j o ¥ t | FUTURE SUBIECTS WATCH HEALTH OF ~~ PRINGE' OF WALES Heir to Throne Begins to Show Minor Ills With Arrival of Middle Age London, Oct. 29. — (® — Edward | Prince of Wales, has reached an age at which loyal Britons are becoming solicitous of his health as well as that of their frail and aging king. The slightest indisposition of King George has been cause for deep afix- iety ever since he was snatched from the threshold of death in his critical illness in 1929. Royal physicians have had to be most vigilant since then. Now in his Tist year, the king never regained his former strength. Middle Age Ills Appear The Prince of Wales, who began his 42nd year June 23, is beginning to have the minor ailments that come with middle age. But on the whole his health has been excellent. He has put on considerable weight in the last few years, a fact regarded by many as a good sign. He has re- duced his excursions in London night light to a new minimum. Not only British people in general, ‘but usually well informed court cir- cles, were surprised when they learn- ed he was suffering from ear trouble on his recent holiday in continental Europe. Ears, Eyes Show Strain The prince had not pre' ever made a complaint about ear trouble and his hearing was Te- markably-good. There was not the slightest suggestion of any trouble when he left London in August for ‘Cannes and the news that he consult- -ed Vienna specialists in September ‘came as a jolt. Recently the prince has suffered -from a certain amount of eye-strain. He wears horn-rimmed glasses when he bas a lot of reading or writing to do. He even has worn them once or ‘twice at public functions when he has speeches, “iad to read formal Like other members of the family, “tie prince has been susceptible to ‘bronchial or chest colds but he has never had a really serious illness of this nature. 7 Few Eldest Sons Reign Since Elizabeth's reign, only three of 14 rulers succeeding to the throne hhave been eldest sons. These were Edward VII, George IV and Charles II. Victoria was the niece of both hher predecessors. Mary, who shared the throne with William III, was eld- est daughter of their deposed prede- cessor, James II, and they were suc- ceeded by Mary’s sister, Anne. If the unexpected should happen and the present Prince of Wales never succeed to the title of “King, De- fender of the Faith and Emperor of India,” his brother, the Duke of York, only a year and a half his junior, ‘Stands as the next in line. Then, in order, come the Duke of York's young “daughters, Elizabeth, 9, and Margaret Rose, 5; the Duke of ‘Connaught, the Duke of Kent and the latter's new son.

Police expressed belief Fernekes had swallowed poison which he had some- how managed to conceal in his cloth. ing. He was found on, the floor of his cell and after a cursory examina- tion by a physician was ordered taken to a hospital. He died in police ambulance enroute. Fernekes, accused of three murders, was captured Monday by state's attor- ney’s police on Chicago's north side| as he sat in a parked automobile. Po- lice detailed to guard the “Midget” said he appeared to be in good health and they talked to him in his cell at 9 a. m. Tuesday. Police said they believed the dimin- utive killer, who served 10 years in the penitentiary before his escape, had decided to die rather than be taken back to prison. A student for many years prior to his imprisonment, po- lice said they believed he ‘may have succeeded in secreting on his person some ingredients for making poison.

Editor, Tribune: I noticed in the October 22nd edi- ition of your paper a letter concern- ling farm problems. I believe the ideas expressed in the letter will be no more satisfactory than the A. A. A. if used with our present outworn economic structure. If the ideas were carried out, as expressed in the let- ter, the farmer would get a decent price for his produce but the consum- er would have to pay more than his income would permit him, because 5 per cent of the population receive 60 per cent of the income. Also, there jwould be opportunity for graft be- cause some farmers would manage to sell more grain than their share. The jA. A. A. is benefitting the farmers at ithe expense of the consumers, the |majority of whom are underpaid. If we changed conditions so that the consumers would get decent incomes, the plan would not work successfully because it would take too many men to prevent the chiselers from flood- ing the market. Yours very truly, A Radio Expert. REPORTS ON CONVENTION Bismarck, N. D. Oct. 29, 1935. Editor, Tribune: ‘Will you kindly permit me the courtesy of your paper in reporting to your readers the activities of the largest and greatest convention ever held in the United States of Amer- ica, the first national convention of Townsend clubs in the city of Chi- cago, from Oct. 24-27 inclusive. Go- Results of a survey showed that Diminution of ready revenue, taken for granted in the “boom era,” spurred legislation in some states for more restricted spending. With but few exceptions, the states reduced ordinary expenditures. In others where balance sheets for 1934 and 35 compared unfavorably with 1929, last of the “easy money” tax years, the difference apparently was traceable to two major causes: 1, Sale of bond issues or extra ap- propriations for financing large pub- lic works projects. 2. ‘Indebtedness incurred in raising money for relief purposes. An outstanding example of the fis- cal reforms made necessary by the taxpayers’ reduced ability to pay for state outlays was Kansas’ “cash basis” law, passed in 1933, prohibiting either state or local governments from going “into the red.” Comparative figures of states fi- nances include: Minnesota: 1929—Outstanding in+ debtedness $83,370,000, general reve- nue fund, surplus $3,500,000; 1935, in- debtedness $18,000,000; revenue fund. deficit $10,500,600. (1935 taxes not yet collected). North Dakota: }929—Balance, all funds, “$13,499,000, bonded indebtei ness $34,607,000; 1934—Balance $13,- 099,000, indebtedness $41,917,000; 1935 —Balance $19,213,000, indebtedness $36,614,000. Garner Wears Shoes As He Meets Mikado Tokyo, Oct. 29.—(7)—Vice President John” Nance Garner of ,the United States appeared in ience before Emperor Hirohito’ of Japan Tuesday with his shoes on. That constituted £ answer to re- MIDGET’ FERNEKES rank, gave power and inspiration at every session. And this was the grade of people of whom the Hearst-bound press of Chi- cago spoke in veiled contempt. I was sorry for the reporters who had to sit and listen to the blistering charges made by speakers of wholesale misrep- resentations and unscrupulous methods intended to deceive. One poor fellow arose at his place and said: “Mr. Chairman, I pledge you my word of honor I will report to the best of my ability every word I hear here, but —I can not guarantee that it will ap- pear in print.” ‘How that boy was cheered! Six’ men from different points in the Union were given time on the program in which they proposed to present their objections to the plan. Not one of them appeared so the time was given to a Mr. Smith, an Indian from Oklahoma, who spoke in part as follows: “Fellow citizens: Many of you are somewhat boastful of the fact that your ancestors came over in the Mayflower. Why, bless your hearts, my ancestors were on the reception committee at Plymouth Rock to wel- come the Mayflower in.” Speaking further, the Indian said: “I'm sorry for you boys down there at the re- porter’s table. If you tell the truth about this convention you'll get fired. When the Oklahoma Railroad com- pany for whom I'm corporation attor- ney hears that I have jumped into this breach today, I'll get fired and I don’t care a whoop if I do. I have an interest in several oil wells down there besides a comfortable inheri- tance from my Dad. I’m not plead- ing for myself, but for the great army ot unemployed young men who can find nothing to do, and for countless numbers of young women who are losing their self-respect because of a pitiful wage. In the name of God let's put this Townsend Plan across.” Many other national speakers made powerful pleas for the cause but space will not permit further review. Suf- fice to say that the greatest conven- tion every held in the United States, housed in the largest hotel in the world, with its assemblage: in a bail room of resplendence, concluded its deliberations with a firm resolve nev- er to surrender until its goal is reached, fully believing that social justice and security, such as was taught by Him who drove the money changers out of the temple, can and will be attained by adoption of the Townsend Plan. Harry Hopkins and “Miss Perkins to the contrary, we're not cockeyed nor fantastic, but Amer- icans pledged to support our consti- tution and our flag which bespeaks liberty and justice for all and we in- vite you to join us in this great move- ment to end poverty. Dr. Townsend, a tribute to you: To you we pledge allegiance. You Barring War or Catestrophe, Under Farm Chief Sees net increase of only lions of dollars, by the end of the fiscal year of 1938. “By 1938, the ures of government will add up, to my figures, to $19,200,000, and the expenditures for relief and recov- ery may add up to 15 billions at the outside,” he said. “Ordinary receipts of the government will total $23,600,- 000,000. But of the 15 billions spent on recovery and relief, 37% per cent will consist of recoverables, or debts due the government. “Therefore subtract from an appare ent gross deficit of $11,600,000,000 ree coverables amounting to $5,600,000,000. I also subtract gold devaluation prof- its of three billion, From an appere ent deficit of more than 11 and one- half billions, a realistic calculation comes down to @ real deficit of three billions.” Transient Pair Is Sentenced Monday, Irving Morrison and Rey Johnson, transients, were sentenced here Mone day by Justice H. A. Bonny for receive ing stolen property and petty larceny, respectively, In connection with the burglarizing of several automobiles during recent months. A third member of the group, Rob- ert Cottrill, had previously: waived examination before Bonny and was bound over to the district court on @ grand larceny charge. Morrison was found guilty of ree ceiving the stolen property and sen- tenced to serve 10 days in the county jail. Sentence was suspended on payment of court costs. Johnson, alias Thomas Huff, plead- ed guilty to the larceny charge and was given 30 days in jail. The trio was arrested by poe lice officers and a big part of the missing property, including overe coats, rifles, stits and shoes, was ree covered. Children’s Colds Should Have This bac purrs It is may be, indeed, you have been, called upon to suffer; so were all the great souls of earth; Socrates, Cicero, De- mosthenes, Capernicus, and later, our own Alexander Bell, the Wright Bros., and the dear boy “Lindy” who was dubbed the Flying Fool—all were made to pay the penalty for new ideas. But stand firm, Doctor, millions are by your side. We will not fail, we dare not fail to put across this ing back a brief 18 months we find the name of an obscure doctor known only to a few intimate friends and others to whom he had so faith- fully ministered in times of need. Today we find that same name, Dr. Francis BE. Townsend, has become a household word in almost every home from Maine to California, and mil- lions of devoted Americans have en- listed under the Townsend banner to fight with him for economic freedom. Do you ask what manner of man is this Dr. Townsend who has suc- ceeded in arousing Americans to a sense of the danger confronting them, and who proposes a plan to abolish national poverty? He is a mild-man- nered, dignified country physician, who has devoted his entire life so far, to the alleviation of suffering. Tall and rather spare in build but with an intellect so courageous and yet 50 modest that one is simply impelled to listen io his arguments for the bet- terment of his fellow-men. And it is this great man, this prince of hu- manitarians, who sent out his clarion call to all who believe in the Golden Rule to meet him in Chicago for the first national convention of Town- fend clubs of America. To the great surprise and embar- rassment of those who had arrange- ments in hand, disciples of the cause came from every state in the Union save one to the number of 10,000 souls. The Hearst controlled papers of Chicago announced their coming with the familiar nursery jingle°of: “They come, some in rags and some in tags and some in velvet gowns.” However, they were a well-dressed, orderly, sober-minded, people, repre- senting a fine type of American citi- zenship, The convention was called to order and @ permanent organisation effect- ed by placing Senator Frank Arbuckle of California in the chair. And such & parliamentarian! No one got “out of order”—not for long with in control. He declared it | called upon to erations of that afi a #8 Only Adequate Recovery Plan.
