INONLOSES D OFUSTEE UNON Fealty to Roosevelt Costs House Candidate Support of Coughlin Faction. By the Assoctated Press. CINCINNATI, October 3.—The Na- tional Union for Social Justice with- drew its support from Joseph A. Dixon, Democratic candidate for Congress, today because he refused to alter his pledge of loyalty to President Roose- velt. The action came 10 days after Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, head of the Na- tional Union, told interviewers here that any N. U. 8. J.-indorsed candi- date who supported the President would “get the axe.” Three leaders. of the National Union, in a statement, said the action against Dixon was taken after he re- fused “in a final interview” to change his stand and after the matter had been referred to Father Coughlin. They said National Union members in the first district would be asked to write in the name of Joseph W. Euler, president of the first congressional district N. U. S. J. organization. Makes Brief Statement. Dixon could not be reached for comment, but earlier in the day he had said: “I gave my pledge to support Roosevelt and I intend to remain true to that pledge.” The National Union statement, which was issued by Louis C. Ritt- meyer, deputy State supervisor; Al- bert E. Savoy, president of the second congressional _ district organization, and Euler, said: “In view of the continued affirma- tion of support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt by Joseph A. Dixon, = *+ * and in consideration of the fact that Roosevelt's monetary policies are diametrically opposed to the prin- ciples of social justice, Father Cough- lin and the National Union for Social Justise must withdraw its indorse- ment and approval of Dixon's candi- dacy. “The policy of destruction as recom- mended to and carried out by Presi- dent Roosevelt is in direct conflict to the laws of nature and teaching of social justice.” Attended Mass Meeting. Dixon and Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow sat on the platform September 24 when Father Coughlin addressed a mass meeting of the National Union here. He and Mr. Bigelow, N. U. 5. J- indorsed candidate for Congress from the second Ohio district, conferred at length with Father Coughlin earlier in the day and the Detroit priest re- ferred to that conference in his ad- dress. Bigelow, he said, “will let you know ‘where he stands when he addresses a national union meeting, October 4.” “When put to the test,” he added, “Dixon will let you know whether he is for principle or for degenerate partisanship.” Bigelow has never announced defi- nitely for whom he would vote for President. He sald today he would speak at the mass meeting tomorrow on the subject, “Why I Am Not 100 per cent for Mr, Roosevelt.” KIWANIANS TO HEAR WEIGHTMAN PUPILS Two Young Girls Will Appear on Convention Program at ‘Wilmington.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Field of Marihuana Bared In Arrest of Two Mexicans By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, October 3.—The ar- rest of two Mexicans with a quantity of marihuana in their possession led teday to the discovery of a fleld of the narcolic weed described as the largest ever found under cultivation in this country. The marihuana, used to make “reefer” cigarettes which drug addicts smoke, covered almost 3 acres alofig a small stream in the northwestern section of the city. Federal narcotic agents, led by In- spector Paul J. Brigham, found the growing weed after an all-night search following the arrest of the Mexicans and seizure of marihuana they had. “It was carefully shielded on all sides by several acres of standing corn,” Brigham said. “Whoever owned this crop, if he could have escaped arrest, could have furnished the entire amount estimated to be consumed in the United States.” The agents estimated the leaves of the 3,000 or more marihuana “trees” would be worth $1,000,000 on the re- tail market. The plants will be dug up and burned. A police guard was posted at the field. Lieut. Oscar Koch said the first lead in the search came when an informer led him to & house where officers found Ruby Sanchez, 28, and seized some green marihuana stalks. Sanchez, the officer said, led police to another house where a large quan- tity of dried marihuana leaves was selzed and Joseph Martinez arrested. The police then called Inspector Brigham and his agents into the case and they began the search for the field. Judging by the size of the stalks, the agents said, the field had bgen under cultivation several years. Brigham said there were enough leaves in the two houses to make about 1,200,000 marihuana cigarettes, WHY NOT BUY THE BEST w3ls Ko Yy, 24 Hour Installation VISIT OUR SHOW-ROOMS FORA DEMONSTRATION Cenvenient Terme of Pay- ment Arrenged OIL HEAT I.

Celebrating the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the Raleigh Haberdashery, the store’s entire stafl of employes and executives attended a dinner and dance last night at the National Press Club.

He traced the store’s history from an insignificant beginning in October, 1911, to its pres- ent position. ‘The Raleigh Haberdasher at first occupled a little one-story, 14-foot front store at 1109 Pennsylvania ave- nue, near the Raleigh Hotel, from which it teok its name. First expan- sion was in 1914, when it added the adjoining building to its space and opened a shoe department. It was in 1923 that the Raleigh ‘Haberdasher pioneered the movement to PP street. The building which it oc- cupies today, No. 1310, was built for the firm, and additional floor space has since been added. % Train Wreck Kills Seven.
