PRICE FIVE CENTS NRA CHIEFTAIN T0 GIVE ADDRESS AT BOSTON PROGRAM Estimates 2,000,000 Persons Have Been Removed From Ranks of Jobless SPURS DOOR-TO-DOOR WORK At Least $30,000,000 Added to! Pay Envelopes Each Week, Director Says Washington, Aug. 30.—(?)—Inten- sified striving went Wednesday into the mass movement to re-employ job- less workers and create billions of new Purchasing power under the sign of NRA’s Blue Eagle. Hugh 8. Johnson, after being tied to his desk for days on end by critical Problems of the industrial control movement, himself took the field to deliver at Boston a major address of this week’s windup campaign for Plastering the country’s store windows with the red, white and blue poster of cooperation. “We can scarcely realize that per- haps 2,000,000 have been removed from the ranks of the unemployed and are again self-supporting citizens,” was Johnson's estimate as he spurred on the door-to-door work of the volun- teer army of a million and more men and women busy up and down the land explaining the NRA agreement and obtaining pledges of support. Using the 2,000,000 figure, Johnson eaid it represented at least $30,000,000 more in pay envelopes each week. But not until after Labor Day, with its objective of 6,000,000 new jobs, will the NRA begin to assay whether its sweep netted cnough reemployment and wage boosting to give the Roosevelt recovery program its desired momen- um. Johnson left his office as labor hailed an end to non-union labor in bituminous coal fields and set about Plans to unionize workers in the auto- mobile plants. The recovery chief- tain also said bluntly that Hepry Ford either would subscribe to ‘the automobile code or “not get the Blue Eagle.” “I think maybe the American people will crack down on hit by - putting their Blue Eagles on other cars,” Johnson told newsmen regarding the automobile magnate. Some NRA officials were saying pri- vately that the wage-raising agree- ments and permanent codes of fair Practice do not yet appear destined to create sufficient purchasing power to keep ahead of higher prices resulting from the greater costs which business is undertaking for NRA. Expansion of credit through the reconstruction corporation was planned to help busi- ness bear its higher costs until mass purchasing can take over the job. WASHINGTON JOINS STATES FOR REPEAL Early Returns Indicate Only Two of 99 Delegates Will Favor Dry Law Seattle, Wash., Aug. 30.—()}—Two- | thirds of the 36 states needed to erase the 18th arhendment from the consti- tution were lined up Wednesday, Washington following 23 others into} the repeal column. None of these states which have voted favored retention of prohibition. Only one legislative district, the month, in rural eastern Washington, voted dry on the basis of available re- turns. The district will have only two of the 99 delegates who will meet Oct. 3 at Olympia to ratify the decision of the voters. ’ The popular vote from 1,924 of the state's 2,682 precincts rolled up a total ot 316,064 wet ballots to 132,359 cast for dry candidates. The state-wide total, however, had no bearing on the outcome, as delegates were chosen by legislative districts, an election ar- rangement which wet leaders attacked during the campaign. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE HASN’T BEGUN FIGHT Chicago, Aug. 30.—(P)—Although the score is now 24 to 0 against it, the Anti-Saloon League of America has not yet begun to fight, Dr. F. Scott McBride, its national superin- tendent, declared Wednesday. Dr. McBride is here for a regional conference at which superintendents of the league in a group of central states will draw up a six-point plan to battle for retention of the 18th amendment. What each point in the campaign would cover, Dr. McBride did not re- veal, but he said they would be based on the policy of “no surrender, no retreat, no compromise.” POSTPONE BOXING SHOW Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 30.—(7)— Postponement of boxing matches echeduled at the Knights of Columbus all here Labor Day was announced by the committee m1 charge Wednes- day. This postponement was made because the baseball series between ‘amestown and Bismarck teams at Bismarck at that time will take hun- areds of sports fans to the Capital City. N. D. Is King for Day at Chicago Johnson Takes to Field in Blue Eagle Drive STATE 1S HONORED President Places Henry Ford on Pan Asks For Report on Why Auto- mobile Maker Hasn’t Sign-.. ed NRA Agreement HAS VOICED NO THREATS | Though He Has Said Nothing, Indications Are Roose- velt Plans Action Hyde Park, N. Y., Aug. 30.—(%)— President Roosevelt has asked Gen- eral Hugh 8. Johnson, industrial a ministrator, for a report on the fail- ure of Henry Ford to enroll under the new working agreement for the automobile industry. Roosevelt wants the latest news on this before he departs Thursday for a vacation cruise back to Washing- ton and there is indication he is con- sidering action, although the presi- dent is saying nothing about that, and making no threats, In talking with General Johnson tt was stated that no word had been re- ceived at Washington so far from the Michigan auto-maker. Inquiries here about the use of the drastic li- censing power to impose the NRA working code on Ford brought the answer that no detailed considera- tion has been given so far to this piece of authority. Roosevelt has relied entirely so far on the voluntary cooperation of the people and he has formally declared this to have succeeded. The agree- ment fixing working hours and wages for the gigantic automobile industry was signed by the president late last week and it has the support of every ooher branch of this industry except Ford, who is remaining silent. Getting ready for a few days at sea on his return to the capital, the president expects to announce the members of oil planning and conser- vation committee to work with Sec- retary Ickes, the oil administrator, in governing this industry under: its new working code. Fourteen other members are to be chosen. COMMENT WITHHELD IN FORD'S ABSENCE Detroit, Aug. 30—()—In the ab- sence of both Henry and Edsel Ford, comment was withheld at the Ford Motor company offices Wednesday concerning the statements in Wash- ington of General Hugh 8. Johnson, that “maybe the American people will crack down on” Ford if he did ngt obtain the blue eagle. Ford has been represented by as- sociates as feeling that the automo- bile code as drawn up meant the “handing over of all industry to union labor leaders.” He has not subscribed to it. The minimum wage scale at the Ford plants at present is 50 cents an hour and operations are on an eight- hour, five-day week basis. The in- dustry's code calls for a minimum of |" 43 cents in the larger cities and scales down to 40 cents in smaller {corner ee with a 35-hour week. FILM STARS QUAKE UNDER GANG THREAT | Notables Add Guards to Homes; Four Named As Suspects in Double Slaying Hollywood, Aug. 30.—(#)—Fright- ened Hollywood notables were re- ported adding guards to their homes Wednesday while Los Angeles police declared war on gangland and named four men.as the suspected assassins of Harry Mackley and Prank Keller, former New York and St. Louis hood- lums, here Monday night. Officers said the double slaying had thrown a scare into many movie colony leaders who feared racke- teers were seeking a foothold inf filmland. Only recently Lupe Velez, Mexican screen star, notified police she had received a note threatening the kidnaping of her adopted daugh- ter and had sent the child to a school in the southern republic as a pre- caution. While Chief of Police James E. Davis organized a special “gangster squad” to ferret out hoodlum sus- pects and seek their deportation from the city, Chief of Detectives Joseph Taylor named Charles Sherman, Morris Solivinsky, Henry Sherman and Jack Weinstein as suspects in the Mackley-Keller slaying and said he would ask murder complaints against the qi The detective c! said the slay- ings were an act of reprisal for the killing of Morris Moll, also known as Morris Marks, in New York last June. Both Mackley and Moll were want- ed in Los Angeles for the murder of David Antink in 1929. Antink,/ sec- retary of a real estate firm, was shot down after he had identified five men as those who had robbed him of $25,000.

DAKOTAS ADVISORY BOARDS IN FAVOR OF DIVERSION PROJECT N. D. and S. D. Public Works Units Will Recommend Early Federal Hearing Rapid City, 8. D., Aug. 30.—(P)— The South Dakota advisory board in a joint meeting Tuesday with the North Dakota advisory board and! regional advisor, Frank Murphy, at Game Lodge, near here, gave its ap- Proval to the Missouri river diversion project .by a unanimous vote. Its action places both the North and South Dakota boards behind the Project, estimated to cost more than $60,000,000, to the extent they will recommend for it an early hearing by the federal administrator of pub- lic works.

PAUL Smoke Screen, Machine Gun, Shot Guns and Pistols Used in Daring Raid GET PACKING FIRM PAYROLL One Patrolman Killed Instantly While Another Suffers Serious Wounds South St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 30.—(P) —A police’ man was killed and an- other wounded seriously Wednesday in a $30,000 bank messenger holdup which the federal district attorney said may have been an aftermath of the William Hamm kidnaping. District Attorney L. L. Drill in St. Paul said “rumors have been current in the underworld for some time that members of the Touhy mob might come here to start trouble.” Roger Touhy and three others from Chicago are in jail in St. Paul, await- ing trial on charges based on the June Seizure of Hamm, millionaire brewery ead, who was freed on payment of $100,000 ransom after being held four days. i Other government officials suggest- ed intimidation of witnesses in the Hamm case may have been the aim.

As the bandit oar swept to a quick stop in view of the two officers and the bank messengers, Joseph Hamil- ton and Herbert Cheyne, a huge cloud of black smoke came from the rear of the car. Witnesses said the smoke obscured the movements of the bandits as they alighted. They were unable to tell whether it came from the inte- rior of the car through explosion of smoke bombs, or the exhaust, due to something having been placed in the gasoline. Messengers 21 Years Old The bank messengers, both 21 years old, had been at the local railroad depot to receive the money for the Stockyards National Bank. It had Farmers Union to Oppose Sales Tax Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 30.—(P)— In response to a question as to the North Dakota Farmers’ Union ‘stand on the state sales tax law, C. C. Talbott, president of the state organization, said Wednesday that both the national and state groups have always opposed any form of general sales taxes. “Even if I was in favor of the North Dakota sales tax, which I am not,” Talbott said, “I could take no other course than to oppose it, in view of the actions of our state and national conventions. I, as an officer of the state organization, have no choice in the matter since the organization has acted. | “The union has unanimously op- Posed the sales tax idea ever since it was first discussed. I believe it was first brought up in 1923.” Talbott explained he was making the statement only in answer to a question and not because the Farmers Union intended to make a campaign against the referred sale tax measure to be voted on at the special election September 22. LARGE ATTENDANCE FORECAST FOR 1933 LABOR CONVENTION Interest in Administration of NRA Program Keen, Presi- dent Arntson Says | | | | The largest attendance in the nis-| tory of the labor movement in North Dakota is expected at the 23rd annual state convention at Grand Forks Sept. 3 and 4, Roy G. Arntson, Bismarck, President of the state organization, said Wednesday. Interest in the administration of the NRA and the program to restore employment are expected to boost the attendance to record-breaking pro- portions, “We are pleased over the interest (labor generally is showing in the com~ ing convention,” a statement from the organization said. “It shows that la- jbor is alive to the times, that they are intensely concerned about efforts being made toward reemployment by national recovery officials. “Incidentally, it may be stated that morale of the unemployed and par- |tially unemployed is undergoing mark- ed improvement; men are taking a greater interest in their own welfare than was the case a few months ago. “Business and industry must not fail them now. Such failure on the part of business and industry in North Dakota to meet the requirements of the national recovery act might re- sult in serious reactions, “The North Dakota Federation of Labor stands pledged to do everything in its power to aid and assist in this national recovery. Its members are now serving on all important state committees, doing everything possible to speed recovery. The coming con- vention will clarify labor's position on many matters of state and national import that have a direct bearing on the interests of the employed class,” Lawrence J. Mero, Grand Forks, is |secretary-treasurer, and H. C.

Accompanied by Pavlak, Hamilton and Cheyne went from the station to the postoffice, less than a block away. Yeaman had gone down the Street to park his automobile, and returned later. The bandit car pulled up to the curb as the messengers and Pavlak came down the postoffice steps car- tying the money in satchels. As the | smoke came from the car one bandit | shouted, “Stick ‘em up.” Hamilton said Pavlak threw up his hands without attempting to reach for his gun. Two or three men hurried toward the messengers, who were ordered to “throw down those bags.” Hamilton said they dropped the satchels and threw up their hands. One raider held @ shotgun against Paviak and another took his gun from him. Uses Machine Gun In the meantime -Yeaman hurried toward the postoffice and shooting began. One bandit, who jumped/ from the sedan with what witnesses described as a machine gun, stood in the center of the street in front ot the postoffice and pivoting it, held observers at bay. Police said they believed his weapon was a sub-ma- chine gun. ‘The street was raked by gunfire as shooting went on and nearby win- dows were broken. Pavlak fell, wounded fatally, and Yeaman suf- fered serious slug wounds. Firing continued as the bandits hurried to their car and sped away. Witnesses said one of the bandits may have been wounded. They saw him stagger during the shooting, and be helped into the car by another. NET STARS TO WILLISTON Williston, N.

The statement said: “The officials and members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars regret that an attack upon the Milwaukee press by Senator Huey P.
