5 SUBPENAED

IN UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITY PROBE

Patriots to Be Heard First, Says Chairman; Hearings Begin Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U.P.).— Chairman Martin Dfes (D. Tex.) of the House Committee investigating un-American activities, announced today that more than 25 persons

have been subpenaed to testify at |g

its inquiry beginning tomorrow. Names of witnesses were withheld “for obvious reasons,” Rep. Dies said, “but there are some impor-

: tant figures among: them and we expect startling disclosures.”

The Committee met in executive session today and approved a statement of policy announcing the Committee’s intention of investigating with “no preconceived views.” The statement promised any individual or organization attacked

~ during the hearings an opportunity

to refute the charges. Simultaneously, the Navy Department began a check on all aliens employed in its' huge shipbuilding program and President Roosevelt signed an executive order permitting the Dies Committee to inspect income, excess profits, and capital stock tax returns.

Precautions Redoubled

Similar executive orders have been issued to other congressional committees, but considerable significance was attached to the Navy Department’s order inasmuch as spy pre-

cautions have been redoubled in recent months. Commanding Naval officers have been ordered to forward the names of all aliens on their payrolls, their addresses, rates of pay and reason for employment by Nov. 1. The order does not apply to enlisted personnel, Rep. Dies’ committee was granted $25,000 by the last Congress and ordered to report next January to the next Congress. Rep. Dies said

that the first week or 10 days would

be devoted to representatives of patriotic, civic and labor organizations “to lay the groundwork for the fireworks to come.”

INDIANA’S SOLDIERS ARE HEAVY EATERS

Times Special

FT. KNOX, Ky., Aug. 11-—-It takes 12 whole steers, a ton of fresh fish, 900 pies and 1600 two-pound loaves of bread a day to feed Indiana’s contingent of the 38th Division, National Guard, during its encampment here. Other items needed for the daily menu prepared by Col. Forrest Spencer, Indianapolis, include 700 dozen fresh eggs, 400 dozen fresh doughnuts, two tons of potatoes, 600 gallons of vegetables and 1100 quarts of milk and cream. The Third Battalion, 151st Infantry, commanded by Maj. Earl Weimer, Terre Haute, and the First Battalion, 152d Infantry, commanded by Maj. Ferdinand Huffman, Evansville, held battalion parades last night.

ROPER SEES BETTER BUSINESS BY FALL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U. P.). —Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper said today that business is getting better and indications point to accelerations of recovery in the fall. Mr. Roper, back from a month's vacation abroad, said improved business morale, in evidence a month ago, has been “translated into definite business progress.” “Gradual improvement is appearing all along the line, and indications point to further momentum through the fall. It is neither expected nor desired that the upward trend will reach boom proportions, but that the advances will be on a safe and sound foundation.

PAULETTE PLANNING SKI SLIDE IN RENO

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 11 (U. P.).—

Paulette Goddard is going to Reno

tomorrow. She wanted it clearly understood though that she was

‘going to see about building a ski

slide, not to get a divorce from Charlie Chaplin. She will take along an architect, Wallace Neff, who has the plans drawn for the ski jump. She will remain in Reno five days, not the six weeks required to establish a legal residence for obtaining a divorce, she said.

OLAF IS EXPECTED TO TOUR COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U. P). —Norwegians here today said they understood that Crown Prince Olaf and Princess Martha of Norway will visit the United States next spring for a two-month tour. The Prince is expected to attend the opening of the Norwegian pavilion at the New York World’s Fair.

ARRESTED FOR 40TH TIME NEW YORK, Aug. 11 (U. P.).— Harry Gold, 55, was under arrest today for the 40th time. He is wanted as a fugitive from Washing-

ton, D. C., where he is charged with |

robbery.

F.D.R. Text at Athens, Ga.

ATHENS, Ga., Aug. 11 (U. P.).—The text of President Roosevelt's address at the University of Georgia fol-

lows: It is with particular pride in and increased devotion to this state that I become today an alumnus of the University of Georgia, During many | years I have had important contacts with your trustees and faculty and I can therefore appreciate the excellent service which you are rendering to the cause of education not only in Georgia, but in the nation. Many years have gone by since I first came to Warm Springs and ot to know and to love the State and its people. I wonder if you, who live here all the time, can realize as well as I, who have been coming here once or twice a year, the amaz-

here in a short decade and a half— and especially in the past five years. If you see a person morning, noon and night you do not’ note the changes of growth or health of that friend as readily as if you see him only at intervals; and that is why I feel that I can speak with perspective. In my eurlier years here I saw a South in the larger sense forgotten in the midst of an unhealthy national speculation—a boom era which thought in terms of paper profits instead of human lives. And for those days what has the South to show today? A few fortunes perhaps. But most of the profits went North.

‘THEN CAME DEPRESSION’

Then came the tragic years of the depression. Closed banks in almost every community, ruinous crop prices, idle mills, no money for schools or roads—a picture of despair.

Yet, through all those years, the South was building a new school of though—a group principally recruited from younger men and women who understood that the economy of the South was vitally and inexorably linked with that of the nation, and that the national good was dependent equally on the improvement of the welfare of the South. They began asking searching questions—Why is our pay—in other words our earning capacity— so low? Why are our roads so bad? Why is our sanitation and medical care so neglected? Why are our teachers so inadequately paid? Why are our local school buildings and equipment so antiquated? ‘I do not mince words because, first of all, I have a right—a na-tion-wide ‘right, a state right and withal a sympathetic and understanding right to speak them, snd secondly, because you as well as I know them to be true. It may not be politic but it is good American idealism to recognize, to state boldly, that in 1932 the conditions of human life in Georgia and in other states of the Lower South were as a whole at the bottom- of the national scale. At the same time let us rejoice and take pride in the undoubted fact | that in these past six years the South has made greater economic and social progress up the scale than at any other period in her long history. It is my objective and yours to maintain that march and to accelerate its pace.

‘LAW NOT ENOUGH’

On the side of education a long experience teaches us that improvement of educational facilities is inevitably bound up with economic conditions. Years ago I was told by a distinguished citizen of Georgia that public school education was well provided for because there was a law—or perhaps it was in the State Constitution itself—providing that every child should have a full school year—and that attendance for each school year through grade school was compulsory. But I soon discovered school after school in the rural districts—and most of them are rural districts—where the school was open only four months or five months a year—or was too small to hold all the children—or couldn't employ enough teachers— or where children, whose parents wanted them to work, could stay away from school with complete immunity. Apparently a law or a clause in the constitution was not enough. What is law without enforcement? Apparently the divine method, ‘let there be light, and there was light’ did not work as mere man’s dictum. ‘Then I began to analyze: Was it due to lack of interest? No, it was due to lack of money. Every man and woman I talked with deplored the wretched school conditions, wanted better schools, better trained and better paid teachers, wanted more teachers, wanted a full school year. But—the answer was always the same—we cannot get more money from taxes. And why not? The answer is

simple. The taxable values were not there. The tax rates were not too low but the actual going values

when taxes. on those values were collected the sum received could not pay for adequate teachers or equipment. Public education was therefore dependent on public wealth. Public wealth was too low to support good schools. That analysis of mine—made even before I was elected Governor of New York, led my mind to many other questions: Why were land values and therefore taxable values ‘in Georgia so low? With that question came a study of land use, of worn out land, of cheaper fertilizer, of forestation, of erosion, of crop diversification, of crop prices, of marketing, of freight rates. And all of these things bore directly on the problem of better schools, “Why were people geiting such low pay for a day's work? That led to a study of purchasing power, of decent wages, of the cost of living, of taxable income, of sound banking, of small merchants. And these things, too, bore directly on the problem of better schools.

‘ECONOMICS HOLDS KEY’

In other words, social conditions —schools and hospitals and clothing and housing and food—were inti- |. mately dependent on economic conditions—higher wages, higher farm income and more profits for small businessmen. So you will see that my thoughts for the South are no new thing. Long before I had any idea of reentering public life I was planning for better life for the people of Georgia. In later years I have had some opportunity to practice what I have long preached. Obviously the Federal Government cannot carry the load alone. In education, for example, Wash‘ington has greatly assisted by using the labor of people who really need help to build schoolhouses, to give student aid and to pay many teachers. And Washington will help by

Swain Saved From Chair by Technicality

MICHIGAN CITY, Aug. 11 (U. P.).—James Reed Swain, 18-year-old Evansville Negro, was saved from the electric chair at the State Prison early today by a writ of habeas corpus on‘grounds his commitment papers were not correct. Swain was to have died in the electric chair shortly after midnight for the murder of Christ Bredenkamp, 70, Evansville grocer, during an attempted holdup. James Alexander, Swain’s accomplice, was given life imprisonment.

R..L. Bailey, Swain’s attorney at

‘Indianapolis, discovered the error

in the commitment papers. The papers placed Swain in custody of former warden Lewis E. Kunkel “and deputies” and ordered them to carry out the execution.

POSTPONES EVICTION OF INDIAN’S WIDOW

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11 (U. P). —Marshal Robert P. Clark an-

nounced today that “pressing business” called him out of the city and he would be delayed in enforcing a court order to evict Mrs. Anna Laura Barnett, widow of a millionaire Creek Indian, from her home. Her pantry stocked with canned goods, Mrs. Barnett remained in her luxurious mansion and defied U. S. Marshals to “come and get me.” U. 8. Judge William James 30 days ago signed an eviction order requested by the Interior Department. Federal courts had ruled invalid Mrs. Barnett’s marriage to the late Jackson Barnett, illiterate Oklahoma Indian who became wealthy from oil discovered on his land.

CLEAR M’CORMICK ESTATE WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U. P.). —The Board of Tax Appeals today cleared the estate of the late IL. Hamilton McCormick, icago, of an asserted Federal estate tax deficiency of $247,200. The Government was seeking to tax a trust McCormick set up for the henefit of his wife, valued at $1,118,611. The board found that there was no evidence that contemplation of death caused the transfer.

of property were so meager that

ving some nts in aid for those giving unities yes need them the most. But Washington should not and cannot rightly subsidize public education throughout the United States. by the states and their subdivisions. Therefore, in the long run, the best way for your national Government to assist state and local educational objectives is to tackle the national aspects of economic problems—to eliminate discriminations between one part of the country and another—to raise purchasing power and thereby create wealth in those sections where it is far too low—to save the waste and the erosion of our natural resources, to encourage each section to become financially independent, to take the lead in establishing social security—and at the same time to explain to the people in every part that constant progressive action is better than following either those who want to slow up or those who promise they will hand you the moon on a silver platter a week after they are elected. At heart Georgia shows devotion to the principles of democracy. It has occasional lapses, but it really does not believe either in demagoguery or feudalism dressed up in Democratic clothes. You of the university are greatly responsible for the present and the future. Well are you doing your part. From today onward I share proudly and more fully in that part.
