J T TAKES a lot of people... nearly 9*000 in Texas...
to see that more than four million telephone calls each
day flow swiftly to their destinations.
It takes operators, whose skilled fingers stand ready
to flash your calls on their way; linemen, to keep the
voice paths open for your words; experts to see that no
trouble, happens in the intricate telephone apparatus
that serves you; engineers; accountants; men and girls
in business offices.
SOUTHWESTERN BELL
To each one of these 9,000, Texas is “home”. They
work here; their children are hi Texas schools. Last
year their pay checks totaled more than eleven million
dollars, and they spent nearly all of this in Texas. They
are an important part of your community.
The telephone company, like its people, is also part
of Texas. It is here to meet this state's need for friendly,
dependable telephone service. It serves its own interests
best by giving good service at reasonable cost to yon.

i* FDR WANTS TO BE
DICTATOR OF U. S.
PARTY” PURGE IS SINISTER
TENDENCY, MICHIGAN
SENATOR ASSERTS
ICAGO, Sept. 9.—The Tribune
Id Thursday Senator Vandenberg,
Jchigan Republican, stated in an
[ten-lew “American dictatorship,
irican style” was the objective of
|President Roosevelt.
The President’s plan, the paper
Isaid the Senator declared, is to pack
if: judicial and legislative branches
lof government with Ids yes men.
|Vandenberg was quoted as follows:
The purge that has come to
[America has utterly sinister impli-
itions. It is one thing for a politl-
leader to seek sympathetic poli-
tical supporters. But It is a totally
ifferent thing for a President of
still free republic to seek con-
d of the legislative and judicial
shes of a constitutional govem-
int which is built necessarily on
le preservation of co-ordinate in-
iependence in these three branches.
Reached for Judiciary
We saw the President reach for
judiciary in his frank effort to
:k the Supreme Court for his own
mrposes. I might even say we have
in him reach for control of the
tery Constitution itself not only by
ibber stamping the Supreme Court
also by actually advising Con-
upon one occasion to pass one
his collectivist laws regardless of
institutional doubts however rea-
mable.
Now we see him reach for the
[gfdrol of the legislative conscience.
Tone but yes men shall be permit-
id to sit in a Congress where de-
i lie rate action shall have been cru-
in advance. It is the final
ilosure of a purpose to impose
| A dictation of one man upon the
of American destiny. It
:es no difference who that one
may be. It makes no dlffer-
how humane and benevolent
be the purposes attributed to
program by those who applaud
Seeks to Gag House
The achievement of this purpose
control the judiciary on the one
l and the Congress on the other
t achievement of American dic-
atorshlp American style,
j It to by means of a so-calle
that this assault upon Repub-
|can institutions now proceeds. One
kthe best examples not only of
purge technique but also of its
ntemplated results is available in
case of the chairman of the
Rules Committee.
| If the Rules Committee can be
the House is gagged, and
an erstwhile independent Con-
gress is gagged. Therefore, the
purge marks for slaughter the
chairman of this powerful commit-
tee, who happens to have been true
to his constitutional responsibility
to legislate as his conscience, his
courage and his long experience
have recommended.

OVER 20 MILLIONS
ESTIMATE COMPRISES THOSE
DRAWING BENEFITS FROM
VARIOUS AGENCIES
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—The So-
cial Security Board reported today
that probably about 20,800,000 per-
sons received public assistance in
the United States during July.
This estimate included those who
received aid from federal, state and
local governments through social se-
curity programs, work relief and
general relief, the National Youth
Administration, the Civilian Con-
servation Corps and the Farm Se-
curity Administration.
Persons who received other gov-
ernmental outlays, such as pay-
ments to farmers for compliance
with federal farm programs, were
not included.
As compared with June, the board
reported there was an increase of
less than 2 per cent in the number
of households receiving public aid.
General relief provided by States
and localities declined about 1 per
cent.
The cost of public aid for the
needy during the month was $258,-
748,000, the board’s monthly state-
ment showed, not including admin-
istrative costs.
There were 1,713,253 recipients of
old-age assistance, comprising ap-
proximately 22 per cent of the esti-
mated population aged 65 and over.
The average payment per recipient
was $19.23, the board noted, the
payments ranging from $4.95 in Mis
sisslppi to $32.34 in California.

OIL MAN FOLLOWS
BRIBE IN PLUNGE
FROM HOTEL ROOM
QUARREL CAUSE OF DOUBLE
TRAGEDY ENACTED BY
TEXAS COUPLE
MATTOON, 111., Sept. 9.—M. E.
Lake, 35 years old, oil company
executive from San Antonio,
plunged to hit, death from a
fourth floor window of a hotel
Thursday shortly after his young
wife had dropped to the sidewalk
from the same window.
Mrs. Lake’s back was broken.
Physicians at the memorial hospi-
tal reported she was in critical con-
dition.
Coroner F. S. Schilling of Coles
County said further investigation
would be necessary before he could
determine the circumstances sur-
rounding the fall of Lake’s wife,
Maxine, 20 years old.
Investigators said they had been
Informed by an oil man named
Moore, who had known Lake for
several years, that the couple had
been married about three months
ago.
The police reported they had
learned that Mrs. Lake registered
last night alone and that her hus-
band went to her room later.
They said it was 12:25 a. m. when
Mrs. Lake hurtled from the window.
Her fall was broken when she
struck a protuding drug store sign.
Lake stood on the window ledge
for several minutes, they added,
while a taxicab driver vainly im-
plored him to step back into the
room.
Then he, too, dropped to the side-
walk. His body landed atop his
bride's prostrate form. His skull was
crushed.
In San Antonio Lake was Identi-
fied as vice president of the Coast
Line Oil Corporation and the Lin-
coln Petroleum Company. He was
widely known In the southwest «s a
geologist.
The couple came to Mattoon in
connection with an oil development
program about Aug. 24. They had
lived in a resort cabin at Lake Mat-
toon.
Clint Milan, an independent oil
man from Clarksville, Tex., said he
| attended a party of eight persons
with the Lakes last night. After the
party, he told officers, Mrs. Lake
and her husband quarreled, the
young wife taking her baggage to
the Mattoon hotel.
Lake and an associate, W. J.
Malcolm, 60 years old, of Los Ange-
les and Centralia, 111., later drove
to the hotel, Milan said, to see Mrs.
Lake.
Lake entered his wife’s room,
Milan said, while Malcolm waited in
the street. Malcolm, he continued,
saw Mrs. Lake plunge from the
window, feet first. While Malcolm
ran to a telephone, Milan recounted
to officers, Lake plunged from the
window head first.
Police said a man representing
himself as a government agent took
a wallet containing $500 from Lake's
body as it lay in the street. A search
was started for the man.
Farmers Are Urged—
(Continued from Page 1)
Applications for 15 miles of plant-
ings have already been received
and Morgan said he crews could
handle about 400 miles of plant-
ings during the winter season. A
new area, Donley county, has been
opened up, where about 150 or 200
miles of trees will be planted this
year.
In places where only a small per-
cent of the trees have died, Morgan
said that the U. S. Forest service
would furnish the stock for the far-
mers to replant. He also urged far-
mers to start putting out poison
grain for rodents and getting con-
trol of these pests before spring.
Even though rodents are not both-
ering the young trees, they can he
killed now and cut down losses in
suits. The poison grain Is furnish
ed at the U. S. Forest station.

Farley, “for consideration and ac-
tion.”
No comment was forthcoming im-
mediately from postal or justice of-
ficials.
Mrs. Toulson said she had ,no
comment to make. Recently she de-
nied accusations filed with the com-
mittee by Senator Tydings, who
said it was "notorious" that she had
told postmasters to “get out and
work for Lewis.”
Investigation Pressed
The Senate committee expressed
belief that Mrs. Toulson had violat-
ed a Federal statute forbidding gov-
ernment employes to contribute
anything of value, including serv-
ices, to other Federa lemployers or
to any member of Congress for po-
litical purposes.
President Roosevelt has asked
Maryland Democrats to nominate
Lewie as a part of his drive to
maintain a “Liberal” party.
The committee pressed other
phases of its Maryland investiga-
tion in an effort to announce the
results before Monday’s primary
election. It announced that the re-
ports of its investigator “do not
sustain the charge that the C. I. O.
Is financing the campaign of Re-
presentative Lewis.”

SALT LAKE SCHOOLS
BAR TEACHER GIFTS
HALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 9.
—There will be no more teacher’s
pets in the Salt Lake City schools
—the children will have to find a
new way to “apple polish.”
Superintendent of Schools L,
John Nuttal Jr., ruled that gifts of
any kind to Instructors are taboo.
“The order is definite that chil-
dren may not bring gifts to teach-
ers,” he explained. “Leaving gifts
out of the classroom will tend to
make children much more demo-
cratic.”
The ruling will prevail even at
Christmas time.

OTTIE DANIELS
$05 N. Main Phene 2M
receiving reports an alleged whip-
ping of a Sudeten German deputy
by a Czech policeman had caused
a rupture of the negotiations be-
tween the Czechoslovak government
and the Sudeten Germans.
Hitler was understood to have In-
structed the minority leaders In the
neighboring republic to resume their
talks to convince the world he was
leaving nothing undone to find a
peaceful solution of the dispute and
to enable him to press upon the
British to demand maximum con-
cessions from Prague for the Ger-
manic minority.
Composite Picture
Following is a composite picture
of the developments expected In the
Czechoslovak dispute, as gained in
a cross-section of opinion, both
German and foreign of delegates
and visitors to the 10th annual
Nazi party congress here.
1. Viscount Runciman. unofficial
British mediator in Prague, needs
must draw the conclusion that
complete autonomy is the least the
Sudeten Germans will accept. He
therefore must recommend to
President Eduard Benes and Pre-
mier Milan Hodza the granting of
autonomy. They will not. accept this.
2. Lord Runciman therefore will
be compelled to admit his media-
tion mission has proved fruitless.
3. With Runctman’s withdrawal.
Great Britain will assume an atti-
tude of neutral aloofness.
4. Incidents, such as that at.
Maehrisc-Ostrau, where a Sudeten
Germany deputy allegedly was
struck by a whip, will prove un-
avoidable. Germans might be killed.
5. Hitler then will consider that
people of his own blood have been
attacked and Germany must hurry
to the rescue of the Sudetn Ger-
mans.
