 MIRA is in no sense a czardom, " Johnson said. Ut is a sort of rules committee where coaches of indus trial and labor teams are collabor- ating to make a fairer game out of business recovery.
 Discussing the background of the business slump, he said the trou- ble lis plainly and simply that the producers have not received enough for their output to enable them to buy 1t back and keep our farms and factories going-that is the reason for unemployment and fail- ing businesses, exhausted savings, and abandoned homes.
 And until that reason is erased, there isn't going to be any recovery"
 "The NRA," said Johnson, "has rules similar to the Marquis De Queensbury rules in boxing-rules of fair play. There is nothing diff- cult or complex about it. Its suc- cess depends upon but one thing can the American people play the game? And there is only one an- swer to that question-they always have.
 They could not play it before because there wasn't any rule book. The players never had 8 chance to agree on anything. Now that they have that chance 1t is only necessary to tell the fair. minded. clean-playing hard biting American people what the rules are to insure the result desired. The rules are simple"
 ITO play any game" Johnson continued, you must of course know who you are playing witt and who against. That is the req son for baseball uniforms and that IS the reason for the Blue Eagle

$2O,OoO SUIT IN
 SUPERIOR COURT
Family Difference Over the Division of Real Estate
 in WatertOWn
PAPERS FILED TO-DAY

Anna Brazee of Watertown this morning filed a $20,000 civil ac- ton in superior court against her husband, Andrew Brazee, her son Albert and her daughter-in-law Anna Kiyak Brazee of Watertown, on the grounds she was obliged to deed property worth that amount to her son and future wife in re- turn for a promise of being kept for life, but which was soon shat tered. Simultaneously, a second son John, filed a $5,000 action against the same defendants.
 Mrs Brazee alleges they were married in 1895 when they agreed to share whatever wealth they ac- cumulated together. Since that time they have acquired several pieces of land in Watertown in- cluding the Fox place and have paid off all property debts, netting themselves close to $20,000. In May 1892, the son and wife-to-be demanded they convey to them all the property they possessed in re- turn for the promise of being kept the remainder of their lives.

 New York, Aug 30--(UP)- Stocks closed irregularly lower to- day after swinging back and forth over wide area.
 Disappointment over failure of the list to make enthusiastic re- sponse to the presidents gold rul- ing brought heavy profit-taking into the gold mining issues. At one time Homestake touched 280, off 21 points. It made new top for all time at the opening at BOP, up l. Others of the group sold off to points and then rallied mod erately from the lows.
 Repeal issues were firm at the outset, responding to a wet victory in Washington. They, too, met profit-taking when demand failed to develop on the initial rise. At its low American Commercial AL cohol was off more than points and U. S. Industrial Alcohol reg istered a similar loss. The group recovered large part of the ground lost and then eased again.
 High priced issues were depres- sed sharply. Leading issues in all sections save the utilities were Q which they recovered only small amounts.
 The oil shares had a period of strength in the early afternoon on expectation of advances in gaso- line prices following operation. of the oil code. The group then turn ed dull.
 Mining shares generally follow AI h4 -f s~.<.V Rails moved irregularly. Utilities made a good showing and several issues made gains for the day. Motors eased slightly.
 In wheat a heavy month-end li- quidation was in progress, but wheat recovered sharply and closed up 2 1-4, to 1-8 cents net and up 5 3-8 to cents from the lows and other grains followed. Cotton also rallied.
 The dollar was slightly higher. The price of gold in London eased slightly following the Roosevelt ruling permitting U. s. mining companies to sell their gold abroad to realize the premium over the American gold price of $20.67.
 Call money declined to A of 1 per cent from 1 per cent, the low est level in 25 years, but it failed to stimulate market activity.
 Business news included several adverse items, namely lower steel operations; lower electricity out put; no change in car loadings for the week ended August 26, al- though the seasonal trend is almost invariably higher at this time.

 off shotguns and machine guns. PavIick was killed. Yeamen was seriously hurt after he had shot one of the bandits who was later dragged into the robbers car.
 Meanwhile. the postoffice guards had fallen flat and escaped the bullets and the messengers fled un- harmed, leaving the payroll. Then. according to John Gfrerer, who watched the holdup from the sec ond floor of the postoffice building, the shooting really began. l thought the bullets would tear the building apart. I was hiding be- hind the window sill and peeking as best I could. Most of the bull lets were landing below my win dow.
 "One of the bandits dragged the wounded one into the big blue au. tomobile. He yelled Let's go.' The others. who had picked up the pay roll. got into a smaller car and four of them got into the big machine. They sped toward St Paul with ma chine guns blazing. They had reg ular police siren and it was blow ing. A few blocks from the post office the car began to throw off black smoke as q screen"
 Two postoffice guards were on the steps of the postoffice build- ing and two policemen were wait ing for them at the curb when the deluge of bullets was released.
 The bandits were in two auto mobiles and had timed their first burst of fire with the exit of the guards from the building. The po- lice were ordered to raise their hands. They complied.
 The first murderous bursts from at least three machine guns killed Pavlick who was standing on the curbing at the side ofsthe police automobile. His partner, Police man John Yeamen armed only with a revolver fired point blank at one of the bandits and was be- lieved to have shot him in the abdomen. Another burst of bullets caught Yeamen and he fell.
 The bandits had descended from their automobile during the firing and they naked the front of the postoffice building and other ad- Joining buildings with fusilades. The postoffice guards had thrown themselves flat and were not hit.
 The bandits ran up the steps and snatched the payroll satchel, The guards, Joe Hamelton and Herb Chyepe, remained motion less.
 The gunmen alternated at firing their submachine guns and re- loading. Several spectators said they saw the bandit shot by Yea men being dragged into one of the two automobiles of the gang.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. % Il.
N.SO.-In a little family cemetery
in Larue county only half-mile
from where Abraham Lincoln
lived, has been found the grave
of little Tommy Lincoln, infant
brother of the great emancipator,
the Herald-Post said here today
in a copyrighted story.
That Lincoln had a brother is
one of the least known facts
about Civil War President. Many
of his biographers make no men
ton of little Thomas. Others
barely mention him-an attitude
resulting probably from the fact
the child died three days after
birth. The babe's name is not
listed in Lincoln family Bible and
President Lincoln in his brief
autobiographica1 sketch simply
said, "a brother, younger, died IN
infancy"
Discovery of the grave was
made by workers on the county
unemployed relief rolls, who were
sent out to clean up old grave
yards, the Herald-Post narrates.
When they reached the old
George Redmond burying plot,
James Taylor, foreman OF the
crew, noticed a partially sunken
grave evidently of a child. No
headstone was in sight, but Taylor

NUD|ST TRYSTS
DESCRIBED At
RING TRIAL

ALLEGAN, Mich, Oct. % GIN.
S0.-How he gazed at nude men
and women in Allegan's first mud
ist camp, and once saw a naked
man and woman disappear into
the bushes surrounding the camp,
was related from the witness
stand by Sheriff Fred w. Miller
in the trial of Fred Ring here
today.
Ring and his attractive wife,
Ophelia, proprietors Of the camp,
a rendezvous of prominent Chi
cago and Michigan couples, were
arrested in a raid Labor Day.
Ring is standing trial on charges
Of indecency.
Visited Camp
Sheriff Miller told a jury of
IL men that he and Harry Plotts,
a conservation officer, visited the
farm of Mrs. Mary Anglers, of
Chicago, twice before the raids.
On the first visit he said he
saw nude men and women climb
ing a sand hill in the camp. The
sand hill makes up one side OF
the camp, and is the only point
visible to the outside. The other
three sides were surrounded by
thick bushes.
On the second visit to the
Anglers farm, Sheriff Miller said
he again saw the nudists romping
on the sand hill.
AS he gazed at them, he said, he
noticed an unclad woman emerge
from the bushes near the sand
hill. Presently she was Joined by
an equally naked man. They re-
mained there a few minutes, then
together disappeared into the
underground.
Used ieId Glasses
Attorney Clare E. Hoffman,
Rings counsel, brought the ad-
mission from Sheriff Miller that
it was necessary for him to use
field glasses to see the campers.
He said he could not identify the
man and woman who met on the
trail near the sand pile.
The raid followed. The sheriff
said he met the unclad Ring as he
entered the camp and arrested
him. He quoted Ring as saying
he was inspired to start the camp
because it led girls to lose their
"curiosity of the male SEX"
Ring declared, Miller, said, that
his daughter had lost her "sex
curiosity" through participating
in the affairs of the camp.

NRA CUR TAILS
BUYING c, SAYS
RADIO PRIEST

DETROIT, Oct. % Q.N.S0.
The NRA has curtailed the pur-
chasing power Of the United
States and no recovery program
can succeed without revaluation of
the American dollar, the Rev.
Father Charles E. Coughlin, pastor
of the Shrine of the Little Flower,
told a nationwide radio audience
yesterday.
Speaking from Royal Oak in
his first fall broadcast, Father
Coughlin labeled the NRA a "lat-
eral attack" on the depression,
declaring that "a frontal attack
would be an honest revaluation of
the dollar"
The priest cited six benefits Of
the NRA, stating it has eliminated
child labor, set a minimum wage,
created 100000 jobs, increased
the national payroll, limited hours
of human labor, and given labor
the right to organize.
To NRA's discredit, he said,
were the following:
It was ushered in with too much
optimism and mislead Americans
into believing that 100000 men
would be back to work by Labor
Day; industrial production is
lower than the peaks of the
previous four months; it has les
sened purchasing power because
Of rising prices; the business in
crease noted from March to July
has begun to decrease; strikes
have multiplied.
While limiting hours Of labor,
the NRA forgot to limit machine
operation, unmindful that ma
chimes rather than men should be
ctrtailed, according to Father
Cbughlin.

Washington police in the capture
of Allen last night in Baltimore.
Allen rammed a gun into the

the trigger twice. After the fugi-

RENO A FARMER,
BUT HE OWNS
No FARM

- DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. %
Milo Reno, leader OF
the farm revolt, is a calm-spoken
man who says what he has to say
with direct seriousness.
He is q man brown Of the farm,
brought up from the earth, and de-
termired to fight for the man
with a patch of soil to his name.
Yet Reno has no farm OF his
own. He did have a farm once,
but it failed and he was forced to
sell out. His disappointment
drove him into the old Grange
and later the Farmers Alliance.
After that he organized the
Farmers Union and the farm
revolt.
He has great confidence in the
President, but not in the Cab
inet's agricultural machinery.
He feels that Secretary of Agrt-
culture Henry Wallace and
George N. Peek, administrator of
the farm act, should resign.
