Special Edition of Times Is Hailed As Greatest Paper Ever Published in City The Lincolnton Sesqui-Centen nial edition of The Times which was published Monday and which contained more pages and more square inches of printed mater ial than any other newspaper ever published in Lincolnton, has been acclaimed by the citizen ship of the city and county as the greatest paper ever issued in this community. Hundreds of citizens of Lin colnton have expresed this con tention to the publishers of The Times. Numerous telephone calls and letters from subscribers in nearby towns have been receiv ed, in which the special edition was highly commended. GAINS ARE MADE BY REPUBLICANS New Haven, Conn.. Oct. 9.—Con necticut republicans pointed today toward the 1936 campaign with fresh optimism as a re suit of the “small town” elections which swelled the number of municipalities in their control by nearly a score. The republicans had made the new deal a campaign issue. For the democrats who chose to wage the campaign on local issues the elections held in 149 out of the 169 towns in the state brought to at least a temporary halt a forward surge which began in 1930 with the election of Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, -i democrat. The republicans not only made heavy inroads on erstwhile demo cratic towns, but retained control of virtually every one of the 116 muni cipalities in their column before the balloting. Wallingford was one not s.ble exception. The democrats even lest ground in the only three cities which elected mayors. Bristol elected a republican may or, Joseph W. Harding, who defeated the democratic incumbent, Mayor Joseph F. Dutton, 4,254 to 3,102. In Torrington the republican in cumbent, Mayor Ernest E. Novery, was re-elected, defeating state Sena tor Francis W. Hogan, democrat, 4,- 639 to 4,491. Norwalk remained in the demo cratic column, but republicans cut deeply into their opponents’ plur ality of two years ago. Republican , announced prior to the balloting that they regarded the “small town” elections as the initial drive toward November of 1936. Italy la Guilty Geneva, Oct. 9.—The League of Nations’ council today adopted a re port declaring Italy had “resorted to war in disregard of its covenants.” The council of the League of Na tions, through its committee of 13 declared today Mussolini was the ag gressor against Ethiopia in violation of Italy’s pledge under the League covenant. Scotland county farmers are aD prehensive over a probable infesta tion of screw worm since the worm has appeared in adjoining counties of South Carolina. The 44-page edition of The Times, which exceeded by four pages any other newspaper ever published here, contained . a wealth of past and current his tory of Lincolnton never equalled in any other newspaper. Besides carrying pictures of prominent local men, old street scenes, churches and schools, an airplane view of the city and numerous other photos, The Times published for the first and only time in Lincolnton a photo graph of a letter from a presi dent, a picture of the first cot ton mill in the South which was built near here, a picture of Ben UNION MEN SAY RECOVERY RUNS AHEAD OF JOBS TO Keep Employment in Step, They Say, Hours Must Be Shortened Washington, Oct. B.—Reemploy ment has not kept pace with busine.-j.-i lecovery, say union officials prepar ing here for their annual A. F. of L. convention, opening at Atlantic City. Monday, the first since 1922 which reports a membership of over 300. 000. With business well over halfway back to normal, unemployment fig ures have remained almost station ary, or improved at a rate which shows no ultimate possibility of wip ing out the huge army of idle. This is the overshadowing prob lem that confronts the industrial world and the country of today, and the big labor federation is taking cognizance of it, along with federal officials like Aubrey Williams, Tem porary head of the works program. Only by Shorter Hours “Unless industry is willing to adopt deliberately a policy of sharing in creased business with workers,” said Mr. Williams, “there is not much hope of workers getting anything cut of a business revival.” Senator George W. Norris (R) of Nebraska shared the view, declar ing: “The only way we are going to get permanent recovery is through shorter hours.” “I think we can do it without re vising the Constitution, but if that is necessary we ought to amend it.” The American Federation of Labor convention has a lot of problems be fore it, but this is one of the most fundamental. Strengthened by the prestige given organized fabor by the sym pathy of the New Deal, through the NIRA and Wagner Labor Disputes Act, the federation’s convention will br one of the biggest on record. The issue of getting labor a big ger share in the recovery now going on will undoubtably be a major one. The federation estimates that 10,- 000,000 workers are still out of jobs in the United States today. The federation itself, however, has the largest membership in years. Fiend Hangs Girl In Garage After He Assaults Her Seattle, Oct. B.—One man was in custody for questioning tonight as police began a roundup of suspected degenerates in their search for the slayer of seven year-old Sally Jean Kelley. All buildings and grounds in the block on First hill where the child’s body was found hanging in an un used garage were being combed for clues. The child disappeared last night while visiting her grandmother, Mrs. Edith S. Coolidge, at an apartment house. The body suspended by a Iran’s handkerchief, was found sev eral hours later. Detective Earnest Yoris said he be lieved the child was attacked in the apartment house. An autepsy dis closed she had been assaulted, and then undressed, bathed and reclad. Police expressed the opinion Sally Jean was lured with candy into an apartment, and then perhaps uncon scious from strangulation and a blow, hanged in the garage. There was a bruise on her head. jamin Lincoln for whom the city was named, and numerous other interesting illustrations. It wa3 the first time in Lin colnton that a newspaper carried red headlines. Several hundred extra copies of this edition have already been sold and buyers continue tr> come after them as this is written (Wednesday afternoon). One lo cal man bought ten copies, say ing: “I’m going to send them to friends in nearby towns and if they don’t come to our celebra tion after seeing this special is sue of The Lincoln Times, then I’ll know they are sick —and bad off at that,” 25)000 Expected To Attend City’s Birthday Party [ GOP.
