Friday, November 18, 1932 Camden Hospital Drive ^ Various agencies an<l entertainments have -been busy for the past week to put over the $5,000 campaign for the Camden hospital so as to warrant its operation for the balance of this year.

Capital Observations 11 (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Nov. 15.?Tourist camps have gotten to be common everywhere, and in Washington thoie is one Which is quite large and pretentious. Practically everything that is required by a traveller can be procured, and at a reasonable cost. During a year some fourteen or l\fteei> thousand cars and about 45,000 persons are accommodated, covering a stay averaging two days. The Federal Farm Hoard seems destined to be abolished as soon as the matter can be taken up in Congress, where it has few if any friends. Its functions have largelyo been taken over by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The Farm Board has done little other than pile up obligation*, but some good might have been accomplished had able and representative men been appointed to administer its affairs. The member designated^ by Hoover to represent the cotton growers was a cheap politician who brought himself into ridicule by advancing the'crazy proposition that Southern farmers chop up every third row of cotton. It looked so much like the entire country wanted to put a "dent" in the pres-i-dent that the election came near being unanimous. During a presidential campaign in the somewhat distant past when the Democrats were if possible just as eager as they are now to get "possession of the appointive offices, a potent slogan was, "Turn the rascals out." That was before civil service had made very great advances. '1 he turning-out process will start promptly after the fourth of next March, and Republican office holders Will need to he thoroughly and firmly intrenched with civil service protection in order to retain their jobs. Those who are not may well be making preparations for their exit. The unprecedented Democratic victory is linked to a large extent, and properly so, with the wide-spread realization of the failure of prohibition, and with opposition to further dallying with present conditions. The question now arises as to what will be the first step towards carrying out the mandate of the electorate, and the concensus of opinion is for mollification of the Volstead Act, so as to legalize beer. As to the time of this accomplishment, however, there is a wide divergence of opinion. A number of prominent Democratic officials, including Senator Byrnes, hold that such a step may be taken at the coming short session of Congress, but others deeply interested, including practically all of the professional dry forces, hold that it wFIf be impossible to get a law to that effect passed this winter. President Hoover has never publicly expressed himself on the subject, and his course is problematical should a bill reach him for approval or veto before he goes out of office. President-elect Roosevelt has approved strongly the legalization of beer, coupling it with the need for additional revenue and if not sooner, a beer bill will be promptly pa jed when the 73rd Congress is called in special session, as most likely it will lx> in any event. The vote in the presidential election was so generally and overwhelmingly against Hoover that it would be difficult to determine which class or body of citizens were most opposed. However, it may be safely said that the votes of former soldiers were almost unanimously in opposition because of the inhuman treatment of the Bonus Army and their unwarranted denunciation as a mob of criminals. During their stay here the superintendent of police was Gen. Pelham G. Glassford, a former army officer. and a specially worthy and efficient chief. He endeavored to look upon the human side of the situation and to handle the men with some degree of consideration, and for this reason he has since been forced out of his position. In a published article Gen. G!a<sf<>rd has used per, hap< a- strong language as. has ever .been resur?tcd to regarding a hig:. ofJ !i .a!, a ho ought at lea<: to he w thy I nf rrr<b r *e and. respect# (?.a ord -ay-' that it i- absolutely ur. ti".? as ;P . -.d? :r. Hoover stated in hie- littei | publishing the attorney goner a1 taek upon the bonus expeditionary force. that >t contained an extraordinary proportion of criminal, communist and n<jgi-veteran elements. H< avers that in making this statement the president exposed himself to th< charge that he sought to deceive the people as to his motive in ordering the eviction of the veterans by the V S. Army. He further states that hai President Hoover condescended t< make himself familiar with the vet erans in Washington he would hav< discovered for himself that they \vor< made up overwhelmingly of patriotic law-abiding American citizens. Francisco Gallo, f>0, wealthy husi ! noss man of Camaguey province oi j Cuba, committed suicide because ol heavy losses in the hurricane ther< last week.
