time job, the man supports wife,
father, and mother. But his de

The Canazdian who lived in the

five American children, spent
Christmas in Canada with his
mother and had mental troubles
after his return,
The boy whose raother brought
him in from Canada when he was

for him, whose father has been
deported to PRumania, and whose
family will be split to three coun

The Hungarian hunchback girl

1929, entering as a student, who
must now be deported and

he crossed the border ,without be

Mae Cormack and Secretary Per

except to deport. A bill to give
them limited discretion in such

BAINEBRIDGE Ga,. —A)—— In
Georgia it is “Roosevelt ang Tal
madge,”’ Governor Talmadge said
here today in opening his speak
ing campaign for re-election.
The opposition, he said, “is in
silly desperation” trying to makse
the people of the state believe that
he is opposed to ‘Presidem' Roose
velt.
The Governor asked for renomi
nation on the same platform on
which he was elected in 1932 and
added three planks advocating a
Lieutenant Governor, a four year
term for the governor, and prom
ised to pay up the balance of the
state’s indebtedness without an in
crease in taxes. He did not men
tion either of hls opponents by
name. |
Detends Record
He vigorously defended the rec
ord of his administration, saying
all of his 1932 campaign ledges
had been carried out except pay
ment of past due indebtedness to!
Clonfederate Veterans, which he
charged was brought about by the}
genate action in reducing the tax |
on cigars and cigarettes, which 151
allocated for the payment of pen
sions. ]‘
‘Governoy Talmadge said thajt
during his term as governor the
savings in states taxes to the peo
ple of Georgia have amounted to
$7,883,819.91; that during the last
yvear he reduced the state indebted
ness by $2,141,197.34 without rais
ing taxes; that during the past
twelve months cuts in telephone,
power and light rates have saved
the people of the state $2,021,300
and that passenger and bus fares,
truck and treight rates have been
reduced more than $4,000,000.
Declares Cooperation
e declared that his cooperation
with the Federal Government had
succeeded in bringing into the
state $16,176,168.78, and said he
“gloried in the fact that no ap
plication I have ever made to the
Federal Government has been de
nied or questioned.”
Defending his pardon record,
Governor Talmadge said that
since he has taken office he has
pardoned 223 prisoners and pa
roled@ 413, has issued commutation
orders on 414 prisoners and had
let 221 prisoners serve their sent

Secretary Wallace
Angered When He Is
Served With Papers
BALTIMORE. — (#) — Angered
when aroused from his Pullman
berth to be served with papers
naming him ag a defendant in a
test case of the agricultural ad
justment act, Secretary of Agri
culture Henry A. Wallace hurled
the papers back into the fact of
the United States deputy marshal.
Secretary Wallace had been
named among the defendants in
the suit instituted in the United
States district court by he Royal
Farms Dairy of Baltimore, ques
tioning the constitutionality of the
act. The plaintiff also asked an
injunction to restrain the AAA
from examining its books. i
The government had asked for
dismissal of the action as the sec
retary could not be brought into
Maryland to answer to the suit
and he was an essential party to
the case. Federal Judge W. Cal
vin Chestnut denied the petition
but sald the secretary of agricul
ture’s appearance at the hearing
would be necessary.
Judge Chestnut said the chal
lenge of the goverament’s right to
investigate the dairy's books raised
the most fundamental question
that had arisen in his court in
many years and he did not wish to
make any decision at this time.

PLEASURE SEEKERS
By The Associated Press
Generally favorable weather
throughout the United States
lured the american people from
their homes today to celebrate
the Declaration of Independ
ence—some. to pay with their
lives before the sun goes down.
One hundred and eighty-five
last year, many in automobile
accidents.
The East generally looked
for some relief from the torrid
spell. New York, however, ex
ipected another hot day, despite
a shower last night which
drove the temperature down 16
degrees from the 91 which had
left several heat deaths in its
wake.
Two heat deaths were re
ported yesterday near Boston
and one in western Pennsyl
vania. Another heat fatality oc
curred in Ohio while the total
in St. Louiy rose to 28 after

pronounced mid-summer lull in
business, but that in itself may be
regarded as indicating a return to
normal conditions.
After registering striking gains
over 1933 in the first and second
quarters of thiv year, business ap

year. But in view of the highly
artificial conditions prevailing most
of last year, comparisons with 1933
may be misleading.
The first few months of 1933
were marked by the banking crisis
ending in the bank holiday in
March, and the late spring and
early summer of last year saw a
feverish inflationary flare in busi

standard, and efforts of manufac
turers to beat rising costs under
the processing taxes and the NRA
codes.
Things have progressed more
smoothly this year. {:abor troubles
and the severe drought in the mid

It had been expected the Hit

decide the course of the whole

over the head of the 86-year-old

dominant Reichswehr or stand

Previous to today's develop=

stated Von Papen was slated for
either resignation or dismissal to

It had been pointed out that if
Von Papen remained, Hitler would
be hindered in a reported schems
for tightening the Nazi reins upon

STRANGE MALADY
AFFECTS FAMILY
Mysterious Disease Has
Taken Seven Male Mem
bers; Others Waiting
BELMONT, O.—(#)—Their bodieg
twisted by a mysterious malady
that already has claimed seven
male members of their familied
since 1868, two brothers wait fom
death in their home in the hille
near here. 5
A clinic of fifty specialists once
examined Glen W., 16, and John L
Dietrich, 17, but the experts were
unable to diagnose the disease
other than to say it is a form of
paralysis. 3
The malady, apparently a strange
hereditary disease which afflicts
only the masculine members of the
family, always appears when it#
victims are 5 years old. The sevelt
previous victims died when they
were 18. e
Dr. D. W. Turner, the -family
doector who has attended the two
paralyzed youths since they were
infants, said today he didn’t kxg
why they were afflicted with Wi
he called “creeping paralysis” but
said he was certain they were
doomed. %
“I know that the disease Q
these boys is creeping paralysis
and I do not know why it strikes
them at five years of age and kilis
them at 18,” Dr Turner said “I
do not know why just the male
offspring of the daughters of the
house are affected and not the
other echildren.” : Lk
Hill-folk neighbors of the Diet
rich family gave the boys a radlo
vesterday and for the first time
they heard music of dance halls
and listened to descriptiong of a
baseball game.
