tion or resolution having to do with
endorsement of a national political
party "shall be out of order at all
times during this convention."
Arbuckle added that his decision
represented the unanimous view of
the Townsend board of directors.
Arbucltle's-ruung was similar to a
resolution adopted yesterday de
claring the convention to be non
runTtsan. The- same resolution in
vite the presidential candidates' of
the democratic, republican and so
cialist party to speak before the
delegates.
A message from the republican
candidate. Gov. Alf M. Landon of
Kansas, was read to the convention
saying that while he . appreciated
the Invitation it would be Impos
sible to make any address of this
kind until after my acceptance of
the nomination."
President Roosevelt also sent a
message saying he would be unable
to appear. The answer signed by a
secretary said: "Your; telegram of
invitation for the president to ad
dress your meeting in Cleveland is
acknowledged with , thanks. The
president, however. Is not now In
Washington and is not scheduled
to return here until August. It is
not. therefore, possible for him- to
accept your invitation." 1 ' -
Oomer Smith delivered a speech
late yesterday at the Townsend na
tional convention in which he at
tacked Father Charles E. Coughlln.
who earlier had called President
Roosevelt a "betrayer and a liar."
The Oklahoman also attacked-the
Rev. Oerald L. K. Smith, leader of
the Share-the-Wealth movement,
and a Townsend director. Gomer
-Smith said he was for Roosevelt.
Last night Dr. Townsend said he
wanted Gomer Smith to resign.
Dr. Townsend was asked whether
his statement meant Corner Smith
is "out."
"It does," answered Dr. Town
send. It was learned that Dr. Townsend
submitted an ultimatum to the board
of directors either Smith must go or
he (Dr. -Townsend) would resign.
The directors were to discuss the sit
uation further this' afternoon.
Previously some board members
had indicated that no action would
be taken during the convention on
Dr. Townsend 's proposal that Go
mer Smith be ousted. Gomer Smith
has many friends among the dele
gates, but Townsend leaders were
determined that the matter should
not reach the convention floor.
Earl Anderson, head of the Texas
delegation, said that his state's
delegation had adopted" resolu
tion protesting . any convention
speeches attacking the president of
the United State. Another resolu
tion, he said, asked that Gerald L.
K. Smith be restrained from speak
ing in Texas.
In an interview, today Robert E.
Clements, who recently resigned as
Townsend secretary and treasurer,
said the Townsend plan was being
taken over by political opportun
ists." N. S. Roberts of Florida, southern
regional director, tola the conven
tion that "those of us who are dem
ocrats in the ranks of the Townsend
movement do not subscribe to any
attacks branding President Roose
velt as a double-crosser, a liar or a
betrayer."
He referred to the criticism voiced
against the president and the new
deal yesterday by Father coughlin.
The delegates were treated to a
new kind of oratory today when
Miss Aliene Klaiber, of Indiana, a
very earnest - young . lady, shouted,
the challenge." under the Town
send youth movement to which the
opening part of the session was de
voted. . - '
Miss Xlalber preaclud the Town
send slogan of "Work for youth and
age for leisure." and its goal of $200
monthly pensions for the aged.
"We of the younger generation
are not saying to them (congress
men! 'Will you pass the Townsend
plan' we are saying 'Pass the Town
send plan'" asserted Miss Klaiber
tossing her dark hail.
Miss Klaiber was followed by Al
bert Giles, of Cleveland, who deliv
ered "the answer, and told the con
vention that youth would "dedicate
its lives to the destruction of social
and economic injustice-"
He brought the audience to Us
' feet saying as he concluded "We
will go forever forward with our
leader. Dr. Francis E. Townsend, and
Townsend is our cry."
Miss Lois Johnson, 16. of Los An
geles, told the responsive delegates
that "God has sent us a man who
will lead us to victory if we stand
loyal." ' - .
"The -answer to youth's present
question is there any future for me
under the present situation? is no.
Under the Townsend plan, the an
swer is 'Yea,' " asserted Miss John
son. She lauded the president for the
CCC program "taking young men
off the streets." but added that the
cluiian conservation corps "1 no
permanent solution."
Raymond Moley, tne former Co
lumbia prolessor, now editor of a
national magazine, was In the press
section and watched tlie proceedings
with interest. Moley m the first of
a serlea- of close advisers to Presi
dent Roosevelt.
Moley said "This is a great show."
A prolonged demonstration was
touched off as Chairman Arbuckle
led a short, smiling m-oman from the
rear of the platform and presented
to the delegates 'the sweetheart of
the Townsend delegatesMrs. Fran
cis E. Townsend."
The- wife of the old age pension
leader smiled broadly as ihe dele
'gaten Steered her.

Gov. Olson Safely
Through Operation
Rochester. Minn, July 17 IIP)
Gov. Floyd B. Olson, leader of Min
nesota's farmer-labor party, suc
cessfully underwent an operation at
the Mayo clinic yesterday.
The operation was performed in
an effort to build up the waning
strength of the governor. A chron
ic ailment and the Intense heat of
recent weeks had caused the execu
tive to lose weight and vitality,
hospital attendants said.
ASSAILANT OF
KING ASSERTS
HE THREW GUN
'Copyriiht. 1938, br A'soclatrd Prrsi) .
London, July . 17 George Andrew
McMahon, whose loaded revolver
menaced King . Edward yesterday,
said today the weapon was not
knocked from his hand in -the strug
gle on Constitution Hill but that he
deliberately threw it into the street
near the king as the monarch rode
by.
This version was relayed by an
authoritative -source- who said- the
bald, club-footed Irishman told po
lice he never- had the least Inten
tion of shooting the king.
McMahon was taken to a hospital
ward for mental observation and
medical treatment.
In an effort to get a clear account
of the incident, Scotland Yard
sent out a call for volunteer wit
nesses. Scores of spectators respon
ded, streaming in to be Interviewed
by police officials.
McMahon s fate may lie with the
still mysterious "woman in grey"
who, witnesses said, knocked the
prisoner's revolver from his hand as
the king rode before a militia parade
yesterday:
It was believed she was able to tell
the true story of McMahons at
tempt, but the police did not make
her name public and they were said
to be shielding her from public
jcontacts. until the prisoner appears
in court next week.
Rumors circulated that the wo
man is an -American.
King Edward, seemingly uncon
cerned by the apparent attempt on
his life, busied himself with the
usual affairs of state at York House
while - messages- of congratulation
poured in from the whole world.
McMahon was identified as an
Irishman, the son of John Bannl
gan of Glasgow, The father said his
son's original name was Jerome
Bannigan, but that it was changed
three years ago.
One official stated the exact
charges on which McMahon would
be tried would depend upon the evi
dence gathered. -
Under-the present charge-, that
of unlawful possession of "a loaded
revolver with intent to endanger
life and property," the prisoner
faces a maximum penalty of 20 years
imprisonment.
Public tribute for blocking Mc
Mahon was divided about evenly
between the "woman In grey" and
Anthony Gordon Dick, a special
constable."
Both the woman and Dick were
variously credited with being the
first to reach McMahon and knock
away his gun.

The afternoon session was opened
with an Invocation by the Rev. W
H. Jackson, a negro minister, im
mediately afterward Chairman Ar
buckle warned the delegates that
since the Townsend movement Is
"based on Character It is a fertile
field for a chlseler, the grafter,
crooks, cheaters, self seeking politi
cians and others of that ilk."
Dempster O. Potts of Wichita.

"Lord forgive ns all for any ui-
fecllng we may have for anv man.

Potts then suggested that each

illness of Lord Tweedsmuir. who is
being treated for a stomach disor
der at his official summer residence
here on Citadel Hill.
While the governor-general has
cancelled all appointments until the
time of Mr. Roosevelt's arrival,
there Is nothing to indicate that
he will not be able to go through
with the proposed program that day.
Prime Minister Mackenzie King,
Adellard Godbout, prime minister
of Quebec, and members of their
cabinets, dressed in court attire, will
welcome Mr. Roosevelt. Dlgnataries
of the church in flowing gowns and
scarlet-robed Judges of the supreme
court also will attend. A detach
ment of the governor general's body
guard in plumed helmets and red
and gold tunics-will form aiuard
of honor. A 21 gun salute will be
fired from the citadel.
Brief speeches by the welcoming
committee may be made on the
station platform. The official party
then will make a tour of the city,
visiting places of historic Interest.
The president will proceed to the
governor general's residence, where
he will be greeted by Lord Tweeds-
muir.
Not even tentative plans have
been announced for the afternoon.
It Is known, however, that President
Roosevelt will be Lord Tweedsmulr's
guest for dinner that night and later
entrain for New York.
While the attempted attack on
King Edward yesterday focused new
attention on the problem of pro
tecting heads of states, 'officials
here feel their arrangements for
safeguarding Mr. Roosevelt - are
fully adequate. In addition to the
United States secret service men
who accompany the president every
where a guard of Royal Canadian
Mounted police will be provided.
President Roosevelt has visited
Canada before on trips to his Camp
obello summer home. but . never of

Open Forum,

May I thank you for your market
report on prunes in' la&t night's
Capital Journal and the general ex
cellency and accuracy of such re
ports.
Your article states: "The present
futures market on the northwest
canned prune finds many of the
canners quoting prices even below
last year, but with an ever incrcas
inat prospect of higher yrlces to the
grower." The committee appointed
by Governor Martin In session in -
Salem this week found that the
sales of canned prunes are being
confirmed at these low prices. If
such sales, are being confirmed. I
wonder by .what magic it will mean
'higher price to the grower." Ear-,
ly sales have been made by some
canners that would Justify their
paying $20.00 a ton to the grower
and then show them a good profit.
The CHISEL ER enters the mar
ket having bought his supplies on
'market price contracts and .
price war ensues.- Grower, canner.
banker, and the entire business
community lose, markets are de
moralized and thai condition di-,
rectly affects the dried fruit mar
ket as both commodities are dis-'
tributed through the same chan
nels.
The next session of the legislature
will be called upon to enact regu
latory measures governing contract
between producers and manufac-.
turers. However, this is an indus
try problem and any permanent im
provement In conditions calls for
industry cooperation. The commun
ity should be proud of the fine spir
it of industry cooperation worked
out by the loganberry growers this ,
year. Buyer, seller, and the com
munity have profited by their work
ing together and all factors de
serve praise and thankful recogni
tion. The same plan Is presented, to the
prune grower and today the buyer
asks his cooperation in establishing
and maintaining fair values for his
product. No new laws are needed,
no amendments to the constitution,
all we need is a willingness' and an
honest desire to help ourselves.

In fact, he was disturbed so of

board's agricultural committee.
The weed Is reported to be
spreading rapidly in some sections.
It spreads both from seed, and
from Joints of the plant Itself. It
completely infests the ground and
ruins It for crops. Because It ma
tures and goes to seed before other
crops are ready for harvest, it Is
especially difficult to control. Seed
is also carried by irrigation and
others means. It is regarded as a
far worse menace than Canada

Experiments made to date' have
shown that the plant can be eradi

also kills off all other vegetation, j
and renders trie land unfit for cul-.
