TAKE
HUGE AMOUNT
Of DYNAMITE

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4. U.P)-
Hidden somewhere in Los Angeles
is enough explosion to kill "every
human being within a mile radi-
u.s. police were warned today as
they conducted widespread search
for the nine ton cache which was
stolen by a gang from a local pow
der concern.
Two men and two women, Sus-
pected of having taken the explos-
ives from the Hercules Powder COM
pany, were being held incommun-
icado as authorities hurriedly
sought the cache.
The fashionable Wiltshire and
Hollywood sections were the center
of the search. Detectives were
hampered by the knowledge that
the cache already had been moved
several times and might even now
be under transfer to a new loca-
ton.
Police claimed the gang had at
tempted to sell the valuable cache
to a local dealer for $500. The
Hercules company said the stolen
explosives consisted of 1860 pounds
of black powder, so kegs of powder,
and 243 cases of dynamite.
Booked on suspicion of robbery
were Mrs. Doris Trester, Long
Beach; Fred Sackl, 33, Ferry Gay,
%, and Cloid Phillips, al, all of Los
Angeles. They denied knowledge OF
the asserted theft.

HIRAM GIVES
HIGH PRAISE
To PRESIDENT
California Senator Says The
Administration Has Con-
quered awful Conditions"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4. UP
In his first public pronouncement in
months, U. S. Senator Hiram John
son, (Rep) California, showered
praise on the Roosevelt administra-
ton today for having met and
measurably conquered the awful
conditions of year and a half ago"
The job has not been completed
but the sky is "a little brighter"
and the overwhelming balance is
to the credit of those who have
guided our deayinies,' the famed
California Progressive said at La
Dor day rally here.
The Republican Progressive to
whom the administration gave its
support for the Democratic senator
ial nomination, particularly defend.
ed the expenditures of large sums
of money in relief projects by the
federal government.
1T is an easy matter to cry out
against expenditures of the vast
sums of money the government has
given for relief Johnson said. 1T
is not difficult to Snarl at the me-
thod of disbursement and talk of
the day of reckoning, but with vast
throngs hungry without fault on
their part, 1 ask the honest who
are critical-what would they have
done?
mo government worthy of the
name can permit its people to starve
and any expenditure by govern
ment is justified which will relieve
want and deStitution. The
Bourbons of today who cynically
regard those who without fault on
their part are unemployed and hun
CRY, may well take lesson from the
Bourbons of the past
The policies which former Pre-
sident Hoover inferred were will
o'-the- wispS," in a copyrighted Sat
urday Evening Post article found a
in Johnson, who recalled
that "the bogy man of unconstitu-
was raised against his
own new deal" for California
when he was governor 20 years ago.
The pretense and insincerity
which We contemporary thrust
aside in California we can in the
nation treat with the same disdain
and unconcern," the senator said.
Johnson admitted that the battle
was far from won and that blund-
ers had been made, but he said
wise men will profit from their
blunders, and government, such as
we have today, pledged to the high
est idealism, will reconstruct where
necessary and continue with its
righteous ruman policy until the
goal is reached

ICKES MAKES
ANSWER TO
MR.. HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. U.P)-
Former President Herbert Hoover
today was accused by Harold L.
Ickes, secretary of interior, of
championing 1.-the liberty of the
exploiter.o
Commenting on the former Pres
ident S magazine article charging
the Roosevelt administration with
depriying citizens of traditional
liberties, IckeS said:
"He does not seem to be con-
cerned with the liberty of the av-
erage man and woman to have de-
cent living conditions and jobs at
fair wages. The liberty that he
talks about, it seems to me, is the
liberty of the exploiter.
"Mr. Hoover,' said Ickes, "seems
to be defending the liberty of
privilege. He is defending the class
that doesn It want to let go of any
thing it has,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Devel-
opments in the NRA dispute within
the past 48 hours indicated today
that the axe is swinging for Gen
eral Hugh S. johnson if he persists

Insiders believe johnson is aware
of the situation. He is expected to
back down next week when he con-
fers with President Roosevelt at
Hyde Park. If johnson insists upon
continuing his one man control of

May Be q Serious Outcome
(New Rockford proyost)

According to the LANCER newspa-
pers IN the state there is going to be
q showdown as to what faction Fra
1er and Lemke are going to support
in the June primaries. The North
Dakota senator and congressman we're
endorsed by both factions in the Nom
partisan ranks recently.
But 1t is good advice for the friends
OF LANCER not to 60 too strong on
their insistence. Frazier had no love
for the Hopping LANCER did in years
past. and Lemke never has been a
LANCER supporter. In his campaign
two years ago Mr.. Lemke never urged
personal support Of LANCER, but only
for the support OF the ticket. It was
cnly after much persuasion that
Lemke went to Bismarck during the
legislative session year ago to assist
the state lawmakers in framing the
laws. His lack Of faith in the sin
cerity Of the governor was the argu-
ment.
The LANCER faction made several
requests before the Valley City con-
vention e. to where Frazier and
Lemke stood in regards to the con-
troversy in the Nonpartisan ranks
In spite Of these urgent requests nc
answer was received. There was much
discussion az to whether the LANCER
crowd should endorse them or not
Under the circumstances, however
there was little else they could dc
but endorse them. It will be inter.
esttng to note the outcome OF some
more insisting.
