with the Mellon controlled alumni
mum interests is under considera-
ton in official circles here, the
United Press learned today.
Application for a $25,OOO,OOO
fund with which tc finance the
project will be examined at an
early date by the PWA.
The application for federal AID
points out that the plant would
break the closely guarded so-called

metal more available throughout
the nation by cutting the cost
and would at the same time furn-
ish widespread employment and
thus provide the iva with the
great industry it seeks to estab-

valid as far as he is concerned, Mel
vim Jepson, district attorney. said
today, explaining perjury charge
against Dempseys resident witness
is not aimed against the legality of
the former heavyweight champions

Jepson recently issued a COM

nection with his testimony in Demp-
sey's suit and his testimony in his
own defense against mail fraud
charges in a New York federal
court.
"Dempsey's residence is not be-
ing attacked, nor do I believe his
divorce will or can be in any way"
Jepson said. 1T is not necessary
that the resident witness testify
that he saw the party every day.
"Mr. Mckay, however" Jepson
continued, testified in one court
that he saw Mr. Dempsey in Reno

time. In another court he testified
that within the same period of

Sponsored by the late Mrs. Stuy-

afford it. She went to the top of

nine years she could get no work,

comeback that made her the most

She saw her trends less frequent

BY WALLACE
Condemns 'Short-Sighted Lead
ership' In Using Drought For
Political Purpose.

RUSTON, La, July 80. U.H -
Henry A. Wallace secretary of agri-
culture attacked the Republican
party with acid phrases today,
warning the electorate not to sue
cumb to the short-sighted leader
ship" of persons who use the
drought as the spearhead for an
attack on the agricultural adjust
ment program.
In this small northern Louisiana
community, Wallace told an aud
ience of farmers and small mer-
chants to reject counsel of ad-
ministration opponents. do not
give them an opportunity for mis-
management again." he advised.
The secretary emphasized that
the crop controls exercised by the
AAA would be continued despite
inroads into surplus which the
drought has made.
Wallace, whose father was a Re-
publican cabinet officer under Pres
ident Harding and Coolidge, and
who himself was Republican un-
til the elder Wallace broke with
the party high command, accused
Republicans of always having been
short on craftsmanship
He aSsailed those who contend
the drought has solved the surplus
problem and obviated the AAA
pointing out that if controls were
removed entirely year of ordin-
ary weather would bring us right
back to the 1882 situation"
Wallace said this alleged effort
to fashion the hardships of the
drought to political usage was typ
ical of the short sighted leadership
which characterized the Republi-
can party from 1921 to 1882"
There have always been men OF
high integrity and excellent ex-
ecutive ability in the Republican
party" he said, 'but the party
has always been short on states
manship and never more strikingly
than during the period from 1921
to 1882"
The secretary charged that
throughout these years Republican
leaders "steadfastly refused to see
that the market for the 50,000,-
900 acres, which had been put into
crops during the war, had been
destroyed by sudden change from
debtor to a creditor nation"

DOCKWORKERS'
STRIKE OVER

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30. W.P)
The Pacific coast longshoremen's
strike was called off today with the
men promising to return to the
docks at 8 a. m. Tuesday, after 80
days of botter and bloody industrial
strife.
The Presidents national long
shoremen's board announced the
end of the strike. The same federal
agency will conduct arbitration of
the dispute which led to the walk
out of $4,000 longshoremen May 9.
BY terms of the agreement un-
der which the men will go back,
hiring halls will remain in control
of the employers but federal and
union representatives may surprise
their operation to prevent discrim-
ination.
All strikebreakers are to be dis
charged. There will be no discrim-
ination against longshoremen for
union affiliation or strike activities.
The question of wages and hours
as well as eventual control of the
hiring halls was left to the arbi-
tration proceedings.
The longshoremen's return left
only the members of nine other
marine crafts still on strike. Some
of them were reported wavering to-
day after the dock workers aban-
doned the cause. Although all ma
ritime unions were pledged to stand
together until all disputes were set
tied, the longshoremen said they
were returning because public in
terest demanded it.
Much Work Ahead
Much work awaits the 10000 men
who are going back tomorrow. Since
the longshoremen accepted arbitra-
ton a week ago, shipping swiftly
returned toward normal. Thou
sands of tons of freight are piled
on the docks. Ships are standing
by in harbor roadsteads, awaiting
pier facilities. Factories and other
industries are demanding materials
