NAZIS SEEKING DANZIG CONTROL START CAMPAIGN TO RE MOVE LEAGUE COM MISSIONER DANZIG, July 8 , (TP).—lnformed circles say Nazis are embarked on a campaign to freeze the League of Nations’ high Danzig commissioner, Sean Lester, out of office.

Already, the Nazi controlled Danzig government has ordered the opposi tion press to cease publication. Ru mors say the next step will be tne imprisonment of opposition leadens. The thory is that Lester, in that event, would call on the Nazis to ex plain their moves in violation of Ver. sallies treaty rules. This request, re ports say, would remain unanswered. Lester then could call on the league to send in an international police force to take charge of the city or could resgln. The Nazis think the Irish high conrnlssioner would re sign.

Farm ers who are suffering from a month of drought looked up at clear skies and muttered—“no hope.” The record heat-wave has claimed 56 lives. Reports from scores of cities in the torrid area say the deaths are mounting by the hour. The worst scene of devastation is tlie nations’ “breadbasket” on the rolling wheat fields of the north- ' west. The vast fields are fast be coming a desert, with more than 50 per cent of the crop already burned out. Farmers are sending their i scrawney livestock to markets by | the railroad. There is little pastur- I age left in the stricken states. Thousands of farmers have aban doned their fields to take jobs on ! WPA projects. Federal emergency relief plans call tor more than half ' a million men to work on soil and water conservation projects within the next few weeks.

Somewhat cooler weather will prevail in west ern and southern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota tonight. Some what cooler weather is predicted to morrow in the Dakotas, central and northern Minnesota and northwest Nebras.a An Inside View A Transradio reporter pulled his dusty car up to the home of John Erickson today to ask a typical. North Dakota farmer about the rav ages of drought. Erickson lives in a five-room hou»e, the walls of which are made of log to keep out the ha’.sh winter cold, and the summer's scorching heat. The farmer mopped his brow and pointed to a 400-acre wheat field lit erally burning up under a relentless sun. The thermometer on his front porch registered 112 degrees. That 400 acres of whea.t” Erick son explained, “is a goner. It sohuld have grossed nearly $15,000. Os course, I would have to pay for seed and expenses out of that. But now. I won't get a nickel.” "If rain comes right away, I can take the SSOO I have saved and re plant some of it with more wheat, oats or sudan grass. Any of those would provide winter feed for my 18 head of cattle and my horses." Erickson said he had sold six head of cattle rather than see them starve on burning pastures. He is trying to save the other 18 as a foundation for his herd. “If it doesn't rain—and it probably won’t” he said, “my SSOO will have to go for importing seed. In that case, there will be another mortgage on my place by next spring.” SAVANNAH, GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1936 OMINOUS QUIET AS CANDIDATES PREPARE PLANS GEORGIA’S RACE FOR GOV.

WASHINGTON July 8 (TP)— The solidarity of the organized labor movement in America hangs in the balance today as 16 grim visaged la bor leaders march into the executive council chamber on the second floor of the American Federation of La bor building In Washington. These 16 men compose the power ful executive council of the federa tion. They are meeting to decide the fate of the poweriul United Mine Workers’ chief, John L. Lewis, and the 12 unions composing the com mittee for industrial organ! ation. This committee represents a million members of organized labor —one- third of the total A. F. of L. mem bership. Defiea Orders Lewis’ committee has openly de fied the federation’s order to disband. Instead, the committee has gone ahead with its plans to organize one union for each mass production in dustry. They have already moved into the steel industry. This brought forth a flat declaration of war from steel employers. The A. F. of L., on the other hand, is opposed to the single union idea. They want to organize the ma® pro duction industries along tradi tional lines of one union for each type of worker. Today’s council meet ing culminates a vigorous ten month battle over union organization be i tween Lewis and A. F. of L. President ! Green. unofficial poll of the members pf Tne A- F. of L.’s executive coun cil this morfling indicates that the United Mine Workers and the 11 other trade unions on Lewis’ commit tee will bfe temporarily suspended from the federation. May Be Suspended Although the poll shows that the council stands two to one for suspen sion, the possibility of a compromise is still strong. The council's action to day is only temporary: suspension* must be ratified by two-thirds vote of an entire federation convention. Even staunch supporters of Green admit privately that) he cannot muster this majority at the next convention to sustaih a suspension of Lewis’ group. Neither Lewis nor any of the union* associated with his committee will be represented at the council meeting. They were invited to appear and de fend themselves, but Lewis in char acteristic manner, scorned any de fense of his actions.
