NASHVILLE, JUN3 16'-(4'J -Seventy-two elated convicts in the state penitentiary lpfc their work or cells today long enough to be identified as World War veterans and receive about $45,000 in bonus bonds.

"Most of them signed the bonds," the chaplain said, "and asked that the money be put on deposit as nest eggs to be used when they are released." Others, he added, planned to use the money to fight for their freedom. Some ordered the money sent to, their families while a few placed it with the prison treasurer to buy luxuries. 1932 PLATFOIi" NOT VIOLATED Congressman Woodrum Says Only One Plank Not Carried Ou( RIDICULES LEAGUE Describes Talk of Dictator Is Like "Ghost Stories" NORFOLK, VA JUNE 16 Congressman Clifton A. Woodrum told Virginia Democrat today that "the thing hlch terrifies the Liberty League and that has caused the Republican party to undergo a rebirth is the fact that we have lived up to the essential and fundamental ingredients of our platform of 1932" "Ghost stories conjured up to frighten little children," he said ot Republican talk of a New Deal dictator.

"Fortunately," he said In his keynote address to the state convention, "the American people are not easily duped. The real liberties of the American! people that Is if you mean the liberties of all of the people, were never quite so safe as now." The plank In the 1932 Democratic national platform calling for a 33 per cent reduction in governmental expenditures was held up as the only one which had not been or was not being carried out by the party. TRAFFIC TOLL DECLINE NOTED Record Marred by Two Drownings over the Weekend NASHVILLE, JUNE 15 Tennessee was credited with a sharp decline In traffic fatalities this weekend, but the record was marred by two growings in the eastern section1 of the state and drowning of a Knox county deputy sheriff In North Carolina lake. The. gaiety of a Sunday School picnio near Knoxville ended suddenly when Horace Cannupp, 19, became exhausted while swimming in Holston river Sunday and his companions' efforts at rescue failed.

Fourteen-year-old Ruby Wilson was being taught to swim in Norris lake when she became frightened In deep water and disappeared be- low the surface. Near Robinsville, N. Deputy Sheriff Arthur Thompson. 28, of Knox county, was drowned when ft motorboat overturned in Lake San-tulah. He had gone fishing with two companions, who clung to the boat until help arrived.

-The only recorded traffic death was that of Miss Evelyn McDonald, a nurse, who died In a Chattanooga hospital Sunday night of injuries suffered Friday night in automobile accident DR. J. H. STOKES DIES IN HOUSTON Wat Last of Saddle Bag Physicians of His Section. ERIN, JUNE 16 (SpD Dr.

J. H. Stokes, prominent physician, died at his home in the Yellow Creek community Sunday afternoon, after a prolonged, illness. Dr. Stokes iwas born- and reared in pickson county, near Cumberland Furnace.

He spent his boyhood days working on his father's farm, and clerking in a store. He graduated in medicine from the Vanderbilt University in 1881 at the age of twentyTone, and located on Yellow Creek, where he practiced his profession for fifty-five The passing of Dr. stokes is the last of the old horse-back, saddle pocket practlcloner of Houston county. Dr. Stokus married Miss Inez Dickson, In 1889, who died in 1830.

JUNE 16-WV President Harold Willis Dodd of Princeton University conferred 570 degrees today at the University's 189th annual commencmeent exercises. Dean Luther P.

Debt Settlement The French have given the United Bute the most encouragement yet In regard to payment of the war ckbt. While the latest communica-n did not say Paris would -pay the obligations to lull, It did announce that France "is prepared to seek, as soon as circumstances permit, a settlement of its debt on a basis acceptable to both countries." latest note from Paris wal not Inspired from any plank In the Republican party, which said the party is committed to a collection of ths debts. The motive is quite different.

Prance, anticipating another war soon, is anxious to get her credit standings with America in excellent But another complication enters Into this vexing question. In event France and, the other nations agree to pay Uncle Sam in full, how could Uncle Sam afford to accept and yet retain his tariff policies to which the Republicans are definitely committed? The only way the debtors can pay is In the manner in which they received. That is, in goods. If exports from these debtor nations pour into this country, what would become of the American workmen, as well as American industry? In stead of 10,000,000 out of work, there might be 20,000,000. What is Imperative is for the creditor and the debtor nations to talk things over In a sane and sensible manner, omitting all politics, prejudice and vote-getting phrases, and come to some understanding whereby neither the debtors, -nor Uncle Sam, as the creditor, would be ruined in the settlenunt.

Hull Sees The Error Something of the low ebb In which International codes and morals have lapsed is sensed by Sec-. retary Cordell, Hull. In an before Brown University graduates the Secretary of State deplored the low standards of international morality caused by the World War and its aftermath. The world's problems, he pointed out, will not be solved until the spirit underlying national policies undergoes a new birth unless individuals within nations devote themselves to a new birth. "In the final analysis," he continued, "no nation is better than the individuals who compose it." Thus Tennessee's member in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, without preaching, placed his finger ou the troubles of the worW.

It Is man's own folly, and the Indictment cannot be passed on to governments, or to dictators. The trouble goes back to the individual people who make up the nations. Marching men, broken treaties, scrapped pacts, towering arma ments, thinly veiled hostilities, all make lor confusion and unrest. And the low estate of the morals of the people, themselves, njuke possible the low estate of the world as it is today'. New Money, New Things With bonus bonds to the time of approximately $300,000 being paid to nearly 700 veterans in Clarksville and Montgomery county this week, business should receive an additional boost.

Some veterans will receive, or have received bonds for more than $1,500. Perhaps the average will be around $450. New automobiles, new furniture. el ctric refrigerators, down pay- Snts on homes, new clothes, more ie' Insurance, and paynientson old debts should help boost business. In some Instances the veterans not financially pressed, will leave their bonds In banks to draw interest.

To the'Vnajority of the veterans, however, it means new money, new buying, new things. Prompt Trial Needed Tennesseans regret the jiostpone-ment of the trial of the defendants charged with evading Tennessee's gasoline tax law. The longer the trial is delayed, the more skeptical the taxpayers will become that men can defraud the state and escape justice This tends to break down confidence in the state anl creates an unwholesome attitude. The postponement was made over the protest of DiJrlct Attorney General J. Carlton Loser The state was ready in both cases.

We trust a speedy trial in which justice will be done, will be had soon. Pungent Clauses Quoting from Abraham Lincoln, at he visited the birthplace of Lin-A i. President Roosevelt skilfully wered his critics who are charging that he would be a dictator. "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master." The President has dropped several pufigent expressions recently that may be popular coined phrases In the coining campaign. Among these arc: "Wo have restored Democracy in we must now restore Democracy in opportunity," "Men do not fight for boardiny "houses; they will fight for homes." A news dispatch says Postmaster General Farley breakfasted on out of season strawberries and cream recently as he traveled through the northwest.
