OWENS UNRUFFLED BY A. A.U. ACTION Back in U. S., Tragk Star Has Only Praise for Every One. 87 the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 24.—Jesse Owens, Ohio State's great colored athlete, winner of four gold medals in the Olympic games, arrived today from Europe on the liner Queen Mary and declared he had definitely de- cided only on qne thing—that he would return to Ohio State for an- other year to get his degree in phys- ical education. Greeted by one of the biggest dele- gations. that ever went down the bay to welcome a sports celebrity, Owens told reporters he had made no definite professional commitments, although that was his main objective in hurry- ing home as fast as he could. Apparently unspoiled by the acclaim that met his spectacular achieve- ments in the Olympic games when he won the 100 and 200 meter sprint championships, the broad jump title and ran on the record-breaking Amer- ican 400-meter relay team, Jesse had nothing but praise for every one, in- cluding the Amateur Athletic Union which suspended him for an unau- thorized “run out” on a tour of Scan- dinavian countries by a picked team of American athletes. Wife and Parents in Party. On board the cutter which went down the bay were Owens' wife and parents, and representatives of Cleve- land, Columbus and New York City. Jack Dempsey represented Mayor La Guardia of New York. The colored star traveled tourist ‘class with his coach, Larry Snyder. He will remain in New York untfl this evening, when he leaves for Cleveland where a big civic reception awaits him. Owens has been besieged by offers since he announced in London that he had determined to “cash in” on his Olympic achievements while he could, but stressed the fact that he ‘was going to take his time about ac- cepting any of them. Owens answered questions of 50 newspapermen almost as fast as he ran in Berlin. Thinks Committee Fair. As he ran the gauntlet of questions, the Ohio State fiyer said: “No, I have no hard feeling against the A. A. U. In fact, I haven't been notified that I was suspended. I was very tired after the Olympics and the post Olympic meets and I figured that, inasmuch as people pay to see track stars at their best, I had better stop running over there. I was too tired to do my best. “Mr. Avery Brundage? Personally, he is one of the finest men I've ever met. I haven't anything to say about ~the Olympic Committee except that I was treated fairly. “No, I do not think Hitler snubbed me. Please remember that he is a very, very busy man. It seemed that each time I finished running, he was scheduled to leave. Once, he waved to me and smiled and I waved Tight back. Saw Only One Race. “Greatest thrill? It was when I saw the Stars and Stripes go up—in the middle—after I had won my first gold medal—in the 100-meter dash. ‘The only race I actually saw was the 1,500-meter run. “My oak trees are coming on another boat. I am giving one each to the Fairmount Junior High in Cleveland, the East High in Cleveland end the Ohio State University. “No, I don't want to talk about politics.” “(There is reported to be & movement on foot to have Jesse run for Congress.) “You bet your life I'm going back to school. I've worked hard for my degree and I don't intend to let it slip away now. And when I get through with school I want to teach track.” VIRGINIAN BELIEVED DEAD IN HOME FIRE Unidentified Torso Discovered in Ruins of Dwelling Near Fincastle. By Lhe Associated Press. FINCASTLE, Va, August 24— Dewey Foster, about 40, until lately s blacksmith connected with the high- ‘way department, is believed to have been burned to death in a fire that destroyed his dwelling near here about 4:30 a.m. yesterday. An unidentifiable torso was found in the embers. Officers inquiring into the tragedy learned that Foster was in the busi- ness section of Fincastle as late as midnight Saturday night. It was sup- posed he went home. About 4:30 his wife and four children left the Foster home, an elder son being away in a C. C. C. camp. The wife and chil- dren went to & hill nearby and stayed for a time and then went to the house of a neighbor. A few minutes later the house was seen to be in flames. Nothing was saved. On the assumption that Fos- ter had set fire to the house and fled, officers began a search for him as the fire raged, and it was not until the embers cooled sufficiently for a search that the remains be- lleved to be those of Foster were Zound. @. U. Notes Severe Quake. Georgetown University today re- ported recording a severe earthquake yesterday. It began at 4:31:33 pm,, Eastern standard time, reached maxi- mum intensity at 4:52 and ended at 8 pm. The distance was estimated at 9,300 miles.

Farley indorsing Representative Blanton for the Demo- cratic congressional nomination in the seventeenth district of Texas seems to remain unsolved, but the Democratic National Com- mittee is convinced it was somebody who was “put up to it” and who had no connection with Farley. Published in Paper. The message was published Satur- day morning in a newspaper in Blan- ton’s home town, Abilene, and was recelved by the editor of the paper by Western Unlon from Washington. Bearing Farley's signature, it sald Blanton “should be returned.” By telephone from New York, Far- ley told The Star Saturday he had neither sent nor authorized such a message. - Also, he said, he did not believe anybody connected with his office here or in New York would " | have the “audacity” to send such in- dorsement in view of his established policy of taking no part in primary fights. Later, a representative of the Democratic National Committee here checked with the Western Unlon and was told the message had been tele- phoned in by a man claiming to be Farley's secretary in Washington. ‘The sender did not give his own name or telephone number, however, and directed that the message be charged to Parley's account. No Farley Connection. “We are convinced it was nobody connected with Farley's office,” & committee spokesman said this morn- ing, “but it was somebody smart enough to know he had an account and to do the business by telephone. Somebody undoubtedly was put up to Baroness Eva von Blizen-Finecke and Kurt Bjorkvall, com- mercial pilot, both of Sweden, who will take off in about 10 days on a trans-Atlantic flight to Sweden. The baroness, who is 27 years old, is a pilot and was formerly an auto racer, having garticipatad in the Grand Priz. Baron Blizen-Finecke, who is er second husband, is a large land owner in Ethiopia.

BACKGROUND— Nanking government of China under administration of Gen. Chiang Kai-shek met challenge to authority in South China several ‘months ago in independence move- ment centering around leaders at Canton. Southern Chinese military chiefs demanded Nanking declare war on Japan in resistance to islanders’ penetration from morth. Most of Canton leaders ceased insurgent activity, but Kwangsi continued movement for independ- ence. By 'he Associated Press. HONGKKONG, August 24—Five demands, including war against Ja- pan, were laid down today by leaders of the Kwangsi Province rebellion as a preface to their surrender to au- thority of the Nanking (central) government. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Nanking, overlord of China, was re- ported unlikely to accept the offer as he called a military conference of all Southern China commanders. The five demands were: China must declare war against Japan. The famous Nineteenth Route Army must be reorganized and its officers reinstated. Gen. Li Chung-jen, first command- er of the Kwangsi forces, and Gen. Pal Chung-hsi, second in tommand, must be left in control of all Kwangsi forces. Kwangsi troops must not be trans- ferred except to meet external ag- gression. Li Chal-sum, formerly Gen. Chiang’s chief lieutenant, and Chen Ming-shu, leader in the abortive Fukien inde- pendence movement of 1933-4, must be pardoned. The Kwangsl independence drive has made no headway for several weeks, and Gen. Chiang has been dickering with Kwangsi officials from his Canton headquarters. —_— Wins Wrestling Bout With Fish. ST.

Practicing Attorney, Representative Johnson is a prac- ticing attorney in Parkersburg, W. Va., and was first elected to Congress in 1922. He served only one term at that time and was a member of the Agriculture Committee. In 1932 he was again elected and was returned in 1934, , His only committee assign- ment at present is that to the ap- propriations group. Ditter, who might become Repub- lican chairman if that party carries the House, also is an attorney and was first elected to Congress in 1932. He was returned in 1934 and is a can- didate for re-election this time. Back in Texas, Garrett today was planning to wage his campaign against a Republican opponent on the same slogan of “more jobs, less dole,” which he has been using during past weeks. In a State that is represented wholly by Democrats in Congress, he is an overwhelming favorite for elec- tion in November. In other Texas contests Saturday, Representative McFarlane, Democrat, appears to have won renomination in the thirteenth district, while Albert Thomas seemingly has clinched the honor in the eighth district, where Representative Eagle failed in an at- tempt to defeat Senator Sheppard. —_— Farmers of Germany expect large | Northwest WASHINGTON you can board BALTIMORE & OHIO Trains to and from the West it as a means of giving Blanton a lift.” It had not been determined this morning whether any further investi- gation would be pressed.

S8T. PAUL August 24.—Party lead- ers surveyed the shifting Minnesota political scene today to gauge the effect of the death of Gov. Floyd B. Olson upon the Fall elections. A military escort was marshalled to bring the body of the Farmer- Labor leader from Rochester where he died of cancer Saturday night to 8t. Paul for a State funeral Wednes- day as these developments took shape: The Farmer-Laborite Lieutenant QGovernor, Hjalmar Petersen, came here to be sworn in as Governor. The Farmer-Labor party’s State Central Committee planned to meet soon after Olson’s final rites to discuss its program and make necessary changes in the November ticket. The members did not indicate their stand on Olson’s recent statement, urging all “liberals” to support Presi- dent Roosevelt for re-election. ‘The names of three men—Repre- sentative Ernest Lundeen, State At- torney General Harry Peterson and John P. Devaney, chief justice of the State SBupreme Court—were mentioned in party circle speculation on the drafting of a candidate to take Olson’s place as the Farmer-Laborite entry in the United States Senate race. An indication of & contest came in the announcement of former Repre- sentative Prancis H. Shoemaker that he would seek the post. The Senate seat now is held by Elmer A. Benson, Farmer-Laborite named by Olson to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Republcan Thomas D. Schall. Benson is his party’s nominee for Governor.
