FIRST EXECDTION OF KIDNAPER HAD Arthur Gooch, 27, Hanged in Oklahoma; Efforts To Save Him Fail McAlester, Okla., June 19.—(AP; — Arthur Gooch, 27, convicted kidnaper of two Texas officers, was hanged at the State Prison here today—the first person executed for kidnaping under the Federal Lindbergh law. A crowd estimated at more than 350 persons, including eight women, witnessed the execution. A year and four days ago the kidnaper was sen tenced to death for abducting two Paris, Texas, officers and bringing them into Oklahoma. One of the of ficers was shoved through a show case and injured during a scuffle, thus making the death penalty applicable. The case was carried through all channels of appeal, twice reaching the United States Supreme Court, and Gooch was hopeful until late yester day, when President Roosevelt de clined to intercede for the second time, saying: ‘‘Use of the executive power to modify the sentence imposed would render nugatory a law carefully con sidered by the Congress and designed to meet a national need,” Labor Troubles Looming, Is Warning From Bab son Deplores Supreme Court’s Minimum Wage Law Deci sion and Says It Is Coming, Regardless; Employers’ Market for Labor Is Now on the Wane BY ROGER w. BABSON, Copyright 1936, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Albany, New York, June 19. The great battle between laissez-faire cap italism and regimented industry burst out anew when the Supreme Court scuttled New York State’s minimum wage law. The Republican nominee, Alfred M. Landon, has already clearly stated his position thereon. Hence, the issue is by no means forgotten even though it was quickly crowded off the front pages.

Goals vs. Methods I have often criticized Congress and state governments in their recent mad desire to pass unsound “social” legis lation regardless of how hastily it was drawn.

Four Labor leaders who called the cabinet recommendation “the great betrayal” of the League of Nations, led a movement for a nationwide series of campaign meetings. Their plan of opposition pointing toward a parliamentary censure de bate Tuesday, followed the same lines as the public storm created against the Hoare-Laval proposal to end the Italo-Ethiopian war. At the head of the parade of pro testers was Clement Atlee, House of Commons Labor leader, who has dig nified his intention to ask a vote of criticism against Prime Minister Stan ley Baldwin’s government.

Futures On Cotton Rise Beyond 12c New York, June 19. —(AP) —Cotton futures crashed over the 12-cent line today for the first time in eight months on rumors in trade quarters that the Government Producers Pool had finished its liquidation. Contracts closed with net gains of 20 cents to $1.15 a bale, with cotton deliverable in July ending at 12.13 cents a pound. A week ago it was announced that the government still held 244,000 scales of July for delivery in the local mar ket. This cotton has been coming out steadily and rapidly during the past week, with an urgent demand from trade shorts. During the process the July price advanced over $1.50 a bale, selling this morning at 12.04 cents a pound, com pared with 11.70 cents on Friday of last week. The strength in the market was be lieved to reflect a scarcity of spot cotton to fill the rapidly expanding demand, prompted by the increased activity in the textile markets. OUR WEATHER MAN FOR NORTH CAROLINA. Partly cloudy, possibly scatter ed showers in -east portion tonight and Saturday; slightly warmer in south portion tonight. U. S. ACTS IN ARKANSAS FLOGGINGS At the direction of President Roosevelt the U. S. department of justice is investigating the flogging of a 29-year-old Memphis, Tenn., woman and a Little Rock, Ark., minister. The woman, Miss Willie Sue Blagder*, shown above displaying a bruise on her leg and also in another photo, and the minister, the Rev. Ciaude C. Williams, 41, also shown, charge that a band of six white men beat them near Earle, Ark., when they went there to assist the Southern Tenant Farmers' union in conducting a funeral for a Negro sharecropper, allegedly beaten to death by an unknown band of men. The presi dent acted upon receipt of a message from Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for president, who charged a reign of terrorism had been instituted in Arkansas cotton fields against sharecroppers and ten r it formers and their sympathizers.

U Sre™ented Pacifists and Militarists, Meanwhile, Argue Which Is Safer Course By CHARLES P.

The United States is scheduled to spend more during the 1936-’37 fiscal year on the development of these ser vices than ever we spent before in peace lime. A billion! Strictly speaking, the total is a trifle higher than that, by about 100 million dollars, which, however, is a picayunish sum in this day of 10-fig ure reckonings. Besides, the odd 100 millions are for what are described as non-military purposes. Now is that or isn’t it at warlike program? TWO CONTENTIONS Pacifistic folk say that it is.

The Re publican platform probably will prove an embarrassment to Governor Lan don. The Democratic platform has (been flung at President Roosevelt again and again—but it won’t be after Phil adelphia. The President will write his own platform there. You see, platforms are written prior to the nomination of a man—if he is not re-running for office. The Old Guard of the Democrats shaped the 1932 Democratic platform in Chicago. The Old Guard of the Republicans shaped the 1936 Republican platform in Cleveland. No sooner had it been made public than the presidential nominee-to-be wired to the convention repudiating two sections —one section inserted the liberals (under Borah) the other by the reactionaries. As it is, the platform draws fire from organized farmers and organi zed Workers. FARMERS AND WORKERS Organized farmers’ opinion of the (Continued on Page Two.)

Washington, June 19. (AP) A newly shaped tax plan designed to raise $800,000,000 through penalty taxes on undivided corporation pro fits and other maor proyisions of the revenue structure aroused emphatic dissent among some senators today, but administration leaders said it would go through Congress Saturday night. They expected that President Roose velt would welcome the plan, which was agreed upon in a Senate-House conference last night. It goes far to meet his demands for stiff taxes to induce corporations to distribute more income to stockholders, and for ad ditional taxation on dividends. The conference agreement must now be ratified by both chambers. It is generally expected to encounter no serious trouble in the House, tout some Senate foes of the bill went so far to day as to say privately that nearly half of the membership of that body already has determined to vote against it. No filibuster was predicted however, and administration leaders hoped to pass the bill in time to ad journ Congress late Saturday night. Runaway Steamer From England Now Held In Captivity Georgetown, British Guina, June 19. —(AP)—The British government S. S. Pomeroon forcibly captured today a vessel believed to be the runaway Biitish trawler Girl Pat. The vessel taken had been harbor ing outside the three-mile limit for several days. A conference called by Governor Sir Geoffrey Northcote last night decid ed to ask London for instructions and it was understood the capture was in accordance with London’s reply. Police officials reported the craft answered descriptions of the Girl Pat, whose crew ran away with her from Grimsby, England, early in April, pre sumably on a search for pirates’ treasure. The captured craft was without fuel but her crew fought off the govern ment ship’s efforts to capture her for two and a half hours, maneuvering by sail. The Pomeroon circled about the trawler and rammed her once. Finally the battered little boat, which au thorities believed to have crossed the Atlantic and to have been at sea near ly three months, gave up the .fight and allowed a tow line to be run aboard. The crew was placed under arrest.

Leaders of the New Deal were closeted in Washington drawing up suggested statements of policy on such controversial issues as farm aid, money and relief.
