NATIONAL FLAG /ictors by Unneeded Game ; in League Race Start Series Wednesday NEW YORK Oct. 1.—(UP).— The major league championship season ended yesterday with a grand climax. As a fitting: conclusion to two of the most bitterly-fought pen nant races the game ever knew, Frankie Frisch and his fighting St. Louis Cardinals wrested the .National league pennant from tho New York Giants' Sunday, and I will meet the new American cir cuit champions, the Detroit Ti mers. in the world series starting at Detroit on Wednesday. This last-minute triumph of the Cardinals unquestionably provid ed the most thrilling chapter of either campaign although the tri lumphal march of Mickey Coch rane's Tigers was an epic in itself. These two clubs emerged vic tors from two long, topsy-turvy scrambles in which the New York Giants and Washington Senators were dethroned as champions of the National and American leagues, respectively. They were scrambles that marked the rise to power of new clubs and individual stars and the fading of other teams and big name players. Frankie Frisch, in his first full season as player-manager of the Cards, guided his team to the pennant, although beset by inter nal strife in the club, salary dis satisfactions, cliques of players, and a mid-season strike by his two ace pitchers, the mighty Dean brothers, Dizzy and Paul. The patient Frankie acted as the 'great pacifier" and brought all menacing conditions under con trol. Six and a half games be hind the Giants on Sept. 8, they chopped down the faltering New i York lead with one of the great est late-season surges ever staged. | This campaign saw Dizzy Dean become the National league's heading pitcher with 30 victories 'and 7 defeats. i "DIZZY" DEAN ENDS I SEASON WITH SHUTOUT 1 SPORTSMAN'S PARK, ST.

Brent Schaffer Will Be Heard Nightly at Lutheran Church In his sermons at the Lutheran church Sunday, Dr. Brent Schaef fer presented the first of a series of special messages which will he given during the week. Services will be held at 7:45 o'clock every The subject at the morning ser vice was, "Every Man a Chris tian." 'Che ..preacher said: "Evqtjw man is .sot a Christian but it is Clod's desire, the church's hope, the end of prayer, that this snail be so. Every man needs to be a Christian because of the univers ality of sin and condemnation through unforgiven sin and God has in Christ brought salvation. Christ's redemption is of world wide application. Every race and class and age are included and as God made no distinction of per sons neither must the church. There are congregations which have spurned the efforts of their pastors to bring into the church through confession of Christ those who were of a difFerent social class. It is such a spirit which has prevented the progress of Christian grace. Our hearts should be attuned to the love of God for the world and through prayer, personal contacts, the church and its services, we must strive to bring Christ to men. "But there is another side to | this subject: Every man is to be truly Christian. Church member ship does not necessarily stand for Christianity. Many in the church need to be converted. Many active business men and home builders and energetic housewives and so ciety workers are idelrs and va grants in the church. To be a Christia nmeans more than con fession of faith and a name on the church roll. It means real faith in Christ as Saviour and Lord, this faith inevitably manifesting itself in daily striving after righteous ness and sincere interest and ac tivity in Christian service. "In the face of what is transpir ing in our social order now is no time to lay aside the armor of God. Whatever tomorrow may be the church and its members need now to prepare for it by engaging in a crusade for the possession of the holy land of a truly Christian society andcivilization." The subject of the evening ser mon was "Jesus and I," when the speaker said: "As Jacob wrestled (Continued on page four) Nurse Tells Siory Of Pa jama Parties In High Court NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—(UP).— Mrs. Emma Keiflich, nurse for Gloria Vanderbilt, 10, and $4, 000,000 heiress today told the state supreme court a tale of cock tails, princes and pajamas, in the life of the child's mother, Mrs. Gloria Vanderbilt, who is battling charges that her society career made her unfit to take care of Gloria. The nurse declared that Prince Hohenloe of Paris frequented Mrs. Vanderbilt's bedroom. SOUND MONEY BODY FORMED Headed by Ex-Sen. Owen; Goal Is a Central U. S. Bank NEW YORK, Oct. 1.— (UP) A sound money league, with the creation of a central bank by the U. S. government as its goal, was organized here yesterday and a membership campaign inaugurat ed under the leadership of former Senator Robert L. Owen. Owen, in a statement of the new organization's purposes, em phasized that its main goal was the "creation of a government owned central bank which shall be instructed by legislative mandate" to aid in restoration of confidence and sound banking throughout the country. The proposed bank would have two major functions: "1. To restore our monetary system by expanding the demand deposits of private banks to a nor mal level. "2. To thereafter maintain and stabilize the purchasing* power of the dolLar La such ratio to tha-pro ductivity of the nation as will in sure steadily rising stanards of living." Owen insisted that such a pro gram would "reduce debt, in crease employment, restore sala ries, wages, individual and corpo rate earnings and incomes, and would cause property values to rise, thereby creating higher tax revenues to our national, state and municipal governments." The sound money league favors a central bank, but Owen's state ment emphasized that "the league wishes it clearly understood that such a purpose can be accom plished without inflation, and without the central bank's becom ing a competitor to the private banking institutions of the coun try." ' In more definitely defining the purposes of the bank, he said: "The central bank should fill the gap left in the national credit money system through the de struction of some $20,000,000,000 in bank dpeosits, and to make the buying1 and debt-paying power of the dollar stable. This we believe can be worked out by the commit tees in congress in such manner that there need be no call for the government's going into the busi ness of commercial lending." The former senator took occa sion to attack the Federal Reserve system, commenting: . . The Federal Reserve sys tem has notably failed to accom plish the purpose for which it was created. Our bankers, who are in charge of the system, expand credit in speculative times when it should be contracted, and con tract it in bad times when it should be expanded and made available. For this reason it is cleai that a privately-owned sys tem of control can never attain the economic security which the country needs. . .

BELL, JR. United Pre*s Staff Correspondent Copyright, 1934, by U. P. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. (UP). The AAA has its "second wind" and the spectacular days of "kill a pig" and "plow under a row of cotton" are over, a leading agri cultural planner told the United Press last night. From now on, he explained, the farm relief organization will be passing out of the emergency stage, taking on a more perma nent aspect. No noticeable overhauling of AAA such as that which affect ed NRA last week will occur, the interviewer was told. This of ficial believes the agricultural unit may be regarded as a more or less permanent arm of the department of agriculture. Ac cording to his view, the agricul tural adjustment act always will have a single administrator, as sisted by a corps of advisers and superseded by the secretary of agriculture. "Our attention is now concen trated upon the long-time phases of agricultural adjustment," ne said. AAA officials felt that "by and large" they have done their job well. They are unwilling to claim success but are not displeased with their "batting average." Sincj the George N. Peek epi sode, there has been little ro no internal friction. When Peek resigned as admin istrator and was replaced by Chester C. Davis, the AAA took a new track which has been al tered only slightly. It is planned to continue along the present lines. The fact that there will be no deep-rooted changes, it was said, does not mean that things will be left just as they are. "We're going over the act with a fine tooth comb," one official declared. There may be some parts of it which will require additions, while others may be dropped or modified, he suggested. After careful scrutiny of the act, the AAA legal division will be in structed to make recommenda tions for legislation at the next congress. It was pointed out that the act while giving broad fiscal powers —methods to collect and distri bute money to co-operating farm continued on page four) NRA Effect Upon Labor Is Harmful Or Unsatisfactory That Is View Taken by Ex ecutive Council of Fed eration in Report SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.— (UP).—Sha-p criticism of the workings of the NRA was voiced Sunday by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor. The annual report of the coun cil to the federation's convention, ; which opens here today, devoted pages to an analysis of the effect of the NRA upon the interests of labor. Almost without exception, the effects were found either di rectly harmful or at least unsat J The criticism was devoted to (the workings of the recovery (program, in actual operation. The NRA and the New Deal itself were not condemned But the committee indicted the operation of the program on these main grounds: That it has failed to increase the purchasing power of workers. That because it has failed to reduce hours of labor sufficiently it also has failed to create a satis factory number of new jobs. That its compliance machinery is ineffective, with the result that violations of the spirit of the codes are easily accomplished and 1 quite general. Labor does not have proper representation in either code en forcement or administration. 'In one way," the report says pointing to what seems to be viewed as the only satisfactory accomplishment thus far under the NRA, "codes have fulfilled expectations. They haye, with few exceptions, wiped out child labor.

I NEW BATCHES UNEARTHED I GOTHAM BANKS Latest .Finds Declared Not Linked With the Haupt mann Case WILL SPEEDlEARCH FOR NEW SUSPECTS NFW YORK, Oct. 1.—(UP).— An impending: surprise develop ment in the Lindbergh case was hinted today when Bronx county and New Jersey officials resumed work on plans to prosecute Bruno R. Hauptmann. Although officials withheld com ment, the impression grew that that either New Jersey's plans for extradition or search for a possi ble accomplice had developed im portant new information. The belief is supported by the fact that two additional batches of Lindbergh ransom money de posited last August have been dis covered, but they are not linked with Hauptmann. District Attorney Samuel Fo ley admitted that the woman will be one of the most important wit nesses at the Hauptmann trial but he has refused to reveal her name. NEW JERSEY'S CASE NOT YET COMPLETE TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 1. (UP) Governor A. Harry Moore of New Jersey today indicated that his state's case against Bruno Richard Hauptmann is not yet strong enough to warrant extradition of Hauptmann from New York on trial for kidnap or murder charges in connection with the Lindbergh case. FOLEY RETICENT lit CASE YESTERBA¥*i NEW YORK, Oct. 1. (M*?1 Bruno Richard HauptmaiM@b£'i as the man who received in ransom money in 4ft bergh kidnaping, paced steel cell in the Broni as detectives and investigator* of the district attorney clung to the trail they hope will lead to arrest of one or more additional persons in the case. District Attorney Samuel J. Foley, who took the afternoon off to attend the baseball game at the Polo Grounds, appeared to have "closed up" on new devel opments in the case and refused to discuss his statement that a woman has been found who has evidence of great importance. Wide speculation followed the prosecutor's statement. Some be lieved the woman was involved in some manner in the transfer of the ransom money at St. Ray mond's cemetery. Others thought, however, that she would prove to be merely a friend of Hauptmann who had come upon some infor mation of importance bearing fti his relation to iite Lindbergh case. Reports yesterday said that au thorities were searching for a for mer policeman who had been a friend of the German carpenter, but at Foley's office it was said nothing is known of such a man. The district attorney continued to refuse to reveal the result of physical examinations of the prisoner made by doctors repre senting both prosecution and the defense Hauptmann is to be studied by alienists some time this week, with indication that he may resort to an insanity defense, Foley believes, it was learned, that Hauptmann was the man who climbed a ladder into the Lind bergh nursery and took the child from its crib, but he has hesitat de to make a public expression of his belief, feeling that it would be interpreted as an infringement on the functions of New Jersey authorities. Hauptmann ate hearty meals yesterday despite his apparent moodines. Jailers said he slept soundly and had to be awakened for breakfast. At the district attorney's office it was said that several of the ransom bills have been deposited in New York since Hauptmann was arrested. These notes, it was understood, include three $10 bills, one $20 bill and a $5 silver certificate.
