URGES ENFORCING
OF z AMENDMENTS
Tinkham Demands Enabling
Act for Thirteenth and
Fourteenth.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Calling attention to the lack Of laws
to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, Representative Tinkham,
Republican, Massachusetts, has de-
manded that President Hoover submit
the enforcement Of them along with
the eighteenth to his national investi-
eating committee, yet to be named, or
recommend to Congress the passage OF
laws to enforce them.
The demand was presented in letter
to the Chief Executive made public to-
day by the Bay State Representative.
In the letter Tinkham declared that
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments were placed in the Constitution in
conformity with its principles, while the
eighteenth had taken away from citi-
Zens the right of governing their pri-
vate conduct and had given it to 'po-
litical system which daily becomes more
corrupt and brutal"
The letter said the fourteenth amend
ment, which makes Negroes citizens and
gives them representation, and the f1f-
tenth, which prohibits States from CIV
ing preference In suffrage to citizens
on account Of race, color and former
servitude. 'are now wholly and grossly
nullified in many States"

CHINESE PROBLEMS

Miss Jane Ward Will Address
World Fellowship Forum To-
morrow Afternoon.

Miss Jane Ward Of New York, who
has spent many years observing condi-
tons in China, will deliver an address
on that country at luncheon of the
World Fellowship Forum in the Young
Womens Christian Association Building,
Seventeenth and K streets, tomorrow
afternoon at 1890 o'clock.
The confusion of ideas in the United
States about China may be largely due
to the variations in news that has been
published about it, Miss Ward says.
Miss Ward, 1t Is said, has great hopes
for the success of the Nationalist party.
The Chinese face gigantic problems
along social economic and educational
lines, but these, she thinks, China
should be left to solve in her own way.

ton of Labor and all its allied organi-
cations was pledged yesterday by Will
liam Green, president of the federation,
to the prosecution of alleged kidnapers
OF two labor organizers, who charge
several Elizabethton citizens with fore
ing them to leave town.
Green's promise was made in speech
delivered here yesterday afternoon to
more than $500.
Shortly before he made his speech
Green talked with the two organizers,
Edward McGrady and Alfred Hoffman,
heard their version of the incident
which brought him from Washington to
Happy Valley and then made his pub
lie pledge.
The alleged attempted kidnapping of
John B. Penix, federation representa-
tive, who organized local of the United

cent strikes here, was referred to by all
the speakers.
Applause Is Orderly.
There we're no demonstrations other
than orderly applause. Workers from

was the reason for the organizers pres

who think that by kidnapping two of
our representatives, they can destroy
your faith" Green shouted in his talk.
When your rights are aSSailed. when
violence is used to attack the freedom
and liberty Of your people by men gov
erned by passion. the millions repre-
sented by the Federation of Labor rise
to your Defense" Green said.
'The perpetrators of this outrage will
be brought to Justice. They will
find out whether crimes of that kind
can be committed and go unpublished"
Green Sees Quick Action.
Green was confident action would be
taken Immediately. He said prosecution
would be instituted if Hoffman and
McGrady were able to identify positive
ly the members of the group which
Selze0 tnem. BOtn nave SalQ Lney rec
ognized most of the men.
They will be prosecuted to the full
est extent in civil and criminal courts"
the labor leader said
After his address, Green held a con-
ference with union leaders. They said
they intended to confer with Hoffman
and McGrady and possibly draw up a
list of "other alleged business men" the
two said had a part in the alleged
kidnapings. Six Elizabethton business
men have been charged with felonious
assault in connection with the incidents
Long before Green arrived. the audi
forum was filled, amplifiers were in
stalled outside, and many persons sat
or stood on the mountainside.

ADVISORY COUNCIL
READYFOR SERVICE
Members to Call on D. C.
Commissioners as First
Official Duty.

The first official action of the newly
elected citizens advisory council will be
call on the District Commissioners
probably late this. week. The members
will be introduced by DR.. George D.
Havenner, chairman Of the council.
The members of the council will not
take an oath of office. This was dis
carded last year after a protest to the
Commissioners by representatives OF the
Board of Trade. the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, the Chamber
of Commerce and the Bar Association.
The complaint was made that the oath
gave the council members quasi-offi-
cial standing at the District Building
not enjoyed by the other organizations.
Facing a Busy Year.
The council is expected to put in an
unusually busy year this year. One of
its members. Charles I. Stengle. for
mer member of Congress from Alabama
who was elected to a second term Sat-
urday night, said today he will endeavor
to have the council get to work on a
program covering all District building
needs and see If the program can be
enacted into legislation by constructive
efforts.

Ample Authority Claimed.
Mr. Stergle says he believes the coun-
Gil has ample authority under its con-
stitution to pursue the line he has in
dictated. There was some objection IN
the Federation of Citizens Associations,
which named seven Of the nine men,
bers of the council recently. to the
council overstepping its constitutional
bounds. but the majority sentiment is
believed to favor Mr. Stengle's idea.
Under the constitution the council is
an advisory body to put the Commits
sioners in touch with public sentiment
on questions confronting the city heads.

still is king in the southland, but
his throne is a bit uneasy under

years he may have to share domain
with younger King Cottons who are
growing up in other lands. This is
the gist of a prophetic report TO
Economic Geography, by Professor
Earl c. Case of the University OF
Cincinnati.
The very factors that helped to
establish the southern part Of the
United States as the leading cotton
producing area in the world now are
helping in its decline, and In the
rise of rival cotton regions. Our
cotton belt is a compact block of
fertile soil with a climate well suited
to cotton growing. But the fertility
OF the soil Is declining, End the
climate has been as favorable to the
enemies of cotton-boll weevil and
the rest--as it was to the cotton it
self.
Bad years affect the whole area
and may cut down the yield so per
cent, because it is all in one piece
whereas cotton lands elsewhere in
the world, being cut up into smaller
and scattered blocks, escape in most
parts when disaster visits any par
ticular point.
Another important factor that Is
threatening the supremacy of Amer
tcan cotton is the rise in the cost of
cotton-farming labor ir this coun-
try. Even though the Negro and
