HOOVER IS PROBLEM NOT EASILY SOLVED Defeated President Will Be G. O. P. Problem for Years to Come By LESLIE EICHEL (Central Press Staff Writer) Cleveland, June 12—What shall we do with Herbert Hoover? What can one do with any former president who has been defeated in an election? That, not the problems of the na tion, cast itself on the Republican convention on its second day. It will cast itself as a problem for some years to come. Mr. Hoover is a problem politician. He lacks in personality, yet he typi fies a capitalistic-industrial epoch pe culiar to the United States. He suc ceeded the bosses of old, the feudal lords. His religion was capitalism in a higher sense. It still is. But his religion is as alien to the New Deal as is that of the surviving bosses or even the new midwest “liberals.” And the New Deal, itself, suddenly may find itself in the spot in which Mr. Hoover now stands.

(AP) —A sharp attack directed by the Cham ber of Commerce of the United States against Iboth House and Senate tax bills came today as conferees met again to compose differences in the two measures. Harper Sipley, chamber president, aimed his criticism particularly a gainst the house measure, which would provide graduate levy up to 42 1-2 percent against undistributed profits of a corporation. A chamber executive declared the Senate bill, which provides for a flat seven percent on such profits, was “to be preferred” although it also imposes penalties upon reasonable tention of earnings needed for business pur poses.” In a letter to all members of the organization, Sipley declared that the House proposal “would obstruct in dustrial growth and industrial re covery.” As the chamlber attack came, leg islative conferees struggled anew bridge the difficulties between the bills with only three days remaining before Congress goes into session.

The Hoey backers are convinced that he will defeat McDonald by at least 50,- 000 votes in the second primary, which will fall on July 4. “If McDonald had not called for a second primary and Hoey had been declared the Democratic nominee by his lead of only about 4,400 votes, Mc- Donald would continue to l':e a threa tening factor in the Democratic party in the State,” one of the delegates to. the State convention said. “But if a second primary is held, as is now cer tain, Hoey will defeat McDonald by (Continued on Page Eight.
