CANNON LIBEL SUIT
TRIAL IS OPENED
Bishop Seeks Damages From
Representative Tinkham
for Alleged Attack.

The long-deferred s500.000 libel
suit filed by Bishop James Cannon,
jr., against Representative George
Holden Tinkham, Republican, Of
Massachusetts,, for an attack the latter
made subsequent to the 1928 presi-
dental campaign, went to trial today
before q jury in Justice Jennings
Bailey's court.
Bishop Cannon was absent as the
case got under way, with attorneys
for both sides outlining to the jury the
stand taken by their respective clients.
Representative Tinkham sat inside
the counsel rail as his attorney. Roger
j. Whiteford, declared in an opening
statement that the defendant will
show that charges to the effect that
Bishop Cannon violated the corrupt
practices act were true when his client
uttered them on and of the floor Of
the House.
Cannon sued Tinkham after the
latter had, first in a speech on the
floor and later in signed statement,
accused the Methodist Bishop Of con-
cealing money contributed for the
Herbert Hoover campaign by E. G..
Jameson, wealthy New Yorker.
Challenge Issued.
The signed statement, which was
read to the jury, was issued by Tink-
ham after Bishop Cannon had chal-
lenged the Representative to divest
himself of congressional immunity and
repeat the charges made on the floor.
In the statement Tinkham said,

PADUCAH, KY, January 2s.-At

young pilot named Tom Livermore

Connell Field in Nashville, Tenn,

top with Red Cross supplies, every
thing from outboard motors to rub

The load we did not regard as es-
pecially significant. The point was
that Nashville authorities wanted to
know where it would be possible to
land an airship in Paducah. We

Demands of two Government
agencies for more power to investigate
strike conditions carried phases of the
General Motors deadlock today to
Capitol Hill.
Secretary Perkins asked quick au-
thorization for the Labor Department
to seek out and make public the cause
of the strikes, lockouts and other in
dustrial disputes, and to recommend
settlements.
Miss Perkins said the proposals,
which would give her power to take
testimony under oath and subpoena
records, was not aimed at the General
Motors impaSse, but this situation
brings it to mind"
The financial position of employers
could be studied under her proposal,

wage increases for employees.

Another appeal to Congress affect

the La Toilette Civil Liberties Com
mittee's request for an additional
$780, 900 to investigate the strike. With
out the money, according to Senator
Thomas, Democrat, Of Utah an ex-
haustive inquiry would be impossible.
As part of its industrial espionage,
the committee dipped again today
into the General Motors situation.
Leon Scott, whom a union official
called an undercover operative for
the Corporations Auxiliary Co., was
called to testify, as were union repe-
sentatives.

not to take part in union affairs were
dismissed.
Speaker Bankhead said today he
had assured Secretary Perkins her
letter requesting expanded authority
in dealing with strikes would be "given
the consideration a communication OF
that sort justifies."
Miss Perkins asked Bankhead and
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, for utmost haste"

THE B1GGEsr BUSINESS

Ask the average Kennewick man
what he considers the biggest in
dustry in the U. s. and chances are
he will answer either the steel or
automobile industries. But either
answer would be wrong, for the
dairy industry is larger than eth
er of them, counting that it CLEANS
most of its profits from ice cream,
cheese and by-products other than
fluid milk. American farmers pro-
duce forty-five billion quarts of
milk year of which Is percent is
used on the farm, 80 percent is dis
tributed in bottles, 33 percent is
made into butter, percent into
cheese, percent into evaporated
condensed and dry milk, 2 percent
into ice cream and percent is used
for miscellaneous purposes Milk
constitutes approximately a fourth
of all the 1,500 pounds of food an
average person consumes in a
year. So hats off to the dairying
industry, the biggest business of
which great nation can boast.

MEMORIAL DAY

For the soldiers of all wars, living
and dead, the sentiment of Memoir
ial Day must forever be perpetuated
From the heroes of Colonial days
down to those of the World War,
there must always live in the hearts
of true Americans spirit of honor
and respect. And it is in this spirit
the nation reaches an anniversary
dedicated to the sacrifices they
made that we might enjoy liberty
and peace
In nation in which all sectional
ism has long since been set aside; a
nation that is great because every
part of it can lay claim to great
ness; nation founded on the prin-
ciples of equality and a free ballot,
Memorial Day carries significance
all its own. It speaks the spirit of
loyalty and freedom from tyranny
and oppression; it is dedicated to
the future safeguarding of that
spirit. On thousand battlefields in
dozen wars American soldiers
havesacrificed that we who follow
them might enjoy the blessings that
todays are ours. So on this Memoir
ial Day, set aside for paying trib-
ute to those who gave much and
those who gave all, it is fitting and
appropriate that the entire nation
should join.
In those struggles of the past
Kennewick and surrounding COM
munity furnished a generous quota
Of defenders. Today many Of them
rest ION fame's eternal camping
ground" But the sacrifices they
made are not forgotten by our peo-
pie; the loyalty they displayed in
defense Of the flag still serves as an
example this and all coming gener-
atoms should emulate If America is
to continue in her greatness. That
we may not lose sight Of this great
truth, we have Memorial Day. And
the noble purpose to which it is
dedicated must not be lost sight of.

THE H1TCH-H1KER

With the arrival Of warm weather
and the return Of insect pests comes
q return Of that other insect, or
pest, or whatever you may want to
call hin-the hitch hiker. From
early indications it looks as tho
he Is going to be present on high
ways around Kennewick in even
larger numbers than for several
summers past.
While several states have sought
to wipe out the practice Of hitch
hiking by passing laws against it,
it would take a standing army to
enforce such laws. Hitch hiking
has long offered an easy and mex
pensive way of cumming way
about the country, and it viii be
continued just as long as there are
motorists willing to stop and pick
up THUNDER. Warnings in the
newspapers against picking up
strangers, and the fact that some
cold blooded murders and many
cases Of banditry have been COM
mttted by hitch-hikers, doesn't
seem to be very effective in elimin-
attng them. There are thousand
OF hitch-hikerS who are honest,
gentlemanly and worthy Of q lift.
But on the other hand there are
Thousands who are criminals at
heart, and not to be trusted.
There seems to be but one solu-
ticn to the problem: but one way
whereby q motorist may be abso-
lutely sure Of not becoming a VIC
TIM Of the bad type Of hitch hiker.
That is to refuse to pick up any Of
them.
