UNION BATTLES
CATTLE PLAGUE
UNION CITY, July 20.—(Special) —
Tubercular cuttle are a menace to the
health and happiness of all persons
concerned, according to state dairy
exports, so the Union City commun-
ity is making plans which will result
in one hundred percent certification
against this disease, according to C. A.
Helms, head of the department of vo-
cational agriculture in the Union City
schools.
The tubercular cow is like a snake
in the grass. She gives about as much
milk as her healthy sister and is
usually fat while in the first stages
of the disease. The serum test is the
only satisfactory test. With this test
reacting heifers can he located and
disposed of before coming into pro-
duction. This eliminates the possi-
bility of their carrying the infection
to persons through milk.
Medical statistics show that over
fifty percent of tuberculosis in people
is contracted directly or indirectly
from the use of milk from infected
cattle. When all the reactor cattle
are removed from our herds a much
smaller number of our relatives and
friends will contract this dreaded dis-
ease.
Mr. Helms reports that several
herds on farms west of Union City
have been certified. Among the cat-
tle tested two reactors have been
found and disposed of.

Political Future of New York Governor
Causes Speculation in Nation’s Capital
:
15
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Pres3 Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON—(IP)—The politi-
cal future of Governor Franklin D.
roosevelt of New York is n subject of
much speculation in the national cap-
ital. He is regarded anions Repub-
licans as well as Democrats as one
who will figure prominently in the
race for the next Democratic presi-
dential nomination unless he should
fail of re-election In the New York
state election next year.
The problem of
c a p t u r ing tho
New York gover-
norship is now re-
ceiving much at-
tention among
Republicans. A
group of Now
York state Repub-
lican leaders con-
ferred with Pres-
ident Hoover re-
cently and found
him much inter-
ested In strength-
ening the part
organization with a view of a succes-
sful fight in New York next year.
Republicans feel that if they can de-
feat Roosofvelt for re-election they
will have eliminated one Democrat
possessing considerable strength as a
potential presidential possibility.
More important than this, perhaps
in the view of some Republican lead-
ers, the defeat of Roosevelt would
check tho rapidly rising importance
of the power issue in politics.
Governor Roosevelt, in a recent
speech at the new Tammany Hall, de-
clared it may be necessary in Amer-
ica to proclaim a now Declaration of
Independence against such aggrega-
tions of capital as the recent power
merger sponsored by the Morgan
house. The governor, without desir-
ing to prejudice legitimate business,
asked whether there was not danger
in the growth of mergers which have
become so large that it is now diftl-

cult for an Individual to operate a
drug store or grocery as an independ-
ent business.
Many political observers believe the
power issue will soon become a dom-
inant political one. Tho revelations
before the Federal Trade Commission
have convinced many some form of
more effective regulation will he at-
tempted. Governor Roosevelt appar-
ently feels this question will be fought
oiit politically in the next few cam-
paigns. Should he carry New York
stale on it in the gubernatorial elec-
tion next year, his friends undoubted-
ly Jvould seek the presidential nomin-
ation for him on that issue. When
hoijaddrossed Tammany Hall July 4.
he wag cheered as the next president
of tho United States. Former Gover-
nor Smith In a speech following Roose-
velt's endorsed the governor’s posi-
tion on tho merger Issue.
Few polltlcans believe that A1
Smith will he considered for the nom-
ination again. However, another New
York Democrat is achieving stature
us a presidential possibility, Owen D.
Young, head of General Electric a
close associate of .1. I’. Morgan, nnd
chairman of the recent conference on
German reparations.
Young’s achievement, in bringing
tho powers together on tho reparations
readjustment has caused some Demo-
crats to favor him as a presidential
candidate. His ability is concerned
by all. Ills work in the difficult reP'
motions negotiations has placed him
high in the ranks of contemporary
statesmen although he has never
been in public life. However his con-
nections in tho electric power industry
are regarded by some as a political
liability which might disqualify him
should the power and merger situa-
tion create a national political issue.
Except for that Young’s availability
would be high, so high that it. is pos-
sible Governor Roosevelt has aimed
at eliminating Young by raising the
power issue at this time--thinking to
sot up a hurdle which Ills fellow New
Yorker could not clear by 1932.

laying their problems before the farm
board.

MAY HALT WAR
TOKYO, July 20.—Both Russia and
China reacted favorably to Secretary
of State Sllmson’s reminder that they
were adhering to the Kellogg anti-ag-
gressive war pact nnd that no fighting
was reported along tho Manchurian
border as a result of China’s seizuro
of the Chinese Eastern railway.
Although the Soviet press contin-
ued to make threats against the “Chi-
nese cut throats” official Moscow felt
greatly relieved at the action of the
United States concurred in by France,
Great Britain and Japan.
Both Russia and China so fur as
is known continued the mobilization
of troops but there were no clashes
betwen the concentrated troops.
Chiang Kai-Shek head of tho Chi-
nese government Issued a statement
decrying that the seizure of the Chi-
nese Eastern railway was the first
move by China to confiscate foreign
interests in China.
Reports of martial law in Manchuria
were denied at Harbin today.
The reports it was declared appar-
ently arose from the posting of bul-
letins in China and Russia warning
with death any one circulating ru-
mors which may he considered of
danger to the military.
Martial law has always been ef-
fective through Manchuria where the
military governors of the province
were practically the sole dispensers
of law, with a right to execute any-
body for any cause.
