SINCLAIR POLICY
HELD DEMOCRATIC
Republican Speaker Says
Administration Program
Headed Same Way.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Me. September g.
Col. Frank Knox, Republican spokes-
man and publisher of the Chicago
Daily News said tonight the Upton
Sinclair program for California "is
merely an extension and enlargement
Of the program upon which the
Roosevelt administration is now en-
barked."
Addressing a Maine Republican
rally, Col. Knox said lit is most for
tunate for us that Sinclair has be-
come standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party in California and is now
receiving the support of the Demo-
cratic national organization"
His nomination there will suffice
to bring sharply and emphatically to
the attention of the American people, I"
the publisher added, "the real issue
involved In these elections this Fall"
Says Administration in Line.
The publisher said Sinclair "and his
Socialist platform in California ad-
vocated no Socialist principle, which,
to lesser degree, the present admin
Stration is not proposing itself"
On another occasion in his ad-
dress. in criticizing the national re-
covery administration, Knox used the
implication of Moscow influence.
The Republican publisher said that
perhaps the most serious of all
among the fruits of these mistaken
policies is the complete abandonment
of the principle of a balanced budget
and the total lack of any promise Of
such balancing within the term of the
present administration.
And "as a corollary to the un-
bridled debauch in spending and the
unparalleled multiplication of super
vising agencies" Knox said I'VE are
rapidly passing under the rule of the
most numerous bureaucracy govern
ment anywhere has ever created"
Urged High Gold Content
He urged Republicans to fight
against further reduction in the gold
content of the dollar and to work for
stabilization.

ture of gasoline and alcohol made
from agricultural products.
Such a proposal was advocated yes
terday by Chester G. Davis, the farm
administrator. as part of the program
for permanent agricultural relief.
He said 1t should aid the motorist
by providing cheaper fuel and benefit
the farmer by insuring against price
fluctuations.
while there is no immediate need
for bolstering corn prices" he said
"a plan must be considered so that
in the future SUFFICIENT of the sur
plus corn may be set aside for dis
tillation into low-priced alcohol to
safeguard parity price levels"
1t will be necessary, he said, to
distill the alcohol so economically
that it can be used for making a
fuel so cheap and efficient that mo-
torists will prefer it to pure gasoline
The possibility of mixing alcohol
with gasoline was pointed out by
the Department of Agriculture last
year in a report to the Senate and
bills requiring that all gasoline bs

Stamp and Cover Collecting Maya
YOU that few covers nowadays show
the dated town postmark on the
stamps, and that collectors in future
years will pay premium for such
specimens?
1.-THE automatic cancelling ma
chimes in our larger post offices are
of standard type carrying the de-
sign of city and date in circle flanked
on the right by seven wavy lines, the
flag which represents the killer
Inasmuch as We are accustomed to
place the stamp in the upper right
hand corner (unless strips are used ,
the flag cancels the stamp, while the
dated postmark falls far to the left
on the envelope,
This arrangement of marking may
be desirable to the collector of covers.
but the stamp collector wants his
dated postmark on the stamp-wavy
lines are meaningless.
The late E. K. Victor invariably
affixed the stamps on his philatelic
letters "a inches from the right and
3s inch from the top of his ga en-
velopes. which resulted in an almost
perfectly centered postmark tying the
stamp. Whether the entire cover was
to be preserved, or merely the stamp,
the desirable dated postmark ap-
peared where it belonged.

well as other commemorative car

1t was pointed out that the process
would increase the price of gasoline
unless grain could be purchased at a

at the same time eliminating the per

Exposed by Knitgoods
Industrial Union

NEW YORK, July 10. = The
Knitgoods Workers Industrial
Union charged today that manu-
facturers have laid secret plans to
withdraw from contractual rela-
tionships which they now have
with the industrial union and sign
new agreements with officials OF
the International and Textile
Unions during the impending
strike in the industry.
The obvious reason for this
move, the union declared, is to
liquidate gains made by the work
ers during the last strike. A state
ment issued by the industrial
union declared, in part
ANY attempts made by some Of
the manufacturers to intimidate
and compel our members to be-
long to q union not of their own
choice, will be answered by such a
fight which will prove costly to the
manufacturers.
"Our union is confident that we
will, in the course of the General
Strike, not only be able to secure
the renewal of contractual rela-
tions with our manufacturers, but
additional International and Tex
tile members, as we'll as thousands
of unorganized workers, will come
out on strike in support of our de-
mands, under the leadership of

Union"
