— —Communist Candidate Browder Jailed in Terre By EDWARD W. PICKARD EPUBLICANS and Democrats of New York state met in con- vention at Albany and Syracuse re- spectively, selected their state tick- ets and started on a hot campaign. The Republicans entered the fight under a new leader for they named William F. Bleakley of Yonkers, supreme court justice, for the governorship. The fifty-two-year- old jurist prepared to resign from the bench and take Bleakiey command at once. Col. Ralph K. Robertson of Buf- falo was nominated for lieutenant governor, Nathan D. Perlman of New York city for attorney general and John A. May, Gloversville, for comptroller. The convention at its evening ses- sion heard Col. Frank Knox, Re- publican vice presidential candi- date, in a strong attack or the New Deal. The Democrats re-nominated Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, and his can- didacy was warmly espoused by President Roosevelt, who went to | Syracuse to deliver his first speech | as an avowed candidate. The Pres- ident took occasion to deny again | that he seeks Communist support | and alleged that issue was a ‘‘red | herring’ dragged across the trail | by his opponents. William F. RANK KNOX, President Roose- velt and Al Smith, all on the air the same evening, provided a political feast for radio listeners. Colonel Knox, speaking at Pitts- burgh, reiterated and substantiated his former assertion that New Deal financial policies were imperilling savings accounts and insurance pol- icies. Mr. Roosevelt, not so elo- quent as usual, defended the spend- | ing policies of his administration. | He, too, spoke at Pittsburgh. The | high spot of the evening came at | the close of Al Smith's address to | a women's organization in New | York city. He had been treating of | the New Deal and its leaders with | biting sarcasm and wound up with the dramatic declaration: “I firmly believe that the remedy | for all the ills that we are suffer- ing from today is the election of Alfred M. Landon.” Whereupon arose a shout that lit- erally echoed throughout the land. *ARL BROWDER, Communist -+ party nomin for the Presi- dency, achieved the distinction of being the first Presidential candi- date to be jailed since Eugene V. Debs was incarcerated during the World war. Browder was scheduled to make a campaign address over the radio from Terre Haute, Ind. but when he arrived in that city he was nabbed by Chief of Police | James C. Yates and put in the hoosegow on charges of vagrancy | and ‘for investigation.” Held with him were Seymour Walden and Wal- do Frank, both of New York City; Charles Stadtfeldt, secretary of the Indiana Communist party, and An- | drew Remes of Indianapolis. All | were released the next day. Chief Yates, who had the back- | ing of Mayor Samuel O. Beecher and the Terre Haute Merchants’ as- | sociation, said neither Browder ‘nor any other Communist’ would be | permitted to air their party doc- | trines over the local radio station; but David J. Bentall of Chicago, Browder's attorney, slipped into the broadcasting booth and delivered the speech his principal had pre- pared while Yates fumed outside | the locked door. ee JST as the maritime unions on the Pacific coast were about to g. on a strike that would have tied up the great shipping industry, the trouble was averted by the signing of a fifteen-day truce between the employers and the workers and the nominal extension for sixty cays of working contracts negotiated after the strike of 1934. The truce provides that maritime unions at the expiration of the pe- riod, October 15, would either agree to arbitration of issues involving wages and hours which are not set- tled, or relations with employers would be broken completely. The negotiations, handled princi- pally by the Department of Labor's ace trouble-shooter, Edward F. Me- Grady, will coniinue during the fif- teen-day period of peace. N WHAT was said by court at- taches to be the first important ruling anywhere on numerous suits filed by packing companies and others against government collec tion of the “windfall” tax, Judge Robert C. Baltzell of the United States district court at Indianapolis, overruled the government's motion to dismiss a suit for an injunction fiied by Kingan and Company, meat packers. The company seeks to enjoin fed- eral government officials from col- lecting a $2,500,000 “windfall” tax, levied in the revenue act of 1936, to recover processing taxes previously assessed under the AAA but later ruled invalid by the supreme court. Judge Baltzell said that he found various ‘‘unusual circumstances’ creating a doubt as to the possibility of the packing company's having adequate remedy at law in some other court. Because of this, he said, it is imperative for his court to grant the packing company the right to sue in federal court. The decision is said to be directing but not controlling in other similar cases in the district. Dismissal of the injunction suit was sought by the government on the ground there is no authority in law for restraining collection of a tax. PPEALS filed by the national labor relations board offer the Supreme court five new opportuni- ties to pass on the constitutionality of the Wagner labor relations court. The board asked the high tribunal to review rulings in a case involv- ing the Jones & Laughlin Steel cor- poration of Pittsburgh, two involv- ing the Freuhauf Trailer company of Canton, Ohio, and two affecting ing company, New York. The labor relations board lost all five cases in lower courts. RANCE at last came to the con- clusion that it could no longer support the franc and Premier Leon Blum's government decided to abandon the gold standard and de valuate the franc to between 4% and § cents. The Nether lands, Latvia and Switzerland immedi- ately determined to follow suit. To save the world from a currency war, the United States, Great Britain and France entered into a “‘gen- Leon Blum tlemen’'s agreement.” The exact nature of this agreement was not but the United States off Certain it is serves the right to depart from the pact if and when its own interests require such a course. An expected outcome of tne now general drop ping of the gold standard may be an international conference for stabili- zation of world currencies This might be held in Washington. Blum called a special session pass legislation, and his plan was given grudging approval by the finance committee of the Its adoption by the chamber, where the ‘‘pop- has a big majority, was senate. The dangerous political situation ended when the senate passed a substitute measure to revalue the French currency but denied the gov- ernment’'s original request for full The government approved the substitute withdrawing its opposition to senate objections to particular The price-fixing problem was solved in this way: After devalua- These however, must be sub- mitted to the national economic council for ratification. From the Chicago Journal of Commerce is taken this plain state ment as to what France's action means to the ordinary American citizen: “Reducing the amount of gold represented by one franc will mean that the average American will be able to travel cheaper in France than for the last two years. French wines should be cheaper in this country and women should be able to buy French perfume for less. That should be true of nearly every- thing else that France exports to the United States—unless this coun- try hikes the tariff on French ex- ports or French prices boom out ol proportion to devaluation. Indirect ly, franc devaluation may keep Americans from war as the act may be a wedge for currency stabiliza- tion the world over and more broth- erly relations between all nations. But don’t lose any sleep over i‘ un- less you are getting an income from someone in France. In that case, since it will take more francs to buy dollars, your income will be cut. Ev- eryone should have an interest in developing sound foreign trade and if franc devaluation starts the ball rolling in the right direction the eventual hope for development is free foreign exchange move- ments. It's necessary for one coun- try’s money to be negotiable in all capitals of the world if trade is flow freely. That's the big goal.” about $530,000,000 compared with a the same period last year.

This heroic garrison joined the insurgents in charging the de- fenders and finally the Socialist troops scattered and fled south- ward over the Tagus river. Their way to Madrid was blocked by Franco's columns. Fascist bombing planes made sev- eral destructive raids on Bilbao, killing a large number of the citi zens, smashing innumerable build- ings and damaging two warships in the harbor. The enragec govern- ment sympathizers demanded that Fascist hostages held in the city ‘e executed in reprisal, and finally a mob of anarchist amazons swarmed aboard a vessel on which many hostages were kept and brutally slaughtered 210 of them ufter put- ting them to the torture. The sav- age women were on their way to a prison to kill 60 woman hostages when they were dispersed by civil guards.

They will give you the super- traction needed to pull through mud and unimproved roads and will save you the time, trouble and money of applying chains. Harvey S. Firestone was born and raised on a farm in Columbiana County, Ohio, which he has operated ever since 1904. It was here on this farm that Mr. Firestone conceived the idea and worked with his tire engineers in developing a practical tire for farm use. Mr. Firestone's experience in farming gave him the realization of the need for a pneumatic tire with lugs of rubber that would increase the drawbar pull, roll easier, save time, and speed up farm operations on cars, trucks, tractors and all wheeled farm implements. ‘ Firestone engineers are continually working with Mr. Firestone on his farm to secure greater farm efficiency. They developed the Ground Grip Tire which is so designed that in soft mud roads it cleans itself and the bars of rubber are so placed that they will not bump on paved roads. The design of this tire is s0 unusual and its performance so amazing that a patent has been granted by the United States Patent Office covering its exclusive features. The secret of the extra traction of Firestone Ground Grip Tires is the scientifically designed rubber lug of the tread. Under this extraordinary super4raction tread are placed two extra layers of Gum-Dipped cords. This isa patented Firestone construction feature which makes it possible to weld this heavy tread to the Gum-Dipped cord body, making it one inseparable unit.
