G. —(AP) — House hearings on tlv' Ellenbogen textile control bill closed today with a warn i!i-T from Francis J.

In Convention City Also Picks Wadsworth As Running Mate BORAH LIKES SENATE Idahoan, Unable To Raise Money for Hard Campaign and Will Likely Stand for Ile-Election in Home State By LESLIE EICHEL Contra! Press Staff Writer Cleveland, Feb. 6. —The prevailing sentiment in Republican circles in this convention city is that Governor Alfred 'MI Landon of Kansas will gain the Republican nomination for presi dent. For one thing, big money men are swinging over to him rapidly. They are the men who will have to pay for the campaign. The vice presidential nomination in the event Landon heads the ticket, may fall to Representative James W. Wadsworth of 14ew York. There you have a west and east dry and wet combination. ilvome Ohioans are talking of Rep resentative Chester C. Bolton, of Cleveland for the vice presidential nomination. But Bolton is too much of a “blue, stocking ” He represents the "blue stocking” district of Cleve land, has many millions of dollars of his own and is the man who raised the money to bring the Republican convention (o Cleveland. He is distinctly Old Guard. So is Wadsworth. But Wadsworth has a great deal of popularity in upstate New York.

PEKIILJE^ 2,000 Union Men To Go Back To Work; Merch ants Become Defiant Peking, 111-, Feb. 6. —(AP) The tluree-day general strike of 2,000 union men in Peking was ended today. Tiie announcement was made by Jack Cancel!a, business agent for tiie Peoria and Peking Build ing Trades Union. Cancella indicated the order caLling off the strike probably would lie effective at once. The action of the labor men came shortly after organized bus iness men of Peking had announc ed they would defy the unionists and reopen their business estab lishments tomorrow. Peking, 111., Feb. 6.—(AP)—House wives of this strike-beleaguered city of 17.000 rationed their food 1 supplies today as their husbands looked with alarm on rapidly dwindling coal piles. “How long will it last?’* was the question on every side as the third day of the general strike, growing out of labor troubles at the American Distilling Company’s huge plant, was ushered in by a swirling snowstorm. “Until Harry Donahue is fired as chief of police,” the strike committee of the trades and laibor assembly an sewerd. “If he hadn’t tried to break up our picket lines last Monday, all this would have been avoided.” State and Federal labor conciliators prepared to continue a conference with strike leaders and officials of the distilling company at nearby Perior. Resentment was growing among many citizens and merchants against the general strike. The “man on the street” and peo ple at home were tight-lipped in dis cussing the situation, apparently fear ing reprisals for criticisms, but a few merchants were openly hostile. All business was paralyzed except for emergency rations such as millc for the sick, needy and small children and coal deliveries, which the com mittee permitted, under its super vision. BUSINESS ALL SET TOWARD NEW PEAK In Spite of Bitter Weather, Major Lines of Produc tion Near Hottest 1 1935 Pace NEAR HIGH POINT IN 6-YEAR PERIOD Retail Trade Shows General and Healthy Rebound from Mild Slump Caused by On set of Rigors of Winter; Stock Exchange Values Highest Since April, 1931 New York, Feb. 6.—(AP)— In the wide sweep of industrial recovery, as disclosed recently by an impressive array of statistics, business analysts see a strong foundation for a further push toward new peaks of production and consumption. In spite of successive storms and cold waves, which tended temporarily to lessen consumer buying in certain retail channels, most major lines of production, business students assert, are holding close to the hottest pace of 1935, set in the final quarter. The Associated Press index of in dustrial activity stands close to the recently-recorded highest point in nearly six years. Retail trade, thrown into a mild slump two weeks ago by the onset of severe weather, has shown a general and healthy rebound. The Department of Commerce esti mates that general business experi enced a gain of ten percent in Janu ary over January, 1935. The total open market value of shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange rose more than $3,000,000,- 000 in January and at $50,164,000,000 stands at the highest level reported by the Exchange since April, 1931.

While snow fell from Montana to lowa, and Illinois, sending tempera tures up from 6 to 20 degrees, bitter weather took a firm hold on the northeast, and the mercury dropped there from 10 to 20 points.

BAKKRRVILL Raleigh, Feb. 6.—Wnat will Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, one of the four candidates for the Democratic nomin ation for governor, say in his first campaign speech, which he is to de liver tonight over the Statewide radio hook-up that will include the Char lotte, Raleigh, and Asheville stations. Will he devote most of his speech to giving his position on State issues, or will he devote most of it to a discus sion of the national situation, Roose velt, the “New Deal” and touch only light on controversial issues here with in the State? These and other questions are being asked in political circles here today where the forthcoming speech is the prevailing topic of conservation. Most politial observers regard this speech by Mr. Hoey tonight—it will last from 8 to 9 o’clock —as the most important single incident in the present cam paign for the Democratic nomination for governor. They maintain that it will serve to outline the issues in the campaign more than anything that has developed so far and that it also should serve to make it clear at the outset whether Hoey is going to Iba as strong a candidate as his support ers claim. It is generally conceded that for many months now the supporters of both Dr. Ralph W. McDonald and of Lieutenant Governor A. H.

Albuquerque, N. M., Feb. 6 (AP)— The forbidden country of the “Peni tents” was invaded by manhunters today in a search for the killers of Carl Taylor, young travel writer, who was shot to death after completing an expose of the strange religious sect. The body of the 30-year-old author and adventurer, whose writings have appeared in several British and Ame rican travel magazines, was found on the floor of his lonely Sandy Moun tains cabin, 20 miles east of here, last night. On a desk lay the newly-finished manuscript of his latest article, a story of the secret practices of the “Penitents,” a self-torture cult of New Mexico. Modesto Trujillo, 16-year-old Span ish-American neighbor of the slain author, raced to Justice of the Peace Austin Chavez last night and blurted out the story of Taylor’s death. Two men with rags over their faces, he entered the cabin where Taylor and Turjillo were visiting and opened fire on the writer. The terri fied Trujillo ran at the first shot.
