A. F. |. IS Seen
AS HUMANITY'S
BIGGEST HOPE
Administrator Johnso n
Says It's ''Prop Against
Collapse"
BY c. c. NICOLET
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Oct. IL. (UP)
Sleek in full evening dress. Re-
covery Administrator Hugh s.
Johnson warned the American
Federation of Labor in conven-
ton here last night that it stood
as "the one greatest hope of de-
spairing humanity" ad that if it
failed as "prop against collapse"
it could not escape responsibility.
A minority of industry and a
minority of labor is threatening
the whole enterprise of recovery,
Johnson warned in one of the
most dynamic speeches of his ca.
reer. He cited the captive coal
mine fight in Pennsylvania as an
example of the "ten per cent" of
capital and labor that was failing
to cooperate.
"You cannot tolerate the
strike" he shouted to assembled
labor leaders.
"The old order is gone forever,
by no mans designing" johnson
said.
eff a dictator came tomorrow,
what more could he do than has
been done? If some ruthless seek
er after power aspired to grasp
this sorry scheme of things what
could he do to feed the hungry
mouths grown bitter and resent
full after four years of patient
suffering? The answer is that he
could do nothing. We will find
our way out of this mess not by
smashing down what has been
built up but by applying intelli-
gence and timing and control to
this complex machine of which We
are all part. And that is exactly
what the NRA is intended to do"
Johnson's speech was a round
ed presentation of the whole pic
ture of the MIRA, it's goals and it's
methods. offered to the leaders of
labor in a fashion that seemed to
be a gesture of confidence from
an industrialist to the workers OF
the nation. The circumstances OF
it's delivery added to its dramatic
effectiveness. The General had
worked most of the day on his
speech and had conferred with the
President. presumably about some
aspects of it. He spoke at 1880
D. m. and he had to speak fast
because at 500 he was due at the
White House for the state dinner
of President Roosevelt in honor
of the president of Panama.
This accounted for the formal
attire he wore as he stood in the
Department of Commerce audlto-
rum to receive the cheers of the
labor executives assembled there.
The National Recovery ACT,
Johnson said, asks for co-opera,
ton between industry, labor and
government as a great team. 1t
is the Presidents own concept, he
emphasized, and most of the criti-
cism directed at it. he asserted,
springs from misconception.
"There are danger signals
here" Johnson warned. The

MAJORITY BIG
Repeal Of Amendment Rat
flied by More Than
4 to | Vote

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Oct. IL.
(UP).-The thirty-third consecu-
tive state to ratify the prohibition
repeal amendment vote did so by a
four to one majority. The United
Press tabulation of returns today
from 99S of 1875 precincts in the
election yesterday gave for re-
peal 1886; against, 2O,441. Not
a single county had gone dry and
none were even close.
Only three states are now need
ed to wipe out the Eighteenth
Amendment. ~.
A long and confusing ballot
made counting of the votes slow
and final complete returns were
not expected to be known for sew
eral days. A dry victory was con-
sidered impossible, however.
Approval of repeal by the three
more states necessary for ratltlca-
ton of the 21st or repeal amend,
ment is expected to be registered
on Nov. 7 when six states vote on
the question. North and South Car
DINA, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsyi-
vania and Utah vote on that date
There is little doubt but that the
seth state approving repeal Will
be among that group and vets feel
confident of a landslide victory.
The prohibition amendment
could be formally discarded. how
| ever, until Dec. 6 when the 36th
ratification convention is schedul-
ed.
Only one precinct was reported
unanimously dry. 1t was in Leon
county, of which Tallahassee is the
county seat, and voted II to 0
against repeal.
All votes counted were wet in
several precincts, including the
! Cleveland precinct in Charlotte
county in which all the Fl eligible
voters cast their ballots for repeal.
Numerous liquor raids had been
conducted in that region during

HolloweD, NRA
Local Chairman
Outlines Drive
"Is Patriotic Duty to Keep
Wheels Of Industry
Turning"
HE EXPLAINS WHY
NOW is TIME TO BUY
BY NOAH HOLLOWELL
Chairman, Local NRA Executive
Committee

Hendersonville joins America in
it's mighty swing into another
great movement to combat the
forces of unemployment. The
"Now is The Time to Buy" moves
ment has been launched to step
up the speed of the business ma
chine.
The "Buy Now" movement is
another chapter in the Blue Eagle
campaign.
More than two million workers
have been re-employed, meaning
tremendous happiness in millions
of homes. This has been done in
many instances at a great burden
to business. Stores and factories
have cut hours and increased pay
in order to stimulate business and
keep the wheels of industry turn
ing. The consumer controls the
speed of this machinery. Unless
the consumer buys the merchant
cannot dispose of his goods. Until
the retailer sells his stock he can
not buy the output of the fac
tories. When the factory quits sell
ing, it's wheels stop turning. When
they stop employees are forced to
join that great miserable army of
the unemployed. =
1t is our patriotic duty to keep
the wheels of business turning. It.
is to our selfish interests to buy
now because higher wage and
shorter hours will inevitably lead
to higher prices. Lower prices can
not reasonably be expected.
Perhaps there is not family
which will read this message that
has not put off purchasing things
needed. In the home, furniture,
carpets and rugs have been used
that should have been discarded.
Repairing, remodeling and refur-
nishing have been put off from
month to month by those who are
able to do these things.
Members of the household have
allowed their wardrobes to become
depleted. "Now is the Time to
Buy. Prices will rapidly advance.
1t is to our selfish interests and
| it is patriotic duty, for those who
can do so, to supply their needs
at once. BY so doing, the United
States can lift itself out of the
rut and the happy days of pros
perity will soon return. The gov
eminent has organized the "Now
| is the Time to Buy" movement to
give the people of the country a
chance to pull themselves out OF
the depression. Washington Will
cooperate with us but it is up to
US to do our part. If we do this
and every other community in the
United States does the same. the
/, depression, which has hung on like
a plague for four years. will soon
be a thing of the past.
Yes. really, 'now is the time
] to buy.

CHARLESTON, Ind, Oct. II.
tUP).-Inquiry into an explosion
aboard the giant United Air Lines
passenger plane that hurtled seven
persons 1000 feet to their death
in a flaming ship was begun here
today by Department of Com
merce aeronautical officials.
Bodies of five Of the victims,
two Of them women, were remov-
ed from the charred wreckage.
They were burned beyond recog-
milton. Bodies of two other men
were found. The bodies were bur-
led by the impact more than 300
feet from where the plane crash

A terrific explosion spun it
about and shot it to earth like a
blazing comet. witnesses said. The
plane was en- route from Cleve-
land to Chicago, and had only SO
miles further to travel.

Burris was an employe of Uni
ted Air Lines but not member
of the crew.
United Air Lines officials made
an examination before the mass
of twisted steel had cooled, but
were unable to determine the
cause of the crash Of what had
been one of the most modern of
their fleet of planes. There had
been no report of trouble from
the radio operator aboard ship.
The plane left Cleveland mt
6:57 p. M, EST, and passed
over Toledo at 1889, on time.
Only q few minutes before the
crash the periodic radio report
showed the ship over North Lib
! erty, Ind. and "all we'll"
What happened in the huge air
liner after that was forever sealed
by the crash. It ran into ram
| over Indiana, but was headed into
only a moderate wind. Some diff
ficulty within the ship, and not
the weather, was believed to have
caused the wreck.
Farmers near where the plane
plummeted to earth reported
they heard an explosion and saw
flames shooting from the front
part of the ship. Flames did not
envelop the ship, however, until
it struck the ground.
As it shot toward the earth at
$50 miles or more an hour 1T
struck q group of small trees,
clipping the trunks off like a
scythe 20 to 80 feet above the
ground. One of the engines OF
the twin-motored plane was roar
ing, the throttle apparently wide
open as the ship descended.
After striking the small trees
the plane nosed downward, strik-
ing several trees 10 to IL inches
in diameter and tearing them
from the ground by the roots.
Flames from the ship set fire
ito the trees.
Joe Croft, farmer, and three
neighbors who were playing cards
at Groff's house heard the ex-
plosion and ran from the house
as the giant air liner appeared
headed straight for them. 1t
veered and struck less than a
hundred yards from the house.
Immediately after striking there
was a terrific explosion and
flames shot up more than 100
feet into the air.
Shortly after midnight five
charred bodies were removed
from the wreckage that had
burned for three hours. The bod.
lies were horribly burned beyond
recognition.
