Talk as much as you like about the
Democratic party being the party Of our
fathers but this fact remains: As long
~ the South continues to be in the bag
solidiy for the Democrats we will get
no recognition or consideration from
that party except what we demand.
Remember this, too. that the whole
economic system and welfare of tn
South is tied up with our political sys-
tenn. In Mississippi we have a one-crop
and q o~ne-party system. We don't want
to grow anything but cotton and we con-
slider an outcast any person who votes
anything other than Democratic.
1t is in the power of the Congress of
the United States to legislate any group
or section or class of people into bank
ruptcy. The Congress can do this by
passing laws or tariffs that affect trans
portation, growing, selling or marketing
any product or manufactured goods.
Everyone in the South should be
thoroughly aware of this. For years we
have struggled under = system of un-
lair freight rates . rates that were
set up by powerful political interests to
protect the east and its heavy manu-
featuring interests. The east wants to
get, and has been getting, since the
Civil War, our raw materials and manu-
featuring them into finished products
and shipping them back to US. This
cheats the Southern people of their
birthright Of jobs and industry and
lowers our whole standard of living. The
east has been able to do this because
Of its powerful political influence.
Not until the South has a real Re-
publican party to be reckoned with
politically will we ever get a full
measure of consideration in our Con-
gress and our political parties. 1t is
entirely possible that if we had the right
kind of representation from the South
in Congress that we could achieve our
rights as a section and as a people. But
W. have not had that kind of representa-
tion in Congress for many years.
The New Deal has been in power

French Scientist Invented
Nozi's Fiendish Robot Bomb

Claude's unsuccessful series
of experiments depleted his for
tune. His earlier successful in
vention of an incandescent
lamp based on the use of kryp-
ton gas to give filaments a
much brighter light enabled
him to stage a comeback. He
made a new fortune by invent
ing the neon tube.
Claude also tried his hand at
politics, combining his scientif-
ic knowledge with a campaign
for election TO the French Cham
Der of Deputies. Vote for sci
ence and vote for prosperity"
was his slogan in 1923. He gath
cred votes by doing scientific
tricks.
During World War I, Claude
devoted his energies 10 bombs,
gases and chemicals with which
Allied armies were able to meet
the enemy.

reputed to be the inventor of the

he used in Cuba in electrical ex-
periments. Loss of the tube

Is Pros Lishtest

CHICAGO. Oct. 12-(R)-The
Chicago Bears, who down
through the years generally have
been considered the Behemoths
of National Football League
gridS, probably will have a
mighty mite in their hail all
afternoon Sunday.
He's John Patrick (Jack) Nc
Carthy, a 1872 pound rookie who
has taken over Ne quarterback
ing job for the Chicago Cardin-

Jack came into the play-for-

Coach Walt Keisling, whose idea
Of a backfield does not, general

what was happening when the

ace swung into action.
Keisling was woefully short
handed in the quarterbacking
department and Jack made a
good underStudy for Coley Nc
Donough, who had been picked
for the regular signal-caller and
passer.
Last week McDonough's draft
board sent him greetings and
Mccarthy became the first
string quarterback-in his first
year in pro football, considered
an achievemnt for a fellow who
is smallest in the league and
one of the smallest backs in the

LANSING, Oct. 12-P-The
state safety commission an
nounced today the police of Ia
large Michigan cities and the
state police have agreed upon
uniform enforcement of pedes-
trian traffic laws, as prelude to
the opening of a long-range

ering violations particularly
dangerous to pedestrians.
The pedestrian campaign will
stress four violations at inter
