O. P. Nominee Says at His Birthplace West Middlesex, Pa., Aug. 22 (AP) - Governor Alf M. Landon today as sort'd the presidential campaign pre sented "a choice between the pig in the poke politics” of the New Deal, and American “freedom of enter prise.” In his first major eastern address, th" Republican nominee pledged him self, "so far as ii lies within my pow er \ 0 protect for America her heri tor. of freedom an dopportunity." The Kansan spoke from a platform a mile from the village of West Mid dlesex. where he was born almost 49 years ago. He chose for his topic, •‘•The American Way of Life.” • The word ‘American’ x x x x means an attitude of heart and mind,” Lan don said, “an outlook on life. It means not only deep love of liberty and .justice, but courage to face the dangers and responsibilities that go with liberty. "This American way of life is being challenged. We are told that it does not meet modern requrements. Some are trying to supplant our institu tions by others from abroad.” “Let us not surrender to any such counsel of despair,” the candidate said "Let us not abandon our determina tion to win security and abundance without sacrificing any of our pre cious heritage of freedom.” "The remedy offered is that the Federal government shall restrict pro duction, dole out jobs and parcel out business opportunities. This argu ment. instead of being progressive, is 40 years behind the times.” Plotters On Soviets Are Losing Hope Ramifications of Plot Against Stalin Reach Other High Red Officials Moscow, Aug. 22. —(AP) —'Several of the 16 confessed conspirators in a plot to overthrow the Soviet regime and assassinate Dictator Josef Stalin sob bed as Prosecutor Andrey J.

Nettles upheld it as dovetail ing with every clue as argu ments were completed in the Negro hall boy’s murder trial. Nettles, the last speaker, made an impassianed appeal for infliction of the death penalty on the 22-year-old Negro defendant. “What would you have done if a child of yours had been killed by a brute like this?” the solicitor asked the jury in closing arguments the charge that the Negro killed He'Fen Clevenger in her hotel room early in the morning of July 16. The case will go to the jury after the judge’s 'charge this afternoon. Pointing out that under the State law Moore was either guilty of first degree murder or not guilty at all, Nettles said he did not base his ap peal on the defendant’s color, hut add ed: “But just think, gentlemen, if it had been your daughter in that ho tel room in the middle of the night when that big black man came in.” Defense counsel in their arguments Continued on Page Five.) stores to retain the revenue from these stores for county purposes, also to permit any additional counties which want liquor stores to have them if a majority of the voters so desire, a good many observers are confident if. will set up a single State board to purchase the liquor and make uniferm regulations and abolish all the courty boards.

Outlook For State Crops Is Best Yet Drought Definitely Broken in West and Exists Only in Rare Spots Dolly Dlapntch Unreal., In The *tr Wnlie* Kotei, Hr J. O. BA SKERVILI- Raleigh, Aug. 22.—The drought which prevailed in the western part of North Carolina for several months and which did serious damage to crops, is definitely broken and indi cations now point to fairly good yields even in the drought sections, according to a report on crop condi tions in the State just sent to the Department of Agriculture in Wash ington by Frank Parker, chief statis tician of the State-Federal Crop Re porting Service. Stands of cotton and corn are still irregular in the counties where the drought was most pro nounced, but with a late fall good yields are in prospect. “Prospects are very bright for corn, peanuts, late hay and pasture and for fruit left on trees,” the report says. “Except in very limited spots, rain fall has been plentiful recently and showers are continuing at present. Pastures have improved wonderfully with August rains and even in the drought areas, conditions are rapidly approaching normal. “The water supply is now plentiful In all areas, and, with continued fa vorable seasons, no further lack of water is anticipated. In some of the eastern counties, rains have ,been ex cessive hut not particularly disas trous.” The only part of the State where there is even a possibility of a feed shortage for livestock is in a few western counties where the most se rious drought conditions prevailed, Parker said. But even there prospects are good in the lowland areas. The upland pastures are still decidedly backward, their only hope for recov ery being a favorable fall.

By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Aug. 22.—What does the future hold for the more freak ish of the outstanding personalities developed by the current presidential campaign? When the campaign has ended will these peculiar folk sink back into in conspicuity or will some of them, at least, remain indefinitely in the na tional foreground? Gov. Alf M. Landon, of course, is not one of the number. Nor President Roosevelt. They are the normal anta gonists. Norman Thomas isn’t a freak either. Nor is Earl Browder. Browder, in particular, decidedly is a radical, but he has an understandable program. His future and Thomas’ are calcul able. They will be licked overwhelm ingly at the polls, and they expect to be.

President Waiting For Reaction To His Plans To Delay His Campaign Observers Wonder If He Can Wait Until October To Make Political Drive While Landon Hammers Away at New Deal; Drought Trip Starts Tuesday Hyde Park, N. Y., Aug. 22.—(AP)— President Roosevelt today surveyed the reaction to his “no political speeches before October” statement while a debate began among cam paign observers here whether he could wait that long, while Governor Alf M. Landon hammers away at the New Deal. As his Republican opponent for the presidency sped eastward to speak in Pennsylvania, the President told his press conference that the way things looked now he planned no political speeches before the month preceding election. His 12-day drought trip beginning Tuesday night, on which he will meet Governor Landon at Des Moines, lowa, September 1, will be free from Quick Pace Is Resumed In Industry New York, Aug. 22.—(AP)—Recov ering from last week’s setback, the tempo of industry was moved up to within a fraction of the peak touched two weeks ago. The Associated Press index of in dustrial activity closed this week at 95.7 percent of the 1929-30 average, compared with 95.1 (revised) last week, and 73.7 in the same period a year ago. Automobile output was stepped up sharply. Steel mill operations continued to move ahead in the wake of an early July dip, as miscellaneous takings of all kinds remained SLt a high level. The slight decline in cotton manu facturing activity is held insignificant by the trade. They point to the fact that looms have recently been turn ing out goods at the fastest sustain ed clip since the summer of 1933, above the 1929 rate. Electric power production rose as heat again swept many sections of the country, boosting current used. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. politics, the President reiterated. He added his addresses at a “green pas tures” rally at Charlotte, N. C., Sep tember 10, at the world power confer ence September 11, and at the Har vard tercentenary September 18 also would have no bearing on his bid for a second term. Shortly after his press conference, the President received reports on the political outlook from James A. Far ley chairman of the Democratic Na tional Committee. Farley had no comment on the President’s decision to defer his per sonal campaign drive until October, but said once the chief executive started 9n the campaign firing line, he most likely would go to the Pacific coast. wholesalefiriT IN OFFICES OF RA New Resettlement Chief for State Admits Ineffi ciency Exists Dally Dispatch Bnreaa, In The Sir Walter Hote., By J. C. BA SKERVILI, Raleigh, Aug. 22. —Regional Director George S. Mitchell of the Resettle ment Administration, frankly admits that he has found some inefficiency in the organization here, also that some of the groundwork for eliminat ing this inefficiency was laid before he arrived here this week, succeed ing Homer H. B. Mask, who was sud denly fired last week by Resettlement Administration Rexford G. Tugwell. More than 100 employes of Resettle ment have already been dropped so far this week, including 50 of the 54 employed in the office of the State director, while others are scheduled to follow soon.
