No Overestimating
l Convince Farmers
Seek to Explain
Banner-Herald Washington
Correspondent
WASHINGTON - — ¥ou ican't
ibly overestimate the impor
ponce of AAA’s summer-fall cam
::ugn of counter propaganda.,
It's the most significant show
in ail this 40-ring circgs. NRA
doesn’'t yet know where it's headed.
AAA does.
AAA has rolled up itst sleeves
for 4 finish fight in the open with
s enemies. It will wage a grim,
pard-hitting campaign to convince
tens of millions of farmers and
consumers that its enemieg are also
theirs—and thus recruit them in
fight. .
mf\:j‘n enemies are the “middle
men’—the processors and distrib
utors who bandle and sell ug our
food.
Perhaps it’s a mistake to speak
of & fully cohesive AAA campaign
Its the “young liberals,” strongest
put not always dominating force in
the farm administration, who lead
it And there are at least the
makings of @an internal struggle
gmilar to that in which Adminis.
. pator George N. Peek was eased
;\ out to another job.
Byt AAA does present a relative-
Iv upited front in the struggle for
mgher pricesi for farmers, fair
prices for consumers, and only a
reasonable spread of profits and
costs for the middleman. And that
simply means an attack on the
profit system as it now exists,
AAA sees it as an attack on pro:
fiteering in the necessities of life
as well as an attempt to save fars
mers from exploitation by packers,
willers, canners, milk distributors,
gain traders, cotton manufactur
ers, and other groups.
If AAA wins its battle of coun<
ter-propaganda, it will be support
ed by an irrvesistible force of far
mer and consumer pressure when
the next congress convenes. If it
loses, the farm program and the
New Deal’s unprecedented consum
er protection effort probably = are
punk. ¢
Food industriess worth billions of
dollars are opposing . it desperately.
In congress they beat the amend
ments to the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act which would have en
abled AAA to enforee its licensing
and marketing agreements despite
legal attacks,
Flercely, they seek to convince
farmers that they're being foreced
toward slavery and both farmers
and consumers that processing tax
e are ruining them. They want no
crop reduction, because they want
lu‘buy cheaply. They want to fix
brices to the consumer,
And a large segment of public
Opinion supports their viewg that
-~ their profits are none of the gOV-~
. ernment’s business.
Leading the AAA fight are Un

eral Counsel Jerome Frank, and

B E RTlTN,—(®)—Adolf Hitler
called for peace and quiet and or
dered a political truce Saturday af
ter the most turbulent week of the
Nazi regime,
The chancellor set an exampl=2
of outward calmness for the Ger

going to his retr2at in the Bava

end and posibly for a longer vaca

Sub leaders,- who helped Hitler

a week ago Saturday, also were
reported resting.
Vice Chancellor ¥ranz Von Pap

clarified, was smiling when visited
in his home Saturday.
“My plans are not yet complete,”
said the aristocratic fri=nd of Pres
ident =~ Paul Von Hindenburg.
“Everything is still unsettled.”
Von Papen Free
The political truce leaves him
vice chancelor, free to come and go
as he pleages, although his house
still is guarded, presumably to
protect him from hot-blood=d
Nazis. .
" The government still is on the
alert, the propaganda ministry in

efforts of dissatisfied elements to
overthrow the Hitler regime.
Activities of secret police will

Republican Leaders
Sound War Cry at
Birthday Gathering
JACKSON, Mich.—(#)—Sounding
the drums of the coming election
wars, two leaders of the republi
can party—Henry P. Fletcher,
chairman of the national commit
tee, and Senator Arthur H. Van
denberg, Saturday charged the
democratic administration with
taking steps toward “emasulation
of the constitution.”
Similarly, Hanford MacNider,
former United States minister to
Canada, in an address Friday,
charged the constitution was “be
ing undermined.”” Other republi
cans attending a celebration here
of the 80th _anniversary of the
birth of their party, in remarks
Saturday left no doubt that one of
the war cries of the coming cam
paign will be “back to the consti
tution.”
Chairman Fletchees and Bena
tor Vandenberg assailed the dem
ocratic administration for the es
tablishment of what they termed
a ‘“bureaucracy” and for a fiscal
policy which they said was setting
up a huge debt' that ultimately
must be paid “by taxatlon or re
pudiation.”

Athens, Ga., Sunday, July 8, 1934
SPEEDY—AND HOW!
A new high record for speed was established by City
Council Friday night when, almost in the twinkling of
an eye and, without batting an eye, it calmly and non
chalantly voted away the right of the people of Athens
to bus service which has been furnished by the Georgia
Power Company since the latter was permitted several
years ago to discontinue the street car:.
Unfortunately, though, the speedy ones were not to
enjoy their newly earned prestige for long, for with the
Georgia Power Company it was a case of “no sooner said
than done”; meaning that in less than twenty-four hours
following the councilmanic action, the city was pre
empted of busses. Yessiree there’s not ‘“nary” bus in
Athens this morning, so, if you aim, dear reader, to ride
one of ’em to church today, don’t waste your time stand
ing on the corner,
In view of which, it is perhaps a toss-up as to who is
entitled to the fur-lined bath tub—City Council or the
Georgia Power Company, although the odds seem, to
be in favor of the latter. We are not informed as to the
reason for rushing the busses away almost before the
ink was dry on the minutes of council granting the
power company the right to abandon service in Athens,
bul the fact remains that the familiar public carriers
formed an impressive ‘“‘motorcade’” at noon yesterday,
headed toward Atlanta. Whether there was urgent need
for the busses in Atlanta, or whether it was deemed ad
visable to shake the dust of Athens off their tires before
the “storm broke’”, we do not know, but it is a fact that
they are gone.
All of which, we regard as unfortunate. As far as
our actual knowledge goes, the Georgia Power Company
may have valid and unanswerable reasons for wishing
to discontinue bus service in Athens. Likewise, City
Council may have acted wisely and prudently in grant
ing the petition, but even conceding this, we contend
that, in so vital a matter, the tax-payers were entitled
to adequate advance notice that the abandonment pe
tition would be considered and acted upon in order that
those who were opposed te such action might be afford
ed an opportunity to present their views.
We are living in a fast age and speed is a valuable ad
junet in many of our relations, but in matters of such
grave import, City Council, before acting, should seek
the advice of those whom it serves—the people—and be
guided by their wishes. In a case of this kind, it would
have been much more admirable to ‘“make haste slow
ly,” as City Council is perhaps beginning to realize in
view of the widespread indignation expressed in many
quarters yesterday.

Citizens Talk Plans
To Protest as Buses
Quit, Go to Atlanta
Two developments quickly fol
lowed the abandonment of bus
service here Saturday noon, as
a result of city council’'s action
Friday night in giving the Geor
gia T'ower company permission
to cease operating the buses.
The first was announcement
that all five of the buses which
had been in operation up until
noon, had been sent to Atlanta
during the afternoon.
The second development was
the crystalizing of plang for a
citizens protest meeting to be
held during the next few days.
The Banner-Herald was inform
ed that plans were being con
sidered to lay the situation be
fore the State Public Service
commission with the possible re
quest that the old street car ser
vice be restored in Athens by
order of the commission.
The time and place for the
meeting will be announced

More Machine Guns
Rushed Into Streets
"~ Of San Francisce
i SAN FRANClSCO.—(®)—Addi
tional machine guns, manned by
policemen, were rushed suddenly
to various downtown buildings in
San Francisco Saturday to rein
force the long lines of machine
guns and bayonetted rifles in the
hands of 2,000 national guardsmen
on duty at San Francisco's water
front, the scene of riots Thursday
in which two men were killed, and
many injured, in clashes between
police and striking longshoremen.
Except to say that “threats”
had been made, no explanation
was given for the police activity.
It was not explained what the
“threats” were. The police ma
chine guns were put in position
outside the national guard sector.
PoliCe headquarters said the
bluecoat guard assignments in
cluded ten men on a 24-hour basis
at a warehouse in the industrial
district; an undisclosed number
at the San Francisco Industrial
association; four each at the es
tablishments of the two morning
newspapers, and one each at the

‘Famous Oil Millionaire
~ Is Ninety - five Years
Young Today
‘ By JOHN FERRIS
~ Associated Press Staff Writer.
LAKEWOQOD, N. J.—(&)—John
D. Rockefeller comes to his 95th
birthday anniversary Sunday in
health as good as anyone may
reasonably expect, although the
iheat of the past few weeks has
‘enfeebled him to such an extent
that even those close to him have
marked its effects.
For that reason it is expected
that the celebration of his birth
day, never an exciting affair since
the Rockefellers have always
chosen to keep it a family cele
bration, will be even more quiet
this year.
Sunday will be the first time in
15 years that the aged capitalist
has been absent from his estate
near Tarrytown, N. Y. on his
birthday. In 1919 he left it with
his brother, the late William
Rockefeller, and motored to Seal
Harbor, Maine.
A month ago, Kyk-Uit, the
Rockefeller mansion near Tarry
town, was made ready for his re
turn but this was delayed due to
the heat. :
His son, John D. Rockefeller,
jr., left his adjoining Pocantico
Hills estate Saturday to come
here for Sunday with his father.
On one point, however, those
close to the venerable capitalist
were agreed: that advanced age |
has wrought little if any change ;

Key West Pins Future Hopes

KEY WEST, Fla. — (&) — Key
West, the “city of cisterns,” pins
much of its hope for revival of

For years, citizens of this city
that gathers its water supply from

Key West as the connecting link.
