design with narrow chromium strips
bordering the pleated panels.
Striking feature Of the car IN

Yesterday signed an order direct
ing Rep. Marion A. Zioncheck, D.,

/, Although Zioncheck might file

Meanwhile, he remains in Gal

NEW YORK, June 20. (UP)-
The strength of Father Charles
E. Coughlin's National Union for
Social Justice was thrown behind
the third party presidential can
didacy of Rep. William Lemke to-
day.
Coughlin in a speech broadcast
last night gave the full endorse
ment of his union to Lemke's can
didacy. He said Lemke's 15-point
program was 'way to freedom.
GAS presented to me, this plat
form reads as if it were born in
the hearts of a group of rebels"
Coughlin said. "If you think so,
you are right in thinking so, be-
cause this group rebels against the
bankers bonds, their tax exempt
bonds, their radicalism, and their
financial slavery"
Coughlin was escorted to the
broadcasting studios by a group
of followers who left with MIN
soon after the broadcast was COM
pleted but not until they had
threatened violence to a reporter
who questioned Coughlin sharply.

SHIP SUBSIDY

BILL Held UP
Filibusters Against This

Bill Loom '.
THREE BILLS co TO
WHITE HOUSE TODAY

WASHINGTON, June 20 (UP)
The house today approved the
senate ship subsidy bill, removing
the first Of three barriers to con
gressional adjournment.
The senate followed quickly by
completing approval of the ship
subsidy bill and the treasury and
post office appropriation measures
and sending both to the White
House.
The second barrier was the ad-
ministration tax bill, on which the
senate agreed to vote at 2:30 p.
M, despite a furry Of attacks
against the bill, led by Sen. Harry
F. Byrd, D., Va. Senate approval
was expected. -
The remaining threat to ad-
journment was the Guffey coal
bill. The senate was scheduled to
vote on the question of taking up
this question at 8 o'clock this af-
ternoon.
Opponents said that if the bill
is taken up for consideration,
they will talk without limit in an
effort to kill It.
The senate began a bitter wran-
gle over the controversial confer
ence report on the administra-
tion's $8O0,O00,000 tax bill last
night an hour after it had been
accepted by the house.
Conservative Democrats op-
posed to the revolutionary tax
measure objected strenuously to
hasty action on the report, threat
ening filibuster tactics that might
wreck hopes of leaders to adjourn
congress tonight. T
Sen. Rush D. Holt, D., W. Va,

LEMKE HEADS
UNION PARTY
ASCANDIDA7E
Announces for President,
Promulgates 15-Plank
Platform

WASHINGTON, June 20. (UP)
Bald-headed William Lemke, nom
partisan representative at = large
from North Dakota, late yesterday
announced for president of the
United States as candidate of
"Union party" he hopes to fuse
out of Coughlin-Townsend-Farm-
Labor voters.
He named Thomas Charles
O'Brien, Boston lawyer, as his
running mate, and announced a
Is point platform as a "challenge
to the reactionaries" in both ma
jor parties.
The platform declared for a
, Central bank, for farm mortgage
refinancing, laws aiding the farm
er and the worker, and limitations
of individual Incomes and Inherit
ances.
Two hours after making his an
nouncement to the press, Lemke
read it and his platform over the
radio. He said the Union party
would be non-partisan in congress
sional elections, supporting candi-
dates of either party who have
voted for progressive legislation.
Lemke told the United Press he
had no doubt that his group could
elect to the next congress a ma
jority of representatives flavor
able to our cause"
Reaction in the capital was va
ried. Many saw no chance for a
third party, while some progress
sive elements endorsed the idea
cautiously. Warmest endorsement
came from Lemke's. colleague in
the senate, Lynn j. Frazier, with
whom he once played football and
with whose name his own has been
linked in "inflationary" legisla-
tion.
Lemke, 81 years old, Yale law
graduate and former attorney
general of North Dakota, has been
in congress for two terms. His
efforts have been chiefly in be-
half of farm legislation. He was
co-author with Frazier of the Fra
zier-Lemke farm moratorium,
since declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court, permitting
farmers to 60 bankrupt but to
hold their farms for five years II
they made modest payments. At
ter it was ruled invalid he intro
duced a similar law applying for
three years, which has not yet
been tested finally.
His farm mortgage refinancing
bill, defeated in the house last
month, called fer a $3,O0O,OOO,-
600 currency issue to refinance
u. S. farm mortgages at l IL
per cent interest and 1 1-2 per
cent principal, giving farmers AZ
years to pay off their debt.

ment were the Is planks of the

SENSATIONAL CHARGE MADE
OFDEAL BYFARLEY IN BID FOR
NEW UNION PARTY SUPPORT
Burdick Charges Trade for
Which Louisiana Vote
Was To Be Delivered for
Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, June 20. (UP)
Rep. Usher |. Burdick, R., N. D.,
today bid for the share-the-wealth
support of the newly formed
Union party with sensational
charge that James A. Farley made
secret deal with the heirs of the
Huey Long movement for the
New Deal to control Louisiana.
Burdick's charges are present
ed in a long statement inserted
in the Congressional Record. He
said he had carried the facts in
his pocket since last January but
didn't try to publish them because
he feared the public wouldn't be-
lieve them.
Burdick's progressive ideas, es-
pecially on farm-labor problems,
closely parallel those of his boy
hood friend, Rep. William Lemke,
R., N. D., who announced his cam
didacy for president on a Union
party ticket supported by Father
Coughlin. He charged that the
Long forces agreed to have con-
gressmen withdraw their names
from the Frazier-Lemke petition
and vote against the imitation
farm mortgage bill when it came
up.
The Long machine also was to
deliver Louisiana for the presi-
dent. Burdick said that in return
the New Deal agreed to dismiss
indictments against Sc YIN +
Weiss and other Long leaders for
income tax evasion, although "it
was agreed civil suits might be
continued to recover any taxes
lost to the government"

The Robinson-Patman chain store
bill today became law when Presi-
dent Roosevelt signed the meas
ure.
The bill is designed to prevent
price discrimination between pur-
chasers of like quantity and
quality of goods from a manutac-
turer, and for this reason has
been construed as aiding the indie
pendent merchant against chain
stores.
In addition, the bill carries pro-
visions designed to prevent false
brokerage or false advertising al
lowances. -i
