Perry Howard
Heckled by St.
Paul Citizens

The capacity crowd which turned
out to hear Jesse Owens, Olympic
star, endorse Alfred LandOn for
president in st. Paul last Saturday
night did not take kindly to Ma
tional Committeeman Perry How
ards speech in which he ridiculed
Negro supporters of Roosevelt.
Audience Applauds Hecklers
In the midst of Towards speech
he was interrupted several times
by members of the audience and
the strangest circumstance of all
was that the audience was in SYM
pathy with the hecklers rather
than the speaker.
Heavy applause greeted the sal
lies of the hecklers who kept Perry
Howard in a very uncomfortable
spot until he ended his talk.
Other Speakers Tread Softly
The other speakers, members Of
various G. o. P. bureaus of the col
ored division, taking note of How
ards reception were careful not to
say much of controversial nature.
Minneapolis Meeting
The Minneapolis meeting spon-
sored by the Hennepin county po-
litical league was a success from
the Jesse Owens standpoint. The
crowd came to see and hear Jesse
Owens and proved it for when
Owens and his party left the
Wheatley auditorium the entire
crowd with the exception of about
ten persons and twenty candidates
who were to speak left the hall.

TESTS POINT

California Scientist Says
Bacteria Found in FALL
ing Meteors

BERKLEY, Cal, July s. (UP).
While science as yet has been un-
able to prove the existence of ami
NAL life on the other planets, DR..
Charles B. Lipman, dean of the
graduate college of the University
of California, has announced that
he now has ample evidence of the
existence at least of bacteria, one
of the lower forms of life.
Recent laboratory tests, he an
nounces, have demonstrated be-
yond doubt the presence of ba-
cteria in meteorites that have
reached the earth's surface either
directly fro mother planets or
from the interplanetary space be-
tween.
DR.. Lipman's finding of these
meteorite bacteria is his latest dis
covery in the psychological field,
and especially in the field of dor
mant or sleeping bacteria. Previ-
ously he had announced the find
ing of bacteria in suspended AMI

Brazzil's Cotton
Creates Riches
Land Potentially Able to
Supply World

MEMPHIS, July 8. (uP).-
Brazil, where cotton plants grow
taller than men, today potentially
is capable of raising annually
enough cotton to supply the
worlds needs, in the opinion OF
DIR. R. D. Daffin, Presbyterian
minister, who spent 30 years as
missionary in the South African
country.
DIR, Daffin pointed out, how
ever that although such produce
ton was possible, North Amerl-
can growers need have little fear
of such an eventuality for at least
40 wears. At present, ne sald'
lack of agricultural tools and ma
chinery and general ignorance
of efficient farming methods was
holding down production.
"There has been traditional
friendship between Brazil and the
United States" he declared. l
don't think we need to begrudge
them the cotton they are growing
1t will be a long time before they
have enough gins and plows.
The Brazilian government IS
encouraging the growth of cotton
because it needs exchange, Dr;;
Daffin said. Cotton offers South
American growers a second
"money crop" to augment coffee
and rubber production. Brazils
coffee production already is FAR
hioher than world consumption
requires. The former missionary
estimated 100000 sack ks of cot
fee would be burned this year to
eliminate top-heavy surplus sup
plies.
with cotton worth or cents

money, the poems, tenant farmers
and large plantation owners are
rolling in money" DR.. Dattln
said. "Due to the drop in the eX-
change rate, their cotton actually
is bringing them more money
than ever before"
He told how a group OF Con,
federate soldiers went to Brazil
and started growing cotton soon
after the Civil War. They formed
a settlement and named it Villa
Americana. They believed there
was no future for cotton growing
in the States with slaves freed;

NO, EARLY MENACE TO
PEACE, PARIS VIEW

PARIS, July s. (UP).-French
cabinet officers were confident to-
day that the Danzig question did
not constitute an immediate dam
ger to European peace.
They were inclined to believe
that Chancellor Adolf Hitler mere
ly wished to show his disregard
for the leagues liability" to cope
with any major power simultane-
ously with the lifting of sanctions
against Italy.
French observers contended that
so long as Germany and Poland
remain friendly, there was little
danger of a German coup d'etat
to regain the free city. Poland's
friendship is an invaluable back
stop for Germany in the present
criss-cross of European relations.

LESTER WILL RETIRE
SOON. IS BELIEVED

LONDON, July 8. (UP).-The
resignation within a few weeks of
Sean Lester, of Ireland, as league
high commissioner to Danzig was
regarded as strong possibility in
official circles last night.
1t was believed generally that
he would be succeeded by Pole.
The retirement of Lester at this
moment, however, while he is the
principal target of .Nazi propag M
dists, would be another seri' us
blow to the prestige of the league
as it would appear that Geneva
had capitulated to Chancellor
Adolf Hitler. Therefore, his re

1--WE IN DORMANT STATE

According to DIR. Lipman's find
ings there are many forms OF oac
terra that go into a dormant or
spore state when there is no
chance TO feed and grow. They
are CAPABLE, he declares, of re,
manning in this state of suspended
animation for an indefinite period
of time.
Although a number of scientists
have challenged DR.. Lipman's
findings of bacteria and spores IN
meteorites, he has undertaken to
dissipate their doubts.
To those who declare they have
not been able to find such bac-
terra, he declares that he has
found a great variety of them and
that proof of this exists in the
laboratory of the University of
California. To other critics who
contend that the sleeping bacteria
would be destroyed by tremend-
Gus heat when the meteorites rush

ton does not go through the stony
meteorites but merely sears the
surface.
SURVIVES SEVERE COLD
His experiments, he declares,
also have demonstrated the ability
of bacteria in state of suspend

degrees of absolute zero which ne
points out is proof of the ability

Hospital was made by DR.. Edgar
A. Bocock, superintendent, in his
annual report submitted to the
District Commissioners late yes
terday.
DR.. Bocock told the city heads
that a number equal to 4 per
cent of the city'S population was
treated at the hospital during
the year. Because of the over
crowding, DIR. Bocock said there
was a serious need for additional
medical, surgical and nursing
personnel.
At the conclusion Of the year,
the report stated, the hospital had
1926 beds, the highest number in
it's history, and during the last year
had a daily average of 900 patients.
Corridors, he reported, were lined
with beds while rooms for one and
two patients were crowded by as
high as four.
During the year, the report
stated, the total number of patients
treated was 1850, of whom only
1874 paid for services.

NAVY M0URNS
SIMS DEATH;
RITES HERE

BOSTON, Sept. 20 UN.S).
The nation today mourned the
passing of the man who taught
the Navy how to shoot.
Admiral william SnoWden Sims,
retired, commander of the Amer
ican naval forces in European
waters during the World War, one
of the Navy's best friend, but also
it's Severest critic, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Robert Hop
kinS, following a heart attack. He
would have been 78 years old Oc-
tober Is.
Preparations were underway for
burial with full naval honors at
Arlington National &c m etery,
Washington, Thursday.
Served in PetrOgrad
Sims was graduated from U. S.
Naval Academy and then spent
a year in France learning the
French language. On his return
to America he was assigned to the
U. S. S. Philadelphia. He was a
naval attache at Paris and Petro-
grad from 1897 to 1900, later
doing secret service work in Spain,
Russia and Italy during the Span
iSh-American war. At the out
break of the World War he was as
signed to command the deStroyerS
operating from British waters.
Later, with the rank of vice
admiral, he commanded larger
fleet and finally was given the
title of commander of the United
States forces operating in Euro
pean waters.
Directed Target Practice
The story of how he got the title
"the man who taught the Navy
how to shoot" dates back to the
time when Theodore Roosevelt was
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
He suggested that the entire fleet
be sent out on target practice. An
old sailing vessel was used as
the target. Out of several thou
sand rounds, the target was hit
twice.
Later when Theodore Roosevelt
became President, Sims sent a
letter direct to him, again sug-
costing target practice. Roosevelt,
in an order to the Navy Depart
ment directed "that young men be
given entire charge of target prac-
tice for 18 months" When Sims
finished his assignment, President
Roosevelt declared Commander
Sims has done more for target
practice than any other man in
the United States"
