State leaders of the league gath- ered in Washington to hear Presi- dent Roosevelt's labor record praised ‘and to receive a message from ‘the chief executive. The two major presidential can- didates, however, planned little or no campaigning for the week. After an absence of about a month, President Roosevelt came back to the capital Monday for a flood confer- ence, to be followed by a tour of Pennsylvania and New York areas hit by spring floods.

Col. Frank Knox, Landon’s run- ning mate, turned Monday to White Sulphur Springs, West Va., to com- pose his next major address, before the West Virginia Republican state convention Aug. 13. Among other high spots of the week, nominating primaries will be held Tuesday in Arkansas, Florida, and Idaho; the convention of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin’s National Union for Social. Justice opens ‘Thursday in Cleveland; and John D. M. Hamilton, Republican nations chairman, will make a radio speta at Columbus, Ohio, Friday. The week-end found Father Cough- lin, Dr. Francis E.

Aug. 10—()— TIONCHECK’S WIDOW IS DAZED BY SHOCK ‘Greatest Funeral Seattle Has Ever Known’ Planned by Solon’s Friends Seattle, Wash. Aug. 10—(#)—The young widow of Rep. Marion A. Zion- check waited corrowfully Monday for @ delegation of congressmen coming to pay their respects to a colleague. Twice since the 35-year-old con- gressman plunged to his death from @ fifth story window last Friday, Mrs. Zioncheck has visited the dimly lighted funeral chapel where the body lay in state. Comforting her was her sister, Mrs. Jesse Stitt, Blytheville, Ark. who Marivs Thompson, 70, Williston, N.

Intolerance is a good deal like par- tisanship. Persons will deny with ve- hemence that they are partisan, but they will refuse to read or listen to a speech that happens to express an opposite view. There are Republi- never listen to Mr. Roosevelt on the air, and there are New Dealers who boast that they will not’ listen to Mr. Landon. Father Coughlin himself said the other day he didn’t tune in when Governor Landon was on the radio, The unwillingness of the partisan to Usten to or read both sides is char- acteristic of every campaign, but it is rarely that a better lesson in the art of tolerance is taught than by those who themselves take extreme positions. If Father Coughlin serves no other pur- pose in this campaign than to cause those who disagree with their op- ponents or who are intolerant of op- posing doctrine to take an interest therein, it will have been a valuable service. Sunday night, said serious concern was felt for Mrs. Zioncheck who has not eaten since the night of the tragedy. “he is dazed by shock and grief,” he sald. “She hardly seems to know whether it is day or night.” The Washington Commonwealth federation, a political organization in which Zioncheck was interested, com- pleted preparations to give him “the greatest funeral Seattle has ever known.” The Senator auditorium was tentatively selected for the services. Amateur Cracksmen Are Busy on Slope Crecksmen, evidently amateurs, broke into four elevators at New Eng- land, Hettinger county over the week- end, C. A. Miller, superintendent of the state crime bureau, said Monday. At the Columbia Elevator they managed to open the safe and got $80 but at the other three elevators they left after knocking the dials from the office safes. Three elevators at Reeder were en- Not only is this matter of tolerance related to the readiness of a@ fair- minded person to listen to the.other side, but to the reading as well of positive and oftentimes passionate statements that appear in print. The true test of tolerance is whether one can read or listen to a discussion which one feels is wholly “unfair” and wholly “wrong” both in logic and fact. The carrying on of political debate is at its best when ideas are met with ideas instead of abuse with abuse. The present campaign shows signs of being centered on personalities. The public, on the whole, takes it for granted that persons who achieve the eminence of # presidential candidacy or of the presidency are fundamental- ly honest and upright and that efforts to besmirch their characters are ill- advised. . Thus it is being reported from dif- ferent parts of the country that Father Coughlin made votes for Mr. Roosevelt by his recent attack, and this may happen, in turn, with respect to independent-minded voters who, observing the attacks on Governor Landon by New Deal spokesmen, will be inclined to his Tt is an old: rule in politics that abuse of an indi- vidual turns, out to be a boomerang at the polls. Miller said, and $20 was obtained in one place. The method of operation was the same there as at New Eng- land. Miller said it looked like a “home- spun” job, perpetrated by a gang of youngsters living in that vicinity, Hughes Takes Off on Mysterious Mission Los Angeles, Aug. 10.—(?)—How- ard Hughes, millionaire sportsman- flier, took off early Monday from Union terminal in his transport “fly- ing laboratory” plane loaded with 1,250 gallons of fuel. His destination ‘was unannounced. Hughes, recently received an allot- ment from the federal government of @ special radio wave length for pos- sible use on a flight atound the world. He denied he contemplated such a project in the immediate future. “He has enough gas to take him across the continent and he may be heading for New York, or again, it may be Alaska,” said one airport of- ficial. “In that case, it would be the tered in exactly the same manner, first leg of a flight around the world.” pm Niadeat demoed. .ocostdiog DE SOTO, CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERS Of “All Three” Plymouth ¥ Commands Highest Prices | for Year-old Models— isMostin Demand! - HEN NEW, “All Three” low-priced cost about the same.

To the uninitiated, it might appear that the whole electoral college, in- stead of no part of it, must be at stake in this September gathering at| death. the polls in one of the smallest states. Statements and manifestos without end issue from the national head- quarters of the two great parties. The hardiest shock troops and the heaviest artillery are thrown unre- servedly into the fray. Maine be- comes the focus of all eyes political, the answer to the politician's prayer from coast to coast. Yet actually, nothing is involved but a few comparatively minor offices —and the reins to the bandwagon. A governor, a senator and three con- Rressmen make up a pitifully small “bag” for so pretentious a hunting expedition. But capture of the band- wagon is another thing entirely—or at least most politicians think it is. Im it Psychology Although it is not always true, the saying that “as Maine goes, 50! goes the nation” has come to have Some Democrats speak of it as a Republican invention. Since Maine is Republican in Republican years, and sometimes also in Democratic years. The facts do not even warrant an This, however, is the factual side of the business and politics very often does not rest on a factual base at all. It deals instead in theories and Psychological calculations. With re- gard to Maine, the politicians are in- terested not so much in what the re- turns actually mean, as in the inter- pretation which the public may place upon them. Cues the ‘There can be no doubt, for instance, that when Maine went Democratic in September of 1932, the event made a It did not mean, as it turned out, that the Republican national ticket had lost Maine. Furthermore, had the substantial Republican majority in Maine, there is no proof that Mr. Hoover might not still have been de- feated in the nation in November. But it did mean that the Repub- lican managers had suffered a shock and a surprise, and the psychological repercussions of that travelled swift- ly as far as Florida and California. The Democrats began to sing their victory song. The Republicans were aroused to a frenzy of effort which resulted in an apprehensive realign- ment of campaign strategy, and sent Mr. Hoover hurrying to the stump. So whatever the facts may be, whatever cold reasoning may indi- cate to the contrary, the Maine elec- tion does have its psychological effect. It decides whose bandwagon will start rolling. $28,410 Is Allocated To Sibley Island Park Washington, Aug. 10.—(#)—Devel- Opment of small sc.*.ic areas of the West and Southwest was projected by the National Parks service Mon- day as it opened a late summer cam- to extend recreational Privileges to persons of low income groups. $31,360, and Custer park, accessible to Rapid City, 20,500 acres, $27,180. $8912; Montana, Round! park, Roundup, $2407. the famous LAND 0’ NOD MATTRESS in and see them.
