STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

NASHVILLE, Aug. Gov. Gordon
Browning and Senator George L.
Berry. seeking denomination, are de-
feated if Shelby County (Memphis)
is allowed to cast its ballots in the
Democratic primary on Thursday. and
the ballots are not later successfully
challenged in the courts.
For Shelby County is expected to
cast 10000 or more ballots. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the vote for
Browning and for Berry will be not
more than 5000 to l0.000-and that
the rest will be cast for the Crump-
McKellar candidates, Prentice Cooper
for Governor and A. T. Stewart for
Senator
The Crump organization in Men,
phis, the most effective political ma
chine probably in the country today.
two years ago gave Gov. Browning
59.874 votes to 825 for his opponent.
Rurgin Dossett-a ratio of about 60
to l. ED" Crump was supporting
Browning then and Senator McKellar.
Dossett. 1t is really something of q
concession for the Crump-McKella
leaders to ST., gest that this year
Memphis will poll 5000 or 10000 votes
for the anti-Crump. candidates.
Gov. Browning insists that he will
carry the State outside of Shelby
County in big way, enough, in fact.
to overcome the lead his opponent will
have in Memphis. He recalls that
two years ago he came down to Men,
phis with an $1,000 lead over Dossett
and that the Memphis vote was mere
gravy and not needed to put him
across.
More impartial observers say, how
ever, that if the Governor carries the
State outside Of Memphis, it will be
by not more than $4,000 and that
he will be swamped in Shelby County.
Announcement by Gov Browning
that he will not send the National
Guard into Memphis to patrol the
voting precincts-which had been
planned-has eased the tension but
has not blotted out the bitter feeling
that is running high in this cam
paign. The Governor will not send
in the troops unless he changes his
mind. he says.
Crump and his friends, including
the Mayor Of Memphis, Watkins
Overton, are taking nothing for
granted. They have obtained from
Federal Judge John d. Martin an
injunction against the sending of
troops into Memphis. Judge Martin
has directed the United States mar
shall to bring to his assistance sufficient
power to resist an invasion. The
petition for the injunction was signed
by 40 persons headed by Sheriff Guy
Joyner. It declared that there was
threat Of violation Of the 14th, 18th
and 10th amendments to the Federal
Constitution. The entry Of the troops,
the petition asserted, would frighten
women and Negroes and violate the
rights of citizens to vote freely and
as they wish.
Browning Defiant.
Gov. Browning, speaking in Mem
phis last night. def1ed the Federal
injunction, declaring that it was silly
to think that the Governor Of the
State could be deferred from handling
the State troops.
Gov. Browning and his followers
may themselves seek court action to
block or to vitiate Shelby County bal
lots. It Is the contention of the Gov
ernor that the 1887 registration. which
was first attacked by the city election

UNION SUES clio.
IN LIBEL ACTION
Insurance Association Asks
S1,000,0 900, Raising
LEGAL Point.

A 100000 libel and slander suit
was filed against the Committee for
Industrial Organization in District
Court today by the National Associa-
ton of Industrial Insurance Agents
because c. I. o. officials allegedly
have publicly described the associa-
ton as company union," thus en-
barrassing the members and causing
financial loss to the organization.
1t was said the suit will test whether
the c. I. O. may be sued as a legal
entity although operating and carry
ing on its activities in an unincorpor-
ated status.
The suit was filed for the associa-
ton. a national union of insurance
agents in Washington, with a mem
bership of about 10000, by Attorney
Horace Chapman Young.
Mr.. Young told the court c. I. o.
spokesmen have on various occasions
publicly referred to the insurance or
ganization as company union, -
fostered and promoted by insurance
companies.
The association denies that allega-
ton. Mr.. Young said, and asserted it
is an Independent organization, 10
months old, and in nowise controlled,
supervised, or financed by insurance
companies or outside sources.
Despite its youth as an organiza-
ton, the court was told, the associa-
ton was a rapidly growing group at
the time attacks were made upon it
by c. I. o. spokesmen.
The assertion that the association
is "a company promoted enterprise, -
the suit declared, aroused prejudice,
antagonism and ill feeling among in
dustrial workers generally and worked
to the serious injury of the associa-
ton in the pursuit of its business.
Not only was the growth of men,
bership slowed down, it was claimed,
but substantial loss in the number
of existing members developed.

The Bureau of Mines disclosed in
formation today which it said con
f1rmed" reports that Mexico had
found a market for American and
British appropriated oil in Germany.
According to information obtained
through the London Tanker Market"
the bureau said, the report that
Mexican oil has found an outlet In
Germany is confirmed. Several tankers
have been fitted out to the account
Of German firms"
Mexico. by executive order of Presi-
dent Cardenas, took over possession
and operation Of American and British
oil wells in that country several
months ago. The result was an ac-
emulation of oil for which Mexico
could nnd no export outlet immedi-
ately.
Quoting Paris sources, the bureau
said bills of lading on Mexican oil
call for eventual discharge of the
cargoes in English or Continental
ports. but added. 1T is probable that
the real destination of these vessels
is Germany"
Several tankers. it said. have been
chartered for periods of six months
to two years. One has been engaged
for 10 years.
The bureau said chartering had
not been concluded on the London
market as is generally the custom,
but the contracts for these ships
flying various European flags have
been signed directly with the owners.

GLIB, for Sunday, March 6:
The third great preaching tour of
Jesus in Galilee. commenced with
his rejection in his home town of
Nazareth and eliminated in his
sending out the Twelve in the first
Independent tour of evangelism.
1. "And he went out from
thence, and came unto his own
country and his disciples followed
him There is something human
in ones desire to go to ones native
town, in which fact Jesus showed
lis humanity. There is something
beautiful in Jesus wanting to intro
duce his close friends to the home
folks
VS.. 2, 8. "And when the Sab
bath day was come, he began to
teach in the synagogue; and many
hearing him were astonished, say
ing: From whence has this man
these things? And what wisdom is
even such mighty works are
wrought by his hands? Is not this
the carpenter the son of Mary? And
they were offended at him." Jesus
never missed an opportunity of at
tending the Sabbath public service
of worship, in which he took his
full part of teaching, The home
claims though they acknowledged
his works. They even showed con-
tempt in using the phrase "this
man" and acted childish in becom
ing offended for no reason at all.
V. 4. "And Jesus said unto them.
A prophet is not without honor, but
in his own country, and among his
own kin, and in his own house"
Those who do not have the spirit Of
Christ are slow to think of an asso-
ciate as being superior in intellect,
influence and power. Character can
not be measured by social status,
environment, or even the home.
V. 5. "And he could there do no
mighty work, save that he laid his
hands on few sick folk, and heal

tion of people. There must be q
welcome, cooperation and an alb
solute faith and obedience to the
will of God if the Lord can manifest
his saving power. Jesus was so dis
appointed with his home town and
home folks that che marvelled," 1T
was so hard to understand, for he
wanted to do them all good.
v. T. "And he called unto him
the twelve, and began to send them
forth by two and two; and gave
them power over unclean spirits"
Jesus refused to be discouraged.
He seemed stimulated by the Naz-
areth experience so that he enlarg-
ed his activities by working through

| their journey save staff only; no
scrip, no bread, no money in their
purse" Former journeys made
enough friends that hospitality was
ensured. Going empty handed gave
the Lord chance to better work
through them. They were the fore
runners Of men of faith and the pro-
gram was initiated by making faith
stand out big.
V. 10. "And he said unto them,
In what place soever ye enter into
an house, there abide till ye depart
from that place" They were to live
simple life. They We're not to be
visiting around feasted with spe.
cial attentions. This plan afforded
more time for meditation, thought
ful preparation and communion
with God. Our social life with the
many activities and good programs
has made the simple life hard for
us.
V. IL. "And whosoever shall not
receive you, nor hear you, when ye
depart thence, shake off the dust
under your feet for testimony
against them. Verify / say unto
you, it shall be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of
judgment, than for that city, 1t is
a serious matter to spurn the relig-
ION Christ offers. 10 90 so makes
one a member of the rejected group
whose final doom is beyond descrip-
tion. This fact stands today.
v. r. "And they went out and
preached that men should repent" +"
1t is significant that the command
Repent was in the first messages
of John the Baptist, Peter, Paul,
Christ, and now of the disciples in
their first preaching mission. Sure
ly we must make a large place for
repentance today.
v. 13. ''And they cast out many
devils, and anointed with oil many
that were sick, and healed them. I"
Results tell the story. These twelve
were truly Christ's disciples. Jesus
fulfilled his promise in them be-
cause they obeyed him implicitly.
How rich we may be by claiming
His promises!
