INGURY TO BARE COTTON RVALRY Private Traders to Argue Against Co-operatives at Quiz Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., October 26.—The bitter rivalry between the private cot- ton trade and the cotton co-opera- tives will be aired at a senatorial in- quiry beginning here Monday. Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, was the author of the res- olution authorizing him and two col- leagues to delve into the records con- cerning financial operations between the Federal Farm Board and the co- ives in 1929-30 and 1930-31. ate cotton traders, advised by | or McKellar that any one with tion can appear as a witness, have indicated they will take the op- y to present their arguments the co-cperatives on the| of unfair competition, | igh continued use of Federal Senrators to Have No Counsel. enator McKellar and Senator ry without counsel or The other committee- or Townsend, Republican, e, will join them later m; G.

Having gained a wider perspec- tive of the crime problem by rea- son of his survey of England’s Scotland Yard, the French Surete Generale and the Belgian National Institute of Criminology, Cum- mings is expected to compare po- lice problems of those countries with those here. From this comparison, it is understood, he will point to the desirability of certain reforms in the United States—especially the need for speedier prosecution of criminals, changes in the bail sys- tem and improved co-ordination of law enforcement activities. He is known to have been deeply im- pressed by the celerity with which prisoners in England are brought to trial and by the crime-deterrent effect of the no-bail policy in France.

He is of the opinion the existing licensing law for machine guns and sawed-off shotguns does not go far enough. He would like to have all types of “deadly weapons” licensed so that the Government will have a means of checking on pistols, rifles and other “sporting” guns which are used by gangsters. JOBS INCREASED Hopkins Announces Gain of 110,737 in Last Two Days. A speed-up in the work-relief drive | was indicated yesterday when Admin- istrator Harry L. Hopkins reported employment figures showing a 110,737 gain in dole-replacing jobs in two days. Of these, only 19 were in the District of Columbia. Checking over November allot- | ments, which have been forecast as| the last Federal contributions to direct | relief, Hopkins said 1,421,470 persons | were at work on Saturday, October 19, compared with 1,310,733 on the preceding Thursday. But the two-day increase of 110,737 contrasted with a daily figure of 173,- 210, which would be required for the | drive to reach its original goal of 3,- | 500,000 jobs by November 1. In the two-week period between October 3 and October 17, however, there was a | job increase of only 184.499, or 13,178 a day. Allen Reports Jobs. Commissioner George E.

By the Associated Press. NEWARK, N. J, October 26.—Al- bert Stern, the 21-year-old hoodlum police suspected as the major execu- tioner in the bloody warfare that smashed the once-powerful Dutch Schultz mob, was found dead today in a cheap hide-away. Suicide was the tentative verdict of Chief Medical Examiner Harrison S. Martland, who said the chances that further investigation would point to- ward murder were “very small.” Described by New York detectives as “the meanest killer since Vincent Coll,” Stern, in death, looked anything but the well-paid hired assassin, His clothes were shabby and worn. There were no soles in his shoes. His room rent was unpaid. Closes Door on Clues. Stern’s death, apparently caused by illuminating gas poisoning and stran- gulation, blasted police hopes that his apprehension would start them on the “REBELS” T0 WORK AGAINST NEW DEAL Texas Leader Will Enter Precinct Drives Against Roosevelt. By the Associated Press, CROCKETT, Tex., October 26— Youthful, belligerent Joe Bailey Hum- phreys, one-time leader in the Young Democrats of Texas Club, declared against the renomination of President Roosevelt today in behalf of his rebel colleagues, the “State Rights Demo- crats.” “We pledge ourselves to enter our precinct conventions,” Humphreys said, “and there select delegates who will carry on until the Democratic party has been purged of its leaders who have betrayed the party.” Humphreys recently relinquished his executive secretary post with the Young Democrats of Texas after pro- posals he favored were defeated by a heavy majority as he attempted to blast the New Deal and champion State rights. Opposed Elliott Roosevelt. He favored the removal of Elliott Roosevelt, son of the President, as first vice president of the organization, and sided with Phil Overton of Dallas in futile attempts to have the junior Roosevelt forcibly removed. Elliott resigned—so that “a native | son can fill the position.” | Humphreys, city prosecutor of this | farm community, said he was busy with court procedure now, but once it is completed “things will start pop- ping.” He plans to stump the State for vol- unteers to his State rights group and proclaim the planks in his crusade against the New Deal. Want State Powers. “We demand that the constitutional rights and powers of the State be pre- served in full force and effect, the New Deal notwithstanding,” Humphreys said. “We demand a reduction in govern- mental expenditures, with fewer and | smaller appropriations. We demand | an adjustment of the existing tariff | laws; the present prohibitive tariff | rates be lowered that we may regain our lost markets in the world trade.” Humphreys charged the New Deal ignored the Democratic platform of 1932, He declined to estimate the present power of his group, but regular Young Democratic leaders ‘‘poo-poched” the movement.

Invites Legion to Join Forces to Present Solid Front. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 26.—A call for all veterans favoring the bonus to rally behind one bill which both the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars can support was sound- ed today by the high command of the latter group. Its National Council of Administra- tion, opening a two-day session, adopted a resolution inviting the Le- glon to send representatives to a con- ference in Washington within 30 days which would unite both organizations in one proposal for immediate cash payment. Permits Solid Front. “Acceptance by the Legion of this plan,” said the Foreign War Veterans' executive group, “would mean that veterans could present a solid front at the next session of Congress for the first time in the history of the bo- nus fight.” The statement added that differ- ences between the two groups of vet- erans over rival bils brought about defeat of the bonus proposal at the | last session of Congress. Thg Foreign War Veterans then supported the measure of Representa- | tive Wright Patman of Texas, a so- called currency inflation measure. The American Legion backed the bill of Representative Fred M. Vinson of Kentucky, which he termed a “sound money” measure. Because of the “lack of co-ordina- tion and unity among the veteran or- ganizations,” the resolution of the Forelgn War Veterans' Council said, President Roosevelt's veto of the Pat- man bill was sustained by a margin of seven votes in the Senate.

Van Zandt of Altoona, Pa., national commander in chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said his organization was willing to sacri- fice “what recognition we deserve” for being “leaders in this fight for im- mediate cash payment” during the past several years “in the interest of veterans' welfare.” Under the resolution, the Washing- ton conference of both bodies would lecting a “steering committee” ‘0 handle the fight for the bonus 1n the next Congress.

FOLLOWERS GIVE TOW NSEND VOTES BRITISHLEADERS HAIL PROSPERITY Peace Promised by Baldwin as Government Asks New Mandate. By the Assoctated Press. LONDON, October 26.— Heralding prosperity and peace as the foundation stones of its program, the national gov- ernment, tonight issued a manifesto signed by the leaders of three polit- ical parties. As Great Britain's short, swift, na- tion-wide general election campaign steamed up for the voting day, Novem- ber 14, Prime Minister Stanley Bald- win, Lord President of the Council J, Ramsay MacDonald and Home Secre- tary Sir John Simon signed a pro- nouncement calling for a new man- date for leadership. Baldwin heads the Conservative party. Simon the National Liberals and MacDonald the National Labor party (distinct from the Labor party). Simon and MacDonald are called only figureheads by their opponents, howe ever. Emerge From Depression. They asserted, in the manifesto, that Great Britain, during the past four years, had “emerged from the depths of depression to a steadily returning prosperity, with the name of Britain high in the councils of the world.” Liberal and Laborite manifestoes voicing views opposed to those of the national government were also issued. The Laborite statement called the period of the present government's power “four barren years,” while the Liberal platform did not “recognize the present administration as a national government,” because, it said, it was not supported by any party except the Conservative. Although the national government appeared likely to be shorn of its top= heavy majority in the House of Come mons, political observers expect the Baldwin regime will be returned with | & strong working majority of 150 to | 200 seats.

FALL FIGHTS EVICTION TRIES TO VACATE TITLE Former Interior Secretary Would Void Decree Giving Home Ownership to Doheny. By the Associated Press. ALAMOGORDO, N. Mex., October 26.—Albert B. Fall, Secretary of the Interior in President Harding'’s cabi- net, took action today to prevent his | eviction from his Three Rivers ranch and his wife filed a motion in ict Court to vacate a decree which gave title to his friend, the late | Edward L. Doheny. Fall, after his resignation from the Harding cabinet, later served a prison term for accept- ing a bribe, but Doheny, accused of making it, was acquitted. For several weeks the threat of eviction has faced the Falls as a result of sale of a mortgage on the ranch. The mortgage, held by interests for- merly controlled by Doheny, was fore- closed, and the property recently acquired by the Palomas Land & Cattle Co. Fall contends the ranch home itself was not included in the mortgage. MRS. JOINER WINS DALLAS, Tex., October 26 (#).—The Fifth Court of Civil Appeals held to- day that Mrs. L. A.

Three times as many projects will be approved as will be undertaken. 10,000,000 Feet of Blueprints. The Public Works Housing Division, which already has called for founda- tion bids on its entire $100,000,000 slum clearance program, said it used 10,000,000 square feet of blueprints in preparing specifications. That amount, said Director A.. R. Clas, was enotugh “to cover the Capi- tol grounds under four layers of pa- per” His division prepared 5,000 printed pages and 220,000 pages of blueprints and other documents. “All in all,” Clas said, “we required about 2,500 documents for each proj- ect in our program. The vast amount of detail required meticulous care. We had a deadline to meet, and the utmost' speed was necessary. * * ¢ The task was completed only through the willingness of our staff to give up their holidays and leisure time and to extend their working hours well into the night.” Hopkins’ employment report showed New York City, with 208,841 at work, was nearest its job quota. Pennsyl- vania showed the largest increase, but in six States, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington, fewer were at work than two days before. No P. W.

Quizzed and Released. Silverman, who surrendered, was questioned five hours and released in $5.000 bail as a material witness. He told Lieut. Thomas Dimond he met Schultz early Wednesday evening and asked for $14,000 attorney fees. Schultz, the bondsman said, told him he did not have the cash available, but would give it to him later at his (Schultz’s) Hotel. Silverman then went away and met some friends. Police checked his story and said they found no discrepancies. While he was at headquarters police put him in a line-up and brought in a masked woman, whose identity they did not disclose. The woman pointed to Silverman and said a man she had seen running from the tavern after Schultz was shot—a man who dropped shells on the sidewalk—was about Sil- verman's size. The name of Charles (Lucky) Lu- ciano, powerful Manhattan racketeer sought for questioning, cropped up again in the investigation when it de- veloped that he and three of his lieu- tenants had visited this city on the | eve of the killing. Luciano, reputedly one of the big six that came into pow- er in the racket world with Schultz’s | demise, is known in the underworld as “the boss.” Schultz, in his delirious rantings before death, told police “the boss himself” had shot him.

The walkout, which was called for 900,000 Arabs, was only partly effec~ tive. It was peaceful throughout Palestine save for a minor disturb- ance at Nablus, where some 400 Arab youths threw stones and smashed windows. No one was injured.

To the Washington winners, each of whom will get at least $1,825 at current exchange rates, good luck meant a dancing career for a loved one, a new house, an investment in Government bonds. The Associated Press reported 43 per cent of the prizes in the first round of the drawing from the huge, gayly decorated drum in Mansion House went to Americans. The sum eventually coming to this country will be boosted in all probability when the race which decides the grand prizes—the Cambrigeshire—is run at New Market Wednesday. None Here Drew Favorites.

P. J. Boiseau, 1354 Taylor street, wasn't especially thrilled outwardly. He didn’t want any publicity. A guar- antee of $1,825 couldn't raise any ex- citement for him. To Mrs. Boiseau, however, it meant another investment, “this time in Gov- ernment bonds.” Miss Anna R. Rowan, 1830 K street, also a Government worker, is afraid her horse, Romney II, may not start. “I don’t know whether I have won anything. I got the cablegram all right. But what is $1,800 toward a home? I can't see that it's much.” The fifth Washington ticket was held in the Navy Building by a per- son who used the name “Unborn | Child.” He or she holds Romney II also. Americans won seven tickets on the favorite, Pegasus. Of these, two live in New York, one in Baltimore and one each in Brooklyn, Hartford, Conn.; Cambridge, Mass, and Phila- delphia.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 26.—Dr. Francis E. Townsend's pension plan followers | today conferred on the slight 68-year- old California doctor and his princie pal aide authority to place their votes | in the next congressional and national | elections wherever they wish. The action, voted in the first na- tional convention of “Townsend plan” enthusiasts, gave the Long Beach phy- sician and R. E. Clements, 42-year-old secretary of the campaign, a political army estimated by their associates at between six and seven million men and women. Sheridan Downey of California, Upton Sinclair’s running mate on the ill-starred “E. P. I. C.” ticket in the | 1934 elections, told the 6,067 registered delegates “nobody can indorse any congressional candidates except na- tional headquarters.” Adopted With Whoops. ‘The resolution Downey proposed was adopted with whoops. Only a few | scattered “noes” came from the crowd | of oldsters, many of them over 60, | the age at which under the plan they | would retire on $200 a month from | the Government. The money would be raised by & “2 per cent transactions tax.” “The final right of indorsement and support of any candidates must rest with the national headquarters, whose approval shall carry with it the full Townsend support, and precludes any Townsend club or organization or of- fice from supporting any one else,” the resolution said. Followers of the doctor voted at the | same time to cteer clear of any “em- barrassing alliances” with either po- litical party, or “any new political party.” 10-Cent Levy Voted. How to finance the drive brought a stormy dispute, but the convention voted to levy dues of 10 cents per member monthly, on each club, rather than on individuals. Under their political marching or- ders the Townsendites would stay en- tirely out of municipal or county elec- tions. The mild - mannered, gray - haired physician who proposes the Townsend plan as a cure for unemployment and crime took no part in the business session of his first national conven- tion. Clements spoke once, urging passage of a resolution by which the Townsend Clubs voted not to buy any literature on the subject except from national offices. A third resolution left it to the re- glonal directors to certify official speakers. Judge A.
