MONDAY, NOV. 11, 1935 4R*j§f Legal Murder of Incurables Is Being Sought in England TRAIN ROBBERS SEIZE $40,000 Garrettsville, 0., Nov. 9.—A des perate gang of five machine-gun robbers, firing shots and shouting threats, raided an Erie railroad pas senger and mail train today, held at bay a dozen startled spectators, and escaped with mail pouches which of ficials said probably contained at least $40,000. The gang waited until the train, bound from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, ground to a regular stop at the Gar rettsville station. Then one of them held up Earl Davis, a news dealer, who was waiting on the platform. “At least four of them had ma chine guns,” Davis said. “One of them fired a shot into the mail car and ordered the three clerks to come outside. “A couple of the other robbers at the same time were holding up every one on the station platform, and made them stand in a line. “Another robber, with gun in hand, forced Engineer Charles Shull and Fireman P. O. Leuschner out of the locomotive cab.” One of the robbers, entered the mail car, fired a shot that grazed the forehead or Orlin Workman, a clerk. It raised a bump but did not seriously hurt him.

Selection of Negro Lawyer For State WPA Job Causes Great Deal of Speculation Raleigh, Nov. 9.—Appointment of Conrad Pearson, prominent negro at torney of Durham, as consultant in the WPA was discussed a great deal here today by Raleigh people who recall that he led the proposal to register a negro student in the pharmacy school of the University of North Carolina. The Durham attorney, one of the most intellectual young men of his race in the country, is also well identified with the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People which has figured a great deal in national politics in recent years. The Democrats appear to have been the beneficiaries of those activities j in the larger number of enterprises. Lawyer Pearson who wields a wicked yen and strafes his white neighbors no little, has appeared in numerous , North Carolina cases involving the ' right* of negroes in the exercise of English Doctor Admits Kill ing Five Persons to Re lieve Their Pains Lindon, Nov. 9. —A campaign to establish “the right of persons suf fering from incurable disease to die” was announced today after an English doctor was reported to have admitted five “mercy slayings." A “kindly faced elderly family doctor,” said the Daily Mail, told it in a “confession.” “I’ve taken life on five different cccasions. My conscience never Tricked me. I still carry with me memories of those cases and the happy faces before they died.” Lord Moyinhan, one of Britain’s most distinguished surgeons, dis closed a campaign to give incur ables “the right to die.” “This is a serious proposition,” said the peer, who has been an ad vocate of the formation of a "vol untary euthanasia legalization so ciety.” Lord Moynihan announced the group to which hfe and other in fluential members of the medical profession and clergymen belong has called a meeting December 10 at headquarters of the British Medical association in London to propose “laying the whole proposi tion before the country.” He declined comment on the ar ticle carried by the Daily Mail, asserting, “We want no cheap ad vertisement,” and that the Daily Mail story was a side issue. “The right to die is gaining sup port throughout the nation,” con tinued the peer, “and we believe we shall not find opposition except from Roman Catholics, who are ob jecting for obvious reasons.” Will Present Bill Lord Moynihan said he planned to present a bill to the next parlia ment providing for death in cer tain circumstances. The Daily Mail quoted the “kind (Continued on back page) the suffrage and in jury duties. Bailey Was Attacked He was named by Administrator George W. Coan, Jr., who is the ap pointee of Senator J. W. Bailey. Mr. Bailey has been attacked by the N. A. A. C. P., and other organizations cf the race for his votes on the lynching bills. In Durham the con sultant won the recommendations of the best men of his race, many of whom were less inclined to agitate r gainst the wrongs done the negroes than the lawyer himself was dis posed. The interesting thing here in Raleigh is that the new official gets the best available place for anybody cf his race anywhere in North Caro lina and there is no protest. There probably will be Republican attacks on the selection, but apparently there is no disposition among the Demo crats to make music about this nomi (Continued on back pag«) PAY AS YOU GO’ POLICY IS URGED BY GOV. LANDON Common - Sense Administra tion Advocated by Possible G. O. P. Nominee Cleveland, Nov. 9.—Gov. Alf M. I.andon, of Kansas, frequently men tioned as a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomina tion next year, urged a “pay-as-you go" policy for government here to night and called for a “sound com mon sense administration.” Governor Landon said before leaving Kansas to address the Ohio Chamber of Commerce that his trip had no political significance. A.lthough he made no reference to next year’s presidential election his address tonight was sprinkled with generalizations on government. He emphasized that the need was not for “more laws, or more pro grams, or more experimentation, but for sound common sense admini stration. In recommending that the cost of government, especially the large relief expenditures, be put on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, Landon said that “the errors of an unwise fi nancial policy have always been fatal to every government in the history of civilization.” Faced With Facts “It is not my place here,” he said, “to discuss the weakness or strength of new policies in govern ment. I shall not attempt to char acterize them as successes or fail ures, or as revolutionary or evolu tionary. For better or for worse such laws are here. “We are faced with a condition of fact, not of speculative theory. So, the major task ahead in the main is not more laws or more pro grams or more experimentation, but sound common sense administra tion.” Governor Landon said, “We must build against a return of what we have been through these last few years.” “We must build,” he said, “on the ualization that this economic situ ation did not come upon us suddenly, nor will we get out of it overnight. But, as I said before, while the er rors of other administrative policies may not of themselves be fatal, the errors of an unsound fiscal policy have always been ruinous to every government in the history of civili zation.” Must Aid Unemployed Governor Landon said that assist (Continned on back page) HOLDING COMPANY STATUTE INVALID Baltimore, Nov. 9.—The 1935 hold ing company act—designed to give the government, power for a sweep ing reorganization of the utility in dustry—today was held to be invalid ‘in its entirety.” Federal District Judge William C. Coleman ruled to that effect and in those words in instructing the trus tees of the American States Public Service company to treat the act as “invalid and of no effect.” Announcement in New York that an appeal would be taker apparently headed the case towards the Supreme court of the United States. Judge Coleman took the position that Congress “flagrantly exceeded il3 lawful power” under the constitu tion in enacting the measures by which elimination of most of the holding companies in the nation’s \ast utilities network was sought. Assailing the new law on four main grounds, he described it as “grossly arbitrary, unreasonable and capricious” and of such nature that it was impossible to separate from the invalid sections and put into ef fect parts of the act, “if any, as oth erwise might be valid.” Baby Born With Full Set of Teeth San Diego, Cah, Nov. 9.—The one day old daughter of Mrs. Mildred Armstrong had an appointment with a dentist today! Bom with a full set of teeth, the six-pound baby, held in awe by the medical profession, was forced to relinquish all but two of tier teeth because they were crook ed. Physicians who examined the infyit said it was the first time in local medical history a baby had been born with a full set of teeth. New Deal Scored, Then Commended At Trade Meeting New Army Chief r. ; tOSt* GEN. MALIN D. CRAIG Major-General Craig, com mandant of the War College, is the new chief of staff of the United States Army, succeed ing General Douglas MacArthur, retired.

Production of 11,464,000 bales was indicated a month ago. Last year’s crop was 9,636,000 bales; the 1933 crop, 13,047,000 bales. The official crop figures were con siderably below average expectations slid their publication was followed by a sharp advance in price. Foreign and domestic trade inter ests were credited with buying on the advance which carried December up to 11.33 and May to 11.20, or about 26 to 27 points above the low prices of the morning. The market at mid-day was quiet tut steady, within a point or two of the best allowing net advances of 19 to 20 points. The government report, placing the indicated crop of 11,141,- 000 bales was 371,000 bales below the average of recent private estimates and showed a reduction of 32,000 from the indication of last month. Ginnings from this year’s crop prior to November 1 were reported by the census bureau to have total ed 7,749,635 running bales, counting round as half bales and exclusive of hnters. Ginnings to that date a year ago were 7,917,671 bales, two years ego 10,355,031. • Spears Gets Seat Vacated By Devin In Superior Court Raleigh, Nov. 9.—Governor Ehr inghaus today announced the appoint ment of Marshall T. Spears of Dur ham as resident superior court judge of the tenth judicial district. Judge Spears will succeed Judge W. A. Devin of Oxford, who last week was elevated by guberna torial appointment to the supreme court to succeed the late Associate Justice W. J. Brogden. The governor, said he had given ‘most careful and thoughtful con sideration to the many recommend ations and suggestions that had ceme to him and the qualifications and claims of each of the worthy candidates suggested.” The chief executive pointed out that two-thirds of the lawyers In the entire district reside in Dur ham, and other factors which made him feel Durham should have the judgeship. Some people make the mistake of saying the right thing at the wrong time. LOCAL MARKET ! i COTTON . ll%c pound i WHEAT sl.lO fcusnel CORN 60c bushel EGGS 30 and 33c dozen PRICE: FIVE CENTS Oral Blows Struck at Session Os Commerce Body in Kansas City Kansas City, Nov. 9.—Sharp oral blows flew back and forth here to day over the Roosevelt new deal pro gram in general and its agricultural phase in particular at the southwes tern divisional session of the United States chamber of commerce. The meeting was turned swiftly into a governmental diagnostic clinic a« staunch defenders and bitter as sailants alternated Sn expressing frank opinions. W. L. Clayton, Houston, Tex., cot ton broker, excoreiated “the present policy of price rising through gov ernment sabotage of production.” He insisted it “is a sure way to make unemployment the permanent prob lem that some seem to fear it may become.” Farrell Back AAA Dr. F. D. Farrell, president of Kansas State college, emphasized the benefits derived from the AAA, as serting “farm prices are much bet ter and for this the AAA must bo given its share of credit as well as the weather.” On the other hand, Dr. A. B. Cox, chief of the bureau of business re search at the University of Texas, scored a policy of reducing acreage to raise prices as in violation of “every principle of sound economics” “Alphabetical programs with high sounding names which were created to make work may be good head lines, he said, “but the 'driblets that trickle down *>.the Undy of tenant farmers and farm village laborers have been pitiful indeed.” Business Is Warned The Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, vice president of Georgetown university at Washington, D. C., said business has been offered its opportunity by Ihe President to show what it can do on its own hook. Then he warned: If you fumble, he can fairly and legitimately go before the country 12 months hence with no hot potato in his hand, irrespective of how many Mr. Wallace (Henry Wallace, secre tary of agriculture) is holding.” Dr. Isador Loeb, dean of the school of business and public administration at Washington university, St. Louis, was alarmed by the soaring of the’ national debt. It has, he said, “reached such pro portions that a continuation of this rolicy will impair national debt. Taxes are high and probably will be higher. “Neither political party will abon don certain features of the new deal program which involves large ex penditures.” Thieves Lug Safe Away For Naught Lenoir, Nov. 9.—Efforts which un known thieves exerted in moving a 300-pound safe from the residenco cf H. S. Smith, in the Petra Mills section, went for naught as they were unable to pry open the door, county officers reported.
