FUEL SUPPLIES NOW PROBLE PARTS OF SOUTH IN FOR JUDGESHIP Candidate For Supreme Court Post Would Follow Set Precedent NASHVILLE. Feb. 6 VP) An "effort to place Shelby county in a position to use its own strong political organization to trade with every faction in the (democratic) party for support of the Memphis candidate" for the state supreme co'irt was charged today by W. F. Barry, one of the three candidates for the nomination.

Barry is an assistant attorney general. Justice D. W. DeHaven, who was appointed to the bench by Governor McAlister upon the resignation early last year of Justice W. H.

Swiggart, has the indorsement of the Shelby county political organization for election to fill out the remaining six years of Swiggart's term. Barry and Judge- R. A. Elkms of Dresden, the third candidate. recently asked Henry R.

Bell, chairman of the democratic state executive committee, to caU a meeting of the committee for the purpose of fixing a date for a nominating convention. "Mr. Bell's refusal to call the members of the committee to gether plainly shows an Intention to prevent the calling of a separ ate judicial convention to select tthe democratic nomination for of Barry in a statement. This delay in calling the convention is an effort on the part of Shelby county to prevent the holding of a judicial convention at such time as to free it from political influence and to force the nomination of a supreme court justice in the democratic convention which meets in May to nominate delegates for the national convention. "In short, it is an effort to place Shelby county in a position to use its strong political organization to trade with every faction in the party for support of the Memphis candidate.

It is a departure from the long-established and time-honored precedent of holding separate judicial conventions, free from political trading in nominating candidates for the supreme court." Barry said that in a press dispatch yesterday Bell "is quoted as saying that he has no plans for the immedu'e convening of the committee to call a convention to nominate a candidate for the supreme court," adding that Bell "stated that 'there was plenty of time' and would give no indication when the committee would meet. "Mr. Bell," the statement continued, "will not deny his personal politica" obligation to Shelby county for its strong support of him for the high honor of chairman of the state democratic executive committee. "His loyalty would be com mendable were it not for the fact that he is paying his personal political obligations at the expense of the democratic party, to the detriment of the court and to the exclusion of 35 other members of the committee who were elected by popular vott to represent their congressional districts as the governing body of the party. "As vice-chairman of the committee from West Tennessee, and as one of the announed candidates for the supreme court, I dislike to charge an attempted injection of factional politics and political trading in connection with a party nomination for membership on our highest court.

The issue, however, is clearly raised and, regardless of any personal ambitions, I conceive it my duty to advise the people of the state and direct the attention ofVthe bench and bar to the existing situation.

Merchants were notified by John Patterson, secretary of the Pekin Association of Commerce, to re-open their business places at once. PEKIN, 111..

Feb. 6 (Dep uties armed with shotguns guarded Mayor w. E. Schurman's home to day as a blast of gunfire ushered In the second day of a strike imposed moratorium in this indus trial community of 17.000. Ten highway patrolmen cruised me streets but a phantom car eluded them to fire upon Clarence Rupp in the first serious shooting of a labor dispute which developed into a general strike.

The resultant industrial and mercantile paralysis virtually re duced Pekin to the status of a "dead" city. As Rupp, 35, owner of a taxicab service, entered his home last night, an automobile slowed near the curb. One occupant shouted "Hey." Rupp turned and a bullet from the car pierced his right breast. He was taken to Fekin hospital in critical condition. State's Attorney Nathan Ellif said the fact that Rupp's cabs brought food to the picketed American Distillery Company plant, scene of the original strike, was the probable cause of the shooting.

The prosecutor, promising thorough inquiry disclosed he as well as Mayor Schurman had been threatened. The mayor's household reflected the electric tension extant in this city of closed shops and stores. A shotgun rested against the wall of the living room. He told report ers "This is a hell of a way to live America. The mayor received many calls for aid in obtaining coal as the specter of want reared in what had been a prosperous municipal ity until yesterday afternoon when every institution- save mor Lduaries, draft.

Mayor, sheriff, and state's attorney have asked for national guardsmen to break the stalemate. But 300 troops remained bivouacked in Peoria, ten miles away. A committee of the distillery workers union was appointed to meet again in Peoria with State Labor Director Martin Durkin and Federal Conciliators I.

C. Bjork and J. E. O'Connor and Dr. George Mitchell of the American Distillery in an effort to settle that strike.

Frank Mahoney, chairman of the general strike committee which called a sympathy walkout, warned the city wide holiday would not be revoked until Schurman discharged Chief of Police Harry Donahue. Labor leaders held him responsible for spraying pickets with tear gas in recent clashes. The mayor declared he would pat in his refusal to dismiss a man who he said stood for law enforcement. Ranks of the strikers, said by their leaders to number 2,000. were to be swelled by an estimated 600 tonight, when workmen were scheduled to quit the Corn Products Refining Company, second largest employer in Fekin.

Pickets remained on duty in subzero temperatures through the night at the distilling plant. Another group rushed to the Fleisch-mann Teast Company as the midnight shift entered. They were too late to interfere. GIRLS AT VANDERBILT DANCES, NOT BOYS, TO WEAR CORSAGES NASHVILLE, Feb. 6 VP) When corsages are worn at Van-derbilt University dances, the girls not the boys) will wear them.

It may be leap year, and girls may be running the show some places, but not at Vanderbilt. The Hustler, student weekly newspaper, proposed that the girl friends of Vandy's masculine stalwarts should make the dates. send the flowers, be the escorts and virtually run the dances. But the student union board. the membership of which includes three girls, voted unanimously against the plan deciding in ef fect that the girls will continue to wear the corsages at Vanderbilt and the boys to wear the pants.

6 JP) The reich enforced a ban on meetings of all Jewish cultural or ganizations today in an effort to forstall any renewal of anti Semitic rioting as the fourth winter OlvmDic eames opened at Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The reich government also plac ed an official request before the Swiss government to "discover and prosecute" those behind the as sassination of Wilhelm Gustiorr. former leader of the hazis in Swit zerland. The government said the slay ing of Gustloff af Davos Tuesday by a Yugoslav medical student, who described himself as David Frankfurther, a Jew, was "a serious affair which was without doubt a political murder." Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of press and propaganda announced that the prohibition on meetings of Jewish cultural or gi.nizatlons, such as theaters.

would remain in effect until fur ther notice. Bernhard Rust, Prussian com missior.er of culture and educa tion, at the same time forebade Aryan University students to employ Jewish tutors as "contrary to academic dignity." A Berlin dispatch to the. Jewish telegraphic agency described Goebbels' order for suspension of Jewish cultural activities as the "first reprisal against the German Jews" for the assassination of Gustloff. Berlin Jewish circles were reported to believe, however, that no further such steps would be taken until after the conclusion of the winter Olympic games. "It was thought that the government would take no action that might jeopardize the success of the games in the eyes of foreigners by anti-semitic manifestations," the dispatch said.

WEST TENNESSEE Secretary Taylor Attended State Association Meet In Nashille Capt, A. U. Taylor, secretary of the AVest Tennessee District Fair Association, returned last night from Nashville where he attended the Association of Tennessee Fairs in session there Tuesday and Wednesday, and declared today that the outlook for the district fair here was the brightest in several years. The directors have already decided to open the fair here on the second Monday in September, which has been the regular opening date of the local fair for the past fifteen years. Representatives of manv carnivals and other fair attractions were at the meeting in Nashville during the past two days and Mr.

Taylor said today that a large number of most attractive contracts were available for the district fair, but that none had been signed at this time, but tentative agreements had been reached on some of the most important features. Of special interest to the people of this section is the renewed activity in harness racing and at the meeting this week the Southern Harness Racing Association was reorganized and a definite circuit will be established through the South. This definite move will bring many of the country's best harness racers to the local fair, it is said, and should add much new interest to this phase of the district fair program. The annual stockholders meeting of the West Tennessee Fair Association will be held on Thursday, February 13. at 10 o'clock at the city hall, Capt.

Taylor said today, when the complete review of the business of the fair for 1935 will be made.

VP) A petition filed today in civil district court for Mrs. Huey P. Long declared that her late husband died without leaving a will. On Mrs. Long's petition the court gave her attorney, Charles J.

Rivet, authority to search bank lock boxes which ight contain the will of tho senator, but Mr. Rivet said his serch revealed no trace of any.

Feb. 6 (JP) A three-way attack on the farm problem was urged in the house today by Representative Hope of Arkansas, ranking republican on the agriculture comm'ttee and friend to Governor Alf M.

Landon of Kansas, republican presidential possibility. His three suggestions were: 1 Development of the home market for the farmer. 2 A domestic allotment plan to give producers of surplus crops an equivalent for tho industrial tariff. 3 levelopment of foreign markets. Hope recently introduced with advice of house republican leaders, a bill providing for payment of bounties to wheat, cotton, tobacco and hog producers.

The payment would be based on the domestically-consumed share of their crops and would be equivalent to the percentage of their dollar going to pay for industrial tariffs. This is generally the same idea as that advanced recently by Governor Landon. The pending administration soil conservation substitute for the AAA was conceded by Hope to be "a worthy program," but he contended "it will not be effective as far as controlling production is cor cerned." "As a matter of fact, in the long run it will result in increasing production because anything which results in increased fertility means Increased "It has been proposed that a reduction program be undertaken through the states. Probably this can be done constitutionally but it hardly seems reasonable to suppose that the individual states can effectively control production when it could not be done nationally." Arguing for home market" preservation, he condemned the administration's reciprocal tariff agreements as made "at the expense of agriculture." i son creek were Blythe, John and James McClish, William Cooper, Nathaniel Robinson and Thomas Lacey. In the vicinity of Denmark, Thomas and Richard Sanders settled in 1822.

while Col. Williamson settled on Big Black some time during the same year. James M. Jelks took up residence" northwest of Jackson in 1821, being in the neighborhood with the Mitchells and others. In a short time there was a settlement sufficient for a school.

A log house was built in that neighborhood in 1822 and stood until late in the 60's. The pioneer teacher of the little school was a man named Tyner. Sometime in 1820 a Mr. Wear settled in the northeast part of the ATTACK FARM ISSUE ON BASIS GENERAL FARLEY STRIKES BACK AT LIBERTY LEAGUE Predicting at Same Time New Deal Will Find Much Support MIAMI, Feb. 6 (JP) Postmaster General James A.

Farley today had coupled a slashing attack on the Liberty League with a prediction that the New Deal will find widespread support among capitalists. The chief of staff of the democratic politics apparently was looking straight toward November elections in an address here last night when he declared: "For every capitalist or industrialist who wishes to bring back Hoover days, there will be ten of his own economic group who will appreciate that the New Deal stopped the panic and gave them, each of them, a chance to recover." Speaking before some 1,000 democrats at a dinner honoring President Roosevelt. Farley played Liberty Leaguers as "reactionaries." In speaking of the league which cheered At Smith's recent sttaek on his former political al- lies, Farley said: "They have made so much noise that they have perhaps convinced themselves that the racket of their own raising is a voice of the business community." The administration's "whole successful effort," he added, "has been to save and restore business, and it has accomplished that very thing, just as it has removed the great mass of our people from the jeopardy of economic destruction." Sarcastically. Farley referred to the Liberty League as the "American lobby league," and challenged the "party opposing Roosevelt in the coming election" to include in its platform the demands of the Liberty League "the center and soul of. the predatory powers." Not once did Farley refer to Smith by name, though he delivered these pointed remarks: "The Liberty League is the organization of those Bourbons who learn nothing.

It will do much to advance socialism and communism. It would rule America. It would squeeze the worker dry in his old age and cast him like an orange rind into the refuse pail. "And it would continue the infamous policy of using the agencies of government to craete a plutocracy that would perpetuate the sorry business of the Mellons, the Morgans and the DuPonts in reducing 95 per cent of the people to the status of serfs at the mercy of exploiters at the top." SECRETARY SWANSON INJURED IN FALL WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (JP The navy department announced today that Secretary Swanson was confined to the navy hospital for treatment of a broken rib suffered in a fall in his home last night.

The naval secretary was said to have slipped in the bathroom and fallen against a chair. Swanson is 74 years old. The hospital reported him resting comfortably today. CONFEDERATE VETS TO MEET IN SHREVEP0RT NASHVILLE, Feb. 5 Gen.

He estimated that about S00 veterans would attend. when it was organized, home being near the south fork of Forked Deer river, about three miles west of Jackson. Near Porter lived James Brown, near Alexandria lived J. H.

Ray-gin, a brother-in-law of the man for whom the place was named. Approximately five miles west of Jackson, beyond the south fork, James Cockrell settled with his fiamily in September, .1821. W. G. Cockrell, his son, many years later became an county superintendent.

On the south side of the Forked Deer were Frank Herron, Hen-ning Pace, and Benjamin Blythe; also Foster and Richard Golden, whose place was put in nomination for the county seat. On John E' Republican Leader Declares It Leads to Road of Ruin CINCINNATI, Feb. 6 VP) Col. Frank Knox termed inflation a "dread disease" today and declared "all agree we are threatened with it." "Inflation," he said, "even at best, can end only in some degree of depression: and at worst, it is the road to riot no less than the road to ruin." The Chicago publisher, mention ed tmong the republican presiden tial possibilities, addressed the Tri-State Insurance Underwriters convention here. It was his fourth recent speech in Ohio where Senator William E.

Borah Idaho) has decided to enter the presiden tial primary in May. Knox pointed to "social security" as an "admirable ideal, and one which I earnestly endorse," and said: long before politics discovered that there were to Jbe had in talking about social security, millions of our citizens, on their own initiative, were taking steps to look after their own individual security and that of their families. "Today, I am told, more than 65,000,000 of our people are holders of life insurance policies." Stable values, he said, safeguarded by a sound currency, a minimum of public debt and of taxes, and a minimum of unnecessary political interference with business are "vital to the social security of this nation." DEVELOPED Month After Invalidation of AAA Ten Items Considered CHICAGO, Feb. 6 (Market prices of major farm commodities developed a two-way trend today. a month after the invalidation of the Agricultural Administration Act.

An Associated Press survey of 10 items including the major com modities which bore AAA processing taxes disclosed five declined in price while five others advanced since the decision of the supreme court. Most price changes were com paratively insignifiant and several important trade factors including cold weather appeared as market influences. The decision apparently had no direct effect in other cases. Hogr showed the sharpest reac tion, advancing $1 a hundred pounds immediately after the de cision. The top is now $1.30 above that of Ja luary 6 but some of this increase was credited the cold wave and light receipts.
