Bishop Freeman
Flags Church
Card Parties

MT. RAINIER, Md, May 16.
Raffles and card parties Spon-
sored by churches are as de-
moralizing as the "big-time
gamblers" recently banished
from Prince Georges County, de-
clared the Rt. Rev. James E.
Freeman, Bishop Of Washing
ton, at the spring meeting Of
the Northern Convocation Of
Episcopal Churches here.
Bishop Freeman commended
Perry Boswell, president of the
board of county commissioners,
and the Rev. Walter P. Plumley,
Mt. Rainier pastor, for their
fight against the gambling in
tereSt.
He declared, however, that
when churches sponsor games
of chance for small prizes their
practice likewise undermines
Christian spirit.
Other speakers we're the Rev.
Clyde Brown, the Rev. Oliver j.
Hart, rector of st. Johns Church,
Washington, and the Rev. G..
Warfield Hobbs, in charge of
publicity of the national council.

INTIMIDATION
Of FARMERS
IS DENIED

Charges of "coerSlon" ana FED
eral instigation" in connection
with Tuesdays "love-fest" be.
tween the Administration and
some $500 farmers today were
branded as "a lot Of bunk" and
"absurd" at AAA headquarters.
Busy receiving scores of ad'
miring agriculturists. neither Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace nor
AAA Chief Chester Davis could
be reached today, but Alfred D.
Stedman, assistant AAA admins
TRAITOR, went to bat for the men
who, according to reports, were
behind the demonstration. He
said:
"NO instructions of any char
acter were given the county
agents and county allotment
committees by us regarding this
march of the farmers.
FALSEHOOD CHARGED
"RepOrts that the county
agents financed this trip and
that the applause Of the Ad-
miniStratiOn's farm program
was planned and bought and
paid for by Federal employees
are nothing but outright mis-
representation"
Explaining that the county
agents are supported by State
county and Federal funds, jointly
and are hired by the State Elk
tension Service, Mr.. Stedman ex
ploded
"The whole thing is a lot
Of bunk"
Turning his attention tc
charges made by Edward E. Ken
nedy, farmers union official, to
the effect that farmers had tele
graphed complaining OF intimi
dalton, the AAA man asserted
There not an authentic line
in the entire story as far as
these kilograms go. Where are
the names of these farmers?
Why doesn't the paper identify
them? 1t might not be q bad
idea for that reporter to check
on their authenticity"
A delegation of South Dakota
farmers, paying their respects to
Secretary wallace, were equally
vehement in their condemnation
of the publication Of what they
collectively termed "a bunch OF

Farmers Deny Story
E. L. Jacobson, leader Of the
Hughes county Is. d. delegation
and Republican member Of the
State legislature, stated:
'I'm county chairman of the
allotment committee and the
only money 1 got for this trip
was a voluntary donation Of Is
cents apiece from the other
farmers in my county"
Brookings county IS. d. Leader
Sam LaSsen asserted:
"That Kennedy statement is
an wrong. The county agents
had no hand in this affair. The
reason I came and why all these
men joined me was to answer
the criticism which the United
States Chamber of Commerce
piled on the Administration last
week. Why, I was president of
the Farmers Union two years
ago"
H. B. Test, Brown county, S
Oak, another Republican spoke
up:
"The AAA is a Republican
principle enacted into law by .
Democratic Administration, and
I think it's a damn good COM
binatiOn. Why didn't the news
papers ask the Chamber Of Com
merce where they got the
money to make their trip to

STORES PREPARE
FOR FALL UPTURN
All Lines of Retail Trade
Share Gains During
First Six Months.
BY RAIDER WINGET,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, August Retail
trade, backed by wide gains, already
achieved this year. is preparing for
what some authorities believe will be
the greatest forward drive of the re-
covery era.
Conclusions Of trade analysts are
based on operations reports for this
year and on forecasts coming into
the financial district on the approach
ing Fall and Winter season.
During the first half of 1885 retail
dollar sales were some 6 per cent
higher than for the first six months
Of last year. All major divisions re-
ported universal gains, with the ex-
ception of variety chains, where a
large increase by one firm offset small
losses from the previous year chalked
up by three others.
Weekly reports since July / have
confirmed the upward trend of sales
AS evidence of the favorable outlook
for retailers, trade authorities point
to the number of buyers in the New
York market during July, highest for
that month since 1929, and to the at
tendance Of buyers in Chicago. which,
during special events of the last few
weeks, compared favorably with pros
perity peaks.
The buying wave in department
stores has extended back to the whole
salers, who have relayed orders on to
manufacturers.
Attention has been called to the
late Spring demand by consumers
this year. Some believe the sustained
Summer volume of business can be
attributed to this pent-up need for
merchandise.
The entire first half Of this year,
however, has been excellent for mail
order houses. Montgomery, Ward &
Co. reported sales this year 20 per
cent ahead Of the 1884 first half.
Sears, Roebuck & Co. announced sales
from January 30 to July ,16 were 26.7
per cent over the similar period Of
last year
Sears profits were up 80 per cent,
Evening star., 1935-08-08

but other retail concerns have not
Jared so well. Surveys show that in
many cases profit gains were not so
great as sales gains.
Both volume and profit figures came
only as a result Of strong drives for
business, since retail prices, with the
exception Of foods, were lower in the
first half Of this year than last. Foods
were about 13 per cent higher.
The outlook for the remainder Of
this year, based on the favorable re-
suits shown in July and August, is
described by some authorities as
gratifying.
They point to increased buying
power of the people in the cities be-
cause Of rising industrial production,
and they state that Federal work-relief
programs will add to the spending
money of urban dwellers.
Farm populations are counted on
to contribute strength to the mount
ing retail demand because of the esti-
mated to 1875 per cent increase in
income for the entire year compared
with 1884.

ICARDINALSCLOCE IN ON BROOKLYN
 AND IDLE REDS
Red SOx Are Class of Ans erican League to Date;
 Giants, Phils Tie
BY LAwToN CARVER

l NOhNGu EEtS8 0L&1m OUEEG8NbUUUSmGI
 New York, April 22-U.P. l-A break in the National League schedule to-day kept the Dodgerl and Reds idle and thereby provid4 ed the only apparent method of halting the stampede of the two eague-leaders-still tied without a sign of slipping.
 Dizzy Deans first victory of the season, Babe Ruth's second home run, the charge of the Boston Red Sox into first place in the American League and half dozen other de- velopments were relegated to the background to-day as the Reds and Dodgers kept pace.
 Cubs Clipped
 The Reds got down on the ground and widowed with the Cubs in battle which saw the old tail-enders come through with the better pitching and punch that was carried through II innings.
 Their victory, fourth in six starts, followed a triple play start- ed at first base by the aging Sum- ny Jim Bottomley in the 11th in- ming, Paul Derringer. who went the route and famed 10, walked Jur> ges and Bryant the side was re- tired for him when Galan lined to Botatomley and all three were killed off.
 The Reds put together a double by Pool, Bottomley's single, the fifth Cub error and Goodman's triple to pound their way home. 8 to 4. They added two double plays to their triple killing.
 Meanwhile, at Boston, the Dod- gers bounced back from the Babes first inning home run, got 4-hit pitching from Ray Benge for seven innings one-hit pitching from Zachary in the last two heats, and won in a cakewalk, 8 to 1.
 Both clubs won their series, the Reds. 2 game to 1, and the Dodg- CTS to 1, for four wins each in six starts and records second only to the Red Sox in the other league. Tom Yawkey's million dollar beauts have won four out of five.
 The Reds and Dodgers are get- ting their chief competition from the Cardinals, half game behind and waiting for tho leaders to slip. Dizzy Dean came back from his first game injury yesterday to hurl five-hit, to 1, victory against the Pirates and give the family a clean slate for the season. Daffy won his opener a few days ago. The Pirates only run was scored on Arlsy Vaughns second inning homer.
 Blue Laws
 The Giants and PhillieS play the only game on to-day National League schedule, after going 10 innings to & to tie yesterdays The Sunday blue law caught them.
 The Red Sox were rained out yesterday. They were booked to go to-day at Washington in an at tempt to increase their margin over the second place indians who missed a chance to climb yesterday when they played their third extra inning game of the year and lost to Detroit, to 2, in the 18th. Gehringer opened with a double. Tho sacks were filled and Owens inneld out brought home the win- ming margin.
 The Yankees rallied in the eighth after being held hitless to that point by Bill Dietrich and beat the Athletics, to 3. The White Sox won over St Louis in the 10th, to 5, when Dykes scored on Rao- cliffs long fly.

GOOD GOLF
By BILL KLIsn

There are two shots fin golf that are quite alike. Playing ont of . sand trap and getting out of long grass. The stroke Is very much alike, inasr:Iuch as we must make sure to hit we'll beneath the ball fin order that 1t may be extricateds
 In most cases the ball must come straight out, so any at- tempt to gain much disance is usually followed by disaster. The one important thing to re- member is to secure a firm foot ing and proceed slowly with the bacEswing. If we do not hurry in making the shot, we will fare better, as this Is Q play that calls for rare judgment. Always remember this: Better safely out than to take chances of not getting out in the first attempt.
 Golf seems to be a hasd game when one is told about all the fundamentals but 1t is easy enough to learn if we go about it in the right way. When there is no "pro" convenient one can learn by intelligent practice and by a careful check on his own game. Taking lessons from a "pro" is advisable as it gives one new thoughts and ideas.

West Side " Team of New
 York Also Falls in Nau- gatuck Play

Naugatuck, April 22-Although the Naugatuck ~" volley ball team won another intersectional tournament Saturday, defeating the Bristol Boys club and West Side "Y" combines, the latter of New York city. it's play was spotty and far from the championship form 1t has displayed in other matches.
 Naugatuck had trouble in all of It's games against Bristol coming from behind in the first two to win by scores of 15--12. 15-11 ana tossing away 12--5 lead in the last game but finally pulling out a victory, 15-13. Bristol is woefully weak as compared to Naugatuck in attack but it's defense was more effective than was the locals.
 Good Work
 Bristol took two out of three games from West Side in a good match, the scores being 15-8, 14-16 and 16--13. Naugatuck had little trouble trimming West Side all three games. 15-9, 15-3 and 15-12. The fine work of Hallo- way and Whitaker was the bright spot for the locals. This was the only combination that clicked ef- fcctively and consistently for Nau- gatuck. Poor serving again marred the locals game, II services hit ting the net or going out in the first game against Bristol.
 Naugatuck was represented by George Halloway, Gordon Whitta- ker, Carl Hasseil, Joe Valinches, Fred Baker, Idris Alderson, Frank Squires and Joe Smith.
