Famous Star To Appear In Person At State Theatre Saturday Gene Austin, celebrated stage, radio, and screen star will be presented at four shows at the State Theatre this Saturday. The shows will be at 2:30. 4:30, 7:30. and this Is the first time that the State has presented a top-flight movie star in a personal appearance here.

With flee to discuss a third party and a third term, John L. Lewis did some lusty barking in Pittsburg as to jwhal th Dernoci1Uc party must do. One of the things that it "must" do, on his order, is to get rid of Mayor Hague of Jersey City, and Governor Martin Davey, of Ohio. Old Hague has been blocking the CIO in Jersey City, will not let it come in. His method Is not commendable but the people of the city appear to demand this stand and if the rule of the majority Is any sanction, Hague can claim that much in support of his action.

The objection to Governor Davey is thst he out troops to break up a reign of terror staged by men who claimed to be CIO leaders in Ohio towns. The American people will not tolerate such riots In the name of any organisation. A strike If orderly is legal, to be sure, but when it com to shooting and actually killing people who want to work, that is another matter. NOT VERY EFFECTIVE An Associated Press dispatch of Sunday Informs that of the forty-three candidates for election to the national House of Representatives denounced by the CIO only two were defeated. That is of forty-three which the CIO wanted defeated only two were defeated.

The CIO claims, on the other hand, that of the one hundred and eight candidates it endorsed, ninety-eight were elected and one hundred defeated. the comfortable purist in English, Government Forces Starting Advance HENDAYE, France (At the Spanish Frontier.)

Lewis, head of th CIO, says this country peds "a broad economic planning by ovemment. And possibly he thinks If John I Lewis were In. charge, somewhat Ilk Stalin, that the success of the Idea would be assured. Professor Raymond Moley. a former head man Jii the Roosevelt "Brain Trust" was quoted here Sunday as saying that one of the eight reasons for the spanking given the New Deal in last Tuesday's ejections was its marked favoritism toward the CIO: There are still million of Americans who hare hoJRed- tendencies and who will not stand for sit-down strikes invented by CIO leaders.

EXTREME IRONY The Jew of Berlin whose shops were wrecked by a rioting mob have received from the Nasi government a "bill" for the. damages done by the mob. That is either an extreme piece of Irony or an effort at being humorous which is beyond the mind "of the rest of the civilised world. BLOW TO COTTON it i- Yesterday the Associated Press told of another modern mechanical marvel. A new Drooess for spirimg rayon has been perfected and a big plant, located on Lake Erie in Ohio, using thla process will Jpen this week.

The new process is designed to spin and finish thread eight hundred times faster than lit methods -sed for generations. Think of that eight hundred times faster than JJias ever been used before in spinning! a In the cotton growing area the news will bring Ju joy. It is another blow to Old Man Cotton, a There should be this consolation to the man Jsvlth land: Land will always produce food. And man will always need food. The man with his Sown supply of food can stand a lot of business hard JJuck.

HAS THE REACTION COME? v- i Some political observers think the recent election tVhows definitely that th reaction in American po-q lltlcar affairs has come and that a Repuoucan i in 1940 is ineviuoie. Walter Lippman Is one of those who think thlsl away. Lippman was editor of the old New York JWorld for a long time and is a real "liberal" In aehought But he Is a practical and sane "llberal' 2 he knows the world has been here a long tlroei und cannot be reformed overnight. 2 It would be possible for President Roosevelt maka a change or policy now ana avert tne pros-Jpect of Democratic defeat in 1940. He will not avert ihto he Insist on the Hop-' Jjyns-Ickes-Corcoran system of handling things.

It would be well to realise that reforms are not eonade permanent if too much be attempted at one ume. 1 at And there should be an end of so much talk that jfthe "relief system is used to bolster the Democratic party in power. 2 If Lippman is right it is too late now to attempt "a change in policy. The American people, in his "view, are more than fed up on Impractical re-forms and on political use of Federal funds for party advantage. inn i i in 'ii SHAPING UP THIRD, PARTY?

I was one of its thousands of customers. One morning I found the gateway barred by a sign, saying simply: "Closed." There had been no prevous notice, and the snorting shovels were nlready at work. Half a dozen cars that had been parked since the previous af ternoon, were being shunted out of the way by the lone attendant.

I found him uncommunicative. Probably the poor fellow was losing his' job, and he may have had no more' notice than the rest of us.

Louis Selbold, one of the best-known news writers of the World War era, now lives quietly at the Manhattan Club, in Madison ave-l nue. Friends say one of Selbold's greatest feats was the killing of a' good exclusve story for his news- paper. It was at the close of the Wilton administration, and Selbold represented the New York World in Washington. Seated at lunch at the Willard hotel on a day Just preceding the inauguration of President Harding, Selbold was handed a private message from the White House, lie passed it over to his luncheon companion, Charles' E. Lincoln, also of the World.

"Great story, Louis; welt scoop the world With it!" said Lincoln, according to the story which was told me lately by an old friend of both men. "I'm sorry" replied Selbold, "but we mustn't print it. And I'm going right over the White House." He went, spent sn hour in earnest conversation with President and Mrs. Wilson. The story never was printed.

It was Wilson's announcement. made to Selbold, his personal friend, that he would refuse to ride with the Incoming President at the Inaugural next day. Selbold and Mrs. Wilson succeeded In convincing the President that he should ride with Harding, despite his dislike for him. Thus the ancient custom of the outgoing arid incoming Presidents riding together remained unbroken.

Editorial Comment LOOKS LIKE CHOPPY SEAR From Spartanburg Journal. The outlook for smooth sailing and happy landings as regards the chief executive and congress during the remaining period of Roosevelt's second term is not rosy. The Republican gains and the Democrats not In wholehearted sympathy with the presidential alms and purposes create a bloc that has the power to delay, squelch or defeat major measures if the coalition functions.

That is why hews stories subsequent to the general election Indicate a demand that, the president face to the "right" when he confronts a new congress next January. If his messages and advices carry a predominate note of "radicalism," as his opponents designate several cf his purposes, he will doubtless face rough sledding and little headway, and may finally find himself in the plight of other presidents whose popularity, prestige and Influence wane in proportion as his tenure of office ebbs to an end. Mr. Roosevelt has the faculty of keeping his own coun- sel and acting upon his own convictions, however amenable he may, be to conferring and taking counsel and suggestions from those of his intimate i GERMANY'S UNDYING SHAME From Spartanburg Herald. 'Jl Th Nasi government and its mobs seem to have tost all reason and all sense of Justice and humanity.

The atrocities against Jews committed 'th Germany and Austria yesterday and the day before have shocked all civilization. They are the refinement of cruelty. They also are notice to other nations that the Nazi government knows no mercy, that it lives by force and that it will tolerate no criticism of iu acts. The Jewish people have been subjected to many indignities, to much cruelty, to dire hardships since the days of Babylon; but never In- history have the Hebrew people suffered such bewildering natred and nearness cruelty as that visited upon them by Adolf Hitler and his government. The Hebrew race survived the servitude in Babylon and Babylon later was destroyed.

Only crumbled ruins' mark the place where that proud city stood. The Jews survived the Inquisition in Spain and In a few centuries Spain became A second-rate nation and has so existed to the present day. Hitler might take warning from the history of other nations that have tortured the Jewish race. It cannot be believed that civilisation will continue to permit the monstrous crimes against humanity now are taking place in the new Oermany. RHYMES, ir YOU CAN SWING IT From Spartanburg Journal.
