NEW TYPE LIBERAL
1.EADEH OAINS POVYEH
SOUTHERN NEW DEALERS
FOR ECONOMIC SURVEY
WASHINGTON. July 19. In the
fast-approach atruggle for control of
the Democratic party, the great un
known factor la the south. No one
doubts that, while the Garners and
Farleys can rely on the Hagues of
New Jersey and Kellys of Chicago, the
rank and file of northern voters will
follow the president. Many believe.
- however, that, In the south, the rank
and file are on the Garner -Farley
side. Recently. Ex-President Herbert
Hoover has been talking privately of
coalition movements, and all highly
placed Republican politicians love the
story of the southern colonel, who
told a friend:
"If you dam Yankees don't atop
voting democratic, you're going to
ruin the Democratic party."
For those, like Mr. Hoover, who re
gard Walter George of Georgia, Cotton
Ed Smith of South Carolina, and
Harry F, Byrd of Virginia as the real
representatives of the south, It would
be well to remember that a new type
of southern leader :J slowly gaining
prominence. As yet, most , of these
new men are concealed In the cham
bers of the new deal, but, when the
time comes, they will be ready to
come Into the open.
These ' new men may be seen at
work In the story behind the presi
dent's recent request for a report on
economic conditions In the south.
Officially, the report Is to oe pre
pared by the national emergency
council and to be used as a sort of
touch-stone for policies concerning
the south. The report Is almost fin
shed and wilt be used as a n.ajor
weapon In the president's effort to
capture the southern democracy from
Its present conservative owners.
Two years ago, a group of southern
new dealers In congress and the exe
cutive branch formed a southern pol
icy committee. It was one of a num
ber of similar governmental discus
sion groups, and. like most of "'the
others, it foregathered informally
each week in a Washington restau
rant. , Lister Hill, the Alabama congress
man who succeeded Justice Hugo I.
Black In the senate, was one of the
prime movers. Another was Clark
Foreman, grandson of a great editor
of the Atlanta Constitution, P. H. D.
at Columbia, and Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes chief adviser
both on power and the negro prob
lem. Justice Black himself took and still
takes a leading part, and among oth
ers who have attended the meetings
are Senator Claude Pepper of Florida;
Farm Security Administrator Will W.
Alexander; Representatives Maury
Maverick or Texas, Joe Stames of Al
abama, and Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas: and Justice Black's brother-in-law,
the RFC assistant general
counsel, Clifford J. Durr. Altogether
the committee has about forty mem
bers. At their meetings, these men reg
ularly discussed southern problems

North Chicago Foundry Plant
Is Scene of Hand-to-Hand
Struggle Dozen Women
Pickets Mix in Melee
NORTH CHICAGO. 111., July 19.
(AP) Police and deputy sheriffs
fired a tear gas attack today on
pickets blocking entrance to the
strike - bound Chicago Hardware
Foundry company plant. A half
dozen women picketB were knocked
to the ground.
Pickets fought the officers In hand
to hand encounters while tear gas
bombs and shells burst all around.
About 50 regular and special depu
ties and city police from North
Chicago and nearby towns launched
the attack after giving the pickets
five minutes to "break it up."
Officers carried guns but did not
use them. .They fired tear gas from
pistols and threw gas bombs. About
50 gas missiles burst within a few
minutes.
After the first clash, the pickets
retreated, formed their ranks again
and gave way anew as the deputies
advanced, hurling tear gas bombs
Into the crowd.
At length, the demonstrators were
driven to a point three blocks from
the plant. They scattered into nearby
fields and made no further attempt
to return to the foundry for the
time being.
During the battle, the pickets
threw stones, bottles and empty tear
gas cartridges at the officers.
The policemen moved back to the
plant after the engagement.
Standing in front of It, wiping
tear-streamihg eyes, was a lone wo-
raanJ.-rholdlng- -aloft the American
flag.
At the outset, the demonstrators
had been ordered to disperse.
Chief of Police J. J Novak of North
Chicago went down the line of
pickets massed east and west across
Commonwealth avenue at the main
gate of the plant which has been
strikebound for six weeks.
The chief told the pickets to, dis
perse within five minutes or the
officers would force them to scatter.
The pickets remained at their
posts. When the time limit expired,
the officers moved In.

CENTRAL PT JAY
Neighbor City and Oak

ing PWA Aid in Obtain- j
ing Better Water Supply!
If Central Point and Oak Grove
aro successful In nrocurlne PWA fi
nancing for their projected pipe sys
tems, me city or Mcdiord win have
three municipal purchasers of water.
Eagle Point constructed Its own sys
tem and hooked on to the Medford
main last fall.
Central Point has already renlaced
some of lui old water mains and
last week the city council voted to
apply to the PWA for funds to com
plete the reDlacement Inh so that
the system might be hooked on the
nicaiora main. Engineer Paul Rynn
Ing was employed to draw up speci
fications and tho PWA application.
The Oak Grove area, organized as
the Jacksonville highway water dis
trict, has already annlled for a pwa
grant and loan to construct a water
system. The district would purchase
waicr wholesale from Medford.
Must Hove Own Tank
Wherever a municipality purchases
water from Medford It la required
that the purchaser have Its own res
ervoir so that no additional drain
would bo placed on the Medford ros
ervolrs, It was explained today by
Robert A. Duff, water commission
getting Its water from a well, has
superintendent. Central Point, now
storage facilities. Eagle Point haa a
50,000-gnllon reservoir and under
present plana Oak Grove would have
a stand-pipe of 60.000-gallon capac
ity. Mr. Duff related.
Additional ,ialo of Merlford water
la so much pelvet, as be added ad
ministration overhead expense la
nominal. In the case of .serving com
munities the only additional work to
Medford Is reading a master meter
once a month.
In addition to municipal users, the
Medford water avstem la used hv in.
dlvlduals outside the cltv and this
use provides a tldv sum of vr.
revenue. Mr. Duff pointed out. In
tne past io years, those usors have
paid about (114.000 and this Income
permitted the Medford water com
mission to pay off the bonds on
the old. discarded pipe line, he said.
M Mile Connection
If Central Point completes Its urn.
Jcct, connection would bo mado with
tho Medford main at tho Intersoo
nnd Midway road. This would mean
non 01 tne old Pacific highway
the laylnK of about 9U miiA. nt
connecting pipes from Central Point,
Mr. Duff said.
Peak consumption of water within
Medford for this year was recorded
between 7 and 8 o'clock last nioh
Mr. Duff related. During that hour
""a consumed at the rate, of
13,390,000 rollons a dav. ha tti.rf
In aplto of this heavy consumption,
thcro was still an overflow 'at the
reservoirs, showing that the storage
supplies were not drawn upon, he
said.

consort by boat and train from
London to this capital and was
greeted by gray-haired Albert LcBrun,
titular chief of state for 102,000,000
people.
The visit of the British sovereigns

similar visit by King Oeorge V in
1914 the common front of two of
Hie world's greatest empires.
V All Paris Celebrates
Tonight a state reception was held
at President LeBrun's Ely see palace
in honor of the British monarchs,

four-day visit.
Outside the palace all Paris cele
brated. The day was proclaimed a
Holiday, British and French flags gar
landed the capital, fireworks blazed
and crowds danced In the streets,
Oalety ran all the higher because
of the popular impression that the
visit on the 30th anniversary of
the German army's retreat across
the Marne would find Britain and
France at last In a position to com
pel tlie retreat of Nazi diplomacy and
keep the peace of Burope.
The royal party arrived at the little
Bols v de Boulogne station In the
aristocratic northwest corner of Paris,
a square, gray-stone structure under
whose green cupola visiting royalty
traditionally descends.

(10:40 a. m., E. S. T.) The king and
queen, smiling broadly, stepped onto
the platform and shook hands with
President and Madame LeBrun. The
king wore tlie uniform of An ad
miral of the fleet. The queen was
all In white.
Appearance of the king and queen
brojght volleys of cheers from
throngs surrounding the station,
while the royal salute sounded from
the guns of Mount Valerian fort In
the western suburb of Suresnes.
Hie British royal standard and the
Fro nch tricolor ran up on glided
staffs. From a huge cage, concealed
by banks of flowers, 10,000 white
doves were released as their majesties
appeared, a symbol of Franco-Brlflsh
aspirations for peace.
King Oeorge and Queen Elizabeth
arrived at Boulogne this morning
from London and. came to Paris over
120 miles of carefully guarded rails
A police dirigible followed the
royal cortege from the station to
the Qual D'Orsay, almost touching
the rooftops from which thousands
watched. Thousands of American
and British tourists were In the
cheering throngs along the route.
The automobiles carrying the king
and queen and the LeBruns were
so surrounded by cavalrymen that
few of tfie 3.000,000 got even t
glimpse of their faces.
