1t Was a Good
Idea at the Time

G.. M. Lairmore, 48, came to the
Ell Centre police station to report
a stolen car--and stayed to serve
10 days in Jail.
Lairmore stumbled into the po-
lice station Wednesday night and
announced thickly that his auto
mobile had been stolen. He was
emphatic about it. He pounded the
counter. Then his legs did queer
things, and he fell down. He got
up.
Il guess I'll be going now" he
said.
oh, no you won't" Desk Ser
geant George Bucklin told him.
Lairmore pleaded guilty in police
court Thursday morning to drunk
enneSs, and was sentenced to 10
days in Jail in lieu of a $40 fine.

I'D. R. Lashes
Senator George
As Reactionary
Doesn't Speak My
Language He
Declares

GAINESVILLE, Ga. Aug.
II. (UP)-President Roose-
velt today assailed Senator
Walter +. George as a reac-
tionary who did not speak
his language and bluntly renewed
his demand that the voters defeat
George at the September Ia pri-
maries. The president urged the
nomination of Lawrence Camp. U.
S. district attorney and ardent
New Dealer. ~
The chief executive lashed out
in an ungloved attack and true
to earlier predictions gave George
"the works" He also took in former
Governor Eugene Talmadge in a
sharp offensive as a "person who
would contribute little to practical
government"
Mr.. Roosevelt virtually read SEN
ator George out of the Democratic
party but declared what I am
about to say will be no news to my
old friend Senator Walter George,
because 1 have recently had per-
sonal correspondence with him and,
as a result of it, he fully knows my
views"

Russia Wins

Border Truce
Japan Agrees to Even
Representation at
Peace Farley

MOSCOW, Aug. II. (UP)
One month of undeclared
war between Russia and
Japan on the Siberia-Man-
chukuo-Korea frontier ended
today in an agreement which offer
ed hope that the diplomats of Mos
COW and Tokyo might now settle
peaceably a dispute that for years
had threatened to involve their
countries in a conflict of world
Importance.
Under the agreement a mixed
commission consisting of two Rus
slams and two Japanese -Manchu-
kuans, is to be established to de-
markate a frontier which has been
matter for angry dispute ever
since Japan seized Manchuria from
China in 1881.
In years of discussion of a border
commission, Japan had insisted
that Japan and Manchukuo should
have one representative each for
each representative of Russia.

Girdler appeared before the COM
mittee for defense of his policies
during the period when executives
of Little Steel rallied to his leader
ship in resisting last years union
ization drives of the Committee for
Industrial Organization.
In dramatic appearance before
the committee which for a month
has been investigating labor strife
and turmoil that accompanied the
1897 strike in Little Steel Girdler
testified the only reason for the
strike against Republic was that
it refused to sign contract with
the CIO.
Even the National Labor Rela-
tions Board has held that our re-
fuSal to sign written contract did
not constitute an unfair labor prac-
tice," he said
Girdler said his company and
all American industry seeks a for
mula for industrial peace but "it
is now clear to every thinking per-
son that the whole New Deal pro-
gram theoretically designed to pro-
duce peace in industry has in fact
plunged the country into a period
OF unprecedented industrial tur-
moil and conflict"
He declared that:

sided and should be amended.

September to act.

Just Hard Headed

A rather tall lanky and not very
understanding fellow stepped up to
the grating in the county recorder S
office and announced in southern
drawl that he wanted to file a
paper. Mrs. Evalyn B. Westerfield
looked at the paper, and told him
it was not necessary to file it. He
insisted that it was. For half an
hour they argued. Finally he de-
cided stern measures must be TAX

Thousands of California oldsters
awaited today for September 3,
latest day for the state supreme
court to rule whether the ham

tive.
The plan,. hottest issue in the

sons so years old and over.
While the sidewalk outside was
