(Walter A. Jones, Pittsburg oil
man, is fighting the incumbent
Joseph F. Guffey, for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination in
Pennsylvania’s primary Tuesday.
Jones said he wanted no ‘‘name
calling scrap” because “I think
the public is sick and tired of that
kind of stink.” President Roose-
*velt’s name is on Pennsylvania’s
Democratic presidential ballot.
Apparently, some confusion still
prevails among a great many pro-
ducers relative to the status of I
warehouse loans not repaid by
April '30. “The Commodity Credit
Corporation will take title to all
wheat held as collateral security
for loans not repaid as of April
30, advises Charles Lemons, chair-
man of the Carson Co. A. C. A.
committee. All wheat thus acquir-
ed by the Corporation will be pla-
ced in one gigantic pool. The com-
modity Credit Corporation will
then go on the market and sell
this wheat in as orderly a manner
as possible. Upon complete liqu-
idation of the pool, each producer
will receive his proportionate
share of the net returns, if any
surplus remains after all charges
have bee npaid.”
“Since the price received for
the various classes and grades of
wheat can obviously not be de-
termined until all wheat in the
pool has been sold, it seems likely
that considerable delay in effect-
ing settlement with producers will
be encountered; that is, in case it
is determined that producers are
due additional funds.
DESKIN WELLS, WELLING-
TON NEWPAPERMAN, IN
RACE FOR CONGRESSMAN
Thirty million American public, private and parochial school children will be asked next week to
give one penny for each year of their lives for child refugees the word over in a “children’s cru-
sade for children” under direction of Dorothy Canfield Fisher, prominent writer and chairman of
the drive. Photos contrast happy American children with a homeless' victim of the Polish war.
U. S. Marks 75th Anniversary of Lincoln’s Death
Wellington, Texas, April 15.—
As the . first candidate to come
out flatly against sending our
American boys to die in a Euro-
pean war, Deskins Wells, country
editor of Collinsworth County,
announced this week that he was
definitely in the race for Congress
^and that his platform would be
announced shortly.
In announcing Deck Wells said:
I intend to make few promises, j
but to run on my known record
of having worked for farmers and
ranchers in my home county; but
to make myself perfectly clear, I
. do give the people of the Pan-
handle this pledge: I will vote
against the entry of the United
‘‘"'States into any European war.
I believe in preparation strong
enough to resist any outside ag-
gression, but that our best course
is to remain strong and free by
conserving our resources and our
♦ boys.
I was born on a farm near Wel-
lington oveer 38 years ago, and
lived on the farm until I was 25.
As a country editor I have work-
ed with and for the people on the
farms and ranches for 15 years.
Since Marvin Jones’s most im-
portant service was rendered in
behalf of agriculture, I will strive
to continue this service to the lim-
it of my ability.
Not only do I favor the soil
conservation program and the
farm program, but I will work for
♦ the conservation of human lives.
In this district, farmers moving
from the land have made worse
the plight of workmen who could
not find jobs in the towns and
cities. For that reason I will sup-
port the Farm Security program,
the Farm Tenant Act as well as
all sound legislation to relieve un-
employment.
In my platform, which will be
announced shortly, I will be more
specific on other important mat-
ters and especially the need of
enforcing the immigration laws,
^tightening them if1 necessary to
keep down un-American activi-
' ties, which in the main are con-
ducted by the foreign born who
are sent over here for that pur-
pose by ruthless governments.
I am strongly in favor of social
security including pensions for
the old, and I will work to create
jobs for the young people.
I do not inteend to try to fool
the people into believing that I
know all that there is to know
about being a Congressman, but
I do know enough about the work-
ings of the Congress of the United
^States to realize that any new
man. you send to Washington will
be a freshman in Congress, and
that he will have to work as such
at first regardless of his age or
how long he has been in politics.
I am new to politics and will be
to Congress, but I will work hard
and faithfully if you send me
there.
I am making this statement in
order that my friends over the
Panhandle may know for sure
that I am in the race. I will ap-
preciate greatly the opportunity
of goin gto Washington and work-
ing my way up in order to be in
\i position to continue the splen-
did work that has been done by
Marvin Jones, whose place can-
not be filled but whose sincertiy
of purpose can. Your task is to
judge thee candidates and select
that sort of a man regardless of
whether it be Deck Wells or some-
one else.
Seventy-five years ago Sunday, on April 14, 1865, an actor named John Wilkes Booth mortally
wounded President Abraham Lincoln as he Avatched a performance in Ford’s theater, Washington.
Commemorative observances Avere held throughout the nation Sunday to mark the event. Photos
