WASHINGTON—If you can take
Lour eves away from the New Deal
ireworks a moment, let’s take our
hats off t 0 Dr. Charles Armstrong.
armstrong is one of those gov
mment scientists. You seldom
ear about those fellows, though
ome, make tremendous contribu

üblic welfare. As a group, they

mstrong is when he is laid low

Roosevelt Prepares For Return Home
Borah Challenged to Suggest New Platform for Republicans
SENATOR COUZENS 15
ASKING IDAHOAN FOR
CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN
Michigan Republican Says
Borah Should Be Given
Chairmanship
COMES AS SURPRISE
Challenge |ls Made After
Borah Asks Resignation
Of Fletcher
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON
WASHINGTON — (#) — Sena-
tor Borah, who demanded a reor
ganization of the Republican party,
received a challenge today from
Senator Couzens, Republican, Michi
gan, to take the chairmanship and
suggest a new platform. ‘
He said Borah, like Senator Reed
of Pennsylvania, campaigned against
aspects of the New Deal but
“neither one was successful be
cause they offered no substitutes
for the programs they criticized.”
The Michigan senator’'s entry in
to the party controversy cama
shortly after Henry P. Fletcher,
chairman of the Republican Na
tional committee, had flatly de
clined to resign at Borah's request.
To stop out at this time, Fletch
er said, “would plunge the party
organization into confusion.” He
pointed out the machinery by which,
he said, the party could obtain new
leadership if it wapted.
Causes Surprise
Couzens statement, coming from
one who has frequently voted with
the party’'s western independent
wing where demands for reorgani
zation are now arising, caused some
surprise.
“T suggest,” he said, “that those
who are supporting Mr. Borah's
proposal that Mr. Fletcher resign
offer Mr, Borah the chairmanship
of the Republican National com
mittee.
“I am just as anxious as Mr.
Roosevelt is to have the country
recover, but I do not inteng to as
sume a destructive attitude whe
ther T be a Borah Republican or a
Fletcher Republican or neither of
these things.
“Certain prominent Republican
senators have been carrying on de
vastating campaigns, or at least
they have been trying to make
them devastating against certain
agencies of the New Deal. Borah
did it in Idaho and Senator Reed

PLANS 60 FORWARD
FOR BANKHEAD \OTE
Cotton Control Act Is Ob
ject of Support and Criti

(By the Associated Press)
. The Bankhead Cotton Control
Act was the object of support and
of criticism today while plans went
forward for the vote on December
14 which will decide whether the
plan ghall be continued in 1935.
Retention of the compulsory cot
ton control act was urged by a
group of 26 farmers, farm magazine
editors and directors of farm co
operatives from six states in a con
ference with Secretary Wallace in
Washington yesterday. The group
submitted eight recommendations
which they wished to be followed
in applying the 1935 program.
Saying conditions “did not war
rant” making a change pending the
working out of a “long term policy
for cotton,” E. F. Creekmore, vice
president and general manager of
the American Cotton Cooperative
association in New Orleans asked
cott‘m producers to vote for con
tinuing the act next year. j

BY PAT McGRADY
NEW YORK —(AP)-— The city
of New York, which distributed
more than $200,000,000 in relief in
1934, expects its relief allotments to
increase thig winter.
Despite the fact that the depart
ment of public welfare records
show that ong of every seven New
Yorkers is on city relief rolls, Wil
lianm Hodson, welfare commission
er, was emphalic today in his state
ment that “no truly needy cass will
£0 unprovided for, and none has
thus far.”
To meet its relief problem, the
city has paid out on the first
every month almost $18,000,000
This month one million New Yor
kers are getting §19,000,000, The
federal emergency relief adminis
tration refunds to the city fifty
per cent, and the state’s temporary
emergency relief administration
repays the city twenty-five per
cent of -the total outlay, but the
city must provide the funds in ad
vance each month.
200,000 Families
About 200,000 New York families
receive monthly an average of S3B
each from the home relief fund to
be used for food, clothing, rent and
other necessities,. Some families,
particularly those where there are
as many as eighteen dependents,
are given SIOO monthly, whilg oth
ers get no more than $5.00.
Another 140,000 families are cared
for through emergency work re

RULING OF LABOR
- BIARD CHALLENGED
Head of Newspaper Pub
lishers Says Bcdy Has No
Jurisdiction
WASHINGTON..—~(#)—The Nat
ional Labor Relations Board has
ruled it can exercise jurisdiction
over disputes involving Newspaper
Gufld activities and the ruling
has been challenged by Howard
Davis, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers association.
Davis, in a statement last night,
said the ruling was a ‘“threat to a
free press.” The board had said
arguments presented to it led to
the ‘“‘untenable conclusion” that
the constitutions ‘“confers upon
the newspaper business complete
immunity from regulaiton to
which publishers do not con
sent.”
The ruling was given in the
Dean 8. Jennings case. Jennings
complained he was forced to re
sign as re-write man for the San
Francisco Call-Bulletin because
of his activities in behalf of the
Newspaper Guild, organization of
editorial employes.
The board, finding that the pa
per had violated the recovery act,
ruled yesterday that unless it of
fered to reinstate Jennings within
ten days, it would be cited for
Blue Euglefilacipune and legal
action. The paper, a Willilam
Randolph Hearst interest was
offered an opportunity to present
testimony concerning Jennings de
parture from his position.
The paper contended the board
could not hear newspaper cases.
It insisted the executive order

94 Percent Already Signed |
It was pointed out yesterday
that ninety-four per cent of
Clarke county’s cotton farmers
have already signed the voluntary
crop reduction .agreements with
the government, and that A if the
Bankhead act, with its compulsory
features, is rescinded by congress,
those who have not signed volun
tary agreements would probably
increase their acreage over that of
this year when they begin plant
ing next spring. Without the com
pulsory control which is the aim
of the Bankhead law cdtton pro
duction would likely be greater
next year than this year, with a
consequent d-p-ession of the price.
A reduction in the price of cot
ton next year would affect moats

Key by 27-9 Vote
ATLANTA, Ga—(#)—City coun
cil has rejected Mayor James L.
Key’'s plan for a municipally
owned liquor store. The decision
was the climax of one of the most
bitter meetings of council in re
cent years.
Mayor Key personally appealed
to council to back his proposal
for the city to enter the liquor
business for a 60-day trial but only
nine councilmen favored the plan.
Twenty-seven cast their votel
against it.
The mayor told council that he
wanted the city to take the whls-I
ky business out of the hands of
bootleggers. He asked the 60-day
tria] period in order to convince
the council gnd Atlanta residents
of the feasibility of his plan,
which was offered as an attempt
to prevent a 32 percent salary cut
for mon-school employes next
year.
