Victory Plan of i Methodists Here To Be Followed Rock Hill People Will Use Scheme; Delegation 1 Here Sunday Having learned of the success | of the Victory Fund campaign of i the First Methodist Sunday school here, five representatives ot St. John’s Methodist church of Rock Hill, S. C.» came to Hendersonville Sunday to familiarize themselscs with the plan of organization and operation. . . Details of the financial plan, which was inaugurated here early last year by the Rev. Claude H. Moser as a means of meeting tin-* church building obligations, were j explained to the visitors by B. H.j Colt, secretary, and they were so well pleased with it that they stat ed that they would place it in op eration in the Rock Hill chinch, which is perhaps twice as large as the local church. Under the plan, a weekly pledge is secured from every member of the Sunday school, and when this is paid the member is given credit with a star on a large chart in each Sunday school class room. Emphasis is placed on regularity of payment rather than on the size of the pledge, this being known only by the secretary. The plan increased the Sunday school collection here from about $8.00 wecklv to more than $30. In the Rock Hill party were J. C. Hardin, chairman of the church hoard 'of trustees; A. C-. Patterson, Sunday school treasur er; I*. R. Jenkins, church treasur er; W. <’. Holroyd, treasurer of the building fund, and Mrs. R. M. Massey, secretary to the pastor. Mr. Patterson is a brother of Mrs. J I). Pullin and Mrs. F. H. Kin caid of Hendersonville and for merly lived here. Orleans Bakers Reject New Code NEW ORLEANS, Julv 31.— (UP).—Master bread bakers of this city Sunday refused to tall in line with President Roosevelt s blanket code for all industry, con tending that to do so would auto matically call for aa increase of from 30 to 50 per cent in bread prices. , , „ The announcement, made by t .

In refusing to sign the volun tary agreement the bakers de clared, “Ii, is the belief of the * bakers that the mass of the con suming public cannot at this time afford to pay such prices foi bread, and will not be able to dc so until a great "number of people are put to work and general wage* are increased.” TWO MEN ARE IN CUSTODY SOON AFTER RELEASE GIVEN KIDNAPED JOHN O’CONNELL FLORIDA BLOW MOVING WEST; NO FATALITIES Traveling Toward St. Pe tersburg But Losing Intensity SARASOTA.

Death Penalty for Mis souri Kidnaper Be lieved to Speed Negotiations ALBANY, N. Y., July 31. (UP) Two unidentified men were being held in custody here today, less than 24 hours after John O’Con nell, Jr., heir to the powerful po litical empire of Albany was re leased by kidnapers following pay ment of $40,000, and authorities announced they expected to “break the case” quickly. O’Connell was returned Sunday j to the mountain camp of his j uncle, Daniel O’Connell, after $40,000 ransom had been paid to kidnapers who held him captive for three weeks. The kidnapers, who first de manded $250,000, reduced this figure to $75,000 and finally ac ceded to an offer of $40,000 when the O’Connell family convinced them this represented the maxi mum they could raise. Details of young O’Connell’s return were guarded carefully. O’Connell, a National Guard of ficer, was physically unharmed. The camp to which he returned is about 15 miles from the state cap itol where the O’Connell political machine shares with Tammany Ilall in the distribution of each] <-•1-.it/I nnt.rnnaffp Newspapermen, barred from seeing O’Connell, were informed bV friends of the family that he was suffering slightly from nerv ousness and shock. This was considered an indica tion that his confinement at the hands of the kidnapers had been unpleasant. Friends said that only a shock of major proportions could have shaken the youth, known for his powerful physique and vitality. Participants in the return ne gotiations said the kidnapers showed a surprising compliance in the last few days, presumably be cause of the death penalty meted out by a Missouri jury to Walter McGee, abductor of Mary Me El roy, daughter of the city manager of Kansas City. • Gov. Herbert H. Lehman last night joined federal and local police in the search for the kid napers, pledging co-operation ot the entire forces of the state to “stamp out kidnaping and all other forms of racketeering in the state of New York.” Fire Destroys Saluda Cottage SALUDA, July 31.—Fire total- j ly destroyed a summer cottage and furniture said to be owned by Mr. Frank George, of Lexing ton.

MUR WEEK PRIVILEGE FOR SMALL STORES Against NRA Policy to Work Hardships Upon Business STEEL TRADE WOULD GIVE UP OWN UNIONS WASHINGTON, July 31. (UP) —The steel industry is willing to delete from its code the provision designed to maintain company sponsored unions. Robert P.

STOKES - United Press Staff Correspondent Copyright, 1933, by U. P WASHINGTON, July 31. (UP). General Hugh S. Johnson, na tional recovery administrator, agreed last night to the first modification in President Roose velt’s voluntary blanket code in approving a temporary code for the retail trade affecting 5,000, 000 “white collar” workers. Johnson acquiesced to the in sistent demands that small retail stores be permitted to employ woikers up to 48 hours per week, instead of limiting hours to 40 as the voluntary re-employment agreement provides. Representatives of the retail trade, who were closeted for several hours with Johnson Sun day, agreed to the minimum wage scales for the “white col lar” class which range from $12 to $16 per week, according to population of towns and cities. The concession on hours, which will permit a graduation up to 48 for smaller establishments in small towns, was the first “break” in the voluntary code. This modification may open the way for others. The temporary retail code, to be effective until the trade sub mits its permanent code was formulated under section 13 of the blanket code which permits an industry to substitute pro visions of is permanent code for the blanket code upon approval of the NRA. This is the first such case. A number of other industries, in cluding lumber, are seeking 4 similar “stop-gap” code. It would constitute a sort of cross be tween the regulation blanket code and the permanent code and may be adjusted to different cases. Johnson will insist that this code covering the retail trade dry goods, grocery stores, cloth* iers, drugstores and the like— does not establish a precedent. He will take the position that it fits in with the administration’s announced intention to avert hardships. * I I Who is Ward! Van Orman ?
