JOHN DEVOSS IS CHAIRMAN . City Attorney Named Chairman For Annual Birthday Ball i John L. DeVoss, city attorney, today wired his acceptance as general chairman of the Birthday Ball for the President, to be given here | next Januray in conformance to ]similar parties to be given over the ! United States. Due to the fact that President Roosevelt’s (birthday, January 30, next year falls on Sunday it is probable that the party will be held on some other day. Mr. DeVoss’ appointment was reclommended to the national committee on the Birthday Ball for the President by Mayor A. R. Holthouse. The invitation to serve as chairman was wired Mr. DeVoss Monday. He has served on the committee of ; each of the previous parties. Norbert Holthouse was general I chairman of the first Birthday Ball | for the President in Decatur. In 1935 ! Robert Heller and Jesse Sutton actied as co-chairmen, in 1936, David B. Heller and Dorothy Young served as | co-chairman. year Edwin Kauffman was chairman. The party is held each year for the purpose of raising funds for (he assistance of those persons who are I victims of the disease, infantile parialvsis. Since .his inauguration, President Franklin D. Roosevelt has lent his birthday to the country for the purpose of combatting the disease which attacked him several years ago and which he overcame j through theraupeutic treatment at Warm Springs. Georgia. j Through the Birthday Ball for .the President, hospitals have been I erected where similar treatment i lean be given less fortunate victims . | of the disease. A portion of the funds each year ; lias been given for the investigation of the disease in the hope of finding a preventative, it is now believed that the investigators are on the verge of making and announcing a successful preventative. The local committees, in the past , have been building up a fund in this county which will be available when a cure is found. ; Out of the proceeds of the Birthday Ball for the President in Decatur, Adams county’s official party, a special wheel cilairm was brought i last year for a young girl, hopelessly crippled by the disease when she i was a baby. Her family was unable to provide a good chair for her without sacrificing food and clothing needed for the other children Wmi the new chair, the girl has been able to enjoy the sunlight and outdoor air. o I)an Death Is Taken To State Penai Farm Dan Death, of this city was taken to the penal farm at Putnamville today He was accompanied to the farm by Sheriff Dallas Brown, j Death was sentenced last week in city court.

Lewis, chairman of the committee for Industrial organiatlon, was charged by a wit- j ness in the trial of 41 defendants today for an alleged bombing consplr- ) acy. Marrion Ensor, Chicago testified In United Slates district court that when he conferred with Russel Wagner, a defendant, in Peoria, Ill.,! Wagner said “he had been hired by the progressive miners of America to kill John L. Lewis. "The i inference was that this was several ! years ago. Asked if Wagner had named anyone who paid him Ensor replied: “He said he had been paid by Claude Pearcy, former P. M. A. president. "Peacy asserted the, statement was a "Damned lie.” “Many of the witnesses seemed to be stool pigeons who have been hired to break up our organization” he said.

House Republicans will hold ' their first party caucus of this sess- ; ion after the lower house recesses today. In the senate, members of both ; parties canvassed the situation to ‘ see if repeal of the undivided pro-j 31 a tax could be speeded. Other developments on the business front included: | 1.

' The advance guard received sup- ' i plies from airplanes which flew 1 (hem from Shanghai. There was no official reports | that Wusih had been captured. 1 , Japanese authorities claimed that i ’, its fall would mean the collapse of the Birong Chinese Wusih-Kiang-I yin defense lines, the lasi sizeable [ ' obstacle confronting the Japanese: 1 ; before Nanking. 1 Reports from Nanking said that the Chinese were making prepara- ’ (tions for a last stand defense of ' the evacuated capital. Thousands iof Chinese troops were pouring into the city and taking over ihe homes of residents who had fled. Japanese authorities indicated that Generalissimo Chiang Kaii Shek had not replied to a “person- ', al message" advising him to sur- ' I render. A Japanese plane flew 1 i over Nanking yesterday and ’! dropped the letter addressed to ' the generalissimo. The Japanese said they did not believe that .the Chinese troops “would filch a letter addressed to ; the'r commander-in-chief,’’ but ! ; they reported that no answer had | been forthcoming from Nanking. ' | The plane which delivered the i message was the first to fly over I Nanking since the government i !: officially abandoned the capital and moved its ministries to Hankow. Chungking and Changsha. United States Ambassador Nel- j son T. Johnson and other foreign j ambassadors and nationals officially abandoned Nanking today and proceeded aboard gunboats up i the Yangtze river toward Hankow, j Johnson planned to make several ! stops en route to Hankow and urge Americans between that point ] and Nanking to join him aboard 1 the gunboat Luzon. o Legion Auxiliary Membership High Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 23 —(UP) ' —The nation’s American Legion auxiliary today reported the largest advance membership in history—--266,538 for 1938 as presidents and secretaries concluded a two-day conference at National Legion headquarters.

State's Attorney Merrill Johnston and defense attorneys Martin Turner and Daniel Johnson may complete their summations by noon, which would make possible a verdict before dusk. “I’m going to demand the full penalty,’’ Johnston said. “We cannot overlook this man's voluntary confession.” The 51-year-old minister, who repudiated the confession and then accused his step-daughter of the crime, clung tenaciously to his defense story during 45 minutes of bitter cross-examination. During seven and one-half hours of direct testimony Saturday, he ] denied he killed Mrs. Kelly and said the step-daughter. Myra Hanan. 37, engineered the crime while he was unconscious in the rear seat of her automobile.

Senate Begins Study Os Farm Bill; No Report Available By Committee On Wages-Hours. END FILIBUSTER Washington, Nov. 23 — (U.R) — Congressional leaders opened their drive for enactment of President Roosevelt’s special session program today with the house rules committee still refusing to release the wage-hour bill and Ihe senate agriculture committee unaliie to submit a report on the farm bill. Obstacle! to speedy action oil the two paramount issues —farm and labor bills —handicapped the . “big push" behind the program. Nevertheless the administration moved forward with action after a week of filibustering in the senate and bickering in the house. Senate majority leader Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky., disregarded lack of a report on the crop Control bill and the senate, upon motion o£ agriculture chairman Ellison D. Smith, D., S. C., began consideration of the bill. Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D„ N Y., formally withdrew his motion to consider the anti-lynching bill in order to end seven days of filibustering and open the way for debate on the administration program. Sen. William H King, D., Utah, sharply questioned Smith on absence of a formal report which would aid senators in studying the farm bill. Smith made no direct reply as he began a detailed explanation of the measure, which will require federal expenditures in farm benefits estimated from $600,000,000 to j $750,000,000. It was understood the committee report would be available tomorrow. Smith pointed out that Ihe ob- [ jective of the farm bill was to stabilize farm income and prevent periods of scarcity. He said that the hill embodied Ihe principles sponsored by farm organisations and that hearings showed the majority of farmers wanted federal control. He said that the farmers were divided, however, over the question of voluntary and compulsory control. “The secretary of agriculture in his public statement said he preferred a ’middle-of-the-road’ program lo meet as nearly as possible the desires of farmers wanting voluntary control and those favoring compulsory control," said Smith. “A student of Ihe bill will see that we have made a strenuous effort to satisfy both groups.” “No Possibility” Washington, Nov. 23 — (U.R) — Chairman John J. O’Connor, D., N.
