ESTABLISHED 1873 Georgia Primary Holds Political Stage BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1936 Spanish Loyalists Batter Ancient Fascist Fort at Toledo DEFENDERS DRIVEN [150 Off Jobs in New | Minneapolis Strike BELOW GROUND BY GUNS OF LOYALISTS 1,700 Men, Women and Chil- dren Believed to Have Fied to Subterranean Levels DIPLOMATS PLAN NEW MOVE Seek to Save San Sebastian from Ruin; French Workers Stage Sympathy Strike Interest in the Spanish civil war shifted Wednesday to Toledo where Fascists besieged in the Alcazar, Spain’s West Point, were reported on the verge of capture. Government troops have besieged the place for eight weeks and have pounded the ancient fortress with heavy artillery. Tuesday night, for the first time since the siege began there was no return fire from the be- leaguered rebels. It was assumed that the 1,700 men, women and children in the place had taken to the subterranean passages beneath it. One report had it that government troops had entered the! fort to drive them out. One repercussion of the war was had im France where 30,000 workers in textile mills went on strike for higher pay and to evidence their de- mand that the French government furnish “guns and planes” to the Spanish Socialist loyalists. Diplomats Get Busy Meanwhile, diplomats driven out of Spain by the war, contemplated an appeal to both Fascists and Loyalists to spare the resort town of San Se- bastian from the destruction which attended the fighting in the near-by city of Irun, The San Sebastian governor, who Tuesday tried in vain to surrender tie city in return for amnesty for the defenders, dispatched Anarchist zea- lots to front line trencties t6 keep them from firing the city, rather than vee it fall in rebel hands. Rebel sources claimed the capture or domination of Pasajes and Ren- verla, on the threshold of San Sebas- ti ‘There were indications in france, however, that government forces still clung to the two outposts. Diplomats Confer In London, representatives of two dozen European nations met private- ly to co-ordinate arms embargoes and other measures of Spanish non-in- tervention. The absence of Portugal, logical port of entry for aid to Span- ish belligerents, clouded the proceed- ings, however. Portugal has affirm- ed its neutrality, but Madrid Social- ists have accused it of helping the rebels. Lisbon has insisted it must retain the right to take free action in Spain in the event Communist propaganda should menace the security of its own government, Only Tuesday, Portugal put down a brief naval revolt laid to Communists, who, it was charged, tried to take two warships to the aid of the Spanish government. Consider Stringent Action The international committee, al- though considering the help of Port- ugal essential to complete success for neutrality, was expected to consider stringent action to prevent foreign enlistments and to cut off cash aid from outside to either faction. The usual victory claims came from both camps. Madrid announced “complete” sub- Jugation of Huesca, in the northeast. The rebels said they had seized Arenas de San Pedro, 73 miles south- west of Madrid, spurring the cam- paign to encircle Madrid. FATHER OF FOUR IS HELD IN EXTORTION Chicago, Sept. 9.—(7)—Frank R. ‘Thomas, 36, an insurance agent of Sanitary Problem | Puzzles City Dads Just how can a man obtain satisfactory sanitary facilities by using a hose for a sewer? The question puzzled members of the city commission Tuesday night as théy considered the ap- plication of s man named Rounds, first name unknown to them, for permission to connect an auto- mobile trailer to a sewer by means of a hose. The man is living in the trailer and intends to make it his home. He thought he could run a hose from it to the house next door and connect with the sewer there. The commissioners decided that even if it were physically feasible he couldn't do it. They will not let him. LANDON MAPS QUICK FORAY INTO MAINE, TALK AT PORTLAND Decides to Take Part in ‘First, Fighting Repudiation’ of New Deal Policies Topeka, Kas, Sept. 9.—(#)—Gov. Alf M. Landon rushed preparations Wednesday—his 49th birthday—for a dramatic dash to Portland, Maine, where he said an address Saturday night will mark his icipation “in the first fighting repu jon” of the policies of President Roosevelt. “I am going to Maine,” the Repub- lican presidential nomines‘said in an unexpected one-sentence announce- cate that state to the good: govern- ment for which it has always stood ‘and to participate in the first fight- ing repudiation at the polls of the kind of government this country has! had for the last three years.” Landon’s address will close the Re- publican state campaign in Maine. ‘The election, first in the land this year, falls on Monday, Sept. 14. The Portland address, the only for- mal speech scheduled for the New England swing, will be broadcast by the National Broadcasting company’s red network at a time to be an- nounced later. Rear platform appearances were planned in Massachusetts en route to Portland from New York City. Leaving Topeka Thursday night on the regular. Santa Fe train at 8:25 Pp. m, (CST), Landon was scheduled to arrive in Chicago Friday morning, continue via the New York Central) to New York City, ‘and there board a special train for his New England campaign, The announcement came as @ sur- prise. His campaign trip into Iowa, Minnesota, nsin and Illinois late this month had been projected as his next major foray. The deci- sion automatically canceled, for the time being, a scheduled national con- ference here Friday of Young Repub- ican leaders. National Chairman John Hamilton predicted at Chicago that the Repub- licans would carry Maine “all down the line in excess of 50,000.” Whether Landon would see Herbert Hoover, now in New York, was not known. French Textile Firms Scene of New Strikes Paris, Sept. 9.—(#)—France’s new epidemic of strikes spread Wednes- day into the great Lille textile region, with 30,000 men and women quitting work. ‘The strike was the largest to date in the new movement, with the excep- tion of a one-hour metal workers’ walkout in Paris Monday, when more mills and demanded a 10 per cent increase. The dispute also in- wage volved the election of workers’ dele- gates.

Plants Stage Walkout, De- manding Recognition Minneapolis, Sept. 9.—(?)}—A new strike took 150 workers from their Jobs here Wednesday as approximate- ly all WPA workers on a “holiday” returned to their jobs after failing to echieve wage increases. The new strike was called by em- Ployes at two storage battery plants seeking union recognition and estab- Ushment of seniority rights. Four other current labor disputes involve an estimated total of more than 2,000. Meanwhile, Gov. Hjalmar Petersen declared he will use his power to pre- vent continuance of such “costly” strikes as that of wholesale grocery truck drivers which has virtually tied up delivery of supplies to retailers. To Insist on Action “I will insist on some action within the next few days,” he added. “This essential business must go on.” { The governor has conferred with those involved in the strike and said he planned further conferences, Those employes who are members| of the federal workers’ section voted to return to work Thursday night over the protests of Workers’ Alliance officials who called the walkout last week. More than 6,000 men went on @ four-day “holiday,” after the strike call, The WPA workers were to resume work on all projects save that of the Minneapolis airport Wednesday at the same wage scale which they had been protesting. The airport workers will vote separately later Wednesday on whether to continue the strike. Mills, Groceries Crippled The industrial strike scene, with grain elevators and mills tied up and wholesale grocery deliveries crippled, continued fe the resignation of Frank J. ler as secretary of the Minneapolis employer-employe labor Miller, formerly head of the re- gional labor board, announced his’ resignation Tuesday night after the employe-employer group held a three-hour session discussing aspects of the strike of truck drivers at 16 wholesale grocery firms. He gave no reason for his resigna- tion, At the same time the workesr of 30 grain elevators continued picket- ing that Miller maintained was inimical to settlement of that strike. RECOUNTS HIT-RUN DEATH OF TEACHER Tears Glisten in Friend’s Eyes as She Relates, Death of Miss Bristol Minneapolis, Sept. 9.—(#)—Tears glistened in the eyes of Miss Mildred Bennett, as she told investigators for the Hennepin county attorney's office | cf the hit-run death of her friend, Miss Margaret Bristol, 32-year-old Luverne school teacher, whose body was taken to Hunter, N. D., Wednes- day for burial. “I was in a car for Miss Bristol to cross Hennepin avenue to the Great Northern station about 7 p. m., Sunday,” Miss Bennett re- lated. “She was going to find out about train departures for Luverne. “Suddenly I heard a thud and look- €d around just in time to see a speed- ing coupe drag her body for 60 feet along the pavement before she was flung loose from the car. “I screamed at a man standing nearby and pointed after the fleeing automobile. He leaped on the run- ning board of a taxi and followed the car. Margaret was lying in a crumpled heap in the street.” Accompanying the body of her friend to North Dakota were a brother, Charles R. Bristol of Iowa City, Iowa; her widowed mother, Mrs. Katherine Bristol of Luverne and a sister, Mrs. G. B. Cox of Galesburg, victim, is expected to be an import- ant witness when William G.

Deputy Chief of Detectives William Collins said authorities were virtually ready to rule out a possibility that the child may have been injured through some mishap and his body concealed in the vicinity. An army of Boy Scouts combed an area of 10 square miles adja- cent to the park and found noth- ing. As s belief that the missing child was kidnaped grew, investi- gators said they expected federal agents would become active in the case, A woman told police she saw a tall, thin man run from the park with a baby in his arms while the older Browe boys were seeking their missing brother. WM, LEMKE ASSERTS AMERICAN RECOVERY IS ‘ALL ON PAPER’ Cites 12,000,000 Unemployed as Nation’s Biggest Pres- ent Problem Flint, Mich., Sept. 9—(#)—Rep. Wil- liam Lemke of North Dakota, presi- dential candidate of the Union party, said in a speech prepared for deliv- ery before a rally of the Farmers Union here Wednesday that “what we seem to have in this country today is a recovery that is all on paper.” “After three and one-half years of New Dealism we still have 12,000,000 unemployed in this country,” Lemke id. “All of the so-called business in- dexes ... point how far we have gone towards recovery. Iron and steel production is up, freight car- loadings are increasing, lumber pro- duction is up and stock prices are up.... Unemployment Is Problem “All this sounds very encouraging, but we must still face the fact that we have 12,000,000 unemployed. In other words, what we seem to have in this country today is a recovery that is all on paper. We have had little recovery in terms of reducing the number of unemployed.” Declaring that as long as farmers were unable to produce at a profit, misery. and unemployment would exist, Lemke advanced one plank of the Union party platform as an example of the aid he proposed to give agriculture and industry if elect- ed. Protection of Farmer h 7 of the platform... said, “Congress shall Territorial Pioneer Dies at Grand Forks DEAL FARM POLICY, IDLENESS OF LAND Declares Dairy Industry Kicked Around Like Football Last. Three Years ‘SUBSIDIZED COMPETITION’ Republican Party Expected to Announce Agriculture Pro- . gram in Few Weeks Cokato, Minn., Sept. 9.—(#)—Col. Frank Knox, Republican vice presi- dential nominee, Wednesday declared the dairy industry “has been kicked about like « football for three and a half years.” In an address prepared for delivery ‘at Cokato, the first point in his swing through the northwest, he sald farm- ers in all parts of the nation were forced to find a new use for land left idle by the AAA, “They decided the dairy business was a pretty good business to go into,” he added. “The effect of the AAA was to force upon established indus- ies @ new and subsidized competi- ion, “On top of that came the drouth. At this point the present administra- tion decided to make it a little harder for you by going into the reciprocal treaty business and encouraging the importation of products that com- pete directly with yours.” Landon to Be Specific Col. Knox contended some of agri- culture's difficulties could be solved by wise legislation and promised Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican presiden- tal candidate, would detail “specific measures” of his party’s farm pro- gram within the next few weeks. “I consider farmers human beings, not something to be experimented on,” he said. “I consider them home dwellers, not something to be moved around, from. place.to .place,.even.to Alaska, Solution of the farmers’ prob- lems does not lie in tricks performed by magicians down in Washington. Give the farmer a chance and he will work out his own problems. He can- not do that if he has to farm by af- fidavit. “The Republican party {s not going to pull up crops by the roots. It is not going to pay anybody for not producing anything. It is not going to give million dollar checks to a Hawaiian corporation of New York banks, Plan Definite Program “It is going to offer a definite pro- gram of soil conservation and with- drawal of sub-marginal land. It is going to see that dairy products com- ing into this country pass @ quaran- tine that guarantees their freedom from disease or contamination. It is going to do all it can to preserve the family type farmer.” Col. Knox saw much promise in the cooperative movement. “There is too great a difference be- tween what the farmer gets and what the consumer pays,” he said. “There are too many people taking a profit between the man who makes the product and the man who eats it. The | ism, cooperative marketing movement is aimed at this very problem.” Need Different Basis He said he was instrumental in es- tablishing cooperative association in New Hampshire after studying similar organizations in Denmark’ in 1921. He held the United States was too large for the Danish type of co- operative, adding: “The successful cooperative in America must be built on a single commodity basis and must operate within limits which permit unified cooperative management.” Col. Knox, fresh from a stumping tour of New England, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, appeared here on the first leg of a trip designed to take him to Minnesota, South Dakota, ‘Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washing- ton and Oregon.

E f 8 4 : #825 ( H il ge Hitler Announces 4-Year Pro- gram, Embracing Aggressive Colonial Demands (Copyright, 1936, by Associated Press) Nurnberg, Germany, Sept. 9.— Reichs Chancellor Adolf Hitler Wed- nesday proclaimed a four-year pro- gram, embracing aggressive colonial demands, aimed at the goal of making Germany economically independent of the rest of the world. The proclamation, sounded sudden- ly before 800,000 Nazis assembled in fcurth annual convention, disclosed Der Fuehrer has signed decrees re- organizing the national economy and hiking the planned production of all industrial, and agricultural products. Their realization, he declared, “is cnly a question. of our energy and Cetermination.” “Our colonial demands,” the proc- Jamation went on, “are part and par- cel of this program. “We must build up our raw ma- terial forces.” Seek to Build Exports The “raising by bootstraps” decrees also contained schemes for increas- ing German exports, but the details were not disclosed in the proclama- t:on, which was read by Adolf Wag- ner, the Bavarian Nazi leader. Wagner, who imitates Hitler's voice so perfectly that it seemed as i Der Fuehrer himself were speak- ing, made politically independent in the last your years; hence the next four would be devoted to economic inde- pendence, In the proclamation, Hitler de- clared the directness of Nazi princi- ples had been demonstrated by “our constantly recurring successes” in the midst of a troubled world. Praises Own Achievements Praising at length the industrial and economic achievements of his regime, Der Fuehrer pointed with pride to his building program and, extolling “re- generation” of German arts, observed: “This occurred without # single Jew being in a position of influence.” The reading of the announcement was interrupted for a long time by heils when Hitler emphasized “the shackles of the Versailles treaty have been n” and declared the army, navy and air force were capable of defending Germany against all en- emies, He contrasted “unrest” elsewhere in the world with the “peaceful” Olym- pic games in Germany and added: Minding Own Business “Even the Jewish scribes can no longer le about us. What we have achieved we have done at nobody else's expense. If other nations had attended to their own business, there would be a stronger community of interest in Europe today.” Hitler's proclamation also ripped Sharply into communism, declaring in grave words that “bad times reign all about us,” It was expected the details of the four-year économic plan would be dis- closed at subsequent sessions of the convention, Earlier, pointing a warning finger at Spain's bloody civil war, Julius Streicher, high priest of anti-semit- told assembled Nazidom that Germany “is determined not to tol- erate the organized and systematic destruction of civilization.” Informed French sources said France would insist on keeping the African colonies taken from Germany “at any price” despite Germany's growing military strength.
