Commissioner of Agriculture \V.
Kerr Scott said this state not on

The commissioner praised the
work of the extension department
but explained adequate marketing
funds are needed "to protect our
great and wise expenditures in
production and research."
"With Tar Heel housewives buy

out-of-state, and Western North
Carolina well suited to poultry
production, the matter of supply

for the production specialist as
well as the marketing expert.
"We cannot afford to neglect
our home market, yet frequently
North Carolina produce is sent to
New York before it finally reach

We have been guilty of buying
Washington apples, when here in
Western North Carolina we grow
some of the finest apples in the
world. It all means our competi

and we have been negligent in
furnishing men to promote ap

In another address along simi

grange master, told the farmers
they will never receive their share
of the consumers' dollar until they

So-called 'Purge' Challeng
ed by New Yorker as
Stepping Stone
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—(UP)
—President Roosevelt's so-called
"purge" of anti-new deal mem
bers of congress last night, was
challenged as an "escalator to dic
tatorship'' bv Rep. John J. O'Con
nor. Now York Democrat, and one
of the principal fieures on the
president's "purge list."
Taking issue directly with the
president in a speech prepared for
delivery over a Columbia Broad
casting network, O'Connor bitter
ly assailed the "attack on me and
other members of congress" as a
"challenge to oui system of gov
ernment" and virtually accused
Mr. Roosevelt of aspirations to
become a dictator.
O'Connor referred to President
Roosevelt's reading of an editorial
from the New York Post, support
ing th,2 presidential "purge" of
anti-new dealers, in which the
president remarked that it could
be interpreted as coming from
him.
"I paid no attention to the in
sulting editorial until the presi
dent adopted the malicious, un
founded statement as his own ut
terance," O'Connor said, adding:
"It is difficult to believe the presi
dent would himself speak the same
language as that editorial, includ
ing: the word 'pickle'."
The remark referred to a part
of the editorial, printed in the
Auirust 15 issue of the Post, which
said: "Week after week O'Connor
labors to tear down new deal
strength, pickle new deal legisla
tion."
SAYS GOVERNMENT, NOT
CAREER AT STAKE
O'Connor declared that the is
sue placed before the country by
Mr. Roosevelt is: "Will the purge
work in America?"
"The word 'purge' has been im
ported from foreign sources," he
said. "It is brand new in Amer
ica."
"It is not the challenge to me
personally that matters. The pres
ident's attack on me and other
members of congress is a chal
lenge to America in its present
form of government: It is an es
calator to dictatorship.
"The repetitious disavowal of
any desire to become a dictator
cannot be taken at full faith when
actions evidence to the contrary.
No 'dictator' in Europe would for
one moment admit he is a dic
tator. They all palaver and prate
honeyed words about 'democracy'
and justify their every act—no
matter how drastic—as for the
best interest of their 'free' people.

ENLISTMENTS
IN SPAIN'S WAR
QUESTIONED
Bridges' Asserted Relations
With Government Arc
Further Aired
SAY EFFORTMADE TO
BALK TESTIMONY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. <UP>
The house committee investiga!
ing un-American activi'ies today
called on Attorney General Flo
mer Cummings to investigate re
cruiting of Americans to fi^ht in
the Spanish war.
This action was a prelude to
resumption of the committee's in
vestigation of the charges th.ii
federal officials protected Harry
Bridges when the west coast CIO
leader faced deportation proceed
ings as a communist.
A "key" witness charged ye.>- •
terday in an affidavit filed with
the house committee investigating
un-American activities that a f,<v-t
Angeles attorney offered him
$500 to flee to Mexico because he
has evidence purporting to link
Harry Bridges, west coast Com
mittee for industrial Organiza
tion leader, with the Commiini t
party.
The allegation was made by
Irvin A. Markheim, Los Angelr*
communist, who swore that A. I.
Wirin, the attorney, made the of
fer last July 19 a few minute.;
after he had held a "face-to-fare"
conference with Bridges in the
Los Angeles office of the Amen
can Civil Liberties union.
Committee Chairman Martin
Dies, D., Tex., placed the affi
davit in the record shortly aftei
Margaret A. Kerr, representiiiR
the Los Anglees Better American
Federation, chaiged that eoini
dential information given her •«}
Markheim on Bridges had "l«ak
ed" mysteriously after beinir 'urn
ed over to federal authoritM-?
while efforts were being made to
deport the Australian-born lab-n
learlor
Miss Kerr testified that .Marl;
heini gave her affidavits, inelud
ing a photo copy of Bridges' al
leged Communist party memb» i
ship card, and said she sent them
to the labor department and the
late Senator Royal S. Copeland.
whose committee at that time was
inquiring into labor strife in th«»
merchant marine.
She related that on the sam*
day that the labor department <>t>
tained the information, Bridges,
according to west coast newspa -
pers, left "hurriedly" for Wash
ington, and that Markheim was
"threatened" shortly afterwatd
for signing the affidavits.
In Markheim's latest affidavit,
he said he conferred with Bridges
and Wirin in the attorney's »>f
fice, which is headquarters fortho
Civil Liberties union, and that the
labor leader left first. After
Bridges departed, the affidavit re
lated, Wirin remarked:
"We have knowledge of your
affidavits. I am empowered to of
fer you $500, also expenses, to
go to Ensenada, Mexico, where I
want you to stay until I notify
you to come back."
Markheim said he rejected the
offer.
The Kerr testimony and Mark
heim's affidavit were brought out
in connection with charges by the
committee's investigator, Edward
F. Sullivan, that labor depart
tnent officials gave "aid and ad
vice" to Bridges while efforts
were being made to deport him
as an alien and communist.
Bandits, Police
Shot In Battle
BOSTON, Aug. lit (UP)-Two
bandits and a policeman were
wounded in a gun battle at a
Brighton House shortly after a
$6,000 payroll robbery in n«-aiby
Cambridge late Thursday.
The men, answering the de
scription of the masked pair that
had forced Cashier Joseph A
Kiley, 34, of the Jordan-Marsh
company, a Boston department,
store, to hand over a satchel con
taining the money, had b^en
cornered in the house within *
few minutes after a police rado
alarm had been given.
The entire payroll was recover
ed by police after it was dropped
by the fleeing pair.
