HOPE PURGE
ARE ALL OVER
Cite FarIey's Ticket In
New York
BY EARL GOODWIN

Some of these old-time Demo
Gratis in the Senate shiver as If
they had the worst case Of filters,
shell shock. or housemaid's knee
when they think CaS they DO
think of what the President has
done to the dear old Democratic
party with that purge of his. One
of them backed this writer UP to a
wall in the Capitol Building and
said in a hoarse whisper:
rs there any chance of that
man quitting this purge busi-
neSs?"
This writer thinks that as long
As Franklin D. Roosevelt is him
self he will break out in some new
direction at any moment. One OF
his best characteristics, 1t has
been noticed, is to take the best
advice he can get from the wlsest
people on earth-and then do
what he jolly we'll pleases.
FARLEY'S TACT
However, the regulars of the
old guard of the Democratic party
are hoping to high heaven that
the Head Man will take notice OF
the fact that when it comes TO
making up a swell vote-gettlng
party slate and ramming 1t nome
at q State convention, the OId
Master, James A. Farley, reached
an aIl-time high when he made
Governor Lehman give up sena-
torial ambitions and board the
Democratic slate again Tor a
fourth try at the governship.
This, it may be explained, Is IN
dicatiye of the fact that the OLD
time professional politicians win
while the amateurs of the purge
committee step on their own feet.
The New York State Democratic
ticket is regarded in Democratic
political circles as a masterpiece
They look on Lehman as sure to
beat young Tom Dewey (although
that is by no means a certainty {,
and they are lauding the handiwork
of Chairman Farley to the skies;
because he has not only made up
o good slate in Democratic eyes,
but has fixed it so that the lett
wing Democrats have got to like 1t.
Actually, Governor Lehman finds
no welcome" on the New Deal
mat. The brain trusters consider
him a bankers type conservative;
the Presidents adherentS find two
faults in him.
GOOD RIGHT ARM"
He used to be the Presidents S
"good right arm" but now that
arm has two kinks in it: One-Leh-
man switched from the President
on the Supreme Court plan; sec
ond. he took credit for putting the
New York State treasury in the
discriminating tn 1t the req
was Roosevelt's fault.
That crack got him a black look
from the White House and a
speech from the President IN
which it was shown that State
treasures were going from red to
black on PWA and other Federal
funds.
But all in all, the kind of poll
ticians who have to conduct con-
ventions and organize winning
campaigns look on the Lehman
ticket in New York as Farley
masterpiece.
1t keeps Lehman from running
for the Senate now, and that is
one thing the New Deal can be
thankful for, as New Dealers
don't want conservative Lehman
in the Senate: they want Wagner
reelected and Jim" M e d
elected in the late DR.. Copeland'F
place.
AS has been said-the whole
business of the Democratic slate
In the vast Empire State is one
more tremendous political victorJ
for Jim" Farley-at least that's
what the boys in the back room
are saying.

KIDNAP TRIAL
BY JURORS IS
MCCALL PLEA
Attorney Says Jury Could
Recommend Life Term;
Death Imposed >..u

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Dec. ID,
-CUP)-Attorneys for Franklin
Pierce Mccall, 21, condemned kid
naper of the Cash baby, asked
Florida's supreme court yesterday
to order a new trial so his fate
could be determined by "a jury of
II men instead of one man."
Circuit Judge H. F. Atkinson at
Miami pronounced sentence on the
youth last June 16 after hearing
him admit abducting five-year-old
Jimmy Cash from his home at
Princeton the night of May % for
$4,000 ransom. However, Nc
Call claimed he killed the child ac-
cidentally.
Assistant Attorney General l.,
A. Truett asked the court to af-
firm the sentence to show crimi-
mails that Florida. which attracts
many wealthy visitors thus in
creasing the temptation Of kidnap-
ing. was. mot going to tolerate
anything of this kind" . Il
c. A. Avriett, Jasper attorney,
pleading in the condemned youths
behalf, asserted jury should have
been called for the trial despite
McCall's guilty plea. A jury. Az
riett said, could have recommend
ed life Imprisonment instead of
the death penalty. . wa al.
r The. death penalty, under Flor
ida's law on kidnapping for ransom,
is mandatory unless a majority of
the Jury recommends mercy. Since
Judge Atkinson heard the case
without jury, there was no al
tentative.
Avriett also charged that Nc
Call was not properly represented
by counsel at the arraignment. He
appealed to the court to send the
case hack to the circuit court so
Mccall could be tried by "a Jury
of II men instead of one man"
E. c. Rutledge. who also ap-
peared for Mccall, described the
youth, son of a minister, as boy
"iust out of high school who had
no other thoughts but that his SEN
tence would be life imprisonment
when he made his plea OF guilty.
Truett characterized Mccall as

swinging, the newspaperman cut
himself a piece of Madero's fore
arm and they called it day.

PLAN TO SLASH.
LINT SURPLUS.
Would. Turn Back Third of
Present Surplus to
- Growers

NEW ORLEANS, Dec, IA. (pP)
Sen. John H. Bankhed Of Ala.
bania proposed last night that
one-third of the normal cbttor
yield be turned over to, farmers
from the existing surplus on con
dition that they decrease then
acreage that amount. .a
Such a plan, Bankhead said,
would reduce the surplus "foul
or five" million bales within q
year.
Speaking before the 10th an,
nual convention of the American
farm bureau federation, Bank
head also proposed that an addi-
tional $200,000.000 be raised by
taxes for continued cotton ad-
justment> payments for "some
time" gs..
He thought. however, that a
definite limit should be put on
prevent dumping" on the mar
ket.
He promised that he would adj
vocate in the next session of con-
gress the creation of a "cotton
commissioner" since no official
in the department of agriculture
was able to devote sufficient time
to the problems of cotton.
"In the next session of con-
gress," Bankhead said 81 shall
advocate the creation of a cotton
commissioner with the power to
supervise and coordinate the acti-
yities of government looking to-
ward new uses for cotton and de-
veloping markets abroad for cot
ton and cotton products.
Where there was no conflict
with existing trade agreements,
Bankhead said, the proposed COM
missioner would have the power
to swap cotton to foreign coun-
tries for manufactured goods.
Bankhead told wheat and corn
farmers "that he would be pleas
ed'' to join with them in securing
similar representatives - wheat
and corn commissioners.
He advocated the development
of agricultural representation
with theh leadership and the
courage to make the wants of the
farm, known in congress. 49,,
Referring to the value of .busi-
ness methods Of farmers, he said,
81 think, my friends, how val
liable it would be to farmers if
by adjusting supply to fit market
conditions, they would know what
they would have to spend when
their crop was marketed"
There was a roar of applause
when Bankhead said:
81 think, however,, that our
farm leaders are highly pleased
with the results of the referen
dun held last Saturday. The, tre-
mendous vote of approval, for a
large part, was the result of ac-
tive courageous leadership"
+, He thought it, likely that the
cotton surplus would be increas-
ed next year and recommended
that to. assure 70 a reduction of
"four OF five" million bales of the
existent surplus that one-third of
the normal yield be given to far
mers from the warehouses on the
condition that their acreage be
decreased that amount.
President Edward A. O'Neal

eral farm program and called it

gram we. have ever had"
