CHICAGO PUBLISHER MAKES
BITTER ATTACK UPON NRA

you. The law is that of the star
chamber"
The NRA has stripped citizens of
"inviolable property rights" max
ing them bow to the will of the ad-
ministrator, the publisher said.
"LeL us say you fail to do So" he
assumed. 1.-THE government employ
ees who issued the edict are the
judges. The administrator whose
edict you have offended is the judge
and the law back of the edict says
the verdict is final. Trial by jury is
denied you. You are as helpless as
man who offended the Tudor king
and stood before the kings favorites
in the star chamber. Neither you
nor any other citizen of the United
States has ever had such thing
happen to him before in this coun-
try, not since TITS, not even under
the sedition act
Whatever may be said for the
purposes of the recovery act, such
are its consequences, and whatever
conditions may be today, I do not
believed they can be improved by
going back on our own history and
taking up methods from elsewhere. y
Replying to Mccormick, Chester
Rowell of the San Francisco Chron-
icle defended the NRA as an emer-
gency measure enacted in the hope
Of pulling us out of the mire."
"The rights of the individual in
crisis must sometimes be subju-
gated in favor of the benefit to the
community Rowell said. '"The du-
ties of property owner do not end
with his protection and upkeep OF

REPORT LOST
PRIESTS SAFE

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Oct. 25. U.P)
Two Franciscan priests, lost for
four days in the isolated Kaibab
National forest in northeastern
Arizona, were reported safe today.
Local diocesan officials said Fa-
ther Arnold, superior of st. Mi
chael's parish on the Navajo IN
dian reservation, and Father Mar
/ cellus were found by two fellow
priests and three Indian guides who
set out in search for them after they
! disappeared on a deer hunt. They
were unharmed.
The party had been encamped in
tie forest since October Is. Last
Friday, the two priests left their
companions, Fathers Lukachukai
and zudepered, and set out with RI
files to hunt the soft-eyed mule deer
abounding in the national preserve
The hunt carried them from we'll
defined trails and before nightfall
they were lost in the morass of tim
ber.
Alarmed when the huntsmen fail
ed to return to camp, Fathers Luka-
chukai and zudepered formed a
small searching party with three
Indian guides they had brought
with them from the reservation. 1t
was not until late Monday that the
searchers came across the two lost
priests, miles from camp.
News of the search did not reach
Flagstaff until Monsignor L. Duval
of the local diocese received a let
ter from Father Connolly of Tue
son. The letter was followed a short
time later by word that the two
padres had been found safe.
Kaibab national forest extends
for miles on the north rim of the
Grand Canyon. 1t is a favorite re-
sort for those who yearn for shot
at the huge deer that are protected
during most of the year by strict
federal and state game laws. The
season opened only few weeks ago,
attracting hundreds of hunters.
Clark Gable, the sceen actor, is now
encamped in the forest, bent on
bagging mule deer or antelope.

MILK DUMPED
BY FARMERS
IN MIDWEST
Blockade Highways To Prevent
Shipments AS Part Of Gener-
al Strike.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 25. U.P)
-Midwestern farmers dumped milk
and turned back shipments of live
stock to market today in an effort
to enforce the strike called by the
National Farm Holiday association.
Farm organizations in Iowa and
Wisconsin notified dairymen and
farmers of their intention to con-
tinue to blockade highways to stop
shipments to market by "forceful
means if necessary"
At Milan, Wis, 100 farm strike
picketS invaded a cheese plant and
dumped 10000 pounds OF milk from
watts. Trucks loaded with livestock
were turned back near Sioux City,
Iowa. Deliveries of produce were
halted on highways near Veilles-
vile, Wis.
PicketS blockaded reads leading to
Strafford, Wis, by piling timber
across them. Production was halted
in cheese factories of Barron, Rum,
Rusk, Polk and Chippewa counties
in Wisconsin.
sociations in Iowa, Nebraska and
South Dakota met in Sioux City to
lay plans for enforcing the strike
called Saturday by Milo Reno, pre-
Sident of the association.
A resolution endorsing picketing
and declaring, this is war, nothing
less" was adopted. The resolution
called for establishment of concen-
tration points where farm products
may be sold on a cost of production
basis, but not below that level.
Representatives of II creameries
in Chippewa and Dunn counties,
Wisconsin, met at Blo7mer, Wis,
and decided to close their plants
for five days, beginning Friday, in
sympathy with the farm strike.
The movement met opposition
from several sources.
Representative of the Wisconsin
Cooperative milk pool in Waukesha,
Milwaukee and Washington coun-
ties, voted against joining the strike
"at this time
Keith Neville, who resigned last
week as chairman OF the Nebraska
NRA board because he felt the NRA
had not helped the farmer, said
there was no hope of adjusting in
equalitieS hrough the farm strike.
Similar outburSts of farm unrest
in Iowa and Wisconsin last year led
to many instances of violence, des-
truction Of considerable property, at
least two deaths and numerous in
juries.
The association, which claims
membership of 100000 farmers in
81 states, asked farmers to with
hold all produce from market, boy
colt merchants, and refuse to pay
taxes or debts until farm prices
reach cost of production.

$5000,000 federal loan which would
be used to finance the slaughter
of all tubercular cattle in Califor-
mia, was sought by the state de-
partment of agriculture today as
a means of solving dairy problems

their diseased animals.
The plan will be presented to
the farm bureau federation during
its meeting in Santa Barbara next
month.

CHICAGO, Ocs. rs. U.P) An
argument between Senator Royal
is. Copeland and Edward (Spike)
o 'Donnell, Chicago gangster, over
authorship of the "law of self
preservation climaxed the hearing
before a senate subcommittee on
|racketeering and kidnapping.
O'Donnell, volunteer witness
had been forced to sit in an ante

Senator Copeland is chairman, had
concluded the hearing with testi-
mony presented by Mayor Edward
Kelly and John (Jake the Barber)
Factor, victim of a recent kidnap-
ing.
When the hearing terminated the
gangster was waiting for Senator
Copeland. A large crowd gathered
when the two were introduced.
"I wanted you on the stand to
ask you how to keep the youth of
the land from becoming criminals, -
Senator Copeland said.
"And I could have told you
plenty O'Donnell replied.
"Listen, I'm going to tell you
something,'' he continued. GA
judge here yesterday said I offered
to bump off a couple of guys for
$4,000.
"Look me over Look me over

amt it?'

recommendation "about this crime

"All you need,'' he said, "is

ton from the courts -
Senator Copeland agreed to that,

Zeppelin, after being buffeted
through the night by strong
wind, landed at Sam. (EST) to-
day at the Akron airport.
Although the Graf was tied to
the mooring mast at 5:04 am, it
was not until 6:39 am. that the
huge ship was backed into the
hangar-the same hangar that once
housed the Inflated U.S.S. Akron
and the new United States dirig-
ible, the U.S.S. Macon.
Throughout the night, the huge
Graf had cruised over the city,
waiting for the wind and rain
squalls to abate.
With the approach of daybreak,
a calm settled over the area, and
the ground crew which had been
on duty all night, moored the big
ship.

LONDON, Oct. %. (U.H = Presi-
dent Roosevelt's IS gold policy has
added to confusion in British
American war debt negotiations at
Washington, it was understood to-
day after a cabinet meeting which

Reports that the Washington ne
gotiations had failed were denied
as were reports that Sir Frederick
Leith- Ross, British negotiator
might return to London next week
It was admitted that American
ideas of a settlement and British
offers of a lump sum compromise
payment were still wide apart, II
not unbridgeable. 1t was in this
connection that it was said the new
gold policy had lent further uncer-

Up HIS HUGE
BANK PENSION
Former Head OF Chase Nation
al Finds Going Is Too Hot
Under Senate Probe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. U.P) -
Albert H. Wiggin today gave up his
100000 year pension as former
head of the Chase bank as senate
investigation of loans under his di-
rection brought out hints of graft
in carrying out Cuban public works
financed by the Chase organization.
Bank officials were unable today
to prove statements made in their
prospectus inviting American inves-
tors to purchase Cuban securities. A
bank vice president testified that no
investigation was made by the bank
to determine whether public con-
struction paid for actually had been
performed.
The bank contended it had no re-
sponsibility to check statements of
the officials of a sovereign state.
Announcement of Wiggin's re-
nunciation of the 100000 retire
ment came unexpected as the in
vestigation recessed for lunch.
Revelation of Virgins big pension
last week was accompanied by testi-
mony that his salary and bonuses
from the Chase organization from
1928 to 1888 aggregated $2,367, ,02O.
His big salary year was 1928 when
he received as head of the bank and
its security affiliate salary OF
$425 900 plus a 100000 bonus
Another development of the NOR
ming was the showing by Ferdinand
Pecora, committee counsel, that the
Chase National had planned to pass
along to the American investing
public a $3O,O0O,0OO debt owed to the
Bank of Cuba. The bank officials
said, however, that the deal was not
put through. Pecora characterized
it as a plan to unload on the invest
ing public.
Reads Letter
Pecora read letter into the rec
ord written by the late Robert I.
Barr, then a Chase vice president to
Herrv Catlin, Chase representative
In Havana.
1ne letter said there was IAN ac-
tive short term security market" in
New York, and the bankers partici-
pating in the financing syndicate
felt they "can sell the serial certi-
ficates in portfolio"
These were the $30,O00,000 of cer-
tificates which had not been sold to
the public.
Earlier, Pecora had produced let
ters and memoranda which had
passed between Chase officials tell
ing of Cuba's weakened financial
position. He asked:
Then, these banks, knowing what
the situation was in Cuba, thought
they could unload on the public
these $300O0,000 of certificates?"
Sheppard Morgan, vice-president of
Chase National bank, replied that
the proposed sale never was made
