THE . EVE REPUBUBANSHA“. Dust Storms and Floods: BACKING OF BORA Landon Praises Idahoan. Farley Job Plan to Be Announced Today. By the Associated Press. Senator Borah's declaration that ne has “no intention of bolting” the'Re- publican ticket was received with gratification today by the party leader- ship. Gov. Landon of Kansas, preparing for conferences with Republican leaders before delivering his nomination ac- ceptance address and plunging into the campaign, declared at Topeka: “I am happy to have the co-opera- tion of Senator Borah in this cam- paign. I long have admired his dis- tinguished career as a great American statesman.” The Idahoan’s statement a! Boise, in which he said he was supporting the platform and “had been supporting the platform from the beginning,” did not indicate what he plans to do in the way of campaigning for the Knox- Landon ticket. It did, however, make plain that he would not be found in any opposition cainp. Hinted at “Bolting.” During Borah's campaign for the homination, when he spoke vigorously against “monopoly,” he hinted at bolt- ing, notably in a speech at Newark, N.

Note: This is the first in a series of siz articles describing the re- lationship between duststorms and floods, their origin, the extent of their devastation and the war being weged against them. BY CHARLES NORMAN ssociated Press Staff Writer, USTSTORMS and floods have | risen with seeming sudden- ness to warn America that she must fight to save her soil. ‘That they have risen together is not a coincidence to the scientist, who sees them as twin public enemies, springing in large measure from the same causes, Does it seem paradoxical that dust- | storms, lack of water, should be linked with floods, which be- speak an overabundance of water? Duststorms come because the earth is dry, the soil is loose and the wind blows. Man may blame nature for the wind and for lack of rain. He cannot blame nature because the soil is not anchored. Floods come because of the hard seasonal downpours, because the big rivers are overfed by the little rivers, because the channels are not -deep enough to carry the big rivers at flood tide. Man cannot stop the rain. He may make the river channels deeper, by dredging, by building levees. That is done by America's engineers. But even when that method works, it averts only the most obvious loss. It does not keep fertile topsoil from Duststorms come because ‘the earth is dry, the soil is loose and the wind blows.

BACKGROUND— Audrey Vallette, figure in Chi= cago's might life, found slain last Thursday in her North Side apart- ment. Woman seen fleeing earlier identifled as wife of a North Side resort owner. Police huntirig her in Chicago and Northern Indiana. Husband surrendered to police yes= terday for questioning. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 7.—An attempt to obtain the immediate release on a writ of habeas corpus of Eddie Freed, stocky associate of Capone hench- men, who is held for questioning in the slaying of Audrey Vallette, platinum blond playgirl, failed today when Judge Denis J. Normoyle made the writ returnable tomorrow. Freed, believed by the police to be the “Eddie” who played a lead- ing part in the victim's love life, sur- rendered yesterday and admitted intimacies with Miss Vallette. ‘The police still sought Freed's wife, Ruth Carmelia Preed, whose photo- graphs resembled the woman who ran from Miss Vallette's apartment hotel a few minutes after the blond was shot to death. Judge Squeiches Lawyer. The habeas corpus petition was signed by Harry Freed, older brother oly. . Borah remained silent for the time on whether he would seek renomina- tion for the Senate, but W. Scott Hall, & friend, said he was convinced Borah ‘would be a candidate. Leadership of both the Republican and Democratic parties remained ac- tively engaged today in crystallizing campaign plans. Representative Joseph W. Martin, Jr, Republican Eastern campaign manager; Arthur Ballantine of New York and J. Reuben Clark of Salt Lake City were in Topeka to confer with Landon. Postmaster General James A. Farley conferred for two hours yesterday with President Roosevelt and indicated later the Chief Executive probably would announce today whether Farley would resign from the cabinet or take a leave to concentrate on the cam- Ppaign work. L. W.

Bertrand H. Snell, House minority leader, issued a statement from his home at Potsdam, N. Y., last night, in which he declared that “Government spending probably will be the foremost question” of the campaign. “With a deficit of practically $5,- 000,000,000, he said, “the people all over the country are waking up to the fact that the public debt has been in- creased 12 or 13 pillions in the Roose- velt administration.” There was a temporary Iyl in pro- nouncements from Democratic cam- paigners. From Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, leader of the National Union for So- cial Justice, came a statement last night that he believed the Lemke- O'Brien Union party ticket would cause the election of President to be thrown into the House of Representa- tives, because no candidate would re- ceive a majority in the electral college, —_— LOST.

Floods, say the scientists, are parely attributable to the absence of suf- ficient vegetation at the headwaters; along the small rivers that feed the big rivers; along the creeks that feed the little rivers; on the sloping earth from which the needed water runs un- checked into the creeks.

Proper cultivation and revegetation, say the conservationists, would hold the earth, help prevent duststorms, save and enrich the soil. “Erosion” is a term much used to- day. It means “to eat or wear away. Two kinds of erosion eat and wear away the soil: Wind erosion, result- ing in duststorms; water erosion, con- tributing to floods. No large area in the country escapes erosion. What is being advocated and practiced to preserve the soil in dust {and flood areas is applicable to all areas, say the conservatiohists. The uplands of interior China once were rich with farms and for- ests. Today they are bleak stretches of sand and stone. Overgrazing, over- cultivation, destroyed the soil. Erosion is a problem as old as agri- culture; the hard lesson of overgraz- ing is in the Old Testament, The soil conservation service of the Steel (Continued From First Page.) ’ Floods come because of the hard seasonal downpours, because the big rivers are overfed by the little rivers, because the channels are not deep enough to carry the big rivers at flood tide.

By the Assoclated Press. GANADO, Ariz,, July 7.—The wis- dom of Beninie, the Navajo medicine man, was acclaimed today throughout the 15,000,000-acre reservation of th tribe. ‘Their rain prayers to the great spirit were followed by downpours which drenched sections of the reser- vation and scattered showers over other parts of the parched area. ‘The tribesmen spoke reverently of the age-old rain ritual, Najadaltinth, and the wizened medicine man who, perhaps alone of 50,000 Navajos, re- membered it. Until last week, when Beninie re- vived it, the Najadaltinth had not been used for a generation and to many it had become only e legend, heard from the lips of the “old men" or read in the mystic signs of sand Ppaintings. 4 Strangely, the end of two days and nights of chanting and dancing came as splashes of rain started to fall on the painted glncen . can they make to them except the appeal that they bring themselves within the organized labor movement for their own protection and for the common good of those who toil. * * * Interference and coercion of employes trying to organize come from the economic advantages held by the em- ployer.

Public to Be Informed. “I wish also solemnly to warn those who represent the steel industry that their unlawful, ruthless tactics of former years will not be tolerated by our committee. This organization drive in the steel industry will be con- ducted in full, open gaze of the public; or, in other words, through the radio and the press the public will be con- tinously informed. “We have also taken measures to protect our people. We shall also bring to justice any one in the steel industry who is guilty of lawlessness. This does not mean merely the sub- ordinate officials of the steel corpora- tions, their armed guards, or other hirelings or mercenaries. It means that we shall hold to accountability those who are really responsible— bankers, directors and officials of the steel corporations—those who really formulate policies and methods—{rom J. P.

They pay these expenses to secure an ad- vantage over their employes. The cost of maintaining & company union is trifling, compared to the savings it affords in pay rolls. These com- panies assert a determination to see that their employes belong to no labor union which maintains itself by dues. * * * The stake involved is not the small contribution that may be made by the employes to the union, but in the pay rolls where, on any basis of fair bargaining, millions would be . 720 New | 2dded to the wage envelopes of the .

Intermittent riots and disorders marked by Leftist charges that opponents are plotting bloody uprising for Bastille day, July 14. Blum government met Rightist menace with decre:> of dissolution of Croiz de Feu, which has reorganized as the *Social” party. By the Associated Press. . PARIS, July 7.—Ballots—not riots— will be the Rightist method of seeking an “orderly conquest of power,” Col. Francois de la Rocque declared today. The leader of the Nationalist “Social” party, created from the ruins of the dissolved Croix de Feu League, denied Communist charges that his followers were planning bloody demon- strations. “We are not revolutionists,” he said “We are patriotic Frenchmen and we stand for order.” De la Rocque's declaration followed & disorderly demonstration near the Arch of Triumph Sunday in which approximately 200 persons were injured in fighting between Rightists and police. Disorder Plans Charged. Communists of the Paris Municipal Council afterward accused the Na- tionalists of planning “another Feb- ruary Sixth" for the Bastille day cele- bration next Tuesday. They referred to the riots of February 6, 1934, in which some 20 persons were killed after exposure of the Stavisky munici- pal pawnshop scandal. A tense situation was reported at Ajaccio, where several persons were injured in clashes las* night between Nationalists, Leftists and police, Troops were held ready to aid 500 gendarmes scattered throughout the Corsican city. Authorities prohibited a meeting of the supporters of Jean Chiappe, Corsican member of the Chamber of Deputies, whose election was voided July 2. Roger Salengro, minister of the in- terior. conferred with army officials sn measures to end disturbances on the Champs Elysees in Paris, scene of the rioting Sunday. He forbade even government sup- porters to march along the avenue during their victory celebration next week and forced them to change their line of march. Reorganization Fought. The government also began action to prevent reorganization of the dis- solved Rightist leagues into secret societies by summoning to court at Lille an anti-royalist leader who as- sembled 200 “friends” in his apart- ment. at Walter Reed Hospital. Those hurt were: Miss Alice Milligan, one of the teachers in charge of the party; Walsh, Margana Lautman, 8; Donnie Lautman, 6; Fred Farrar, 6; John Beberich, 7.

Officials said the ban against league meetings would be strictly enforced. | Means of ending Paris disorders | were repcrted to be the subject of a | cabinet meeting, with Premier Leon | Blum leading the discussion. | Gov. Gen. Le Beau of Algeria | started back to his post with orders to halt rioting in the North African possession. As he departed, Leftists and Na- | tionalists clashed in the fortified sea- | port of Bona. Heavy police forces | dispersed the demonstrators after many had been injured. De la Rocque's statement, which followed reports of a split in his fol- lowers, was viewed as an effort to calm impatient Nationalists who have been asking “why La Rocque holds | his fire.” The Rightist chieftain, by his decla- ration, was believed to have reversed his original position, established when he wrote in his newspaper, “If they (the government) try to break up our party, the question will be settled by illegality.” | Since then he has declared his group seeks power through regular elections rather than by a coup d'etat. His new political party is pledged to rk toward that end. ROOF EXPERTS Our men are experienced: out charges are low: call us for satisfactory service, . & FERGUSON £=3831 Ga.
