The Alamance gleaner VOL. LXI. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY JUNE 20, 1935. NO. 20. News Keview of Current Events the World Over Senate Extends Skeletonized NRA Despite Long's Extra ordinary Filibuster?Grass Roots Meet Offers a Creed for the Republicans. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western Newspaper Union. SENATOR H0EY LONG, the LodIsI ana Kingflsh, made a tremendoui effort to keep the senate from adopt lng the resolution extending the skele t o n i z e d NRA unti next April, but tailed Advocating an amend ment offered by Sen ator Gore, whict would have required senate confirmation ol all executive officials drawing more that $4,000 a year, thus disrupting the patron age machine, H u e j started on a nnousier. Senator Long For near]y ](j hours, with occasional help from Senators Schall and McCarren, he kept the up per house in session, pouring forth a continuous stream of discourse that ranged from the necessity of preserv ing the Constitution down to recipes for fried oysters and pot-llkker. He attacked the President and the admin istration generally, called the NRA "the national racketeers' association," told stories about his uncle, read from (the Bible and Victor Hugo, stalked about the chamber waving his arms and croaking as his voice weakened, and now and then took a bite of cheese and a sup of cold coffee. All in all, Huey put on a show that kept not only the senators but a big crowd of visi tors up all night. He was continually heckled by his angry fellow solons but always had a smashing retort At last the senate broke down the filibuster, rejected the Gore amend ment and passed the extension resolu tion by a vote of 41 to 13. One change, to tighten up the antitrust laws, suggested by Borah, was made, so the resolution was sent back to the house for concurrence. In Its final form it continues the recovery adminis tration without codes but with author ity for voluntary agreements among business men dealing only with col lective bargaining, minimum wages, maximum hours, rbolltion of child la bor and prohibition of trade practices already outlawed by statute. The house had previously adopted the resolution by a vote of 201 to 121, only a few Democrats standing with the Republicans against It Immediately after the house had acted, it was announced at the White House that Donald Richberg would re tire as chairman of the practically dead NRA on June 16. and that Pres ident Roosevelt had accepted his res ignation "with great reluctance," and with assurances of his "affectionate regard." p LAN'S for spending the $4,000,000, 000 work-relief fund are coming to the fore rapidly and numerously. Repre sentative Mitchell, Democrat, of Ten nessee, has introduced a bill requir ing the President to use $1,000,000,000 to help the durable goods Industries. By its terms factories supplying ma chinery and materials would be reim bursed for losses directly attributable to hiring new men. Mr. Mitchell thinks his plan would aid in the production Of S80,000,000,000 worth of durable goods needed by private industry. The War department filed a request for $17,071,388 to fluance the construc tion of 36 army bases in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California and Kansas. The Labor department asked for $400,000 for research designed to aid the United States employment serv ice in selecting and placing workers on relief Jobs and in private industry. THOUSANDS of Republicans from ten states of the Middle West gath I ered in Springfield, til., for the "grass roots" conference and, in the shadow Of tho tnmK n# A k?<? ?v ivuiu vk auia h a m Lincoln, who 8aved the Union, solemnly determined to 8ave the "Indestruc tible states" from what th<?y consider an as sault on their constl tutional rights. The gathering was consid ered so important that !t attracted political ObSerVftPO frnm .11 over the country. Most ,ran^ ?f the delegates were cw en Foung men eager for the battle, but w'th them were many white-haired leaders of former frays whose enthu siasm and patriotism have survived years. After a pilgrimage to the New Salem state park where the scenes of Lin coin's youth have been reconstructed. - the delegates assembled In the fair 3 grounds Coliseum and were welcomed - by George W. Bunn of Springfield, gen - eral chairman of the local committee. I Barrlson E. Spangler of Cedar Rap . Ids, Iowa, was Installed as temporary ? chairman and made a speech In which ? President Roosevelt was pilloried for i all manner of political and govegn I mental sins, from killing sli million t pigs and breaking campaign pledges i to violating the Constitution and at i tempting to set up a dictatorship. Mr. ' i Spangler then Introduced the orator of the day, Frank O. Lowden, former gov r ernor of Illinois and former aspirant , for the Republican Presidential nomi , nation. i Mr. Lowden, breaking a political si lence of seven years, vigorously de nounced President Roosevelt's proposal to change the Constitution to fit the New Deal and argued at length for i maintenance of the bill of rights un impaired. JN THE "platform" adopted by the grass roots conference these govern mental policies were advocated: 1. The Immediate adoption of a policy of economy and thrift In gov ernment with due allowance for essen tial relief expenditures as opposed to the present spending policy of waste and extravagance. 2. The prompt attainment of a bal anced budget, not by the misleading method of douhle bcfokketplng, but by the honest method of bringing the ex penses of the government within the limits of its Income. 3. A sound currency based'on gold and definitely stabilized by congressso that Individual enterprise may have confidence in the future value of the dollar. In terras of which every man's plans for his present or future must necessarily be made. 4. The immediate withdrawal of government from competition with pri vate industry. 5. The maintenance of the vitality and free growth of American Indus try through the preservation of the competitive system protected against monopoly by the vigorous enforcement of anti-trust laws, so that small busi nesses may be preserved, and the door of equal opportunity kept open to all. 6. The rigid enforcement of all laws, civil and criminal, to prevent and punish dishonest or unfair prac tices In business. Industry, and finance. 7. National recognition of the needs of agriculture. Agriculture is a funda mental industry of the United States. The farmer is. of right, entitled to a fair and proportionate part of the national income and to receive a parity price for the products of his farm in domestic markets. 8. Work for the workers. With men out of work, as now, the capital struc ture of the nation is not only' being Impaired but undermined. 9. The breaking down of arbitrary restrictions that throttle worid com merce, such as quotas and exchange restrictions. 10. Continued protection to farm and home ownership, and continued provision, In co-operation with state and local governments, for those that are In need until private enterprise absorbs the present army of the un employed. TAXES totaling $475,000,000 would go out of existence before July 31 if not extended, so a resolution con tinuing them two years was being hur ried through the house in accord with the wish of the President Among them are the 3-cent postage and the 1-cent-a gallon federal gasoline charge. A sec ond resolution was being prepared to plug loopholes in existing tax laws and to adjust present rates found to be j unconscionable or unproductive. THE American Federation of Labor more than any other group except the old brain trust bemoans the death of KRA, and Its attorneys are busy drafting a bill designed to take its place in a measure. This measure pro poses to put under federal license all i concerns engaged In Interstate com- < raerce or handling goods destined for I such commerce. Those companies i would be exempted from the opera tions of the antitrust laws but would be required to agree to hours of labor and working conditions determined by i a federal commission. i I MAX BAER lost the heavyweight l championship of the world, being i defeated by James J. Braddock at / Long Island City in a 15 round battle. I There were no knock downs and < neither man was badly punished. < I APAN Is moving swiftly to obtain the control over north China which evidently Is her main objective at pres ent New demands were presented to the Chinese government at Nanking, and when some of these were declared unacceptable the Japanese troops and officials began moving Into Peiplng and Tientsin and all the area between the Great Wall and the Yellow river. The Chinese officials, being helpless, moved out and the branches of the Kuomin tang or People's party were closed. The central council In Nanking, though accepting some of the Japanese de mands, could see nothing but trouble ahead and instructed Gen. Ho Ylng ching, the war minister, to prepare for eventualities. \ VT A UFA RE between Paraguay and ? ? Bolivia In the Gran Chaco, which has been going on for three years, came to an end after representatives of the two nations signed an armistice j agreement in. Buenos Aires. The truce was the result of conferences between : representatives of Paraguay, Bolivia and' six neutral nations?the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile and .Uruguay. An attempt will now be made to settle the disputes by direct negotiations. If these fall the World court at The Hague will be called on to render Judgment REINSDOBF, a German town 52 miles southwest of Berlin, was virtually destroyed by the blowing up of a great munitions plant and the en suing fires. Because of rigid censor ship It was Impossible to learn the number of casualties. Nazi officials admitted there were 52 dead, 79 In jured seriously and 300 slightly hurt. GEAT BRITAIN'S attitude toward : the crisis In east Africa has en raged all of Fascist Italy and the at tacks on England In the Italian press became so bitter that Mussolini had to j order that they be toned down a little, though it was denied in Rome that the British had made any diplomatic pro test B Duce, however, continues his outspoken denunciation of the British course. In a speech at Cagllarl, the Capital of Sardinia, he defied his Eu ropean critics who have requested, him to deal less harshly with the Ethiopi ans, and attacked the British without going to the trouble of hiding his words behind diplomatic formulas. "We will Imitate to the letter those who taught us this lesson," he shouted, referring to British colonizing methods which his press has been "exposing." "They have demonstrated that when they were creating an empire and de fending It they never took Into consid eration world opinion. "We have got old, and we have got new accounts to settle with Ethiopia, and we will settle them. We will pay no attention to what is said in foreign ! countries. We exclusively are the judges of our own Interests and the guarantors of our future." Actually, Mussolini's plans for war with Ethiopia are not very popular i in Italy, but British interference is increasing his support dally. The re- | constructed British cabinet Is much worried over the situation and be- | lieves the war cannot now be stopped. | LONG ago the President said he j was formulating a special message to congress on relief of the railways and federal regulation of all forms of J transportation. This he finally sent In, \ asking for the following legislation at ( this session: 1. Amendment of the bankruptcy act of 1933 to facilitate financial re organization of railways. 2. Regulation of air transport by the interstate commerce commission. 3. Regulation of highway motor car- | riers, provided for In a bill passed by the senate. 4. Regulation of intercoastal and coastwise trade and some Inland water carriers. 5. Extension for one year of the of- ! flee of federal co-ordinator of transpor tation and of the emergency railroad transportation act of 1933. At the same time Joseph B. Eastman, federal co-ordinator of transportation, [ recommended to the railroads drastic changes in rate structures, schedules and types'of cjuipment. TWO of- the kidnapers of young George Weyerjjaeuser of Tacoma? Harmon M. Waley and bis wife Mar garet?wtre arrested in Salt Lake City, where the wnman was passing $20 bills that were part of the ransom money. A third member of the gang, William Ma ban, an ex-convict, was being hunted in the vicinity of Butte, Mont, in which 1<0 was forced to abandon a stolen automobile that contained $15 iX)6 of the sum paid for release of the hoy. Waley and his wife confessed their part in the crime. WASHINGTON swarmed with Shriners for a week, and they ?njoyed themselves In their character istic ways. Leonard P. Steuart of that city was advanced automatically to the position of imperial potentate, and A. G. Arvold of Fargo, N. D, was liven the coveted outer guard office, Srst step toward the top.

BURGESS WHAT DANNY MOUSE WAS DOING A LL the time Nanny Meadow Moose at home on the Green Meadows was worrying herself almost sick be cause Danny Meadow Mouse didn't come home, Danny himself was too busy with his own troubles to even think of Nanny. He had been trapped In a hollow log by Billy Mink and then Billy had been frightened away by Mrs. Booty the Owl, who had then flown away to hunt for a meal in another part of the Green Forest. This had been Danny's chance to get out of that hollow log and he had made the most of It He had run his fastest until he Just had to stop for breath and to rest a little. 5Tou know Danny's legs are short, and though he can run fast for a short distance, he cannot run far without resting. He crept under a pile of leaves to recover his breath and think what to do next. It Is hard work to think when you are out of breath. Danny found It so. When at last he had stopped panting he began to con sider what to do next Never had he Buster Stopped and Raked Over Some Leaves With His Great Paws. been In that part of the Green Forest. He didn't know a single hiding place. This gave Danny a most uncomfortable feeling. "I will have to trust to luck," thought Danny. "Yes, sir, I will have to trust to luck. There Isn't anything else I can do." Just then he heard heavy, shuffling footsteps. Now, who was coming? Danny's heart began to go plt-a-pat, as he peeped out from under the leaves. *yoii Know? | f ^ ^ I That in the early days of baseball many of the bats men must have been Babe Ruths. Nineteen or twenty home runs in a game was nothing unusual. The Ath letics of 1865-66 played eight games in which the score passed the hundred mark. fr IfeClur* Ntwspaper Byadlcat*. WNTJ ferric*. 1 ? ' j What he saw made his bright little eyes almost pop oat of his head and his head and his heart almost stopped beating. Shuffling along straight to ward him was a huge black form. Nev er In his life had Danny felt quite so little and helpless. He knew who It was. There was no mistaking that great black fellow. It was Buster Bear. What to do Danny didn't know, so he did nothing. He simply crouched right where he was under that little pile of leaves and wished that he could shrink Into nothing at all. Yes, sir, that Is what Danny wished. Buster stopped and raked over some leaves with his great paws, at the same time sniffing among them with bis nose. Ev ery sniff sent a shiver over Danny. Buster picked up something and ate It. What It was Danny didn't know, but he did know that If Buster should find a certain little Meadow Mouse un der the leaves he would treat it In Just the same way. Danny wanted to run. Never In all his life had Danny wanted to run as he did right that minute. But there was nowhere to run to. He didn't know of a single hiding place. Bus ter Bear hadn't found him yet and didn't know that he was anywhere about If he should run. Buster would be likely to see or hear him, while, If he sat still. Buster might not rake over that pile of leaves. So Danny sat still. ? T. W. Burgesa.?WN'U Service. 1E>AEA KNCWS-I j? "Pop, what it an epitaph?" "Last word." C Bell 8yndlca.te.-WNU 8?rvlce.
