Pointing out that the District

1929, Mr.. Cannon told the subcom-
mittee that under the law the local

He said many protests have

ARKANSAS HEARS
SOCIALIST LEADER
Nelson UnmoIeSted and Un-
heckIed in ''Hot Spot
of Terrorism"
Fy the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
EARLE, Ark. September 15-George
A. Nelson, unmolested and unheckled,
yesterday brought the doctrines Of
socialism into what another Socialist
termed "the hot spot of Arkansas ter
rorism."
Nelson, the Socialist candidate for
Vice President of the United States,
delivered an assault on capitalism be-
fore about 100 persons, while Sheriff
Howard Curtin and one deputy stood
by for protection"
Socialism" Nelson told his audi
ence, "is peaceful change from cap
italism to a production-for-use syS-
tenn" He made no public reference to
the tenant farmer problems that have
disturbed sections Of Eastern Arkansas.
Speaking from a merchants porch
on the towns principal street. Nelson
was introduced by ]. R. Butler, presi-
dent of the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union and Socialist candidate for
Governor of Arkansas
Butler said that, If elected, he would
give "laborers fair and square deal" :"
IF you're not worker" he told his
hearers, I'm not talking to you"
Then you're talking to the wrong
crowd" some one in the audience said
loudly. 1t was the only interruption.
Later Butler told reporters:
With this as an opening wedge, we
hope there will be no more terror
when the people hold their meetings
here. This has been the hot spot of
Arkansas terrorism
Sheriff Curlin, estimating the audi
ence, said about 20 persons were ten
ant farmers land the rest are Just
curious to see what they've got to
say"
Nelson and Butler later drove away
toward Little Rock.
Sheriff Curlin stood across the
street and listened to the addresses
Curlin attended at the request OF
Gov. J. M. Futrell. who said however

day that the newspaper is not q me-
dium for creating passing sensations,
but vast economic institution with q
great stake in the community"
In an address prepared for delivery
today at the associations twenty-first
annual convention, the Ohio newsrnan
said the present-day newspaper has q
necessary sense Of responsibility for
the welfare of the whole community"
II point this out with a moral" he
added. Don't try to spike your news
paper, to use economic pressure upon
it. Approach it decently, openly and
understandingly. Approach 1t with
the realization that the newspaper Is
a news institution with a law of the
news, which makes a newspapers re-
sponsibility little different from that
Of any other business.
Tragic incidents Of the depression
have left many bankers gun-shy Of the
public prints. Maybe in some cases
they are justified, but whether they are
or not, the cure is not in stunning

Prominent Negroes Appointed By
President for Farm Tenancy Study


WASHINGTON (cNA)-A few
hours after announcement by Rex
ford c. Tugwell, head Of the Re
settlement Administration, of a
program to transform tenant far
mers into snlall landowners. It was
reported that President Roosevelt
had accepted the resignation Of the
Resettlement head.
The President had appointed Sc
veral prominent Negroes to serve
on a special committee charged
with the task of studying and re-
porting by February l "a long,
term program Of actio, to allevi-
ate the shortcomings OF the farm
tenancy system" The appointees
include F. D. Patterson. president
of Tuslxegee Institute. Charles s.
johnson, professor of sociology at
Fisk University, and Mary Mcleod
Methune, president Of the Bethune
Goodman College. Daytona, Fla.
The committee is under the gem
eral auspices Of the National Re-
sources Committee.
1.-THE rapid increase in tenant
farmers during the past half CEN
tury," the President said. us sig
nificant evidence that we have
fallen short of achieving the tradi-
tional American ideal of owner
operated farms"
TugweIl's telegram, on which the
President did not comment, called
for federal loans to tenant farm
ers totalling 10000, 900 a year for
ten years and repayable in forty
years. The appropriation Of the
money VIII require an act of Con-
gress but Tugwell said he did not
anticipate any serious opposition.
Tugwell proposed that the plan
be carried out by the Department
of Agriculture with transfer of
the Resettlement Agency to that
department. It is understood that
officials of the department oppos-
ed the transfer, fearing that oper-
alton of the plan might antagonize
Southern planters and others in
the cotton states. The big plant
ers favor the AAA program of fed
eral payments for crop curtail-
ments under which they have be-
nefited greatly. but are opposed to
any plan that would give even a
nominal degree of security to the
impoverished tenant farmers.
Progressives. while agreeing with
the major points Of Tugwells pro-
gram, asserted that the proposed
appropriation would be totally in
adequate to finance a serious at
tack on the evils of farm tenancy.
They also condemned proposal
by Tugwell that the Federal adj
ministrative agency be empowered
to compel subsistence farming
practices, and to force the new
farm owners to abide by farm ma
nagement plans prescribed by the
agency as best suited for the land
they operate. 1t was pointed out
that this feature of the program
holds the danger that federal pc
onage may be substituted for land
lord peonage, with government
flunkeys cracking the whip over
the farmer and debating every
move he makes.
