President Roosevelt Pays North Carolina First Visit 1 Shower fails to dampen presidential enthusi asm; Sun comes out and rainbow appears as he reaches stadium; Address throng of 25, 000. By Charles J. Parker in News and I Observer. Charlotte, Sept. 10.?President Roosevelt's reputation as a rainmaker, I accounted as his phenomenal goodl fortune on his tour through thel Western drought area, worked the I other way today. He arrived here just in time to take a wetting along! with more than 25,000 persons as-1 sembled for the seven state "Green I Pasture" rally. But at that, the President's good! fortune with the elements did not en-j tirely desert him. Riding in his open! car( he was wet by the shower that! had threatened for two hours and! broke just as he approached; but he had barely reached the stand in front! of the speaker's pavilion before the sun burst through the clouds and a j rainbow arched the eastern skies directly in front of him. The multitude, good natured after the delay of more than an hour and the wetting, sensed something unus ual when it saw Governor Ehringhaus who met the President in Tennessee yesterday and motored through the state with him today, direct the Pre sident's attention to the rainbow. Momentarily, thousands of heads turned to glimpse the rainbow, even before the thunderous ovation for the fifth President to visit Charlotte this century had subsided. Delightful Days. "I notice that the rainbow shines in the sky, and it is a fitting climax to two of the most delightful days i have ever spent in my life," declared the President, speaking informally before beginning his prepared address which symbolized the title of the rally "Green -Pastures." It was almost exactly 6 o'clock when the President arrived. Some of the crowd had been waiting for him in the stadium since 10 this morning. They had brought their lunches, and through the broiling sun that beat down earlier in the day, the threat of rain later, and the rain and rainbow, they waited the first offical visit of President Roosevelt to the State since his election. There were more women in the vast audience than men, and child ren were in the throng by thousands. Two hours before the President ar rived, choicer seats in the unreserved j sections were taken; and when he ar-! rived, all but the remote seats were filled; and had not thousands chosen to stand to get a closer glimpse of the Chief Executive, they, too, would have been filled. 3imuiiajitrv?us Due to the simultaneous arrival of the President and the rain, some con fusion was apparent in the crowd as the program was opened with the in vocation by the Rev. Luther Little, of Charlotte; and many were not aware that a prayer was being offer ed until the minister had concluded. But the crowd listened in attentive silence for the introduction by Gen eral Chairman Haywood Robbins of Mayor Ben E. Douglass of Charlotte, who in turn presented Governor Ehringhaus. Chairman Robbins spoke exactly 40 seconds, and Mayor Douglass took exactly the same time to present the Governor, who took only one minute and four seconds to present the Pre sident in these words. Short and Snappy. "Voicing as I know I do, their un bounded admiration and affection, I am happy to a grateful and gracious people the Gideon of Democracy, who worthily wears its shield and buckler, and valiantly wields the shining sword of its consecrated service,? our leader, our captain courageous, our present and our next President." The President spoke 29 minutes. Barely an hour after he entered the stadium, he was whisked away again by a shrieking police patrol to the Southern Railway station to be gin the trip homeward. After he was gone, the struggle of 25,000 to leave the same place at the same time began?a process that the most efficient policing can ex pedite just so much. And the crowd, mostly still wet, but happy over hav ing seen and heard the President, be gan the slow business of exodus through Charlotte, thronged with visitors and political nobles from the two Carolina*, Virginia, Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee and Florida. The city, decorated with more bunting than has been displayed in may a day, counted the "Green Pastures" rally a success. Although the Freadeafs address was characterised as aen-poBtieal, the fathering itself distinctly waa not. It waa Halhiiiiissfljillj^ part but, on the part of the vas* majority ate was present, but did not respondl to numerous calls for a speech. . In this respect, Governors Dave Sholtz of Florida and Olin Johnson of South Carolina were the only gov ernors to oblige with trips to the mic rophones. Between their talks, the Fort Bragg band and the Charlotte high school band entertained the | crowd. Although taking no part in the pro ceedings, ex-Governor 0. Max Gard ner was a conspicuous figure here; and-with his brother-in-law, Gover nor Hoey, received tumultuous ova tions as they entered the banquet hall of the Hotel Charlotte for the lunch eon that preceeded the events at the stadium. The luncheon, presided over by ex Senator Cameron Morrison of Char lotte. was distinctly political, and it offered many evidences of healing wounds of the late primary.

ROOSEVELT IN THE WEST. HEARST AS A FACTOR. POLLS AND STRAW VOTES. NEW DEAL IN THE SOUTH. CONGRESS FACES WORK. By Hugo Sims, Washington Correspondent Completing his first campaign tour of the East, Governor Landon is pre paring to take the road again this month for a trip tentatively expected to include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wis consin, Minnesota and Missouri. In addition, his headquarters indicate that a second eastern swing will be made during the latter half of Oct ober, with speaking engagements at the principal cities and a wind-up rally in New York City. It is possi ble that the Republican nominee will also swing to the Pacific Coast before closing his campaign. In what many commentators con sider the most important speech yet made by Governor Landon, the Kan san attacked the fiscal policies of the Roosevelt Administration, charging waste and extravagance and laying down certain fundamental principles of government finance. He insisted that the government must guard and preserve its source of income, get a dollar's worth for every dollar spent, avoid the habit of spending more than it receives and prepare for a rainy day. Particularly assailing the Admin istration-sponsored tax on undistri buted corporation earnings, Mr. Lan don termed it the "most cockeyed piece of legislation ever imposed in a modern country" and pledged him self to its repeal. The legislative tax provides, among other things, for surtaxes on the undistributed net in come of corporations ranging from 1 seven to twenty-seven per cent, de pending on the amount not passed ! out to stockholders in dividends. While the Republican nominee was i in the East, President Roosevelt con- 1 tinued his tour of the Great Plains ^ States, "to see with my own eyes," what the drought has done. Although the President insisted that it was not a political journey, the trip undoubt edly possessed political value. The highlight, of course, was the meeting ' with the gr9up of governors, includ ing Alf M. Landon, of Kansas, to 1 discuss the drought problem. The ? meeting, originally scheduled early 1 last week was postponed when the ' President altered his plans in order ' to attend the funeral of Secretary of ^ War George H. Dern, in Salt Lake City. The declaration of Governor Landon 1 decrying laws which require teachers 1 to take loyalty oaths made at Chau tauqua, New York, attracted addit- 1 ional significance when Secretary Ickes, in a radio speech, read court documents which, he said, showed 1 that Mr. Hearst was the "boss" of ? the Republican Party and that Mr. 1 Landon was his candidate. The point { was made that the passage of laws 1 requiring teachers to take loyalty oaths has been a pet project of the Hearst newspapers and the Landon ] statement was held up to prove his independence of the Hearst control. j 1 One of the Hearst papers subse quently referred to the Governor's ' statement as "a regrettable depart- 1 ure from the high plane of true 1 Americanism." While Governor Lan don made no mention of Mr. Hearst ' Secretary Ickes read from the record 1 of a lawsuit now pending in Chicago, ' showing that when George F. Harding 1 Republican National Chairman from ' Illinois, visited Mr. Hearst in Cali- . fornia last June, he told the publisher that Governor Landon should not ' make many speeches in the campaign and later repeated the advice in a letter to Mr. Hearst, who promised to pass the suggestion on to the Re publican nominee. In a memorandum to'Harding, Mr. Hearst pointed out that the Democrats "have nothing to criticize Governor; Landon about" but added that 'too many speeches may give the Democrats their eagerly wanted opportunity." A ! Readers of ttys column are prob ably interested in, the outcomes of the various polls of public sentiment now being conducted. It is our intention, from week to week, to call attention to as many as are available. Recently the Institute of- Public Opinion at tempted to guage the shifting of 1932 voters tmd came to the conclusion that the Netf Deal has lost about 4,500,000 of its 1982 voters but has gained about 2,000,TKX) of those who favored the Hoever*Curtis ticket four years ago. In other words, 29 per cent of the Roosevelt voters have deserted and thirteen per cent of 1982 Repub lican voters are now supporting the New DeaL According to the answers rjiven on the ballots in the poll 'ex -:,h. son for the shift of New Deal sup porters. The same Institute noted a slight shift of votes to Roosevelt in mid August. Previously, the Institute indicated that Governor Landon, on August 9th, would have had an Elec toral College majority of 21, although running nearly five per cent behind the President in popular votes. How ever, the results on August 23rd showed that the President would have a majority of 19 as well as a majority of the popular vote. The Institute listed New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan as crucial states, saying that Landon is likely to be defeated if he drops any one of them. Four of them are "for Landon," ac cording to the poll but Michigan has shifted to the New Deal column. Efforts to find out how the farm ers are going to vote are being made by The Farm Journal, published at Philadelphia, The American Press and a number of small town newspapers and by another group of papers in the agricultural area. The Farm Journal's survey gave Landon 51.8, Roosevelt 41.7 and Representative Lemke 5.9 per cent, of the farm vote. The early returns of The American Press straw vote gave Landon 50.8, Roosevelt 42.3 and Lemke 4.7 per cent of 74,703 votes, representing only eighteen states. Subsequent figures from this poll, when it includes a more representa tive total, will be interesting. Results may be compared with a poll being conducted by a group of newspapers associated with the Western News paper Union, a syndicate serving thousands of small town papers, with a service of printed newspaper pages. The idea that effective opposition to the Roosevelt Administration ex isted in the South has been largely dissipated by the results of recent primaries, which are equivalent to elections. Four of the New Deal's leaders have faced primary opposition and each have won with ample votes to spare. The defeat of any one of these men would have been a blow to the Roosevelt prestige, because each holds a position of leadership in Con gress. They included: (1) Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, New Deal leader of the Senate, whose primary vote was greater than that of his op ponents combined; (2) Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who led his opponent, a former Governor backed by Senator Bilbo, by more than two-to-one; (3) Senator James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, who won against two New Deal critics by a vote of seven-to-one; and, (4) Re presentative Sam Rayburn, of Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Interstate Commerce, who beat down his opposition with ease. The Congress to be elected in Nov ember will face important issues as soon as it convenes in January. Many emergency powers granted to Presi dent Roosevelt lapse unless renewed. On January 30 the President's power to fix the gold content of the dollar between fifty and sixty per cent of its former amount will vanish unless renewed by congress. Already Mr. Roosevelt has reduced the content to about sixty per cent of the former weight. On the same day, the Presi dent's power to fix the weight of the silver dollar and its relation to the gold dollar will likewise expire and the stabilization fund, established aut of the $2,000,000,000 "profit" on devaluation, will pass into the Treas ury's general balance. The fund is now carried on the Treasury's bal ance sheets at $1,800,000,000, leaving the presumption that $200,000,000 has been used in the international exchange market. In executing the silver policy of Congress, the Presi dent has purchased about $800,000, 000 worth of the metal since 1934. I The Reconstruction Finance Cor poration, established by President Hoover, will cease business on Feb ruary 1st, unless the Congress ex tends its existence. The CCC, one of the Presiddent's most cherished relief measures, has money for operation until next March 31. The existing neutrality Act is effective until May 1st and the Trade Agreements Act, permitting the President to negotiate reciprocal agreements with foreign countries and to lower or increase existing tariffs up to fifty per cent, will expire on June 12. In addition, the existing tax structure is schedul ed for general review although the Administration insists that existing levies will not be increased and new ones will not be added. * MORE WHISKEY DRUNK According to D.

The other murder count charged the woman with slaying Howard Godwin, who, it as believed, perished in the flames of the burning house. Godin was the woman's half-brother. A skull was all that remained in the ashes of the home. . m1 11 ' ' ? ??*--- _-x mi ine district solicitor set tnurauay morning for the trial. The question of the identity of the skull found on the morning of Jury 7, resulted in the solicitor's sending the two murd'.r counts before the grand jury. A number of witnesses appeared before the grand jury in the case to day, including H. G. Howe, Jr., of a local undertaking establishment, who recently sent the death certifi cate to Raleigh with the statement that in his opinion the skull found in the ruins of the home belonged to Godwin.

Excluding the balloting in several states today, nominations have been made for 334 of the 435 seats in the House. Of the more than 600 Demo cratic and Republican candidates, less than 50 bore Townsend endorsement in seeking nomination. These are about equally divided between the two major parties. In numerous states where reverses have been their lot in the primaries, however, supporters of the $200-mon thly-pension proposal have announced independent candidacies. In still others, the new Union party is putting up candidates. So the true measure of Townsend strength can not be had until November. Various sections, including much of the East and the South outside of Florida, reported the pension senti ment a relatively negligible factor in the primary campaigns. Some three score primary contests on the issue have resulted in defeats for Townsendites outnumbering victories by about two to one. Their stronghold is the state wnere D. F. E. Townsend originally pro jected the ideaf California. There six Democratic and five Republican nom inees for the state's 20 seats in the House are counted for the plan out right. Six other nominees have come 5ut for "a fair hearing." With 36 Senate seats being filled this year, major nominees recorded ? is favorable to Townsend are few. Fhey include Terry Carpenter, Neb raska Democrat; Willis Mahoney, Oregon Democrat; and C. O. Andrews ind Claude Pepper, Florida Demo crats named to fill out the unexpired terms of the late Senators Trammel! md Fletcher. Ernest Lundeen, Far mer-Labor candidate for the Senate in Minnesota is expected to have Town rend backing. Supporters of the plan sought, but failed, to defeat Senators Robinson, (D? Ark.), McNary, CR., Ore.), Bo rah (R., Idaho), Logan (D., Kyi"), Murry (D., Mont.), and Carey (R., iVyo.), for renomination. Hoping to capture an Oklahoma Senatorship, Townsendites first backed Homer Smith for the Democratic nomination, ind then Governor Marland in the mn-off primary; but Representative Tosh Lee won each time.

With the crop very late, grading was behin 1, and the cot ton and hay fields ready for harvest ing, light breaks are the rule throughout the belt. Monday's average, the best of the week was reported as $24.61 for 447, 010 pounds, with growers receiving $110,026.22 for their offerings. Sales of 317,276 pounds Thursday boosted the season's totals to 2,026, 798 pounds, which brought farmers $478,445.48 at an average of $23.61. Warehouse floors were cleared by mid-afternoon Thursday for today's sale, which is estimated at 600,000 pounds with prices reported as taking an upward trend. The streets are crowded with cars and trucks and opening day is apparently being re enacted judging by the huge throng of people in town. Good prices continue to be paid for good grades but there seems to be a large quantity of the low grades on the market, which hold averages down but which is not unusual for the first offerings of any season. The Farmville market continues to attract new customers daily, and patrons of the market here express themselves as well pleased with the Federal grading service which can only be had in one other market in this belt.
