Sunday at La Chapelle, N. M. KINGPIN OF NRA BOWLED OVER WEEK AGO (Continued From Page One) to Washington instead of going straight to Hyde Park. He saw Johnson again and the break was healed. He did insist, however, that the General take two weeks rest, and Johnson consented and departed for the beach.

At the end of the two weeks he will see the President at Hyde Park, and they will settle details of the new NRA set-up. And in it the fiery soldier will have first rank. This does not break between Richberg Presimeanine dent, or between Miss Perkins and the President. Mr. Roosevelt highly regards the Secretary of Labor.

He greatly admires Richberg, and will have other work for him should he retire from NRA. He even is said to have him in mind for elevation, some day, to the Supreme Court. ROOSEVELT IS WORRIED ABOUT LIBERTY LEAGUE (Continued From Page One) unsound fiscal policies and reckless spending. The cost of living is going up and wages are not rising fast enough to keep pace. The answer that business makes is that economic progress is being retarded by experiments that are unsound and by restrictions that are chiefly the fanaticism of Socialistic-minded persons and do not constitute sound programs that will bring recovery.

A Significant Uprising The American Liberty League is the most significant uprising in the business world which has come in our times. It is not a realignment of political parties, because the men high in the Republican and Democratic ranks who are in the movement do not regard it as a political move. The tactics are the same as those used by blocs heretofore--an enlistment of persons in both parties and effective campaigning for or against candidates who happen to be in favor of or against sound economics, as the case may be. Minority blocs have dominated majority votes before. The AntiSaloon League was the first to use this strategy.

The repeal of prohibition was brought about through exactly the same process by The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. Minority Can Lead If all the people voted in elections, the power of minority blocs would be reduced to a minimum. But a minority bloc, if well financed and intelligently directed, can sway public aminion in districts and defeat canelect them, according to the bloc's demands. The Liberty League has as its main purpose the election of candidates to Congress who shall, among other things, oppose currency inflation and unsound fiscal policies. Mr.

Roosevelt Will, be helped by such a campaign. fact, it probably will turn out that the American Liberty League will aid in consolidating sentiment against those in Congress who would force the President, if they could, to an extreme left position. And, if the League is successful in enrolling millions of members, the chances are its influence will be felt in the 1936 Congressional campaign, which means that, along about next January, the Senators C.

HOUND STATION and Representatives will know that back home there's a -sentiment being developed in favor of sound economic proposals. It might conceivably happen, of course, that, irrespective of the outcome of the Presidential contest in 1936, a Congress pledged to the American Liberty League's economic program may be elected or a sufficient number of block radical legislation. The League will not be laughed off or disposed of with epithets of scorn or shafts of ridicule. It has entered a long fight because it believes basic principles are at stake. And, when virile men pledge themselves in such a struggle, one may be sure something serious has happened in the controversy over social and economic problems growing out of the depression.

TEXTILE STRIKE ABOUT SEPT. 4 SEEMS CERTAIN. (Continued From Page One) do everything possible to bring peace in a situation which carries a threat to the Roosevelt recovery program. The board, however, cannot compel arbitration. Gorman and Garrison have conferred several, times, and are expected to meet again today.

Definite word that the date for the strike had been settled was sent to President William Green of the American Federation of Labor by Gorman last night. Mayfield News MAYFIELD, Aug. 27-(Special) Williams and Tom Jones, Negroes, are in jail, accused of the looting of the home of Aubrey Sellars in southwest Mayfield last Thursday night.

Not one of the pieces of furniture has been found, with the exception of a dresser, which had been placed behind the Dunbar high school building across We street.

Saturday, September 1. N. Y. Stocks NEW YORK, Aug. 27-(P) -Financial markets were in a different mood today with prices moderately lower in relatively quiet trading.

While there was no especial pressure on I the general run of stocks, bids were lower, in most categories. New York Traction issues were an exception. Grains unable to attract substantial support, losses of a cent or more a bushel were suffered by the majority. Cotton eased. Bonds moderately irregular.

The dollar displayed renewed strength in terms of leading European gold currencies. Commission house commentators were fairly optimistic, but much backing and filling was anticipated over the next week or so. The fact that activity dwindled appreciably on the selling flurries was encouraging to some who felt that the apparent scarcity of stocks would sooner or later whet the public filing of the railroads' appetition with the Interstate Commerce Commission tor rate increases totaling some 000,000 annually did not arouse any particular enthusiasm among holders' carrier equities. The financial district had little expectation, that the threatened textile strike next week would be averted, although hope was expressed in some quarters that last minute intervention by Washington might halt the walkout.

DEBATE STATUS OF F.D.R., SMITH, SINCE LEAGUE IS FORMED Capital Wonders If Pair, Once Co-Workers, Have Come to Ways' Parting WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 -(P) The capital wondered today whether the Democracy's one-time Damon and Pythias "Frank" and having just another tiff or have parted for good. Tomorrow's meeting in New York of the American Liberty League's executive committee is awaited for whatever it may contribute to the answer.

The question predominated among the many that have arisen since President Roosevelt's jolly but cool reception to the union of property owners fathered by Alfred E. Smith, John W. Davis, James W. Wadsworth, Jouett Shouse and others. The meeting possibly will be held in Smith's office in the Empire State Building.

The Smith affiliations with the new forum for property interestsand the White House hints that this organization forgets the rights of people in its uneasiness over the prospects for property-led to conjecture as to whether what happened two years ago could or would happen again in 1936. In 1932 Al Smith, old-time coworker with Roosevelt, left the Chi. cago convention a defeated and disconsolate contender for the Presitential nomination. But he ultimately proved one of the strongest Roosevelt campaigners in the North Atlantic states. It was case again of "Frank" and "Al," it had been back in 1924 and 1928 when Roosevelt extolled Smith as the "Happy Warrior." Whatever the cause, the two men haven't be been as close to each other as in the old days.

Smith has been conspicuously absent from White House councils and has evidenced distrust of basic New Deal experiments, such as the one he called "the boloney dollar." Now "The Happy Warrior" is aligned with a fighting organization expected to take issue, or later, with some of the Roosevelt constitutional and economic philosophy. Despite its non-partisan flavor underrate the political might that it may come to wield. made clear that it would carry its case to the people and the polling places. That this may possibly mean something of a showdown between Roosevelt and Smith appears obvious. Mrs.
