nestly, might arouse some doubtful
meditations on the strange COM
plexities of the law, the Constitu-
ton and the equality Of citizens
before the law. 1t seems that any
gent who is beginning to lose his
sea legs and has misplaced his
identity or his address can heave
a kedge anchor to the nearest tele-
phone and call the cops.
One of Chief Woodruff's police
men answered such a call. He
found the citizen in a telephone
booth sagging like a wet sack. The
policeman was about to tool the
drunk gently into taxicab when
disturbing perplexity arose
Under the power and dominion
of the law Of the land, Dennis
Monahan, the cop, had to make
a hair-line decision as to whether
the inarticulate VIM. j. Hoozls
was or was not a gentleman. II
so. he rated the sanction and pro.
lection Of the law. If not, that
was something else.
The Tampa dispatch does not
tell how or why the cop reached
! his decision. Possibly the citizen S
shortcomings were Sartorlal, OF
possibly it was some grammatical
solecism which aroused the cops
suspicious. At any rate, ne
whammed Mr.. HooziS into the
black maria and they poured him
into a Jail cell without ceremony
or Solicitude.
Somehow the system seems Vul
nerable. Some INDECENT gentleman
of impeccable grammar and ante
cedentS might put on a hooters
coat and yellow bulldog shoes
feign drunkenness, sass the cor
vulgarly, get himself arrested

The drunk leaned waveringly
out of the window and, as the
cab started, he muttered, "You
damned elocutionist."
There is an esprit among men,
decidedly on the human side OF
the news, which seems to impose
on them the duty of taking care

pean fear that the Spanish mill
tary uprising was not confined to
the garrison at Melilla, Spanish
Morocco, spread today.
Despite a drastic censorship
from Spain Paris morning news
papers published dispatches re-
porting the spread Of disorders to
Cadiz, Santander and Ceuta.
Messages ostensibly cmanating
from private sources in Madrid
said that all summer vacations
for police had been cancelled and
that men already on vacation had
been recalled.
The last cryptic message to
pass the censorship imposed by
the Red Popular Front govern
ment headed by Premier Manuel
Azana limited that righeist or
monarchist elements had plunged
the country into disorder.

DICTATORSHIP CHARGES ARE

AND REPUBLICAN LEADERS
Carter Glass Says Patrick
Henry if Here Would
Fight New Deal

UNIVERSITY. Va, July 18.-
(UP). - Administration leaders
and Republicans yesterday and to-
day heatedly debated political is
sues of dictatorship and relief be-
fore the University of Virginia
Institute of Public Affairs. En-
gagged in the discussion were In
terror Secretary Ickes, former
Senator Hiram Bingham, and ex-
ecutive secretary of the social Sc
curity board, Frank Bane. Mean
time, at Ashland, Va, Sen. Carter
Glass attacked the New Deal, de-
claring patrick Henry would fight
against it if alive today"
Conflicting charges that the
New Deal is trying to foist a die
tatorship on the country and that
its opponents would stifle liber-
ties of the common man with
an Economic dictatorship were
hurled before the Institute of
Public Affairs last night.
Hiram Bingham, cold Guard
Republican, former senator from
Connecticut, and Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes flung the
dictatorship charges at each other
after leaders of the Socialist and
Communist parties assaulted "reac-
tionary" policies of both old par
ties.
eve believe" Bingham said,
chat today the federal govern
ment is trying to become a die
tatorship, benevolent in intention
but sure to drift into despOtism
and increasing interference with
individual independence. The poll
cies of our government under the
banners of the New Deal are con-
stantly restricting individual OPP
portunity." :,

an actual or a potential dictator
ship. The only dictatorship that
we need to fear in this country Is
either the secret or the open die
tatorship of those who control the
wealth and the means of produc-
ton of the country.
Bingham charged that such de-
velopments under the Roosevelt
administration as the NRA, "the
placing of enormous amounts of
public money in the hands" of the
president without congress deter
mining how the money should be
spent, and proposals to curb the

their worst as the show opened,
but if the elements were dis
pleased they were not in accord
with the crowd of some six or
seven hundred people who rode
out to see some of the finest horse
flesh and Craftsmanship ever pre-
scented in a show in this section.
From the opening gun, when
Charlie Houston's great Peavine
King won the model class, until
the grand finals which saw julius
Johnston, of Charlotte, dean Of
North Carolina horsemen, take
the open five gated stake with a
beautiful black, Princess Rose, the
crowd hung on and was we'll re-
warded for it's patience and per-
severance. -, p. .s.-...

the entire afternoon came when

heart and courage as any vet
eran, rode .Corbett Alexander's

the difficult touch and out jump

Alexander was there with the
goods, and Billy was there to dis
play the great horses wares, and
the crowd went wild. 1t was a
tough battle, for the Statesville
entry. Ed Daniels Dark Star also
had plenty of stuff. Both rode
perfect courses over eight difficult
jumps the first time out. Both
faulted on the same jump on the
second trial, but on the third Billy
gathered the laundering Alexan-
der up and won by one jump.
TWO SLIGHT MISHAPS
OCCUR FRIDAY
Two mishaps slightly marred
the afternoon. One jumper went
down but his rider was not in
jured, and Lupton Veazey Rain
waters The Magnificent Obses-
sion, reared and fell in the fine
harness, necessitating scratching
the entry in the open five gated.
1t was a tough break for Mr..
Rainwater, youthful exhibitor.
The horse was being shown in
harness by Mrs. WILTSHIRE Riley,
veteran Atlanta horsewoman. AS
the horses were lined up for judg-
ing, The Obsession reared, and
Mrs. Riley took her around the
ring to quiet her. Once again the
horse reared, but was quoted. On
the third attempt to put the horse
in line the animal reared straight
up on her hind legs, plunged, and
fell backwards. Mrs. Riley never
lost her nerve and as grooms
rushed to take the horse from the
harness, she quietly stepped from
the vehicle. The horse was going
good and probably would have fig
