Farley Calls Roosevelt Foes Gangsters’ and demagogues Tuckahoe, N. Y., Jan. 13.—Post master General James A. Farley to night sounded the Democratic rally ing cry for the 1936 presidential campaign: “Keep Roosevelt in—and keep the gang out.” In an address couched in sharp and vigorous phrases, the Democratic national chairman arraigned “the relf professed gangsters of big busi ness” as “arrant degagogues” and "hirelings of privilege,” whose “stock in trade is talk.” Farley prepared his speech for de livery at a delayed Jackson day din ner of the Westchester county Demo cratic committee. His words were a dear amplification of the President’s declaration to Congress of “no re treat.” He accused what he called the "unprincipled brigands” of money and big business with crying for quarter in 1932, but now attempting THE LINCOLN TIMES Speeding Developments Give Proof to Unprecedented Drive For Votes Washington, Jan, 14-—Speeding developments gave proof today, if rny was needed, that the presidential campaign will be the backdrop of ex citing months sighted for the capital. None in itself was of conclusive importance. But congressional lead ers discerned a political thread link ing many in a manner that raised new problems for them. What happened in brief: Representatives Eaton, Republican, New Jersey, and O’Connor, Demo crat, New York, clashed in the house over the President’s address to Con gress and whether Postmaster Gen eral Farley was a Tammany man. In his maiden speech, Representa tive Main, Republican, Michigan,! charged Mr. Roosevelt with “political intolerance.” Republican Chairman Fletcher notified the Columbia broadcasting system he would periodically request radio time comparable to that given “the party in power.” Representative McCormack, Demo crat, Massachusetts, denounced Mr. Fletcher in the house for “subtly charging” the President had in fluenced radio chains to bar Repub lican campaign skits. Senator McAdoo, Democrat, Cali fornia, took up with the President the discordant Democrat situation in his state, declining later to say whether the White House would try to avert a split delegation to the Philadelphia convention. Mrs. Thomas D. Sehall announced her candidacy for the Republican senatorial nomination in Minnesota on the anti-new deal stand her late husband took in the senate. Representative Treadway, Republi ’an, Massachusetts, predicted in the house the Canadian reciprocal trade tgreement would become a principal ■ampaign issue. He denounces ad ministration tariff policies as “un constitutional.” The admnistration pressed its new farm relief plan despite objection from Senator Norris, Republican, Ne braska, a Roosevelt supporter, that it violated the constitutional princi ple of the AAA decision. The action of Col. Henry Breek enridge in filing papers for the Ohio primaries aroused speculation which led his friend, Senator Byrd, Demo crat, Virginia, to deny at Winches ter, Va„ that his name would be en tered there. A Democrat, Brecken ridge opposes Roosevelt policies. Byrd has found fault with some but is expected to support the President. Some house members wondered whether Breckenridge might have been acting only for himself or for the American Liberty league. Head quarters of the league said noth ing was known about it there. To the delight of his Republican colleagues in the house, Eaton re ferred to Farley as ‘-‘the whitest lily ever nurtured in the Tammany tra dition since Boss Tweed went to (Continued on back page) to “muscle in” on the fruits of a general prosperity. “President Roosevelt proposes to make a clean workmanlike job of re form,” Farley declared, “and because he knows that only through reforms that end the exploitation of the many by the few can American institutions be preserved. “He knows that since every ele ment has suffered from the wrongs, the reforms must touch every ele ment in the nation, the farmer, the industrial worker, the miner, the toiler incapacitated by age, the small business man, the professional busi ness man, the white collar worker. “That is what is making his ad ministration one of the most signifi cant and stupendous in all history. “In the light of the progress that has been made, the destiny of this country rests upon the continued (Continued on back page) Published On Monday and Thursday LINCOLNTON, N.

Catawba Lass Finds Beauty In Tongue of Cow Hickory, Jan. 15.—As other nec essity has been only the mere mother of invention but for Martha Ehrlong, 21-year-old farm maid, it has solved a beauty problem. When the depression began de pressing, Miss Ehrlong said, she found .trips to Hickory from her farm 12 miles away no longer profitable. Then, too, she found her curls slow ly unfurling. Then she, also, became depressed end remained so until one morning she noticed one of her cows licking the hair of another —and the hair curled beautifully. So —according to Miss Ehrlong— she sprinkled a bit of salt on her own dark tresses and the cow liked il, began licking. In time, the farm maid said, her liair became trained in beautiful waves. Today she was back in Hickory but she passed up the city beauty parlor, saying she would continue to rely on bossy. The safest thing you can get with a kick, is a good mule, says the Hartwell (Ga.)

Group Hospitalization Is Now Available to Citizens of North Carolina The Hospital Saving Association of North Carolina was fully explain ed to members of the Rotary Club and guests at Tuesday’s meeting by Morgan B. Spier, of Charlotte. Mr. Spier is president of the North Caro lina Orthopaedic Hospital, of Gastonia, and is vitally interested in the group hospitalization plan, which has recently been placed in operation in the state. The speaker was intro duced by Dr. J. R. Gamble, who was in charge of the program. The Hospital Saving Association, said Mr. Spier, is a new, non-profit association, which will provide all essential hospital care for its mem bers. It is not, he pointed out, an insurance company. Speaking further, he said: “Any group of employes may become mem bers of the association by signing application blanks and paying the small membership dues. If you are not employed with a large group of other workers, you may still become a members if you will persuade at least nine of your friends or neigh bors to form a group and join with you. In other words, one individual alone cannot join. “The membership fee is 15 cents a week for individuals over sixteen years of age, or forty cents a week for the entire family of husband, wife, and children under sixteen yeans of age.” The benefits from the association dude hospital care for twenty one days if necessary in any one year; 1 ward accommodation, general nurs ing care, routine laboratory exami- 1 nation, operating room fees, delivery ' loom fees (in complicated maternity eases), general anesthetics, routine medication and dressings,, a credit of $3.00 per day toward private room accommodation if you prefer a pri vate room, all other customary rou- ' tine hospital care. j* The benefits form the association (Continued on back page) 34 PERISH IN : sirs WRECK Astoria, Ore., Jan. 13. Thirty four men were counted lost today as the wild Pacific hurled six battered bodies upon the shore from the wrecked intercoastal freighter lowa. Coast guardsmen said none of the crew of the 410-foot vessel could have surived the pounding seas that smashed the freighter into wreckage after a 76-mile an hour hurricane tossed it upon Peacock Spit, Davey Jones’ locker for many another ship. The furious storm also threatened several other vessels as coast patrol sought bodies of other victims. It was the greatest toll of lives on Peacock Spit since 1913, when 33 were lost an a tanker. Back Talmadge For Presidency Atlanta, Jan. 15.—Gov. Eugene Talmadge, outspoken New Deal foe, was endorsed for the Presidency to day by a committee of 57 McDuffie County, Ga., citizens who referred to him as “the next President of the 1 United States.” NO HOOVER LAW HAS EVER BEEN RULED INVALID Former President Asks For Public Apology From Sec retary Harold Ickes New York, Jan. 15.—Former Presi dent Herbert Hoover tonight called for a public apology from Secretary cf the Interior Ickes for an imputa tion upon the constitutionality of laws passed during his administra tion. Mr. Hoover lashed out sliarply at his New Deal critic in a short tele gram sent Secretary Ickes, calling attention “to an untruthful state ment made by you” in an address in Rochester, N. Y., before the Roches ter City club January 4. “You said: ‘Under Mr. Hoover . . . Congress passed laws which were held unconstitutional,’ ” Mr. Hoover declared. “Not one of several acts of that period has been held unconstitutional. I never signed a law without bearing in mind the special obligation which rested upon the President to protect the Constitution.” Blames Michelson The former President imputed to Charles Michelson, in charge of publicity for the Democratic party, tnd “other New Deal sources” the origination of statement purport edly declaring that laws enacted during the Hoover administration had been invalidated by the Supreme Court. “The falsity of this statement,” Mr. Hoover’s telegram averred, “which originated with Mr. Michel son and other New Deal sources, was promptly and publicly exposed by former Attorney General Mitch ell on August thirtieth last. “Its falsity has been repeatedly pointed out in the press. In a time like the present your action calls for an apology to the public.” Attorney General William D. Mitchell served during Mr. Hoover’s administration. Not Hoover’s Laws Mr. Hoover did not amplify his short telegram to Secretary Ickes, tut his aides have, on several oc casions, called attention vigorously to the fact that, while several laws were declared unconstitutional dur ing Mr. Hoover’s term in the White (Continued on back page) congressmanls GIVEN SENTENCE: i i Washington, Jan. 15.—Representa tive John H.

Twelve men, four women, one child made up the 14 passengers and crew .of three who rode the ill fated ship on the Memphis-Little Rock hop of the regular New York Los Angeles flight last night. Cause Unknown A .department of commerce of j ticial, viewing the splintered wreck age, said the cause of the accident probably never would be known. Plane and bodies were torn to bits as the liner crashed through a dense growth of trees, scattering plane parts and the victims over an area 400 yards long and about 75 yards wide. The wreckage came to rest in a water-filled bog. Remnants of eight of the bodies were brought out of a dense swamp today. They were brought out on a flat-bed farm wagon, drawn by two mules which had difficulty in mak ing the trip out of the marsh. The bodies were .taken to a Memphis funeral home where it was hoped that definite identification could be made. Tentative plans ea’b-J fo> re moval of the bodies to Memphis, with a further effort to be made there at identification. Wagons bog ging down, rescuers moved them out siowly on stretchers. Among the victims was W. R. Dyess, works progress administra tor for Arkansas; and Frank C. Hart, wealthy New Yorker, president I' of the Hartol Products company. Coroner on Stretcher J. C. Crawford, aged, crippled cor oner of St. Francis county, was car ried tortuously on a stretcher through the swamps to the scene before dawn to hold an inquest. He was held aloft by four men, standing deep in water, as he ex amined the bodies, heard two farm ers who said they saw the plane fall, and made notes in a small book by the light of lanterns. On stretchers, the bodies which Lad been recovered were carried be fore him and, with the assistance of Cecil West of the Little Rock Airport, who held a passenger list, he attempted identification. He returned a verdict that all 17 died “by accidental airplane crash.” around $6,500 in interest, due to the low interest rate charged by the Farm Credit Administration and that during the next two years all Fed eral Land Bank loans will be just four per cent and Commissioners loans 6 per cent. Mr. McNeely also stated that the Farm Credit Administration is still making loans and that he will be glad to go over the terms, etc., with tiny one who is interested.
