AL SMITH PEELS
COAT FOR FALL
ELECTION WAR
Washington (LP) Entrance of Al
fred E. Smith Into the congressional
campaign Thursday sounds the op
ening of a democratic offensive to
capture congress, witn prosperity a
the major Issue. Other national par
ty leaders will Join the battle over
the radio and on the stump.
Smith's dramatic re-appearance
with a statement stressing the pros
perity issue, and linking with it a
declaration against religious intol
erance and prohbitlon, follows sig
nificantly, an attack by Republican
House Floor Leader TUson on Chair
man John J. Raskob of the national
committee, Smith's friend and 1928
campaign manager.
Tilson's attack was lnterpretted
as a piece of republican strategy to
revive the split among democrats
over Raskob and Smith, which ap
peared chiefly in the south. Smith s
message to the West Orange, N. J.,
Joel Parker association, harks hack
to the Issues of the 12B campaign,
and Is a tvplcal Smith act in meet
ing the enemy with a forthright
challenge.
Beyond this personal element, his
entrance into the campaign repre
sents a decision among other party
leaders to bring him Into the heat
ed fall battle despite the likelihood
that it will revive the issues of the
1928 campaign.
They have weighed this possibil
ity and have decided that Smith's
ability as. a leader and as a speaker
with a wide appeal offsets it. Smith
Is expected to be called upon lor aa-
dr esses over a nationwide hook-up
in the next few weeks. Naturally, he
will attract large audiences, as he
did In the 1928 campaign.

Hope of Continuing
Reduced Income Tax
Rate in 1931 Fades
Washington (AP) Treasury officials see little pros
pect of maintaining for next year the reduction of one per
cent in income taxes which was allowed this year as an
emergency measure by congress.
Congressional action would be
necessary to extend the emergency
reduction over another year. Un
less action Is taken at the short
session beginning next December,
the tax rates enacted In 1928 would
apply on next year's taxes.
While the outlook Is not regarded
as hopeful for the lower tax scale.
Secretary Mellon said Thursday It
was too early to begin talking with
any deflnlteness about the tax situation.

Washington (LP) Results of the
Justice department's first month of
prohibition enforcement, showing
arrests continuing to exceed the ca
pacity of courts to try offenders
were made public Thursday by pro
hibition director, Amos W. W.
Woodcock.
The statistics related to the
month of July, the Justice depart
ment having assumed sesponslbility
for enforcement on July 1 when
Woodcock took office.
There were 22,173 cases pending
on the criminal dockets on July 1
in the 12 administrative districts,
the reports showed. During July,
6,524 prohibition arrests were made
and in 3,828 cases the arrested per
sons were held by U. s. commis
sioners for trials.
On August 1 the number of cases
pending had Increased to 22,497 or
324 more than on July 1. Wood
cock explained this increase was due
partially to the fact July is a va
cation month and many Judges were
away from their courts.
In the first month of the new
regime, Woodcock was able to list
1392 convictions, sentences aggre
gating 127.804 days in Jail and
fines totaling $218,752.48. There

DROUGHT LOSS
NOT AS SERIOUS
AS PORTRAYED
Kansas City, Mo. (LP) While com
mittees meet Thursday In mid
western states to consider means of
relieving farmers In the drought
sections, the Dally Drovers Tele
gram here expressed doubt that
conditions were as serious as por
trayed. -Farmers have beaten their "way
back from situations much more
distressing than at the present." the
Telegram stated in a front page edi
torial.
"A week ago there was not a
cheerful farmer In the middle west.
But then came the rains, and when
the smoke cleared away it is clear
ly seen that the structure of Am
erican agriculture was damaged
much less than was feared."
The Telegram expressed the opin
ion that drought of 1930 has been
"very much overplayed" in the
newspapers.
"There Is no reason for continued
exploitation of drought conditions,"
the editorial stated. "Dwellers In
the cities, who read the sensational
stories in the newspapers would
think that atarvation and ruin
reign supreme In the country, and
that the Red Cross will have to
send food and clothing to farmers
in a measure equal to former ac
tivities In the Near East."

SOVIET IMPORTS
TO BE DISCUSSED
Washington (P) Secretary Mel
lon and his subordinates have found
a problem In defining forced labor,
under the tariff act forbidding im
portation of articles so manufac
tured. They may call upon con
gress to settle it for them.
The view Is held at the treasury
that many articles being Imported
from Russia such as pulpwood and
manganese, do not compete directly
with American products and unless
there Is a distinct violation of the
law Involved, no harm Is done in al
lowing the Imports.
Assistant Secretary Lowman Is
going to make a thorough examina
tion of the complaint of the Man
ganese Producers association that
Russia is, dumping manganese in
this country. A hearing will be
held here Friday .
The' affidavits of Representative
Johnson, republican, Washington,
that Russia Is sending commodities
to this country manufactured "by
Soviet Induced labor" have not been
received by the treasury. Appar
ently this term is one which Mellon
