pry SPEECH fa } Eis BID FOR NOMINATION

* Tells Winston-Salem C. of C. He Places ‘My Country’ Above ‘My Party.

WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., Jan. 25 (U. P.) —Postmaster General James A. Farley predicted that his address before the local Chamber of Commerce last night would be interpreted as a political speech.

. It was. In many quarters it was regarded today as the formal opening of Mr. Farley's campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Speaking before the annual Chamber banquet, Mr. Farley, who also is chairman of the Democratic National Committee, followed the middle-of-the-road on highly controversial subjects likely to be in‘Jected into the 1940 campaign.

Urges Understanding

If industry is to carry on, he said, there must be “genuine understanding and cordial co-operation” among employers, employees, stockholders, consumers and the Government. The topic of his address was “Industry and Agriculture at the Gates of the New Decade.” One section of his address was susceptible to an interpretation that Mr. Farley might support a third term for President Roosevelt if a grave national emergency, in his estimation, made such action appear necessary. “I would like to make it perierily clear without pretense or flag-wav-ing,” Mr. Farley said, “that I am partisan in politics and honestly devoted to the success and welfare of my party. Country Comes First

“T also want to make it clear that if at any time I am confronted with the issue of the welfare of my party on the one hand, or the welfare of my country on the other, that that issue has already been decided. “I love my country better than I Jove the Democratic Party. It is my confident hope that I will never be confronted with such an issue; but if it should come in this hour of international chaos, I owe too much to America to sacrifice my first loyalty upon the altar of party expediency or party fealty.”

GIFTS TOO LATE COLUMBIA, .S. C, Jan.” 25 (U. P.).—A letter and a package of gifts were received at the state prison for Clayton Crans. Prison officials were puzzled with what to do with the gifts. Crans was one of six prisoners electrocuted last March.

Student Knows Pigeon English

An important-looking bird skeleton arrived in Harold G. Boese’s last-day-of-semester science class at Manual High School. It came addressed to J. D.

Small, an outstanding pupil, from the “National Museum of Natural Science.” The pupil explained that the skeleton belonged to an ancient bird, of the order columbae and the family columbidae. But he and the teacher knew the skeleton belonged to a pigeon that. not so long ago inhabited the towers at Manual.

UM. W. 30 TERM BLOC IS BALKED

Leaders Decree Defeat for - Resolutions Urging Drafting of Roosevelt.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 25 (U.P). —United Mine Workers officials decreed quick defeat today for resolutions from 47 local unions demanding that President Roosevelt be drafted for a third term. The resolutions came from nine states and indicated that sharp dissent may be expected from some delegates if John L. Lewis, union president, tries to obtain a convention vote attacking Mr. Roosevelt's Administration and opposing his renomination. The resolutions had been submitted by the locals before Mr. Lewis broke openly with the New Deal. Mr. Lewis made |it plain yesterday that he was against a_ third term for Mr. Roosevelt and did not expect him to run again. Mr. Lewis gave no indication whether he expected to obtain adherence of the C. I. O. to the same political program he placed before his union, chief financier and keystone of the C. I. O. structure. Some C. I. O. leaders, notably Vice President Sidney Hillman, are reported favorable to a third term for Mr. Roosevelt, and some of the C. I. O.’s unions have adop®ed = resolutions urging that he be drafted. The union is 50 years old today, and its founding will be commemorated in an NBC Blue Network program from the convention hall at 3 p. m. (Indianapolis Time).

SCANLON RECUPERATING James E. Scanlon, agent-in-¢harge of the Indiana office of the Federal Alcohol Tax Unit here, is expected to return to Indianapolis tomorrow or Saturday. Mr. Scanlon is recov-

ering from an operation at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital at Lafayette.

CLOSE STUDY OF FINN LOAN PLAN

Foreign Relations Commit-|

tee Will Debate Further Aid By Export-Import Bank.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (U. P.).— Senator Tom Connally (D. Tex.) called for a “thorough study” by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee of a plan to increase the Export-Im-|port Bank's revolving fund by $100, 000,000 so that Finland can obtain a substantial non-military loan. An attempt to hold the increase— approved by the Senate Banking and Currency Committee yesterday —to $50,000,000 will be made by Senator Robert A. Taft (R. O.), who charged that Finland “was not a

good risk” and opposed further FE

credits to South American republics. “I don’t agree with Jesse H. Jones (Federal Loan Administrator)

that $10,000,000 already arranged for

Finland is a good commercial loan,” Mr. Taft said. “Finland is not a good

risk, but the loan is justified in that|

you have no issue except the freedom of a small country. There were rumblings among both Democrats and Republicans of trouble ahead for the bill, however, despite the Banking Committee's refusal, 11 to 6, to approve a proposal by Senator John H. Bankhead (D. Ala.) to prohibit direct or indirect loans to foreign governments. Mr. Bankhead may renew his proposal when the bill reaches the Senate floor. ; “There is a great deal of sentiment against this nation serving as a banker for any foreign government,” Mr. Bankhead said. “If we start with Finland, then we must aid Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Latin America. The end is not in sight.”

Ohio ‘Robbed’ by F. D. R. Veto, Rep. Jenkins Says

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (U. P.).— Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins (R. O.) charged today that President Roosevelt had “robbed” Ohio of $1,300,000 and pledged himself to fight “until | ; Ohio gets justice” for the money withheld from the state in 1938 by the Social Security Board. Most other members of the Ohio delegation abandoned hope for a Federal payment, estimated to amount to approximately $1,388,000, although a few hoped that the state would receive something. In October, 1938, the ‘Social Security Board withheld the Federal Government’s monthly payment to Ohio after charging the then Governor Martin L, Davey with using the state social security setup for political purposes. Normally the Federal Government matches the funds paid out by the State in the social security program. The fight to regain that payment began at the last session of Congress. Mr. Roosevelt vetoed a bill that would have authorized the payment with a sharp message charging that such action would create a precedent “that would seriously endanger the success of the entire social security program.” Late yesterday, thé ,House sustained the veto on a roll call vote.

Navy Suggests Cut in

Expansion Program WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (U. P.}.— The Navy reported today that 200 million doilars could be cut from the proposed 800-million-dollar Raval expansion bill by limiting the program to two year’s construction as suggested by Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Naval Affairs Committee. This would place the total of the proposed authorization bill at approximately 600 million dollars. As originally advanced by Mr. Vinson the program called for about. $1,300,000,000 in building, but it previously had been reduced to 800 million dollars.

LINKS PEACE, SACRIFICES WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (U. P.).— Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt told the 15th Conference on the Cause and Cure of War last night that some time in the future the American people will have to decide what sacrifices they are willing to make in

behalf of world peace.

As he looked, he said, Burns and another man crawled out. “I yelled for the men to wait a minute, and Burns waited, but the other man ran away,” Mr. Bernhardt said. Neighbors called police who arrested Burns on charges of intoxication, reckless driving, vagrancy and no driver's license. He was given first aid for cuts and bruises. Burns told police the car was owned by his brother. Meanwhile, Frances Lawrence, 29, of 2972 Forest Manor Ave. was in serious condition at, St.. Vincent's Hospital with head injuries received

LEWIS TARG FOR POT SHOT IN

‘Less Embarrassing to Me

Than You,” Hoosier Tells Auto Dealers.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Referring to him as “a certain portly

‘| gentleman,” Federal Security Ad-

ministrator Paul V. McNutt in a speech here last night took a pot shot at John L. Lewis, who the day before had branded the Hoosier a “political adventurer.” Speaking at the annual banquet of the National Automobile Dealers Association, the former Indiana Governor did not mention the C. I. O. and United Mine Workers’ chieftain by name, but told the auto men “they had a common bond.” “Three years ago a certain portly gentleman sat on you,” he said. “Yesterday he tried to sit on me. But events which have transpired in those intervening three years since he sat on you have made’ it less embarrassing for me than it was for

you.” Carried on Network Returning to his prepared text,

*|Mr. McNutt said that a constant

increase in consumer goods for the masses is the only way in which a rising standard of living can be maintained in the United States. “Business’ Stake in Security” was the title of the speech and a radio network carried it directly after Postmaster James A. Farley's talk to the Winston Salem | Chamber of Commerce. “Industry and Agriculture at the Gates of a New Decade” was the title of the Farley speech. Both are aspirants for the Democratic Presidential nomination. - Mr. McNutt cited the automobile industry as the outstanding example of what can be accomplished by free enterprise in a democracy. “If the rate of technology remains substantially what it has been in the past, a large industrial economy such as ours must depend for progress upon the balanced expansion of all of its part,” Mr. McNutt said. The motive power, and the driving force in this process must necessarily be constantly rising standard of living.

Calls Attention to Record

“Economists estimate that, during the period when we were constructing our industrial machine, the rate of increase of industrial wealth averaged about 12 per cent annually. “In the absence of the introduction of new industries, substantial in number, such a rate of progress can be maintained only if the total of mass consumers’ goods is increased year after year at a rate which approximates 12 per cent. “To. those prophets of despair who think that this is impossible, I call attention again to the amazing record of the automobile industry.” ° Government can play a part in keeping enterprise free by prevention cf monopolies and protecting wage structures and collective bargaining for industrial workers, Mr. McNutt asserted.

Calls for Co-operation

The program should not be one of regimentation but co-operation between Government and business, he said. “The recovery we already have achieved has taken hard work— eight years of it,” Mr. McNutt concluded. “We must not jeopardize the gains we have won because the domestic batle is too tiring or too long in yielding complete victory.” . “Democracy and free enterprise will perish not only from Europe but from the whole world; unless at least one country shows that these institutions can deliver the goods and are worth working and fighting for. “If we

can, unitedly,

carry serve a priceless heritage for others as well as for ourselves. It will be an historic achievement of an historic epoch.”
