PLAN TO SAVE THE
DAIRY FARMERS
Wants One Out of Every
Third Cow Killed

HARRISBURG, Pa.-That very,
very liberal lady, Mrs. PinchOt,
wife of the governor Of Pennsyl-

to help the dairy farmers get a
higher price for their milk.

cow be done away with. She calls
these "low-production dairy cows"
When children employed in the
Pennsylvania sweat shops went on
strike few morths ago, Mrs. Pin
cot made great show of going
on the picket line with them. If
she is really such great friend
of theirs, why doesn't she support
the demand in the program of the
United Farmers Protective Asso-
citation an organization of militant
farmers IT. Pennsylvania.
This demand calls for a quart of
milk for each child of an unem-
ployed worker to be bought by

Sentences were pronounced by Fed
eral Judge Edgar s. Vaught.
George (Machine Gum Kelly, who
with Bates was named as being the
actual kidnaper. and his wife Kath-
ryn Kelly, entered pleas Of not guilty
to kidnapping charges. This reversed
previous plans which District Attor-
iley Herbert H. Hyde had announced

patrick, intermediary for the oil man,
said 1t was Kelly who collected the
ransom money In Kansas City.
Kathryn Kelly's not guilty plea
came after she had talked to Judge
Vaught In his office before the open
ing Of court. Her plea was not so
much surprise as that Of her hus-
band, from whom guilty plea had
been expected.
To Report ON Shannon
The court ordered Burch to report
70 it every SIX months on the conduct
Of Armon Shannon, who is married
and has one child. Armon was di-
rected to hold herself in readiness to

But he said some employers prefer
government by privileged class"
ana some workers were "hot- -heads
who think that results can be OBJ
tanned by noise or violence"

Trouble ON Both Sides
There are the perfectly natural

There are hot-heads who think
that results can be obtained by noise
or violence; there are insidious voices
seeking to instill methods or princi-
pies which are wholly foreign to the
American form Of democratic gov
ernment.
ION the part Of employers there
are some who Shudder at anything

terms OF dollars and cents instead Of
in terms Of human lives: there are
some who themselves would prefer
government by privileged class In
