LINCOLN FARMERS RECEjVES2O,4S7 The farmers of Lincoln county re ceived $20,457.23 as benefit payments of all crops during the months of July, August and September, accord ing to information sent The Times from Raleigh today. During this time the Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration poured almost $3,000,000 into the pockets of North Carolina farmers. Rental and benefit payments to farmers cooperating in the crop ad justment programs accounted for $2J>78,086.79 of the total, said Dean I. O. Schaub, of State College. The largest sum went to tobacco growers, who received $1,443,792.83. Cotton growers got $997,218.76, corn hog producers $128,642.57, and wheat growers $8,432.63. In addition, cotton growers who placed surplus tax-exemption certifi cates in the national pool received $1,361.73 from the sale of these cer tificates to other growers.

The rental and benefit payments are still flowing to the farmers, but the amount for October and Novem ber have not been tabulated to date. The payments are made from funds raised by processing taxes on the commodities covered by the various adjustment programs.

THE LINCOLN TIMES City Dwellers Will Receive Justice Under Program, He Says in Speech Chicago, Dec. 10.—Assurance of justice to city dwellers under the ad ministration farm relief program was voiced today by President Roosevelt in a talk to the American Farm Bu reau Federation convention. Cracking dowti on the “political profiteer,” the "dispensers of dis cord,” and the “calamity howlers,” the President spoke confidently of the “broad recovery program;” endorsed the new Canadian trade treaty and stated that the farm pro gram has actually given consumers “net benefits.” "The thing we all are seeking,” he said, "is justice in the common sense interpretation of that word —the in tepretation that means ‘Do unto your neighbor as you would be done by.’ ” Governor Horner of Illinois and Mayor Kelly of Chicago welcomed the President as his special train ar rived near the stockyards amphi theater where the farm meeting was in session. Edward A. O'Neal, president of the farm federation, walked to the platform with Mr. Roosevelt amid a roaring welcome by the convention. O’Neal introduced Secretary Wallace for just a word before the President spoke. The huge amphitheater structure, for which 15,000 admission tickets had been given out, was completely filled. Evidently striking at his oppo nent’s contention that AAA is an unwarranted encroachment of Fed eral power into the domain of the States (a point at issue in the Hoosac case), the President said the 48 States, acting separately, are power less to attain a balanced agriculture. Picturing the whole American economy as a “seamless web,” he declared that higher farm prices con ferred “net benefits” on consumers, though he hit many retail prices as “too high.” “Lifting prices on the farm up to the level where the farmer and his family can live is opposed chiefly by the few who profited heavily by the depression," he said. “It is they and their henchmen who are doing their best to foment city people against the farmers and tht farm program. “It is that type of political profit eer who seek to discredit the vote in favor of a continued corn-hog pro gram by comparing your desire for a fair price for the farmer to the appetite of hogs for corn.” Speaking in the stockyards am phitheatre, he proclaimed the aim of government as justice for all, in city end country. ~ In his endorsement of the recip rocal trade agreement with Can- ' ada, he referred to “dispensers of discord” and “calamity howlers.” “Just as I am confident,” he said, “that the great masses of city peo ple are fair-minded, so I am sure that the great majority of Ameri can farmers will be fair in their judgment of the r.ew treaty. “If the calamity howlers should happen to be right, you have every assurance that Canada and the United States will join in correct ing inequalities, but I do not be lieve for a single moment that the calamity howlers are right. Work Solid Year To Dig Way Out, Then Get Caught Walla Walla, Wash., Dec. 11.—It took eight long-term convicts a year to dig a tunnel under the Washington state penitentiary through which they escaped today. It took armed prison guards only a few hours to recapture five of them. T. H. (Tubby) Johnson, Gerald Durning, Richard (Shotgun) Thomp son and Clarence Miles were over taken on the Columbia river north west of here.

Kansas Governor Appeals to Newspaper Men, Seen As G. O. P. Candidate Topeka, Kans., Dec. 10.—William Randolph Hearst sized up Gov. Alf M. Landon today and hailed him as a man who could rout the Roosevelt forces in 1936. “Landon can be nominated by the Republicans and elected," Hearst said. “He understands the issues.” Scarcely less outspoken in his praise of the Kansas budget-balancer was Paul Block, like Hearst, publish er of a group of newspapers, who also came here to visit Landon. “If the Republican convention were held tomorrow," Block said, “Landon would receive the nomi nation easily." Hearst stopped briefly en route to California. With him were Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, publisher of the Washington Herald, and Arthur Bris | bane, columnist and chief editorial (writer of the Hearst newspapers. Think Landon “Marvelous.” I After lunch at the rambling old JUDGE WARLICK WILL NOT ENTER CONGRESS RACE Newton Jurist Makes Definite Decision Not to Oppose Bulwinkle (By LeGette Blythe in Charlotte Observer) Judge Wilson Warlick of Newton told The Observer last night he had decided definitely not to seek the Democratic nomination for Congress in next June’s primary. Announcement of the popular su perior court jurist that he has chosen to remain on the bench ends several months’ speculation and means that a number of candidates or would-be candidates for the congressional i.omination will be able to sleep more soundly hereafter. “I wish you would express for me my very deep appreciation of the numerous offers of support I have received,” said Judge Warlick. “I have decided not to run, however, and I think it fair to the public to announce at this time that I shall not offer for the nomination. I have had mighty flattering offers from every county in the district and vir tually every township, and I most sincerely appreciate them, but I have decided not to seek the nomination.” Judge Warlick’s friends have been confident that he could win the nomination and have told him that he would win over the field, including Maj. A. L. Bulwinkle of Gastonia, the incumbent, William F. Scholl, Charlotte lawyer and rep resentative in the North Carolina General Assembly from Mecklenburg in the 1935 session, and Claude B. Woltz of Gastonia, who has practic ed law there and at Charlotte for the last several who afe thus far the only announced candidates; and Hamilton C. Jones, B. S. Whiting, and Edgar W. Pharr, all of Charlotte, who are considered tentative candi dates. The jurist has never said he would run, and his announcement constitutes no withdrawal, by any manner or conjecture. He has an nounced before, however, that , be cause of the interest expressed in bis possible entrance and because of his friends’ apparent determina tion to have him enter, he was giv ing the matter serious considera tion. For that reason, he said last night, he felt he should formally make known that he would not enter the race. His announcement cannot be con strued to mean, however, that Judge Warlick is definitely fore swearing a later legislative career. He is still intrigued with the idea of challenging Senator Robert R. Reynolds for the senatorial nomi nation in 1938, his friends know, and they are confident he could give the senator a highly interest ing contest. Judge Warlick is well known throughout the western sec tion of the State and has many friends also in the east. He is recognized as a man of many pos sibilities in the political field be cause of his ability, coupled whith a geniality that brings him, new friends wherever he holds court. frame dwelling which serves as the ( Kansas executive mansion, Hearst, smiling broadly, exclaimed: “I think he is marvelous. To say I . am favorably impressed puts it very mildly.” Block, who said the only purpose ( of his trip here was to “become per- , sonally acquainted" with Landon, seconded Hearst in their postluncheon comment. “He’s an even bigger man than I had previously thought.” Smiles formed the only response of cither Hearst or Block to questions as to whether they had pledged the Kansas governor their support. But Block unequivocally predicted the defeat of the new deal and Hearst said: “If the Republicans and those op posed to the new deal united on a man like Governor Landon—a man who is a doer and not a promiser— the new deal can be defeated.” Both Hearst and Block sought to contrast the record of Landon with that of President Rqosevelt. “In the minds of the public,” said Hearst, “Mr. Roosevelt is a gay Public Resistance Os Spending Orgy By U.

SUPREME COURT ~ NOT TO REVIEW HAUPTMANN CASE Convicted Kidnaper-Murderer Os Lindbergh Baby One Step Nearer Chair Washington, Dec. 10. —Almost the last avenue of escape from electro cution was . -ed Jo .' fruno Richard Hauptmann today vlPien the Supreme Court refused to review his convic tion of kidnaping and murdering the Lindbergh baby. In an atmosphere acquiver with the prospects of arguments about to begin over the AAA, the court made known its decision through the one word —“denied.” It was contained in a long list of court “orders,” telling whether appeals from lower tribunals would be reviewed. Only court attaches and newspap ermen knew of the all-important word affecting the Bronx carpenter. It was not read aloud. Hauptmann’s attorneys had an nounced previously that, in the event a review was refused, they would seek a new trial if new evi dence could be found and would ap peal for a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment.

Coroner R. L. Washburn called an inquest for 3 o’clock tomorrow aft ernoon when the results of a chemi cal analysis of the man’s stomach are expected to be available. From neighbors Chief E. W.

Aldrich, New York banker, tonight with what ha called encouraging signs of business improvement. Balancing the Federal budget, ha said, was “first and foremost" among the problems yet to be solved. Aldrich, speaking at a Chamber of Commerce dinner, said: “The statement recently made by the President of the United States that great bankers had told him in the spring of 1933 that the public aebt of the United States govern ment could rise to a maximum of from $56,000,000,000 to $70,000,000,- COO, without serious danger to the national credit, created, I believe uni versal surprise and bewilderment among bankers.

They were a lessening of fear of what the New Deai might do, disappearance of the NRA, and a “tremendous replacement demand.” (Continued on page two) COTTON FORECAST 10,734000 BALES Washington, Dec. 10.—The 1935 cotton crop was estimated today at 10,734,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight each by the department of agriculture.
