OVER CHALLENGE

New York, Sept, 27.

"The Challenge to Liberty? the highly publicized book of former /President Herbert Hoover, was issued here to-day.

Amplifying Ins. Hoover's recent Jarticles in the "Saturday Evening Post," the book reiterated a sweeping [denunciation on the "New Deal" [charging that its underlying theories will prove a "will-the-wisp."

The man whom President Roosevelt Jdefeated so overwhelmingly at the polls in November, 1992, warns that Mr. Roosevelt is leading the United [States towards a dictatorship and that the traditional Mberties of the American people ate being continually curbed to the point of complete 'Mr.' Hoover urged the American people to. consider carefully the consequences of the wholesale sur-Fender of authority to the President fby the Congress and pleads that the people do not disregard the lessons Hlearned through past experience.

Literary critics apparently receive /~The Challenge to Liberty" somewhat coldly. It is "too professorial," they say, and fails to reach "the man in the' street"—United Press.
