NRA Flayed By
As Danger
Says Censorship s Next
Step If Union Demands
Are Admitted
CHICAGO.—(AP)—E. H. Har
ris of Richmond, Ind., secretary of
the American Newspaper Publish
ers association, said Tuesday that
the constitutional guarantee of a
free press in the United Sttaes is
in grave danger of destruction un
der the National Recovery ad'min
istration.
Mr. Harris, publisher of the
Richmond Palladium and Item, has
been active in the negotiations of
the association for a newspaper
code under the NRA, and he
spoke Tuesday before the Inland
Press association.
He asserted that the refusal of
the Recovery administration to
accept two sections of the proffer
ed code—one intended to safeguard
the freedom of the press and the
other prohibiting unions from or
ganizing non-union newspaper
plants where employes do not de
sire union affiliations—had placed
in, jeoprady free journalism and
free government. :
“Journalism fias been destroyed
entirely in Germany,” Harris said.
“In the United States, congress
has enacted the National Indus
trial Recovery Act which gives to
the government the 'right to lic
ense all forms of industry.
“Dhe newspapers of the United
States are now being asked to
sign an agreement with the gov
ernment under the N. I. R. s
which will abridge the right of a
free press in this country.
“Organized labor is in command
of the N. R. A. and is attempt
ing to organize every department
of a 4 mnewspaper plan, including
even the news department.
“The application of a censorship
of the press by organized labor is
possible if the newspapers submit
to the demands of unions as ex
pressed in the N. I. R. AN
Reviewing the powers giv.en thy
executive department of the gov
ernment by congress in writing
the recovery act. Harris asserted:
“Manry observers have gone SO
far as to assert that our constitu-l
tional form 'of government has
been discarded. They believe the
people the United States are sub
mitting to these changes, beoause
they are in a state of mind in
which they are unwilling to heed
the warnings of their foretathersl
and are willing to accept any plan
that will restore normal condi- {
tions. - !
“But let us remember that thel
price we pay for these temporary
expedients is loss of free govern
ment. ‘
“We are now far advanced in
this stage of retrogression.
~ “The nuegotiations which the
publisher's’ committee have been
carrying on with the government"
at Washington have proved con
clusively that there is a plan un
der way at Washington — either
ylth or without President Roose
velt’s consent—to apply ‘the heat’
to the newspaper publishers to

TAMMANY LODKING
O SMITH FOR AID
éMcKee Denounces La
| Guardia for Bringing
| Race Issue Into Fight
' NEW YORK.—(AP)—Tammany
Hall, fighting the most potent
'threat to its power in years, will
lopen its formal mayoral campaign
| Tuesday night with its strategists
| groping for an answer to the all-
important guestion:
“Will Al Smith come to the res
cue of the organization ”
Tammany had #o word as to
whether former Governor Smith
would appear Tuesday night at
the opening rally for Mayor John
P. O’Brien at “The Hall.” Some
of Smith's intimates were of the
opinion that he would not appear.
The campaigns of Tammany’s
two foes, the Fusion and the Re
covery party, continued to get up
steam Tuesday . Parading to
Queens amid streams of red fire
Monday night, Fiorello H. La-
Guardia, Fusion nominee, accused
the city government of milking
small home owners to hand tax
cuts to big property owners.
Joseph V. McKee, Recovery
party candidate, again denied La-
Guardia’s charge of anti-Semitism.
He said an article he wrote in
1915, ‘while a school teacher, did
not criticize the ethical outlook of
Jewish school children, but eriti
cized “only those who abandoned
Judaism.” He denounced LaGuar
dia for injecting the issue into the
campaign. '

were listed for subpoena before the
Senate banking committee.
Ferdinand Pecora, the commit
tee’s untiring investigator, prom
ised to compel their appearance

said, go out Tuesday-
Despite Pecora’s announcement
that the committee has mno alter
native but to issue sut')poenas after
exchange authorities” refused to
submit memberg a questionnaire,
frank skepticism prevailed in some
official quarters over the practica
bility of bringing such an army of

Such procedure was viewed as
prolonging the investigation end
lessly.
Richard Whitney informed Peco
ra’s New York office that the ex

TODAY’S BEST
HUMAN INTEREST
STORY
CLEVELAND, O.—(AP) —
They may not realize it, but
loving aunts, uncles and cous
ins, and especially grand
mothers, are a baby’'s worst
enemies.
At any rate thig is the opin
jon of Dr. Alan Brown, physi
cian-in-chief of the hospital
for sick children at Toronto,
and professor of pediatrics at
the University of Toronto.
“Loving relatives,” Dr.
Brown told the International
medical assembly Monday
night, “are a baby’'s worst en
emies. They do not realize
that respiratory infections—
head colds and pneumonia—
do not fly in at the window
but are conveyed from person
to person by direct contact
. with the breath.
“These ioving relatives core
in and hang all over the baby
One of them has a cold or
something and passes it on to
the poor defenseless infant.
“Then if the infant survives
all that, the grandmothers
and the rest of the relatives
spoil the child and leave him to
his parents, who have all the
work of trying to get rid of
their child’s bad habitis. These
loving relatives ‘don’'t care
what happens because they
don’t have the responsibility.”

BUSINESS UPTURN
CHOWN N ATHENS
Many Merchants Here
Elated Over Recent In
creases in Trade
Athens merchants are certain
that business is definitely on the
upgride, and all are enthusiastic
over prospects.
David Michael, manager of Mich
ael Brothers, says that business
has been increasing eagh week,
and althuogh his firm did not re
duce its workiing force radically
during the worst business period,
that the force has been increased
during the gast few weeks *to take
care of the increase in business.
F. E. McHugh, manager of Gal
lant-Belk, is very elated over the
recent increase in sales. He de
clares ‘that last week wag one of
the best his store has enjoyed
since it opened in Athens.
Gallant-Belk has added fourteen
regular employes and ,other part
time workers during the past six
weeks., Mr. McHugh is well pleas-!
ed with the way people have re
sponded to President Roosevelt’s!
NRA plans. s ‘
Milton Lesser, manager of Less-‘
er’s Apparel Shop while admitting
that business is better each week,
is inclined to think that most of
the increase is due to the fact
zoods are selling for higher prices,‘
and that this causes the volume
of sales to be larger.
The sudden rise in prices means
that the merchant must necessa
rily take smaller profits for awhile,
Mr. Lesser says. Most Athens mer
chants are well stocked, he says,
and have not raised prices to the
ievel which will be necessary when
new goods are bought.
R. H. Gloyd, manager of Pen
ney’s, is likewise optimistic over
the steadiy increasing business.
‘He says units as well as volume of
;sales have increased materially
‘during the past month or so, and
)that the customers are making
‘more purchases, as well as paying
higher prices for the goods.
’ Penny's has added six new reg
|ular employes since August Ist, in
laddition to calling in extra help
on Saturday. Mr. Gloyd says he

Issued After Sentencing of Two Nazis
Who Struck American For Not Saluting
BERLIN.—(AP)—The Prussian
Ministry of the Interior Tuesday
renewed its strict instructions for
German citizens to abstain from
molesting foreigners.
The orders came a short time
after two storm troopers who as
saulted Roland Velz, a native of
Meriden, Conn., when he failed to
salute the Nazi emblem were sen
tenced to six months in jail on
charge of assault and battery. The
hearing was held in a so-called
speed court.
“Foreign citizens must in every
way possible be given public pro
tection,” said the Interior Minis
try’s instruction. “Should police
intervention be necessary, special
tact, cautiousness and courtesy
must be used.”
The ministry also instructed au
thorities throughout the Reich to
make contact with the local Nazi
party and the leaders of the storm
troops and steel helmets to im
press upon them and the member
ship that it is the self-evident
duty of the true Nazi to rega{d
hospitality as sacred.

Jackson’s Charges
Bring Reply From
Industrial Laundry
The Banner-Herald received the
following communication Tuesday,
with the request that it be publish
ed:
Recently there was a news fitem
in The Athens Banner-Herald
stating that Jackson’s Laundry had
filed a petition in the district
court of the United States, in which
was alleged, among other things,
that “The Industrial Laundry and
Dry Cleaning company, Inc., and
the United States Hoffman Ma
chinery corporation had conspired
to wreck the business of the Jack
son Laundry.
We wish the public to know that
the Industrial Laundry and Dry

Velz 'was struck twice in the
face by the pair—one a chauffeur,
the other a glass blower—at Dues
seldorf, Germany.
State’'s Attorney Von Haacke of
the Prussian ministry of justice,
acted as prosecutor. He demanded
the six months penalty and the
court agreed. .
“Well, that’s getting astion,”
happily exclatmed a high Ameri
can embassy official on learning of
the verdict.
The official, who was intimately
acquainted with the case, said
“that is great progress. I consider
this the turning point in the treat
ment of assailants of foreigners.
“The court acted speedily and
gsternly, even though one of the
assailants was a storm trooper.”
However, it developed that both
assailants were storm troopers—
Paul Eckardt, by profession a glass
blower, and Fried Wilbertz, a
chauffeur.
Both testified they were greatly
excited when according to their
ideas Velz acted as though he had
contempt for the swastika, the
Nazi flag.
