MORALE BETTER
SINCE STATUS
|SF|XED
Everything Anticipated Has
Come to Pass and All
Breathe Easier

The most hectic week Fed
eral employees have known for
many decades is ending, with
q lot of important items still
unsettled but with it apparent
that the full drastic provisions
of the economy bill will pre-
vail not only as a temporary
measure but for long after
the nation s financial crisis is
past.
The economy bill, which has
held the center of the stage for
weeks, came to a head as the
week drew to a close. The de-
partmental appropriation bills
only marked time the past few
days, however, and apparently
some will not be settled until the
last hours of Congress before
adjournment.
Meanwhile, the uncertainty, the
dickering. the battles over GER
tain provisions Of the economy
plan, plus tn: fact that most
Federal departments are now
beginning a new fiscal year with
out a dime of regular appropria-
tions to run on, have kept the
morale of Uncle Sans workers
at a low ebb.
Confidence AStray
Noted far and wide for their
complacent trust in the solidarity
Of their employer, in the per-
manence of their positions, and
in their general status quo, this
week climaxed for hundreds Of
thousands of Government work
ers over the country a long period
Of anxiety and worry.
Unless some phases Of the
economy bill are repealed, as
Senator Bingham insists, the en-
ployes now know that they will
get no more annual leave: that
they must retire Immediately on
reaching the age limit; that pro-
motions within grades and auto
matte salary increases must be
forgotten; that married women
will be discharged: that vacan-
cies will not be filled; that 80
day payless furloughS are GER
tain for all, that lay-offs indefi-
nitely are likely for many, and
that overtime pay will henceforth
be a thing of the past.
Strain Is Over
Uncle Sans employees have
felt for months that disaster was
impending, but the form was in
definite. AS this week ended,
many employees frankly said they
were glad the strain Of uncer-
tainty had ended; that they
know now what to expect, and
can adopt-if possible-a philo-
sophie attitude. But it has been
q week to remember, for all,

members Of the Camp Marks

Doctors who visit Camp

everybody except little Helen
Sayre, tow-headed daughter Of
Henderson Sayre, former Ma

not of the medical profession.
The reason is that two months

out of work over two years and

BATTLES FACED,
VICTORIES WON
BY ROOSEVELT
Democratic Nominee Scores
Triumphs in Fights for
Health and Office

Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
the 1882 standard bearer Of
the Democratic party, is being
compared with his dis
tinguished cousin, "T. r." by
his supporters.
Born January 80, 1882, at
the Hyde Park IN. W estate,
which is still his home, the
Democratic nominee for the
presidency has had a varied
career, admittedly somewhat
less spectacular than that of
Teddy, but a fighting one.
Educated at Harvard Univer.
sity and Columbia Law School
for legal career, he became
active in politics and was soon
at loggerheads with the Tam.
many forces of New York City.
Daniels Assistant
He was elected to the New
York Senate in 1910, resigning
this post to become Assistant
Secretary of the Navy under
President Wilson in 1913 and held
the latter post until 1920.
He first clashed with Tam
many shortly after he reported
at the State Capitol at Albany
and is credited with defeating
the movement to send w. J.
sheehan, Tammany choice, to
the United States Senate.
He also took a leading part in
reforming the election laws Of
the State to permit direct choice
of United States Senators by
voters.
In 1920 Roosevelt was the vice
presidential candidate and was
running mate of Gov. James M.
Cox of Ohio.
A year or so later he was
stricken with fnfantile paralysis
and waged winning fight
against that disease, which has
one leg.
Twice Nominated Smith
In 1924 Roosevelt nominated
Gov. AL Smith of the Empire
State for the Presidency and
again performed this service for
the Happy Warrior" in 1928 at
Houston. Tex.
He was elected governor Of the
State in 1928 and was renorn'
mated for this post in 1880 by
Smith.
Little has been made public OF
what caused the rift between
these two political friends in the
past two years.
Roosevelt was married March
IT, 1905, to his sixth cousin,
Eleanor Roosevelt. a first cousin
of the original Theodore Roose-
velt.
Wars on Disease
They have five children-James,
who took an active part in cam.
for his father in the
1882 fight for the Democratic
nomination; Anna, Elliott, Frank
lin D., jr., and John A. Roosevelt.
Roosevelt, in addition to fight
ing for his health in the siege Of
infantile paralysis, has been a vic
time of influenza and pneumonia
attacks, each severe.

FARMERS FACING
PAYOFF To U. S.
More Than Half Million
Must Pay Loans.

By Scripps-HoWard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-More
than half a million farmers in all
parts Of the country are preparing
now to discharge their direct debts
to the federal government.
From the government, 507, 635 of
them have borrowed $64, 202, 204.5O,
through the department of agricul-
ture and the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation. All loans are
due Nov. 30.
Meanwhile, the government still
is collecting on its 1881 feed, seed
and fertilizer loans, the repayment
to date totaling approximately go
per cent of the total outlay last
year.
The agriculture department also
is making up its mind about what to
do with the 100000 odd bales Of cot
ton it accepted as collateral for last
years loans at cents a pound.
Agriculture department officials
evidently expect all borrowers to be
prepared to meet their debts on Nov.
30, and no plans for extensions are
under consideration.
New loans to farmers will be han
died through the agricultural credit
corporations, recently designated by
the R. F. c., and about to start
operation.

HALT ALLEGED
PHONE PIRATINC
Service Commission Acts in
Cicero Case.

For the first time since it's crea-
ton, the public service commission
affirmed its right to regulate tele-
phone service outside of munich
palities, an order issued Friday de-
handing alleged pirating of phone
patrons be halted in Cicero town
ship, Upton county.
This order is expected to bring to
an end the controversy between the
Union Telephone Company and the
Upton Telephone Company, operat-
ing in that section.
The alleged pirating started when
Cicero township farmers were de-
MED their petition to receive Serv-
ice from the Upton company in
stead of the Union company. The
commission refused the order on
the grounds that the territory
rightfully comes under the permit
Of the Union company.
The farmers then built "co-
operative" line and were alleged to
have used materials supplied by the
Upton company.
One night, according to the COM
plant, a part time employee of the
Upton company, aided by farmers,
hooked the cooperative line to the
Upton company'S line
In the order, the commission
pointed out that the statutes, in set
ting up the body and permitting
the issuance of indeterminate per-
mits, did so in order to halt pirating
competition.

OhiO'S Vote to Hoover,
Pledge of P. O. Chief
Walter F. Brown Takes 1t
on Self to Gather in
Electoral Ballots.
BY NED BROOKS
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Post-
maSter-General Walter F. Brown
personally has pledged himself to
deliver Ohio's twenty-six electoral
votes to President Herbert Hoover
in the November election, it was
learned today.
While retaining his leading role in
the national strategy of the Repub-
lican campaign, Brown will concen-
trate on the task of winning his
own state, regarded by leaders of
both parties as one of the national
election backgrounds.
Brown will follow his customary
tactics of directing operations in Ohio
from behind the scenes, avoiding
the spotlight.
Browns attempt to repeat Hoo
ver'S Ohio victory will take him on
frequent trips to the Buckeye state
One is scheduled this weekend; he
will visit leaders in Toledo, his home
city.
Despite Hoover's 100000 margin
over AL Smith in 1928, Republican
Strategists are concerned over his
chances for repeating.
They are not discounting their re-
verses in 1880, when six Republican
congressman were deposed, and
Democrat candidates won the sena-
torial and gubernatorial contests.
Brown directed the Hoover often
sive in Ohio four years ago.

EARLY DRAMA
INDIANS AVENCE
WHITE TRADER
Jimmy Hays, First Resi-
dent of Race in Pixies Peak
Region, Thrilling Episode.

By United Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. g.
The name of Jimmy HayS--soms
say it was Jimmy Daugherty-trader
and first white resident of the Pixies
Peak region, definitely is linked
with the early history Of FL Paso
county.
Hays came to the new country
back in the early 40s, or there
abouts. He established a camp site
that is known today as Jimmy's
camp-where later a camp for cat
tlemen was maintained.
The youthful trader for the Aston
Fur Company provided one of the
most exciting stories of early Colo
RADIO history.
Where his bones may be-the
legend tells that Indians buried his
body beneath his old cabin-is a
matter of conjecture.
Trade Medium of Indians
1t is fairly certain that his camp
was eleven miles east of Colorado
Springs. There was a spring sur
rounded by cottonwoods.
Hays served as a trade medium
for the Utes and Arapahoes of the
region.
The Indians brought their pelts
to the cabin. Hays then made
trip into st. Louis, to the Astor post.
and disposed of the furS.
He returned to Colorado with his
pack horses laden with treasures for
the 1ndians-beads, toys, axes. fire.
arms, and most of all, "firewater."
When he arrived at the camp site.
Hays would build huge fire on the
mesa.
1t was the signal to the Indiansb
tnat he had returned. They mounted
their small ponies and cantered
across the plains and hills to the
cabin Tor their trinkets.
Mortified at Staying
For several seasons, the trader
Ilved at the camp. Indians brought
him water, and brought him corn.
He found plenty of small game to
satisfy his needs.
one evening, band Of UteS, be-
llevlng it was about time for HavS
to have returned from the st. Louis
trip, rode down to his cabin. There
had been no bright fires on the
mesa, and they investigated.
When they rode up to the rude
| adobe hut, they saw the lifeless
body of Hays stretched across the
cabin door SILL
The Indians were Mortified Not
only had they lost a friend. but
their nearest contact for barter and
trade, which enabled them to dis
pose OF their furs, was stolen from
them.
Eleven Assassins Hanged
Fresh tracks led from the cabin.
The Indians followed the assassins'
trail. Near dusk, the Indians APP
preached the juncture of the sandy
creek, and saw a group of Mexican
guerillas seated around a fire.
In the glow Of the campfire, they
saw piled the lNpt taken from Jimmy
Hays-to them proof of their guilt.
The Indians waited until dark
then descended upon the murder
ers.
When they departed, eleven
Mexicans were hanging by their
toes from eleven branches of a
single cottonwood-grim testimony
to the Indians friendship for Jimmy
Hays.

Crop Now Bringing 9 Cents
a Pound; Means Money
in Farm Pockets.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times staff Writer

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 3.-Texas
skies are blue again, and the folks
are singing Happy Days Are Here
Again." just as if they believed it.
Many of them do believe it.
Nine cent-a-pound cotton is the
chief reason.
This is far above the scent COT
ton of September, 1881, and the s.
cent cotton of few months ago.
1t means money in the farmers
pockets, reduction of his debts at
the bank and at the country store,
new shoes for the children, new
clothes for mother and, in many
instances, a new automobile.
Cotton is the money crop OF
Texas. Joy and sorrow follow its
price movements.
Right now it is moving upward,
and many Texans think it is going
higher.
Unlike the eastern industrial CEN
tiers, where continuously increasing
unemployment figures belle the high
hopes stimulated by rising stock
market prices, the increase in cot
ton is not something to anticipate
it is a reality.
The 1882 Texas cotton crop is just
3,826,000 bales, according to the last
estimate of the department of agri-

culture, out of a nationwide esti-
mated total of 100000.
The Texas decrease is 1874 900
bales from the 1881 crop of 5,27O,OO0
bales, while the nationwide esti-
mate is $4,000 bales less than the
1881 crop of 100000 bales.
Insect damage, reduced acreage,
lack Of money to buy fertilizer,
which resulted in lowered yield per
acre, and weather conditions are
contributory causes to the reduced
production.
Texans believe the Sept. 8 esti-
mate of agriculture will show a still
greater decrease.
This, they think, will send COT
ton permanently above the 10-cent
mark.
