Grid for Red
Bill Battle


Foes and supporters of a house
approved bill to bar the Com
munist party from the Michigan
ballot today brushed up their
arguments for a full-dress public
hearing in the senate chambers
next Tuesday night.
The senate elections commit
tee sought yesterday to limit the
public discussion to 80 minutes,
but after two speakers had con-
sumed 40 minutes and protested
vigorously at being shut off, the
committee agreed to q further
hearing.
The initial attack on the
measure was launched by the
Rev. Owen A. Knox, Detroit,
president of the civil rights fed
Grafton.
Knox declared there was an
inherent inconsistency" in ac-
cusing the Communist party of
advocating violence to over
throw the government and then
forbidding 1t to use legal and
peaceful means Of expressing its
political and economc views.
Knox quoted from a letter he
attributed to Chief Justic e
Charles Evans Hughes of the
United States which asserted it
was a SERIOUS mistake" to pen
alize masses of people united
for political action" rather than
prosecuting individuals proven
to be conspiring for the over
throw of the government.
Fred M. Fine, Detroit, secre-
tary of the young Communist
league of Michigan, said the bill
inaccurately described the Com
munist party as committed to
violence and revolution. He de-
clared the American Communist
movement was divorced from
the Communist internationale
and subscribed to democratic
methods.
This bill is directed at estab-
fishing a one-party war dictator
ship in the United States today"
Fine declared.
The senate elections commit
tee later released a number of
bills to revise election pro-
cedures. Included were those to:
Provide separate presidential
ballots.
Require precinct electio IN
boards and county clerks to pro-
vide q speedy unofficial tabula-
ton of election results.
Permit the state board of can
vassers to check petitions for
constitutional amendments, init
iative and referendum for fraud
and to prosecute upon such hnd-
ings.
The committee killed bills to
elect regents of the University of
Michigan on q non-partisan bal
lot and to permit incumbents in
public office to designate their
incumbency on the ballot when
seeking reelection.

Apparently Hitler did not
measure up to the ideal which
Hess first attached to him. Only
that could have caused him to
leave his wife and child to any
Nazi revenge.

his health.

From his early life in Egypt
he gained a sort of Kismet -
fatalistic belief. This almost or
iental part of his life contribut-
ed q great deal too to his meta
physical leanings.

palm that his hand indicated he

Al State Hospital

WHITFIELD, Dec. 4.-Dr. c. M.
Speck, Superintendent of Mississippi
State Hospital, in his November re-
port to trustees emphasized elaborate
plans now under way for the happi-
ness of patients at Christmas time.
He said:
"We hope to make Christmas for
each patient as happy as possible,
suggestive Of Christmas at home. A
special dinner will be served to all
patients. Several business firms have
generously helped to make the dinner
complete. A tree will be on every
ward, from which will be distributed
to patients presents sent by friends
and loved ones. We hope no patient
will be forgotten.
aBut we have so many, many pa
sients here who have no home, no
one outside to call a friend. Their
happiness is on eager nce we
sruyt that some unknown Santa Claus
will help to answer their prayers.
Practical, nonperishable gifts are sug-
rested rather than food, difficult to
preserve, suggestive of overeating.

might bring to some forgotten par
emf. here. We have orphans, lost now
in mental darkness-but all the time
hoping!"

Reserve Bank
st. Louis District
Shows Steady
Improvement

According to the November issue
of the Monthly Review of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of St. Louis ag-
ricul.ural and business conditions for
this district are as follows:
Agriculture-Eighth District crop
prospects improved about 2 per cent
in October. Higher yields are estimat-
ed for most crops despite the heavy
rainfall occurring in many sections of
this area Wet weather, however, has
retarded progress of fall farm rou-
tine. Cash income from farm mar
ketings and Government payments
for Eight District states in Septem-
Der was 38 per cent above August
and 81 per cent greater than in Oc-
tober, 1910. Greatest increases in
income came from marketings of cot
ton, ~cottonseed, tobacco and hogs.
General Business-Continued high
levels of industry and trade were
maintained in the Eighth District
throughout October and early Nov
ember. Apprehension ove priorities
unemployment continued to exist, al
though actual volume of non-agri-
cultural employment reached an all
time high level in September. In
dustrial production in the United
States continued to increase during
October. The Federal Reserve
Boards index, adjusted for seasonal
variation, rose to 164 per cent Of
the 1935-1939 average, as compared
with 161 in September and 16O in
August. Production dropped farther

Fruits stimulate appetite and assist
digestion by increasing flow of saliva

fruits furnish a supply of "protec-

Farmers Vote On
Cotton Marketing
Program Dec. Is
n. L. Nichols Urges
Holmes Formers
To Cost Vote

The present war crisis makes it es'
vecially important that every eligible
cotton producer vote in the cottor
marketing referendum to be hello
Saturday, December 10, Mr.. H. l.
Nichols, AAA chairman said today.
"As a result of the war, most o.
eur world markets are cut off, ant
farmers must protect themselves from
Ire bad effects of this situation b!
managing we'll their surplus supple:
to fit actual needs. To do this they
must make effective use of all fea'
lures of the Farm Program, which
includes marketing quotas and loans,'
Mr. Nichols said.
He pointed out that American cot
ton exports have fallen from 6 mil
lion to about 1 million bales, and
that such a drastic reduction in ex
ports would normally result in bank
rupt prices, but marketing quotas
and the loan, together with other
phases of the Farm Program, have
helped hold prices near parity.
"Without the Farm Program. it is
evident to all cotton producers that
1rices this year would be near an all
time low. The greatest hope of con-
tinued good prices lies in adjusting
acreage to meet demands. Therefore,
we must look to the Farm Program
to hold prices near parity levels,
Mr.. Nichols said, and added: "The
loan allows farmers to withhold their
cotton should prices become salts
factory"
In speaking of the effectiveness
of the loan in boosting prices, MIR.
Nichols reminded producers that this
year prices reached the highest level
SINCE 1929. The average loan rate
this year was Ia cents a pound.
Mr.. Nichols further reminded far
uSers that if quotas are rejected in
the coming referendum, the law pro-
sides that there can be no Govern
ment loans on cotton from the date
Of the announcement of the official
results until August l, 1943.
