WEATHER Continued Warm and Fair MARKETS Stocks Higher; Cotton Firm, Wheat Up VOLUME 2—NUMBER 158 OPEN DISSENSION BURSTS FORTH IN ORGANIZED LABOR RIVAL GROUPS TAKE MIL ITANT STAND ON VIEWS WASHINGTON, July 2 (TP).— John L. Lewis's insurgent labor chiefs will gather around a conference table today to plot their defense of an American Federation of Labor discip linary threat. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, is joined by ten other A. F. of L. union heads in the commit tee for industrial organization. Presi dent William Green of the A. F. of L. is fighting the Lewis group in a drive to continue his craft union poli cies against Lewis’s industrial unioni zation campaign. The latest move in the intra-federation fracas is an order from the A. F. of L. executive board, calling on the Lewis-allied unions to appear next Tuesday to show cause why their charters should not be suspended. Many observers who have kept close tabs on the progress of the Green-Lewis battle say the industrial organization committee probably will defy the A. F. of L. executive board at their meeting today. If the Le*is group refuses to defend their st...nd at next week’s federation hearing, the ten union charters may be sus pended. pending an expulsion vote by the next A. F. of L. convention. The union banded under the Lewis banner represent ten of the federa tion’s strongest and wealthiest affi liates. Some labor experts think the suspension of their A. F. of L. char ters would lead to the immediate es tablishment of a rival labor organi zation and split the federation ranks ' wide open. GUARDSdPfCKET BIG STEEL PLANT BUILDINGS RAKED BY GUNFIRE OF SNIPERS DURING NIGHT BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 2 (TP). An armed guard of deputized offi cers is stationed around the building of a Birmingham steel pla»t today. The buildings were raked by the gun fire of snipers during the night. The factory belongs to the Tennes see Coal, Iron and Railway Company, a subsidiary of United States Steel. It became the center of a violent dis pute more than a month ago when red ore workers went out on a strike. Periodically the labor tension has blazed up in violence. A band of snipers surrounded the plant build ings last night. They sent more than a hundred bullets ripping into wood work and through window panes. Men on duty inside the walls took to cover until the gunfire was stopped. The strikers are protesting a com pany order that wages be based on production. They want a flat weekly rate of pay. MAYOR~APPROVES PARK SPOONING HAMMOND, Ind., July 2 (TP) Mayor Frank Martin of Hammond is one man who is heartily in favor of a young fellow taking his girl to the park to hold hands. The mayor put himself on record today. Some members of the Hammond Park board wanted to install electric light in the city park, to prevent youns couples from spooning in the park shadows of the tres. Mayor Mar tin was outraged at such a thing. ‘ What’s the harm in r. little spoon ing?" the mayor asked. "What do you think the moon was made for any way? Electric lights! indeed!” REAL FRIENDS! “COPS” CHIP IN AND BUY LICENSE FOR BOY’S DOG CHARLESTOWN, Mass., July 2 (TP).—Little eight-year-old Johnnie Coburn is Charlestown’s happiest boy today—thanks to a lot of hard boiled coppers. Someone told police that Johnnie’s scotch collie "Laddie” was roaming around without a license. A police man came to the boy and said, in no uncertain manner, that the .dog must have a license if Johnnie want ed to keep hm. The boy was all but broken down at that one. He had no money to buy the license. He ran to the po lice station, sobbing as if doom was full upon him. Johnnie burst into police head quarters. "It's about my dog. Laddie,” he cried out at the copers. Then he threw himself on the floor, after the manner of a sinner before the heat of judgment. The boy made a tear ful plea to keep his collie. The "hard boiled” police melted like butter. They chipped in the money to buy "Laddie” a license. That dried Johnnie’s tears. He picked himself up and muttered "thank yous” as he backed toward the door. One copper reached a lit tle deeper into his pocket as Johnnie left. He tossed the boy another quarter—“ Here boy,” said the officer, "take that and buy your dog a new ©ollar.’’ Cf 2 ~~~ PHONE 6183 Gloria’s Playmate z y « I k ■ H jjMßp -1 L J Thelma Lady Furness, twin sister of Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt is shown with her son, Tony, arriving in New York from England.

(Central Press) LABOR CHIEFTAIN WARNS AGAINST TERROR SYSTEM LEWIS ASSERTS UNDER COVER WORK BEING USED NEW YORK, July 2 (TP)—The mine chief, John L. Lewis, set down his arguments for industrial unions today in an article written for the magazine, “The Fight.” The publica tion is issued monthly by the Ameri can league against war and fascism. Lewis declared that there are forces at work in the United States, trying to stifle free • speech and free news. The same forces, he said, are attempt ing to build up a spy and terror sys tem against workers and their unions. "The hope of labor,” Lewis writes, "lies largely in its right to an op?n forum, a forum where it can present its problems and their proposed solu bions, from every viewpoint.” He believes labor can best find its voice and make it heard if large mass unions are organized in the various industries. He criticized the present Amrelcan federation of labor craft union set up as not large enough to bring workers together in one great force. Lewis said: "Only about 10 per cent of the workers are organized. Ninety per cent are unorganized and subject to con tinuous exploitation by every hostile interest that seeks to exploit them.’ FRENCH TO AID MARINE DEFENSES SENATE DETERMINED NOT TO BE CAUGHT NAPPING PARIS, July 2 (TP).—French army leaders went ahead today with a program designed to strengthen the forces defending the Marne . A French senate vote decided in fa vor of a commission to study defense needs on the Swiss border. The sen ate action gave rise to the report that the famous "Maginot line,” com prised of steel and concrete forts spread along the German border, will be extended to guard against in vasion from the southeast. At the same tme, the French min ister for national defense, Edouard Deladler, anonunced that the two year conscription term, which went into effect last year, will be continu ed until the European situation calms down. New officers’ training schools for enlisted men will be set up, De ladler anounced, in a drive to raise the general standard of the army ranks.

His address displayed an optimistic trend tnroughout. Morgenthau admitted that the na tion's $4,800,000,000 deficit is the largest industry. However, he said, tax revenues are rising, the national income is rising and federal expendi tures . are going down steadily. The secretary listed the $1,700 000,- 000 veterans’ bonus outlay as an ex traordinary expense, along with a $400,000,000 debt retirement item, thus bringing the actual deficit piled up by the Roosevelt administration to only $2,700,000,000. The national debt he placed at $33,750,000,000, from which he deducted a $2,700,000,- 000 treasury balance; two billon in gold devaluation profits and four bil lion in loans to states, cities, rail roads, banks, farmers and home-own ers. Interest on federal borrowing, he said, had been reduced by 25 per cent during the new deal admin stration. Morgenthau pointed to decreasing federal expenditures in a w«y that was taken by many to constitute a pledge that expenditures would con tinue to drop if the new deal is re turned to office in November. Beyond that, the secretary of the treasurj’ failed to predict he financial course to be taken by the administration in the case of re-election. BOY IS PLACED IN FATHER’S CARE CHICAGO POLICE STILL PROBING MURDER OF JIMMY’S MOTHER CHICAGO, July 2 (TP).—Seven year-Qjd Jimmy Thompson who amaz ed police by his calm story of how he witnessed the, murder of his moth er, was placed in the care of his fa ther today.

The boys father was divorced from Mrs. Castle. Jimmy was given back into the fathers care when police des paired of getting the boy to tell a story of the slaying which would check with the evidence in the case. Detective Chief John Sullivan said today: “My hunch is that Jimmy is guessing.

Rescue v.orkers are battling swift currents to search .or victim.s Many of those res cued were children who were found clinging to tres and rooftops. Gonzales and Austin are almost completely surrounded by water. The damag? to the south Texas cotton corp is estimated at more than $1,500,- 000.

Peter Voiss made his living by ab lowing tourists to snap pictures of him and his donkey and his prospec tor’s cart. Peter always collected a fee before ’ striking a pose. Several months ago Dr. Jasper Gattuccio snapped a picture without paying a cent. The old prospector was dis pleased. He killed Dr. Gattuccio with a shotgun. In the courtroom, the prosecutor handed the jury the picture that Dr. Gattuccio had snapped. It showed old Peter Voiss with his shotgun raised and ready to fire. “I think that this picture is final proof that murder was committed,’’ the prosecutor said. The defense argued that the aged man had no intention of killing the tourist, that the gun was discharged by accident. Peter Voiss may know t his fate be fore tonight.

HOLIDAY WARNING CHICAGO, July 2 (TP) —The national safety council predicted today that nearly 600 people throughout the country are mark ed for death on July 4 and the Sunday following. The council’s statistics expert. R. L. Forney, told Trar.sradio that death would have its greatest "field day” of 1936 during the week-end when 20,000,000 automo biles jam the nation’s highways. Said Forney: “It is reasonable to assume more people will be killed during the two-da y celebration than during any other 48-hour pe riod of the year.” He estimates will drown at nation's beach?:, and in lakes and rivers. Another 300 will be killed in traffic acci dents. At least 30 death: and 8,000 injuries are expected to be caused by fireworks accidents. GENE PLANNING TO RUN AGAINST DICK FOR SENATE REPORTED ACTIONS OF GOVERNOR HAS EXPERTS IN MUDDLE ATLANTA. July 2 (TP)—A source close to Governor Talmadge reliably Informed Transradio today that the antl-New Deal governor of Georg a is planning to run for the United States senate in the coming primary elec tions. Such an election would put Tai madgfc against Russell, who is seek ing re-election. Russell is an ardent New Deal supporter and a friend of President Roosevelt. This would again bring the Talmadge-Roosevelb battle in the state of Georgia out into the open. If Talmadge runs for the senate this will add another tangle to the already complicated Georgia Demo cratic situation. Hug How; 11—a close friend of Talmac’gu for the past three years—has announced that he will also run for governor. If Talmadge backs Redwine, a split between Howell and the»N;w Deal foe is inevitable. As Talmadge and anti-Talmadge forces gathered their workers today for the campaign which opens Satur day and will continue until Septem ber 9 when voters go to the polls a definite split loomed in both camps. With the passing of each hour be fore the opening guns, it appeared more certain Talmadge will oppose United States Senator Russell, throw ing his support for governor to Charles D. Redwine, president of the senate. Meanwhile it became known that Hugh Howell, heretofore staunch supporter of the governor, will bolt the Talmadge party and run for gov ernor on his own. It was al o learned that the three anti-Talmadge candidates will stay in the governor’s race, making a run over almost sure. They are Ed Rivers, speaker of the house of rep resentatives; Judge Blanton Fortson, of Athens, nominee of the Weltner movement convention, and Judge W. W. Larsen of Dublin. Hugh Howell, it was learned today, has engaged an Atlanta radio sta tion for one hour each Saturday aft ernoon from July 1 until September 5. It was also understood he had maped his campaign and would an- While Howell today still maintain ed he would not oppose Talmadge, Senator Redwine maintained the si lence he has stuck to ever since his name was mentioned as a possible candidate. Redwine has been a staunch sup porter of the Talmadge regime, and several times the governor has prais ed the work of the senate during tho last term. It was undstood he has bene given generous time on the gov ernor's program at Mcßae Saturday. PROBE CONTINUES IN TENNESSEE GOVERNOR TAKES HAND IN ALLEGED FLOGGINGS • AT REFORMATORY NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 2 (TP).

Hamilton, left an aroused Ohio Republican party behind him today when he arrived in Chicago to open the G. O. P. fight in Illinois. •Hamilton, chairman of the Repub lican national committee, used two fisted terms as he addressed the stabe G. O. P. convention at Colubmus, Ohio. The dynamic committee chairman termed the Philadelphia Democratic convention a display of “Mumbo- Jumbo" and maintained the Demo cratic platform was evasive. "The Roosevelt platform," he told the Ohio Republicans, “shows no con fidence in the citizens’ ability to solve their own problems. It demands that the citizens look to Mr. Roosevelt himself for solution of those prob lems.” Hamilton drew rounds of applause when he said the candidates selected at Cleveland were noted for th:ir integrity, ability and their desire to serve, rather than for a record of broken contracts, quick-change poli ces and an eagerness to rule. He in sisted that the Democratic chiefs are frightened at finding the Republican party solidly reunited at the Cleve land convention. This fear, Hamilton said, was responsible for what he termed "a flood of intemperate lan guage” in which Democratic state ments were couched. The Republican chairman paid elaborate tribute to the G. O. P. standard bearer, Governor Landon, labelling him a man who believes in keeping his word, and a man who tempers his own self-confidence with a belief in the ability of other men. He ended with th? phrase: "He is not the kind of a man that Jim Farley understands.” Before his address, Hamilton con ferred lengthly with the new Ohio Republican national committeeman, F. F. Taggart; the G. O. P. guber natorial candidate, Attorney General John W. BYicker, and other state Re publican leaders. Tentative plans for the Ohio campaign were drawn up at the conference.

A collective fine of about SIO,OOO was imposed on the town of Hebron where snipers wounded two members of the Cameron highlanders. Captain Sorel and Lance Corporal Fraser were ambushed and wounded in the streets. British officials announced that one of the leader of the Arab fight against Jewish colonization died to day of injuries suffered wh?n a bomb of his own making blew up. The lead er was Farid Floury, president of the Modem students committee. Floury has been active for months in the Arabian anti-Jewish fights. FARLEYCONFERS WITH ROOSEVELT RETIREMENT OF GENIAL JIM IS PROBABLE TOPIC WASHINGTON, July 2 (TP).— President Roosevelt and the Demo cratic chieftain, James Farley, are holding a double-edged conference to day—to discurs last night’s speech of the young Republican leader, John Hamilton, and Farley’s possible re tirement as a member of the presi dent’s cabinet. Hamilton is the G. O. P. national chairman and thespear-head of Gov. Landon s campaign. In a speech in Columbus, Ohio, Hamilton described the Democratic platform as a patch work of generalities, designed to give President Roosevelt greater powers. The president is to make speeches in Virginia tomorrow and Saturday. He and Democratc Chairman Farley are expected to lay out their reply to Hamilton today. Both Farley and Mr. Roosevelt have declined to give any confirma tion to repeated rumors that “Big" Jim will resign as postmaster gen eral. Farley has shown clearly, how ever, that he wil head the Democrats in their campaign. It is believed this will necessitate withdrawej from post office work—either by resignation or through a leave of absence until the election is held.

TRANSRADIO PRESS EXPERTS PONDER AIDS FOR RELIEF DROUGHT AREA MAIN QUESTION IS: HOW MUCH MONEY CAN BE SPENT? CHICAGO( July 2 (TP)—The gov ernment buckled down today for • bitter war against the ravages of the drought. Agricultural experts are frankly fearful of the effects which two more weeks of dry weather might have on the nation’s food crops. President Roosevelt and his advisors are scan ning reports which speak of the ruin facing thousands of farmers unlens Uncle Sam steps in to help them at once. First steps in the government’s bat tle against the drought was the Agri cultural Adjustment Administration’s decision to lift soli conservation re strictions. Farmers pledged to cut their acreage to conform with soil conservation programs will be permit ted to raise mere crops and, at the same time, will not forfeit their gov enment benefits Budget officials have orders to hunt through the nation’s books to find just how much money can be thrown into the drought area. The Triple "A” and the WPA have been caleld upon to lend all the help they can in relieving the drought suffer ing. . , Farm heads in the federal govern ment termed the present dry spell more far-reaching and disastrous than the 1930 and 1934 droughts. They suppled the president with fig ures which showed that livestock and crop loses are mounting dally, with no relief in sight. Unless there is rain within two weeks, agricultural officials admitted, the greater part of the country’s corn crop will be lost. Wheat crops also are hit hard. Needy farmers, who have watched their fields burn up under a merci less sun will soon be put to work on WPA projects, according to tentative plans drawn up at a White House conference. WPA funds already are being rushed into the states hardest hit by the dry spell, and more will follow as relief observers send their appeals to Washington. The 1936 draught, AAA heads pointed out, is especially damaging because it started so early in ths yepr. The 1930 and ’34 droughts, they pointed out, did not reach ths intensity of the present dry spelt “un til August. The earlier dry weather has destroyed young crops which might better resist a drought later in the year. LEAGUE RESUMES DISCUSSIONS ON TRADE SANCTIONS SELASSIE’S CAUSE LOST AS DELEGATES DROP SUBJECT GENEVA, July 2 (TP).—With Em peror Haile Selasse’s cause hopelessly lost, League of Nations diplomats turned towards the subject of revi sion of the league covenant today. Selassie’s plea for a continuation of anti-Italian sanctions and further steps to return his government to power in Ethiopia were crushed by British. French and Russian state ments to the effect that continuation of the sanctions was futile. Only the Union of South Africa raised Its voice in a plea for extended sanctions. The question at Geneva now ap pears to be whether the sanctions ar ticle of the league covenant, Article 16, shall be modified or strengthened. Great Brtain apparently wants the article revised to require only certain nations to enforce sanctions in cer tain crises. Russia, on the other hand, wants the article strengthened to require all league nations to apply rigid sanctions against an aggressor nation. France favors revision of the sanctions article, but is less definite regarding her stand. British Foreign Minister Eden ex pressed sympathy for Ethiopia’s plight, but maintained that only mili tary moves could change the East African picture now. This step, he said, was impossible at this time. France and the Soviet agreed with Eden, and, by so doing, effectively killed Selassie’s hopes. Rusian Foreign Commissar Litvln of was acid in his criticism of the manner in ifiich anti-Italian sane tiontions had been attempted. The sanctions drive, he said, had failed because they had not been fully ap plied by all league nations and ignor ed byat least four nations. FISHERMEN PAY TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF CAPTAIN GLOUCESTER, Mass., July 2 (TP) Cape Cod fishermen lowered their flags to half-mast today. The famous racing skipper, Clayton. Morrissey, is dead. The 63-year-old captain died of a heart attack. He was a veteran of the fishing banks and was known the world over for his skill in a fish ing boat race. An international fish erman’s race without Captain Morris sey was like a catboat without a sail. He was skipper of the "Henry Ford” in 1922 when that gallant vessel tried to wrest the international fisherman’s cup from the speedy “Blue Nose” at the Nova Scotian fishing fleet.
