U.N.S0.-Annulment proceedings
were under way today to dissolve
the marriage of little Martha Nell
North, IL, to Chandler L. Revell,
57-year-old grandfather whom the
girl charged promised her new
bicycle and lacy clothes if she
would be his bride.
Attorney Dewey Dye filed the
annulment motion in circuit court
here. Dye, retained by an older
sister of the sixth grade pupil,
said Revell was reported to have
left the county. necessitating a
possible delay ii the proceedings.
Martha Nell meanwhile was re-
ported to be in Jacksonville living
with an older sister.

NEW FARM AID
BILL DRAFTED
IN CONGRESS
By ROBERT HUMPHREYS
international News Service

Defeat Of the Presidents farm
tenancy legislation served today to
reveal strong sentiment in the
House Agriculture Committee for
a permanent, comprehensive farm
program embodying the crop cur
tailment detectives of the out
lawed AAA.
Representative Marvin Jones
CD Of Texas, committee chair
man, said that numerous groups,
including leaders of farm organiza-
lions, Department of Agriculture
officials, the legislative council,
and several committee members,
are at work on a general agricul-
tufal act. He said:
whether a general measure
can be worked out in this seS-
sion or not, cannot be deter
mined at this time, but a perma-
nent program is bound to
come"
Asked If a crop control program
employing a tax similar to the
-Guffey tax on production
of coal might be considered,
Jones said:
"There is widespread talk
about utilizing a tax system.
There is also some sentiment to
extend price-fixing beyond the
limited provisions now in the
soil conservation act"
The coal tax is refunded to pro-
ducers when they comply with
codes of fair trade.
Representative Hope (R), of
Kansas, ranking G. o. P. member,
took the position that sentiment
in the committee for a broad pro-
gram helped defeat the Presidents
tenancy proposals in the commit
tee yesterday. He said:
"Thre was far more demand
in the committee for legislation
which would provide agriculture
with adequate prices han for
farm tenancy program. Several
members felt that the way to
cure the tenant problem for the
greatest good was to make the
ownership Of farms worthwhile
first"

SEEK TO CUT

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP),
Bureau of air commerce officials
have revealed that they are seek
ing TO perfect an automatic re-
cording gadget which will make it
possible for investigators to re-
construct the scene inside an air
plane as it crashes to earth.
The airplanc which carried 10
persons to death near Salt Lake
City, Utah, was equipped with an
elementary device, they revealed.
If il was not smashed in the
crack-up, experts may be able to
learn more about the cause of
the accident than i'm any previous
case.
A graph i'm the wrecked air
plane showed the rate Of altitude
climb and descent plotted against
time scale. This may make it
possible for investigators to learn
whether the plane hit an air
bump and crashed or whether il
was flying too low off it's regular
course and smashed into peak
in it's path.
Officials said that eventually
they hope that the research divi-
sion will perfect a recording
gadgct which will show the read
ingS on the pilots instrument
board during flight. Such mfor-

PREVENTING COLDS

In spite of all the advances of medical
science, the common cold is as battling as
ever. There is no certain specific medicine
known for either preventing or curing
colds.
About all that can be done is to try
to avoid exposure which is likely to cause
cold, and if cold is contracted in spite
of precautions, go to bed and give nature
chance to throw it off
Keeping in mind that colds may be
communicated from one person to another,
although this danger is perhaps exaggerat-
ed, it is we'll to keep ones distance from
anyone known to have cold.
1 Physicians place particular stress on
the necessity for maintaining as good gem
eral health as possible so that bodily re-
sistance may be kept high. Persons who
are run down. or who do not get suffi-
scient sleep and rest are usually more sus-
ceptible to colds than those in better physi.
cal condition.
leading health official concisely
sums up the precautions to be taken
against colds as follows: Dress warmly
and sensibly, get plenty of rest, avoid I'M
due exposure, keep away from sneezers,
take some outdoor exercise, sleep in ven
tilated room, eat nourishing food"

LABOR MUST GUST RAcKETEEks

We are somewhat interested in the
story from New York City, telling how la
Dor racketeers threw loaded electric light
bulbs against the newly succeed walls of
a physicians residence, leaving twelve
huge spot of red aniline dye upon the re-
decorated house.
1t seems that an unidentified person
telephoned the physicians wife, demand
ing that non-union painters be discharged

planned that all persons employed We're re-
ceiving the union scale of wages and that
all of them needed their jobs.
Soon after daylight the next morning.
the owners of the house discovered the van
daliSm. OF course, no one knows who threw
the smear-bulhs but the inference is that
the barrage was the work of some group
which expected to profit from scch terror
ism. We do not ike to believe that respon-
sible labor leaders would sponsor such van
dalism. At the same time. it is commonly
reported that the labor movement in some
sections is in the hands of racketeers who
have ''muscled in
The Citizen gives its sympathy to the
labor movement unreservedly but it does
not endorse the tactics of thugs and gang
sters. The sooner responsible labor lead
ers disavow such tactics and are in position
to exert sufficient pressure TO prevent such
outrages. the quicker viii the public gen.
orally support labor unions.
