CINCINNATI, O„ Oct. 10.—(TP)—
Gov. AH M- Landon renewed his
presidential campaign for Ohio’s
26 electoral votes today wfTh a de-
nunciation of the New Deal as “en-
deavoring to coerce thousands of
voters by threatening those on re-
lief with destitution unless they
vote right.”
“It is trying to poison the mind
of the public with a campaign of
vicious misrepresentation,” Landon
said in a speech prepared for de-
livery before a breakfast rally of
party workers, opening a day of ac-
tive rear platform campaigning be-
fore reaching Columbus where he
planned to attend the Ohio State-
Pitt football game.
The Republican candidate entered
Ohio for the second time since his
nomination after opening his Lake
States campaign in Chicago last
night with a demand that voters
“must put the spenders out” and a
pledge to balance the Federal bud-
get within four years if elected. He
proposed to do this by eliminating
“wholesale waste and extravagance”
and by “ecicient administration.”
Directly quoting Franklin D.
Roosevelt seven times, Landon cited
the words of' “Candidate Roosevelt”
at Pittsburgh four years ago as
reasons “why balancing the budget
is of vital importance” and asserted
the New Deal’s fiscal policies “will
wreck the government.”

ROME, Oct. 10. — (A5) — Premier
Mussolini stepped up the weekly

production of war materials by 1,200
industries.
On II Duce’s recommendation, the
cabinet raised the number of naval
enlistments to 60,000 men. ,
The labor production plan, the
premier said, was designed princi-
pally to increase the output of fac-
tories manufacturing supplies for
the air force and the navy.
Construction of airplanes, he as-
serted, has “reached a satisfactory
daily figure but is not yet sufficient
acording to the pre-established
plan.”
He declared new large factories
now are “completing their transfor-
mation in order to construct only

Threaten Withdrawal
PARIS. Oct. 10.—(A5)—Disturbing
threats of Communist-Rightist dis-
turbance from Alsace-Lorraine
heightened, a growing nervousness
today, political observers reported,
in the powerful Radical-Socialist
wing of the government Popular
Front.
Strung pressure, these observers
said, was being brought to bear
on party leaders to withdraw from
the cabinet in the event there
are serious disorders.

Movement of cotton to Denton
has speded up the past few days
and Saturday it approached the
ginnings before the recent rains,
but the downpours had badly re-

Low quality hollies cotton was
practically all that was being
brought to Denton, and it failed by
a considerable margin to draw the
top quotations of 10 to 11.25 cents
per pound on a strict middling ba-
sis. Seed was quoted $30 per ton
here.
A total of approximately 650 bales
had been ginned here as Saturday’s
turnout began, and picking was pre-
dicted to continue fairly steadily
for several weeks yet.

Of chief interest when the law-
makers resume work next week
will be the Senates action on tax
increases proposed by the House
to finance old age pensions.'
The House approved an omnibus
bill which would raise levies on oil,
gas, surphur and utilities 37 1-2
per cent and impose a number of
new taxes, including levies on
amusements and cigars. The Sen-
ate State Affairs Committee likely
will begin hearings on the pro-
posal early next week unless it de-
cides to vote without holding such
hearings.
The House indicated it was not yet
through with approving tax raises.
A proposal to boost the oil tax
from two to six cents a barrel was
pending when the body adjourned
for the week-end .and committees
had given favorable report on
bills to tax salt and carbon blacK
and raise the levy on horse race

Hope for Early Action

for final passage about rhe middle

LONDON, Oct. 10.— (AP)—Three fascist nations of
Europe, accused by Russia of sendings Illegal aid to Span-
ish insurgents, were reported considering today a formal*
protest against the charges to the Moscow government.
Italy, Germany and Portugal pon-
dered the prospective action, in-
formed sources said, as their repre-
sentatives relaxed after a noisy,
tense session of thu international
committee attempting to isolate the
Spanish civil war.
During the meeting, Dino Grandhi,
Premier Mussolini’s delegate and
ambassador to London, called the
Soviet representative a liar, “ener-
getically refuted and repudiated ev-
every single point of the allegations
against Italy,” and turned the Rus-
sian accusations upside down to de-
clare Moscow vfes assisting the
Madrid government.
Francisco Calheiros of Portugal,
who withdrew from the raucous as-
sembly, and Prince Otta von Bis-
marck ■ of Germany in turn denied
the allegations made by Moiseyvich
Kagan, representing Russia.
Results Obtained
Eight hours of heated
brought these results:
.1. Russia decided not to cancel
her membership in the Internation-
al Association charged with trying
to keep the Spanish conflict on a
domestic basis.
2. The committee agreed a So-
viet proposal to appoint an investi-
gating commission to determine
whether foreign aid were being
sent into Spain through Portugal
should await receipts of a formal
answer from the Lisbon government.
3. Italy, Germany and Portugal
were given time to answer com-
plaints of assisting Spanish fas-
cists which 'were first laid before
the group by the Madrid govern-
ment, and, because of the time ele-
ment, took precedence over almost
identical later Russian charges.
4. The committee voted to put
Madrid’s accusations against the
three nations “to the most search- i
_ ' ........‘sfe-c'd-bqi
carried through with the gfeatessi
possible speed.”
The session, at which the Italian
representative’s heated language
was described as “without parallel
in contemporary diplomatic gath-
erings,” adjourned last night with-
out setting the date for its next
meeting.
