Nations Granary

JAMESTOWN, N. OAK, Aug. %
QN.S0 - President RooSevelt'S
special train arrived in jamestown
shortly after 10 a. m. (E. S. I'd to-
day, where the President con-
tinued his personal inspection Of
drought conditions in the country
side.
For an hour before reaching
jamestown the presidential special
travelled through a steady drizzle
of rain. Several thousand persons
stood in the cooling downfall and
applauded the arrival of Mr..
Roosevelt.
The Great Plains States that
lie between the Mississippi and
the Rockies, and which con-
Stitute the nations granary, were
assured today that the Federal Gov
ernment does not propose to stand
idly by and see wind and sun
and mans stupidity make of this
vast area another American desert.
The assurance came from Pres
ident Roosevelt after little more
than a day spent in the dust bowl,
during which he pursued his in
vestigation of conditions clear into
the barnyardS of North Dakota,
where even the chickens have to
scratch hard to exc out a living.
Welcome News
Scared by drought, plagued by
graSShoppers and harassed by
other natural forces, Mr.. RooSe-
velt'S promise of continued Fed
eral help was welcome news to
the Northwest. The Sunburned,
overalled men who surrounded his
train cheered him in Bismarck
when he said the Federal
Government can, must and will
go ahead" in its efforts to promote
their Well-being through long
range planning. They cheered
some more when he complimented
them:
you people have your chinS
up. 1 say that you are not
licked"
Additional applause came from
the white-collared soWnsfolk, mer-
chants and professional men,
whose own well-being is dependent
upon the prosperity of those who
work the dusty sun-baked prairieS.
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke without ref
erence to the impending election.
In fact, he did not mention the
campaign or policies, seeming to
take it for granted that his own
reelection is assured, or, if it is
not. that any succeeding govern
ment must go ahead trying to
pull agriculture in the Plains
States out of the hole.
He made no appeal for votes

this morning when the door to
her apartment was slammed shut
to her by the win dwhile her
7-month-old daughter, Patricia, was
alone in the kitchen with an over

gas flames which threatened to
set the room on fire.
Mrs. Kennedy had gone down

upon returning found her door

pot of boiling water on the kitchen
stove also was overturned by the
draught, endangering little Pa

opened the door, disclosing little
damage done and no injury to Pa

Word was flashed to President
RooSevelt's special train, as he
was touring the drought-devaS-
tated regions of the West, and he
advised the White House he will
attend the funeral at Salt Lake
City. His train was tagged near
Bismarck, N. D., to receive the
message.

but the third to pass from among

Detroit Cleric Stands
Guard With Pistol,
Repeating Gun

DETROIT, Aug. % Q.N.S0
Blaming the Black Legion for a
series Of acts of vandalism, a
Catholic priest, armed with a re-
peating shotgun and a revolver,
today stood guard over his church,
threatening to shoot to kill' in
truderS.
The priest, Rev. Father Joseph
Fillion, 48-year-old pastor of st.
Joan of Arcs Church, in suburban
st. Clair Shores, took up the watch,
he revealed, after the latest act
of terrorism Tuesday night when
the church was set on fire.
In recent months, he said, win
dows in the church have been
broken, sacred hosts scattered over
the floor Of the sanctuary, his
car put out of commission and
telephone~lineS cut three times.
The priest charged:
"The Black Legion is at the
bottom Of this. 1 can't tell you
how I know, but it will come
out later"
When a reporter knocked on
the door of the rectory before
dawn to learn details of the van
daliStic attacks, Father Fillion
met him with a drawn revolver.
The priest would not pocket the
weapon until the reporter pre-
Sented his credentials.
Then, Soberly, he showed the re-
porter how he had covered him
with a repeating shotgun from a
window as the reporter walked up
to the door.
Warns He Will Shoot
Father Fillion said:
"ThiS thing started last
Christmas when somebody broke
number of windows in the
church. It's been going on ever
since. The fire Tuesday night
was the last straw. If / catch
the terrorist, or terrOriStS, I'll
shoot to kill"
A few weeks after Christmas
the church was broken into and
the golden doors on the tabernacle
smashed. Sacred Hosts were then
StreWn over the floor. Subsequent
ly, the priests garage was entered
and his car put out of commission
and telephone wires have been
cut three times.
The fire in the church Tuesday
night was noticed by a paSserby
He aroused Father Fillion and the
blaze was eXtinguished after a
hole had been burned in the
sanctuary floor.
Has Gun Permit
After the fire, cardboard box
which apparently had been filled
with gasoline-soaked rags, was

police confirmed the priests rev.
eIationS, and disclosed Father
Fillion had been granted a permit
to carry a gun. Throughout the
night, patrol cars from each sub
urb visit the church at least once
an hour, it was said.
Police said they had no evi
dence to confirm the cleric S
charges against the Black Legion.
and the priest himself would not
elaborate on his statements.
