SEPTEMBER 2, 1934. PART I.J SUNDAY MORNING. Threat Writer Two-Year Isolation in Frozen Arctic Ends UNION DEMANDS 1 HELDRUINOUS GATES OPENED AT STATE FAIR Gov. Merrriam Officiates at Eightieth Annual Show Record Crowds Indicated; All Exhibit Space Taken Governor Praises Press in Address to Publishers FINAL CHECK-UP ON VOTES SHOWS LARGE TURN-OUT Republicans and Democrats Each Cast About 55 Per Cent of Strength at Primary Republicans and Democrats turned out about equally well to vote In their respective party primaries last Tuesday, but for the first time in many years the total Democratic vote cast in the State exceeded that cast by the Republicans, a review of the election figures showed yesterday.

(Exclu sive) The California State Fair to day opened for the view of all Cali- fornians a brilliant panorama of the achievements of eighty-two years of Statehood.

Billions of dollars of resources were blended with a pageantry of California's colorful past, present and future, as thousands thronged through the exposition gates. Gov. Merriam received from A. B. Miller, president of the State Agri cultural Society, the key with which he unlocked the gates to admit a long line of early arrivals.

RECORD EXHIBITS Miller declared these were the vanguard of the largest crowd ever to attend the State Fair through the eighty years of its history. "There never was a time," said the exposition chief, "when the entire State has given such unlimited support to the institution." For the first time in the fair's history, every inch of exhibit space has been taken up, and more could have been sold. Exhibitors have increased from 20 to 80 per cent. "This means," Miller continued, "that California agriculture is coming out of the slough, and the farming interests are able to participate in the fair to a much greater degree than they did last year." PUBLISHES HEAR MERRIAM At a noon-day luncheon, California publishers were the guests of the fair directors. Gov.

Merriam, the principal speaker, lauded the press of the. nation as the greatest single factor in stabilizing the commonwealth, to keep it from veering too far to the right or too far to the left. "Do not be blown away from the moorings," he implored the publish ers, "do not be swayed, either to the left or too far to the right." Former Gov. Richardson also spoke. First day visitors found the exhibits at the fair to be of a uniformly high quality.

Greatest improvement has been noted In the live-stock sections, where 300O blooded animals are gathered for the keen competition for blue ribbons.

Three great blazes in the Selway National Forest of North Idaho, the Pete King, McLendon Peak and Martin Creek fires, and the Stevens county fire on private holdings in Northwestern Washington, all fanned by winds during the night and much of today, remained out of control. The Pete King fire area now has a perimeter of 175 miles and an area of approaching 100,000 acres.

executive council and the strike committee were scattering to points in the field, to address mass meetings today and on Labor Day. Picketing on a huge scale was contemplated.

r-V Sloan Presents of Cotton Industry I Violence Against National Code Held Intolerable Workers' Gain Under N.R.A Cited in Radio Speech NEW YORK. Sept. 1. UP) George Sloan, chairman of the cotton textile code authority, declared tonight the cotton textile industry ia "faced with preposterous and ruinous demands, issued by a union la bor organization which represents only a minority of the employees of this industry." Sloan, president of the Cottonw Textile Institute and chief spokes- man for some 1200 manufacturers, said in a radio address: "We cannot accept as Justified the violent procedure of a strike against a government code. We contend that the New Deal meant to offer a guarantee of economic liberty to employees a real freedom of choice in their relationship to their em- ployers.

AGAINST COERCION "The American State cannot per-mit a majority of American men and women to be coerced into an or ganization to whose leadership they i have not given their allegiance," The code authority chairman said his industry was the first to accept the much controverted Section 7-A. "We at all times observed i and will continue to observe this clause of the N.I.R.A., which gives to our employees the right to coU lective bargaining through representatives of their own Sloan said. "For any Individual violations of this law, there are government agencies to enforce compliance." INDUSTRY SHOWS FAITH Declaring that his industry "has demonstrated Its faith in the N.R.A.," Sloan reiterated that it had "raised the hourly rates of pay 70 per cent; wchave reduced working hours from an average of fifty-four to a maximum of forty hours a "We added 14,000 persons to tha pay roll between March and Au- gust, 1933. We have gone above 1929 in persons employed. We are paying a higher average hourly rat i than in 1929." MULBERRY LANDS FISH WABASH and.) Sept 1.

CREEL RUNS SECOND Following Sinclair on the Democratic ticket, George Creel netted 279,400 votes, Justus Wardell 48,200, and the rest tapered off down to a bare 2000 votes. Merriam will have as his running mate for Lieutenant-Governor George J.

Hatfield, who received a heavy vote. On the Democratic ticket Sheridan Downey will be the running mate of Upton Sinclair. For Controller, the incumbent, Ray Riley, was renominated on the Republican ticket and until the last official count is made it will be uncertain whether he or William H. Kindig, the Epic candidate, is nominated on the Democratic ticket. Riley's nomination as a Bourbon would insure his election now, but if Kin-dig wins the nomination it will be a run-off between them in November.

JOHNSON NOMINATED The incumbent, Charles G. Johnson, was nominated by the Republicans for State Treasurer, with William A. Ward for the Democrats. After a close race for the Democratic nomination for Attorney-General, U. S.

Maurice R. Norcop, 47,857. VOLIVA VISIONS WORLD.CHAOS (Continued from First Page) tion of the millennium will be not later than 1942-43," Voliva deduced. To get down to arithmetic applied to history: Voliva went back to the overthrow of Judah and the destruction of King David's throne for the beginnings of the 'times of the which he said (Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28; Daniel 4:18, 23, 25, 32) were to last 2520 years. GIVES EPOCHAL YEARS The epochal years in the gentile beginnings, he said, were 607 B.

when Pharoah Necho invaded Palestine and dethroned Judah's King; 604 B. when Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem; 597 B. when he again laid siege to Jerusalem, and 586 B. when the siege was completed and all the Jews quit Palestine for Egypt. Now for the arithmetic.

Voliva took those 2520 gentile years for a measuring stick. Said he: "The times of the gentiles began in four epochal periods, B. 607, 604, 597 and 586. "The times of the gentiles will end in 1914, 1917, 1924 and 1935-36 A. followed by the seventieth week of Daniel, a period of seven years, 1935-36 to 1942-43.

"607 B. C. minus 1 plus 1917 (the beginning of the World War) equals 2520. SURRENDER OF JERUSALEM "604 B. C.

minus 1 plus 1917 (year of the Balfour declaration and surrender of Jerusalem by the Turks) equals 2520. "597 B. C. minus I plus 1924 (year the Mohammedan caliphate ended) equals 2520. "586-85 B.

C. minus 1 plus 1935-36 equals 2520." Having thus demonstrated his contentions, Voliva asserted: "Every line of prophecy shows that the Christian dispensation is ending and the times of the gentiles are expiring. The coming of Jesus Christ in the rapture for the church. his bride, must be very, very near at hand." Plane Carrying Six Persons on Missing List SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 1.

Municipal Airport officials here tonight reported a private plane piloted by Ed Laparle of Milwaukee, and carrying five passengers has not been heard from since it left the airdrome here at noon yesterday. Cheyenne. is said to have been the destination of the ship. Under flying regulations the pilot of a ship is required to report back here from the field on which the plane lands next after leaving here. Information from Milwaukee indicates the plane is owned by the A.

O. Smith Corporation of the four scientists, but sixteen LONG LAUNCHES GRAFTJNQUIRY (Continued from First Page) witnesses through testimony designed to show that graft was rampant in the city, and hat vice flourished in fertile soil. By adroit questioning, and occa sional helpful suggestions he drew testimony of a sensational nature from each of the witnesses. 1 Of the first four witnesses called, one was a book-keeper who "told all" about handbooks; one was a self-styled though anoymous "lady" of a house of ill-repute; one a disgruntled ward healer for a political opponent, and one a salesman of "policy" game supplies. GRAFT ESTIMATES VARY All told practically the same sto ry.

Estimates on graft collected by police, assertedly for city officials, however, varied. At the start of the broadcast of proceedings, Long announced that he had "just received a telephone call from 'Turkeyhead Walmsley (Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley,) but that he didn't care to talk with him. "Just listen, Turkeyhead," Long shouted, "and you'll hear plenty." Long hopes by the proceedings to oust Walmsley and other city opponents from office. TURNER BREAKS OWN AIR MARK (Continued from First Page) along the route, which he figured at 2512 miles, compared with 2520 miles he traveled to set the last record.

"They were everywhere," he said as he climbed from the cockpit at Floyd Bennett Field for the first time since leaving Burbank. "This is the toughest flight I ever made in my life. I ran into nothing but storms this side of Albuquerque." He plans to fly it to Cleveland tomorrow where he will compete in the closed course competition at the National Air Races. FLYERS LEFT AT POST TO TAKE OFF TODAY James E. Granger, veteran California pilot, and Lieut.

Murray B. Dllley, March Field Air Corps flyer, stranded here Friday at the start of the Bendix trophy race, tested their planes yesterday for take-offs today in a special consolation race to Cleveland and New York. Depending on their elapsed times as compared with Col. Roscoe Tur ner's record set yesterday, the two pilots were in readiness to get in the air before midnight tonight in an effort to share the special $3500 purse, $1000 of which is for the fastest time to New York, the balance for the best time to Cleveland. Weather, apparently, now is all that might delay them.

Their planes are ready to fly, unless more trouble develops, both cald.
