Washington, Dec. 30.—OVl—Out spoken attacks on “big business” by high administration officials provided a prelude today for Presi dent Roosevelt’s annual message to Congress. The continuity of the attacks left little doubt that it was a pre arranged staging for the address in which the chief executive is ex pected, generally, to outline his program for meeting the business recession. Speaking in Philadelphia yester day, assistant • attorney general Robert H. Jackson, charged bus iness with “a general strike de signed to liquidate the new deal”. Tonight Secretary Ickes will car ry on in similiar vein. Members of congress showed con flicting reaction to the Jackson speech but they generally inter preted it as a reflection of tha current administration’s attitude which the president will expound next Monday. Great significance has been at tached by Washington observers to the tone of recent administration speeches. They followed a period of apparent indecision over the fu ture policies in view of the bus iness situation. Spokesmen for “left wing” ad ministration followers were be ginning to express the belief that the president was yielding to bus iness demands. Conservative elements in tha Democratic party had started to congratulate Mr. Roosevelt for I showing a more friendly attitude towards business. - | ■m Be Buried On Eli Hussey, well known man of this section of the state, died at his home near High Point WedneSH* day afternoon after a rather pro* longed illness from heart trouble.
