Guttey's unqualified support of the Ea ticket, approved by 61 of his 65 county leaders. 2.

Pointed refusal of Lieutenant Governor Thomas Kenndy and his running mate, Judge Ralph H. Smith, Guffey-CIO candidate for lieutenant governor to support the organization slate. Kennedy walked out on Guffey when the senator invited Charles Alvin Jones and David L. Lawrence to address the dinner meeting of Guffey county chairmen. Judge Smith refrained from attending although present in same hotel.

3. Indicated amendment of the party rules to permit Senator Guffey representation on the State committee, Jones, through Kennedy election of campaign Ed4. Indications Senator Guffey manager, as co-vice, chairman. would assume the role of campaign manager for the Earle-Jones ticket. The partial party peace found Senator Guffey, State Chairman Lawrence, and gubernatorial nominee Charles Alvin Jones exchanging speeches of friendship and devotion to each other following a 61- adoption by the Guffey County chairmen of support for the organization ticket.

County leaders representing Luzerne, Fayette, Lawrence and Cameron Counties voted against the "peace" resolution. Kennedy, who motored to the meeting with Guffey from Washington, termed the Guffey action "premature, ill-advised and hurried" in an address to the county chairmen. As long as individuals high within the Democratic party remained "under a cloud," he said. the Guffey-Kennedy forces should remain apart. There was no casion, he added, for such an early commitment.

He referred to the graft and corruption charges here against the Earle administration. When the resolution nevertheless passed and Senator Guffey announced Chaires Alvin Jones and Lawrence be asked to address the meeting, Kennedy peremptorily left. He could not, he said, remain true to his convictions and stay. He left immediately for Washington it was presumed Lewis, chairman. wouldo confer with John L.

Four county chairmen worked for Kennedy in his unsuccessful Democratic primary fight stood squarely behind him his refusal to "rush in" with endorsement of the organization nominees. At least one of them, John Roney, Fayette, promised to expand his views from the floor this afternoon as an invited guest at the Democratic State Committee meeting. Roney voted "no" on a resolution of organization endorsement summitted by U. S. Senator Joseph F.

Guffey at last night's conference of Guffey-Kennedy county leaders. Chairman John Carroll, Luzerne, Mel George, Lawrence and Daniel Sullivan, Cameron, also voiced dissent to the 61 votes of approval.

Opposition To WageHour Bill Crushed (Continued From Page 1) If the House approves the provision, speedy agreement in entire both House and Senate on the bill was assured. Rejection of the proposal would upset all plans of leaders for adjournment of Congress tomorrow night. President Roosevelt, it was thoritatively stated, opposes $212,000,000 appropriation on the ground that Congress refused to levy additional taxes to finance the expanded farm program. In spite of administration opposition, the farm bloc hoped to win approval in the House.

Starting Congress on the road to major guaranteeing farm crops, minimum the fund prices would raise of direct farm aid voted in the present session to over $700,000,000. With all Republicans on the Senate-House Conference Committee refusing to sign the conference agreement on other provisions of the huge measure, House Republicans planned to stage a demonstration against it.

Increase Of Million Tons Of Anthracite An unusual amount of cold and rainy weather last month "kept the home fires burning" 80 continuously that shipments anthracite during that period, as reported to the Anthracite Institute, a showed an increase of almost million tons over shipments for the preceding month of April, and also exceeded the tonnage shipped during May, 1937.

May, 1938, shipments amounted to 3,821,416 net tons, an increase of 928,594 net tons or 32.10 percent when compared with 2,892,822 net tons shipped during the preceding month. Compared with the May, 1937, figure of 3,790,521 tons, the Pennsylvania Druggists To Back Doctors (Continued From Page 1.) remarks, the question became so interesting that it took up most of the, morning Bishop and session. one-half declared that for the his past one years, in official capacity, he been touring Pennsylvania and, talking to medical, pharmaceutical and nurse groups in a hope of remedying conditions that had been rapidly growing, the worse, reaching a point where future of doctors, druggists and nurses was really endangered. At the outset, he stated that if there ever was a time when the healing arts groups should get together, that time was the present. He said that in this hurly-burly world of today the only solution was "Co-operation, co-ordination and cohesion," a slogan he adopted since becoming head of the State medical group.

His first suggestion was that action be immediate, and that doctors, nurses pharmacists each appoint special committees to meet conference and work out a co-ordinated program. He went on to say that since 1902 there have been sixteen medical surveys in the State. The first problem he brought to the convention was need of authentic information to offset claim of a group of people. in the States who are asserting, and that somewhat vociferously, that they are not receiving niedical aid and attention. In short, pointed out the necessity of gathering reliable inforation to show that in the present economic state, doctors, nurses and druggists are giving of their time and talents in bringing aid to those who need it and are unable to pay.

Plan Questionnaires Such information, he proposed be gathered by means of questionnaires that are going to all related healing arts groups. There are eight direct questions for answer the opportunity to make whatever suggestions are necessary. His second problem, and that the biggest of the two, related to use of the pharmacopoeia by both doctors and pharmacists, in the writing of prescriptions by doctors and their compounding by druggists. Ths was the old method of practice, prior to the day when proprietary abundance medicines began the to shelves appear of on drug stores. He deplored the fact doctors very often prescribed "com- proprietary medicines, the pounding" on the part of the druggist being nothing more than to relieve the label from a package on the shelf and paste on the medical name, adding date and name of doctor.

On the other hand, he found ground for complaint over the fact that druggists sometimes overstep the ethical bounds and suggest patent remedies for the ailments of their patrons. From these two complaints the convention became animated, not in any controversial sense, but in spirit that something was wrong and that a remedy was needed. Many delegates asked questions of the medical president and he answered. There was at times a conflict in opinions, but generally there was acceptance belief that all groups are at authen some way or another and that relief must come getting together. Dr.

pointedly stated: "If we get together, work in co-operation, we can get what we want in Pennsylvania, politically or a Dr. advanced Bishop use of also electrical pointed out theraupy, the and declared this a danger to the healing arts, but this question was only lightly mentioned and not debated. Another point that the exchange of ideas brought out was that social and economic problems are besetting the healing arts and that something has got to be done about this matter too. Several of the delegates talked on the advancement of socialized medicine and for a while there was a business question before the body, this dealing with costs, expenditures and so on, leaving the impression that extensive use of proprietary medicines has greatly reduced income. After Dr.

Bishop had asked and answered many questions, he was voted thanks for his presence before the group and after he had left convention hall, a resolution was speedily enacted promiting co-ordinated effort of the body in meeting with doctors and nurses a hope to a return to the days when the doctor prescribed and the druggist compounded not from the packages on his shelves but from the bottles displayed there. Soon after the convention swung into the program for the morning. The session was devoted follows: to reports Henry which were as Brown, reporting on the American Pharmaceutical Association convention; Nathan H. Anthony on the National Association of Retail Druggists convention; Wilmer Krusen on The Medical Society of Pennsylvania convention; Theodore Cambell, the Public Health Legislative conference; J. C.

He said Mr. Roosevelt stated he would "not object to passage of the bill." The railroad relief bill was slated for passage weeks ago, but it was hurriedly withdrawn after the carriers announced their 15 percent wage cut, which labor has served notice it will not accept. George M. Harrison, president of the railway labor groups, made it clear they were still opposed to the RFC-aid measure unless the carriers back-up their wage cut.

Instead, he said, the government is considering two proposals for prevention of further usch outrages by purely "peaceful Answering growing demand fsor stern reprisals against the attackers. Chamberlain ruled out the belligerent use of warships or antiaircraft guns on the grounds this would tantamount to British intervention in the Spanish Civil War.

As a result, the Premier warned. British ships entering war zones in the Mediterranean or elsewhere do so "at their own risk." For Britain to take an active part in the hostilities, he said. "might well result in spread of the conflict far beyond its present limits." The proposals being considered Chamberlain outlined as follows: 1-Establishment of safety zones in certain harbors. 2-Selection of a single port in Spanish Government territory outside the zones of military operations where British ships might discharge their cargoes unhindered.
