1 Give a Day's Wages Is Keynote of The Weather Forecast: Fair Sunday and nor mtil temperature. TEMPERATl'HR Highest yesterday 71 Lowest jester day 54 Thirtieth Year By Paul Mallon Copyright, 1036, by Paul Mallon CARMEL. Calif., Oct. 8. The sub rosa capital of communism Is Carmel non-shaving soap-boxers around Onion Square. New York, may think they are the brain trusters of the red move ment, but they do not accom plish much more than getting their heads thumped by po-. lice billies every Msy Day. The red think ers out here are smoothies, both fwau. PAUL MALI.U.N as to chin ana Intent. They are In tellectuals, top-notch writers of long practical propaganda experience, and socialites, smarter than the eastern variety. They are too smart to get caught. Most of them are not even members of the communist party. Bed boll weevils out In the field boring from within trade unionism, however, drop in here and get advice. They know to whom to go. A couple of Justice department , agents also know. But It does not do them any good. No laws are being violated. There Is not much they can do. A local American Legion group be came worried about the .communist infestation here sometime back and held a private meeting. A warm headed group wanted to do something hot. It called In the police, planned to toss all suspects Into the hoose gow. Legal authorities informed the Legion men that the reds would not remain In jail long unless substantial evidence was accumulated to keep them there. This evidence was lack ing. Since that time, however, this group has kept watch on known radi cals and their many guests. One- when the communists were conducting a strike of farm workers about thirty miles from here, their camp was mysteriously destroyed by fire one night. Every hut and tent was burned. Of course, no one knows who did it. From these experiences you can get a good Idea of what the communist growth In the far west is leading up to. Within a short time the rest of the country will hear about the hot test red extermination campaign this country has ever seen. It will not be at the polls. Electorally the communists amount to little. They have recognized that their objectives are not immediately obtainable at the ballot box. Conse quently the methods to be used avalnst them are likely to be as un democratic as their own. An understanding of communist purposes can be obtained if you can get In to see "the old fox" here. The I communists do not call him that, but his adversaries do. The title may not be novel, but It is appropriate. He Is a clever and brilliant writer who knows tho subtlo methods of In fluencing mass minds of the Amer ican kind from experience with more prominent political movements. In siders give him credit for much of the dock strike and the farm strike strat ergy. He talks csutlously but some times frankly. His opinion la that communists will have control of California labor unionism "soon", meaning from a few months to a few years. They already have one wnlon (longshoremen's) and are formidable In several others. Their voting strength In the last state A. T. of L. convention was about one to three. Control of this phase Is their primary objective. Wisely, the red leaders are letting the second objective elide the com munist nstlonal revolution, but they keep themselves pepped up for It by burning bellf that President Hoose- velt will fall and then their time will come. It seems that all sntl-new deal factions are waiting In the ssmn hope republicans, epics, etc. The communists are over-rating their chances, as all rontons politic ians do. They will probably never control the labor movement here or elsewhere. Their success 1 merely causing the erection of a fascist brick wall for them to butt their head! Into. The ex-bralna of the communist movement on the Pacific coast was Tom D'Arey. He went to the last Internationale In Europe. During his absence the Justice department dis covered he had made an erroneous statement In his sworn application for citizenship papers. That la all they need to handle a communist. D'Arey Is now under Indictment for falsification. Inner red circles believe he will remain In Europe rather than attempt to lead cooM communism B&Mmd M EDFORD Full Associated Press mm T NEUTRALITY AC!

Referring to the Blackmer removal Martin Informed the circuit Judge that lt is my request that you give him a falr and reasonable oppor tunity to conduct the. grand Jury investigation Into tho alleged gamb ling conditions In your county and to report to you. Your district at torney waa elected only last Novem ber and I am Informed he is a fine young attorney of your county." The governor also stated the slate did not have the facilities nor the funds with which to conduct in vestigations In each of tho 30 coun ties. On the other hand the governor told Ashurst that "I shall not com promise with crime. Nor shall 1 use the powers of my high office io further the interests of those who seek to establish open and public gambling in this state." Discussing the gambling Investi gations in various counties, Gover nor Martin aald that "I have been Informed, and the circumstances surrounding all of these cases com pel tha Inference., that many of these wide-spread demands for Investiga tion of alleged gambling conditions are part of a deep-laid and cunning plot on the part of certain gambling touts who desire to see the coming legislative session legalize certain forms of slot machines and other gambling devices.

(P.S.T) The Tribune will resume loud speaker service on Monday at 1:30 a. m. (P.S.T.) if the Cubs win today. Victory for the Tigers today will mean their fourth and the end of the world series. WRIOLEY FIELD, Chicago, Oct. 8. (AP) Alvln (Oeneral) Crowder, a baseball veteran who served with the United States army In Siberia, capitalized his experience With win try weather today to pitch the De troit Tigers to their third straight victory and within one game of their long-sought goal, the world championship. The 34-ycar old North Carolina right-hander turned back tho youth ful Chicago Cubs, most of whom were in kneo br6ecl.es when the "general" was carrying a musket on Aslatlo duty, and whipped' them, 3 to 1, with a brilliantly executed f.va-hit performance. The old warhorsc, in achieving his first world scries triumph in three starting attempts, not only gave a masterful exhibition, marred only by the home run ball he servod to Gabby Hartnett in the seca;..' Inning, but figured in the scou.ig of both Detroit runs to mako It a glorious day for this cap tain of the "old guard Crowder singled In tho third and came homo with the tying run on Jo-Jo White's hit and Charley Gch- ringer's douMe off Llndstrom's ft love. The "general" had the breaks" with htm In the sixth when his roller was missed by shortstop Billy Jurgcs of tho Cubs, thereby enabling little "Flea" Clif ton, substitute Tiger third baseman. to scamper home with the winning run. Clifton had taken two bases on Augle Galan's muff of a long fly ball and the collapse of the home team's defense proved fatal Thus fortified tho "general" awept back the Cubs In their last four attempts to brea'-. through tho old fellow's crafty pitching defense. Billy Herman doubled In the sixth. to start the home half, but couldn't set beyond th I rd base. Fins 1 1 y, in the ninth, Fronk Demareo and Phil Cavarretta hit safely, with one out. The crowd was yelling wildly, Eldon Anker was warming up briskly in the Tiger bullpen and it looked m though emergency measures might be necessary. Manager Mickey Coch rane confined himself to a short conference with the "general." how ever, and saw his confidence Justi fied as Stanley Hack grounded to Billy n or oil and Into a double play that ended the last Cub hopes. The American League champions, now leading three games to one, are overwhelming favorites to carry their come-back to baseball's heights for the first time. They have been beaten four times previously by Nat lonal league opposition. They can end this battle victoriously tomor row. if Tommy Bridges, slim right hander who stopped the Cuba in the second game, can beat Lon Wameke. the Cubs ace and hut- out victor In the first game. Cochrane aald tonight that while he planned to start Bridge he might switch to Schoolboy nowe. the giant right-handed workhouse. Even if the Tigers fall to beat Warneke, thev will have two gama on their home grounds In which to collect the fourth and deciding game. The fourth gam'- today; witnessed by another fres'c-bltten crowd of 49,350 fans that was the btggeat of the series and sent the total gate receipts over the 1700.000 mark, developed another bitter battle of the "break. but was marker! by no serious renewal of the hostilities in whlh the Cubs became embroiled with Trnplre Morlarty yesterday.

SEES 3 DANGERS Return To Sanity From Faith In 'Hypnotic Slo gans' Urged Inflation Feared Unless Budget Balanced. OAKLAND. Cal., Oct. 8. (UP)- Former President Hoover tonight smashlngly attacked the fiscal poli clea of the Roosevelt administration and called upon the Republican party to present a united front at Its 1036 cnoventlon "which will be the mosts vital convention since 1800," In a keynote speech at a conven tion of Younger Republicans from 11 western states, Hoover specially de nounced the administration's "delib erate spending of public money," He warned unless such spending Is cur tailed and the budget balanced "we shall see one of the three horse men ravago the land taxation, repu diation or inflation." He characterized the New Deal's de valuation of the dollar as "repudia tion on the Installment plan," and as "a modern and pollto ter mfor clip ping the coin," which Rome resorted to during Its decline. "T h e Roosevelt administration," Hoover charged, "is clutched In the meshes of the gigantic spending bu rcaucy which It has created." Ha further charged that tho ad ministration's spending had destroy ed confidence and retarded rocovory. Urging a sound fiscal policy as the first step In a constructive program, Hoover said: "Wa need a return from muddling to sanity and realism." (Hy the Associated Press) Highlights from the former presi dent's address were: The Issue of America ta not a bat tle of phrases, but a battle between straight and crooked thinking. We need a return from muddling to sanity and realism. Tho vast area of spending through loans guaranteed br the government Is not represented tn the budget with any taxpayer's liability, These Juggling will no doubt ease the tax payer's mind butthcy will not re lievo his pocket. It Is not overstatement to say that had the Republican principles of bud get balancing been accepted In 1931 and 1932, tho final stone In the foundation of perfect recovery would have been laid three years ago In stead of deferred for years hence. Whenever you Increases the num bers of political bureaucracy, you not only have to pay them, but they are veritable research laboratories for new Inventions In spending money. Thoreare only three ways to meet tha unpaid bills of a government. The first is taxation. Th second Is repudiation. The third ts Inflation. All this spending of deficits has not consequently restored genuine Jobs In industry and commerce. SPECIAL SESSION CALL UNDECIDED PORTLAND. Oct.
