Roosevelt, Or

By LESLIE EICHEL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
Cleveland, Oct 6.—Readers often ex
press doubt that a writer in New
York can get the view of the people
of America as a whole. That is the
reason this writer mingles among the
people.
One of the foremost subjects of con
versations is tlie recent radio address
of Roosevelt.
If casual conversation of the people
means anything, that address struck
a favorable chord in this regions.
One mai. who formerly was an A1
Smith supporter, >sums upmuch of
the opinion that is voiced here:
President Roosevelt will have to
go through with the New Deal to the
end—tho people depend upon it. And
there is great danger unless he does
gothrough with it. The millions who
sti'l have no work are a factor —a

Memphis Hearing
To Plan Code On
Seed Crushing
Washington, Oct. 6. -(AP) Secre
tary Wallace today set October 15 as
the date for a public hearing at
Memphis, Tenn., on a proposed code
for the cottonseed crushing industry.
The code for the 469_ cottonseed
crushing mills in the cotton growing
states provides for a market news
service under control of a disinterest
ed agency, with all prices for seed
end cottonseed products to be posted
in a conspicuous place on mill pro
perty and reported promptly to the
agency.
The agency would be required to
give adequate publicity to such pr *e?
and to calculate a composite price or
the products of a ton of cottonseed,
making it possible to determine the
gross margin between the price of
seed and the volume of its product.
Kidnaping
Dean Boys
Is Feared
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 6—(AP) — The
pitching brothers Dean today suffered
the penalties of greatness—a police
guard.
It all came about because of Dizzy’s
indiscretion when he was leaving
Sportsman's Park after the ball game
yesterday. Two smartly dressed young
men offered to give him. a lift back
to the hotel in an automobile which
bore New York license plates. Dizzy
promptly hopped in.
Sam Breadon, president of the Car
dinals, witnessed the incident and
sent a frantic messenger after his pit
ching ace.
“(Do you know those men?” de
manded Breadon when the messenger
returned Dizzy in tow.
“No, they’re just fans,” replied
Dizzy. “The’re going to give me a ride
back to the hotel.”
Maybe that is all they were, but
Breadon lectured the pitcher about
gamblers and kidnapers and sent him
back to the hotel in a taxicab. After
that he called police and arranged for
a guard.
"Shucks,” said Dizzy, “nobody’s go
ing to kidnap me. Not in this town.
Even if they did, that wouldn’t do
Detroit no good. Less’n they took
Paul, too, and T guess two Deans
would be more than they could han
' die.”

Raleigh. Oct. 6—The question of
teachers’ salaries and the possibility
of increasing them is in danger of
becoming a political football, if it has
not already become one, according to
observers here as the result of the
one-man publicity campaign being
waged by Attorney General Lennis G.
Brummitt in favor of his plan, which
is merely to raise the salary sche
dule for teachers. His theory that if
the salary schedule is raised, even if
the State does not have the money
with which to pay it, that the Federal
government will step in and pay the
balance needed out of Federal Emer
gency Relief funds.
“If Mr. Brummitt can show me how
the State of North Carolina can get
as much as five cents from the Fed
eral government for the public schools
in North Carolina by merely raising
the State salar schedule for teach
ers, I will not only vote to raise it

Union After Union
Signs for Walk-Out
as the Government
Acts Quickly
Havana, Oct. 6.—(AP)— Strike pro
moters added union after union to
the general walk-out pledged today
as the government, outwardly apathe
tic for days, appealed to the workers
for support.
The strike, originally planned by
the communistic labor union for Sun
day night, may start tonight. Jose
Riera, president of a railroad brother
hood local, was arrested last night on
a charge of spreading strike propa
ganda. Leaders informed the govern
ment the strike would hgein tonight
unless he is releasde.
Among the unions now pledged to
strike are those of the dock workers,
busmen, tram men, togacco workers,
railroads, light, power, water and gas
employees and sugar mill workers.
Left wingers in the communications
department endorsed the movement
on condition other government de
partments do likewise.
The attitude expressed in a state
ment issued after a special cabinet
phatic yet displayed b the government
session last night was the most em
phatic yet displayed by the govern
ment against prolonged terrorism
and agitation. It came soon after un
confined reports that Sargeo Carbo.
head of the national revolutionary
party, was about ot seize power.

Madrid, Oct. 6.—(AP) —The dead in
Spain’s extremist rebellion mounted
to 104 persons at noon today, with at
least 350 wounded, as machine guns,
rifles and pistols obliterated a govern
ment statement that tranquillity had
been restored.
At dawn the death list stood at 93,
and the government of Premier Ale
jandro Serroux, against which the
anarchists, communists and socialists
had declared war, stated the general
strike was a failure, and that troops
were being withdrawn from most of
the battelfronts of the last wto days.
Certainly the extremists renewed
battle. Eleven more persons were kill
ed in clashes during the morning.
Trouble in the mining region of As
turias accounted for six of the morn
ing dead. In Madrid, a hoy of 14 on
his way to school, and an unidenti-
fied laborer were killed when caught
in a cross fire between extremists
and guards.

Think NR A
To Survive
In A Form
Big Business Wants
It To Survive As Its
Own Concession To
Labor
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(Central Press Staff Writer)
Washington, Oct. 6.—One reason
exists to justify the propnecy with a
fair degree of confident,that NRA
will survive indefinitely—still as
NRA. or as NRB, or uneer whatever
other alphabetical designation it may
evolve for itself, but as NRA in ef
fect, regardless of the capital letters
it is described by.
This reason is that big business
wants it to survive.
Big business wants it to survive ou
the grounds:
1. —The act of Congress by which
NRA was created suspends anti-trust
laws.
2. —The collective bargaining clause
in the NRA act is regarded by b
business men as representing about
the minimum concession with v
they recognize labor will be even
semi-satisfied; they are indisposed to
have it tinkered with, lest it be tink
ered into something involving radical
concessions to the workers.

INTENTION IN DOUBT
Perhaps Congress didn’t intend,
when it established NRA, to pass a
piece of legislation in the interest or
big business.
Senator Gerald P. Nye of North
Dakota, for example, says that nt
didn’t. Senator William E. Borah, o*
