DIRECTS ALL
RELIEF
Program to Be Outlined in the
Next Few Days; Wallace
Sees Rise in Prices
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

AHtcFHdlIOHdI news service
Armed with every valuable fact
and estimate of the drought.
President Roosevelt took personal
command of relief forces today.
Under his directions, a compre
hensive plan coordinating all re-
lief work and designed to lessen,
as much as possible, the economic
shock of the disaster, was begun.
This program will be completed
within a few days and then Mr..
Roosevelt will outline its objec-
tives.
Relief Program
Conferences thus far held
pointed the way to these broad
detectives:
l. Adequate relief for every
victim of the drought.
2. Provision for a crop next
year that will make up in sur
plus for the heavy shrinkage in
production resulting from the
disaster this year.
3. Provision to prevent food
prices from sailing too far sky
ward.
4. Prevention of food profiteer-
ing. Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace conceded there would be
a rise in food priSes this winter,
but believes the prices will not
oe beyond reason. He said the
Government has all the neces-
Sary weapons to deal with the
proflteer, and that it will not
hesitate to use them.
The Executive has POSTPONED
half a dozen or more conferences
and swept aside all less impor-
tant matters to give his full time
to the drought problem.
AAA Looking Ahead
The President is anxious to have
the relief administration and the
Agriculture Department get to-
gether in their work. He prompted
long meeting yesterday between
Secretary Wallace and Acting Re-
lief Administrator Aubrey Will
liams after they had called at the
White House.
Mr.. Williams is concerned pri-
marily with the emergency, while
Secretary Wallace is mindful of
the effects that will be felt long
after the drought has ended. AL
ready the AAA is looking ahead
into next year and is prepared to
relax acreage control regulations,
If it becomes necessary, to provide
a sufficient quantity of foodstuffs
for the nation. Mr.. Wallace ex-
planned such a policy would not
be a change in the Administra-
tons policy of crop control since
the job of the AAA is one of lad
justment," either up or down.

world series frenzy today as the
Yankees and Tigers clashed IN a
double.header, the first engage
ment in New York's final stand
for the pennant of 1884.
seventy-five thousand fans fought
their way into the house that
Ruth built, 10000 more milled
and struggled in dense, unreason,
ing ranks outside Of the great
concrete pile.
Washington fans had a real
live interest in this battle Tor

Cochrane made the Beau Geste
when he sent Ray Haworth be-
hind the bat to receive the slantS
and fast ones of CroWder. Mickey
stood on the bench steps and al
rected the play, a Napoleon OF the
diamond, whose baton was a
fungo stick, whose martial CLOAK
was a leather jacket, warm
enough to serve well in a polar ex'
pedition.
It is the last stand of the
Yankees on the pennant front OF
this year. Four and one-naH

on the other hand maybe 1t

Truth to tell, the Tigers have
not profited too richly against
the Yankees. Out of 10 games
this season, the Tigers have won
seven, the Yankees six. Not
much to choose, but the Tigers
have carried on to the heights
where the Yankees failed.
The Yankees lost their grip
against the Tigers in May on the

were beaten in that series and
before the trip was over, had
blown a four-game lead. Since
then they have surged steadily

Rallyins Cry
CROWD HEARS LOCAL
PROBLEMS DISCUSSED

A fair sized crowd gathered a. St.
Peter A. M. E. Church last Sunday
night to hear several prominent local
figures discuss the problems Of the
Minneapolis Negro.
URGES COOPERATION
Glesner Fowler, local attorney,
counselled cooperation; as did Tai
mage Carey, deputy sheriff. Both
speakers spoke under the general
topic of "Jobs-What Can Be Done
to Create Opportunity For Employ
ment?" Miss L. o. Smith, an at
torney, president of the Minneapolis
branch of the NAACP, said, "mass
action" was necessary in most cases to
obtain rightful consideration for the
Negro. Martin Brown, business man
and active American Legionnaire,
supported Miss Smiths idea that
"mass demonstration was advisable, "
although Mr.. Brown further asserted
that "such demonstrations should be
orderly"
Hilyer and Washington Speak
Gale P. Hilyer, another local at
torney, felt that the Negro should
hold up his chin because Of his his
toric background. C. w. Washington,
Urban League secretary, also urged
the people to keep up their morale,
pointing out that the entire people
are confronted with serious problems.
Cecil Newman, editor of the Twin
City Herald, offered several practical
ways to make jobs for the Negro
youth, citing the fact that local
Negroes are engaged in various kinds
Of business and professions, and that
proper support Of these businesses
or those White firms which employ
Negroes would soon solve the prob
lem of jobs for the girls and boys of
the group.
Rev. w. E. Guy, at whose invitation
about 80 business and professional
folk attended the meeting as special
guests, summarized the addresses Of
the various speakers. A fact-finding

GUS suggestions for community

TWO BULLETS KILL HAMMER
MAN

Attacked by man with hammer
as he sat talking at his desk in his
office at LOG Friedman Bldg, j. Louis
Erwin, 81, st. Paul attorney, shot and
killed the seemingly crazed man
shortly before 9 A. M. Tuesday morn
ing.
.....-. Attacked At Desk
The man killed was Bront john
son, Is, 522 West Central Ave. He
was waiting for Mr.. Erwin at the door
of his office, Mr.. Erwin told police. In
vited into the office, the man took a
seat opposite Mr.. Erwin. After dis
cussing a business matter for a few
minutes he became abusive. Before
Mr.. Erwin could arise from his chair
the man took riveting hammer from
his right hip pocket and struck Erwin
several times. Erwin opened his desk
drawer, pulled out a rs automatic
pistol and fired two shots. Both bullets
lodged in Johnson's chest and he was
dead when the police summoned by
Mr.. Erwin arrived. The hammer cut
Mr.. Erwin below his left eye to the
bone and under his left ear.
Released After Questioning
After the arrival of the police and
the coroner, Mr.. Erwin went down to
the Public Safety Building to give
the police a statement concerning the
affair. At 2:30 P. M. he was released.

held. -. &c., e. - .-....- a.
Represented Mans Wife,
Several weeks ago Mr.. Erwin was
retained by Mrs. Mabel Lee of Min
neapolis, daughter of Mrs. Johnson,
to represent her at a sanity hearing
before the Ramsey court commission
er. Mrs. Johnson was committed to
the state hospital for the insane. Fol-
lowing her commitment, Mrs. Mary
Love, 920 Marion St., was appointed
her guardian by local courts. john
son, who was 20 years his wife's jun
ior, was incensed because he was not
appointed guardian.
Blamed Attorney
Johnson, according to his friends,
blamed the attorney for not being
named his wife's guardian. Mr.. Erwin
who had only seen Johnson four times
in his life, tried to explain to him
that the matter of the disposition of
the wife's property was not up to him
but was in the hands of the guardian
appointed by the court.
AS we go to press, Johnson's body
lies unclaimed in the city morgue.
J. Louis Erwin is one of the lead
ing and highly respected members of
the Minnesota Bar and is prominent
