Home RULE FOR
CITIES IS URGED
Governor Richie Talks Before
Virginia Institute

University, Va, Aug. II (UP)-
More home rule for cities is neces-
sary for democracy. Governor Albert
c. Richie of Maryland said today
at the University of Virgnia's insti-
tute of public affairs.
City people are becoming rebel
lious and resentful against rural in
through the state legislatures.
Richie said.
Both the ruralites and urbanites
show signs of becoming class con-
scious,' he declared. 1T is a con-
hict that goes deeper than most of
lis realize. and has obvious elements
of danger.
1T probably explains in part the
sort of social antagonism and bitter
ness that manifests itself in such
movements as the ku klux Khan, or
lsteadism, or mathematician
Richie said he foresaw possible
development of a law of diminish
ing returns in city development
when municipalities may agitate to
keep people out instead of bringing
them in. and to make themselves
better instead of bigger.
Richie pleaded for democratic
government and increased interest of
the people in politics.
Il am convinced that if demo-
craCy is to fail as form OF govern
ment it will be because our munich
pal governments have failed u.s. he
asserted ''Fascism and sovictism
and syndicalism are bred of city con-
ditions.'
Richie said the countryman,
thinks the modern city has become
materialistic and soulless with too
many affairs to the unknown God"
1T is hard for him to believe that
the dainty flapper can ever become
the mother of the race, or that you
can breed virilc patriots in the music
halls. He is sure that in our bigger
cities, God and mammon are met at
Armageddon. He cannot understand
the things that animate the life of
the city man. ,. The ur-
banite, on his side. has Just as many
ideas that are wrong or half wrong
about the Countryman.'

New York, Aug. IL (UP)-With

men, commented: Radicals all over
the world have been making politi-
cal hay out of the case. They will
continue to do so in whichever way
the dice of fate finally roll for Sacco
and Vanzetti."
The Evening World choses TO ma
fault with government officials who
announced a sweeping movement"
against aliens in this country. 1t Is
hardly fair, the newspaper said, to
blame aliens for the protests and
demonstrations.
why this attempt to use the Sac

people against foreigners?" the edi-
torial asked. lat = time when
many believe that prejudice against

Senate Probe of Press Influence
Lays Basis for Ousting Kellogg

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA sweep
ing investigation Of charges that the
senate department Influenced the AS
ISOLATED Press to carry an inspired
story regarding alleged "Bolshevist
activities" in Mexico was demanded
on the floor Of the senate this after
noon by Senator Wheeler, democrat,
of Montana
Wheeler urged that the senate for
eign relations committee conduct the
inquiry and summon Secretary Of
State Kellogg, along with officials of
the Associated Press, international
News Service and United Press to
learn the truth of the charges.
Kellogg Faces Custer.
II the charges are proved over KEEL
logg's recent denial, made in response
to a house resolution of inquiry,
Wheeler declared the secretary of
state should be dismissed.
Wheeler first read a story pub
lished by Paul Y. Anderson, a Wash
ington correspondent for the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, charging the state de-
partment with having inspired the
Associated Press story on Mexican
Bolshevism" The story set forth
that representatives Of the three lead
ing press services were called to the
state department by Assistant Sore
carry an article based on Olds' state
matter of Importance"
Odds then told the newspaper men
that the department desired publicity
on the alleged action Of Mexico in
spreading a stream of Bolshevism
thru Central America" the story con
tinued. Two of the press associations
declined to carry the story without
the state department assuming official
responsibility, Anderson added, but
subsequently the Associated Press did
carry an article baed on Olds' state
ments.
Wheeler Hits State Department.

sible on the part OF the state depart
ment to give out story which it re-
fuses to sign its name to. 1t is rep
rehensible to ask any newspaper to
circulate false propaganda or propa-
ganda against any country with which
we are on friendly terms"
Wheeler then read Kellogg's single
sentence denial of the charges as con-
tanned in a message to the house.
Wheeler then read Anderson's reply
to Kellogg's denial. The senator re-
ferred to Anderson as a newspaper
man we'll known to senators, who be-
lieve in his integrity"
Questions KelIoge's Verseity.
In his reply Anderson said: every
correspondent knew this story was
inspired and / sought to learn who
had inspired it," His information,
Anderson said, was received from a
gentleman whose word l would ac-
cept any time against that OF Secre-
tary Kellogg" and showed the Asso-
ciated Press story had been inspired
by the state department.

twill take notice of these charges
made by the leading newspapers of
the country. 1t ought to call Secre-
tary Kellogg before it, along with
representatives of the Associated
Press. International News Service and
United Press and get their versions
of this story. If it is true that the
secretary of state is giving out loose
propaganda and loose statements and
circulating them the length and
breadth of the country to stir up the
people to the point where they will
break off friendly relations with a
neighboring country, Mr.. Kellogg
ought not to remain as secretary of
