, is composed of the following: Elizabeth Drake, Joyce Bergman, Edwin Dunning, Fred Hamilton, John Dumbrille, Helen Hostettler, Robert Onthank, Nancy Ruff, Richard Salisian.
For the first time in the history i of Columbia university, members of fraternities may serve as dance i patrons.

Roosevelt, in Talk, Opposes Soldier Bonus
Democratic Nominee Says Federal Treasury Can Not Stand Strain
Hoover ‘Campaign Fear’ Scored by New York Governor
FORBES FIELD, Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 19—(UP)—Governor Roosevelt tonight declared himself opposed to full cash payment of the soldiers bonus until the federal treasury has a surplus of cash.
Speaking before a huge throng, Roosevelt repeated a paragraph from a newspaper interview published last April in which he said: "I do not see how, as a matter of practical sense, a government running behind two billion dollars annually can consider the anticipation of bonus payment until it has a balanced budget, not only on paper but with a surplus of cash in the treasury.”
Viewpoint Not Changed After quoting his April bonus statement, Roosevelt added:
"No one, for political purposes or otherwise, lias the right in the absence of explicit statement from me, to assume that my views have changed. They have not. So much for another effort by Republican leaders to preach an unwarranted gospel of fear and panic to the American electorate.”
He referred particularly to the assertion by former President Coolidge in his recent New York speech to the effect that a word from Roosevelt against the bonus wrould be a great encouragement to business.
Hits At Republicans
Roosevelt opened his Forbes field speech tonight by assailing the Republican party for fostering a campaign of fear. He termed Isis opponents “panic breeders.”
“There are some prices too high for the country to pay for the propaganda spread ab.oad in a presidential election,” Roosevelt said.

Thomas Urges Socialist Vote
Advises Socialization of Federal Reserve and Postal Savings
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 19.—(U P)—Norman Thomas urged upon conservative Kentuckians tonight his election as Socialist president of the United States. He said only a Socialist president could rebuild the country’s banking system, which he called "the most corrupt and incompetent feature of American life.”
He said the Insull collapse, the Kreuger disaster and innumerable bank failures proved that socialization of the banking structure was necessary.
The Socialist program, he said, would attack the banking problem with tha five following reforms:
1.	Socialization of the Federal reserve system.
2.	Expansion of the Postal Savings bank.
3.	Publicly owned Municipal and State banks.
4.	Reserve banks empowered to lend directly to Municipal, State, and Federal authorities which operate socialized public utilities.
5.	A central financial administration connected with the Federal reserve system and also with a national economic planning council with "steadily increasing powers over the issuance of credit and the direction of investment into industrial channels.”
Trojan War Flag Will Be Raised From Tower of Administration Building at*9:50 a.m. Today ; Coach Jones Is Assembly Speaker
By Wendell Sether
With a rally in Bovard auditorium this morning, and a parade and rally this evening to send them off. I roy s .football stalwarts will leave tonight on the Southern Pacific for Palo Alto, where they do battle with Pop W arner s Stanford Indians Saturday.	*	“
Because the Trojans, for the first time in several years, are not favored to win the game, the rally committee is outdoing itself in giving the team a send-off comparable to a Cecil B. De Mille mob scene.
Trumpet Fanfare
A fanfare of trumpets will call S. C. students to the Administration building at 9:50 this morning, when the Trojan war flag will be raised to the tower flagpole.
At 9:55 a.m. Hal McCormie the console of the Bovard auditorium organ will open a football rally at which Coach Howard Jones, mentor of the Trojans, will speak.
* In full uniform, the Southern California band, with Harold William Roberts directing, will be on the stage, and will play collegiate pep songs. Bailey Edgerton, yell king, and his assistants, Winston and Weston Doty, will lead the singing and cheering.
Parade Forme
The parade escorting the team to the S. P. station will form at 5: 30 p.m. on University avenue beginning at 35th street and extending to Exposition boulevard.
As the procession starts for the train the Mudd hall chimes will ring out with university songs, including "FighWOn” and "Here's to Southern California.” Heading the parade will be an escort of motorcycle police and the busses carrying the team and Trojan band.
Decorations for student cars will be given free by the University Book store. Joe Bushard, rally chairman, asks that all automobiles in the parade be decorated by the time the procession forms.
The parade line of march will be: University avenue to Jefferson blvd., to Flower street, to 5th street to the Southern Pacific station, and the special motorcycle police squadron will lead the way.
Former Secretary Dies
SEABRIGHT, N. J., Oct. 19— (UP)—Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war in the cabinet of President Wilson from March 5, 1913 to February 10, 1916, died at his home here tonight.
Rally At Train
At the train, a back platform rally will be held, with Coach Jones speaking and members of the team being introduced. Loudspeakers will be installed to enable the participants to be heard.
Leaving the station at 7:45 p. m. the Trojan football team will journey to the Castlewood country club, near Palo Alto, where the squad will stay until game time Saturday.
Unprecedented sales for the Stanford game have completely exhausted the Southern Californ'a quota of tickets although a limited number of prepaid orders on the Stanford ticket department are availaL.e. it was revealed laat night by Arnold Eddy, graduate manager.
Complying with the deadlines printed in the student Ucket book3 S. C. officials haJ rooter’s tickets on sale up to Tuesday, when the last one was sold. Thi demand for ducats was so great that another large block of reserved seats at $2.75 were quickly bought up.
The only way for football fans to secure seats now is to pay $2.75 at the S. C. ticket office and receive a prepaid receipt for a ticket to be secured at the stadium. This procedure will probably be ill effect for a very short time, since northern fans are buying in ir-creasing numbers. These seats are it the ends of the stadium.
About 70 per cent of the S. C. rooting section is sold out to m; n. It wa» impossible to enlarge the section after the unanticipated sellout, for the surrounding seats were reserved and soid out some time ago, Eddy declared. When the rooters’ tickets were first placed on sale, the iruponse was very slow. Following warnings in the Daily Trojan, however, the ticket office was stoimed Monday and Tuesday.
Eddy also urged students to buy I tickets for the California game on November 5. Reserved s-*ats at $3.30 and $2.20 are on sale, as well as rooters' tickets tor $1.10.
‘On To Palo Alto’ Is Cry Of Southern Californians
By rail, ship, plane, and automobile, thousands of Southern California football fans will travel to the Stanford stadium tomorrow and Saturday in what is said to be one of the greatest treks in gridiron history.
With the game practically a sell-out, all reservations taken on steamship lines, and railroads running trains in several sections, it is estimated that 25,000 persons wrill make the trip to Palo Alto.
Tonight the S. S. Ruth Alexander will leave San Pedro bound north with a full passenger list. The boat will spend Friday at sea, arriving in San Francisco on Saturday morning. A leisurely trip, this voyage is attracting hundreds of Trojans who enjoy the salt tang of the ocean breezes.
The Phi Phis have practically chartered the more speedy Lassco liner S. S. Yale, which leaves I*
A. harbor tomorrow at 4 p.m. Sold out long ago, this sleek white boat will overtake the Ruth Alexander at the Golden gate, and dock almost at the same time.
Special trains carrying the substitute players, Spartans, the Trojan band and Male chorus, and a part of the rooting section will steam out of the S. P. station at 9 p.m. One car of these trains will be set aside for dancing.
Following these will come the Alumni special, running in several sections. Southern Pacific officials are also adding additional cars to the Lark, the Golden State limited, and the Padre.
In addition, highways will be dotted with cars as the Trojan host takes to the road in everything from rakish roadsters and lumbering limousines to quiwering flivvers in an effort to see the Stanford game
