BORAH STARTS LONE CRUSADE To Carry on Single Hand ed Fight Against "New Deal's" Bureaucracy By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1934, United Press) WASHINGTON, July 6. (UP). Slipping: again into the role of "lone wolf," Senator William E. Borah (R., Ida.), departed last night on a one-man crusade against bureaucracy and monopoly under the "new deal." The thundering oratory of the venerable Idahoan, which crackled about the League of Nations dur ing the famous senate fight, will roar from town halls and audito rius from coast to coast as the Borah of old lashes out again. Cheered by hundreds of tele grams and telephone messages1 which greeted his speech in which he sounded his battle cry the night of the Fourth of July, Bo rah said yesterday he would rest in Chicago for several days be fore beginning a speaking itiner ary which will carry him as far west as Seattle, Wash. His itinerary will be governed chiefly by financial considera tions. Rorah is not a wealthy man and has no civic or political or ganization backing him in his latest fight. ' In taking his battle to the coun try, Borah will attack two phases of the "new deal:" 1. Bureaucracy which he con tends is depriving Americans of their constitutional liberties; 2. Monopolies which gouge the consumer as a result of suspen sion of anti-trust laws;. Always a "question mark'' in Republican party politics, the Idaho senator is undertaking to arouse public sentiment chiefly in a demand for restoration of anti trust laws. He decided to lead the lone fight only after high officials of the Republican party had re fused to include the issue of al leged monopolistic price fixing in their strategy for the. forthcoming congressional elections campaign. C. Of C. To Seek Program Support The Chamber of Commerce to morrow will begin a drive for funds to be used in an entertain ment program for visitors this summer, Milo W.

(UP).—President Roose velt stepped ashore at Cap Hai tiwn, chief port of Haiti, yester day and voiced an appeal that the : people of the island republic carry on in a spirit of friendship with the United States after the early | withdrawal of U. S. marines. In genial good humor, the chief • executive drank a toast to the Haitians as they cheered him to the echo, adding: "To your government and peo ple—may our friendship ever con- ; tinue." The president, making his first foreign call on his vacation curise to Hawaii, was greeted by Presi dent Stenio Vincent and high gov ernment dignitaries as the cruiser Houston nosed into the blue wa ters of Cap Haitien's tropical har bor, and dropped anchor. Vincent, in a brief word of wel come, assured Mr. Roosevelt of the close relations and affection between the people of America and Haiti. He intimated that tha Roosevelt administration's with drawal of marines, long garri soned in the island, had gone far to remove hard feelings. The exchange of compliments and good will messages came at a reception for the Roosevelt party at the spacious clubhouse ashore. NEW DEAL HAS SET BACK FROM F. R.'S DISTRICT But It Is Recalled That It Also Gave Hoover Ma jority Over Roosevelt POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. July 6.—(UP).—The "new deal" suf fered a steback in President Roosevelt's home district last night in a special election to fill a vacant seat in the New York state senate. Incomplete returns showed that tJlenn Newell, Democrat, who campaigned for the "new deal" was running behind his Republi can opponent Frederick Bonte cou. Returns from Mr. Roosevelt's home county, Dutchess, gave Bontecou a 6000 majority. The president, it was recalled, was defeated by Herbert Hoover in his home county. Newell stumped the district supporting the president's entire program. The president's home village also voted asrainst the "new deal" by criving Bontecou a majority.

CANNON OPENS DRY CAMPAIGN Bone-Dry Banner Raised in New Formidable Prohibition Drive WASHINGTON, July 6. (UP). [Jnder a bone-dry banner held iloft by Bishop James Cannon, Jr., the .nation's anti-liquorites lave launched a formidable drive ;o restore prohibition. In fashion reminiscent of the jar-smashing days of Carrie Na :ion, church bodies throughout ;he country are uniting under the Cannon standard and pro ahesying bad times for John Barleycorn. They've set out to carry the fight into the schools, the church es, to the fall congressional elec tions and to the White House, ind publicity bureaus have taken up the pen to keep the world ibreast of developments. In the background but not as pet actively supporting the cam paign, the Women's Christian remperance Union is girding its self for the fight and is expected to move to the election front in September. Anti-Saloon League headquar ters at Westerville, 0., has be come increasingly active and the league probably will occupy a front-line trench when many con" pressmen, who dropped all dry pretense and came out as drip ping wets, go to the polls for vin dication. Word of the campaign which made a gasping start in a sham bles left by the epeal cyclone, came from Bishop Cannon whose jwn ecclesiastical group, Metho dist Episcopal Church, south, has come out with old-time vigor against the saloon. "Now that the unthinking, reckless and deceptive craze for repeal has spent its force." he said, "the people are discovering the wreckage which has been wrought, for repeal has develop ed the most distressing condition^ I have ever known. "Leaders of both political par ties declared most positively their opposition to return of the sa loon in any guise and also for the protection of drv territory. The president of the United States as late as December 30, 1933, ap pealed publicly to the Democratic leader of Missouri to defeat leg islation which would permit re turn of the saloon. But within 30 davs the president himself signed a bill which brought back saloons to the District of Colum bia. over which legislation he had absolute veto power. "Notwithstanding, therefore, all the pledges which were made, the saloon has returned, not only with its former evil accomplish ments, but with the addition of barmaids, and with indiscriminate patronage by women." The results, said Bishop Can non, "have been an unprecedend ed increase in drunkenness, espe cially among women, the de* bauching of young girls and boys, and an outstanding fact is the startling increase in accidents from drunken driving. "Multiplied thousands now realize," he said, "that they were deceived and betrayed as to the results of repeal, by leaders of both political parties." LONG MACHINE PASSING BILLS OF VENGEANCE Kingfish Dictating 'Spite' Tax Measures Against Press of State f COTTON EXCHANGE, UTILITIES STRUCK AT BATON ROUGE, La., July 6. (UP).—Senator Huey Long is wreaking vengeance on newspa per^. the cotton exchange and utilities. His political machine yesterday as Long stood on the floor of the Jaw-making body rammed a two per cent tax on gross advertising on six leading newspapers; passed the house and sent to the senate a bill providing a heavy tax on cotton futures and public utilities took the same course. Bitter quarreling preceded both, votes. "The newspaper tax is an ex ample of what will happen to the little country papers if they don't get right," warned one of the legislators. Protests that no other state im posed such a tax and that it in fringed on the freedom of the press was scoffed at. The cotton exchange has threat ened to leave the state if such a tax is imposed on it. 3!he nevspaper tax applies to "periodicals with more than 20, 000 Circulation." There are only four. They have all opposed Sen ator Long during his rise to pow er. The levy is two per cent of gross proceeds from advertising. Governor O. K. Allen, satellite in the Long administration, sat beside Speaker Allen Ellender on the rostrum. Huey Long stood on the floor. At the height of the session, George Reyer, superintendent of New Orleans police and a group of detectives from that city ar rived to protest another "spite" bill, passed yesterday by the sen ate. It would take control of the police department away from the mayor and city council and vest it in a "brain trust" of college professors and civic leaders. The Long faction has threat ened revenge against New Orleans since the city defeated the Long ticket in the last municipal elec tion. Seek To Revoke TVA Power As Utility Concern Oral Hearing Begins on Privileges Granted by State of Alabama BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 6.— (UP).—Oral hearing will open to day on a petition by ice and coal dealers of Alabama which seeks to have the state public service commission reconsider its order permitting the Tennessee Valley Authority to operate as a utility.
