ecutivc committee of sixteen the first
official conference Of the party's lead
ers since the November elections.
The executive committee. appointed
and called together by Chairman White,
tO discuss reorganization of party ma
chincry, by unanimous vote turned
down as impracticabic, the proposal OF
Thomas b. Love, Of Texas. and hfty-
six other members Of the national COM
mittee, that the full membership of the
national committee be called to meet
March first at st. Louis, or some other
central city.
For Reorganization.
The executive committee also adopted
program for reorganization of the
party which Mr.. White was understood
To have put before the meeting. This
program, as adopted, provides for the
appointment by the chairman OF sub
committee Of five to devise means of
liquidating the Sl6O,000 Indebtedness in
currI'd in the last campaign, and to pre-
pare a budget Of expenses for maintain
ing headquarters in Washington. and
for preparation by the chairman OF
plan for the organization of woman's
bureau of the national committee.
The victory Of Chairman White and
his forces was augmented through
absence from the committee discussions
OF any suggestion that Mr.. White he
asked to retire as chairman. The near
est approach to the matter was the
announcement Of r. W. Wooley. Tor
mer Interstate commerce commissioner,
who, with Mr.. Love, drew up the pet-
ton requesting a meeting OF the ma
,ional committee, that the paragraph Ill

some quarters as n reuest for Mr..

Of the petition, appeared before the COM
mlttee, denied that he or the hfty-siN
committee members, signing the petl-
ton. were supporting any one man Tor
the presidential nomination In l%24. The
denial was made in reply to charges
and reports at the time the petition was
made public, two weeks ago. that II
was an attempt to start movement
for William q. McAdoo as tho IVA
candidate.
The forces led by Messrs. Love ana
Woolley, however. were victorious III

tion in the resolutions adopted by inc
committee Of a proviso that, while u,
was rimprscticsbler and unnecessary "a

posed appropriations for local commu-
nifty centers on the ground that they
were breeding unrest" were warmly
taken. to task by Miss Margaret Wilson.
daughter Of the President. in an ad-
dress at today's session OF the National
Women'S party convention here. pcc!ar-
ing there was no evidences TO support the
charge Miss Wilson asserted that even
granting there was such evidence, II was
mot the business of congress TO super
wise the activities Of speech OF those
they represent" but the business OF the
courts Ia try the individuals wyho have
broken the law.
Use Of School Buildings.
Adding there had also been express
ions Of opposition in congress to the use
Of schools by community center organ
izat!ons for dancing, Miss Wilson
asked:
"GrantinC that We have moral
right TO use the school buildings, Is il
any of their business what we do in
them, whether we listen to socialist
speeches or whether VIC dance"
Speaking as representative OF the
National Community Center orGaniZa-
ton, Miss Wilson declared more could
be accomplished toward true self gov
crnmcnt and necessary social reforms by
the organization OF local groups into
cooperative thinking bodies than
through the workings of party orGaniZa-
tIons. On this ground she advised I'M
mediate usbandment of the National
Womcn's party, which, she said, was In
broad sense not partisan" but "eX-
elusive, and organized for the purpose
OF building up a woman's machine
which would not be more honest or ef-
fective than a mans machine"
Prior TO Miss Wilson's address, how
ever, the executive committee of the
National Womens party had placed be-
fore the convention 4 recommendation
that the organization be continued.
though reorGanizcd under another name
and with a new program and a new eN-
ccutivo board. Recommendations sub
mitted also by the national advisory
council and the state chairman agreed
for the most part with those OF the
executive committee.
All three provided for campaign
to remove all remaining legal and other
determinations against women. and for
the protection of the political freedom
already won by them in individual coun-
tries under any. government that may
be established. 4 vote on the recon-
mendations will be taken by the con-
ventton tomorrow.
