DEMOCRATS PRINT PAPER Washington Senator Schall said the administration has begun the publication of a newspaper to be used "to help in the election of congress men and senators this fall who have pledged themselves to the Roosevelt dictatorship." The senator said "the paper is called the Blue Eagle and is edited by General Johnson." "The Roosevelt administration in its attack on the press has begun the publication of a weekly news paper financed and mailed with the taxpayers money," he said. "This publication, now a weekly, is to be extended into the daily field to help in the election of congressmen and .senators this fall who have pledged themselves to the Roosevelt dictator ship. "The first two issues of this pub lication are misleading devoted to articles praising the NRA but the entire 'double deal' program is to be endorsed as soon as the publication enters the daily field. "With a national daily newspaper in Washington the administration is of the opinion that it can crowd out all news matter printed in the legi timate daily papers until such time as they can secure' the passage of their censorship bill of the press After this the organ is to be the offi cial publication lor the nation. It will be given the exclusive news matter from the government depart ments and in this way will be able to beat the daily newspapers in news matter." TORNADO HITS TURKEY Adana.
