WASHINGTON—In North Da kota. Senator Nye Is much concern ed about the drought, but very like ly certain development* are rein ing him to devote many hours also to planning a renewed crusade for government ownership of the muni tions Industry and an attack on the grpwing cost, of national defense. In the last days of the paat con gres. Nye had hard card* to play, I but two factor* now hav* pr**cnted themselves which he may look upon as useful aces One Is the de-! c.lsion of t.he Blum government in! France to nationalize the munition* Industry there The other t* the expectation this administration wiu hmld two new battleships al an es timated cost of $.'>0,000,000 e»/7i. Wilson Charge A Boomerang The munitions committee inves tigation of the erma and ship building Industry, headed by Nye, was a senate sensation for more than a year. Last spring It went into semi-eclipse when the North Dakotan drew down upon It the wrath of Senator Glass of Virginia \rr saying President Wilson 'fal sified” tntestimony at a senate hearing on World war treaties. But evefr with Its light almost enulted out by the opposition en-l gendered by the Wilson affair, the committee slogged along through the spring and published results of a study by two departmental engi neers (not army or navy) In which It was eatlmated that for *47,000, 000 the government could make It self Independent of private muni tion* manufacturer*, shipbuilders and airplane makers. Battleship* Vs. Resettlement On the strength of this estimate the munitions committee came out late in the session favoring part nationalization, omitting previous suggestions for the government to set up its own airplane plant. To Senator Nye the French ex ample might appear particularly apt. It huge Schnelder-Creusot munitions plant repeatedly has been held aloft by the cc remittee as an Instance of an armament maker assertedly free to tantalise rival na tions Into heavy purchases In the belief that each was arming against the other. As to the #100,000,000 worth of battleships, even before he left Washington after adjournment Senator Nye was preparing to ask the country, in. a series of speeches, to consider how many resettlement projects such a sum would build. Catalonia Force* ' Become Communist! _ i1 BARCELONA. Aug. 21.-The Cat alonian government, has moved vir tually to secede from the rest of Spain. After the generalitat, government council, decreed confiscation of all private property on Russian collec tivist lines. It took steps to sever Its ties with the Madrid government. It will aot henceforth, the coun cil declared, in complete independ ence in maintaining public order. The delegate to the central gov ernment wa» relieved of hit duties and the government announced its Intention to determine i s own policies on all matters, including immigration, emigration and the administration of Justice. ‘ The state of war existing here," it declared, “makes it opportune to eliminate duel control and to place all responsibility in one place." An official bulletin proclaiming the decree, relieved all magistrates, judges, state prosecutors and other personnel appointed by the central government of their duties imme diately. Workers took control of ail in dustries in the Catalonian autono mous region on the pattern of Sov iet Russia. 12-Year Pet Chick Taken By Thieve* WELDON. Aug. 21.—Reaching the unprecedented age of 12 years and four months, & red bantam rooster belonging to Janet Rawlings, of Weldon, who bought it eight years ago from Thomas Gregory, was stolen last Saturday night. The chicken was quite a pet, following its mistress, when she was* in the yard like a dog. He always sat lh front of the nest when his mate was setting and sometimes in the nest with her His chief diet was buttered biscuit every morning. and peaches when he could get. them He fussed continu ously every morning until he got his buttered biscuit. He was known to take care of biddies that the old hen left. Last winter he lost an eye while fighting with the cat.

Drouth Relief May Prove Big Factor in Swinging Farm Vote BV SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WASHINGTON—Party powers charged with furthering the Democratic campaign cause are wearing furrowed browa these days. The reason is that reports continue to reach Washington that, throughout the farmbelt, there is growing resentment against New Deal work-relief policies. This resentment has been ag gravated by the drouth. As dry weather effects became more in-* tensely felt, an increasing num ber of farmers were forced to i seek government help. And many of these farmers have voiced complaints about the way in which relief, whether in the form of Resettlement Administration grants and loans, or WPA work, is administered. Large-scale and small-scale farmers alike declare that the relief administrators either are unable or unwilling to distin guish between those who need work and those who do not. • • • TN most cases, they declare, a farmer, almost wiped out by the drouth, cannot obtain a WPA job unless he proves before the state relief agency or Resettle ment Administration that he is destitute. Even if it is the state agency that refuses to certify him for a WPA job, the disap pointed farmer usually holds the federal government responsible. Many farmers, complainants Mt.

If he is eligible for a loan from that agency the farmer must first ex haust his credit there before he can go to work for WPA. Given a WPA Job without be ing forced to borrow, the farmer might be able to buy what he needs in the way of additional feed and still keep his "stake’* for his family, assert critics. • • • T’HAT the administration's re A ciprocal trade program had as its goal restoration of foreign markets for American farm products seems to make little dif ference to farmers of midwest and northwest. In those sections the belief prevails that the trade agree ments have helped foreign pro ducers more than American farmers. The charge is heard again that the administration has failed to "preserve the Ameri can market for the American farmer** ; Strong argument anight be brought against these complaints, but Hwr Deal spokesmen, usu ally so adept at auch things, have remaned strangely silent. The New Dealers and Repub licans must realize by this time that the farm vote is ready to jump to either party. It will be interesting to watch in which di rection, under proddings by na ture, vis well as by politics, it will mx Wallace Declares Scarcity In 1932 CLEVELAND, Aug. 21.—OP)—Sec ret ary of Agriculture Henry Wal lace said In an address prepared for delivery at the Great Lakes Exposl lton: "Drought did not bring scarcity Into the average American home in 1934 nor will it in 1936. "The records show,” he continued, "that the real period of scarcity was in 1932. It was then, when sur pluses were greatest, that the bread lines were longest. It was then that the farmers were losing their farms, that industry was prostrate and fear and hunger rampant. It was when farmers were burning com instead of coal that city peo ple were most hungry.” SLEEPING CHILD IS BITTEN BY A BAT MORGANTON, Aug. 3!.—With the danger of infection believed past, little Benny Smith, eight months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Smith of Lenoir street, Mon day was reported as improved from what appeared to have been bites of a rat on his foot.

But Frances Farmer baa idaaa and doesn’t aaa why aha shouldt ex press them. Bhe does express them, and what’s mors: Howard Hawks, a director whose pictures long have given proof that he knows his bust nets, has accepted several of them. He says he thinks She Is one of the most Intelligent girls he has di rected. When they’re in the midst of a rehearsal and Frances thinks of a gesture or bit of "business" that might Improve her character isation, she will out with It; not impertinently. Just Inquiringly. And Hawks likes this. If he doesn't ap prove the Idea, he will tell her why But often he approves. Miss Fanner is making her fourth picture—her first role of any real importance to her. she says, Ro mancing with Bing Crosby In “Rhy thm on the Range” merely was an ingenue's assignment, In her valua tion, but the role of Lotta in “Come and Get It* Is a chance to aet. At 31 she Is intensely eerlous to her ambition, Skipped The Hard Knocks Bhe is serious about pictures, too. although her ultimate ambition is the stage. She wishes more pictures would realise their potentialities, utilise the screen medium for worthwhile ends. “Too often pictures do things that are meant to entertain—and. don't,* she says. "It’s likely a really good writer doing pulp stories.” Pretty, with uncommon poise to match, Frances Farmer won an es say contest to her home town. Seattle, Wash., which gave her a trip to Moscow. She saw Europe and met Dr. George Gladstone, who In troduced her to a theatrical pro ducer, who took her to picture soouts, who brought her to Holly wood with a contract. She skipped all the usual hard knocks of a be ginner to pictures, for after two lesser roles she drew a lead. She Also Writes Poetry "I don’t think I missed anything, though,* she say. "I don’t believe discouragement is helpful. But even so, I’ve had my share of It.” Clothes are not among her weak nesses, although she dresses as smartly as the next one. For re hearsals she prefers the comfort of a rough sweater, slacks—and tennis shoes. Omar Klam, the designer, said of her that ’’draping her with fancy clothes Is like overllghttog a cathedral.” Bhe has a quality that calls for simplicity to do it justioe, he says. Not long after coming to Holly wood Miss Farmer married Leif Erikson, a young oontract player on her home lot, who shares her in te re rest to tennis, golf and their boat. They like to "get away from Hollywood” even though they live there. She writes poetry, some of which has been published, but her prin cipal desire still is to make the grade as an actress Hollywood thinks she will. AGREE ON USES OF FUND FOR HIGHWAYS RALEIGH.
