■has been “intimidated” into falling in
line behind Farley by “tNe brand'.

There was nothing in the dispatch
from Washington in connection with
the announcement that Farley would
ispeak here November 3 to indicate
that Senator Bailey had become an.
apostle of repeal or thait Farley wouvd
even talk about repeal, although it is
generally take n for granted that he
iwtll talk about it. All that Senator
'Bailey did was to announce that
(Chairman Fairley would speak here
during the afternoon i, n November 3
and to say:
“I am sure our people will be de
iHghted to know that Mr. Farley is
coming to Raleigh, and I am hoping
they will come from all sections of
ithe State for that occasion.”
But this statement -has caused the
dry foxcest to get their backs up and
to su'rmifcfe that Senator Kailey is
(himself going to work for and vote
for repeal of the eighteenth amend

thing to do wth getting Chairman

Recalling Lindbergh 9 s First Paris Visit
Privacy is to mark the second visit of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to Paris, this time accompanied by
Mrs. Lindbergh. Scenes of the tumultuous welcome Paris gave the young flier when he spanned the At
lantic in 1927 will in no way be duplicated, because of the earnest request of Col. Lindbergh for privacy.
Pictures show the well-remembered occasion when the American hero responded to the cheers of the
Paris crowds with the late Ambassador Herrick at his side; the Spirit of St. Louis, famous plane that
made the flight, and the new seaplane of the Lindberghs in which they recently mapped a northern route
between the continents.

Disarmament conference delegates
