Primary Vote to Show
Virginia Still Democratic

Final returns on the Virginia
primaries, being counted slowly
in the Commonwealth today, will
allay any suspicious that the
State will not be on the Roosevelt
side of the fence in November,
close political observers declare.
Much attention has been given
to the speech of Senator Carter
Glass at Ashland, Va, and the
statements of Senator Harry F.
Byrd calling attention to several
of the New Deal policies that they
were particularly aroused against
It was freely predicted in some
quarters that the recent address
of Senator Glass would have
distinctly disastrous effect.
Highly Overrated
Reports, however, indicate that
the adverse results of this speech
have been highly overrated. Fol
years Senator Glass has been ex
pressing his individual opinion
about everything and anything
that he thought worth his while
In several instances he h a
stepped on the toes of those II
the ranks of the Democratic
party. Despite this fact, Virginis
has been for Senator Glass anc
Senator Glass has been for the
Democratic party.
Proof of the pudding is the fact
that Senator Glass was unoppoSec
in his candidacy for his Senate
seat.
Friends of his also say that ir
the final showdown there is nc
doubt of the fact that Senator
Glass will cast his vote for Presi
dent Roosevelt in November. there
by settling once and for all thu
argument over his attitude.

Complaint has been registered a.
gainst the dealy in receiving The Nc.
DOwell Times paper by Mr.. ]. H.
Scales, Barber at Northfork. His com
plant is rs follows: Most any and all
the subscribers to The Mcdowell

not receive his till either Sunday or
Monday.
Explanation by the Times is to
this effecre, when one paper is sent

mail one is sent, all are sent in the
same mail. Therefore, we suggest
that Mr.. Scales call specifically for
his paper and we predict same will
be handed to him as the post master
and mistrcsScs are very fine people.

AAA May Abandon Control
of Grain Crops

OFFICIALS of the agricultural
~ adjustment administration dis
cussed in Washington the advisa-
bility of drastically reducing or re-
moving altogether the planting re-
strictions on corn and wheat next
year. No decision was made and
farmers will be consulted before
any changes are ordered. It was,
however, definitely stated that
wheat acreage will be expanded.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
passing through Chicago on his way
back from Iowa, said he believed
government-controlled crop insur-
ance would prevent wild price fuc-
tuations In farm produce. The plan,
he said, has not progressed be-
yond the embryo stage, but probab-
ly would entail storage of crops in
government granaries. Each farm
er, depending on the percentage of
his normal crop he wished to in
sure, would make his insurance"
payments in the form of bushels to
be stored in a common pool.
The plan, preventing ''lean years
and Eat years." would tend to stabi-
lie market prices because it would
assure a continual adequate sup
ply of whatever commodity was to
be insured. Gradually, he said, it
might be worked out to include all
major farm produce.

Borah and Robinson Are
Renominated for Senate

TWO veterans of the senate, Will
L liam E. Borah of Idaho, Republi-
can, and Joseph T. Robinson OF
Arkansas, Democrat and majority
leader, won their fights for re-
nomination without much difficulty.
Borah defeated Byron Defenbach,
who was backed by the Townsend
ties. His Democratic opponent at
the polls in November will be Gov.
c. Ben Ross. In the Democratic
primary to select congressman to
succeed the late Joseph w. Byrns
of Tennessee the Townsend infiu-
ence gave victory to Richard M.
Atkinson of Nashville by the mar
row margin of Is votes.
In the Presidential contest the
American Federation of Labor, as
an organization, will maintain its
traditional non-partisan policy, &C
cording to the firm declaration of
President William Green. The fed
GRAFTON, said he, is not in the Nom
Partisan Labor league, which is
backing President Roosevelt. "We
will not formally indorse any candi-
date this fall" Mr.. Green contin-
ued. "Our non-partisan committee
will merely prepare parallel reports
on the labor records of the two
chief candidates and of the plat
forms. We will send out all data
to our membership. They will have
to make up their own minds"

Migration From Drouth
States Is Urged

DR. C. w. THORNTHWAITE, for
~ mer climatologist of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, has made a
study of the drouth area of the
Great Plains, and his interesting
conclusions are published by the
University of Pennsylvania. Brief
ly, Thornthwaite recommends that
$4,000 migrate from the farms of
the damaged region. He contends
that wind erosion has damaged IS
per cent of the plains region, ex-
tending from the Canadian border
into the Texas panhandle. A long
range government program for the
return of millions of acres of wheat
land to it's native sod, he says,
might be the only means of check
ing the devastating dust storms.
Observing that long dry spells
have been frequent in the history
of the plains, Thornthwaite predicts
that "the present drouth might be
prolonged for 20 or more years"
The weather expert estimates
that minimum of 1850 families
should move out of Montana, the
state in which he reports the
greatest surplus population" He
urges a migration of 1920 fami-
lies from Texas and 1850 from
North Dakota. Heavy removals al
so are suggested for South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wy
oming, and Colorado.

ing that the American neutrality
law prohibiting assistance to war
ring nations does not apply to the
Spanish civil war, Mr.. Phillips said
that the United States intended to
conform with it's "well established
policy of noninterference with in
ternal affairs in other countries, Ell
Their in time of peace or civil
strife.''
Most of the nations invited to
participate in the non-intervention
agreement were willing, but Ger
many temporarily blocked the plan
by announcing that its answer
would be delayed until Madrid gave
a satisfactory reply to German pro-
tests regarding the execution of four
German nationals in Barcelona.
France set August II as the dead
line for completion of the agree
ment, and it was expected that, if
general neutrality failed, the
French government would lend aid
to the Leftist government at
Madrid.
American Ambassador Bowers
abandoned his Floating embassy"
aboard the coast guard cutter
Cayuga and went ashore at st. Jean
de Luz, France, by advice of the
Department of State in Washington.
According to the Army and Navy
Journal, Mr.. Bowers had tried to
assume the role of commander of
the American fleet in Spanish wa
tiers, and when the officers politely
told him they took orders only from
the Navy and Treasury depart
ments or the President, he protest
ed holly to Washington, with the
result recorded above. Meanwhile
the embassy in Madrid has been
in charge of Eric c. Wendelin,
the young third secretary, who has
handled it's affairs skillfully and has
evacuated most of the Americans
from the city.

Germans felt that Mr.. Roosevelt'S
speech was aimed at them and re-
scented his criticism. A Mexico City
newspaper saw in it evidence that
the Monroe doctrine was to be re-
vived. The press of Buenos Aires
warmly applauded the address, one
journal saying:

a parallel between discourses re-
Gently heard from Rome or from
Berlin and which proclaimed vio-
lence and expansion as the two

welt raised his figure above the
