The last speaker. Mr.. Leon Elsberg of the

Last week thirty eight persons reported for
tipping. Blood-typing takes place every wednesday
be tween 1900 Pm. and $3.50 Pm. at the Medical

necessary for ascertaintng your type. Of the
four major types, the two most prevalent ones
seem to be evenly divided and. to date, prac-
tically ninety per cent of those typed have an

Greenbelt citizens rest assured that,
for emergencies, they have uni nited source
of lifes elixir. For each emergency case from
four to eight persons of the blood-type are
called and their blood is crossmatched with that

RELIGIOUS LEADERS SPEAK ON cooPERA31vEs AID


Cooperation, which sponsored by the Cooperative
Organizing Committee, representatives of three
religious faiths followed each other to the plat
form and spoke for the cooperative method doing
business. Each In turn pointed out that coopera-
tives provide their members with higher stand
ard of living, that their method of doing business
is compatible wi tn democratic institutions, and
that they play very definite part in the
tion of moral and religious values.
The first speaker. Father Charles E. Hogen of
the Catholic University, spoke the subject HThe
Symphony of Life" comparing the members society
wi tn the players in symphony concert. He asked
the audi to compare the results to be expected
under cooperative system wi tn those to be
found under system of competitive business. He
pointed out that under present system each
Der Of society is too busily engaged making q
living to allow himself adequate time for religious
cont emplation.
AS a specific example Of the icacy of coopera-
tive enterprise, Father Hogan reviewed history

ST. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, Aug.
-(AP)-Secretary Wallace of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture proposed today that farm Off
Gals of all nations meet to formulate
a set of principles designed to assure
farming classes a fair" shares OF
the worlds income.
Such principles, he said, should eli

and should assure each agricultural
exporting nation it's proper share OF
the world markets.
Wallace spoke before an interna-
tional conference of agricultural eco
nomists at Mcdonald College.
ct am convinced" he said, "that all
nations could agree on the desirability
of systems Of agriculture which will
maintain soil fertility and which will
tend to give the farm sections Of the
population fair share of the national
income"
The secretary, urging abandonment
of trade barriers, said:
"In the realities of 1888, we find
numerous countries pursuing their
programs of price-fixing and export
subsidy with little regard to the fact
that when carried to an extreme they
have been mutually self-defeating.
"Such programs, when carried out
by number of countries at the same
time bring about an excessive in
crease in the supply of products on
the international market, and waste
human effort which can best be de-
voted to producing something"

(By The Associated Press. }

Representative James Wadsworth
Republican, New York, declared at
Washington, Indiana, the Democratic
administration forces had plunged the
nation into economic depression, and
are gambling with the fate of the
nation" in the keynote speech today
at the Republican "cornfield con-
ference" on a farm near there.
The meeting, held in 120-acre tent
city near the southern Indiana town
of 10000 population, opened the Re
publican campaign in eleven mid
western states and the fall campaign
to elect a Republican Congress.
Thousands of party workers were
present, including Republican national
officials leaders from the midwest
and Indiana adherents, from precinct
committeeman up.
Even as they gathered in Indiana,
Pennsylvania Democrats rallied at
Hershey to open their drive to retain
control of the keystone State-de-
scribed by leaders of both sides as
one of the major battle grounds of
the fall election campaign. Governor
George Earle, senatorial nominee, was
the keynoter.
In California and South Carolina,
meanwhile, primary races of major
national interest were drawing to a
close. The elections will be Tuesday.
South Carolina's candidates for the
Democratic senatorial nomination,
Senator Ed Smith, Governor Olin
Johnston, and State Senator Edgar
Brown, wound up their formal speak
ing campaigns last night. Johnston
campaigned as a 100 percent Roose-
welt supporter, as did Brown. Smith
said he had supported EIGHT percent"
of the administration measures and
criticized Johnston as a potential
rubber stamp" senator. Both Brown
and Johnston called Smith an anti
New Dealer.

The 8.30-cent loan rate will apply

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Aug. 27.-On the third
anniversary of the date on which the
Federal Social Security act became
effective Senator Arthur Capper of
Kansas, who was prominent among
the statesmen who co-operated to
draft the law, broadcast talk in the
course of which he said:
"Unless government recognizes and
helps to make possible the Oppor-
tunity for every Industrious and hon
est individual to own property of his
own, the lack of that opportunity will
do more to spread communism than
any amount of Communist propa-
ganda. Unemployment, lack of OPP
portunity, restitution, distress, de-
spair-these, not oratory and pro-
paganda, are the breeders of COM
munism and revolt"
Exactly. If conditions are satisfac-
tory folk are not going to want to
change them for some new system. If
they are unsatisfactory there is bound
to be a demand for change, and no
investigation of the demand for it is
going to head off that demand.
Hardly Saturated.
I suppose there are some Com
munist missionaries in this country.
And some Fascists and Nazis.
I don't see how they can be pre-
vented from enfiltering into any nor
mally un-Communistic, un-Fascist or
un-Nazi organization, such as the c.
1. O., the A. F. of l.. any church mem
bership or anything else.
Why, I know an esteemed fellow
member of the congressional press
gallery and of the National Press Club
Laurence Todd, Washington CORES
pondent of the Telegraph Agency OF

that one membership prove that ou1
