LANDLORDS USE AAAI
TO PLUMBER TENANTS

Wichita Falls, Tex Henry and
Harley Brown, farmers of the
K. M. A. community, have learned
that the AAA means the sack for
the small agriculturist. Henry
Brown had signed a contract with
the Munger farm company To
grow cotton on a 200 acre tract
under the provisions of the AAA
Shortly, after signing of the con-
tract, the company withdrew from
its agreement with the govern
ment and notified its tenant TO
move.
Brown brought suit in the
county court, declaring that under
the porvisions of the two-year cot
ton control plan he was entitled to
the use of the land for another
year. A jury of farmers and work
ers decided in lis favor at this
meeting.
Very conveniently for the land
owners of Wichita County. the
state legislature passed a special
act transferring Jurisdiction in
civil cases to the district courts of
the county. Under this new set
M, the Munger Farm Company
petitioned for a rehearing. A spec
ial court, consisting of the county
Judge and the three district Judges.
enjoined Brown from further occu-
pancy of the land The tenant had.
in the meantime, settled his
brother Harley on the tract in an
effort to hold it
Thus, the Brown family is
turned out to starve at a time
when it is almost impossible to
obtain a farm. The lesson is quite
plain: The southern landlords up-
hold the AAA when it is to their
personal advantage to do so. They
repudiate it if it means more cash
in their pockets, and the tenants
be damned.

Theodore Graham, member Of
the State Executive Committee of
The Socialist Party, and national
organizer of the American Work
ers Union an organization of the
unemployed, who had stirred great
applause by his firm stand in IA
vor of the united front with the
Communist Party, succeeded in
having an amendment passed pro
vlding for union wages on all gov
eminent projects in place of the
high" wages proposed by the
platform committee.
Graham declared also that I'M
less the movement for indepen-
dent political action was based on
the trade unions, unemployed or
CARNATIONS, farmers groups, ard
included the Communist Party,
the movement could only be anoth-
er capitalist party in a disguised
form.
Sylvan Drummer of Kansas was
loudly applauded in this discussion
whe he stated that cit does not
behoove us to join William Randol-
phi Hearst in his red-baiting drives
against the Communists, who in
practice show themselves to be the
bravest fighters on the firing lines
of labor"
Sinclair Assailed
Ms. r. X. Shaffer of the Cali
fornia Epic cLeague told the con-
ference that she, as we'll as many
members of the Upton Sinclair's
Epis League were sorely disap-
pointed with its recent convention
because Sinclair was pinning his
faith on Roosevelt and was work
| ing up a reactionary fight against
the Communist.
The conference did not declare
specifically for the closed shop,
though it went on record against
company unions. 1t favored the
bonus, without declaring for the
Marcantonio Bonus Bill Oh. R.

diate payment through taxing the
rich. It declared for public owner
ship of utilities, natural resources

tionalized banking system.
The conference was largely COM
posed of middle-class liberals, tech
nocrats, Farmer-Labor politicians
with a group of sincere elements
mainly from the farm regions
striving to find a way to wage po-
litical struggle against the attacks
of monopoly capital. It was in this
group that the DESIRE for united
front was mostly expressed. They
were, however, over-ruled.

lost his life in a heroic effort to save

arrangements for the colored man
were changed today to provide larger

originally planned, 1t was decided to
conduct them in the Friendship Bap-
tist Church, First and H streets south

9,WO-Mile Flight
Made in 90 Days
ByCon,n,on Tern
Gull Found Dead after
Trip From Labrador
to Madagascar. =,
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, July 13.-How q common
tern apparently few 5000 miles in SO
days was disclosed today by the North
eastern Bird Banding Association.
The tern is one of the gull family
but the association is learning that it
is bird capable of long distances and
long life. One banded on Tern Island,
off Cape Cod, in 1924. has returned to
the island this Summer.
The trip Of the far-fiying tern be-
gan on coastal island off Labrador
1t was banded by DR.. Oliver H. Austin
jr.. and within two months of that
date the bird was found on the SOUTH
ern tip of the island of Madagascar in
the Indian Ocean. indicating a flight
of approximately 5000 miles.
In announcing this flight. the asso-
citation said it was deemed remarkable
not only for the distance but because
the bird evidently took course across
the Atlantic Ocean instead of going
down the usual migratory route for
terms along the American coast.
Either the long flight or the climate
was too much for the tern, for it was
dead when found. An islander, who
noticed the band on the leg, reported
it to consular headquarters and the
| report was sent to the United States.

Democratic Gathering Will
Assemble Chiefs in Re-

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt left the White

will board the presidential yacht
Sequoia and cruise down Chesapeake
Bay to Jefferson Island. Accompany
ing him were several of the guests

ing and conclave scheduled this week

Others will arrive at the island
later in the day, and more are sched-
uled to make the trip tomorrow morn
ing The President expects to return
to Washington tomorrow night.
Those who are engineering this
island week end party insist there Is
no reason to attach any political sig
niflcance to the occasion. but in many
quarters the gathering is described as
"get-together of party chieftains
and a party love feast"
The latter appellation comes from
the fact that among the week enders
will be Senator Tydings of Maryland
and Secretary of the Interior Ickes
who recently engag ID in bitter verbal
battle growing out of the Senate in
vestigation of affairs in the Virgin
Islands. Others prominent in the
New Deal administration who have
had clashes at various times during
the Roosevelt administration also will
be present.
There are those who speculate to
the extent that this island party is to

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 13.-James
Roosevelt, the Presidents eldest son,
confided today why he accepted the
presidency of the National Grain
Yeast Co. of Belleville, N. j.
He said:
Because one concern manufactures
about So per cent of the 250,000, 900
pounds of yeast made yearly in the
United States, and I thought it an
excellent opportunity to end that
situation as head of a smaller and
thriving company"
Roosevelt said he would devote all
his time in the near future to the
job he accepted July l. when elected
at a board of directors meeting.
He gradually will close his insurance
Office, he said, leaving John A. Sar-
gent, his partner. to conduct it.
The Presidents son said 1t was
business interest, not interest in the
laboratory phases of yeast manufac-
ture, that determined his course. He
has a financial, but not a controlling
interest in the concern.
