SALUDA PLANS
APPLE SHOW
Polk and Henderson Grow

ket May Result

SALUDA. Sept. ii. Especially.
The apple growers of Polk county
and those of the Saluda section of
Henderson county, who get their
mail through the Saluda post Of
flee cooperating, will conduct the
first apple show. September 10Th,
ever put on in Saluda.
1t is the opinion of many that
the apple growers will be very
much encouraged with the results
of this show and that the future
will prove it a most worthy begin
ming. The question as to why Sa-
Iuda hasn't had apple shows be-
fore may we'll be asked when 1t IS
known that the apples grown IN
this section are not excelled IN
quality anywhere in the world.
They have never failed to take
first premiums wherever they
have been exhibited.
To John w. Artz, county farm
demonstration agent, is due the
credit for this beginning. Mr..
Artz met with the apple growers

JOHNSON GETS BID TO SEEK

his denomination is questionable,
His endorsement of President
Roosevelt in the presidential cam
paign last fall aroused opposition
of Republican conservatives, who,
it is reported, will advance the
candidacy of Ex-Gov. Friend W.
Richardson.
If he abandons his party and
runs as a Progressive, he will be
pinched between the candidates
of the two major parties and hi:
success at the general election
would be doubtful, to say the
least.
AS the Democratic candidate,
the Democratic leader added, he
would naturally receive the unified
support Of that party. Added to
that would be his strong Progress
sive following.
Democratic strength alone. the
party leaders said, should elect
him. but in event of a-close race,
his own strong Progressive block,
which for years has followed
Johnson, regardless of party,
would ensure his reelection.
The letter throws the senator's
campaign plans into turmoil.
He had rested secure in the be-
lief his endorsement of President
Roosevelt would assure Demo-
cratic cupport at the general cleo

WASHINGTON, Sept. ID (UP).
The battle over price fixing
clauses in industrial codes ap-
preached a climax today. This
dispute, largely lost sight of in
the rush of NRA developments,
is one of the most important
basic problems in the recovery
program.
Protests against exorbitant
price increases are arriving in
huge numbers daily at the recov-
cry administration. They come
from the laborer, the farmer and
the industrialist.
All are in a similar vein. The
Iconsumer is finding it difficult
to meet the sharply increasing
cost of necessities. One eastern
Iindustrialist recently charged
that a manufacturing group rails
ed prices 20 per cent even be-
fore it's code became operative.
A group of administration Of
ficials met yesterday to discuss
the new threat to the success of
the recovery program. The sit
uation develops at a time when a
decision must be made on the
code for retail trades, which car
ries a price fixing clause.
The consumers advisory board,
the single agency designed to
prevent the buying public from
being squeezed in the industrial
reorganization scheme, is waging
a stubborn fight against price
fixing, except in the major basic
industries, contending it tends to
hurt the consumer.
The retail code is in the hands
of Administrator Hugh S. john
son. 1t is reported to carry a
provision making it an unfair
practice to sell merchandise at
less than the invoice cost plus 10
per cent. Deputy Administrator
Whiteside, in charge of this
agreements. regards this provi-
sion as more of a stop loss
clause than one of price fixing.
The issue has split the ranks
of the recovery administration.
Johnson reluctantly permitted in
clusion of an optional price fix
ing clause in the oil code. but
placed responsibility for its use
in the hands of President Roose-
welt.
It was admitted last night that
the Forthcoming price fixing de-
cision is of foremost Importance,

Millions Of New Workers Stage
Tribute to Roosevelt's Program
And Efforts For u. s. Recovery
Celebration and Gesture of
Appreciation Greatest
City Ever Witnessed
By H. ALLEN SMITH
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-(UP):
New York went thoroughly and
completely wild Wednesday and
Wednesday night in the most tre-
mendous celebration the city has
ever witnessed as its millions paid
tribute to Franklin D. Roosevelt
and his efforts to swing us out OF
economic depression.
Police officials, NRA officials,
newspapermen and civic leaders
all agreed that New York City,
gesture of confidence in national
recovery had never before been
eoualled as a mass spectacle.
The city's greatest parade. with
25O,OOO people in line celebrating
the NRA program, ended at ll:4o
D M, 10 hours, Is minutes after
it started at 1870 p. m. Rain start
ed to fall shortly after the last
marchers had left Fifth Avenue
Scenes reminiscent of armistlce
signing. of the Lindbergh recep-
ton. and of the great Prepared
ness parade, were enacted on the
streets. People unable to get into
the parade proper ranged the
other avenues. waving flags and
Blue Eagle emblems, and yipping
and whooping in the manner OF
rodeo cowboys. :,
The shouts and cries arose al
most wherever one went. They
, were the pent up cries of a peo-
pie, ridden for more than three
years by depression, expressing
their faith in their new leader
and his program of recovery.
It must have warmed the heart
of bluff Gen. Hugh Johnson. who
viewed the colorful spectacle thru
blizzard of confetti and ticker
tape at the two-block long review
ing stand adjoining the public IL
brary. The General was there as
chief representative of the Presl;
dent. Obviously he was thrilled
to the core, for seldom if ever in
history has the leader of nation
been accorded such a frenzled,
ear-splitting tribute.
Last night Police Commissioners
Bolan ordered the marchers To
proceed 40 abreast instead of 70,
and still he estimated that II
would be past midnight before
the parade ended.
| The press was greatest at 42nd
Street and Fifth Avenue. where
tens of thousands packed them
selves into the crosstown street,
apparently unmindful of the fact
that they could see little or moth
! ing, and that they were stuck
there for many long, weary hours,
unable to free themselves from
the crush. -,
There were 200 bands in the
line of march, and they split the
welkin with "Happy Days Are
Here Again" as they swung thru
the humanity-banked channel of
the avenue.

Is Size of New Jersey, Run

By II. R. EkINS

PEPING, China, Sept. ID. (UP).
The Chinese are willing to ad-
NIT that Japan has established a
"buffer state" in North China
itself. below the great wall. be-
tween Peiping and their puppet
nation of Manchoukuo.
Despite protests to the League
of Nations at Japan's encroach-
ment onto the continent of Asia,
the Chinese have been forced to
recognize that the Toxic govern
ment's seizures Of China terri
tority include a slice of China
proper about the size Of the

still flies over North China, but
it is admitted the Chinese Off,

Manchoukuo.
This development is the --latest
move in Japan's bold seizure OF

this sphere of influence below
the wall, which began with the
Manchurian campaign just two
years ago this month.
The Chinese government at
Marking and its branches in
Peiping and Tientsin still refuse
officially to admit that this area
below the wall is practically a
Japanese state.
Realistically minded Chinese
editors, however, frankly refer
to the region as a "buffer area"
In this prosperous countryside,
magistrates and other officials
appointed by the provincial gov,
eminent with the approval OF
Marking hold sway-but they do
so under the virtual direction
and with the consent of the Jap

no Chinese regular troops are al
lowed to penetrate, although
