By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, September 26.—Fred » Neindorff, non-striking financial edi- tor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, testified today at a Labor Board hear- ing that ‘“loyal” employes of the strike-bound newspaper once cir- culated a petition asserting the local American Newspaper Guild Chapter did not represent them with their employer. Neindorf! also testified a Newspa- per Guild organizer also came to Se- attle avowedly in connection with an asserted Nation-wide boycott against the Post-Intelligencer's owner, Wil- liam Randolph Hearst. Labor Board Examiner Edwin 8. Smith ordered Neindorfl's testimony about the asserted boycott activity stricken from the record. He held| any evidence intended to show a Newspaper Guild Chapter was organ- ized here as a part of an “anti-Hearst vendetta” was incompetent. Paper Describes Position. Neindorff told of a fishing trip with | Lester Hunt, non-striking political | editor, and their decision to draw up | a paper describing their position. He| quoted it as saying: | “We, the undersigned, have not authorized the Seattle Chapter of the American Newspaper Guild or any other organization to represent us in| the matter of wages, working condi- | tions or anything else.” He and Hunt signed it immediately, he said, and they obtained three other signatures, later turning it over to Edward T. Stone, non-striking night city editor. The board hearing, on the guild's complaint that Frank M. Lynch, pho- tographer, and Philip Everhardt Arm- strong, drama critic, were discharged for guild activity, is nearing its end. That part of Neindorfl’s testimony stricken had to do with a conversa- tion he said he and Lester M. Hunt, non-striking political writer, had with Morgan Hull, guild organizer. Invited to Join Guild. Niendorf said he first heard of the guild from Hull, when Hull called him and Hunt, & former Tacoma newspaper man, to a hotel and in- vited them to join the guild. “He (Hull) said he was going to address the Seattle Central Labor Council that night and would talk about ‘Hearst in Milwaukee' (where a guild strike was in progress),” Nien- dorf_testified. “‘You fellows know about the strike in Milwaukee,’ he said, and I told him I had read the guild re- porter but I couldn't find any basis, in the articles, for the dispute. Hull then mentioned the Nation-wide boy- cott against Hearst and said that was the reason why he was in Seattle. “I told him that was an unfair attitude; that the P.-I. had always paid the highest wages and that it was & poor spirit on his part. “We sa«d that it would be poor strategy to speak to the Labor Coun- cil and Hunt and I expressed regret that he was doing it. We told him it was injustice to the Seattle paper paying the highest wages, and said that men on other papers always sought employment on the P.-I. We asked him to withdraw from making the talk. “I told him the logical starting point was on the Star, notorious for its low wages.” Watts objected and Woods coun- tered that “the complaint states two persons were discharged because of guild activities and we responded that the alleged complaint and allegations were a mere subterfuge.” Sees Vendetta Against Hearst. Woods argued “the plan was defi- nitely in mind a long time. Hull was not organizing a guild chapter in good faith, but as part of a vendetta being carried on against William Randolph Hearst.” Smith questioned the materiality of Niendorf's testimony, and Wood asked, | “is it impossible to say we not only | fired for cause but that the supposed | basis for the contention against us | is foundationless and a subterfuge?” Watts told the examiner that you can find anything in this argu- ment that the two men were dis- charged for those two things (ineffi- ciency of Lynch and insubordination of Armstrong), but because Hearst doesn't like their motives, Il with- draw my objection.” Smith sustained his objection and ordered Neindorf's testimony stricken. Smith commented that he had heard no evidence indicating Hull's actions and motives were contrary “to com- mon practice, pursued by labor organ- izers for the protection and advance- ment of labor unions.” SHE WASN'T A GRID FAN Wonders if Caged Lynx and Dog in Advertisement Will Battle, MEMPHIS, Tenn.

Town Sees Two Shades of Red Over Speech of Communist| By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 36.—Villagers of Oak Park, the world's largest vil- lage, called on the police tonight to stop a Communist from making & campaign speech in the suburb’s First Congregational Church. Decrying the address—scheduled for tomorrow night—as a “sacrilege,” two women and a man who refused to identify themselves made the demand by telephone to both the police sta- tion and James M. Howe, the village president. Interference was denied them on the grounds that the meeting was private, Howe said, and the church pastor, Rev. Albert Buckner Coe, eountered with an offer to throw the whole church open for the speech— it was originally scheduled for s small parlor—"if this publicity at- tracts crowds to the meeting.” “Some busybodies too narrow-mind- ed to recognize the principes of free speech are trying to interfere,” he asserted. “I am no Communist, nor do I think there are any members of my church * * * but I have sought to continue a tolerance for free speech.” The whole town saw red—two shades of it. = The pastor of the church and the young folk of his flock were ar- rayed together on the side of “free discussion of political issues.” Against them was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, Mrs. Martin H. McGrath, and her friefds in the congregation, firm in the belief that a communistic speech would be “desecration.® Caught in the cross-fire between them was Samuel T. Hammersmark, Communist nominee for Governor of Illinois. Hammersmark was due to talk at the church tomorrow night. He was invited by the young people's or- ganization, the Colliquim. Mrs. McGrath, a wife of Oak Park's Jjustice of the peace and a member of the congregation, took steps as soon as she read the newspaper an- nouncement. “As a stanch member of the D. A. R."” she said, “I cannot sanction the | idea that a communistic politician be | given free use of a holy edifice to talk State politics.” Woodpecker Heads South, Utica Man Hopes for Good Home Owner Says Bird Visited Roof Briefly Yesterday. By the Associated Press. UTICA, N. Y, September 26— Frank B. Seaton welcomed colder weather today because he said it in- spired the hope that the house- wrecking woodpecker, which has been boring holes in his roof, had headed southward. Seaton said the bird, a yellow-bel- lied sapsucker, visited his house only briefly yesterday and after a lacka- daisical peck or two at a single shin- gle on the north side, headed south- ward. He hoped, he said, that it was the beginning of the bird’s annual mi- gration. Low temperatures here were re- flected elsewhere in upstate New York. Saranac Lake, which had snow yes- terday, reported a heavy frost accom- panied by a temperature 2 degrees below freezing. At Owl's Head, Adirondack source of apocryphal cold weather stories, Mrs. Fannie Carpenter said water | froze so hard that it was “difficult to break the ice with a stick and the ground was hard as a rock.” “The frost spread so thickly that the ground looked as though it was covered with snow,” she added. The temperature was 22. At Malone it was 30. YOUTH HITCH-HIKES TO LEGISLATURE SEAT 22-Year-Old Farm Worker Wins in Texas After Novel Campaign. CANTON, Tex.

LOUIS, Mo, September 26— The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (inde- pendent), which supported Democratic candidates in the last five presidential campaigns, announced tonight that it “cannot support Mr. Roosevelt for re-election to the presidency.” “In simplest possible terms” said the newspaper, which was founded by Joseph Pulitzer, “the overshadowing issue in the coming national election is whether or not we shall set up in America, in defiance of the American tradition and in deftance of the plain intent of the Constitution as it now stands, a Government with vast and centralized authority over the eco- nomic life of the Nation. “On that issue the Post-Dispatch, believing as it does in an economy of free enterprise, under the political forms of our Federal system of Gov- ernment, cannot support Mr. Roose- velt for re-election to the presi- dency. * ¢ * Free Competition. “The question, to repeat, is whether we shall continue under the present constftutional system—a system of which free competition is an integral and necessary part—or whether we shall substitute for it a Federal bu- reaucracy with the unrestrained power to impose its flats upon the daily af- fairs of the citizen. Such a bu- reaucracy not only destroys economic freedom but must, in the end, if it is 1o succeed, destroy political freedom. “While opposing the re-election of Mr. Roosevelt, we give him full credit for the courage he displayed in the dark days of March, 1933; full credit for high-minded and patriotic en- deavor to improve the lot of common man, * s Evils of Old Guardism. “In advocating the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt, the Post-Dispatch does not shut its eyes to the evils of the Old Guardism repudiated by the voters in 1932. There must be no return to the conditions that produced such evils as the Teapot Dome scandal, the un- conscionable Hawley-Smoot tariff, the speculative excesses of the Coolidge ‘new era’ the wholesale defrauding of investors, the control and abuse of the national credit by Wall Street.* * * “As an independent newspaper, committed to neither the Democratic ‘nur the Republican party, the Post- Dispatch holds itself free to criti- cize the views and acts of Gov. Lan- don both as candidate and as Presi- dent if he should be elected.” Morgenthau Declines Answer to Query on Recognizing Russia By the Associated Press. i At the press conference in which Secretary Morgentau dis- closed what he said was a Rus- sian move to depress the pound sterling, he was asked yesterday: “Do you think we made a mis- take in recognizing Russia?” He smilingly declined to answer. 1111 H 8 A Store Near Your Home 814-816 ¥ St. N.

Frontier Defense Test Enlarged to National Scope Army’s Paper War Plan Altered to Meet Host Attacking Capital. By the Associated Press. FORT SAM HOUSTON, Tex., Sep- tember 26.—War games testing the Army’s frontier defenses spread to a | national scale today as an imaginary invading ““black” army suddenly shifted three divisions from the Guif Coast to the Eastern Seaboard to aid an assumed attack on the capital. After three days of simulated fight- ing against the American Third Army in Texas the “blacks” began a general withdrawal and Gen. George Van Horn Moseley, commanding the de- fenders, immediately ordered a com- bined pursuit. It developed under the umpires' ruling that the landing of a “black” army of 250,000 men on the Gulf Coast and its subsequent advance on San.Antonio was but a diversion to prevent the third American army from aiding in defense of the East Coast, where an even more powerful “black” army was assumed to be threatening. ‘The war games problems are being fought “on paper.” No actual troops are in the maneuvers. Five hundred Army commanders and their taffs at Fort Sam Houston were engaged in the problem of re- pelling the mimic invasion of the coast. Their problem, under changed conditions simulating actual warfare, became one of forcing the imaginary enemy out of South Texas as rapidly as possible in order to send reinforce- ments to the threatened East Coasf COME TO GEORGE’S AND SAVE! onsy complets _washer and in one.

BALTIMORE, September 26.—Eight county jails in Maryland received class A rating today, in & report on jail conditions, made to the State Board of Public Welfare. Five others, including the Worcester County lock-up, where Inspector How- ard C. Hill reported he found s num- ber of “empty whisky and gin bottles” in a cell, received “D” ratings, indi- cating unsatisfactory conditions. The jails given first ranking are in Baltimore, Allegany, Montgom- ery, Washington, Dorchester, Prince | Georges, Garrett and Wicomico Coun- ties. Other gradings: Class B—Prederick, Anne Arundel, Talbot, Harford, Carroll. Class C—Charles, Howard, Caroline, 8t. Marys, Queen Annes. Class D—Somerset, Kent, Cecil, Cal- vert, Worcester. Inspector Hill cited insufficient segregation of prisoners in the Worces- ter Jall, as in several others. He said, in the case of the Harford Jail, at| Bel Air, that & hole in the floor of | the women's quarters had been “plug- | ged with broken glass to shut off | Tats.” | “There are still some of the jails | which call for substantial correction | of faults and a few others which are totally unfit,” Hill's report continued. | Referring again to the Worcester at Snow Hill, he stated: | “No improvements have been made | In respect to various shortcomings re- ported from year to year, and the jail must be classed in the most un-| satisfactory group.” . = Damona, Sheep Goddess.
