OTHER SECTIONS ENJ<
ING RESPITE FROM
SUFFERINGS
CHICAGO, July 3 (TP).—Ths
Mississippi valley .ted hopefully
today for a break . i? terrific wave
of heat.
Other sections oi the country al
ready are enjoying lower tempera
tures, but the regon along the Mis
sissippi was told it must wait anoth
er 24 hours for relief. From the
Rockies to the Dakotas, and along
-he Atlantic seaboard temperatures
were back at normal levels after
week end rains.
A ma:s of hot air in the Great
Lakes region held the cool area back
from Illinois, eastern Wisconsin,
western Michigan and northern Indi
ana. There have been local showers
at Indianapolis and other points in
the district, but lasting relief is not
due until the cool winds arrive.
Ontario entered its fifth day of
♦stifling heat with no relief in sight.
Temperatures were threatening the
100 mark. Seventy-nine people have
died at Toronto, making a total of
155 for the entire province.
Death Toll 1,200
The national death toll in the
United States neared 1,200. Continu
ed destruction by the blazing sun in
creased damage to crop and livestock
by $100,000,000 during the past few
days. Damage estimates now stand
at $400,000,000.
Scattered shows; and cool wind.,
in the New York . ;a have brought
welcome relief to more than 7,000,000
sweltering residents.
Georgia also had showers, although
the general heat wave is unbroken in
Dixie.
At Atlanta, seven persons pleaded
guilty to their charges in order to
get out of the stifling jail. They fig
ured it would be better to risk the
chain gang—where they could sit un
der a sha tree occasionally—than
to swelter in the hoosegow.
At New Orleans, the Rev. Silas
Robinson, a 66-year-old negro, fear
ed the drought would ruin his cotton
patch which was located in th?
heart of the city. He set fire to some
weeds on the patch. The smoke
brought the fire department and a
good drenching from its hoses. Rev.
Robinson thanked the fire laddies
proHeeiy for sprinkling his cotton.
POLITICAL KETTLE
BREWS IN SPAIN
RESULTS FROM MURDER
OF LEADING OPPONENT
TO GOVERNMENT
MADRID, July 13 (TP)—One of
the strongest political opponents of
the present leftwing government in
Spain was found shot to death today.
The murdered conservative leader
w/s Jose Calvo Sotelo. With Jose Gil
Robles, he was the guiding spirit of
the Catholic opposition to the gov
ernment.
Calvo Sotelo's followers immediate
ly accused the police of murdering
him. The Catholic leader was ar
rested this morning. His friends last
saw him being led off to jail. A few
hours later his bullet-ridden body was
found in a Madrid cemetery.
Communists factions in Spain sus
pected Calvo Sotelo of joining forces
with the suppressed Fascist leagues.
In many circles the slain man was
viewed as the most likely man to lead
an uprising against the government
and restore the dictatorship of Primo
De Riviera.

BELOVED RADIO PRIEST
TO BE BURIED ON
WEDNESDAY
new YORK, July 13 (TP).—The
thousands of friends whom tne Rev.
Dr. s. Parke Cadman’s radio ser
mons made for him are bo-’--’ in
grief today.
Dr. Cadman, one of the country’s
leading Protestant clergymen, lost a
brave fight against peritonitis late
yesterday when he died at the Cham
plain Valley hospital, in Plattsburgh,
New York.
The radio mini-ter's body will be
brought back to New York city by

one week, almost to the hour, from
the time he was stricken with an at
tack of acute appendicitis while de
livering a peace address at Platts
burgh. Despite his pain, the 71 < ear
old minister Insisted on completing
the talk. Then, near collapse, he
was taken to the hospital. Physicians
virtualy abandoned hope when they
discovered that peritonitis had set
in. Despite his age, however, the
minister waged a strong b’ti’c
against the inevitable outcome,
slcians who attended hi.n were
to admit their amazement at the iii

to life, hour after hour.

D.A.R. COMMENCES
PENSION SYSTEM’
WOMEN’S ORGANIZATION
IS PROUD OF NEW
ACHIEVEMENT
WASHINGTON. July 13 (TP).—
The Daughters of the American
Revolution quietly and proudly in
augurated a new retirement pension
system today. The system was ap
proved by the D. A. R. congress in
April, 1935. Now, more than a year
later the pension plan goes into ef
fect. •
The D. A. R. wil pay pensions to
employes after they reach the age
of 65, or after they have served 15
years with the organization. Pension
rates are two-thirds of the regular
’alary for those who served 30 years:
50 per cent for those who served 25
to 40 per cent for veterans of 20
years. One-third of the regular
salary goes to those who have work
ed 15 years, in case of physical dis
ability. With quiet pride, the D. A.
R. announced that the pensions will
bring no increase in dues or assess
ments.
PREVIEWASKED OF
FRISCO BRIDGE
SAN FRANCISCO. July 13 (TP)
The voice of the lowly pedestrain
made itself heard today in a plea
for a one-day preview peek from San
Francisco's new bridge across the bay.
The plea was contained in a letter
from the chamber of commerce to
the board of supervisors. Charles
Page of the chamber pointed out that
pedestrians would never have the op
portunity to view the spectacle of
San Francisco bay, San Francisco and
Oakland unless the bridge is given a
special one-day preview opening for
the pedestrians. The day the mighty
suspension bridge opens to motor and
rail traffic in 1939, the pedestrian
will be barred forever. Page suggested
that a special preview for pedestrians
might draw people from everywhere.

DISCORD REIGNS IN
INNER SANCTUMS
OF LABOR GROUPS
LEWIS AND GREEN CON
TINUE TO TAKE ADAM
ANT STANDS
WASHINGTON, July 13 (TP)—
The American Federation of Labor's
executive council today resumed its
deliberations on the split in organized
labor. The council is meeting today
and tomorrow to give four more
unions connected with John L. Lewis’
insurgent committee f:r industrial
organization a chance to appear and
defend their defiance of Federation
orders. All of the unions have in
dicated they will not appear.
The executive council opened this
series of meetings last week. They
allotted a specific time for each of
the 12 unions connected with Lewis’
movement to appear. After this time
has expired tomorrow, the council
will get down to the real question—
should Lewis and his committee be
suspended from the family of organ
ized labor.
The split between the committee
and the A. F. of L. is the result of
a disagreement over union organiza
tion policies.
A still battle is raging in private
conferences of council members. A
majority of the council are said to
favor immediate suspension—a minor
ity wants to delay drastic action in
hopes that a compromise formula can
be found to heal the breach.
Predicts Lewis Winner
NEW YORK, July 13 (TP)—The
expert on labor problems Prof. S.
Howard Patterson of the University
of Pennsylvania, laid down strong
arguments today for the industrial or
ganization of the works of America.
Briefly, Dr. Patterson thinks craft
unions are outdated and doomed. He
told Columbia summer students that
John Lewis will beat William Green
in the coming struggle for power
w’ithih the ranks of labor; that the
committee for industrial organiza
tion will beat tb.e American Federation
of Labor and substitute great vertical
unions for the thousand-and-one lit
tle horizontal unions of today.
Said Dr. Patterson: “The craft
union is doomed. It flocrishfes in the
building trades where everything U
done by hand. It will never be suc
cessful in organizing the steel, auto
mobile radio and other new indus
tries. It is only dissipating its
strength by trying. The real fight
is between the industrial union, sup
ported by John Lewis, and the trade
or craft union, supported by William
Green. I believe that is a losing fight
for Green. When the final choice' is
made it will be between company and
industrial unions. The company union
is at its best industrial paternalism—
at its worst, hyprocrisy and fraua.
The decision to be made is between
industrial paternalism and industrial
democracy. The steel industry will
be the battleground for many other
industries where the same choice must
soon be made.” “America,” Dr. Pat
terson said, *'is in the springtime of a
new economic life and the renewed
feud between capital and labor is
proof that it is well into its recovery
period.”

the building itself.
The Fascist newspaper, “Riario D?
Valencia” also was under heavy guard
today. Police squads were ordered to

GOLAND UNDER WAY
LONDON, July 13 (TP)—A spokes
man for the British foreign office
charged in the house of commons to

ROME. July 13 (TP).—More evi
dent hinting strongly Italy and Ger
many will occupy the political check
erboard of Ev.rope as partners from
now on. is contained in an official
Italian announcement which has dip
lomatic circles buzzing too ay. Pre
mier Mussolini's government offered
two ex;lanaticna for its refusal to
join Britain. France and Belgium for
a Locarno conference.
The first reason given was that
Italy wants Germany to sit in on the
parley. It is pointed out that Ger
many was a participating power in
the Locanro pact of 1925. Now Italy
thinks that Hitler’s government
should be represented in the com
ing conference. This would automat
ically exclude Soviet Russia. Both
Mussolini and Hitler frown on invit
ing a delegate from Moscow.
The Italian announcement also
£aid that under the present set-up in
the Mediterranean. Italy would be
unable to participate in a peace
move. This refers to the agreements
made by Great Britain with small na
tions in the Balkans and Mediter
ranean territory during the early
stages of the Italo-Ethiopian crisis.
France was a party to the treaty but
has since withdrawn. Now it is re
ported that Greece, too, will follow
suit.
From London comes word that
British trea-ury officials are clear
ing the way for their renewal of com
mercial relations between Italy and
Great Britain. Trade will be resum
