co is a bit down at the heel in the

Towne Young today granted a tenn
porary injunction commanding those
in charge Of construction Of a funda-
mental Baptist tabernacle here to
cease work pending a hearing before

commissioners; Sol Gillespie, city
building Inspector; the Rev. Earl An
derson. pastor Of the church. and the
Churchill : Humphrey Construction
company.
"A similar injunction last week was
dismissed by Judge Young on the
grounds that il was premature and
should first have been taken up with
the city board Of appeals.
Plaintiffs allege the building per-
nit is void because it proposes 70
erect the tabernacle beyond the

semi-fireproof.

HOW TO VADE
PLEDGE TOLD
BY HAWKINS
Cone johnson Joins In
posing Smith AS
President; Won't Go
To Dry Farley

AUSTIN, July s.-(P-The ques-
tion OF how a candidate for public
office in Texas on the democratic
ticket can "bolt" the national ticket
and yet not violate his pledge for the
state primaries was answered here
Tuesday BY Judge William z. Haw-
kins, Breckenridge, candidate for
Governor, from his own viewpoint.
After he had given out a statement
r~eiterating a decision not to support
Governor Al Smith for president,
Judge Hawkins asserted that presi-
dental nominees are not nominees OF
the July primaries n that Texas
voters and candidates participating in
the primaries under the democratic
pledge are not morally bound to sup
port presidential candidates therein
der.
Judge Hawkins stand with regard
70 the boiling Is parallel to that Of
Mrs. Edith Wilmans, n Of his OPP
ponents for governor, and Senator
Tom Love, candidate for lieutenant
governor, both Of whom have declared
they woald not support Governor
Smith.
The name OF Cone Johnson, state
highway commissioner and veteran
democratic leader, was added late
Monday 10 the list Of the politically
prominent refusing 10 support Smith.
Although Johnson said he does not
favor the Misrepresentation confer
nee called for Asheville, \. c., he
declared he would not support the
New York governor.
Mrs. Claude dc Van Watts, presi-
dent Of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union ~ Texas. said Tuesday
that she viii attend the conference.
She said before the Houston national
convention that the W. c. T. U. would
bolt Smith If nominated.
Johnson's statement at Houston
that iii am q democrat when de-
claring against the Asheville confer
ence, was generally interpreted there
as at least indirectly indicating that
he would support Smith.

G.O.P.FARMER
LEADER URGES
Dem SUPPORT
Agriculture Plank Is
Given Praise By
Peek, Chairman of
Corn Belt Farley

CHICAGO, July 3.-(P-The agri-
culture plank in the democratic ma
tional platform has proved so salts
factory to George N. Peek, chairman
Of the executive committee represent
ing the cor belt conference, that in
a statement issued here he has urged
republican farmers to vote the DEM
ocratic ticket in November.
Peek, himself a republican. said the
republican party turned its back
on the farmers at Kansas City and
then "added insult TO injury" by NOM
mating for president "the arch enemy
Of a square deal for American agri-
culture"
In Houston on the other hand, the
Peek statement said, "the farmers
were given the greatest consideration
in every way. Their reception was
most cordial. their views on a plat
form were solicited, and a real plank
was adopted which il the most favor
able for agriculture ever written in
the platform Of any political party
in our history"
Farmers in the grain, livestock and
cotton states will recognize in the
democratic plank for agriculture a
new declaration of independence, !"
the statement said.
Peek said that "the sole solution Of
the farm problem" offered by the re-
publican party nominee sis to keep
on starving put farmers until pro-
duction Is reduced to the demands Of
the domestic markets"
IF England herself were directly
prescribing an American agricultural
policy, she could hardly do better
for England" he added in criticizing
the republican plank.
Gov. MeMullen of Nebraska, a lead
er in the farmer revolt" movement
also has praised the democratic plat
forms farm plank.

BALLOON RACE
IS UNDECIDED
German Entry Still Is
Unreported; May
Be Winner

DETROIT, July 3.-P-The win
ner Of the Gordon Bennett inte-nA
tional balloon race was in doubt to-
day owing TO the fact that one Of the
German entries, the Munster, pilot
ed by Ferdinand Eimermacher, had
not reported.
The other IL entries made safe
landings in the Virginias and North
Carolina.
The Blanchard, French balloon,
was given first place unofficially
among those that have landed, hav-
Ing negotiated approximately ATS
miles airline from the starting
point. The Blanchard landed near
Walnut Cove, N. c.. about Is miles
farther than the distance apparent
ly covered by the u. s. a. entry
which landed at Kenbridge, Va.
Whether the missing Munster out
distanced these balloons was prob
lematical. 1t has been unrepor.ed
since a few hours after the takeoff
here Saturday. II was suggested
Eimermacher may have been unable
to maneuvre the balloon through the
slow winds prevalent in the lower
lakes district Of Pennsylvania Sat-
urday and as a result may have been
forced to land in some remote sec
ton Of the latter state. Another
suggestion was that the balloon may
have ventured too near the Atlantic
coast line and have been swept to
sea.
LYNCHBURG, Va, July 3.-tP)-
J. 3. Cox of Big Island reported
today that a big balloon II stranded
on the east slope of the Blue Ridge
mountains on Hunting creek, eight
miles from Big Island. Report is
that two Germans were manning the
balloon and that they landed IN
hurt. The balloon is said to have
landed late Sunday.
