Stork Derby Mother Won *t Share Wealth Toronto, Canada, Oct. 8. —(AP) A one-mother revolt against a share-the wealth plan and the possibility a prize of $775,000 may be at stake sent the celebrated Toronto stork derby into a feverish last lap today. Mrs. Matthew Kenney, claiming the birth of 12 children in the ten-year derby, which ends October 31, was confident she couid not be beaten. She spurned a plan by a group of contestants headed by Mrs. Grace Bagnato, who is expecting her tenth eligible child “almost any minute, for the mothers to “get together and share the money.” 4 Said Mrs. Kenny, seven of whose 12 eligible children are living: "We’ve had lots of offers of money to sign contracts and agreements. Why should I do that? Lots of wo men might have had nine or ten babies in ten years, but 12 that e pretty good, isn’t it?” Under the terms of the will of Charles Vance Miller, lawyer and sportsmen, the residue of his estate \ Continued on Page Two.) 1936 Crop Os Cotton Is Larger Washington, Oct.

B.—ls the 1937 Gen eral Assembly does not vote to es tablish a four year medical school as a part of the University of North Carolina, with the last two years lo cated in Raleigh, there are indica tions that Wake Forest College may establish a four-year school as a pri vate venture, according to reports current here. Those familiar with the situation maintain that Wake Forest could establish a four-year school and maintain the last two years of this school in Raleigh almost entirely from tuition fees, provided the doc tors here would cooperate by acting as instructors and -by opening all the hospitals here to the students in the school. It is pointed out that at the present time several Raleigh doctors are acting as instructors in the two year medical school at Wake Forest, for the most part donating their ser vices and some believe that if Wake Forest should decide to add another two years to the school and locate it in Raleigh, it would not be difficult to find enough additional doctors to act as instructors. It is regarded a* certain, however, that an effort will be made in the Continued on Page Two.) SALES RECORD SET BY GENERAL MOTORS New York.

B.—(AP)—Day ton Dean, confessed “trigger man” in the Black Legion murder of Charles A. Poole, last May 12, wa s sentenced today by Circuit Judge Joseph A. Moynihan to life imprisonment in the State Prison of southern Michigan. Dean, who pleaded guilty to a mur der charge and testified for the State when eleven other Black Legion men were convicted last week on murder charges, told Judge Moynihan: “I m glad it’s over. I hope no one else gets in the same jam. I’m glad also that the organization was broken up.” Judge Moynihan announced he would pronounce mandatory life sen tences tomorrow on the seven de fendants convicted of first degree EHRINGHAUS YERY I Farley Prizes His Campaign ing Ability by Sending Him, East, West Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. UASKERVILI, Raleigh, Oct. 8. —The selection of Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus by the Democratic National Committee as one of its chief campaigners in Ohio and Pennsylvania, regarded as two of the most doubtful states in the pre sent Presidential campaign, is regard ed here as being and instinct tribute both to the democracy of Governor Ehringhaus and his ability as a speaker. There have been indications for some time that Chairman Jim Farley of the National Democratic Committee thought highly of Gover nor Ehringhaus as a speaker for the Democratic party, inasmuch as on several occasions he has called on the governor to address important gather ings in other states. But now the speaker’s bureau of the Democratic National Committee has notified Gov ernor Ehringhaus that they want him to make speeches for President Roose velt and the Democratic party in Ohio and Pennsylvania from October 19 to October 30, inclusive. Those who know Governor Ehring haus and have heard him speak, know that he makes a very logical and con vincing speech with a smoothness and ease that makes him very effective. And while his style and diction are as smooth as velvet and as soft as silk, he packs a wallop like a sledge hammer when he starts driving his points home, his friends maintain. It was this unusual style combined with the wallop at the end which first at tracted the attention of National Dem ocratic leaders, especially Jim Far ley, and led to their drafting of him as one of thir front lin campaignrs. Still another thing which attracted the attention of the National Demo cratic Committee was the fact that Ehringhaus was a Democratic gover- Continued on Page Two.)

Four other men convicted of mur der in the second degree will be sen tenced Saturday, the judge said. Reviewing briefly the shooting of Poole, a young WPA worker, and tes timony that Black Legion men were incited against him by false gossip that he beat his wife, Judge Moyni han said: “It is a sad commentary an our form of civilization. It would be my wish that the law permitted a more severe sentence for you and some of the other defendants. I can only sen tence you to spend the balance of your life in the State Prison of south ern Michigan at hard labor and solitary confinement. “Charles Poole was a martyr to the cause of civil and religious liberties.” SMITH POOR ASSET FOR GOY’R LANDON Reveals Himself As Too Much of “Sorehead” To Carry Much Weight By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Oct. 8. —Politicians on both sides are wondering how much of an asset A1 Smith will prove to be to Governor Landon. The guess one hears oftenest is that his value will not be considerable. The talking A1 has done thus far is criticized by Republicans as well as New Dealers, merely as advertis ing the 1928 Democrat as a “sore head” —a poor loser. Many, even of his old friends, are pained, not only by what he says, but also because of the tone in which he says it. For example, he complains that President Roosevelt, once in the White House, did not ask his advice as frequently as A1 thinks he ought to have done. Fault finders cannot see this as much of a pro-Landon argument.
