PREACHER CLAIMS PARTIES’
LIQUOR PLANKS IDENTICAL
SHREVEPORT, La., July 4.—Dr.
M. E. Dodd, vice president of the
Southern Baptist Convention and :
pastor of the First Baptist church
of Shreveport, told his congregation
Sunday night that the prohibition
planks of the democratic and republi-
can parties are not acceptable to 4,-
000,000 Southern Baptists. He /Criti-
cized John D. Rockefeller Jr. because
of his recent letter favoring repeal of
the Eightenth Amendment. The let-
ter likewise is not acceptable to
Southern Baptists, the pastor de-
clared.
“For whom shall we vote?” he
-asked. “There is obviously no choice
today between the two parties on the
prohibition question. Furthermore,
based upon the Southern Baptist Con-
vention’s action which condemns alike
resubmission and repeal, there is
-^nothing acceptable to choose in either
majority party.
“Our only alternative would be to
support a strict prohibition party as
against both parties. If we vote
either the democratic or republican
ticket, we must find other reason for
making our choice between them than
the prohibition question.”
Dr. Dodd termed all talk about re-
submission as “simply a part of the
strategy of the wets seeking repeal.”
He described the democratic and
republican planks as identical in
character and objective and “differ {
only in the method proposed to reach
the common objective of repeal.”

PV the cigarette trade when first we
raised the question—"Do you inhale?”
But silence is golden only when it’s
unwise to speak. Let others explain
their striking avoidance of this subject.
Lucky Strike makes its position crystal
clear ... for certainly, inhaling is most
important to every smoker.
For everybody inhales—whether they
realize it or not...every smoker breathes
in some part of the smoke he or she
draws out of a cigarette.
Do you inhale? Lucky Strike "makes

because certain impurities concealed in
even the finest, mildest tobacco are
removed by Luckies’ famous purifying
process. Luckies created that process.
Only Luckies have it!

RAIL DETECTIVE FOUND
GUILTY IN VET’S DEATH

AVIATORS FOUND
MARION, N. C., July 2.—W. A.
Banks, Asheville railway detective,
was convicted of manslaughter by a
jury today in connection with the
fatal wounding here recently of Louis
Chiapetta, a homeward-bound bonus
marcher from Houston, Texas.
Sentence was not passed immediate-
ly, but the conviction carries a max-
imum of 20 years imprisonment.
Chiapetta was shot as he was sleep-
ing in a railway box car here. Seven
of his companions testified Banks .en-
tered the car, kicked and abused
them, and shot without provocation.
'The officer contended he was at-
tacked by a “bunch of thugs,” and
that his pistol was discharged acci-
dentally when he sought to defend
himself.
SYDNEY, Australia, July 5.—Cap-
tain Hans Bertram, German aviator,
and his mechanic, -whose r»ame is
Clalsman, were found alive Sunday
after having been missing since May
17.
On that day they took off in Bert-
ram’s plane from Kupang island on a
flight to Darwin. They did not reach
there and were given up for lost
when a search revealed no trace of
them.
Two weeks ago natives turned over
to a missionary a handkerchief and a
cigar*ette case with Bertram’s initials.
They said they had found them about
100 miles north of Wyndham where
they also had seen the footprints of is against.

two men going* south.
This spurred the search anew and
the abandoned plane was found with
a message that the flyers had gone
into the bush. It was feared that
they/had been slain by hostile natives,
but the search1 continued.
Meanwhile a tribe of natives had
found the men and supplied them
with food before sending for help.
The native messenger brought an
expedition to the place Monday. The
rescuers found Bertram and his com-
panion nearly starved and in rags.
The pilot told them they had been
forced down by a bad storm with only
a meager supply of provisions.
They tried to paddle from the island
where they had landed to the main-
land in a float from their plane, but
they were too weak and thereafter
they were able to spend only half an
hour a day searching for help.
“I entered this race primarily to
establish a state currency system
that would free us from the control
of the arbitrary and infamous federal
resei’ve system. I have spoken in
about 150 counties, making an aver-
age of more than four speeches a
day during the past six weeks, but I
have only been able to touch the
state in high spots and to speak to
a small per cent of the people. They
are deeply interested in my platform.
I need more time to present it to
them.

ces of the democrats to carry the unanimous in refusing to allow Beck s
presidential and vice presidential bal-
loting to a conclusion. Some may
call that playing safe, but Garner re-
gards it as playing with his cards
close to his chest. “1 have always
polled 5,000 or 6,000 republican
votes,” he puts it. “Those fellows
want me to withdraw so they can
send somebody up here.” He will
discuss the matter with them late in
November.

FORT WORTH, July 5.—Leader-
ship of an independent democratic
party will be undertaken by George
W. Armstrong of Fort Worth, he an-
nounced Monday in withdrawing from
the race for governor in the demo-
cratic primary. He will run in No-
vember against the democratic gu-
bernatorial nominee, Armstrong de-
clared.
His statement follows:
“I withdraw as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for the office

(Dallas News)
The country is going to have to do
some posturing to get itself adjusted
for vice president. He has been re-
turned from the Fifteenth District to
Congress so often and so easily that
he has come almost tp the British
attatude of “standing” for office. Ac-
cordingly, he went to bed when he
heard that they were balloting for
democratic nomination for president
with his own name high on the list of
possibilities. When informed that he
was the nominee for vice president
he remarked that he was still speak-
er'of the house with plenty to do in
that post. And he will run again
for congressman in the old Fifteenth.
In brief, the Garner idea seems to
be that if the country wants a better
vice president than Charlie Curtis it
knows where to find him. As for
himself he will go right on in the
JOILET, 111., July 4.—This business
recession isn’t worrying Anton and
John Grohar, brothers, who sell gro-
ceries for a living.
And neither are the delinquent bills
of their customers. They’re using
them to build a new store.
The lease on their building is soon
to expire, and Anton proposed that
they build a store of their own.
“But,” said John, “how can we do
it? We have been carrying 60 per
cent of the customers and we’re short
of cash.”
“It’s easy,” replied Anton, “We’ll
let the customers do it.”
And so they said to their custom-
ers :
“You men are workers. We have
the material. You build the store.
We’ll give you jobs and you’ll be al-
lowed 50 cents an hour against your
bills.”
Fifty men sprang- to action. The
building is going up in a hurry, and
everybody’s happy.
plea of insanity, but required twelve
ballots to agree on the penalty.
The defense claimed that Beck, 20-
year-old Wills Point youth and for-
mer student at the University of
Texas, had become insane from be-
ing struck by a baseball in 1929.
Several physicians testified for oi
against the insanity claim.
No plans for appealing the case
had been announced. Beck was con-
victed and sentenced to death at a
previous trial in Waco, but the case
was reversed because of an error in
selecting the*jury.
Jones, an automobile salesman, was
killed by a hitch-hiker. In a state-
ment made before Jones after the
latter gave him a l’ide from Lancas-
ter to Waco and bought his lunch.
He said he robbed Jones of $2.

BUCHAREST, July 4.—“Hanging
is one of the most humane forms of
inflicting the death penalty. It take?
only a few seconds. Thereafter the
victim loses consciousness, which for
him is the end.”
This is the sensation experienced
by two daring young scientists, mem
bers of the medical faculty of Buch-
arest University, who narrowly es-
caped death rvlien they had them
selves hanged—just, to discover how
it feels to be executed.
The two scholars, whose name?
were withheld to. avoid trouble with
the police, had two gallows erected ir
the anatomical institute and jumped
from chairs after nooses had been
fastened tightly around their necks
Previously they had given strict or-
ders to attendants not to cut them
down until the usual convulsions had
ceased and their bodies had become
motionless.
