SKIN Condition Caused
By Arsenic POISONING

, fact that some Of these patients were
in contact with fruit-a grocer,
fruit peddler and a fruit grower.
For many years the u S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture has been trying
to enforce legislation to make fruit
growers wash the arsenic that is
used to spray fruit off the surface
before it is marketed. Legislation
to enforce this has frequently been
blocked by congressman on the
grounds that the small amount OF
arsenic on the surface of fruit of
this character does no harm. Here
is something for those congressman
to ponder.
The most curious case of this kind
which has come to my attention Is
that Of man who had diabetes and
was told that pancreatin pill con-
tanning gold and arsenic was q cure
for 1t. He took this for a year until
he had all the symptoms of arsenic
poisoning, not only skin eruption but
the nerve paralysis. and only then
did he reconsult his physician.

BY The Associated Press.
DALLAS. Tex, August 19.-John D.
M. Hamilton, Republican national
chairman, last night initiated the
campaign to swing the Lone Star
States political fealty from the Dem
ocratic party to the Republican.
The fiery, red-haired Kansan spoke
in the court Of honor at the Texas
Centennial Exposition.
He said the Constitution was threat
ened with change by usurpation";;
that the New Deal was involved in
invasion of States rights, invasion
of privacy" and unprecedented abuse
Of parliamentary tactics"
He charged that by force and
trickery. the Roosevelt administration
is skillfully attempting to have the
American taxpayers sign their own
death warrants and dig their own
graves"
Hamilton answered comment Of Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace on his
Albuquerque. N. Mex, speech against
the New Deal farm program with the
statement:
Secretary Wallace has said that I
know nothing about agriculture. AS
far as I am concerned, we are both
in the same boat. That should end
the controversy"
The national chairman and his
party few here from Oklahoma City
in a chartered plane. Today he left
for Sedalia, Mo.
In Oklahoma City he told party
workers at luncheon:
IF you'll take care of your Demo-
cratic precinct committeeman, I'll do
my damnedest to take care Of Jim Far
ley for you"
He quoted Farley as saying in re-
cent press conference he did not un-
derstand the Kansan's tactics in at
tacking him.
II understand Farley said Hamilton
and I are in the same racket" the
chairman said This may be a racket
to New York politician, but not to
me. We think this is fight to save
the American form of government"
II think you know what will happen
in the East" Hamilton said.
II think we are going to carry every

TRADE BODY HEARS|
PRICE LAW WOES|
Many Letters Complain Of
Alleged Discrimination in
Business Deals.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Moving to enforce the far-reaching
Robinson -Patman price discrimination
law. Federal Trade Commission off,
cials disclosed today they have started
a score of investigations Of complaints
charging violations.
The act, which sponsors said was
designed to prevent price discrimina-
tions which might lessen competition
substantially" was passed in the last
session of Congress.
1t prohibits manufacturers from
giving special discounts to quantity
purchasers and gives the Trade Com
mission power to determine the guam
tity limits on which price reductions
may be allowed. It also forbids false
advertising allowances and fictitious
brokerage fees and provides a maxi
mum penalty of $4,000 and one years
Imprisonment for price discrimina-
ton.
The commission is beginning its
campaign to enforce the law by con-
sidering complaints that its provisions
are being violated.
Since it's enactment the commission
has received hundreds of queries from
trade organizations, manufacturers,
wholesalers and others, asking inter-
pretations of the law or complaining
that 1t is being violated. About one
OF every 10 letters, officials said, Is a
complaint against asserted violations.
Most of the complaints, it was said,
do not contain sufficiently detailed in
formation to warrant the launching
Of a commission investigation.
All Investigations now under way
are still in the preliminary stage and
no reports have been made. Under
Trade Commission procedure, q pre-
liminary inquiry first is made to deter
mine whether there is basis for further
proceedings. In event Of an affirma-
tive decision, a complaint Il filed.
hearings are held and the commission
later may dismiss the case. issue a
cease and desist" order or take other
action.
Tests to Explain Law.
The commission has decided not to
issue any regulations under the act,
officials said, and neither will it give
advisory opinions as to whether
specific activities are illegal The
meaning of controversial provisions, it
was explained, will be cleared UP
through commission rulings in in
dividual cases or through court tests.
The law applies only to transactions
in interstate commerce, and in some
cases the commission may have to
determine whether certain transac-
tions are interstate or intrastate.
No funds were appropriated for en-
forcement of the act and this work has
been assigned to a skeleton force
headed by w. T. Kelley, chief COM
mission counsel, and A. w. de Birny,
trial attorney. The frorce will be ex-
panded If a congressional appropria-
tion is voted.

with Stain, denied participation in the
asserted plot.
Three Charges Made.
Three formal charges were made
against the defendants as they entered
the court room under guard.
They were:
1. Organizing center to seize power
by terror.
2. Organizing terroristic groups to
shoot Stain and other leaders.
g. Killing Sergei M. Kirof, chief aide
OF the dictator, at Leningrad on De-
cember l, 1894.
The presiding Judge, Gen. Ulrich,
assisted by three associate military
judges, questioned the defendants and
received the pleas.
All the prisoners, apparently des-
tined for the death sentence, were
former members of the Communist
party.
The proceedings disclosed that Vo-
roshiloff was to have been killed by
Red army commander during army
maneuvers.
1t was alleged further that David,
in a conversation with Zinovieff, had
questioned the wisdom OF Germany's
alleged connection with the plot.
Zinovieff was quoted as retorting:
"You as historian should not wor-
ry; La Sale used Bismarck"
The indictment stated the Defend
ants had admitted they had no def
mite political program for use when
they gained power. In addition, the
various defendants admitted they did
not understand or realize the eco
nomic gains of the Soviet Union.
Allegedly, the plot IVES Matched in
Kameneffs apartment In Moscow in
1888 and 1894.
Trotzky, the government charged,
sent instructions to s. Mirachkovsky,
one of the defendants, through
Trotzky's son.
Zinovieff Called Liar.
When the examination began, the
defendants turned on one another and
made charges and countercharges.
Smirnof denied Trotzky had di-
rectly planned the plot and, turning
on zinovieff. called him liar.
He was always liar" he added.
A litter swept through the 500 spec
tators. They included 10y W. Hen
derson, second secretary of the United
States Embassy.
Smirnoff also denied he had carried
instructions to Russia from Trotzky
or had actively plotted the terror, but
added:
IT belonged to the Conspiracy CEN
ter and accept full responsibility for
membership in that group"
The trial was laid in the strange
setting of the former elegant hall Of
the Moscow Mobiles Club.
