Ten Tons Of Butter In Crash International Service BEAVER FALLS, Sept. 30. Ten tons of butter was scattered along the Steffin Hill road when a heavy truck and trailer ran wild down the hill and upset a few feet from the culvert at the bottom. The driver and his assistant, "who were uninjured, told police the truck was swerved to the side of the road to let a car pass, 6lipped out of gear, and ran wild down the incline.

The butter, consigned to Pitta-burgh by a Chicago firm, was salvaged and shipped to Pittsburgh. From Page One games at New York, will be resumed tomorrow with the Yankees holding two victories and needing only two more to capture their fourth world championship. After twenty hours spent in travel, the two clubs were to arrive today, the Cubs at 2.45, Eastern Standard Time, and the Yankees at 2.55. For the Yankees, the intermission was an unwelcome respite from their triumphant march over the befuddled National League champions. For the Cubs it was a great relief from the sad events of the last two days and an opportunity to gather their forces for a spirited comeback.

The Yankees have the Cubs on the run, and plan to keep, them there until they close out another World Series victory in four straight games-i-a feat they accomplished in 1927 against the Pirates and again in 1928 against the Cardinals. But the Yanks may find the Cubs at home a radically different opponent from the blundering, almost pathetic ball club which fell before the American League champions at Yankee Stadium, 12-6 and 5-2. The surroundings at Wrigley Field liave a strange effect on the Cubs. They play like a well-oiled, smooth functioning machine on their home grounds, with their pitchers performing to the peak of their ability and their hitters swinging deadly bludgeons. With their two most formidable pitchers, Guy Bush and Lon War-neke, beaten, their batsmen with the shining exception of Riggs Stephenson rendered helpless by the Yankee pitchers, Red Ruffing and Vernon Gomez, the Cubs' outlook is far more dismal than it was when they made their great comeback to win the National League pennant.

Cubs Are Not Quitters Past performances show the Cubs have performed their best when the odds against them were the greatest. They are not quitters. Two World Series pitchers of other years have been selected to oppose each other in the third game. George Fipgras, the Denni-son, Iowa, farmer boy who became a great pitcher under the tutelage of the late Miller Huggins, will be on the firing line for the Yankees. Charlie Root, out of Middietown, Ohio, who reached his greatest fame under the direction of Joe McCarthy, when the Yankee manager was at the helm of the Cubs, will attempt to stem the New York advance, for the Cubs.

Pipgras never has lost a World Series game, and Root never has won one.

J. Walker to appeal in a dramatic appearance before 32,000 Democratic committeemen for renomina- tion as mayor of New York. The committeemen, most of them at least, are old admirers of the dapper New Yorker who resigned before a decision on removal charges against him. They might be swayed easily by the wisecracking, nimble-witted former mayor who has been at his best in a rough and tumble convention debate or crowd. The decision, which has muddled the mayoralty situation, in America's largest city, was handed down by the appellate division courts which heard an appeal from a lower court which held that Mayor Joseph V.

McKee was entitled to his job until January 1, 1934. The appellate court decided, four to one, against that ruling, interpreting the law in effect to have intended that in case of a vacancy in the office, the electorate should be entitled to name a successor at the earliest possible moment. The dissenting opinion held that the "dominant thought" of theframers of the constitution was that a city mayoralty election should not conflict with state and national elections. The ruling will be appealed to the state court of appeals.

ROTARIANS HEAR DEAN CARLISLE, Sept 30. Responsi- mnty ior social control rests with the home, rhnrrh and school, all of which are partially responsible for the prevalent lawlessness. Dean W.

H. Hitchler, of the Dickinson School of Law, said yesterday in address ing the Carlisle Rotary Club, TWO KILLED IN CAMP HILL CRASH From Page One rims and tires, and Ellis Car-mack, of Fort Loudon, driver, were jolted by the collision, but escaped serious injury. Morton suffered a bump on his forehead when hurled against the windshield of his truck, which was broken. Car- mack suffered a contusion on his chin, which struck the steering wheel. The accident occurred at 4.30 o'clock this morning in front of the home of Clyde Fisher, 3421 Market street, Camp Hill, which is about a block west of the point where the trolley tracks of the Valley Railways turn.

Both machines were proceeding toward this city, according to Morton, who is employed by the All-State Freight Corporation. Both machines were moving as the crash occurred. The coupe knocked the left wheel off the truck and jammed underneath the body of the truck. The engine of the coupe was forced back against the seat of the car wedging its occupants tightly against the body of the car. Mummaw received a bad gash over his right temple.

His jaw was broken and his chin was almost severed. He also is believed to have suffered internal injuries. Mrs. Martin, in addition to probable internal injuries, suffered a crushed left leg. Fisher and George Myers, a neighbor, extricated the bodies from the car.

The ambulance of the Harrisburg Hospital was summoned, but the occupants of the coupe were dead, when the ambulance arrived. At the Myers home today, Morton, who remained here to arrange for the repair of his truck, said that his truck carried five rear lights. In the collision four of the lights were extinguished. One of the red lights still was in operation after the collision. He said that the lights were inspected only a short time prior to the accident, in one of the periodic inspections that are required to be made by truck drivers each 200 miles.

Red Tag on Car A card found in Mummaw's nocket indicated that he had violated Harrisburg traffic ordinances. Authorities were unable to learn the cause of the accident. One opinion was that Mummaw fell asleep at the wheel. The bodies were removed to the mortuary of Herman L. Hoffmire, Camp Hill.

Coroner William S. Ruch said an inquest will be held Thursday morning at 9.30 o'clock in the Camp Hill fire house. Mummaw is survived by his step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Webb Reed, of Gordonville; two brothers, Clarence and Lee, and a sister, Mrs.

Arthur Is credited with finding himself whan he becama President. He nro mnted reforms and refused to be a whis-oerlne President. Practically all of the others named hava been confused and handled by soe-cial interests, it seems, from not having tha solitude and knowledge of executive atatesmanshin that Presidents who hava been governors usually have had.

Their administrations brought confusion. Pierce haa been called a connerhead because he was from the North and backed Southern slave Interests. That was as natural as for big business to control our weak Presidents of late years. Our leadershln has been weak since 1920. The most nerslslent wealth has always controlled our weak Presidents and formed their policies.

Theodore Roosevelt. Woorlrow Wilson snd Calvin Coolldse served as governors and the majority wsre outstanding Presidents. Tyler. McKlnlev and Conlltlgs gave In to snecial interests more than the others. Eight of these twelve served two terms or in two terms.

Polk declined a aecond term. Haves withdrew the armies from the South and did not trv to force renornination. ln-atead ha left the Nation in a much Improved condition over Grant's misleading. Johnson waa an able and luat President who could not control the oDuosi-tlon when he tried to carry out Lincoln's slana In treating the South as if they had not withdrawn from the Union. Cleveland has often been wrongly blsmert for conditions in 18t)3.

Two large New York banks had gone broke before he took the chair the second term. Cleveland nersuaded Congress to reneai a law. signed bv Ken.lamtn Harrison, for buying a large ouautitv of silver each month, which waa UDsettlnc the gold standard. Coolldge out out a fine Forestry Week Proclamation In 181I8. stating In part: "We can not permanently abuse our forests with impunity.

Much of this land la already idle. More of it la being made Idle bv destructive logging and fire." Roosevelt and Wilson were vigorous public-minded leadera who got results. Contrast those policies with the Ballanger controversy over public, lands under Taft: the oil frauda under Harding: President Hoover trying to give the public lands away, and vou can nee that the United Slates Chamber of Commerce leadera have perauaded these confused unqualified Presidents. I believe the history of our Presidents and their noll-cies prove that th presidency la too complex for anyone who haa not been governor of a state and led that Mate with marked executive ability and statesmanship. 1 believe our national security depends en electing outstanding governors for Presidents in the future.
