SAN FRANCISCO, Oct, 2. The un
dertone; In California Is not hard to
hoar. It Is radicalism, versus democ
racy, and It does
not murmur; It
shrieks. All the
tunny political
noises you have
heard from here
(the red-led dock
strike, the Sin
clair eplcac
hawking and the
Townsend plea to
support the aged
In style) appear
to be only the
beginning.
The din will be- PAUL MALLON
deafening when the forces of com
munism and fascism, now organizing
quietly, come to -the climax of their
struggle. At least this Is what both
communists and conservatives will
tell you behind their hands, and It
seems to be true as far as the north
ern half of this golden empire is con
cerned. The Inside situation Is getting
around to this partly because some
one seems to have been pouring water
Into Dr. Sinclair's eplcac. It is not
generally known but more than a
couple of persons are supposed to
have dropped out of his outfit lately
because they believed It was losing Its
popular potency.
The Towrusendites seem to be hold
ing their lines better, possibly be
cause there are so many elderly re
tired persons settled here with voting
wives, sons and daughters. Their
peak also may have been reached.
Within and beyond these outfits,
the decp-dyed radicals arc coming
strong.
Communism may be only a dead
herrirlg across political paths .cast of
the Rockies, but around Frisco It Is
real red stuff. You can get an In
sight on that by looking behind the
vote at the last A.'F. of L. stato con
vention. Harry Bridges Is the clever left wing
spearhead, boring from within - or
ganized labor through his leadership
of the longshoremen. Formerly he re
ceived about 400 or 500 votes each
year when he ran for some A. F. of
L. office. A few weeks ago he received
19.202 votes In his campaign for a
vice presidency. He was defeated. His
successful opponents (non-radicals)
polled an average of 66,000 rotes.
But Bridges' upswing was enough
to make the regular labor leaders
whistle In amazement. They are as
suming the responsibility for stop
ping the left wing surge, which seems
to be quite a responsibility.
On the other side, the business peo
ple know what Is coming and are get
ting ready. A new citizens voters as
sociation Is being quietly organized
by a responsible authority. The back
ers do not want publicity. The lm
' porta nee of their move may not be
widely appreciated, but their pur
pose Is to set up a state-wide net
work through which money and
workers may be obtained to combat
the radical trend.
The movement Is non-partisan, but

NAVIN FIELD, DETROIT, Oct. 2.
(AP) The claws of the scrappy Chi
cago Cubs drew first blood In the
1935 world series today as long Lon-
nle Warneke, In brilliant form, shut
out the Detroit Tigers, 3 to 0. The
Cub ace allowed only four hits as he
equalled the world series record with
eight assists in an all-Arkansas duel
with Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe.
A two run rally In the first Inning,
aided materially by Rowe's own error,
first of three made by the Jittery
Tigers, and Frank Demaree'a home
run smash Into the left field stands
to start the ninth, gave the Cubs
their winning margin as a crowd of
48,000 all but Jamming the big
American league ball park, sent the
series away to a colorful start.
Rowe Rallies
While Warneke was allowing but
four safeties, two of them doubles,
and had to fight off occasional spells
of wlldness, allowing four bases on
balls, Rowe rallied after a shaky start
to fan eight and allow but two hits
in the last five Innings. The Cubs
nicked him for seven hits all told,
but his control was perfect as he Is
sued not a single pass.
Warneke equaled the record of
eight assists In one world series game
for a pitcher, set by Nick, Altrock, of

of 1906. Long Lonnie, In addition to

President Roosevelt in the face of
foreign war threats today asserted a
policy that this government must re-
main "unentangled and free" and
urged adherence by other powers "to
the Ideal of the Americans I am a
good neighbor."
Frankly stating the "potent danger
of foreign war, Mr. Roosevelt within
sight of the collected United States
fleet orf shore here declared:
-"This country- -eeeksn. oonques.
We have no Imperial designs."
Then he gave notice that the Amer
ican people "intend and expect to re
main at peace with all the world."
The president at the same time
agreed that some nations are not cm
bracing the American principles of
religious freedom and liberty of con
science, but reminded that these vio
lations were under other flags and
called for strict adherence to these
principles within this land. ,

"We stand once more upon an eco

SUBSTITUTE AAA
SEEN BY MARTIN
AT NEXT
SALEM, Oct. 2. ( AP) Governor
Martin today expressed his belief that
the legislature should enact an ag
ricultural adjustment law which
would conform to the state consti
tution and still embody the main
principles of the act which the sup
reme court yesterday declared un
constitutional. "I believe the AAA Is the solution
to the farm problems and has done
much for the farmers. Regulation of
supply Is very important. The mat
ter should be debated on the floor
of the legislature rather than have
a bill submitted to the people by
Initiative," Martin declared.
The marketing agreement law of
1033 which was held void resulted
In the ousting of 11 codes In the
state. The opinion coming as late
In the year as It did would not af
fect any crops for this season, except
the prune crop, farmers here stated.
"I am also glad the court deferred
handing down the opinion until so
late in the year as few organizations
will be affected this year. By next
year it may be possible to have a
similar law passed that would be
constitutional," Governor Martin
added.

ROME, Oct. 2. (AP) Benito Mus

of Nations action, told the world to
day that Italy would forge steadily
toward Its goal In Africa.
Addressing mass assemblies of his
citizens throughout Italy, and all the
other nations of the world through a
radio broadcast, he declared:
"There Is attempted to commit
against them (the Italian people) the
blackest of Injustices, that of with
holding from them a little soil under
the sun."
He declared Italy "had been patient
40 years" with Ethiopia and "that Is
enough."
Then he lashed out at the League
of Nations where, he said, "instead
of recognising the Just rights of
Italy, they dare talk sanctions.'
He declared he did not believe the
French and British people actually
wanted to bring sanctions against
Italy, but he warned:
"To sanctions of an economlo char
acter, we shall respond "with the spirit
of discipline, with sobriety, and with
sacrifice. To measures of military or
der, we shall respond with measures
of a military order. To acts of war,
we shall respond with acts of war."
He declared that the Allies had giv

sumptuous colonial booty for the oth
