THE LINCOLN TIMES Former V NRA Chief Says He la Actuated By Unswerving Loyalty to Roosevelt Washington, Sept 21.—Sharply at tacking many phases of the new deal, Hugh S. Johnson today revealed plans for taking the stump as a friendly but vigorous critic of the ad ministration. Soon to retire from his second new deal post, the general in an inter view outlined an extended speaking lecture tour for the frank purpose of discussing publicly the “lousy as pects of this administration in the hope that some good ( will come of it.” He expects to retire as works pro gress administrator for New York state on October 16.

After thi middle of the month his en gagements will take him to the northwest, the Pacific coast, the southwest and the southeast. The tour will be completed about Janu ary 1. Stands By President In typically picturesque language General Johnson asserted he was ac tuated only by “unswerving loyalty to the President and his ideals. He believed, he said, that he could be •>f service by calling public attention to what he considered the admin istration’s mistakes. “I consider it my duty to discuss 'the lousy aspects of this administra tion because everybody knows it has made mistakes and is continuing to make them.” Explains Failure of NRA He delivered a broadside against the administration’s attempt to solve the problem of returning unemployed to work through the works progress and public works administrations; criticized its failure so far to balance ' the budget and said a return to the principles of NRA constituted the 1 first effective means of solving un employment. At the same time the former chief tain of NRA and father of the dead blue eagle, pooh-poohed talk of amending the constitution so as to guarantee the permanence of new deal laws. He asserted no amend ment was necessary for the purpose. “If the NRA case had been pre sented properly to the Supreme court in the first place,” he said, leaning back in his chair with his fee propped on a desk, “that maladroit decision never would have been ren dered.

It is hoped that there will be a cne hundred per cent attendance. Every member is urged to make a special effort to attend this meeting. BOY SCOUTS TO BEGIN DRIVE FOR NEW MEMBERS Every Troop Asked to Enlist At Least Four New Mem bers During Campaign Local officials of the Piedmont Council of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica, Inc., announce that in a meeting of the Executive Board of the or ganization held at the Hotel Charles in Shelby, at which time 36 repre sentatives of tlie eleven Counties of the Council area were present, plans for a membership campaign were adopted with the view of making the Piedmont Council the largest in the Southwest. The Piedmont Council is now the second largest being ex ceeded only by the Atlanta Georgia Council. Each of the 128 Troops in the Piedmont area will be asked to in crease their membership by at least four new members before the close of the year and with the same in crease in membership during the early part of 1936. This increase to gether with the organization of new Troops will give the Piedmont Coun cil the largest enrollment. At the present time 2,269 Scouts and 740 registered Scouters are enrolled in the Piedmont area in the program of Scouting. „ Reports received in connection with the Council training camp operated at Lake Lanier, near Tryon, show that the goal of the Council was reached in having more than 1,000 Scouts in camp during the summer; Plans are being made for the en largement of the Camp so that more boys may be accommodated during the coming year.

Send The Times to a friend, the cost is only $1.50 a year. Says Potato, Tobacco, Cotton, Wheat Acts Are “Uneco nomic,” “UnAmerican” Washington, Sept. 21. Develop ments in the potato situation, which has of late days divided the atten tion of the American people with Mussolini’s privately conducted war, included a statement, sponsored by the Republipan national committee, asserting thßt the potato act went through Congress under presidential piessure, and disclosure of the fact that protests are being received here against abandonment of the act from growers in states where the potato is produced on a commercial basis. Some of the protests are admittedly hot, the writers of such letters in sisting that the AAA go ahead and observe the law, and see to it that others do likewise. One of the principal reasons as signed for calling a meeting here of the growers early in October, to con sider some volunteer program for controlling production, and for the official intimation that Congress would be asked to modify the act, was that funds were not available for its enforcement because the third deficiency bill fell a victim to the filibuster conducted by the late Sen ator Long. This explanation of why the hot potato was dropped probably has made no great impression on the public, nor on the average potato grower, because it is very well un derstood that when the new deal starts looking for a few million dol lars the needed funds can always be found. A great deal more money will be found, it is certain, to fi nance the bounty payments to the cotton farmers. May Produce Difficulties If the protests are strong and nu merous enough from commercial growers AAA may find it difficult to get away from the potato act, what ever officials may think of -the dif ficulties of enforcement, and the merits of the compulsory and puni tive features, for it can scarcely be questioned that the famous act har monizes very well with the AAA pro gram generally. It was this circum stance, and the support given by the President that led a reluctant senate, if not house, to pass the bill. If there is to be production control in cotton, tobacco and other fields, then there must be control of potato production, the argument not unnaturally ran. This phase of the matter was em phasized in the Republican commit tee statement, which gave what sup ported to be the background of the legislation. There was also mention of Representative Warren’s activities. It is possible that the Republican committee statement, contained in its weekly edition of “Facts and Opin ions,” will be regarded as highly significant, for in its discussion of potatoes the committees comes pretty close to a general condemnation of AAA policies. It is asserted that (Continued on back page) PRIZES OFFERED FOR BEST FLOATS IN PARADE HERE Any Organization or Individ ual May Compete in Cele bration The float committee for the sesqui centennial celebration to be held on October 10, met last week and made further plans for the mammoth parade, which is to be a part of the celebration.

Hunt Madman Who Assaulted, Lashed Bride In Chicago Chicago, Sept. 21. —Squads of de tectives, augmented by policewomen and volunteer vigilantes, eombed the Austin district today in search of a gibbering moron who yesterday lash ed and attacked a young bride. Throughout the night the west side district remained under heavy police guard. Policewomen, their pistols ready, patrolled the streets in the role of lures to trap the sex man iac.

Phillips went to work one day recently but found he had no work to do—for someone had stolen his sawmill, whistle and all. Officers went to work and arrested L. U. Perkins, who said he didn’t steal the sawmill and if he did why would he boldly take it to Goldsboro many miles away, which is where the sawmill was found. Judge Stamps Howard intimated he could not solve problems of the brain but decided Perkins should be given prayer for judgment if he paid Phillips $l6O for the sawmill and court costs. I Perkins, swearing one of Phillips’ employes sold the mill to him, ap pealed the case to Superior court.

Highway Patrolmen Are Flayed For “Useless” Arrests Salisbury, Sept. 21. —A resolution condemning the state highway pa tiol for making arrests of motor ists in this section for what were termed “unintentional, harmless, and trivial technical violations of the motor vehicle laws,” was passed by the Rowan board of commissioners in' a special session today. The commissioners stated that they resented the actions and believed such actions are “doing nothing to reduce reckless anc hazardous driv. ing.” The board recommended to au thorities in charge that the patrol men “be instructed to use some common sense in carrying out their duties, and not waste time running after some poor fellow who has lost his registration card, or whose rear light perhaps came loose, and go after those who are cutting corners, running on the wrong Bide of the road, entering highways without stopping, and other major infractions of tne law.” Solicitor W. V. Harris, of the county court stated that he will nol pros all trivial and meaningless cases brought by the highway pa trol. Copies of the resolution are be ing sent to Governor Ehringhaus, Dr. M. C. S. Noble, and Captain C. D. Farmer of the state patrol. You can do your part in the up building of Lincolnton by helping to make it the best town in North Caro line in which to raise boys and girls. No city has a greater challenge than this. LOCAL MARKET \ COTTON 10%c pound S WHEAT ~ 90c busheli CORN 90c bushel EGGS 28c & 30c dozen FIVE CENTS PER COPY Plan to Get Aid From CCC Camps; No Fees Asked For Membership Around fifty farmers met at th% court house Saturday afternoon and organized the Lincoln County Soil Erosion Association. The following directors were named: Michael Leon hardt, North Brook township; Tom Warlick, Howards Creek township; R. A. Long, Lincolnton township; J. 11. Newton, Ironton township, M. L. Sigmon, Catawba Springs township. These will meet later and name a president of the organization. L. B. Altman, district agent of the Extension Department, at Raleigh, had charge of the meeting and J. H. Sterling, in charge of the Soil Ero sion Department at High Point, was also present. It was explained to the farmers that the CCC camps located at New ton and Gastonia will serve Lincoln county. There is no obligation to be coming a member of the association and nq fees attached to it, but no farmer who does not belong to the association can get help in soil ero sion work from the CCC camps, it was pointed out. On the' other hand joining the county association does not obligate the farmer to have work done by the CCC boys if he does not wish. The attendance at the meeting was considered exceptionally good, due to the fact that most of the farmers are busy making hay. A number who could not attend the meeting called si. the office of the county agent Saturday morning and sig.jp2a d a de sire to enroll as members. Convict-Preacher Given Liberty By Missouri Ruler Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 21 A miner who was sent to prison for killing a man but who escaped, mar ried, turned preacher and used the nation for his pulpit was paroled to day by Gov. B. Park. The action made legal the freedom maintained unbroken since Novem ber, 1920, when Frank Davis, a trusty walked away from the Missouri pen itentiary here after serving one year of a 30-year sentence. He adopted the name of “the Rev. Benjamin Franklin Smith.” He preached to hundreds in evangelistic revivals at such widely separated cities as Philadelphia, Birmingham, Atlanta and Portland, Ore. He mar ried the woman who now sings at his meetings, first confiding to her hos past life. Two sons were born. Missouri prison officials sought vainly for a trace of the man they knew as Davis. About a year ago, he appealed through an attorney for a parole. He said he wanted to “settle up" with the state. He claimed that when he killed a man in 1919 while a worker in the lead and zinc mines near Joplin, Mo., he acted to save his brother’s life. People now living in Lincolnton will look back, after another forty years, and wonder what everybody was worried about. Our own idea is that it’s about time for the people of Lincolnton to get together, work together and stay together. alphabet. .
