Wick ard said, "that not only did the Republican party do nothing for farmers when it was in power, but that when de Roosevelt administration really tackled the farm program, the Republican party opposed or tried to hamstring nearly every constructive move." Wickard said that "as a working organization, the Republican party still is dominated by the Old Guard the same high-tariff. Wall Street, reactionary Old Guard." Wickard described President Roosevelt as "the best friend agriculture ever has had in the White House." Prompt action is necessary in replying to the attractive offers in The Constitution Want Ads.

Smith, secretary here for the American Bible Society, which has offices at 85 Walton street, last night said: "The passages should be read by members of the family, and by the soldier wherever he should be, and both the soldier and his loved ones will be strengthened." The Rev. Pierce Harris, pastor of the First Methodist church, declared the selected passages are among the best in the Bible, and will give consolation to all who read them. "I recommend them to both the soldier out there fighting, and to his loved ones back home," Dr. Harris said. Col.

Scott came by air directly from the west coast where he has assisted in making the film ver sion of his book.

Col. Scott said' that at Orlando he expects to take over a new army plane and will pilot it to a base in the north. He said he didn't know to which base he would be reassigned. He was scheduled to leave by plane for Orlando at 2:05 a. m.

today but said that weather conditions due to the hurricane might delay his trip for some hours. Gasser Improving G. F.

Dewey said Secretary Hull had declined to comment the day after it was signed "on the ground that the terms had not been received from Moscow in time for study." James M. Cox, -a staunch advocate of the League of Nations which the U. S.

senate rejected after the last war, declared "the powers that directed the conspira cy or 1820 control the Republican party still." The former Ohio, governor and Democratic presidential nominee who campaigned In 1920 on a dat form calling for participation in the league, urged the re-election of President Roosevelt saving: "The Allied nations which are winning the war together must lead in winning the peace togeth er. And that trio, Roosevelt, unurcnui and Stalin, whose united leadership is winning the war, are not tney. standing toeether. the best guarantee of the victory for peace lor which our people yearn: HILLMAN HITS BRICKER Meanwhile Sidney Hillman chairman of the CIO Political Action Committee, said today thai Gov. Bricker, Republican vice presidential nominee, was making 'charges of a candidate gone wild with fear at the sight of the grim spectre of defeat constantly stalking him and his running mate." Replying to Bricker's Bakers-field, address, Hillman said in a formal statement: "His latest charge in Bakers-field, is an excellent example.

He charges that he has been informed that agents of the Political Action Committee have launched a campaign of 'threats and intimidation' to line up labor votes for the New Deal. And he goes on to say that this means that 'workers will lose their jobs, fail to get better Jobs, or will be let out when war production ends, or will not get peacetime jobs if they fail to vote for Roosevelt. "This is all of a piece with Gov. Bricker's other charges, the charges of a candidate gone wild with fear at the sight of the grim spectre of defeat constantly stalking him and his running mate. If hs can't win the votes of labor, he's going to scare them into voting for him.

He himself explodes his whole ridiculous thesis by assuring labor in that same speech: 'I want to give you this assurance. We still have a secret ballot in this country.

Roosevelt last night to sponsor private indu-'r use of the govern-r. nt's $20,000,000,100 worth of war plants and to the completion of government power projects to provide "the nu "eus for a great prosperity for the entire nation." The President's fourth-term running mate declared government must make "a well-conceived and well-directed effort to encourage private busings to utilize the plants to stimulate postwar production and employment for returning soldi -rs and war workers." "I mean, r- said, "a government that will place the operation of these plants and the welfare of millions of workers above the selfish interests of those who fear competition." POLITICAL TRICKSTER Truman opposed abandoning the war plant investment in an address prepared for delivery at a Democratic rally in the civic auditorium here broadcast to the Pacific coast. In a five-minute speech an hour earlier on a nation-wide radio hook-up, he also asktd President Roosevelt's re-election and asserted. "We cannot take a chance on either a reactionary or a political trickster." He said Gov. Dewey, the Republican standard bearer, came west to convince it he and his "reactionary backers" favored the Grand Coulee, Bonneville and other rower projects and later, at Charleston, W.

"sought the votes of theteactioi.aries by charging the President with being a fellow traveler with the Communists" for sponsoring government corporatior nd credit agencies as "un-American." Truman said that if Dewey is not in favor of destroying these services "he was guilty of a cheap political trick when he cited them as proof the President is a fellow traveler." DEWEY INDORSEMENT Gov. Dewey, who speaks in Pittsburgh tonight, indorsed a State Department warning to Nazi leaders that they would "pay the penalty for their heinous crimes" if they carried out reported plans to exterminate Poles, Jews and other non-German nationals held in concentration camps. The Governor, who has maintained a friendly attitude toward Secretary of State Hull throughout the campaign, had no immediate comment on a State Department statement challenging some parts of his foreign policy speech in New York. The State Department disputed Dewey's assertion that the treaty signed with Romania last month was "no mere military armistice" but an agreement "restoring peaceful relations with Romania." The department also declared that this department also took A Christmas gift general omce. Approximately 30 witnesses, including the professional bondsmen who are reported to have an ar- 1 rangement with the "bug" men to provide bonds for lottery offend-jers, appeared before the Fulton county grand jury yesterday, i Although only three indictments were returned by the jury against alleged lottery offenders, the jury spent seven hours hearing the wit-I nesses' testimony and gleaning in-i formation about the racket.

Those indicted on a misdemeanor charge for practicing lottery are: Mattie Dennis, Negro woman arrested Wednesday by County Policemen J. Df Johhson and R. L. Sawyer. Margaret Harris, of 1097 West Fair street, and Lucile James, of 262 Brown street, who were ar rested yesterday by County Policemen A.

M. Howie and G. A. Carter. The two Negro women were arrested at the Brown street address, where lottery tickets were found hidden in a dirty clothes box, the officers reported.

Margaret Harris admitted to the officers that she was a lottery "pickup" worker and had visited five "pick-up" stations before going to the other woman's home. Lazareth Mapp, Negro, tried for two charges of lottery before Judge John S. McClelland, of the criminal court of Fulton county, was sentenced to serve ten months. He made two $1,000 appeal bonds. A nominal fee on a $1,000 appeal bond, made by a professional bondsman, is $55, although it is reported that bondsmen have a special rate of $30 for "bug" operators.

Roosevelt Approves Negroes for WAVES WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. (A) The Navy announced tonight that President Roosevelt has approved enrollment of Negro women in the WAVES. A "limited number of especially qualified Negro women," the Navy said, will be commissioned immediately as administrative officers. They will assist in planning and supervising a program for enlistment of Negro women.

The Navy estimated that the first enlisted women will enter training shortly after January 1. "Officer candidates and enlisted women will be trained at existing schools of WAVES," the Navy said. "The number to be enlisted will be determined by the needs of the service." Watch Constitution Want Ads and save a lot of money on household goods, office equipment and building materials.

m. that the Atlantic hurricane is centered off the coast near Savannah, moving northeastward about 25 miles an hour with winds of 60 to 80 miles an hour near its center. Twelve hundred persons were evacuated from St. Simons island, where heavy water damage was reported. Red Cross headquarters here said Savannah Beach was evacuated yesterday afternoon, and emergency shelters and canteens were set up in the city.

Four workers had been sent to the area, the Red Cross added. Schools and business offices were closed in Savannah during the day and the Savannah Machine it Foundry Company and the Southeastern Shipbuilding Corporation suspended operations at noon. "Winds up to 60 or 80 miles an hour were expected in Savannah, the weather bureau there said, and Army installations near the city took precautionary measures. Hunter Field authorities ordered Army planes moved to northern and western bases for safety. Many of the planes had been sent to Hunter from Florida yesterday.

NEWS MISSES EDITION Power failure at Brunswick caused the Brunswick News to miss its first edition in 30 years. The Atlanta offices of the State Highway Patrol said they had word that the roads in Glynn county, of which Brunswick is the chief city, are impassable. The weather bureau at Jackson ville said the storm probably would reach a point off Cape Hat-teras, N. early today and pass out to sea. Relatively little damage occurred at Jacksonville, which had its worst blow since 1928, but nearly 50 beach houses were destroyed by wind and tides at Fer-nandina beach, 25 miles northward.

Between 5,000 and 7,000 people in Florida are being sheltered in temporary establishments, and between twice and three times that many people are being fed, the Red Cross at Washington said. The most acute situation prevailed at Jacksonville, since all northbound and southbound passenger trains had been held there overnight and many of the pas- sengers were being cared for by the Red Cross. In the populous Sarasota-Tam-pa-St. Petersburg area, where the hurricane moved inland at dawn, beach residents were evacuated and no loss of life was reported. Damage to property in Florida was estimated in the millions of dollars, but no single area seemed severely hit.

24 KILLED IN CUBA Belated reports from Havana said at least 24 were killed, and Surgidero de Batanbano, south Cuban coastal port built on lowlands and over water, was destroyed by the hurricane Wednesday. It appeared that the Isle, of Pines, although badly buffeted, had escaped heavy damage. At Key W.st, six naval vesseis were driven aground, but none was seriously damaged and there were no casualties. A Navy tug which removed 21 men from an abandoned lightship re-established communication today and'reported all aboard were safe. The tropical hurricane was centered "very close" to Jacksonville at 3 p.

m. yesterday afternoon, the Jacksonville weather bureau said. At the airport weather station gusts of wind of 80 miles an hour were recorded before the lull. Winds reached 75 miles an hour at Bradenton, knocking down trees and communication lines, St. Augustine was drenched by rain.

Water ran waist-deep in some streets flooding ground floors of many buildings. The St. Augustine Record failed- to pub lish for the first time in 50 years because its ground floor was flooded. The Florida citrus loss estimate came from Gaynor Wiggins, secretary-treasurer of an Orlando company. He said the grapefruit crop' loss might be from 40 to 60 per cent and the orange crop damage 15 to 20 per cent.

Solons Move To Aid Battered Florida WASHINGTON, Oct. Iff. (p) Florida congressmen, moved speedily today to help solve problems created by heavy hurricane damage in their state. Although hampered by a lack of specific knowledge regarding losses, because they were unable to get telephone calls through to the state, they took a variety of preliminary steps. Sen.

Pepper, Democrat of Florida, wrote letters to heads of three government agencies asking this action to assist citrus growers: An immediate survey by CPA and War Food Administration of damage suffered; a reconsideration by OPA of citrus price ceil ings, in view of heavy crop de struction; a relaxation by the WPB of restrictions on use of tin, so the fruit can be salvaged in juice HEADACHE CiwiSi It's Uwlri.
