The speaker pointed out the four
typical notes Of despair in liter

despair OF Omar Khyyam, drink

the Book of Ecclesiastes which
does not deny any OF the pleasures
Of life, such as dancing; but raises
the question, What is the good OF
IL, does IL not end IN vanity?" The
third type is the cry of Pascal, the
despair OF everything finite. To
him the only possible JOY is in
God The fourth and final one is
the despair OF old theories ard is
found in the Book of Job. II says
that none OF the others are tit TO

TWIN CITY HERALD

The papers filed this week disclosed
that Neal R. Andrews, head of Satan's
Toe, Inc, real estate concern, is suing
Griffith, Oglesby and seven others for
refund of money paid Griffith and
other defendants in a land deal.
Andrews charged that in 1888 Grit
fifth owned thirty-two acres on the
Point, where he had made several pic
lures, and that Oglesby and others ac-
quired an interest in the property.
riffith and Oglesby then, according to
the charges, forced Andrews and resi-
dents of the Point into buying more
land "by threatening to sell otherwise
to undesirable people, to colored peo-
ple."
In 1887 Andrews, because of the al
legged threat, purchased what he
thought was all of the Griffith land,
but last spring Griffith and Oglesby
tried to sell him a plot they had re-
tained he charged. Unsuccessful, they
then had dummy titleholder sell to. a

CONGRESS FACES LYNCHING,
RELIEF PROFITEER ISSUES

Washington, Sept, (CNA)- Con-
gress likely will be called on to settle
momentous questions of internal as
well as International policy at the spec
ial session starting September Fl.
The special session was called by
President Roosevelt to consider revi-
sion of the Neutrality Act, but it ap-
peared certain this week that the ses-
sion will also consider several explo-
sive domestic issues, including relief,
WPA, profiteering and anti-lynching
legislation. A move for additional re-
lief, because of war time increases in
the prices of commodities, and to "cor-
rest the injustices" of the Woodrum
Bill which effected drastic cuts on
WPA, will be made by Representative
Jerry Voorhis, the California New
Dealer, indicated this week.
The President will have strong popu-
lar support in his fight on the isolation
lists who last session blocked the Ad-
ministration's efforts to revise the Neu-
trality Act to permit cash and carry"
arrangement for the sale of arms to
belligerent nations. Recent polls con-
Quoted by the Gallup Survey show all
overwhelming majority of the Ameri-
can people in favor of revising the
Act, which, it is contended, plays into
the hands of the fascist agressor ma
tons by negating the superior sea
power of the European democracies.
Revision, however, will be hotly op-
posed by Senator Borah and other iso-
lationists. Borah has indicated that he
will filibuster against the President S
proposals. Father Coughlin, too, has
called upon his followers to flood Con-
gress with kilograms and letters de-
manding that the Act be retained in its
present form. Opposition to revision
also has been expressed by Fritz Kuhn
fuerher of the Nazi German-Americar
Bund in this country.

ALLIANCE STARTS DRIVE FOR
FOOD STAMPS

New York, Sept, (CNA)-A drive
designated to obtain for New York's
needy population the benefits of the
free food stamps distributed by the De-
partment of Agriculture and the Fed
eral Surplus Commodities Corporation
was started this week by the Workers
Alliance Of this city.
The stamps, first used in Rochester,
N. Y, then in a number of midwest
ern cities, have been reported of great
help to persons on relief or employed
on WPA. In Rochester they were said
to have greatly aided the Negro COM
munity, a considerable number OF
whom were unemployed.
In announcing the drive, leaders of
the Alliance said they will immediate
ly circulate petitions among grocers
and consumers in support of the cam
paign. The petitions will be addressed
to President Roosevelt, Milo Perkins,
head of the Federal Surplus Commod-
titles Division and to Mayor LaGuardia
The petition will make three re-
quests, it was stated: 1t will urge the
government to institute System o

FILM SCORED AS
sLUR ON UNION SOLDIERS

Pittsburgh, (CNA)-A drice to ban
the showing Of the movie "Gone with
the Wind" based on the anti-Negro
novel of the same name, was started
this week by the Daughters of Union
Veterans attending the seventy-third
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
The Daughters declared in a resolu-
ton that production of the movie was
"an outrageous attempt to palliate the
treason of the South and snlirch the
reputation of General T. Sherman"
"The war orders of the Confederate
States prove conclusively the raiding
and burning of the Southern homes
and supplies were done by the Confed
crates themselves, the resolution de-
clared
"Were it not that young people will
see the picture it could be ignored, but
is unfair that our boys and girls should
be given such distorted view of what
actually took place"
The Daughters, boasting member
ship of $4,000, voted to have each Of
their state departments confer with 10
cal censors and "endeavor to stop the
showing of the picture"
