 The letter reads as follows:
 "Walcott for United States sem ator.
 '.As an alumnus of Yale, we re- mind you that Frederic c. Walcott, class of 1891, our present United States senator from Connecticut, is a candidate for reelection. We feel that Senator Walcott's varied pub lie service. his record as U. S. senator and especially as menl- Der of the important senate bank ing and currency, and finance com- mites, have added to the prestige of Connecticut and of Yale univer- sity. We believe that his re- election is of the greatest impor- tdHCc, iot OAiy " tAO oA~sS VI Connecticut, but to the entire coun- try. We ask that you will support him by voting on November 9th for his return to the United States senate.

 BUSINESS MEN UNITE
 If money and organization can win an election, the republicans and non partisans have the odds on their side. California never be- fore has beheld such a closely knit marshalling of business inter- ests as is now; backing Merriam But the Sinclair !. supporters have their bands of workers also in every precinct of the state, making up in zeal and enthusiasm what they lack in money and influence.
 Wrathfuf organized eopposition of church groups also has arisen against Sinclair because of his vio- lent attack on clergy and church. es of all denominations in his book, Profits of Religion" published 16 years ago.
 His rejoinder that he was at- tacking the organized church, not Christianity. Is not satisfactory to

EPIC program if he is elected governor.
 WRITES NEW PAMPHLET Thereupon he wrote new pamphlet, entitled Immediate EPIC" in which he outlined the steps he would take at once upon entering the governors office.
 This was the original EPIC plan with the exceptions noted above.
 Democratic leaders who had stayed with him through the party convention began falling away from Sinclair. First among them was Maurice Harrison, chairman of the state central committee. George Creel went east. United States Senator William G. McAdoo flew to Mexico and later to Wash- ington. William H. Neblett, Me- Adoo's law partner, quit cold.
 The bolt became general. A group of progressive republicans, headed by former Governors c. e. Young, James N. Gillett, and George c. Pardee, started a non- partisan movement for Merriam,

into which these bolting democrats were welcomed.
 BETTING ODDS CHANGE So formidable has this move ment become that betting odds, which after the primary strongly <avored Sinclair to win in Novem- Der, now have shifted to even money or even a shade in favor of Merriam.
 The primary vote gave Merriam 34S,000, Sinclair 446,000 and Haight 89,000. Approximately 1,668,000 votes were cast.
 It is estimated that 2,170,000 will be cast November 6. In the primary 845,000 democratic and S18,000 republican votes were tal- lied, a lead of only 27,000 for the former.
 If the half million new votes ex- pected in the general election di- vide on the same basis, the result will be extremely close. But some observers believe democratic de- fections will materially change the proportions. However, Haight

 Forced by the ultra-1iberal na- lure of the democratic opposition, the republican platform, written ironically enough by some of the most conservative members Of the party, espouses the 30-hour week and six-hour day, commends the Townsend old age pension plan to the careful study of the federal congress, and even speaks favor- ably of the New Deal.
 Calm opinion in California Is that Sinclair will not be ahle to carry out his plan, either by ac- .tfon of the legislature or through direct legislation of the people, 1T elected.
 But the author of q, Governor of California" Is confident he can.

B BUSINESS MEN
PREPARE LAWS

Outstanding representatives of
trade and industry will gather
here today to prepare a united
front on business legislation COM
ing up at the next Congress-.
Meeting as the business and
planning council Of the Depart
ment of Commerce, the members
will submit the New Deal recovery
program to a searching examina-
ton, pointing out flaws to be re
moved or remedied, and prescrlb-
ing new methods.
A major topic will be President
Roosevelt's social insurance pro-
gram now being prepared by a
Cabinet committee. A compre'
hensive scheme Of unemployment
insurance and old age pensions is
nearing completion by the group
headed by Secretary OF Labor
Perkins, Secretary of Commerce
Roper and the National Emer'
gency Council. -,
Walter C. Teagle, president OF
the Standard Oil Company OF New
Jersey, heads the industrial rela'
tons committee of the council
which will present its own studies
of social insurance. 1t is an open
secret that many business men
fear the Administration will pro-
pose plans vastly more far-reach'
ing than anything heretofore at
tempted in this direction.
MIRA is another field where the
So industrial leaders plan to sug'
gest a long list Of remedies
Greater self-rule for business is at
the bottom of most demands for
change in the Blue Eagle program
Among these are freedom to fix
prices when determined necessary
by the industry itself. Chief pro
ponents of this are the 10000 re
tail coal and coke dealers. Greater
flexibility in code restrictions, to
be administered by industrial
groups with the minimum OF Fed
eral overlordship, is another.

by Secretary of Labor Perkins.
Factory employment increased
l per cent and pay rolls 3 per
cent, she said, with So of the 80

The increase in employment in
manufacturing industries was
confined largely to nondurable
goods groups of industries, which
showed a net increase of 3.5 per
cent.
This gain, Miss Perkins ex-
planned, is due largely to seasonal

were reported in millinery, 81 per
cent; women'S clothing, 22.8 per

NEW ORLEANS, August 13.-Sena-
tor Huey P. Longs militia and Mayor
T. Semmes Walmsleys police relaxed
today after two weeks of posing within
shooting range of each other.
The command of shoulder arms was
still the order of the day, however
and the two armies, even under dl-
minished strength, were strongly en-
trenched across a narrow street.-the
Guardsmen in the city voters regis
tration office and Walmsley'S police
occupying the city hall.
Longs military commander told his
men to be careful about shooting
after sentry at the barracks outside
of the city had fired on an intruder
Walmsley told his forces to shoot
with meaning if the National Guard
tried to invade the city hall.
1t appeared the opposing forces had
dug in to await the election of Sep
tember IL, on which both the Long
and Walmsley factions have two rival
congressional candidates.
Long end his political associate
Gov. o. K. Allen, on July 80 called
out the troops, they said, to take
possession of the voters registration
books and force an honest registra-
tion''
Walmsley asserted Long seized the
books in order to make scratches and
gain an electorate in his favor.
The registration books closed Sat
urday with q friendly crowd jostling
under raised bayonets of National
Guardsmen.
