Secretary Charges Drunken Driving
Case in Massachusetts Had
Political Angle

Wonburn, Mass, Aug. 25 AP)-
Judge Arthur E. Emo, of Lowell, to-
day acquitted Robert H. Ickes, ~, fos-
ter son of Secretary of Interior Har-
old Ickes, of driving while under the
influence of liquor.
Young Ickes, employed on a Pub
lie Works Administration project,
pleaded innocent to the charge and
declared he had one bottle of beer
several hours prior to his arrest the
night of August 10.
Two policemen, including Sergeant
Harold, who arrested Ickes, testified
he showed no signs of being intoxi-
Gated after his car bumped another
machine in parking. Harold said
only after questioning Ickes about his
license and registration did he smell
his breath and believed he might have
been drinking.
Ickes' arrest brought from his fos-
ter father the charge that his foster
son was the victim of unfair publ
city, inspired by unfair political rea-
sons"
Harold, however, denied the sec
retarys declaration.

Ripley, N. Y, Aug. 25.-(AP)-Gov-

into New York today for conferences
on presidential campaign strategy,
after declaring that widespread use
of the machinery of the Federal gov
eminent "to maintain the present adj
ministration in power created a pro

The Republican nominee, who in a
speech at Chautauqua, last night call
ed for freedom of education, press

discuss with party leaders plans to
win New York's At electoral votes.
Governor Landon prefaced his
speech in the Chautauqua amphi-
theatre with the statement:
"In Kansas we believe that our
schools-public, parochial and private
must be kept free of all control by
the Federal government.
"In Kansas we insist no teacher
should be required to take any oath
not required of all other citizens. In
Kansas we believe in academic free
dom and practice it.
"There must not be censorship of
what is spoken or written, and equally
important, there must be no control
of the source of news"

Employment
Nou Highest
Since 1880

Washington, Aug. 25 (AP)-A slight
increase in industrial employment
between June and July, described as
being contrary to the usual mid
summer decline, was reported today
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The gain of approximately 1000
workers was caused, the bureau
said, entirely by a pickup in employ
ment in So of 80 manufacturing in
dustries surveyed.
The bureau said a comparison with
July, 1895, showed nearly 100000
more workers were employed last
month than in July, 1885, and the
payrolls were $42,OOO,0OO a week
greater.
The bureau said the gain of nine
tenths percent in factory employment
continued an upswing that had been
in evidence since January and carried
the employment index to the highest
point since October 1880.

to Governor Ehringhaus his resigna-
ton from the commission to study the

also to make a study of conditions as
they exist in other states having diff

(By The Associated Press.0

Diplomatic proposals designed to
check brutality of SPANS fierce civil
war were authoritatively reported to-
day to be the subject of communica-
tions between France and Great Bri-
tain.
The foreign affairs committee of
the British cabinet was believed to
have taken the proposals under con-
sideration.
Since the war started in Spain there
have been frequent reports of the mis-
treatment of civilians and prisoners
by both the Socialist government and
the Fascist rebels.
The civil fires burned on in SPAIN
toward their ultimate Fascist or So
ciolist embers in a European atmos-
phere made suddenly more breathless
by Nazi-decreed expansion of the
German army.
Not connected directly with the
civil war, Adolf Hitler's doubling OF
the universal military term in the
Reich served, nevertheless, to throw
the whole international conflict be-
tween right and left into sharp re-
lief.
His decree of two years compulsory
service under arms was aimed direct
ly at what the Nazis called "aggres-
sive Soviet Russian militarism."

ing the execution of four rebel officers

Raleigh, Aug. 25.-Disputed testi-
mony regarding the alleged confess
sion Sunday at States Prison by Mar
tin Moore, convicted murderer Of
Helen Clevenger, banishes the Off
cial hope that the case itself is ended.
The presence in this State of many
members of the National Association

pie, guarantees on such a case as this
a protracted debate. The N. A. A. C.
P. has been in numerous other North
Carolina litigations, civil and criminal.
The point to be made in the Moore
case is that the prisoner was not
given time for a good defense and
that on the jury which tried him
there were no negroes. There were
none on the grand jury which indict-
ed him.
These would be the federal ques-
tions involved and while they cannot
be regarded serious, in the opinion
of good lawyers, they will delay the
execution of the prisoner several

The majority of campaign and con-

SO much CUFF prior to the end of the

clear-the magnitude of reality is
overshadowing all the make-believe is
sues. A terrible conflagration has be-
gun in Europe-and who is safe?
And especially who is safe with in
flamatory statements being made in
the United States also?
The civil war in Spain is not pure
ly an internal issue. 1t is the march
of fascism toward western Europe
And, because before that terror, an
other terror of the other extreme
arises, due to the Fascist-instigated
civil war, flames and counter-f flames

North Carolina could reduce prices

Some Virginia cities meet those prices.
The establishment of terminal on
the coast with the advantages of

many people think. The Morrison

development of port terminals based
upon a bond issue of $10,0OO,OOO. That
was defeated at the polls in the gen
