Lindbergh Story Rated As More Of Goebbel's Work By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington. Aug. iti.—A political third party is forming in the Unit ed States, according to German newspapers, and, say these same publications. Col. Charles A. Lind bergh is to be its presidential nomi nee. The yarn made its initial appear ance, Berlin dispatches relate, the day after the colonel broadcast his radio speech urging strict neutiality upon us as 'o the Kuropean conflict, accusing domestic and foreign "in terests" of trying to lead us into the struggle and insisting that we can live on s*ood terms with the Nazis if they win. It set*f- that the story appeared, under a New York claie line, imply ing that it was cabled across from our side of the Atlantic, though of course it's possible that Dr. Joseph Goebbels cooked it up right in Ger many. Though the Germans doubtless would be glad to think that Lindv's talk made a tremendous hit with Americans, yet it's hard to believe that they really swallow the report of his prospective nomination for the White House. Quite regardless of his speech, one would think they'd real ize that there are several other rein sons why he isn't much of a presi dential possibility. In congress even the isolationist group rather wishes that Charley hadn't made that address. Its mem bers are afraid he made their a use ridiculous, perhaps not altogether by the views he expressed, but on ac count of what they speak of his "swell headedness" in setting him self up as an authority on stattsiuan ship and diplomacy. Some comment is to be heard to the effect Jiuit he actually is ambitious to break into high-up politics, maybe recalling that his father was in the house of. repre sentatives where, by the way, a good many of his associates referred to him as at least eccentric. waiiace anu «»»;» The German presidential story is somewhat on a par with one recent ly circulated (but this latter one was too obviously a joke \> be taken seriously even by a Nazi) in connec tion with Democratic Vice Presiden tial Nominee Henry A. Wallace's prowess as a boomerang thrower. Boomerang throwing, as already has been widely advertised, is Henry's pet hobby. Not long ago he took a day off to indulge in his favorite sport and sev eral cameramen accompanied him to shoot pictures of the performance, j Well, Henry hurled formidably, but unfortunately his boomerang, curv ing backward in its flight, hit one of the photographers, knocked him cold, and split open his scalp to such an extent that a number of stitches had to be taken in it. Thereupon Washington pressmen proclaimed extensively the supposed news that our preparedness commis sion had drafted the vice presiden tial aspirant to head a boomerang corps, for inclusion in our national defense organization. It wasn't printed, like the Lindv story, but it got to Henry and they say it bothered him considerably, as too frivolous to help his candidacy. Willkie a Tammanyite. All the jokes aren't on Democratic candidates, though. The Democrats are making the most of the discovery that Wendell Willkie's a Tammanyite. Republican headquarters doesn't like it a bit. Of course, everyone knew that the G. O. R nominee was a Democrat until quite recently, but that he once actually joined the New York Tiger family and still belongs to it (unless he automatically drop ped out of it by becoming a Repub lican) was a new piece of informa tion. For one thing, it's been Republi can policy to play Willkie down, somewhat, as a New Yorker, and play him up as a Hoosier, on the theory that he'll get more votes out m as to ishness. isnm-ss.. Moreover, the Republicans thought they hud some good aimimnition in the fact that the Democrats chose as their national chairman Kd Flynn «>!' the Bronx, a "metropolitan boss." | Nevertheless he did right Tammany, ! as an undesirable sort of a political organization and now it's revealed that Wendell befonged to it.

Stiff Fight In Africa (Continuer From Page One) Italian motor transports and troops were "successfully bombed and ma chine gunned." French crews operating with the RAF scouted the Italians, the com munique said, and machine gunned their lorries. Research On Labor Asked (Continued From Paeo One) ganized labor was lucky to escape without losing some of the gains it has already scored in North Caro lina. In the forefront of opposition were the hotel-cafe and laundry-dry cleaning industries, with others aid ing and abetting more or less from the background. The State Federation of Labor (AFL-affiliate) has not given up hope of getting a wage-hour law through at the coming session, how ever. and the CIO organization in North Carolina will doubtless fight I even more vigorously (though prob ably less effectively) for the same re sult. The 1939 wage-hour fight has been carried over into the race for speak ership of the 1941 House, with Odus Mull an avowed candidate, the chief target of the Labor forces which re gard the Cleveland county legisla tor as the very personification of in dustrial opposition to Labor. Two other candidates, George Uzzell of Salisbury and James B. Vogler of Mecklenburg, are regarded as favor able to Labor. The resolution adopted by the Wage-Hour commission follows: "Whereas the Commission believes that its judgment should be based upon accurate and comprehensive data concerning the extent to which wage and hour legislation would af fect the employed personnel and the employers of North Carolina: "And that a clear picture of the at tempt to fashion and enact legisla tion during the General Assembly of 1939 would be helplul in reflecting the viewpoint of the opposition to such measures as were proposed; "And that Ihese data which are pertinent not only to judgment but to defense of any recommendation which the Commission might make, require very prompt and earnest re search: "Therefore, but it resolved that the Commission authorize the employ ment of a director of this research, and request the Governor to make available from the emergency fund sufficient moneys, in addition to the other necessary expenses of the Com mission, to^ay this employee, and the departments of the State Govern ment be instructed to cooperate with the Commission's representative in gathering the information needed."

By NEWMAN CAMPBELL. (The Internatio lal Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Aug. 18 is Psalm 23, the Golden Text being Psalm 23:1, "Jehovah is my shep herd: I shall not want.") The Psalm which is the subject of today's lesson is short, but it is pro bably the best known and loved of all the psalms. It has no date. Some put it early in David's life, some place it late. It might have been writ ten about 1040 B. C. David lived through most of the 11th century. Let us read it over and then talk about it. "Jehovah is my shepherd: I shall not want He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of right eousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the val ley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me: Thy rod and Thy staff, they com fort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil: My cup runneth over Surely goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever." "Jehovah is my shepherd." The Jews were a pastoral people, and shepherds guarded their flocks with their lives if necessary. Therefore, there was no Higher conception of tender care and watchfulness over those in his charge, than that of the shepherd and his flock. A shepherd saw that his charges had the best of pasture available, that they had wa ter, that they had a place to rest; and if one was lost, the shepherd sought for it until it was found and restor ed to the flock. e xrusi III uic lyuiu. Thus does Jehovah watch over His people. If we but trust in Him, we, too. shall be taken care of—led to green pastures beside still waters, our souls restored when they are weary. We shall be led into paths of righteousness—not wickedness. And even if we are cop>pelled to walk "through the valley of the shadow of death"—which we all must do some time in our lives—we should "fear no eveil," for our God is with us; His rod and His staff shall com fort us—again symbols of the shep herd, for each shepherd carries a staff to lean upon and to touch the sheep with, and a rod with which he could strike down a wild beast that threatened his sheep. . "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies." Wo all l.r.vc enemies—evil thoughts) that would lead us astray: tempta tions of many kinds that beset us and to which we may give way. But if we turn to Jehovah, our Shepherd we will not turn from the paths of righteousness, but feast in the pre sence of these same enemies, and grow strong to withstand all such assaults. Thou anointest my J103" with oil, my cup runneth over." Anointing the head of a guest with sweet-smelling oil was an old Orien tal custom. Do you remember when the woman anointed Jesus' head with precious ointment in the house ol Simon? Jesus' host expostulated and Jesus rebuked him, saying. "My head with oil thou didst not anoint." Simon had not treated the Lord a.c an honored guest, and had no right to reprove the woman who recognized her Savior. Our cup of joy, therefore, is run ning over, because of our sureties.* of God's tender care. And last, we must have faith thai we shall be taken care of in the fu ture—no matter what happens, "Surely goodness and loving kind ness shall follow me all the days ol my life; and I shall dwell in the house of Jehov;ij2_ forever." How many ol us can rely con fidently on this promise in these troubled times? Surely the Lord has not failed us. We can slill trust in Him and be serene even as •'the old oider changcth." and we fear for the future of thousands of the human race. Surely we can have faith that we shall "dwell in the house of Je hovah forever." Celebrates Birthday Here is a recent photograph of Dr. Henry Horace Williams, widely known philosopher of the University ofNorth Carolina, who celebrates his 82nd birthday today quitely at his home in Chapel Hill. If they follow the custom of long standing, hundreds of his former students will call to offer their felic itations or send messages. Dr. Williams has been a member of the University faculty for 50 years and has exerted a profound influence on generations of Carolina students. Summary Of j Market News Raleigh, Aug. 16.—Feed markets declined further during the week ending August 13, influenced prin cipally by continued slow demand from feeders and feed manufactures. The index number of wholesale feed prices declined about 2 1-2 points to 102.1 compared with 104.6 for the previous week and 92.6 for the cor responding week last year. Light of ferings of whcatfeeds for immediate shipments helped maintain the fairly steady prices for bran and middlings at central western markets. Oilseed cake and meal were in plentiful sup ply with deferred deliveries at liberal discounts under spot prices. Corn feeds were mostly steady and in am ple supply Rains have fallen during the past week or ten days over the peanut belt of both Virginia and North Caro- j Una, and farmers advise that it came just at the right time to keep the crop growing in fine shape. The August 9 crop report, reflecting con ditions as of August 1, indicates a crop in Virginia and North Carolina this year of nearly 500,000,000 pounds, compared with 480,000,000 pounds last year. The acreage to be picked and threshed has gone up only slightly in both states. For the country as a whole, however, the acreage for the United States 1,955. 000 is the largest of record, and if the crop for the country, indicated on August 1 as 1,522,000,000 pounds, is actually harvested it will set a new production record for the United States. Market prices for both farm ers stock and shelled and cleaned goods show little change. For the best Jumbos the delivered price is 4 1-4 to 4.40 cents per pound, and for best bunch 3 3-4 to 3.85 cents per pound.
