Declaring his confidence that Tex

eighteenth amendment and little

launched a whirlwind campaign to
keep his state from joining the
anti-prohibition parade.

states viii follow" Sheppard said,
addressing an open-air gathering.

America from undoing the work

Campaigns With Sound Truck !
Travelling in his own sound
truck, the little gray-haired Texan
opened his fight against repeal at
Hughes Springs, a village in the
piney hills of east Texas.
All through the August heat the
senator has been speaking two or
three times daily, following a
schedule calling for speeches in
each Of the states congressional
districts before the election August

Tossing aside his coat and mop
ping his perspiring brew, Shep-
pard displays the determination Of
a crusader against the foe he be-
lieved he had conquered Ii years
ago.

His audiences, including a large
rural representation that comes
from a 50-mile radius in farm
wagons and automobiles. pack
courthouse squares and city parks.
'sThe millionaires and brewers
are spending millions in this
fight" Sheppard charges in typical
address. replying to arguments of
repealists that return of liquor
would have economic advantages.
The millionaires want the
drinking public to pay their taxes.
while the brewers want to amass
fortunes at your expense.
They offer you beer when your
wives and children need bread.
Concluding his address, Shep-
pard stepped from the platform to
shake hands with hundreds who
crowded about him. His 81 years
Of service in congress have given

WOMAN PLAYS AN
IMPORTANT PART
in NRA POSITION
MRS. MARY HARTMAN RUM
sEY OF NEW YORK is HEAD
OF CONSUMERS ADVISORY
BOARD
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
Guy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-one
of the most important jobs in the
NRA is held by a woman Mrs
Mary Hartman Rumsey of New
York, head of the consumers adj
visory board.
That her duties have been ex-H
acting was indicated recently
when nervous breakdown
brought orders from her physician
that she must rest for few days.
The enforced vacation came at
the end of q lively week that had
seen her in a dispute with . pro-
fessor member Of her committee,
a dispute in which she had asserted
strongly her rights as a commit
tee head.
Consumer Safeguard
Her boards job is to protect the
rights of consumers and to it she
recently called as q member, Mrs,
Hugh Johnson, wife of the NRA
administrator, naming her also to
the complaint committee.
Mrs. Rumsey has become one of
the most familiar figures at NRA
headquarters. At every code hear
ing, and at times there are as
many as three going on at a time,
she may be seen. And like the
other officials Of the NRA. she is
at her office in the department of
commerce building late at night.
Busy Heiress
The daughter and heiress of E.
j. Hartman, in addition to her
work at the NRA, has two Virgin
Ia farms to run, as well as an es-
tate in New York. There are
three children to be looked after.
She is a personal friend of
Francis Perkins, secretary of la
Dor, and lives with her in Wash
ington. She and the labor sec
rotary have been friends and CO.
workers for years.
One of Mrs. Rumsey's princi-
pal duties is to educate the public.
1t is up to her to get the public
to buy only with those establish
ments that display the Blue Eagle.
Complaints from various indi-
yiduals are handled in her division
by Mrs. Johnson. Grievances from
those in large or small industries
are given the same attention.
Checking Up
Those who violate the Presi-
dents unemployment agreement
win hear from Mrs. Rumsey's d.
vision.
The difficulties viii be aired
a-plenty, the idea being that ii
will be up to the public to make a
decision as to fair play.
Mrs. Ruussey, after the preIimi-
nary stages Of the NRA are over.
probably viii be one Of the most
important figures in the national
recovery administration.
Now pressure il heing brought
