congratulations to Commander
Hugo Eckener who brought the
Graf Zeppelin to a landing at
Friedrichshafen early Thursday,
completing the return, trip from

~ Reopens Today as
Pickets Leave
AUGUSTA, Ga. —(#)— Under an
agreement of union leaders to
‘withdray - i-kets, the John P.
King Mfg. Co. mill reopened here
!Thursday, the second textile plant
‘to resume operations after labor
Itroubles paralyzed the cotton mill
industry. :
Resumption of operations at the
King mill, and at the Riverside
imill Wednesday, will mean re-em
lploymem for 2,000, and the Augus
ta Herald said conferences con

plants employing an additional 2,-

| The labor situation was reported
quiet in the Horse Creek valley
lin nearby South Carolina, where
the mills are running.
Robert W. Bruere, chairman of
the cotton textile industrial rela

Ben Geer, another member of the
cotton textile board, said “satis

in conferences with operators and

A miners’ committee of eight

county,” where workers are r{efus
ing to return to the pits without
union recognition.
“Men are very much confused
about the settlement,” says a wire

LABOR WILL FIGHT
oWOPE'S PLAN FOF
PERMANENT SETUP
Business Seeks Method
Of Forestalling A.F.L.
Objection to ldea
JOHNSON LIKES IT
Organized Labor Would
Be Practically Barred
From Control
WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Busi
ness sought Thursday to forestall
objections which labor might have
to a new plan for following tem
~Nrary NRA with a permanent
set-up under which industry
would govern its own affairs
through a single unit and with a
minimum of federal supervision.
The idea behind the plan had
the support of Hugh Johnson, re
covery administrator, who told
newspapermen:
“It's a kind of goal to shoot at
if we can reach it.”
But the proposal, advanced by
Gerard Swope in a meeting with
some of the nation’s leading in
dustrialists and then referred to a
committee for study, made no ref
erence to labor representation in
the unit which would govern all
business and industry through
codes.
Profited By NRA
Labor, under the NRA, has ob
tained representation on many
boards and councils, and even an
indirect voice in the boards ad
ministering present codes. The re
cest American Federation of La
bor convention voted to seek
greater representation.
William Green, president of the
Federation, was reported out of
the city as Swope explaired the
plan, but some of his friends said
he was very likely to insist upen
‘worker participation in the pro
posed new set-up.
Swope's proposal, brieflv, would
merge into an enl”.ged national
chamber of cor.aerce all the trade
associati- s for industries now op
~~ ,ang under codes. 4 board of
appeals would act 2s supreme ar
‘hiter. The government woud, be
represested on this. board through
‘preg_jde_’ntial appointees; labor not
'a,t all, unless one of the presiden
tial appointees, whom Johnson
said would have absolute veto
power, were a worker representa
tive.
For;eseeing that there might be
labor objections, Swope said in a
statement:
“There is nothing in my pro
posal intended to supplant NRA or
to set up any industrial self-dis
cipline without governmental par
ticipation or to omit the organiza
tios of labor parallel with the ore
ganization of industry.” .
BRANNON WRITES
ON OPENING BID
Continues His Discussion
On When to Open and
When to Pass
Editor's Note: This is the
eighth of a series of twenty
special articles written for The
Banner-Herald by Robert M.
Brannon, a distinguished
writer and lecturer on the com
mon sense of contract bridge.
BY ROBERT M. BRANNON
My pet aborination as you have
no doubt discovered by this timel
is the “wooden’” bridge player who
nlays entirely according to' the
book,.and fails to take into account
the fact that bidding conventions
are based necessarily on normal
distribution, and that it is impos
sible for any writer to anticipate
and cover the multitude of excep
tions wheih relate to 2Liiormal
deals. All of which is just prelim
inary to stating that in my treat
ment of the opening bids of one in
these articles, I shall make many
departures from the straight and
narrow paths as apply to many
rules of common acceptance, and
will endeavor to show in a general
way when to fbllow the book and
when to forget it. .
As the determination of the
opening bid, and the decision
whether to open or pass, de
pends at times on the state of
the score, the position of the
bidder, the type of the partner,
the type of opponents, the
choice between suit and No
Trump, and the choice between
two suits, as well as on the
offensive or defensive hand
pattern and high card alloca
tion, as covered in my last arti
cle, it will conserve your time
and mine, if we discuss these
several elements and the vary
ing conditions, before | furnish
the series .of example with
which | hope to i:lustrate the
common sense that applies to
your decision whether to pass
or to open; and also to your
choice of denomination.
The State of the Score.
Obviously the state of the score,
with a hand of minimum or near
minimum content is an important
consideration. If you are vulnera
ble and the opponentg are not vul
nerable they will make the going

Aviator Charged With
L Looting Arsenal Here
i Cets 10 Years - ‘
i DUBLIN, Ga~—(AP)—On a plea
of guilty, Frank W. Elmore, a
]fm'mer aviator, was sentenced-to%
serve a term of ten years in prison
‘ff!‘ the robbery of the Farmers andi
|‘Merch;mt§ bank at Brewton on
| August 20, here Thursday morn-;
|ing. |
The jury trying Lewis G. Clark,
cashier of the bank, who was
charged with being an accessory,
|returned a verdict of guilty and
recommended the court punish
Ctlark for a misdemeanor. He was
sentenced to serve a term of one
year or pay a fine of SIOO. ‘
According to the evidence, Clark
[and Elmore had been acguainted
for many years. Clark was alone
in the bank when Elmore entered
with a machine gun and gathered
a loot of $7,000.
Clark declared at the time he
‘did not know the robber and gave
I'the sheriff a description of the
Irobber.. Elmore was caught the
| same day of the robbery.
Later he involved Clark in the
alleged conspiracy.
FACES CHARGE HERE
Frank W. Elmore is charged
with having led the looting of the
University of Georgia arsenal last
summer when machine guns and
rifles were stolen for sale to Cuban
revolutionists. He is yet to stand
trial in Federal courts on this
charge, since .the Federal govern

GOVERNORS ASK AID
“Hé)liday" on S;e of Farm
Products Continues in
Mid-West States
By ROY F. HENDRICKSON
Associated Press Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON.— (AP) — The
pre-war purchasing power for the
American farmer—the goal of the
Farm Adjustment act—Thursday
was further away from mathemat
ieal realization than on May 15,
three days after the act became
law.
| A dozen major programs had
'been launched by the Farm Ad
justment = administration. Many,
true, were still far from| the
stage where their creators look
for fruit; but the buying power of
)'the average unit of produce plant
ed, cuitivated and harvested by
the farmer had lost rather than
gained in potency.
Statistics compiled by the bu
reau of agricultural economics,
made public Thursday, showed
that the farmer’s purchasing pow
er on May 15 was 61 percent of
the pre-war prriod, 1909 to 1914,
but that for the week, October 11
tc October 18, the last surveyed,
hi» purchasing power was 59 per
cent of pre-war.
It wasn’t that farm prices had
declined. They moved up fast,
bulged, receded, but still were
above the May 15 level from Oecto
ber 11 to 18. The slump in the
farmer's buying power was more
largely accounted for by the in
crease in the average prices paid
for dozens of articles which he
needed for his family and to carry
on his business.
In the national capital Thursday
five middle-western governors, re
porting their farmers “in a strik
ing mood, discontented and impa
tient,” made ready to put their in
flation, price-fixing, licemsing plan
before Presigent Roosevelt. :
Goverrors Herring of Towa, Ber
ry of South Dakota, Langler of
North Dakota, Olson of Minnesota,
and Schmedeman of Wisconsin,
were designated to see the Presi
dent. : ;
Seek Price-Fixing
¥resh from a governor's con
ference at Des Moines, they sought
immediate - price-fixing for the
principal commodities produced in
their states, an ‘“NRA- code for
farmers” under which farmers,
processors and distributors would
be #icensed, and direct inflation.

WASHINGTON, —(P)— A legal

Officials have have indicated the

Government cotton on which they

Murder Mystery, As Baffling
As Fiction, Puzzles Ofticers
ZThree Bodies Found in
Farmhouse With All
Doors Locked
LAWTON, Okla— (AP) —Three
bodies, locked in a red frame
house, gave investigators here
Thursgday a murder mystery as
baffling as a fietion thriller.
Breaking into the Robert ¥, Hay
ter Ziome, officers Wednesday night
found the bodies of Mrs. Hayter,
50, and her children, Nell, 14, and
‘Sidney, 17, on the floors of two
second story rooms. Lights blazed
and gas jets were open.
Mrs. Hayter and sidney had
been shot through the head; Nell
had been clubbed, apparently with
a baseball bat. Apparently they
had been dead since last ¥riday
night, since the mother was clad
in the dress she Had worn to a
lodge meeting then. -«
Hayter, a traveling salesman
who had been out of town for sev
eral weeks, was in Oklahoma City.
He left immediately for Lawton.
All the doors were locked and
blocked with chairs. Just one
window was unlatched—that lead
ing to a porch roof from the up
stairs bedroom where young Sid
ney was found,
A pistol, with one discharged
cartridge, lay near the youth. The
bloody bat was found near sthe
unlocked window.
A mattress and bits of paper
had been partly hLurned, drawers
upstairs were wary, their contents
spilled.
The disorder was confined to the
second flooe, behind the locked
door at the head of the stairs.
Downstairs, a table was laVd neat
-I¥.:
The return of Virgiria Hayter,
21, a daughter who teaches school
at Walters, led to discovery of the
bodies. Puzzled by the locked
doors, she notified’ police.
