FOR GOVERNOR
Acting Governor Olson With
Nine Children Says His
Taxes are Unpaid
Meets Farmer Committee;
Refuses to Call Legislature;
Ousts Langer Appointees
BISMARCK, N. D., July 20.-(iP)
Definite announcement that Mrs.
William Langer would assume her
husband's place on the fall ballot,
In event of his disqualification.
and that investigation of the con
rlction of the ousted chief execu
tive would start In the house of
representatives tomorrow were
two political bombshells thrown
before a startled crowd here to
night.
The astonishing revelation from
acting Governor Ole H. Olson
that he had not been able to pay
his own taxes for two years
brought cheers today from 700
fanners who came here to heckle
him.
Stopped at the state house
steps by the bayonets of national
guardsmen, the marchers, led by
leaders of federal relief workers
striking for cash pay, sent in a
committee to ask Olson to con
vene a special session of the le
gislature and end the turmoil
caused by the removal of Gov.
William Langer by the state su
preme court.
Tears filling his eyes, Ol
son urged that the people "re
gain their calm" first, and then
he added:
"If there is widespread demand
then, certainly I will not stand
in the way of doing the thing my
people want me to do. I am one
of them. Their troubles ae my
troubles."
When the committee showed
disappointment and reported to
the crowd outside that Olson had
"turned them down," the dirt
farmer in the governor's office
went outside.
"I don't blamf 'Yott "for com
plaining about conditions among
farmers," he told the visitors from
North Dakota's drought-stricken
counties. "I have nine children
to support, and I feel that food
for their mouths is more import
ant and a greater duty than pay
ing taxes."
The members of the Farm Hol
iday association cheered him and
left "quietly and peaceably," as
he asked them to do.
There they gathered later In
the evening near a hotel to hear
several speakers, among them
Mrs. William Langer, wife of the
deposed governor.
Political heads rolled as Olson,
lieutenant-governor until desig
nated by the supreme court to
replace Langer, hewed out "pay
rollers" loyal to the man convict
ed of defrauding the government
by soliciting a percentage of the
pay of men on federal relief jobs.
Olson ordered removal of Ste
phen Horst, director of the regu
latory department. James Mul
loy, secretary of the state indus
trial and securities commissions,
handed in his resignation.

MANORVILLE. Pa., July 20.-
(Jfj-The 60 striking workers of
the National Mirror Specialty
company are in a quandary.
A committee of five marched
Into the office of Leon H. Sam
uels, owner, and declared:
"We demand an eight -hour
day, a five day week and a mini
mum wage of 30 cents an hour."
The "boss" shook his head,
thought a while and said:
"Tell you what I'll do. I'll
turn the plant over to you. You
do the managing, fix the hours
to work, take your wages out of
the profits and pay me a salary
as a salesman."
After a hurried conference the
men said they didn't have suf
ficient managerial experience.
"Then how do you expect a
man with experience to do some
thing you cant do? asked
Samuels.
The committee thought some
more and then decided:
"We'll be back later."
They hurried to Pittsburgh to

Mayor Charles L. Smith, 300 po
lice today swept 2000 longshore
men from the waterfront in a
dramatic battle, and opened the
docks to rail transportation of
supplies from ships.
The battle was a brief bedlam
of banging gas pistols, swishing
grenades, cracking clubs and clat

slightly hurt by tear and nausea

riot sticks or rocks, but only
three officers and half a dozen
strikers were reported treated in
hospitals. The strikers carried
away most of their own injured.
After hurrying the strike pick

which they prevented trains from

non-union workers are unloading
and loading nine ships, the po
lice launched a series of raids, ar

WASHINGTON, July 20.-UPW
The blue eagle went back to the
Harnman Hosiery mills today but
left a wake of violent dissension
in NRA ranks over an agreement
which some officials said "repu
diated" Hugh S. Johnson's previ
ous stand.
Those in charge during John
son's absence refused publicly to
discuss the troublesome Tennes
see case but there were many hur
ried conferences and these disclos
ures were made.
The agreement to restore the
blue eagle to the idle Harriman
mills was negotiated by A. R.
Glancy, field compliance adminis
trator, and was signed by him
without Johnson's knowledge of
its specific terms.
George L. Berry, division ad
ministrator, who was designated
by Johnson to handle the Harri
man case was not consulted, on
the agresjnent and was ignorant
of its Wms until after Glancy
signed.
Berry was dissatisfied with the
agreement.
Harriman strike representa
tives apparently were not consult
ed about provisions which allow
them 30 days to accept the settle
ment or forfeit its re-employment
provisions.
Whether or not Glancy's signa
ture was binding was inquired into
by other officials.

37 Deaths Due to Heat; High
Temperature Reported
at 114 Degrees
By The Associated Press
More than 70 deaths had been
recorded last night as the severe
heat wave engulfing the plains
between the Appalachian and
Rocky mountains continued un
abated for the second day with
little prospects of general relief.
Mexico, Mo., checked in with
yesterday's highest reading, 114
degrees. Pierre, S. D., had 113,
and Carlinville, ni., and Leaven
worth, Kan., each 112. Other
high marks of 110, were reached
at Columbia, Mo., and at Ottum
wa, la. Lafayette, Ind., had 106,
Springfield, 111., 105. and St.
Louis 109. The blazing sun
burned new records for the sum
mer, pushing the mercury a few
unpleasant fractions higher 1 n
some places than in Thursday's
sizzling prelude.
The great plains, withered,
wilted and crying for rain, suf
fered the most. In Lincoln, Neb-
it was 10T degrees, intensifying
the most critical crop condition
and water-famine in years. Kan
sas City also sweltered at 107 de
grees.
At least 37 deaths were attrib
uted to the furious heat yester
day. Thirteen died in Chicago,
one in Jollet, 111.; seven in Ne
braska; two in Kansas; five in
Iowa; one in New York and two
in Minnesota.

-Without a single show of vio
