 DISOWN BROOKHART
Wiser Heads in Part However Favor Truce With Nominee
pes Moines. Iowa. Jnne t1 "a

Des Moines, Iowa. June II CPl -- The republican state committee which dlsowned Colonel Smith ". Brookhart as the party's nominee for the United States senate from Iowa in 1924 faces again the bien- nial problem of his presence as it's standard bearer.
 Members Of the committee gath ering for a meeting tomorrow to outline a platform for the state convention in mid-July and 10 sur vey returns Of the primary where in Brookhart defeated Senator A. B. Cummins by 71,000 votes, were under pressure to disinherit again the aggressive colonel. while other party leaders advised the commit tee 10 acknowledge Brookhart's re- publicanism on whatever terms 1t can make.
 Brookhart, meanwhile, obvious as always to activities Of the pary's governing body, neared Washington on an unofficial eXpe- dition in behalf Of farm relief and his assistants here gave no sign of their intentions tomorrow or at the state convention.
 The committee must determine whether 1t will compromise with Brookhart. who never has recog- nized its right to oppose him, or whether it will disown him again and support an independent candi- date or the democratic nominee.
 The likeliest chance of recon clliation between Brookhart and party leaders. several of them pointed out, lies in advocacy by both of definite steps for farm re- lief. Chairman Burnquist attributed Brookhart's nomination to Iowa's determination to obtain farm aid. The candidate and the organization are close together in their views on the need Of legislation, although Brookhart has gone farther than his party in his demands.
