Garrett Leading, but Gets Only Plu-
rality Of Ballot.

DALLAS, July 27 (P).-Representa-
tive Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat, in
the seventeenth congressional district,
today was facing the necessity of q
run-of election to save his seat, with
his opponent already favored, as a
result Of drawing a primary plurality
on Saturday.
Returns thus far available showed
Blanton trailing Clyde L. Garrett of
Eastland by nearly 4,5o0 votes
as the count stood at 1875 for the
present member and at 22,453 for his
opponent. A third candidate, Fred
c. Jaye, polled about 1000 votes,
enough to prevent Garrett from re-
ceiving an outright majority of the
total ballots cast.
Career Here Stormy.
Blanton, whose congressional career
has been featured by many stormy
episodes Of personal nature, and who
has achieved considerable notoriety
for his sponsorship of the red rider"
preventing any teaching about com.
munism in the District of Columbia
schools, first came to Congress in 1916.
He was out in 1928, when he lost to
Senator Connally in the race for Q
Senate seat, but he returned in 1890
Rising to a position of influence on
the House Appropriations COMMITTEES.
he has consistently fought to reduce
lump sum appropriations for the Dis,
trict Of Columbia.
The run-off is tentatively set fol
August %.
In the other Texas contests, Senator
Morris Sheppard; Gov. James "
Alfred and II Representatives appear
to have clinched their Offices without
further contest.
Dapper Jimmie Alfred virtually
cinched his reelection as Governor
Latest returns from the Democrats
primary boosted his votes to 439,134
giving him definite majority.
Opponents of the 37-year -old Gov.
ernor lost their last chance Of having
a runoff between the incumbent and
the Dext highest man when Allred'i
lead climbed to 35.049 1t had been
28,588 on last nights tabulation.
Total of S4s,2ls Votes Cast.
OF the total of 843,2l9 votes counted
by the Texas Election Bureau since
Saturdays balloting. Tom Hunter wa,
credited with 194,114, F. w. Fischer
with 114,862, Roy Sanderford with
$3.50 and Pierce Brooks with 27,5ls
in the Governors race.
Sanderford campaigned with the
active support of former Governor
James e. Ferguson.
Senator Morris Sheppard likewise
sailed through the election without
danger of having to enter a runof.
He picked up 478,523 votes, while hi,
nearest opponent, Representative Joe
Eagle, was able to gain but 111,14o.
A run-off appeared probable in the
railroad commissioner race, Frank
Morris, Dallas, or Carl Hardin, Ste
phenHlle, opposing Ernest o. Thomp-
son, incumbent. Thompson polled
317,963. Morris had l19,4l7 and Har-
din, 118,287.
Representative Maury Maverick, po-
litical youngster and member Of a
ranch family, seeking reelection, led
Lamar Seeligson by 11,7s0 to 1924 in

The Jail occupies the fifteenth floor.
Asked if the professor had been out,

ords of unsolved crimes in which
Negroes were victims today after Day.
ton Dean, confessed Black Legion "ex-
ecutioner," had told of a second un-
provoked attack by Black Legionnaires

In his latest statement, Dean said
Harvey Davis, Black Legion colonel" /"

drive around and find Negro-any
one so long as he's black" and then
fired a shot into the back of the first
Negro they saw.
Police said the victim was Edward
Armour, SO, factory worker, who was
shot at the door of his home in the
suburb in February, 1885. Armour,
who was in a hospital for months,
will view Dean, Davis and Rouse to-
day.
Story Is Denied.
Davis denied Deans story, but
Ecorse police said the bullet taken
from Armour's back was fired from q
pistol taken from Davis.
Dean said Davis insistence upon
shooting ANY" Negro followed an un-
successful attempt to find Clarence
Oliver, Negro campaign worker for
Mayor William w. Voisine Of Ecorse.
Oliver had been marked for death by
the Legion, dean asserted.
Mayor Voisine, who also was the
target of an unsuccessful Black
Legion death plot, according to another

 This is a lucky day for social en- tertainments planned by the young Dances should bring more than fleeting happiness. Romance flour ishes under this rule.
 Minds may be susceptible to sug- gestion and exceedingly sensitive to evil communications today. Cos sip will be widely disseminated and persons in public places will be bit terly assailed.
 The afternoon of this day should be favorable for persons who work faithfully in any business or pro- fessional enterprise. While many get rich quick c h m e S will be launched the stars threaten all who turn to any form of gambling.
 Violent planetary influences may affect San Francisco and Port land. Again earthquakes are prog nosticated. Tokio will suffer from another upheaval of nature.

UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES

Unemployment while admittedly still a major decrease something of disputed question as esti- mates taken from time to time disagree The most pessmistic estimate from the American Fed eration of Labor which places the figure OOO The National Conference Board bests that little with an estimate of 9,6490OO, while the recent taken by the New York Sun astonishngly favorable The Suns survey computes the total unemployment aside from agriculture and domestic service at 3O85,OO
 If the Suns figures any where near right remarkable strides being made by industry in bolstering up the payrols The usual surveys in normal times set the number of unemployed at around two million thus the Suns figures would indicate that the unemployment problem is becoming lesser every day as a result of general business recovery
 It is interesting to note how the newspaper arrived at its figures. The Suns estimates based on the survey of 5000 companies in which it found 1,734,000 unemployed in manufacturing, l518000 in transportation and 3120o0 in mining, or a total of 3,564000. But from this figure the newspaper sub tracts 479000 workers which it estimates have been absorbed by trade above it's quota" compared with 1929 after allowance has been made for workers since then.
 The National Conference Boards figures which are based Bureau of Labor statistics do not differ much from the Suns in mining and manufacturing but they show 100000 unemployed in manufacturing and mechanical lines alone 100000 in personal and domestic service and 1260O0O in general trade
 An interesting portion of the Suns survey is that twenty of the nations largest companies showed employment roll increases of from two to fifteen thousand in 1885 1929 the so-called peak year The DuPont company for example employed 362O0 in 1929 the survey shows and in 1885 is employed 46,000. Standard Oil had 5000 more on in 1885 and the Chryser Corporation jumped from 37,954 1929 to 5e,088 last year.
 These figures again reflect two things: First that business is recovering from the depression faster than great many of realize and secondly that's the Presidents oft expressed contention that private industry and should take up the en- ployment slack is sound and bearing fruit If the Suns figures reliable industry has gone
 lot farther on the road toward taking up the slack than it realizes and if it will continue in the same
