A defense line running across the north of South

Democrats Challenge
Gov. Stark s Veto Of
Election Probe
Legislators Press Fight
To Keep Republican
From Taking Office
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Jan. 49,
Democratic leaders in the Missouri
Legislature, fighting to keep Re-
publican Forrest Donnell from the
Governors chair, today challenged
Gov. Lloyd c. Starks's veto of their
resolution authorizing an investiga-
ton of election returns.
Gov. Stark, a Democrat remaining
IN Office during the battle over
whether Mr.. Donnell defeated Law
renee Mcdaniel, a Democrat, shocked
the Legislature into silence yesterday
with his personally delivered veto
message.
The Democrat-controlled Assembly
had named partisan committee to
inquire into charges of fraud and
vote buying, thus preventing inaug-
uration of Mr.. Donnell. November
election returns had given the st.
Louisan victory by 3,613 votes of
more than 100000 cast. The reso-
luton also provided for expenses for
the investigators.
To Appeal to Attorney General.
Gov. Stark told the Legislature:
ST cannot approve a resolution
which provides for a partisan Setup
in this contest. The principles
of good government and fair play
dictate that the candidate receiving
the highest number of votes should
be seated and the contest proceed IN
a legal and proper manner.
Hours later, after a party caucus,
Democratic leaders said they would
appeal to Attorney General Roy NC
Kittrick, a Democrat, for an opinion
on validity of Gov. Starks veto. Mr..
McKittrick previously had said the
LEGISLATURE could appoint an IN
yestigating committee, which II
promptly did.
Auditor Won't Pay Expenses.
Senator l.. N. Searcy, Democratic
floor leader and senior member o!
the Election Committee, asserted
sthe resolution should not, under
the law. have been submitted to the
Governor. It was not his duty under
the law either to approve or veto IT,
other Democrats echoed Senator
searcy's views while Republicans
cheered Gov. Stark. The Governor
himself had anticipated such
challenge and in his message hao
cited statutes which he said gave
him veto authority.
For the time being Gov. STARK
appeared to have the situation unaer m
control. He said he would not ap-
prove any expenses for the 1nvestl-
eating Committee and Forrest Sml1h,
State auditor, said he would not pay
out any money without the Gov
ernors o. K. ,.
Bonding companies, Mr.. srsith
said, had questioned his authority
to pay committee expenses ard I'm

Nine Chevrolet trucks are used in
the work, each a heavy-duty model
on 100" wheelbase.
The entire reconditioning program
rests on broader base than mere
instruction of dealers service men.
Because the used car is now playing
and will continue to play greater
role in the overall automobile pic
ture, Chevrolet believes that the re-
conditioning of these units, to as
sure owner satisfaction, is more i'm
portant than ever before.
Chevrolet dealers have sold tot
al of more than 100000 used
cars in the past seven years, and con-
sequently have come to be recog-
nized as outstanding used car mer-
chants. This new program is in line
with the continuing research and
training that has marked the Chew
rolet used car program through the
past 37a years.

LABOR AND STRIKES

''The unjustified and unwarranted
strikes in defense industries thru
out the land shock and astound us"
w. G. Wysor, general manager of
Southern States Cooperative, de-
clared in an address Thursday morn
ing, March 20, at the joint meeting
of the Virginia Institute of Coopera-
ton and the annual convention of
the Virginia Farm Bureau at Hotel
Jefferson.
1.-THE determination on the part
of labor leaders to seize the oppor-
tunity presented by national cris-
is to indulge in profiteering feast
gives US acute concern for the future
of America, the speaker continued.
1--WE ask the President, we ask Con-
gress, we ask our fellow Americans
how long labor union leadership will
be permitted to sabotage the defense
program of this nation. Today in
this country the freedom of labor it.
self is at stake, as well as the free
dom of all of US"
In discussing the Wagner Labor
Relations act, union labor, the pre-
paredness program, and what he
termed as union labor's insistence
upon monopoly, Mr.. Wysor re-
minded his hearers that fair collec-
tive bargaining necessarily presumes
equal rights on the part of labor and
on the part of employers.
''The Wagner Labor Relations act
was presumably enacted to guaran-
tee fair collective bargaining, but
it is so weighted in favor of labor
that bargaining power is entirely
over-balanced on labor's side. The
employer, under that act, literally
mas no rights, not even the right OF
free speech.
From 1925 to 1880 inclusive,
dividend return on capital invested
in all the manufacturing corpora
lions in this country was "a pei
cent. In 1910 it was 80 per cent, a
decline of percent in the rate OF
return.
Comparing agriculture for the
same periods, farmers received in
1910 prices which were Is per cent
lower than 1925-3O in terms Of buy.
