Faith Healer Sees
Gods Summons in
RattIesnake Bite
Carolina Preacher Goes
to Akron for TsUO
Weeks Revival.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SYLVIA, N. C. August 1S.-Albert
Teester, 39-year-old preacher, who let
a rattlesnake bite him to prove the
power of faith to his little mountain
congregation, tonight looked upon the
incident as a gateway to new worlds
to conquer.
As he packed his scanty wardrobe
for a trip to Akron, Ohio, where ne
has been called for a two-week re-
vival, he said:
II have felt for some time that God
would call me and give me the op-
portunity to put his words to the
people of the world"
At the same time he announced
he would become a fully ordained
minister of the Church Of God.
Two weeks ago he stood before his
flock, waved a rattlesnake above his
head and called upon them to witness
the power of faith in Divine inter
vention. The snake struck twice.
Teester refused medical aid. IN ac-
cordance with his religion He lay
near deaths door. but recovered, and
preached more than six hours last
Sunday on the strength Of Christ as
the one great healer.
Tomorrow he will preach to his little
congregation near here again, but 1t
will be a farewell sermon this time.
With him to Akron will go his five
children, orphaned several years ago
when their mother died in childbirth,
refusing medical aid.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 1S.-
Alabama's Governor and attorney
general today were split on this
question-can and will the State tax
the Tennessee Valley Authority on its
utility operations in Alabama?
Gov. B. M. Miller, who less than a
month ago pledged cooperation to
David E. Lilienthal, T. v. A. power di-
rector, declared "the r. v. A. is an
arm of the Federal Government and
Alabama has no right to tax it. We
want no taxes from the T. v. A. ex-
cept those provided by Congress.
Attorney General Thomas E. Knight,
jr., constitutional officer elected by
the people and removable only by i'm
parchment, declared "the State will
insist that the T. v. A. submit to
State regulation and taxation. The
sovereignty of the Federal Govern
ment is no higher than that of the
State. believe that the sale of goods,
wares and merchandise, even though
it be hydroelectric power, is an
activity OF the Government in the
nature Of a private business"
knights statement that Alabama
will insist on r v. AS subordination
to State regulation and taxation drew
from Gov. Miller the announcement,

benign breast tumors, male and fe-
male.
Both new diagnostic procedures
and new modes of therapy are Sug-
gested," says the report, made by
Charles F. Geschickter, M. D.; Dean
Lewis, M. D., former president of the
American Medical Association, and
Carl G. Hartman.
The non-malignant breast growths
were produced in monkeys at Johns
Hopkins by giving them a sex hor-
none, oeStrin. This is female hor-
none, but it induced the humorous
growths even In male monkeys.
The fact that mems own glands also
produce small amounts of the female
hormone is cited to show that oestrin
upsets may account for this type Of
tumor in the male human. Assays
or biological tests also showed the
presence OF this hormone concen-
trated In excess in women with the

on New Deal.
Nv the Associated Press.

LAKE WAWASEE, Ind, August 18.
Opening his campaign for re-
election here tonight, United States
Senator Arthur r. Robinson said the
questions at issue this Fall Is whether
bureaucracy and dictatorship are to
be upheld or whether I'VE are going

Americanism and the Constitution"
The Senator addressed the closing

Association. He assailed the Demo-
cratic national administration as ''let-
ting a spoils system run rampant" I"
and taking us unmistakably on a
trek to Moscow"
The unsystematic and unco-ordi-
mated premises of the new deal are
leading us to ruin" Senator Robinson
declared. mo other conclusion Is
possible. A change must be made
and unless change is made we shall
find ourselves in the maelstrom of
tremendous economic forces beyond
our control-we shall be the victims
of our own folly"
Senator Robinson, whose assaults
on administration legislation in the
last session of Congress kept him in
the spotlight, charged the Democrats
with having repudiated their own
party pledges.

JOHNSONBURG, N. j., August ia
In permitting price fixing and mar
ket regulation, the N. r. A. has made
a serious mistake" the Stevens Insti-
tute Economic Conference was told
today by Paul H. Mystrom, professor
Of marketing at Columbia University.
N. r. A. efforts ct price fixing and
market regulation threaten to de-
stroy all Of the good points Of the

IF they work out as their makers
hope they will, this country will pass

There remains the problem of find-

ers awaits the awakening Of new en-

for assurances Of stability in the value
of our money. Until there is such
assurance there are not likely to be
many new enterprises started. The
new deal. so far, has failed to give this
assurance. To grant this assurance

Miss Loos said Jean Harlow and Lii

appeal to men of any women she had
ever known, blond or brunei.
THE pull of these two girls on
the other sex, however, is entirely
different" the writer said. Harlow

has the directness Of q man. The

be quite as definitely classified, yet 1t

MODEL FARMING
PROJECT STUDIED
South Carolina Lays Plans
for Relief Through
Small Tracts.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., August 1S.--
Plans for model agricultural COM
munity characterized by non-competi-
tive and self-subsistence features took
shape for Eastern South Carolina to-
day at State relief headquarters.
Drawing on other States for infor-
nation, a program for the 200-family
homestead project in Florence or
Sumter County was being worked out
Malcolm j. Miller, State relief ad-
ministrator, returned from an inspec-
ton of similar projects today to out
line some of the definite phases Of the
South Carolina program.
20 to 80 Acres Each.
Each family, he said, will be al
lotted 20 to 80 acres Of good land
and expected to earn its living entirely
from the soil.
While the planting Of cash crops
such as tobacco and cotton will not
be precluded, the 6,o00-acre project
will be given over as much as possible
to non-competitive farming.
Small industries would be welcomed
to employ surplus labor, but it would
be the aim Of the administration to
make them also as non-competitive as
possible.
Families will be drawn from the
area Of the State where the project Is
located and must be farmers.
On Long-Term Lease.
Land would be allowed each family
on long-term lease under which they
would pay for it outright as soon as
possible.
Miller said the monetary feature
would largely decide whether the farm
homes would be built together as a
village to secure the advantages Of
water and electricity or individually
on each ploS.
The site Tor the project has not yet
been determined, he added.

ny the Associated Press.
Senator Fletcher, Democrat, Of Flor
ida last night termed absurd" what
he said apparently was the beginning
of an attempt by Secretary Wallace
to eliminate Federal subsidies to
American steamship operators.
The former chairman of the Senate
Commerce Committee was comment
ing on the attitude expressed in q
letter Wallace wrote to Chairman
Bland, Democrat, of Virginia of the
House Merchant Marine Committee
In that letter, Wallace said he felt
further subsidies to American ship
ping would tend to reduce the ability
of foreign nations to buy American
goods.
Wallace holds the "idealistic"
theory that imports and exports al
ways should balance, Fletcher said,
adding:
But 1t is absurd to advocate turn
ing over our trade to foreign ships.
at was chairman of the Merchant
Marine Committee during the war.
We had to have ships just as we need
them now. Our ships were carrying
but 8 to 10 per cent of our trade.
When the war broke, the other coun-
tries told us we would have to carry
our own trade or it wouldn't be car
ried.
$50 we started the subvention plan.
Despite that, our own ships. even now
carry only about 80 per cent Of our
shipping And we have just as great
a need for our ships as we ever did.
Cheaper labor and material costs
leave us three alternatives-that we
reduce our living scale, subsidize our
ships or turn over our trade to foreign
ships.
There is but one answer-the one
we have chosen.
That whole question that Mr. Wal
lace raises has been fought out time
and time again. I feel confident that
the solution finally agreed to will be
insisted upon by the Congress and
the country.
There might be some ocean mail
contracts which would be reduced.
But the Postmaster General already
is looking into that"

Police Silent on Labatt
Case-To Check Ab-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, August 1s,-while press
ing their investigation of Canadas first
kidnapping, Ontario officers took steps
today to create province-wide system
designed to prevent the spread Of
abduction for ransom.
Information gained in dealing with
the case of John s. Labatt, London,
Ontario, brewery president, who was
held by kidnapers for nearly three
days, viii form the basis Of a discussion
by police officers who will meet with
Attorney General A. w. Roebuck.
The attorney general, who yesterday
commented on lack Of cooperation
with authorities In the case. asserted
that the state should be in q position
to determine whether ransom should
be paid.
Police activity in the Labatt case
continued under cloak Of secrecy
here and In London, the authorities
declining even to reveal the informa-
ton obtained from the victim regard
ing his captors' actions.
Ransom Payment in Doubt.
The question Of whether ransom waS
paid remained undetermined, with
various reports still perSisting.
In Hamilton, Ontario. source close
to the Labatt family said that the kid
naped man believed he was held in
Northern Ontario or the MuskakC
region and that on Wednesday night
he heard his captors discuss variou:
methods of killing him and disposine
Of his body.
The talk of murder came after the
kidnapers were alarmed by reports
they received, apparently regarding
police activity, this source said, but
later new reports lessened their fright
and nothing more was said on the
subject.
A report in the Toronto Star that
another business man was threatened
with kidnapping was indirectly denied
by the man named, H. G. Hatch, heac
of q distillery here.
Death Is Investigated.
There was q furry during the day
in London, where police were engaged
in the case Of Gordon Mckenzie, q
temporary employe of the Labatt
Brewery, who died Of a fractured
skull. The crown attorney said, how
ever, that the death had nothing tC
do with the kidnapping.
The manner In which Mckenzie re-
ceived his injuries was not revealed
one report being that he fell down a
stairway and another that he was hi
on the head.
Edward Chard, 26, remained in jaf
on charges of attempted extortior
while authorities accused him Of add
ing to the confusion of the case by
calling Hugh Labatt, brother Of John
by telephone and demanding money
Police said Chard tried to "chise
In" on the case while Hugh was at
Toronto hotel awaiting contact with
the kidnapers.
Labatt continued to improve in thu
home of Hugh Labatt at London
where he went after his release.
