BATON ROUGE, La.—Louisiana’s
new chief -executive, who defeated
the late Huey Long’s political ma-
chine, proposes that the federal gov-
ernment “share the wealth” by bear-
ing the entire cost of equal old age
pensions the nation over.
Gov. Sam H. Jones asked the state
legislature Tuesday night to memo-
rialize Congress to assume the en-
tire burden of a maximum $20-a-
month pension for needy aged.
Jones said poorer states were han-
dicapped under the present system in
which the government matches state
funds dollar for dollar.
“Economically, this nation oper-
ates as a unit,” he said. “We of the
South have paid our toll and tribute
to Wall Street, and we are still pay-
ing it. If wealth must be centered in
one section of the nation, then let the
burden of financing the legitimate
governmental activities of the whole
nation likewise be so centered.”

to teach Americans to know their

I have resigned as your Assistant
District Attorney. I am asking you to
promote me to be your District At-
torney.
I was born and have been raised in
Grayson County and now reside in
Sherman. My grandarents’, Mr. and
Mrs. W. W. Farlow were pioneer res-
idents of Grayson County, Texas. For
twenty years, my father was an em-
ployee of the Katy Railroad. I am
married; my age is twenty-seven.
I have served into my fourth year
as your Assistant District Attorney.
During this time, I have •dikeharged
every duty pertaining to this" office.
I have practised in every court in
this county and the Court of Criminal
Appeals. I have assisted in the prep-
aration and trial of practically every
criminal case during my tenure of
office.
Soon after I became your Assistant
District Attorney, it was discovered
that liquor offenses could not be
presented because all records relat-
ing to the dYy status of Grayson
County had been burned and de-
stroyed. It seemed apparent that an-
other election would have to be held.
Largely on my own time, I success-
fully re-established the status of
Grayson County, without resort to an
election. This saved the taxpayers of
Grayson County many hundreds of
dollars and enabled the state to pros-
ecute liquor offenses without calling
a special election.
A few years ago, when the honky-
tonks and beer taverns were running
riot, I was assigned the task of clean-
ing up this intolerable situation. By
prosecution and injunction, these
honky-tonks were halted, closed and
cleaned up in Grayson .County.
I have-worked hard on the job I
have had. If you will promote me to
be your District Attorney, I will con-
tinue to do so.
I have not prepared and do not
have any vote-getting platform. I
will make no rash and glowing prom-
ises that are incapable of fulfillment.
I simply promise my unstinted ser-
vices in the conduct of this office—a
courageous, efficient, impartial pros-
ecution of crime that occui-s in our
county.

The mother did not answer John’s
smile, but raised the bat and brought
it down on her son’s forehead. The

to me that he’d be better off dead

WASHINGTON.—Senator Connal-
ly of Texas, member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, said
Monday night that America should
build its defenses so strong that no
other ower would dare attack.
Recalling the sacrifices made by
those who have built up this country,
he added in a radio speech:.
“It is our manifest obligation to all
of these to make America so strong
upon the land and upon the sea and
in the air that no power on earth
shall dare to attack us or to chal-
lenge our safety. We want peace, but
there is no other course if we would
remain at peace.”

After making proper incisions at

and continue for at least half an
hour.
Apply a tourniquet above the site
of the wound, releasing every ten or
fifteen minutes for about a minute at
a time.
Secure the services of a physician
at the earliest possible moment.
DO NOT run or get overheated
and DO NOT take any alcoholic
stimulants, because circulation in-
creased by alcohol Or exercise serves
to distribute the poison much more
rapidly through the body.
DO NOT injure the tissues by in-
jecting permanganate of potash,
which is known to be of no value as
an antidote.
DO NOT depend upon home reme-
dies or so-called snake-bite cures,
but call a physician immediately.'

CINCINNATI, Ohio'.—Many poten-

The American Psychiatric Asso-
ciation was told today by its presi-
dent, Dr. William Sandy, of Harris-
burg, Pa;, of plans to examine every
recruit as to his nerve as well as his
physical capability.
He declared a military question-
naire now is being circulated among
psychiatrists, having as its objective
“preparedness for meeting the re-
quirements of any national emer-
gency.”
The association, he said, is seeking
' to ■ have trained psychitarists avail-
able at every station to assist other
medical examiners in determining
the mental fitness of recruits.
Under the plan it would no longer
be possible for adventurous boys to
lie their way into a uniform or for
• psychopathic and potential nervous
cases to pass examination and* later
• become wards of the government.
There are now more than 30,000
cases of nervous disorder jn veter-
an’s hositals as a result of the last
war. Dr. Sandy declared that it is
planned to reduce that number great-
ly in case the United States becomes
involved in the present war.
Military psychiatrists attending the
annual meeting of the association de-
clared that mental examinations are
particularly necessary in the selec-
tion of airplane pilots. In addition to
sound health, the pilot of today’s 350
