reputation of being gabby ball
player by talking in his sleep.

he Is trying to talk himself into

Leo won the first fall last night
in Is minutes with step-over toe

in quick order. Most of the time,
Leo, the Handsome, had been
Sprawled on the mat trying to get
out of Pats pet hammerlock, and
the sudden change in the course of
events came so quickly the GUS

Pat Catches Up
O'Shocker wasn't long in catching
UP. however. Seven minutes after
the second fall had started, he
grabbed himself two armSful of
Numa, whirled him over his head
and dumped him on the canvas for
the down. The final fall was just
the same, except that it took Pat

Otto Kuss, the eX-Indiana u.
star, and tough Tommy Marvin al

which ended in 26 minutes with
Otto on top.

and if Otto has a sore chin today it
isn't surprising. considering the
liberties tough Tommy took with it.
In addition to a few healthy pokeS,
Marvin also clamped on his we'll
known uncle hold, the chinlock,
only to have KuSs Scoot under the

tape off Marvin'S left hand, Otto
popped him on the chin three
times, hit him twice with flying
tackles, topped him four times in
healthy slams and then leaped on
him for the decision.

US. TRADE WAR THREATENED AS
GROUP ATTACKS AID TO CO-OPS
IN PREFERENTIAL TAX PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (UP).
First rumblings of a threatened
trade war in America were heard
today when a committee Of the u.
S. Chamber of Commerce demand
cd that governmental agencies
abolish preferential treatment in
tax exemptions, and other aid TO
consumers cooperativcS and treat
all business alike.
The committee, headed by Glenn
d. Johnston of Roanoke, Va,
made its report to the chamber 5
board of directors after careful
study of the growth and opera
tions of co-Opcrativcs and their
potential effect on private enter
prise. President Harper SibIcy
made the report public last night
without comment and gave no IN
dication of the attitude the board
vii ltakc toward the proposal IN
shaping its legislative program
for the coming session of con-
gresS.
Nevertheless, the United Press
learned that the directors are APP
prchcnsive over the spread of the
movement through which conSum-
ers band together and effect eco
Monies through cooperative pur-
chases and sales of various COM
moditics. Johnston's report was
discussed at considerable length
before it was made public.
The anxiety of some directors
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-10-05

is said to have been heightened by
the fact that President Roosevelt
has been studying the operations
of co-operativcs in Scandinavian
countries where the movement is
more advanced. Recently he APP
pointed a committee to make a
study. Rumors that the New
Deal, if returned to power in No
vember, contemplatcs further en-
enlargement to the co-operatives
have been current in the nations
capital for many months but new
or have been confirmed.
Moving in the face of this Situa-
ton, the chamber named COM
mittcc to study the problem. Last
night it dcclarcd:
at is improper for government
al agencies to extend preferential
treatment, by means Of tax eX-
cmption, financing, or other aid,
to consumers cO-OperativcS since
such enterprises arc but another
form of competitive force seeking
to win the support and patronage
of the American consumer.
"The committee believes that
consumers co-operativcs should
be required to progress on the
basis of their own merits"
Preferential treatment has been
extended to co-operatives under
federal and some state tax laws
since these enterprises came into
existence years ago.

constructive changes during the

"My conviction that this act Is

strengthened daily" he said, FOR
the Social Security Act establishes
the most rcactionary social inSur-

Its major features are neither So

is only its vast range and COM
plcxity which has so hopeleSsly
obscured it's social limitations and
sinister implications.
He described as "unsound' the
