Time And Place of Bourbon
Meet To Be Fixed On
February 5, Farley Says.
Washington, Dec. 30. (IP)
With the approval of President
Roosevelt, the Jackson Day din
ner committee has broken prece
dent to invite republican con
gressional leaders to be honor
guests at that traditional demo
cratic love feast here January 8.
Added to this innovation, the
Invitations to the republicans
declared that President Roose
velt's speech at the dinner would
be "non-partisan in character."
These disclosures today came
soon after Chairman James A.
Farley called the democratic
national committee to meet here
Feb. 5 to fix a time and place
Joel Gentry in Hollywood '
will be the headliner attraction
at the annual free show, spon-
for the party's presidential nom-, sored evcry january at the Hub
mating convention. bard-Wray building, 29 North
The Invitations, sent out by . Riverside Avenue, by that con-
former attorney general Cum
mings, chairman of the District
of Columbia Jackson Day com
mittee, immediately provoked
speculation as to whether the
president would devote his ad
dress to a call for national unity
Jn solving internal and foreign
problems. Some observers ex
pressed belief that It meant Mr.
Roosevelt would not disclose his
intentions regarding a third
term at that time.
Those known to have been
Issued free tickets to the dinner,
which will cost democrats $100
plate, were Senators McNary
of Oregon and Austin of Ver
mont, republican leader and as
sistant leader in the senate; and
Rep. Martin of Massachusetts,
house republican chief.
"The president Is, of course,
aware of this letter," Cummings
wrote them, "and I am author
ized to say that he not only
hopes that you will attend but
that his address on that occasion
will be strictly non-partisan In
character. Permit me to add my
own earnest wish that you will
honor us by your acceptance."
There was no Immediate in
dication whether the republi
cans would go to the dinner but
there was comment from that
party on Farley's call for the
democratic committee. Republi
cans said the fixing of the com
mittee meeting date was the
"break" for which they have
been waiting.

Orange, Tex.. Dec. 30 lFi
Ten coaches of a Southern Pa
cific passenger train Jumped
the rails and injured at least
21 persons in a wreck a few
blocks from the Orange, Tex.,
station today.
Six of the cars turned over
on their sides, and in one of
them a baggage clerk and his
assistant were trapped tempor
arily. Joe Jarrell and J. W.
Rose, the clerks, forced open a
door and clambered to safety.
They were slightly injured.
Two other white persons were
hurt. They were R. E. Rob
ertson and G. W. Bland. All
four were Houston residents.
The other injured included 17
Negroes, riding in a chair car
which turned over.
The derailment occurred over
a small trestle bridging a drain
age ditch.
The injured were taken to
Orange hospitals. A few per
sons requiring only minor treat
ment were not included in the
injured list.
The train was the Southern
Pacific's crack flier between
Now Orleans and San Antonio.
It was coming into Orange a
few minutes behind schedule
when it crashed. A Pullman
car and the engine stayed on
the rails.
R. L. Tuck, S. P. roadmaster
from Beaumont, said the wreck
resulted from a broken rail,
caused by an "internal trans
verse fissure." Such defect, he
said, was difficult to detect even
with exploratory instruments.
The cold weather, he added,
probably contributed to the
break.
There will be 28 gleaming
1940 stock sedans, with a full
load of passengers, competing
for mileage honors In the Gil-more-Yosemlte
run scheduled
for January 4. A. C. Pillsbury,
regional director of the A.A.A.
contest board, announced last
week as the last hour that en
tries would be accepted for the
world's biggest stock car test
was passed.
The cars will leave Gilmore
stadium in Hollywood on the
morning of January 4 and will
be required to make the 306 5-
mile journey to Yosemite na
tional park in the elapsed time
of 10'ti hours. Stops for check-1
ing purposes will be required
In Fresno and Coarse Gold. 1
No time allowance for putting
on and taking off of chains will
be granted. j
Gilmore officials report that
greater Interest than ever be
fore in the history of the fam
ous stock car test Is being evi
denced by eastern automotive
officials. Each day finds let
tcrs and wires coming in, ask
ing for reservations In Yosem
ite in order that these officials
may witness the run. Yosem
ite park officials say that
eno lgh reservations have been
received to completely fill the
luxurious Ahwahnee hotel dur
ing the course of the run.
Early last week, A.A.A. of
ficials had Los Angeles news

Reduce Price For
Large Bread Loaf
Local wholesale bakers today
announced a reduction in price
of large pound and half loaves
from 14 to 13 cents, effective
January 2.
One wholesale baker, In dls
cussing the reduction, said "La
bor costs have become an in
creasingly important item in
the manufacture of bread and
we find that there are other
economies in the manufacturing
costs of large loaves. j
"We therefore are reducing
the price on this type of bread
with the hope thav customers,
seeing the greater value in the
large loaf, will increase our
production on this item. Flour
and other materials used in
bread baking, after a sharp rise
at the beginning of the war in
Europe, settled back for a time,
but they have again begun a
slow but constant rise, and at
present wheat is at the highest
level it has been in three years.
The large loaf at 13 cents Is the
greatest value we have ever
offered. Many customers have
also told us that they find the
large loaves retain their flavor
and moisture to a much greater
degree than the smaller loaves,
and this will materially help in
crease their popularity."
