(By /ssociated Press)-— | The strike over craft and indus- trial unionism has created a schism in the American Labor movement. | For half a century, the American | | Federation of Labor has ruled over | organized labor. Its rule is now endangered. The schism came when the craft | unionist- controlled Executive Coun- | \(H of the Federation suspended ten | unions associated in the commit- | tee for industrial organization.

THE DROUGHT Republican Chairman Hamilton, on a tour of the Western States, said at Bismarck, N. D. “The political henchmen of the Roosevelt Administration are whis- pering that the Dakotas and the drought areas are ‘in the bag. the bag,' if you please, because the Government has done its bounden duty.” The farmers in the arought area, Hamilton said, “need not barter their suffrage”; “they are entitled to relief.” On the following day, at Hyde Park, the President discussed his plans for a tour of drought areas to give the work of relief and re- habilitation his personal attention. He ‘will Teave around August 25 The President has asked it there was any political motif to his uip. Obviously annoyéd at the question, he replied: “It is a greal disservice to the proper administration of any gov- ernment to link up human misery with partisan politics.” At a later press conference, he outlined his plans to confer with | the Goyernors of States in f{he drought area, to discuss co-opera- | tion between the Federal govern- ment and the States. In announc- , ing the list of states whose Gover- inurs would be invited to the con- ference, he calmly mentioned Kan- sas. | - ‘From Topcka | calm Treply: | “If there is any meeting any- where at any time of benefit to Kansas I will attend as Governor of Kansas. “Kansas has cooperated In every instance with the Federal govern- ment and dll its agencies dealing came ures.

But it was of secondary conse- quence in comparison with Spain. Internally, after three weeks of relentless warfare, the Fascist- military revolutionary forces were still far away from their purpose: The capture of Madrid and the establishmient of a Fasclst dicta- torship. Instead, the Liberal-Leftist forc- es united behind the democratic government of President Manuel Azana were on the offensive. Internationally, there were grave| fears and concern in the' chan- | cellories of London, Paris, Moscow and other capitals. There was no belittling the portentiousness of the Spanish crisis as it affected the peace of Europe. The Socialist government of Pre- mier Leon Blum in France, its sym- pathy' for the Loyalist forces in Spain ' quite apparent, officially | proclaimed a policy of strict neu- | trality. To keep the warfare isolated in Spain, the Blum government pto- posed a general European ncu- trality agreement. Britain, Soviet Russia, Portugal, Belgium and Czechoslovakia quickly assented. Italy replied with an agreement| “in principle”, while the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler delayed un‘ answer to Paris. The official at-| mosphere in Germany was filled with enmity toward the Azana re=) gime The Nazi-controlled German press was filled with sensational stories| of the execution of four German| | youths in Barcelona. The youths, | the Wilhelmstrasse charged, were shot down by a ‘“Revolutionary Marxist Tribunal.” Three of the youths weve Nazis.

The Dictator defended his regime with the charge that it was necessary to prevent Commun- ist control of Greece. Martial law was declared streets of Athens were patrolled by heavy squads of soldiers. Many and Liberals charged with being Communists were ar- rested. There was another factor report- ed behind the dictatorship. Some bservers believed it was created by King George in his desire to work in closer collaboration with Ger- many. Under the Constiution, giv- | ing the Liberals and Leftists free political play, this would hardly | have been possible. THE OLYMPICS The United States held a com- ‘mandmg position in the Olympic Games in Berlin, dominating the track and field events. Much to the distaste of the Ger- man Nazis, Jesse Owens and others of the negro race on the American team were greatly responsible for this. Owens, of Ohio State, was the outstanding performer. He won three championships. The | , Adolf Hitler, on the opening day 0f .av gawes, esiablished a prece- dent in personally congratulating the winners of the first events. It was assumed this practice would continue throughout the games, but Hitler dodged every opportunity to extend his personal congratulations to Owens and other negro cham pions. The Germ: press reflected the attitude of the Nazis, and have begn proclaiming for years their doctrine of Nordic superiority. One newspa- per said the United States team, in fact, was of inferior guality and would have made an exceedingly poor showing had it not been for its “black auxiliary.” The Nazis were-forced to suffer other humiliations. In recent months, they have been preaching the doctrine that the woman's place is purely in the home. They have frowned on female participa= tion in athletics. However, a size- able portion of the German points came from their women champions. A e e A very superior chicken dinner was served recently by losers in a Cordova clay-pigeon shoot to the winning quartet. The dinner cooked and served was the losers’ penalty, which they liquidated very satiz- factorily. 8: with this GENERAL ELECTRIC RANGE G-E Hi-Speed CALROD Heat- ing Units make ‘electric cook- ing faster and cheaper.
