Hoffman Dares N.L.R.B. C LAKE E. HOFFMAN, Republi can congressman from Michi gan, has challenged the National La bor Relations board in the matter of constitutional guaranties of free dom of speech and of the press. He sent to the board a letter recalling that the body recently declared the circulation of a house speech by Hoffman constituted an unfair labor practice under the Wagner act. In the speech Hoffman declared that known communists were active in the Committee for Industrial Organ ization and denounced C. I. O sit- down strikes as communistic meth ods. “This speech,” Hoffman’s letter said, “was republished, with illus trations, by the Constitutional Edu cational league of New Haven, Conn. “I am now offering, and intend to continue to offer, to furnish tc any and all interested persons, in cluding employees, employers, or others, copies of this address for circulation at the actual cost of printing, and to recommend that employees might well read this ad dress before joining the C. I. O.” Commenting on the letter. Repre sentative Hoffman said that the board’s ruling would preclude the distribution of newspapers contain ing news items or editorials criti cal of any organization or of activi ties of the labor board. The American Federation of La bor charged in its official organ, the American Federationist, that mal administration of the Wagner act is threatening American democracy. The publication printed an editorial bluntly accusing the National La bor Relations board of promoting the rival Committee for Industrial Organization “which seeks to set up a dual labor movement despite all the social and economic waste which dualism involves. “Every agency of the government that gives status to the C. I. O gives the same recognition,” it continued. “Surely this is not freedom for workers to choose their own unions and representatives for collective bargaining, but union development under government patronage.” * Texas Picks a Yankee '"TEXAS Democrats in their pri- mary selected a Yankee to be the next governor of the state. W. Lee O’Daniel, born in Ohio and raised on a Kansas farm, received a clear majority over 11 other candidates for the nomination which is equivalent to election. O’Daniel is a flour jobber. He cam paigned with a hill billy band and a platform that in cluded the Ten Com mandments and the Golden Rule, ridi cule of professional politicians, prom ise of a business administration and more liberal pensions for the aged. More important nationally was the fact that Rep. Maury Maverick, leader of a considerable bloc in con gress, was defeated for renomina tion by Paul Kilday, a San Antonio attorney. Maverick is an enthusi astic New Dealer. Kilday says he will not be a rubber stamp. Two other administration backers were defeated for renomination. They were Representatives W. D. MacFarlane and Morgan Sanders. * Third Term Boost rjOV. FRANK MURPHY of Mich- igan told Democratic leaders of the state that Michigan must keep its mind open on the possibility of a third term for President Roosevelt. Said he: “The welfare of the nation and continued success of the New Deal must coma first. If the suc Jesse Jones W. Lee O’Daniel cess of the New Deal depends on President Roosevelt running for a third term, then we must be pre pared for that.” Murphy’s statement is only an other indication that the third term movement is growing rapidly. Vari ous groups have petitioned the Pres ident to run again in 1940, and Re publican National Chairman Ham ilton says WPA Administrator Har ry Hopkins launched a third term boom the other day when he assert ed that 90 per cent of those receiv ing relief would vote for Mr. Roose velt again. Of course Mr. Roosevelt says nothing about all this, but political observers seem to agree that if the 1940 convention does not appear ready to get together on a candi date who would and could carry on the New Deal, the President might well consider it necessary for him to accept another nomination. Breaking a precedent wouldn’t wor ry him. -V* To Expand Business Loans CHAIRMAN JESSE JONES of the Reconstruction Finance corpo ration announced a new policy for forcing the expansion of business loans, by which competitor banks will be pitted against each other. When a loan applicant ap proved by the RFC is turned down by his local bank an RFC agent will con tact the bank and try to persuade it to participate in the loan. If it refuses the RFC agent then will contact a competitor bank. In its most optimistic monthly business survey of the year, the fed eral reserve board said industrial production is on the increase and available data indicate that in July the index will show a considerable rise. The business summary particu larly pointed out healthy business signs, noting that activitity in many industries was on the increase con- traseasonally. * Hull Prods Cardenas CECRETARY OF STATE HULL, ^ out of patience with Mexico, sent to President Cardenas a sharp note protesting Mexico’s failure to pay for American owned farm lands that the Mexican government has seized. Mr. Hull asked that the matter be submitted to arbitration. The sec retary has in this the full approval of President Roosevelt, for the ad ministration feels that Cardenas is endangering the “Good Neighbor” relations between the two countries. Sen. Key Pittman of the senate foreign relations committee also backs up Mr. Hull, asserting that if Mexico refuses to arbitrate she will be subject to economic penal ties. “Mexico,” he said, “then would forfeit all the financial and other voluntary aid we have given her through our spirit of friendship and desire for peace, prosperity, and up building of that country.” * Spanish Rebels Gain CPANISH insurgents started a ^ drive in Estramadura region in the southwest as a feint to prevent reinforcement of the loyalist eastern front, and found the loyalist de fenses were astonishingly weak. So they went ahead in a whirlwind at tack that gave them possession of 23 important towns and villages. The Barcelona loyalist govern ment announced acceptance of the international plan to purge Spain of its foreign forces. Insurgent General Franco was expected to fol low suit shortly and accept the plan framed by Great Britain and spon sored by the 26-nation noninterven tion committee. Atty. Gen. Cummings Disaster in Bogota '"Thirty-seven persons were ^ killed and 150 injured when a Colombian army plane crashed into a grandstand at Bogota and burst into flames. The stand was packed with spectators gathered to witness an aviation review and in the throng were the president and president elect of Colombia and many foreign diplomats. These narrowly escaped death. The plane was heading an acrobatic parade, and after its wings struck the sides of the grand stand it nose-dived into the shrieking mass of men, women and children. Bomb Kills 39 Arabs '"Thirty-nine Arabs were killed - 1 - and many injured by a bomb that was exploded in the crowded market place in Haifa, Palestine. The incident was the most costly in the turbulent strife between Jews and Arabs which kas been sweeping Palestine anew since July 5. Clashes between the Arabs and the Jews fol lowed immediately and panic spread through the city. Many American tourists who had just ar rived were caught in the uproar. * Pick-a-Back Flies Sea \/f ERCURY, the top part of the novel British pick-a-back sea plane, separated from Maia, the low er and heavier part, about a thou sand feet above Foynes, Ireland, and then sped across the North At lantic, making the crossing at mod erate speed and without mishap. Passing over Botwood, Newfound land, the pilot flew oi« 850 miles fur ther to Montreal, alighting on the St. Lawrence. After refueling the plane completed its flight at New York. The flying time from Foynes to Montreal was 20 hours and 20 min utes. * Film Companies Sued T JNDERTAKING to break up what the government alleges is a great moving picture monopoly, At torney General Cummings started a civil anti-trust suit against 8 major mo tion picture produc ing companies, 25 subsidiary or associ ated companies and 132 officers or direc tors, in an effort to divorce production, distribution and ex hibition phases of the cinema industry. The suit was filed in the federal dis trict court for the southern district of New York. Fed eral Judge Henry W. Goddard signed an order for the service of subpoenas on all the defendants, di recting that each appear before the court in New York within 20 days after being served. The government is seeking an equity decree, Thurman W. Arnold, assistant attorney general, an nounced, requiring the companies to divest themselves of ownerships of theaters or of production and dis tribution facilities. The suit named Paramount Pic tures, Inc., Loew’s Inc., Irving Trust company, New York, as trustee in bankruptcy for Radio-Keith-Orphe- um corporation; Warner Brothers Pictures, Inc., Twentieth Century- Fox Film corporation; Columbia Pictures corporation; Universal cor poration; and United Artists cor poration. Mr. Arnold said that allegedly monopolistic power exerted by the defendants has a “tendency to drive independent theaters out of busi ness or to compel them to sell to the producer-owned theater chains on the latter’s terms.” Mr. Arnold alleged that independ ent theaters are subject to numer ous “oppressive” discriminations, such as block booking, high rentals and the imposition of preferred playing times. Charles P. Howard Dies pH ARLES P. HOWARD, president of the International Typograph ical union and secretary of the C. I. O., died in his sleep at Colorado Springs, Colo. He was fifty-eight years old. Howard was defeated for re-election in a referendum last May by C. M. Baker of San Francisco and would have gone out of office September 1. Owen Wister, author of “The Vir ginian” and other novels, died at his summer home in North King ston, R. I. * First ’Death Clause* Case A CTING under the utility holding company act, the federal secu rities commission began its first ac tion to simplify a major utility hold ing company system. Chairman William O. Douglas an nounced that a hearing would be held in Washington August 8 to de termine what steps the $300,000,000 Utilities Power & Light corporation should take to limit operations “to a single integrated public utility sys tem.” The commission will consider whether the company should be re quired to rid itself of interest in “any or all” of its 45 subsidiaries. Douglas said the commission’s ac tion was being taken under section 11B of the holding company act— the so-called “death sentence” sec tion. Utilities Power & Light, with headquarters in Chicago, has sub sidiaries in mid-western and north eastern states. The company is be ing reorganized under section 77-B of the bankruptcy act. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON •\JEW YORK.—The British lion ’ has been taking kicks from all comers lately, but it stiffened up and began looking a lot more her- _ aldic when the an- rarhament cient bill of rights Show* Spunk seemed to be in- /n Army Row fri "? ed - “ was no rubber-stamp par liament which reacted angrily to the army’s summary action against young Duncan Sandys, conservative member, who had revealed undue knowledge of air defense secrets. The government was embarrassed and backed up considerably. The swift parliamentary kick- back was an instance of the latent staying power of the British demo cratic tradition, as the representa tive body rattled the bones of its late and great libertarians in telling the executive where it got off. The row overflows into impor tant political by-ways, as the tall, handsome, loose - geared Mr. Sandys is both a son-in-law and political ally of Winston Churchill who is pot-shotting the government just now in a po litical no-man’s land. There is a threat of conservative defection to the side of the still am bitious and powerful Mr. Churchill, with labor and liberal recruits, and, according to close observers of Brit ish politics, some important new alignments may result. Mr. Sandys, thirty years old, is still just a rookie in this league, c , . and, like Mrs. banays It O’Leary’s cow Freshman may not have in- in Politics tended to start anything in partic ular. He is, however, an energetic and capable young politician and there are those who say he may be another Anthony Eden in a few years. Running for parliament in 1935, he was assailed by the come ly young Mrs. John Bailey who was leading the fight for the opposi tion. She is a daughter of Winston Churchill. He won the election in a rock- and-sock battle and then, in the chivalrous Eton and Oxford tra dition whichf is his background, he married Mrs. Bailey. She, incidentally, is a granddaughter of the Jennie Jerome of New York who became Mrs. Ran dolph Churchill and the mother of Winston Churchill. Jennie Jerome’s father was one of the fighting editors of the New York Times in the 1860s. Mr. Sandys, studious and some what ministerial, was with the dip lomatic service until 1933. He is a second lieutenant in the London anti-aircraft force, a son of the late Capt. George Sandys. /''i REECE never had any luck in trying to get the Elgin marbles back from England. Judging from this precedent, American aviators W-^Lt pi„-- have a lon 6 fi 2 ht Wright none ahead in trying t0 Sought by bring back from U. S. Flyers i h e Kensington Science museum in London the Wright brothers’ air plane of the historical Kitty Hawk crow-hop of December 17, 1903. Such will be the endeavor of the newly formed association of men with wings. They will appeal to Orville Wright, who let the plane go to Eng land in TJ2S, after the Smithsonian institution had tagged the Samuel P. Langley plane as “the first ma chine capable of flight carrying a man.” There is as yet no word from Mr. Wright, who lives and works somewhat aloofly in his office and laboratory at Dayr.on, Ohio. That twelve-second flight put him in the history books, brought him a string of honorary degrees and gathered more medals than his plane could lift, but all this was marred hy the misunderstanding about who flew first. He had been trained in science at Earlham college when he and his brother made their plane in a bicycle shop. He continued his studies in aerodynamics and his lat er contribution was the stabilizing system which has made modern avi ation possible. Wilbur Wright died of typhoid fever in 1912. • • • C TIFF-NECKED, hard-boiled Gen- ^ eral Alexander von Falkenhaus- en, German sparring partner and coach for the Chinese generals until /-*», recently, stirs ex- LAina Will citement in Shang- Win, Says hai by predicting Strategist Chinese victory.

Star Dust ★ Shirley Likes Cops ★ Shorts for Colonel ★ Lloyd Antiquities By Virginia Vale I T IS reported that Norma Shearer, having won the cov eted role of “Scarlett O’Hara” in “Gone With the Wind,” now wants the story changed. It’s said that she feels that the heroine’s character, in the last half of the book, is unsympa thetic. To do this would be to ruin the character and spoil the story, of course—and the result would be that thousands of motion picture fans who liked the book and have taken real interest in the casting of the picture would be furious. * During Shirley Temple’s recent visit in New York her mother actu ally dared leave her for a little while. Shirley was at the office of a national magazine, and her moth er was in a smart department store, doing a bit of shopping. SHIRLEY TEMPLE She said that she almost never left Shirley, but that she felt that it was all right to do so just then— “The policemen assigned to her are such nice men,” said she, “and Shirley is so fond of them.” if —*— Just in case you’ve wondered what has happened to Colonel Stoopnagle, formerly of “Stoop- nagle and Bud,” he’s making movies. They are shorts, and he’s doing it near his Connecticut home, for Educational. The finished prod uct will be issued as “Colonel Stoop- nagle’s Cavalcade of Stuff.” Dorothy Lamour spent part of her vacation with her husband, Herbie Kay, at the resort near Houston, Texas, where he was appearing with his orchestra. She appeared with the orchestra one evening and sang two numbers; she also an nounced that she’d like to be back, singing with the band, but that he wouldn’t give her her old job again. And all she wanted was $50 a week and expenses. She also visited Galveston — her career began there six years ago, when she was “Miss New Orleans” in a bathing beauty contest.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Q Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for August 7 RUTH: ADVENTUROUS FAITH LESSON TEXT—Ruth 1:MS. GOLDEN TEXT—Thy people shaU be my people, and thy God my God.—Ruth 1:1®. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Girl Named Ruth. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Story of Ruth. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Ruth's Wise Choice. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— An Adventarous Faith. Out of the dark fastnesses of an underground dungeon into the brightness and warmth of God’s sun shine—such is the transition we make when we turn from the moral and spiritual failures of Samson to con sider the lovely story of Ruth. She lived in the midst of the travails and the sorrows of life, in fact we find her at the beginning of the book which bears her name, a wid ow who has lost all that the world would hold dear. Yet sh;, because of her purity of life and devotion to God rises higher and higher, while the one of whom we spoke last week, starting with every advan tage, slipped lower and lower be cause of his sin. Ruth was the great-grandmother of King David, and thus this Gen tile woman became one of the an cestors of Jesus. (See Ruth 4:22 with Luke 3:22.) Many folk are greatly concerned about their ances try—one could wish that more were concerned about living such lives and developing such characters as will make them good ancestors. Teachers and classes will do well to read and study the entire book of Ruth—only about three pages long in most Bibles—and give at tention to the full story of her life, especially the picture of the kins man-redeemer, to be later fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ. We must confine our comments largely to the printed portion which reveals Ruth first as a loyal and thoughtful daughter-in-law, then as one whose love was not to be denied by sorrow or circumstance, and finally an one so bound to her mother-in-law in unity of spirit that she became one with her and her people. I. Commendable Loyalty (w. 6- 10). Tragic misfortune had visited Naomi, who with her husband and two sons had gone from Bethle hem to Moab in a time of famine. Not only had her husband died but also her two sons, who had mar ried Gentile women, leaving three widows in one family to mourn to gether. Naomi craved the fellow ship of her own people in her hour of trial and arose to return to her own land. Her departure brought out in the two daughters-in-law the expression of kindness and loyalty which should exist in every family, but which is all too often lacking. Her own testimony concerning these girls of Moab is that they had dealt “kindly” with her and with the dead. That word speaks volumes. There is so little genuine kindness in the world. Both Orpah and Ruth went with her on the way—pro testing their loyal purpose to go with her all the way. Thus far the two sisters were not differen tiated—but the next incident re veals Ruth as the one who had an H. Undeniable Love (w. 11-14). No one could for a moment con demn Orpah for yielding to her mother-in-law’s entreaty that she return to her own people. She af fectionately kisses Naomi and in tears turns away. “But Ruth clave unto her.” Such love cannot be denied. It is tiie most precious possession that a man can have, apart from his fellowship with God. The love of a devoted father or mother, of a noble helpmate, or of a little laddie or lassie, these are the things that really make life worth while, that stand out as an oasis in the desert of life, as a light in the darkness. But Ruth takes one more step. Her kindness and loyalty, her un swerving love lead on to a confes sion of her faith in the true God, and the declaration of an III. Inseparable Unity (w. 15-18). Literature knows no more beauti ful gem than verses 16 and 17. It was the Great Commoner, Bryan; who said, “We cannot hope to con tribute to literature a sentence so exquisite and thrilling as that into which Ruth poured the full meas ure of a noble heart, but we can imitate her devotion.” The story is told of a fine young Englishman who left his betrothed sweetheart to go to California dur ing the great gold rush. He was going to make a fortune and then send for her. He sent her his first gold nugget. But alas, there were none to follow and soon he became not only poverty stricken, but ilL In noble sacrifice he decided to re lease her from her promise, and wrote to tell her so. She (and one could almost believe her name was Ruth) took the treasured nugget, had it made into a ring engraved as a gift from her to him, with the additional words “Ruth 1:16, 17.” In due time it reached the young man with its tender and inspiring message—“Intreat me not to leave thee,” and the assurance of her devotion until death. May this dizzy and bemuddled world have many more characters like Ruth. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT SILOS A DOLLAR SAVED in feed cost is a dollar added to your profit.
