Debate Begins
In his radio address last week the
PRESIDENT asked his listeners to de-
mand action of their Congressman on
his domestic program Initial response
to this appeal was reported as not
heavy, possibly because not many leg
islators were readable over their
holiday.
But it set off the debate which pos
sibly will be carried on in Congress
for months. Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.
Ohio) accused the President OF turn
ing away from free enterprise and
into the arms of the left wing. Other
Republican Spokesman said Mr.. Tru-
man was making futile attempt to
hold the support of both the right and
left wing branches of his party. Sen.
Wherry of Nebraska, described as a
liberal Republican, said Tafts state

Kentucky Official Attacked
After FiIino Suit on KIon

FRANKFORT, KY. Aug. 10 Pr
Eldne S. Dummit, States attorney
general. disclosed receipt of letters
attacking Negroes, Catholics and
Jews-as well as his own motives
as he announced himself ready yes
terday to press his suit to outlaw
the Ku KluX Klan in Kentucky.
Mr.. Dummit said he had received
so or more letters-most of which
were anonymous-since he filed
suit in Circuit Court here july %
to have the Klan's corporate rights
in Kentucky revoked. While most
of the letters were from Kentucky
Mr.. Dummit said. some were from
other States, including Indiana, CAL
ffornia and Utah.
Some of the letters praised his ac-
ton, Mr. Dummit said, but many
contained bitterly-worde attacks.
In his court petition, Mr.. Dummit
denounced the Klan as "lawless,
seditious organization with Nazi
tendencies"
The Republican attorney general
asked for revocation of the Klan's
Kentucky charter on the grounds
the hooded order had violated State
law by not filing annual statements
with the secretary of State. He said
yesterday he was prepared to prose-
cute his suit when Circuit Court

that an inspection July 10 had given
the plant "a clean bill Of health
but after a report of four persons
who became Ill after eating pie,
he said 1t was unjustly assumed that
this pie was a Connecticut Pie Co.
product, and as a result a second
inspection was held July IA.
The inspection, made by Mr. Car
roll, was the first time the bakery
had ever been inspected on a Sum-
day, according to Mr.. Behrend. The
sanitation squad had not yet report
ed to work. and the bakery was
messy" because operations for the
day had just been completed, he
said.
The following day, an inspector
from the Pure Food and Drugs Ad-
ministration examined the plant.
Mr.. Behrend continued. He said
the inspector found an adhesive
bandage on the floor of the men S
toilet, and concluded that one of
the company employees was being
permitted to handle food with an
injured finger.
To refute this theory, the pie
company president produced a Negro

an adhesive bandage from his fin
ger during the morning. but was not

Head Of Pie Company
Declares Health Board
Orders Have Been Met

The much disputed Connecticut
Pie Co. case, involving Health De-
partment charges of alleged insani-
tary conditions at one of the citys
largest bakeries, was taken under
advisement yesterday afternoon by
the District License Revocation
Board.
AS hearings concluded after three
days of testimony, Rudolph B
Behrend, president of the baking
concern, declared "the company has
been living in constant fear" since
last November 81. when the bakery
was closed by a Federal Pure Food
and Drug Administration injunc-
ton.
Between that date and January
IA, when 1t was permitted to re-
open, the company spent nearly
$4,000 to modernize and improve
sanitary facilities at the plant, ac-
cording to Mr.. Behrend.
Special Department Added.
He said the company has also
added separate sanitation depart
ment at an annual cost estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000. now con-
slsting of six men, whose sole duty
is to clean every part of the bakery
each night.
Mr. Behrend said he attributed
the frequent adverse reports his
company has recently received to a
spirit of competition between the
Federal Pure Food and Drug Ad-
ministration and the local Health
Department. He charged this riv-
alrv had originated when the Fed
eral agency allegedly criticized
Health Department officials for fail
ure to correct conditions existing
at the plant last fall, when the
injunction was issued.
There is nothing that the Health
Department asks that is within rea-
son and can be done that the COM
pany does not do he asserted.
Mr.. Behrend complained, how
ever, that Health Department In
spectors Richard J. Carroll and
Kenneth Roberts frequently made
contradictory recommendations

They gave an order" he said,
and within an hour they have
changed it."
He told how the company had in

new cooking vat, and partition

mendations.

K|an Revocation Suits
will Attack Order
As DisIoyaI 10 U. 5.
BY the Assoeioted Pres,

TRENTON. N. j.. Aug 10.-An
attack on the Ku Klux Klan as dis
loyal to the United States will be
made in suits to revoke charters of
the organization, Assistant Attorney
General Dan Duke of Georgia said
yesterday.
Mr.. Duke. who has instituted pro-
ceedings against the Klan in Fulton
County tAtlantal Superior Court,
received from Attorney General
Walter D. Van Ripper of New Jersey
evidence that Klan officials attended
a meeting of the German American
Bund prior to World War II and
said:
1T is logical to assume that if
the Klan was in sympathy with the
German-American Bund. the Khan
itself had disloyal intentions"
Mr.. Duke and Mr.. Van Ripper said
they had arranged to exchange evil
dence in Georgia and New Jersey
suits aimed at revocation of Klan
charters The Georgia action, which
the Klan is opposing, is scheduled
for trial before a jury in September.
A suit filed by Mr.. Van Ripper last
week to invalidate the New Jersey
charter has not been answered by
the Klan.
The joint meeting of the Bund
and Klan was held August l8, 1910,
at Camp Nordland. Sussex County.
Soon thereafter James Colescott,
imperial wizard of the xxx. ordered
the expulsion Of two state officers
and, according to Mr.. Duke, issued
an edict forbidding the wearing of
masks and regalia in public. Mr..
Duke described this as window
dressing for public consumption"

Conviction Reversed

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. as The
Virginia Supreme Court Of appeals
yesterday reversed the conviction Of
Mrs. Grace NJ. Smith, sentenced TO
20 years by q Rockingham County
Circuit Court Jury on q murder
charge In the death Of her hlis-
band, on the grounds that she
should not stand convicted on sup
position" The case was remanded
TO the Rockingham Court.
The court contended the Conn
rnonwea1th failed to prove that Mrs.
Smith was the criminal agency re-
sponsibie for the death Of Frank
Smith, an ex-soldier. on the night
of February 20. 1s45. Evidence ct
the trial Of Mrs. Smith was that
she and her husband had quar-
relied over alleged intinacies with
other men while Mr.. Smith was
away In the Army.
The trial Of Mrs. Smith was one
Of Shenandoah Valleys most Spec
tacs1lar cases in recent years. She
was indicted jointly with Ralph II.
Garner, but the two were tried
separately and each received : 20
year sentence.
No Signs Of Struggle.
Police found Mr.. Smiths body
partly suspended by q rope from q
rafter Of the Smiths home in Harri-
soriburg. B1oodstains spotted the
house, but there was no evidence Of
q struggle.
The Commonwealth conceded that
hrs. Smith alone could not have
murdered her husband, carried him
to the basement and lifted his heavy
body to the stool where It was found,
because she weighed only us pounds
and her husband weighed 206
pounds.

On the same day the c. |. 0. Steel
Workers Organizing Committee called

which had $1,000, 100000 in defense or
ders, and the Ford Motor Company IS
Lincoln plant shut down because OF a

by strike at the Midland Steel Prod
ucts Corporation.
The War Department estimated that
twenty strikes were tying up defense
contracts and that million man-days
of work had been lost in defense pro-
duction since January 1.
The only part Of this not strictly
statistical is the observation that as the
emergency of war approached nearer

more and more excuses for production
crippling strikes. Uncurbed then, labor's
leadership grew steadily more active

war was won.

Questions

There are all kinds of questions
that plague a man in this life.
Will the market go up or down? Will
the Government do something about
the situation or won't it? Should
a man wear rubbers and carrv an
umbrella or will it turn out to be
sunny day after all? Why don't
the neighbors keep their children
quiet on a Sunday morning so a
man can catch up on his sleep?
These are all normal and expect
ed affairs. The thing that puzzles
is when 10 year old Sally or Junior
suddenly decide to ask a few point
ed questions. Daddy, is it really
true when you married Mother
that you were afraid she wouldn't
be able to cook the way Grandma
does? And Daddy, if you were as
smart in school as you say you
were, why do you make so much
fuss about the income tax?"
Daddy, if wars cause so much

hand with fish. ....,-.
But he couldn't help us much
when it came to figuring out how
to make saleable the many small
fish that are caught in North Car
|olina waters.
Captain DAVIS had just been hired
to do more or less of the menial
chores around the place. He'd
never even heard of the word ich.

Yet, it was Captain Davis who
figured out, not only the scaling
machine, but dozens of other short
cuts in the handling of these North
Carolina products. He figured out
our filleting methods that we used
very successfully as long as we
could get the fish.
He figured out a way to put
fish fillets in small packages that
looked very much like butter car
tons. Then he worked out the
method of freezing these so the
housewife could buy fish, ready
for the frying pan, in the best Of
sanitary conditions.
All of which just goes to show,
me at least, that our boys along

ters can do as much-even more

Tax Relief
anyway! !

By hook and crook and probably as
sistance from the bank, March Is
passed. But the fact is not to be dis
missed so lightly.
Income tax day is a nightmare at
best, and this year was little worse
than many another because the people
of North Carolina had hoped before the
last session of the legislature that they
would be given some relief by the state
in view of the fact that their federal
tax bills, coupled with the special levies
on consumer goods, were so heavy.
Now that there is to be another leg
islative session, the state is to be urged
to find some means for easing the peo-
ple's tax burden.
Perhaps the revenues from income
taxes cannot be safely reduced. But
there is the sales tax. Governor Brough-
ton took the sales tax off the family
dinner table. Can't Governor Cherry
do as much for the Tar Heel popula-
ton?

Russia And Peace

A recent dispatch from Moscow de-
clares the Russia people and govern
ment want peace and "amicable rela-
tions' with other nations. The dispatch
even announces the people and the gov
ernment require" peace and friendship.
This position is explained by the state.
ment that the war left few home circles
unbroken and the land despoiled.
Thoughts of war, therefore, are far
from the composite mind of the nation.
True, Russia suffered terribly in
manpower and production. Save for
help from her Allies Russia would have
gone down in defeat to the German
hordes Hitler sent into the country in
the vain hope Of capturing the Cau-
casus and passing on into India where
it was believed the Japanese would ar
rive from the other direction and so
weave web of steel across the girth
of the democratic world.
IL may be true, too, that Russia
wants and "requires". peace. Certainly
its people do. But the government has
given little proof of such desire. From
the day that Russian troops began to
win over the Germans right down to
this day when the government is out
to establish domination over Iran, the
Moscow regime has lost no opportunity
to snow her allies that she is in high
~ oelngerent state of mind. Russia "re-
qulres" peace but it must be in Rus
sla's pattern. And the Russian pattern

The South is coming into its own
on the list of Life Masters. Another
Southerner, Mrs. J. E. Folline of
Richmond, recently became Life
Master No. so. Today's hand shows
her style of play very well.
Mrs. Folline was unwilling to
jeopardize the hand by trying to
guess which finesse to take, She
won the opening lead with the ten
of clubs, cashed the ace of spades,
and led the nine, being careful to
keep the four in her hand. She
knew now that she had another
entry into dummy.
Next she cashed a few more
rounds of clubs, then played the
five of spades and put on the
eight-spot from her hand. West
had to win this trick, and was
forced to lead into one of Mrs.
Folline's ace-queen combinations.
The fourth spade in dummy was
the entry to cash the balance of
the clubs.
