LEMKE ASSAILS WALLACE S PLEDGE Corn Belt Told “True Story” of A. A. A., and Both Old Parties Scored. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, June 29.+— Representative William Lemke, the Union party’s presidential candidate, wooed the support of corn belt farm- ers today with an attack on Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and a “guaran- teed cost of production” pledge. Lemke chose Wallace’s home town— Des Moines—to open his Midwestern drive. Offering his version of the “true story” of the A. A, A. and its processing taxes, he declared: “The Secretary of Agriculture reached his long, vandalous fingers into the farmer's pocket and took-out a dollar. Finally he slipped a dime back in the other pocket, and through his propaganda department shouted ‘look at the dime I gave you’ so loud that the farmer forgot the dollar he took.” Old Parties Assailed. He assailed both Democratic and Republican parties in addresses here and at Burlington. He asserted: “With either party in power in the national administration—I'm not speaking of Congress—you'll get Wall Btreet back of the scenes.” Lemke also moved to present his case through his campaign manager, Representative Usher Burdick. a col- league from his home State of North Dakota, before the annual convention of the National Farmers’ Holiday Association. Burdick was scheduled to speak before the organization at St. Paul, Minn., tomorrow. The asso- ciation, sponsor of farm strikes in 1932 and 1933, called for formation of a “united front” of agricultural groups in 25 States as it prepared to listen to the new party's overtures. Brainless Trust Hit. Speaking under auspices of the National Union for Social Justice and the Townsend clubs, Lemke promised to “kick out the brainless trust” guarantee farmers production costs and adequate security of the aged “when I become President.” He charged the Agriculture De- partment was manned by ‘“ecurly- haired boys from Boston who wouldn’t know the front end of a pig from the other extremity,” but added: “We haven't suffered three long years, but seven long years. The pre- vious administration suggested the policy of destruction and the present administration carried it out.” He invited Nation's youth, farm- ers, laborer and small business men to join the Union party's ranks. He said he would aid all Congressmen who supported the Frazier-Lemke bill. BANK FUNCTIONS SPECIAL. North Dakota Institution, Lemke's | Model, 17 Years Old. By the Associated Press. BISMARCK, N.

It was in that round last year he was elim- inated by Baron Gottfried von Cramm of Germany. Grant Is Outclassed. Except for a rally in the first set, when he won three straight games to pull up even at three all, Grant was outclassed. Perry attacked the net vigorously to take the opening set. Perry simplv had too many guns and gave the game but outclassed lit- | tle American little chance to exploit | his famous retrieving. The Briton | went to the net frequently and scored | placements almost as he pleased to win the second set. Perry also won the final set as he pleased, beating Grant's last service at love. The champion’s drives skipped | off the grass too fast to allow Grant ! time to reach them. Budge was not extended at all in and seventh games, to take the open- ing set. Quist spilled Heavily on the wet turf and twice injured his racquet hand, Budge Bears Down. Quist led 3—2 in the third set, and then Budge bore down and took three consecutive games at love to leave no doubt as to his superiority. The | American won the set, 6—4, and the match, as Quist was nearly exhausted at the end from continual running from corner to corner. In the first set Austin pegged every- thing at Allison’s weak backhand. ‘With the score deadlocked at 2-all in the second set, the match was in- | terrupted by a heavy rain, which | drenched thousands of spectators. Austin broke through Allison’s serv- ice at love in the ninth game after a delay of 20 minutes. He found Alli- son’s backhand an easy victim for his | forehand thrusts. The American champion was generally below form. Allison made a great fight, squaring the court at 5-all in the third set, after trailing 3 to 5 and saving four match points in the long tenth game. The American titleholder tried so desperately to keep the match alive that he fell flat on his face three times in the final game and limped off the court. Hilda Krahwinkel Sperling of Ger- many and Denmark, and Dorothy | Round of England, winner of the | women’s title two years ago, gained the quarter-final round. Frau Sperling trounced Nelly Adamson of Belgium, 6—4, 6—2, while Miss Round defeated | Miss Whitmarsh by the same score. Gene Mako of Los Angeles, who with Budge had reached the third round in the doubles, was forced to withdraw from further competition owing to a shoulder injury suffered 10 days ago during the Quq Club tournament. Kay Stammeé$8, left-handed British star, and Fraulein Marie Louise Horn of Germany also reached the women's quarter-finals. Miss Stammers con- quered her doubles partner, Freda James, 7—5, 6—2. Fraulein Horn de- fefed Gabriel Curtis, 6—3, 6—3, Despite the threat of rain, it was estimated the famed center court and the outside courts were packed with 30,000 spectators. Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, calfl. and Mrs, Sarah P, Fabyan of Brook- line, Mass., advanced to the fourth round of the women’s doubles at the expense of Rollin Couquerque and G. Terwindf of Holland.

Wriephotv,i Slaying (Continued From First Page.) Mrs. Castle had been employed as an entertainer in a tavern until three months ago. The boy was dréssed when he came down to the lobby about 6 am. and told his story. He sald his mother had read the “funnjes” to him last night about 7 o'clock. “She put me in bed preity soon, |and I don’t know how long it was before I woke up and saw the man,” he told the police. “The man was sitting over mamma and hitting her with scmething * * . He kept on hitting her by the side of her ear, and I knew he was hurting her. Then he put his thumbs on her neck and left them there. Mamma didn't move and I was frightened. “I asked the man, ‘What are you doing?’ “The man, a big black man, said, ‘I'm a good doctor.’ ” Slayer Takes Purse. The boy said the slayer then arose and took Mrs. Castle’s purse from a dresser drawer. “He opened mamma’s pocketbook,” the boy continued, “and took out & lot of money. “I asked him if he knew mamma’s name and when he didn’t I told him her name was Florence and that she came from Los Angeles. “I'm going to take your mother back to Los Angeles at 10 o'clock in the morning,” he told me. “Pretty soon the doctor crawled out of the window and left, but I was so afraid I didn't get up. Mama didn't answer and I went to sleep. “When I woke up I could see mother and I saw that the man had choked her, 50 I said to myself, ‘T'll go down- stairs and tell them the man choked my mamma.’” Awakened by Bed Shaking. The boy said he did not hear his mother make any outery, but that he ::; awakened by the shaking of the Before fleeing down the fire escape, the killer took “a piece of chalk (apparently a lipstick) and said he ‘would write his name on the mirror,” the boy said. ‘The writing was the reference to the “Black Legion.” “When the man left he said good- by to me,” ¢he child related.
