DETROIT, October 4.-the
controversy that began to simmer
in the first uncertainty as to Hen
ry Ford's reception of the MIRA
code centered about an indus
trialist accustomed to going it
alone"
For it was Ford who years ago
fought through to a finish the
court battle over the "Selden pat
ents," and won freedom from pay
ment of fees on the patents.
Again he played a lone hand in
his battle with New York inter
eSts.
Rejected Wall Street Terms
In 1921, it was Ford who turned
down the terms of "Wall Street
for much-needed financial assist
ance. To realize on funds tied up
in inventory, he started his fac
tory at top speed and notified his
dealers to dispose of the flow Of
trucks, tractors and automobiles
or surrender their agencies.
He did not stop until he had
built his own system of steel mills,
glass factories, steamships, a rail.
road and other enterprises to sup,
ply his raw materials and distri.
butte his product.
Opposed UnioniEation
Similarly, he always has resist
ed unionization of his employees
claiming his own labor policies
gave his workers more than, they
could gain through a union.
= He first propounded his eco
nomic philosophy of higher wag-
es and lower prices mean greater
buying power-more customers"
in 1914 with Announcement of the
S5 minimum day wage, wage in
that day believed by many indus
trialists to be ruinous.
The five-day week followed in
1926, with the explanation that
workers would consume more II
they had more leisure.
Raised Wages in 1929
And in 1929, when many en-
ployers were considering wage
cuts, Ford announced at a White
House conference that the thing
to do was to raise wages. He in.
creased the minimum day wage ia
81. But the length of the depres-
sion eventually forced his wage
below the 1914 minimum of SIS.

Ford information that he re.
garded the code as one he would

matter of wages.
The explanation given was that
while the code provides for a mini
mum wage of 80 cents hourly fol
a S5-hour week. Ford is paying
his $4,000 employees at the River
Rouge plant a minimum Of SO
cents per hour for 30 hours.

NEW YORK, Oct. Ats
a three-ring circus sure
enough-this New York
mayoralty campaign.
Now Joseph v. Mckee, briefly
IAN acting mayor after the abdi-
cation of James j. Walker, enters
the political big top on pranc-
! ing steed supplied by Edward J.
Flynn, Bronx democratic leader
and erstwhile teammate of Boss
John F. Curry of Tammany Hall.
Already snarling Tammany
Tiger was clawing at the fusion
whip. Of Fioreilo H. LaGuardia, in
dependent republican. The Tiger
fights the battle of Mayor John
E.P.. O'Bfien, sorely beset by the
colossal financial difficulties of
the city.
Mckee Former Regular
se - 4
As Mckee, after much hesita-
tion, levels his lance for the
charge, the great audience of New
York city voters strains its necks.
Which Two will get thumbs down?
Joe Mckee is former Tam
many regular, >" president of the
board OF aldermen in the Walker
regime, who last April announced
his complete elimination" from
politics and governmental office"
to become a banker.
Despite that, there were strong
evidences that the fusion of in
dependent democrats and republi-
cans wanted him to be their cam
didate against Tammany, and La
Guardia then said he would sup
port Mckee 'if he will run on an
anti Tamnlany ticket"
Mckee did not battle then, hold
ing back as he had done last Octo-
Der when Boss Curry. seeking a
candidate for the remainder of
Walkers unexpired term. put Nc
Kee aside and selected O'Brien.
HE Return Dramatic
Fusion finally turned stess~, La
Guardia. and its leaders claimed
they had Tammany on the run.
Then came McKee's dramatic re-
turn to politics.
+ Some political theorists attri-
buted McKee's about-face to the
planning of tmaster-General
James A. Farley, state and ma
tional democratic chairman. They
said Farley sought to build up a
democratic organization in the
city in complete sympathy with
the administrations in Washington
and Albany.
Finances Fret Tiger
Farley was quoted as denying
this, and President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, called upon to keep
Farley out, gave assurance that
he had nothing to do with the
campaign.
TafAsnany, all the while hoping
that LaGuardia and Mckee will
slay each other politically. frets
over its finances. The city debt
is approximately $4,000. 900, 900.
The 1888 budget (comptrolier's
office figure) was $51s,427,-
972.i6, somewhat under the 1882
budget. But only 10 years ago
the budget for New York city and
county was only $35O.516.525.
Professor Joseph McGoldrick of
CoIumbis university figured the
per capita Indebtedness for 1882
at S3i2.
The city has borrowed and Dor
rowed until. when ii went to the
banks for money to meet its Oeto-
Der payroll of $4,000, 900 and
81. o00,0 interest on bonded
debt and to take care of other
year-end obligations amounting to
$29, 100000, the loan was granted
only on condition that the ad-
ministration effect genuine econ

establish its credit.

LOS ANGELES, October

20 more Unemployment Re-

r. C. Huston, assistant

bodies lay in the deep ravine
and efforts were being made
to remove them.
Approximately 100 men
were in hospitals. many SER

box-like canyon that became

extinguish.
Frank Merrill, park super

Scott said IL was suicide to
send those men into the wall
ed canyon, which entrance
was blocked by raging
flames and whose only other
exit was a winding cowpath
up the wall of the ravine."
Approximately 1900 men
entered the canyon to fight
the fire when suddenly a
wind whipped the shoulder

mass of flames.
As the men climbed two

R. L. Doughton Is
Likely Candidate
For Governorshlp
Belief Increases Congress
man Will Enter Demo-
cratic Primary
By J. c. BASKERVILLE
she Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotc!

RALEIGH, Oct. 3.-Opinion
is growing. here that Congress
man R. L. Doughton of Ale
ghany county, is going to be a
Candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor in the
1875 primary. 1t is also agreed
that if he does become a candl-
date. he will give the entire field
of would-be candidates a real
race. Many here are already pre-,
dieting that if GARNER Bob"
does become candidate, he Will
he nominated and elected. :,
When the report first started
going the rounds here that Con
gresham Doughton might decide
to run for governor in 1896, IL
was believed that it was mostly
talk put out by his friends or for
political purposes, and was not
taken very seriously. But those
living in the western part OF the
state or who have been IN that
section recently, especially IN the
ninth district, which Doughton
represents in congress and COM
posed of Alexander, Allegheny,
Ashe, Cabarrus. Caldwell, Row
an, Stanlv and Watauga counties,
are firmly convinced that Con-
pressman Doughton intends to be
a candidate for governor IN 1896:
They also believe that he will get
the almost solid support of the
Democrats in the Piedmont and
western counties, which is all
that is needed to nominate OF
elect a governor.
1t is understood that Judge
Tam C. Bowie of Ashe county,
who has been intending to run
for governor, has already given
up entering the primary if Dough-
ton is a candidate. 1t is not be-
iieved that any of the other po-
tential candidates from the west
ern part of the state will attempt

! knowledge of the nature Of the
earth's magnetism, how it changes
and how changes in the earth
magnetic field affect radio trans
mission.
"The latter problem is being
studied very intensively by many
radio experts because Of the great
technical and scientific Importance
of enabling messages to be trans
mitted without interference. we
are now finding some correlation
between difficulties in radio trans
mission and magnetic disturb
ances. and these studies will be
advanced by facilities for the sys-
tematic comparison of radio re-
ception and Antarctica with other
parts of the world.
"If from a general study the
causes of changes in the earth 5
magnetic field can be ascertained,
then we may find causes for the
variations in radio receptivity.
admiral Byrd intends to cs-
tablish a magnetic observatory to
record constantly the changes in
the magnetic field. The instru-
ment fer such observations is a
magnet suspended by a fine fiber,
with a mirror attached. The mil
ror reflects a spot of light from
lamp to Photographic paper on 4
revolving drum. so that the Varla-
tons in the direction of the mag
net are reproduced as an irregu-
lar line. which affords a perma-
nent record for study and COM
parison.
Further knowledge of change
in the earth's magnetic field would
be of future value to navlgators,
as well as radio engineers, because
of the continual use of the COM
pass in navigation"
The north magnetic pole, Haz-
ard said, is at Boothia Felix, north
of Canada. 1t is the place where
the compass needle loses its direc-
tive force. and will stand at any
direction. If the needle, at the
magnetic pole. were free to turn
in a vertical instead of horizontal
plane. the needle would stand up
and down.
The south magnetic pole has
been located on the Antarctic con-
tinent with a fair degree of ac-
curacy, but not actually reached.
1t is, in fact, not a definite spot,
but only a general region"
Hazard anticipated that the
Byrd expedition would not do any
work in seismology, because earth
quakes are of less Importance than
other terrestrial phenomena in the
southern continent. He said that
only a few minor earthquakes
have been traced to an origin in
the polar regions.

It is expected, of course, that
Lieutenant Governor A; II.
(Sandy) Graham Of HlllsboIo,
will also be candidate for the
nomination for governor IN 1885,
while some think that Major l..
P. McLendon of the neigho0Crlng
citv of Durham, will also be
candidate. The prevailing belief
here now, however, is that NC
Tendon, who was campaign man
ager for Governor j. c. 3.
Ehringhaus in his campaign laSo
car, is more likely to become a
candidate for senate seat held by
Senator ]. w. Bailey than to
seek the governorship. The close
ness of Lieutenant Governor era
ham to the present admlnlStra-
ton and the manner in which ne
has been cooperating with 1t,
makes observers here confident
that McLendon will not seek the
gubernatorial nomination and
that Graham will undoubtedly
have the support Of the present
administration in his race for
governor. Graham will be assured
of receiving strong support
throughout the eastern Piedmont
counties and through most of the
coastal plain, as well as IN some
counties in the west. He will
also have the advantage Of hav-
ing served a term as lieutenant
governor and presided over TWO
sessions of the senate.
As a result, many Of the po-
litical dopesters here think the
1886 primary will likely narrow
down to a contest between era
ham and Doughton for the noml,,
nation for governor, provided
Doughton actually becomes can
didate. And all his friends are
already convinced that he will be
one. One or two other candl-
dates may be among the also
rams" But they are not expect
ed to draw enough votes to make
anv difference either way.
Doughton is expected to run
