‘Peace Negotiations Halt- };
' ed by Warring Factions|
| Of Arkansas Church L
JONESBORO, Ark. —(AP)— Ant
attempt to assassinate the Rev. |
Bale Crowley, imprisoned n:lstorl
of the strife-torn Baptist taberna
cle here has, halted, temporarily at‘
least, peace negotiations bet\\'oen!
warring factions of the church. {
The attempt was made on the |
pastor Tuesday night as he lnyl
asleep in jail where he is held with- l
out bond on a charge of killing the
church janitor, W. J. Mcl\lurdo-i
A burst of pistol fire was directed
at his cell but none of the slugs |
struck the minister. |
Two men were reported to h;wcx‘
left hurriedly after the bullets were
fired from an areaway behind thv}
jail into the barred window nf}
Crowley’s cell, Officers said a|
steel partittfon which deflected the
bullets saved the minister from
possible injury. |
The attack followed a statement |
by Crowley that no deal had been |
|made by lay members of the con
‘gregation to gell the church to one
of the factions. Many expressed
the opinion that a meeting of a
joint committee, chosen to settle
upon terms of the sale, would never
be held.
Crowley was jailed last week fol-
Iluwim: the shooting of Macmurdro.
The minister went to the taberna
cle with a court order recognizing
him as its pastor and he said that
he shot in self-defense after order
ing MacMurdro to leave.
L. H. Kayre, who accompanied
Crowley to she tabernacle, was
chagred with accessory to murder.
He was released n $1,600 bail Tues
day night following a habeas cor
pus hearing.

"while on location on a high mesa

reported in serious condition at

were admitted to his room.
“was accepted by observers as
confirmation of the reports that
the former governor had refused
to vield to Tammany's pnleas that
he cmoe to the rescue. . .”
Senators Rovert . Wagner and
Royal S. Copeland were also miss
ing from the pldtform Tuesday
night, and announcements at the
hall said pressure of official busi
ness kept them away.
Those who attended heard a de
nunciation, of bossism, uttered
from Tammany’s own rostrum.
Frank J. Prial assailed the “arro
gance” of political leadership and
said his nomination as regular
democratic candidate for control
ler was a rebuke ‘to party leaders.
vPrial, a former deputy control
ler, was denied designation as the
party’s nominee for controller. He
ran anyway and beat “the ma

‘night, he endorsed Mavor O’Brien,

Of Nazis Disclosed
In Austria :
BERLIN —(AP)— Eqaulity with
all other nations is Chancellor
Adolf Hitler's unalterable precon
dition for future international co
operation, he told his followers in
| a speech Tesday night.
i' “Gremany -is determined in the
future,” said .the chancello,r “to
attend no conference, enter nol
league, agree to no convention and
sign nothing as long as she is not‘
treated equally.
“Germany desires peace and
lnothing' but peace. Honor is some
thing without which one cannot |
‘live.” :
© The: cnancellor reproached the
previous government for uselessly
participating in int®rnational con
fferences without first being conce
‘ded equality.
Support of his foreign policy was
offered by Hitler as the price of
ireconciliation with his former do
‘mestic opponents.
The address, which made public
only at noon Wednesday, also con-
Ttained the opinion of the chancel
‘lor that his predecessors had fall
en victims to the “Géneva Illness.”
| The chancellor emphasized that
‘the campaign over the Reichstag
election and the German plebiscitel
would be focued 'solely on the for
‘eign policy ' question.
He expressed the opinion that
the campaigns would reconcile the
entire nation provided ' his oppo
| nents stood for the.German honor

l NAZI IN AUSTRIA
VIENNA —=(AF)— A nation- |
‘|wide Nazi military organization
has been developed in Austria, it
was disclosed today, despite the
‘| handicap of the party’s dissolution
|in this country.
The widespread movement came
‘| to light as government investiga
tions continued into alleged Nazi
»'lplots at the . Linz Garrison and
| elsewhere to seize arms for use inl
| “further action.”
} Details of the investigations'
| were only slowly forthcoming, but
| enough has been revealed to show
a small corner of the Nazi organi
| zation.
: Outstanding in the disclosures is
| the fact that Nazi storm troops no
longer are being organized by civ
| ilians, but are in the hands of
. | Austrian army officers—either ac
| tive or recent retired.
. A second plot is that these Nazi
| storm troops are ofticered by army
men and drill regulalry.
The third fact uncovered in the
investigations, it was said, is that
the under cover military organiza
|!tion——enlisting civilians but organ
lized from within the army and al-.
» | legedly preserving contact with‘
/| Germany-—is divided into brig-|
S‘ades.

Increase of 32 Per Cent
In Growers' Profits Still
Is Not Enough
WASHINGTON—(®)— President
Rooscvelt feels that although farm
prices have increased 32 per cent
since the average for the year that
ended March, they are not yet
high enough.
An ecorpmist for the executive
council has presented figures to
the President showing that the
products the farmer sold in Sep
'tember brought 32 per cent more
than in the 12 months ending with
‘March.
~ In the same period, it was stated
in official quarters today that the
‘economist had reported, the cost of
}things the farmer buys has in
creased 11 per cent.
| Despite these figures, the ad-
Eministration was desecribed as feel
ing that the farmer’s return is still
'far too low.
i Figures also have been submit
ited to the President showing that
factory employment in September
|compared with 1929 had recovered
’two fifths of its decline, and the
income of factory workers had re
| gained a quarter of the loss,
|while the cost of llving rose 9 per
cent -from March to September.
A haif-billion dollar corn-hog
program Wednesday was added to
the government’s manifold efforts
| to boost farm prices.
l Secretary Wallace announced
the two-year plan for balancingz
{supp]y and demand through $350,-
000,000 in benefit payments to
| farmers in return for slashing corn
land hog production.
' While Governor Willlam Lange’
lof North Dakota, pressed upon
|other states his plan for a wheat
shipment embargo, the federa!
government contracted for a mil
!lion bushels for relief distribution
{ There were indications this figure
]might be swollen to 40,000,000
bushels and eggs added to the re
| lief commodities.
Organization of the commodity
credit corporation advanced to the
stage where it will be ready to
make loans to cotton growers by
this week-end. The produsers may
borrow eight to ten cents a pound

WRIGHT’S IDEA
The above loan is the outcome of

lwas originated by County Attor
ney Tate Wright, who could net be
reached for a statement early this
afternoon. i
The increase of nearly $25,000 in
the loan to this county will make =
| possible additional work which, it k
| was thought at first, would have
to be left undone for the present. g
[ Mr, Wright submitted his pro- 3
posal to the county commissioners
sume time -ago, and was auth'or-,‘

tiong for the loan, after convincing
them of its legality. .

aprroved by the Georgia adviarry
