~ COUGHLIN AGAIN HITS RODSEVELT “Challenges” President to Say He Does Not Want Communist Votes. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, September 19.—Rev. Charles E. Coughlin “chal- lenged” President Roosevelt today to repudiate what he said was the sup- port of “Earl Browder and the Com- munist party.” Browder, asserted the Detroit priest at an Iowa rally of the National Union for Social Justice, is “publicly urging his Communist party to vote for Rooeevelt and Mr. Roosevelt grins and likes it.” Father Coughlin said the President “has not the courage to excoriate Browder and say, ‘I don't want your “And, moreover, I challenge Mr. Roasevelt to make that assertion.” The priest explained that he was Interested “in saving our country and Christianity, not by killing capitalism but by curing capitalism.” Urges Monetary Reform. He sald the needed cures were pay- ment of a “living annual wage” and “the elimination of private issuance and control” of money. “You cannot disturb the onrush of communism by talking about it,” he sald. “You must act. There's only one thing for an American to do and that's to interest himself in politics for the purpose of electing representa-, tives who will cure capitalism and | dam communism.” At an earlier press conference, Father Coughlin said the purpose of the National Union in supporting the presidential candidacy of William Lemke was to obtain “bargaining power.” He said he expected the election would be thrown into the House of Representatives by lack of an electoral majority by either President Roosevelt or Gov. Landon. Then, he added, the National Union would bargain on na- tional policy and administration per- sonnel in return for support of its members in the House. Assails Gold Standard. In his address, Father Coughlin said Gov. Landon stood for the gold stan- dard, which, he added was a “cause of communism.” Turning to President Roosevelt, he #aid the Chief Executive had “a poetic voice,” an “artistic poise,” and a “happy faculty of promising.” | The President, he said, “still clings to pay-as-you-workism,” which he | defined as “withholding' from the worker increased wages commensurate | with the increased productivity result- ing from improved machinery. “He pays his W. P. A. slaves less than a living wage for working with Jim Farley's grandfather’s pick,” the | Ppriest said. NEW YORK STATE HELD SAFE FORG. 0. P, Outlook Favorable With Public Interest Migh, Representative Wadsworth Reports. The outlook in New York State is *exceedingly favorable” to the Re- | publicans in this year's election, in | the opinion of Representative Wads- worth of that State. In a letter lo‘ James C. Wilkes, chairman of the Re- | publican State Central Committee for the District of Columbia, he summed up his view of the political situation | in the Empire State as follows: | “The intensity of interest in up- | Btate New York is something I have | never seen equalled in my political experience. The Republican meetings held thus far are breaking all known | records in the matter of attendance. | ‘Thousands of people who have never attended such affairs are coming to them. A very considerable number | who have never voted are coming out and declaring their intention openly of voting for Landon.” After expressing the belief that | there alsp are a considerable number of Democrats in the State opposed to | the New Deal, WadswortH® continued: “As for the Republicans, there are no factional differences among them. I have never seen the party so thor- oughly united as it is in up-State New York. This is true in the industrial centers, such as Buffalo, Syracuse and Utica as well as in the rural coun- ties. I am convinced that we shall break all records in the matter of ma- Jorities. If Roosevelt is to carry New | York State he must beat all known records in Greater New York City. | This, I am convmced he cannot do.” COMMUNISTS BANNED Provincetown Refuses to Permit Public Meeting of Reds. PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Septem- | , ber 19 (#.—The Board of Selectmen announced tonight that this port, where the Pilgrims first anchored, would refuse to permit Communists to hold public meetings. ‘The board rejected an application of | W.

C., SEPTEMBER 20 The “Big Three” of Steel Meet LANDONS ENJOY STATE FAIRVISIT Walk About Grounds and Ride on Merry-Go- Round. By the Assoclated Press. TOPEKA, Kans., September 19.— Gov. Alf M. Landon interrupted work | on 2 major farm speech today for a family visit to the Kansas Fair and a merry-go-round ride to the 1932/ Democratic campaign tune of * “Happy | Days Are Here Agal For an hour during the morning, the Republican presidential nominee, Mrs. Landon and their two young- sters, 4-year-old Nancy Jo and 2-year- old Jack, walked about the fair | grounds. Then the Governor remmed\ home to resume work on Tuesday's | Des Moines address and to approve a | partial itinerary of 14 rear platform talks in Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota | next week. Landoh chose the executive man- sion for final shaping of his farm talk in conference with Representa- tive Clifford Hope of Kansas, head of the Republican National Commit- | tee’'s agricultural division, and Earl Farm Editors Give Views. Available to the candidate were the views of 30 farm editors, pre- sented in a round table discussion-yes- terday. Hope told reporters the editors seemed to be grouped in three general schools of thought: One, as repre- sented by C. V. Gregory, the Prairie Farmer, Chicago, which believed Gov- ernment must “exercise some direc-| tion in controlling production”; an- | other, as voiced by Kirk Fox, Success- ful Farming, Des Moines, which “hoped” for foreign markets to avoid “some painful adjustment,” and a third which emphasized, as did James R. Moore, Ohio Farm Bureau News, | Columbus, legislative aides to co- | operatives. In past speeches, Landon- has urged continued benefit payments, a “far more aggressive” Federal-State pro- | gram for water and soil conservation | and asked why “rich lands” should | not have a chance to produce what they are capable of. It was soon after breakfast when | the Landons slipped away from the! executive mansion to carry out the‘, Governor's promise that he would‘ Crowds | had only just begun to assemble for | the fair's last day. Nancy Jo, wear- ing a white tam o'shanter, and Jack | in bright yellow shirt and tan overalls, trudged llong with tight grips on their Di-puyl Luster Ware. The first stop was in an exhibit house where Mrs. Landon had a dis- play of antique luster ware. Nearby Maurice Jencks, fair manager, told Lafidon it was one of the finest any fair boasted. “You ought to have my big oil pMn(.lnz out here,” the Governor smiled, referring to a portrait just completed. “How much did it cost you, Gov- ernor?” Jencks asked. “Not a thing,” the nominee replied with a laugh. “You know me better than that. The national committee | paid for it.” Next came the merry-go. -round.

Shenandoah Park Snakes Elusive, Observer Insists Says Nine Species Found, But Only Two Are Venomous. Special Dispatch to The Star. LURAY, Va, September 19.—Carl Gudat, landscape architect of the Shenandoah National Park, who has recently been transferred to Jackson, Miss., says there are nine species of snakes in the park, only two of which are poisonous, and that these poison- ous snakes are rapidly leaving be- cause of recent activity and blasting | in the building of roads and trails. They are the timber rattlesnake and the copperhead. Other species are the garter snake, the common black snake, water snake, the milk snake, the ring-necked snake and the hog-nosed snake. These snakes are very evasive and visitors to the park will have great difficulty in observing them. The hog-nosed snake will suddenly startle one with his hissing noise, but he is one of the most harmless snakes in the mountains, and when he finds you are not afraid, he will roll over on his back and play dead. PORT RIOT AVERTED CHARLESTON, 8. C., September 19 (#).—Police armed with a sub-machine | gun, & pump rifle and night sticks were riot by 300 colored longshoremen.

CHICAGO, September 19.—A 10 per cent wage increase, to be taken out of profits of the prevailing business up- turn, was demanded today by two groups of employes of the Carnegie- Ilinois Steel Corp., subsidiary of United States Steel. Speaking through the General and Wage Committee of their employe representation plan, steel workers at south Chicago and Mingo Junction, Ohio, said the company could afford to give them a 10 per cent‘wage boost and have $7,500,000 profit left over if the demand for steel was as-great in the last six months of 1936 as in the first half of the year. In Answer to Letter. The two demands came in answer to a letter last week in which B. F. Fairless, president of Carnegie-Illinois, said wages could not be increased at this time. Fourteen thousand men were rep- resented in the south Chicago de- mand, in which the smaller Ohio group concurred. Accepting Fairless’ contention that & 10 per cent pay raise would “con- sume all” the $16,238,727 profit an- nounced for the first half of 1936, the South Chicago Committee replied: “On the other hand, if the profits for the second six months can be asumed to be as good, * * * the annual profits will be a little over $32,500,000.” This, the workers said, would cover a 10 per cent pay raise with $7,500,000 to spare. Higher Prices Cited. That steel production would run as high from July to December as from January to July was evident, the com- mittee asserted, in recent announce- ments of higher prices for steel prod- ucts. ‘The Employe Representation Com- mittee asked a meeting with Pairless in either Pittsburgh or Chicago, and members of his office staff said he ‘would comply. —_— HADASSAH PLANS DRIVE Membership Tea and Reception to Be Given Tuesday.
