Burial in the cemetery ad joining St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Carlisle. 3 TUESDAY SECOND DAY TO REGISTER (Continued From Page I) intense drive made by that party last Thursday. Indicative of the Democratic drive and the tactics employed is the fate of six charmen at the Capitol, who held their jobs through many changing administrations.

They were instructed, they say, to quit work early to "get out the Democrats." They complied with orders, only to return to their jobs to find they had been dismissed. The men, all officials of the Wesley, Bethel and Second Baptist Churches, are George Johnson, Eighth ward; Benjamin Gray, Seventh ward; the Rev. Mr. Corbin, Seventh ward; Dennis Lipskin, Fifth ward; James Brockston, Eighth ward; Henry Baker, Sixth ward. Baker's dismissal had become known Friday night.

Democratic Rally Several hundred Democratic workers and leaders held a rally at the courthouse Saturday night, frhen plans were laid for another campaign to get out voters tomorrow. In charge of the meeting were members of the county executive committee: Guy J. Swope, county chairman; Ramsey s. Black, postmaster of Harrisburg, and J. Dress Pannell, Deputy Attorney General.

Speakers were Dr. G. W. Hart man, candidate for mayor, and Deputy Attorney General Patrick A. Kennedy, candidate for city coun CUMBERLAND CANDIDATE Chllders Studio.

JOHN H. WHITCOMB John H. who is i candidate for the Republican nomi nation for clerk of the courts and recorder of deeds of Cumberland county, was born on a farm in South Middleton township thirty' five years ago, the son of Harry C. and Mary Whitcomb. He spent his boyhood on his father's farm and attended the schools of South Middleton township at Boiling He learned the molder trade at the Frog, Switch and Manufacturing Com pany, Carlisle, and later became as sociated with the Bethlehem Steel Company where he was employed until 1926.

He then entered the mploy of the Valley Railways. While engaged in cleaning up and remov ing trolley tracks in September, 1931, in Mechanicsburg, a rail fell on him causing the amputation of his left leg above the knee. Unable to continue his former employment he operated a gas service station along uie rrincue Road, a mile east of Mechanicsburg which he still continues. cil. Other Democratic candidates for city and county offices were introduced.

A similar meeting will be held Thursday night at the courthouse. Registrars will sit tomorrow at city polling places to record permanent registration of city voters from 8 a. m. until noon, 1 to 6 p. m.

and 7 to 10 p. m. Accept Challenge Republicans are accepting the challenge of Democrats on their registration propaganda. Guy J. Swope, chairman of the Democratic County Committee, boasts that his party is just beginning to work and Republicans declare they will givs the opposition chairman plenty to do.

Capitol Hill hold overs in various departments are said to have been promised retention providing they registered themselves and twenty others Democratic. One dismissed employe is said to have been reinstated after enrolling over twenty of his friends. But it's no secret that many who registered Democratic will vote Republican in November. During the last two or three days stories are coming to the surface which indicate the desperate character of the registration by Democrats last Thursday, especially among workers on Capitol Hill. One janitor relates his experience: "I was given to understand that unless I registered as a Democrat I would lose my job.

I did so, but on reporting for duty Saturday I was given instant dismissal, notwithstanding the promise that had been made to me regarding registration. I know a least fifteen or twenty of my friends at the Capitol who received the same treatment. This morning I went to the office of the County Commissioners and changed my registration to Republican and feel better for having done so, although I was persuaded to register Democrat on Thursday in order to secure my employment." Another story related this morn ing in some detail had to do with a chap on the relief roll who was handed his check for the usual dole with a statement that unless he was active in the Democratic cause he would get no further relief. This is on all fours with stories that come from all parts of the State and country wherein unemployment xunos or the Nation are being used for campaign purposes by the Democrats. It is openly stated that there will be little or no public work under the Roosevelt program before the later part of October so that men out of work may be Induced to turn in for the Democratic ticket.

"I have never known in the history of the United States such a bald use of public funds for political purposes," said a Harris burger. "We are in the hands of desperate politicians who are going to do their best, or should I say worst, to continue the Roosevelt dynasty. How much longer the American people will stand for this sort of thing remains to be seen, out i suspect that we are coming to the end. Republicans in Harrisburg and Dauphin county are now on their toes and I look for a big Republican registration to morrow and next Saturday to overcome propaganda of the Democrats last Thursday." 4 WOMAN SEVERELY BEATEN BY THUG (Continued From Page 1) feet and walked to her home four blocks away where she was taken to the Polyclinic Hospital by a brother, Harvey.

DEADLOCK HAS CONGRESS WORRIED (Continued From Page 1) Saturday night only to fail in a spectacular session that ended just two minutes before midnight, believed almost anything might happen as this week opened in a mood of tired anti climax. Some said that, if the present deadlock is not broken soon, proponents of legislation previously sidetracked may get up steam in renewed drives for action that may prolong the session for days.

Others predicted a quick end tonight or tomorrow. (What caused the trouble was a deficiency bill, appropriating $93, 000,000, including $76,000,000 to start the new social security plan. The House passed it and the Senate added to it amendments directing the commodity credit corporation to lend 12 cents a pound on cotton and about 90 cents a bushel on wheat to farmers who wanted to hold their produce off the market.) AAA officials issued an order last week reducing the present 12 cent cotton loan to 9 cents, with an additional subsidy to make up the difference between the average market price and 12 cents. They never had made loans on wheat. They Insisted that either 12 cent cotton or 90 cent wheat loans would "wreck" the farm program.

Canceling plans for a trip down the Potomac yesterday, he stayed in the capital for consultation on the deadlock, which occurred after he had sent adjournment greetings congratulating legislators on a "historic session."

The future of Soviet American relations was thrown open to question in minds of many observers today as the united States awaited a reply to its stern note protesting what It termed "flagrant violation" of Rus slan pledges. It was noticed that the protest warned of "most serious conse' quences" if Russia failed to prevent Communist organizations on its soil or under its control from aiming to overthrow the Government of the United States.

Some observers read into the doc ument an emphatic warning that American recognition of Russia, which has been a subject of hot debate on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, might be withdrawn if the Russian government does not do all hi its power to halt Communist activities in the United States. The note itself, delivered by Ambassador William C. Bullitt in Moscow, did not go so far as to speak of possible breaking off of relations. It said the United States "anticipates the most serious consequences if the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 1s unwilling, or unable, to take appropriate measures to prevent further acts in disregard of the solemn pledge given by it to the Government of the United States." Recognition Clause Much appeared to depend on the nature of the reply which Moscow dispatches to Washington. When the reply will be received was not known here.

It was believed that perhaps the Kremlin would await the return to the Russia capital of, Maxim Litvlnoff, foreign commissar, now in Geneva in connection with the Italo Ethiopian troubles. The American note yesterday called attention to the pledges which Litvinoff gave to President Roosevelt in November, 1933, when Russia was recognized. In brief, Russia promised to prevent Communists under her control from interfering with internal affairs of the United States. The American note called atten tion to the recent meeting in Mos cow of the Communist Interna tional world organization of the party. Dispatches have been telling how speakers atthe Communist congress told of plans to intensify Red activity in America.

Attending the meeting were American Communist leaders, including Earl Brbwder and William Z. Foster, present and past heads respectively of the party in the United States, Congressmen have raised their mileage to 20 cents a mile. They should have it, if only to get them bade home sooner. PARENTS AND CHILDREN IN NEED (Continued From Page 1) Mr. Williams was unable to pay funeral expenses.

The other six children are Evelyn, 13; Ellen, 11; George, 10; Ruth, Carolyn, 4, and Mary, 3. Ill and Unemployed Mr. Williams, a carpenter, has had little employment for years. He had been earning $6 a week and supporting his family, but finished a small job on which he was employed He said he then obtained a Federal relief job at Marsh Run on the carpentry gang but developed lum bago after working for one week and could not continue. For four weeks he has had no in come, 'he added.

Because of his limited earnings in recent years, Mr. Williams said he could not carry insurance on his house and furni ture. The residence which burned was his birthplace. It was the prop erty of H. Miller, Lisburn under taker, since the death of his par ents.

Last year Williams obtained title to the property for approx imately $200 giving a note for it he said. Today his children could not re turn to the Cedar Grove school about two miles away because they did not have sufficient clothing. The family is being housed temporarily by his brother, Joseph Wil liams, whose meager income from a relief order is needed to care for himself, his wife and their two small children. The house in which Joseph and his family reside was built by Mer vin thirteen years ago from lumber which he gathered in New Cumberland. He had bought the ground for $30.

"If I can get any kind of usable lumber I. can soon build a shelter for my family," said Mr. Williams today. "We're going to get along somehow. Our neighbors have been kind to us but many of them have little to spare.

We lost everything in the fire except two chairs."

The long smouldering question of colonial possessions among the great powers assumed the menacing proportions of a rumbling Mount Vesuvius today.

Fear that Mussolini's African sortie might blow the volcanic lid off was accentuated by II Duce himself. The London Daily Mail quoted him as saying in an Interview: "The time has perhaps come to raise the question of colonies in all its implications. It would be to the benefit of all civilized states, especially those unjustly deprived of their share in the extraction of the wealth of the world."
