countries, left by plane for Lisbon
today en- route to the United States
to which he had been called home

London newspapers, which have

The Daily Mail quoted a friend
of Mr.. Cudahy as saying "Mr.
Cudahy knows he is to be censured

Farley Named Head
OF Coca-CoIa Firms
Export Corporation
New Post Won't Interfere
With Impending Deal for
Yankees, Friends Soy
By the Associated Press.

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. To-
James A. Farley, retiring Postmaster
General and chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, today
was appointed chairman of the
Coca-Cola Export Corp.
Robert w. Woodruff, chairman of
the Coca-Cola company's board Of
directors, announced Mr.. Farley had
accepted a position ''in charge of
all export business and particularly
of the expansion of our business In
foreign countries"
Mr.. Farley's resignation as Demo-
cratic chairman becomes effective
August II and he leaves the cabinet
August 81.
Mr.. Woodruff indicated the retir-
ing Postmaster General would re-
port here after q vacation and said
his headquarters would be in Will
mington.
A company spokesman said Mr..
Farley has been acquainted for
years" with Mr. Woodruff and that
his appointment climaxes discussion
between the two "over q considerable
period"
It is up to Mr.. Farley the spokes-
man added, to say whether he will
disclose his salary and when he will
start his new job.
Reports have been current that
the retiring Democratic leader, who
bowed out of politics after his partys
recent national convention, would
head syndicate to purchase the
New York Yankees.
A Coca Cola Co. official said he
did not believe Mr.. Farley's position
as head foreign salesman for the
soft drink would interfere with any
plans he might have about the base
ball team. He added, however, that
Mr.. Farley must make this decision
himself.
In New York a close friend of Mr..
Farley said the new position in no
way would interfere with negotia-
tions to buy the baseball property.
He added, in fact, that the transac-
tion probably would be completed
next week.
"He has a substantial agreement
with the Yankees and there are
only q few matters to be ironed out" !"
the friend said. There is nothing
serious in the way Of completing
the purchase"
Mr.. Farley and a group of uni
Identified associates have been re-
ported to have offered approx
nately $4,ooo,o0o for the club.
Not Interested in Yankees.
A. A. Acklin, president of the
Coca-Cola company, said in Atlanta
the corporation has no interest in
Mr.. Farley's reported plans to ac-
quire control Of the Yankees.
Announcement of Mr.. Farley's new
connection with Coca-Co Export
Corp. brought speculation in sport
circles that this connection might
lead to possible investment by Coca
Cola or some of its larger stockhold-
ers in the baseball venture. The
company now owns the Atlanta club
of the Southern Association.
1--WE have no interest whatsoever
in Mr.. Farley's baseball plans" Mr..
Acklin said. 'His connection is with
the Coca Cola Export Corp, and he
Is to be purely in charge of export
operations"

the Democratic National Commit
tee and close friend of Mr.. Farley,

Mr.. Farley has refused comment
on all questions concerning the deal.

creation of the impression that war

question" he asserted, because any
one who knows anything about the
army and navy knows that the med
ical services of the army and navy
are as much a part of the military
arm as is the infantry or are the
sailors or marines"
at seems to me-" Clark continued,
"that such a project as this, such a
release as this, is simply to take the
greatest mother of ALL put pair of
khaki pants on her, pair of boots
and spur, give her a gun and sword
and use her as recruiting officer
in an undeclared war to which an
overwhelming majority of the Ameri-
can people are opposed unless they
can be beguiled by such efforts as
this.

people will receive that news without

WAR threat TO
FARMERS CITED,

WASHINGTON OPP - Elections
this November will be of tremendous
importance to American agriculture,

importance of what happens abroad

this country does about it's relation
to the rest of the world, Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace told
the Iowa democratic convention May

when the present war comes to an
end, our farmers are almost certain
to have problem more difficult than
anything they have faced yet" he said
England and France are now using
up their dollar exchange for amuni-
tions and airplanes.
after the war they will find it i'm
possible to lay hands on enough dol
lars to buy the quantities of American
farm products they were accustomed
to buy before this war began.
"Unless the American people indi-
cate a very great interest in working
together with other nations of the
world in reducing trade barriers and
freely moving interna-
tional currencies, it is obvious that
American agriculture will have before
it an even greater need of readjust-
ment to a reduced world demand than
it had following the first world war"

Agriculture's division of farm popula-
ton and rural welfare. told the senate
civil liberties committee May s as it
continued hearings on basic causes of
migration.
The income of the farm family is
lower in agriculture than in any other
major economic enterprise, he noted
Five hundred thousand farms are To-
Gated on lands so poor that it is inn
possible for families to make a living
from farming, he said.
Approximately 100000 persons live
on 1851, 667 farms receiving less than
$500 a year for family living expenses.
Taylor declared.
Conrad Taeuber. agricultural econ
omist, described the trend of farm
population to the committee.
By 1880, he said, rs million persons
were living in state other than the
state of their birth, driven away from
their homes by drouth and continued
chronological advances in farming.
"Unless opportunities for urban en-
ployment increases very greatly the
population on the farms will continue
to increase for migration from farms
to cities since 1929 has generally been
less than the excess of births over

WASHINGTON-(F P)-"The Amer
lean Red Cross has been transformed
into a recruiting agency for an un
declared war;" Sen. Bennett C. Clark
3D., MOI charged in a speech on the
senate floor May 9.
Clark called the attention of the
senate to an announcement by the
Red Cross calling for the enlistment
of persons to serve as medical tech
nologists' in the event "of national
emergency"
An important qualification was that
the technologists be willing to serve
in the medical department of the army
or navy if and when their services
are required in national emergency"
The male technologists would auto
matically become eligible to become
army civilian employees.
The announcement declared that the
Red Cross was undertaking this en-
listment Eat the request of the surgeon
general of the army and as an expan-
sion of it's peacetime service for the
military forces"
The recruiting drive is being carried
on through virtually all private asso-
Citations and societies of technologists.
It is said to be the biggest campaign
of its kind ever launched by the Red
Cross.
The M-day plans of the Red Cross
will not suffer for lack Of money, it
was pointed out. Available is an
emergency fund of $4,O00,000 which
would be used for immediate expenses
while officials are sure that an addi-
tional $100,0O0,000 could be raised
through a high pressure drive.

$1S6, 100000 for the army, navy and
marine corps and for $100,000,O00 for
the president to spend
Curiousity was expressed as to the
uses to which the $200,000,000 to be
given the president were to be put,
suspicion being voiced that the sum
was for direct use on behalf of Great
Britain and France.
st is my belief" the president
stated, that a large part of the re-
quested appropriations of $100,000,000
and the requested authorization of
800, 100000 to the president will be
used principally for the increase of
production of airplanes, antiaircraft
guns, and the training of additional
personnel for these weapons This
would be in addition to the direct esti-
mates for these purposes in the other
| items requested"
Four primary purposes were listed
by the president in asking the addi-
tional money. They were:
First, to procure the essential
equipment of all kinds for a larger
and thoroughly roundabout army.
Second, to replace or modernize all
old army and navy equipment with the
latest type equipment.
Third, to increase production fa-
cilities for everything needed for the
army and for national defense. We
require the ability to turn out quickly
infinitely greater supplies"
CA fourth purpose listed in the pre-
pared text of the presidents speech
but omitted by him in delivering the
message to congress was ito speed
up to a 24-hour basis all existing army
and navy contracts and all new con-
tracts to be awarded.")
The president declared that the i'm
problem was to superimpose
upon the present production capacity
of American airplane plants a greatly
additional production capac-
ity.
81 should like to see this nation
geared up to the ability to turn out
at least $4,000 planes year. Further
more, believe that this nation should |
plan at this time program that would !
provide us with $4,000 military and |
naval planes" he asserted.
At the same time the president |
asked congress mot to take any action
which would be in any way hamper |
or delay the delivery of American
made planes to foreign nations which |
have ordered them or seek to pur-
chase more planes"
THAT" the president added, from |
the point of view of our own national |
defense, would be extremely short
sighted"
"Our IDEAL" the president said "our
objective is still peace-peace at home
and peace abroad Nevertheless, we
stand ready not only to spend millions
Tor defense but to give our service
and even our lives for the mainte-
nance of our American liberties.
"Our security is not a matter of
alone. The arm that Yields
hem must be strong, the eye that
guides them clear, the will that d.
'ects them indomitable.
"These are the characteristics of a
rec people, a people devoted to the
they themselves have
,uilt, people willing to defend way
# life that is precious to them all,
people who put their faith in God"

HOLT LICKED BY
in WEST
VA. BALL0TING

WASHINGTON FP)- The wrath
of organized labor was visited upon
another of it's betrayers May 10 as
Sen. Rush d. Holt 3D., West Va.)
was defeated for denomination in the
West Virginia primaries.
In the same primaries Sen. NJ M.
Nicely 3D., West Va.), a staunch friend
of labor, was an easy first in the race
for the gubernatorial nomination, beat
ing R. Carl Andrews, state chairman
Of the democratic party, by a wide
margin.
News of the West Virginia results,
although relegated to the background
by war news, was received here as the
most impressive demonstration this
year of the political power of organ
lied labor.
Coupled with the denomination of
Rep. Thomas D'Alesandro 3D., Md by
a wide margin, the results startled
congressman.
D'Alesandro, in 1888, slipped
by a narrow margin With
the active support of Labor's Non
Partisan League this year, his renomi-
nation was achieved with votes to
spare.
Holt, who in 1885 had to wait a
month until he became old enough to
take his seat in the senate, was
elected as a new dealer and as a
friend of labor Within recent years,
however he became a bitter enemy
of the president and viciously attacked
CLIO Pres. John L. Lewis.
When the election returns were
counted Holt was third in a four man
race while Harley M. Kilgore, crimi-
nal court judge and running mate of
Neely's, was first with 104,916 votes
to the second mans 97,729 votes and
Hollis 70,602 votes.
In other primaries this year organ
lied labor accounted for the failure
of Sen. Edw. r. Burke IN, Neb.),
bitter foe of the national labor rela-
tions act, to achieve denomination and
