B. A. Sunderman's huge polka dot
bull, which is quite a pet for his
daughter, Mary, was an instrument
of fate in the Post-Press pet parade
Saturday morning, post mortem

about bull in a China shop-only
the parade was anything but a

NEW YORK, June Is GNSD.
Beginning the second session of
its first national convention ever

everything in it's power to defeat

The keynote was sounded by
General Secretary Earl Browder,
once Wichita CKan.) bookkeeper,
who called President Roosevelt
"the lesser of two evils" although
he denounced the New Deal and

WOMEN TAUNT
HAMILTON FOR
H|SB0AST|NG
By DOROTHY DUCAs

PHILADELPHIA, June 25
Misleading John Hamilton
John Hamilton of Kansas!
Two hundred Democratic women
are asking you an historic ques-
ton:
"Why don't you speak for
yourself, JOhn?"
The message was sent out this
morning by Miss Mary w. Dew
son, chairman of the Women'S
division of the National Demo
cratic Committee, speaking at a
discussion breakfast before the
convention opened. She was not
referring to any situation COM
parable to the Puritan fathers,
but merely to Hamilton's re-
mark that the Democrats were
frightened about the forthcoming
election.
Who's Scared?
Miss Dewson told the 200
women Hamilton had said there
wasn't a State represented here
which couldn't be carried for Gov
ernor Alfred M. LandOn. She
asked:
"Are you going to take that
lying DOWN."
She was answered by the femi-
nine equivalent of roar.
"Mr. Hamilton says the Dem
ocratS are scared to death. We
say: Speak for yourself, JOhn!'"
Then the women got to their
feet in a rising vote of respect to
the men of the Democratic con-
vention who yesterday gave
women the new privilege of sit
ting in on sessions of the power
full platform committee, where
usually women are not appointed.
Urged to Convert Husbands
An appeal to Democratic women
to start converting their Repub-
lican husbands was sounded by
Mrs. Margaret Altman, State well
fare director of Ohio and a dele
gate to the national convention.
She said:
"It's one way Of getting out
the vote. If every woman in
the country would get out 10
votes in her own precinct, a
really simple thing for woman
to do, we'C be all set. And where
start better than right at home?
eve are asking our Democratic
women who have Republican
husbands to start in converting
them right now. / believe Il is
easier to convert husband than
a stranger-if there is cOngeni-
ality in the home"
Apparently the phenomenon Of
Democratic wives and Republican
husbands is a familiar one, for
Mrs. George Givan, national COM
mitteeWoman from Milwaukee,
Wis, declared wives in split"
families never discuss how they
are going to vote with their hus-
bands. She places her faith in
the "block system" for getting out
the vote.
BY this system a woman is made
responsible for contracting all the
men and women in her block, gen.
orally unbeknown to them, and
ascertaining whether or not they
need subtle education.
The election this year will split
many families, Mrs. Givan opined.

Neutrality Bill Scared
by I. Bassett Moore

ENCOURAGEMENT was given op-
IL ponents of the administration
neutrality bill by the severe castiga-
ton of the measure by John Bassett
Moore, former member of the World
court. His statement was present
ed at a secret meeting of the sen
ate foreign relations committee but
was made public by Senator John
son of California, who doesn't like
the bill.
Calling it "a curious blend of
hOmicidal with suicidal mania," Mr..
Moore caustically denounced the
bill, which would continue the pres
ent mandatory embargo on arms
and munitions shipments to bellig-
erents, but give the President dis
erection in limiting certain other ex-
ports to peace-time levels.
THE hOmicidal mania," Moore
said, "glares in the proposal to try
to starve other peoples who engage
in war; the suicidal mania CLEANS
in the proposal to demoralize and
destroy our commerce in order that
peoples at war may not be nour-
iShed by what we produce"
Especially vehement was his at
tack on the section giving the Pres
ident discretion to curb the ship

lists, crackpOts, brain trusters and
professors" of the New Deal. Tai
madge, though highly elated, de-
clined to comment or to make any
announcement at the time.
The platform adopted by the
meeting called for preservation of
the Constitution, of state sovereign
ty and of the American form of gov
ernment. 1t accused President
Roosevelt of abandoning faith in
the Constitution and the doctrines
of Thomas Jefferson and of "re-
pudiating, abandoning, and side
tracking" the platform on which he
was elected in 1882.
1t is not easy yet to estimate the
possible results of the Talmadge
movement. The administration lead
ers refuse to take the Georgia gov
ernOr seriously or to admit that he
can imperil their control of any of
the southern states.
The situation in the South is fur
ther complicated by the sudden
death of Gov. O. X. Allen of Loui-
siana. He was the devoted and
complaisant adherent of Huey Long
and had been selected to fill out the
uneXpired term of the late senator.

NN ORDERS from Gov. Harold

SchwarzkOpf, head of the state po-
lice, assigned two of his star de-

enlisted the aid of federal inveSti-

The governor wants the inveSti-
CATION to be painstaking and thor

ed Hauptmann will expire on Feb
ruary IS. After that date at least
four weeks, and perhaps five, will
elapse before the date for the eX-
eculon which will be ordered by
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, who
presided over the trial.
The governor believes that by
that time his power of reprieve will
have expired in this case, and he
will not grant another unless AttOr-
ney David 7. Wilentz concurs. Un.
less new developments warrant 1t,
the attorney general will not agree

The
Man Who
Knows
Whether the Remedy
You are taking for
Headaches, Neuralgia
or Rheumatism Pains
is SAFE is Your Doctor.
Ask Him
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Farnily's
Well-Being to Unknown
Preparations

REFORE you take any prepara-
~ ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; OF the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were ad-
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without i'll effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet diScouered for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
-. and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store - simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

auxiliary to the AAA. These are

only one whose enforcement has

League Experts Study
Oil Embargo Problem

WHETHlER an oil embargo
w against Italy could be made
effective was the knOtty problem
confronting a League of Nations
committee of experts that met in
Geneva. About a dozen countries
were represented, but Poland re-
fused to take part on the ground
that it exports no oil to Italy, but
only to CzechOslovakia.
League authorities said the in
vestigation into practical possibili
ties of enforcing an oil embargo
against Italy, in addition to the
present war penalties, was likely to
center to large degree on the at
titude of the United States.
These sources conceded uncer-
tainty as to whether such an eXten-
sion of sanctions could be effective
if the United States administration
applied no oil embargo at IL, or
limited oil exports to Italy to a def
mite known amount.

w head-JoneS bill for soil con-
Servation, the administrations sub
Stitute for the AAA, was given the
hesitant approval of the senate ag-
ricultural committee by a vote of
10 to 2, although Chairman Ellison
d. Smith of South Carolina said he
personally had some doubts" as
to its cOnStitutionality. The meas
ure would enable the secretary Of
agriculture to remove 30,000,000
acres from cultivation and give him
even wider powers than he had I'M
der the AAA. 1t was evidently
headed for hot debate on the
senate floor.
Secretary Wallace let it be known
that officials of the Agriculture,
Treasury and Justice departments
were cooperating in an effort to
collect for the government the $780,
100000 ordered returned to process
Sors by the Supreme court, but he
gave no details of the plan. In re-
ferring to this court order in
radio talk, Mr.. Wallace went further
in criticism of the Supreme court
than has any other official of the
administration. He declared it was
''the most gigantic legalized steal
in history" Representative Allen
L. Treadway of Massachusetts as
serted on the floor of the house that
