! GREEN PLEDGES AID INKIDNAPING PROBE Influence of Federation Promised in Prosecuting Ab- ductors of Organizers. By the Associated Press. ELIZABETHTON, Tenn., April 8.—| ‘The influence of the American Federa- tion of Labor and all its allied organi- zations was pledged yesterday by Wil- liam Green, president of the federation, to the prosecution of alleged kidnapers of two labor organizers, who charge; several Elizabethton citizens with rorc- ing them to leave town. Green's promise was made in a speecll delivered here yesterday afternoon to| more than 3.500. Shortly before he made his speeclu 3 Green talked with the two organizers, | Edward McGrady and Alfred Hoffman, heard their version of the incident | which brought him from Washington to | Happy Valley and then made his pub- lic pledge. The alleged attempted kidnaping of | John B. Penix, federation representa- tive, who organized a local of the United Textile Workers of America during re- cent strikes here, was referred to by all the speakers. Applause Ts Orderly. ‘There were no demonstrations other than orderly applause. Workers from nearby rayon plants packed the audi- torium. Many only recently returned to their jobs after a brief strike, which was the reason for the organizers’ pres- | ence here. In addition to Green, Maj. George L. Berry, president of the International Pressman’s Union: Paul Ayman, Chat- tanooga, president of the Tennessee Federation of Labor and W. C. Birth- wright, secretary of the State Federa- tion, spoke at the meeting. - “They must be puny minded men. who think that by kidnaping two of our representatives, they can destroy your faith,” Green shouted in his talk. “When your rights are assailed, when violence is used to attack the freedom and liberty of your people bv men gov- | erned by passion, the millions repre- sented by the Federation of Labor rise | to your defense,” Green said. “The perpetrators of this outrage will , be brought to justice. * * * They will find out whether crimes of that kind | can be committed and go unpunished.” | Green Sees Quick Action. Green was confident action would be taken immediately. He said prosecution would be institufed if Hoffman and | McGrady were able to identify positive- ly the members of the group which selzed them. Both have said they rec- ognized most of the men. “They will be prosecuted to the full- est extent in civil and criminal courts,” the labor leader said After his address, Green held a con- ference with union leaders. They said they intended to confer with Hoffman | and McGrady and p list of “other alleged two said had a_part in the alleged kidnapings. Six Elizabethton business men have been charged with felonious assault in conection with the incidents. Long before Green arrived, the audi torfum was filled, amplifiers were in- stalled outside, and many persons sat or_stood on_the mountainside. Berry spoke first and said “we de- nounce and repudiate the maiicious and | un-American conduct of those responsi- | ble for the kidnapings.” TEN-TON TRACTOR USED AS FUNERAL CONVEYANCE Frost Makes Two-Mile Stretch of Road -Impassable for Au- tomobiles.

The first official action of the newly elected citizens’ advisory council will be a call on the District Commissioners probably late this. week. The members will be introduced by Dr. George D. Havenner, chairman of the council. The members of the council will not take an oath of office. This was dis- carded last year after Commissioners by représentatives of the | the Merchants and | Manufacturers Association, the Chamber of Commerce and the Bar Association. The complaint was made that the oath gave the council members A quasi-offi- cial standing at the District Building not enjoyed by the other organizations. Facing a Busy Year. ‘The council is expected to put in an | unusually busy year this year. One of | its members, Charles I. Stengie, a for- mer member of Congress from Alabama, who was elected to a second term Sat- | urday night, said today he will endeavor to have the council get to work on a program_covering all District bulding | needs and see if the program can be enacted into legislation by constructive efforts. “In the past the council has seldom met except while Congress was in ses- sion,” Mr. Stengle sald. “and then it took up District bills introduced and re- ported on them, usually unfavorably. 1| think the council ought to be a positive racher than a purely negative body.” Ample Authority Claimed. Mr. Stergle says he believes the coun- cil has ample authority under its con- stitution to pursue the line he has in-| dicated. There was some objection mn the Federation of Citizens' Associations, which named seven of the nine mem- bers of the council recently, to the | council overstepping its constitutional bounds, but the majority sentiment is believed to favor Mr. Stengle’s idea. Under the constitution the council is an advisory body to put the Commis- sioners in touch with public sentiment on questions confronting the clly heads. | AR R Gen.

And gums, lmdermmn- ished and under-exercised, soon surrender to dread diseases that ravage health and often destroy teeth. To prevent this, avail your- self of the best care that modern dentistry offers. Place yourselfin the hands of your dentist at least twice a year. And brush your gums when you brush your teeth, every morning and night. But for this purpose—use Forhan’s for the Gums . . . the dentifrice designed to help firm gums and keep them sound, thus pro!ecling them from the attack of disease. Use Forhan’s regularly. You'll be delighted with the way lt makes your gums look and feel. In addition, you'll notice that it effec- tively and safely cleans teeth and helps to protect them from decay. Get a tube of Forhan’s—today! Forhanys for the gums own teeth? Unless you take preventive measures now, the day is coming when you may know, to your sorrow, that the true meaning of the phrase “artificial denture” is often the extravagant price of self-neglect— false teeth.
