NEGATIVE REPLIES NOT NEWDEAL FOE Answers To Questionnaire Not Indication of Roose velt Hostility By CHARLES P. STEWART Washington. July 31. (CP) —If Pres ident Roosevelt, aftera sking “Are you better off than you were last year? Are your debts less burdensome? Is your bank account more secure. Are your working conditions better? Is your faith in your individual future more firmly grounded? had refrained from asking also “Have you as an in dividual paid too high a price for these gains?” maybe he would not have left himself so very wide open. Undoubtedly a handsome majority answers to his question No. 1 would have been negative anyway. Returns from my own little ques tionnaire* on the subject strongly in dicate that answers to queries Nos. 2,3, 4, and 5, likewise would have been negative—anyway. All these negative rejoiners wouldn’t have mattered so much, however if interrogatory No. 6 had been omit ted. Such having been the case, it might have been reasonable to argue that the White House tenant was ask ing what he didask simply for infor mation.

PENDULUMifIT SCARING LIBERALS They See Reversal of Trend Toward Fascism To Off set Communism ■ ./ By LESLIE EICHEL New York, July 31. CAP)—Liberals in New York at (least) are frighten ed. There is no question concerning that. They see a radical swing to the right (Fascism) to crush a radical swing tot he left (ommunism). Thus anarticle entitled “Why Lib eralism is Bankrupt’ ’by Nathaniel Peffer in Harper’s Magazine for Aug ust is receiving considerable atten tion. Peffer, formerly a professor at Co lumbia, has been a writer for “high brow” publications for a number of years now. He is widely known for his volumes, “The White Man’s Dilemma” and “China: The Collapse of a Civilization”. He passedtwo years in the Far East as a Fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation. His present article in Harper’s promisesto raise protests among the liberals—with whom President Roose velt has aligned himself. * * * Prefer Phrases Some of the Peffer phrases that arouse the Liberals are: “The moral and intellectual bank ruptcy of liberalism in our time needs no demonstration. ...” “One of the familiar figures of our time is the tired radical, or the tired liberal for that matter. The truth about him is not so much that he is radical or liberal as that he is tired, and it was not so much, his radical ism or lfberalismthat tired him as his pursuit of adolescent illusions. . . .” 1 (Continued on Page Four) is. > < Will Apply for 1934-35 Mar keting Year Under Farm Administration’s Program BENEFIT PAYMENTS NEXT YEAR SET UP Disbursement Plan for Pro duction Control Next Year Has Been Developed And Is In Operation, Making Tax Necessary at the Pre' sent Rate Washington, July 31. (#>) —The Farm Administration announced today the continuation of the processing tax on cotton at 4.2 cents per pound for the 1134-35 marketing year. The announcement was made, the administration said, to counteract the rumors and uncertainties that had de veloped regarding the tax during the past several months. The program of rental and benefit payments to farmers for produdglon control q,«*t year, officials said, has been developed and is in operation, necessarily requiring continuation of the tax at :he present rate. The agriculture adjustment act pro vides that the tax rates shall be de termined by the secretary of agricul ture, according to a formula prescrib ed as of the date the tax takes effect, and shall be adjusted at intervals as the secretary finds necessary. No adjustment was deemed avisable at this time, the administration said. “The administration feels warrapted in assuring industry that no re-de termination of the rate of raw cot ton processing tax is at present con templated,” .the announcement said. Davis Cup Will Stay In Britain Wimbledon, England, July 31.

(AP) —An of ficial account of the execution of Franz olzwerber today said that as he stood on the gallowis before he was hanged he shouted: “I die for Germany! H«il Hit ler.” Otto Planetta, said the account, shouted: “Hell Hitler”, (Copyright by The Associated Press) Vienna, July 31. (^P) — Two Nazis ac cused of high treason in the killing of Chancellor Engelbert oDllfuss were hanged this afternoon afterthey had been convicted by a court martial. The two men—Otto Pianetta, former soldier, and Franz Holzweber—weye hanged after a plea of their counsel for clemency was rejected. * Planetta was accused of firing the fatal shot ahd Holzweber of leading the Nazi putsch into the feddfdl chancellory last Wlednesday. Planetta said in the course of the trial that he fired the fatal sho»., Add ing: “I did not mean to kill the chan cellor. I am sorry.” Holzweber was charged with lead ing the Nazi putsch in which the chancellor was slain. Oddly enough, the death sentences passed today are the first made by an Austrian court against Nazis, despite the fact that ollfuss decreed death months ago against persons found guilty of seditious activity. Several socialists were executed under these decrees, but the death sentence was never passed against a Nazi while Dollfuss was alive. Meanwhile, new bombing outrages harassed Austria’s Fascist govern ment. V Their revolt all out stamped out, Nazis are replacing bullets with bombs in a renewed campaign of ter ror. Explosions were reported in the provinces and .in Vienna. The first decree of the new gov ernment headed by Dr. Kurt Schusch nigg aimed a heavy blow at Nazis. It orders them placed in concentra tion camps at hard labor, their prop erty to be confiscated. The measure is more drastic than any used by Doll fuss in crushing socialists last winter and spring. A government communique says it is mopping up the revolt in the pro vinces, especially in Carinthia, where Nazis established a stronghold. Many are said to be fleeing into Yugoslavia. Italy’s army is in encamped nearby on the border. Noble New Home Loan Head Here 350 Acres in Moore County Acquired and May Be Operat ed in the Future Washington, uly 31.
