Profiteers' Over Workers in Telling Them to Vote for Hoover to Save Selves BANK CRASHES LAID TO 'BIG BUSINESS' Congress will be asked to take action against the activities of bankers and corporations in Western Pennsylvania, in trying to line up their employes for President Hoover in the coming election, Democratic County Chairman David L. Lawrence announced yesterday. Lawrence made a vigorous attack on "those powerful bankers and industrial magnates," charging them with failing to save the Bank of Pittsburgh, which, Lawrence said, brought about the closing of many banks in ft If ii ft 1 1 T1 "4 I'jS1 TV III I fl rm i '-iMA AS PITT SCORES Yf At Stadium Becomes Madhouse 7 VlV) Ji hy After Sebastian, Then Y'Ss, Dailey Cross Line Panof theVowdtiiatsaw i (I -O, i Pitt defeat Notre -DameV V.

Pitt triumphed over Notre Dame by 12 to 0 yesterday in the Pitt Stadium, the tide or battle swung so suddenly toward the Panthers that it left 60,00 persons scarceely able to realize that the Blue and Gold had crushed the hopes of the Irish.

Not since the Irish came to Pitts- burgh, undefeated, in 1926 to be confounded by Carnegie Tech, has South Bend sustained as great a shock as was the lot of its green- snirtea troopers before a hoarse.

hysterical crowd of 60,000. The Panthers' best previous efforts fn the five games played since 1909 was a scoreless tie in 1911. Harassed and driven from pillar to post for three but always with sufficient to thwart the best Notre Dame had in its versatile repertoire, the Panthers finally came' on with a surge as thn game was drawing to a close and pranced across the goal line with two touchdowns in such rapid 'suc cession that their opponents never recovered from the blow. Sebastian Great Star The miracle was performed by Michael John Sebastian of Sharon, a substitute halfback when the season opened but now Captain Reid-er's successor at left halfback, who broke away at Notre Dame's right end when the final period was five minutes gone, and shredded his way down the side line for 45 yards and the first touchdown. Scarcely a minute later, with the" Ramblers taking desperate chances to overcome the 6 to 0 lead Pitt had after Isadore Weinstock had missed the try-for-point, Ted Dailey, the Panthers' left end, hurled himself high into the air to bring down lorward pass thrown by McGuff of Notre Dame and patter through tne I antic crazy-quilt of the Irish defense for 30 yards and the second Welnstock's Kick Blocked Weinstock's second attempt to place kick the seventh point was smothered, but by that time Pitt was flushed with success and for the remainder of the period liter ally tore the visiting team to pieces.

It was a game in which the tide swung slowly but surely from the Notre Dame standard to Pitt's, with, the terrific charging of the Panther line the factor which ultimately wore down the Anderson infantry to the point where their relentless hosts could drive home the telling blow. Few Pitt rush lines have hammered as hard or as long as did the one Dr. Jock Sutherland fields yesterday. Nor has the gridiron often seen a defensive plan which was aa shrewdly conceived and carried out as the one on which Notre Dame battered itself into exhaustion.

tie made his allegations In a speech at the noon meeting in the Democratic headquarters, Magee Building. "The promise of the full dinner pail has become the threat of the empty pay envelope," Lawrence said. "Taking its cue from Henry Ford," he declared, "the olaline, stand-pat Republican industrial oligarchy of Western Pennsylvania opened up an eleventh hour campaign of intimidation at a luncheon in the William Perm Hotel Friday, paid for by those industries that bask in the favor of America's railroad magnates." "Friday, indeed, was a red-letter day the history of this state. Not only was it an admission on the part of those long pampered industrialists that Republicanism was in the red, but it indicated and -definitely marked the approaching end of a longcra of political control that has been maintained because of the false doctrine that prosperity and the G. O.

P. are Siamese twins." Taking up the subject of closed banks, Lawrence said: "The concern manifested by these Republican industrial overlords for the welfare of their employes and their families brings a smile of cynicism to those men and women who saw their live savings swept away through bank failures, that might (Continued on Page 7) U.S. JUDGE SEES DRY LAW DOOM People Can Unmake Laws, Thompson Tells Amen Corner Dinner A Federal Court judge last night prophesied the immediate end of prohibition. A crowd of 1,000 men, including many city, county and state political leaders, gathered at the annual Amen Corner dinner, heard the message from Judge W. H.

S. Thompson, newly-elected president of the club. Unable to attend, Judge Thompson's letter to Fred E. Obley, Amen Corner secretary, was read to the banqueters. In it, he rote: "In the midst of the conflict of ideas- to which you will listen tonight, there will be a note of harmony and agreement, and that is that the Eighteenth Amendment is about to disappear from the Federal Constitution, making America free again.

President Hoover may poll a larger vote than appeared likely two weeks ago and he may pick up an additional state or two, but in the absence of sensational last minute developments, decisive defeat of the administration impends. With the White House, the Democrats appear certain to win complete control of the Senate and to increase their majority in the House and likewise elect additional Governors and municipal officials.

Sebastian Gets Away Up until the fourth quarter, the game had been a dogged, savage struggle, with little of the spectacular in its make-up.

A moment before Sebastian's run, the Pitt fans were murmuring, "All we've got to do now is hold them." Even then, the most they could hope for was a scoreless tie. Then Sebastian flashed toward the Pitt left end. At first, it looked as if the play was to be an end run without gain. Almost to the txjundary line, he went, and then reversed and, weaving and shaking off tacklers, he broke through the Green barrier, reversed his field and headed for the goal Une.
