. 2 + MINNESOTA SENATOR MAY ASK PROBE OF} LANGER CONVICTION Reads Vitriolic Letter in Which ‘Former Governor Flays Lanier, Farley Washington, Aug. 27.—(?)—Con- gressional investigation of the trial and conviction of former Governor ‘William Langer of North Dakota will be sought by Senator Thomas Schall (Rep., Minn.), early in the next ses- sion of congress, he said Monday. The Minnesota senator Monday placed in the Congressional Record a letter from Langer in which the former governor charged he had been indicted and tried by hostile juries, selected “through the careful manipu- lation of the United States district attorney in cooperation with the United States marshal’s office, all be- ing directed under the leadership of James Aloysus Farley,” national Democratic chairman and postmaster general. A personal representative of Lan- ger, James Mulloy, sat in the gallery, as Senator Schall said: “The letter seems to me to be well worth a con- gressional investigation and if I find, upon further study of the matter, facts to warrant the statement con- tained in it, I shall introduce a reso- Jution at the next session.” Reno Supporting Move Mulloy, who said he was acting as secretary to Langer and who formerly served as secretary of the North Da- kota industrial commission in the Langer administration, conferred with the Minnesota senator prior to intro- duction of the letter. He said Milo Reno, national Farm Holiday as- sociation president, is a leader in the move for investigation.” Farley's name appeared frequently in the letter of the former governor, convicted of misuse of federal funds and sentenced to the federal peni- tentiary, but whose conviction was subsequently set aside by a circuit court of appeals and a new trial ordered. “This whole law suit was started by a bureaucratic, dictatorial adminis- tration under the guidance of Tam- many Farley because they found a Republican governor who would not bend his knees,” Langer’s letter charged. Langer had previously sought to have Rep. Usher L. Burdick of Fargo Introduce a resolution in the house asking for an investigation, but the latter agreed only to offer legislation proposing to change jury selection nethods. Opposes Farm Program Recalling he had been opposed to the New Deal farm program from the beginning, Langer told Schall that Secretary Wallace had “felt a very sudden urge” during the Langer trial to visit Bismarck and deliver a radio talk in which he attacked “by insinu- ation, all those opposed to his asinine agricultural program.” The jury try- ing him was allowed to listen to this Speech, Langer said. ¢ Langer said he was “shocked” to learn that the grand jury panel which later indicted him was “composed en- tirely of deadly political enemies as well as my personal enemies.” Like- wise, he said the panel from which the trial jury was chosen consisted “without exception of men who were bitter political and personal enemies.” “I will send you also other affi- davits and testimony which are very material to this case to show the depths to which the New Deal ad- ministration under Jim Farley went In a desperate attempt to railroad a Republican governor to the pent- tentiary,” Langer wrote, “but I thank God we still have courts in this country which believe in upholding the Constitution of the United States 4s well as the laws of the land and that we have courts which cannot be browbeaten or bribed into doing the will of this New Deal dictator in Washington.” Local Curtis Manager Returns from Meeting C. N. Mourer, who headquarters in this city in his position of organiza- tion plan manager for the Curtis Publishing company of Philadelphia, Pa. has returned from a two-day convention at the home office. Mourer won the trip as a prize in a national contest in which he placed third. While in Philadelphia he was presented with his five year pin sig- nifying that he has been with the company for five years of continuous service. Following the formal con- vention session, the delegates were taken to Atlantic City, N. J., for a day's outing. Mourer, a native Da- kotan, now has traveled in some 40 states and claims that he hasn’t seen anything yet that looks better to him than his own state. A fly will travel 30 miles in search ‘of food.

KAREFREE KIWANIANS Pipe this! Organized two years ago the Bran- don Boys’ Pipe Band, featured en- tertainment attraction, already has captured several Canadian champion- ships. In age, the “boys” range from 11 to 29, the oldest being Bill Redman, out of England just 10 years and the ace drummer of the band. ‘The tall lanky Scot who directs the pipers as Pipe Major is Gordon Sin- clair, His word is law. All of the boys except Redman and his brother are of Scottish descent. To attain their proficiency, the boys have practiced every day for the last two years. When they had finished their street and stage appearances Monday night they had to report at the Patterson hotel for rehearsal. Director of the band is Bill Suther- land, a doughty Scot who is mighty proud of his boys. The Misses Lilian Bain and Mae Summers, highland dangers, both are champions in their respective divis- ions. Perhaps you noticed the shields of medals the dancers wear. Incidentally Miss Bain has per- formed under a handicap. She strained an ankle recently and Mon- day night added to he misery by having a car door slammed on her fingers. But she “carries on” in true British tradition. x & & They want that convention, do Rochester and Hibbing. Rochester's boosters are behind-the-scenes work- ers. They buttonhole the boys, tell ‘em the joys to be found in the town the Mayo clinic made famous. | Hibbing’s gang depends on the get- acquainted method. They’re great back slappers, proud of their amateur jmusicians who perform with profes- sional dexterity. And they don’t let the delegates forget that Hibbing is } famous for its iron ore, that nature’s jforest primeval is just at its back« door. And Willmar is on the job too al- though the central west Minnesota city does not appear to have much chance of landing the convention in | 1936, x k Catching the eye of convention visitors are the tobacco ash trays made of North Dakota clays and pre- sented to each delegate as a souvenir. Lacquered and baked in different colors, the trays carry the notation that the holder attended the Kiwanis convention in Bismarck. * *e * One of the local boys always on the job is F, H.

Cameron asserted a lifelong puzzle was solved by his donning of the kilts Monday night. He never had been able to figure out why Scotsmen had hairy legs before. But when the the plaids, he had the answer. “Lord of the Isles” at the stunt pro- gram, Cameron, in sotto voce, de- clared “That’s as close as you'll ever get to the Lord, Bill.” xe * were the names of those jaunty little caps the Brandon pipers wore. To the residents of the “states,” as the Canadians have it, they are “over- seas” caps. To the Scot though, they are Inverness, Glengarry or Bal- moral caps, the difference depending upon the color, the feather, the rib- bons. Each is a distinctive marking and in Scotland identified the dis- trict from which the wearer comes. * * * F. Trafford Taylor, K.

He was ap- pointed one of His Majesty's King’s Counsel in 1934, St. Boniface recog- nizes the untiring efforts of Mr. Tay- lor to unite into a harmonious co- operative community its citizenship, composed of French and English speaking Canadians, and the St. Boniface Kiwanis club is a standing recognition and testimonial of the achievement of Kiwanis ideals in this respect. He has also served in a num- ber of public offices in connection with the municipal life of the Province of Manitoba.

LABOR LEADERS Caustic Over Their Failure to Support Frazier-Lemke Refinance Act Washington, Aug. 27.—()—Labor leaders in the house were attacked Tuesday by Rep. Usher L, Burdicck, Fargo, N. D., Republican, for what he said was their failure to support the Frazier-Lemke farm refinancing bill. Unless labor picks different leaders, he declared in a statement in the Congressional Record, “the effort to associate with the farmers in a unit- ed program will utterly fail.” Burdick is affiliated with the s0- called liberal bloc in congress which concerned itself principally with measures designed to improve condi- tions of the worker and farmer. Burdick’s complaint was prompted by refusal of representatives of east- ern factory districts to sign # peti- tion to bring the refinancing measure before the house for consideration. ‘The bill proposes to refinance farm indebtedness through issuance of A.

The new orders, Knudsen said, were issued to speed up the federal works program, LOCAL WPA JOBS GIVEN SOME LEEWAY Washington, Aug. 27—(?)—Although the president fixed Sept. 12 as the deadline on all applications for a share in four billion dollar work re- lef funds, authoritative sources said leeway. They pointed out the Sept. 12 dead- line could apply to lump sums for states and cities, with PWA projects— designed to fill out relief job needs— to be decided upon later.

Canadian Farm Loss Due to Rust Is Heavy Ottawa, Aug. 27—(?)—Farmers of western Canada will lose approxi- mately $100,000,000 on account of wheat rust this year, taking 80 cents a bushel as the average price for wheat, Dr. E. 8, Archibald, director of experimental farms, believes. Dr. Archibald said western grain fields had been struck by the worst epidemic of black stem rust ever ex- perienced in Canada.
