CLUB, WOMEN WANT
 HICKMAN EXECUTED
L@ Angeles Organization Issues
 Apptls

Los Angeles, Jan. II (UP) Club women of Los Angeles will demand that William Edward Hickman, con. fessed slayer Of Marion Parker pay for his crime on the gallows. 1t was indicated here today.
 A resolution asking that the ex- treme penalty be enforced was adopted by the Cosmos club prom inent woman's organization at . meeting here Tuesday night.
 This resolution opened what was declared to be . state wide move ment among women's organisations to ask for capital punishment for Hickman.
 A similar resolution will be sub mited ot the presidents council of the district federation of woman's cluhs. scheduled to meet in Pasadena tomorrow 1t was said.
 The document adopted last night read in part:
 "Whereas 1t has been called to the attention of this club that dan ger exists of miscarriage of justicu in the punishment of William Ed ward Hickman the perpetrator of . fiendish crime and:
 "WhereAs the members of this club fear the effect of such . mis- carriage on other potential criminals: therefore be it.
 Resolved, that members of the Coslpos club strongly protest the ef- forta being made to save this crim- inal from capital punishment and also be 1t resolved that this resolu- ton be presented to the district fed eration of woman's clubs with the request they cooperate"
 In event the resolution should be passed by the district federation 1t. would have the endorsement of 40,- coo clubwomen in Southern Califor- mia.
 Authorities today were attempting. 10 link Hickman with another mur- der while alienists for both state and defense studied the youthful slayer.
 Hickman yesterday fought off three state alienists who attempted to apply . sanity testing instruments !. to him and responded only sullenly to questions asked by his examiners.
 When alienists for the defense ex- amined him, however, Hickman was said to have submitted to tho tests.
 The results of the examinations were not disclosed.
 With fhe sfestimonv nf Roberta Scriver that Hickman resembled the man who killed A. V. Miles, drug store proprietor, officials re-opened that case in an effort to establish a connection between Hickman and the crime.
 The name of Hickman was men tioned at the trial of three men, Phil Roban. Mike Garvey and liar vey Lesher charged with the crime.

 zation in that section.
 All members of the Ns{n blicAn na- tional committee from the north eastern states and from Pennsyl- vania and Maryland have been call- ed to Washington for the meeting and Senator Moses of New Hamp- shire also is to be present. Moses. who served as permanent chairman of the Kansas City convention, is expected 10 be named eastern cam paign manager.
 With the eastern situation provid- ed for, Mfr. Hoover will be pmcti- cally in a position to leave for the
 west. In this connection an an- nouncement yesterday repeated en- phatically tha his program had been definitely arranged and that he will deliver his resignation from the CaDlnet 10 HTeSlQeuL NOOlluSc dt tuc summer white house. Rurnors as to his plans beyond this outline were pronounced unjustifed.
 A report that Secretary Hoover
 had offered the vice presidential
 nomination to Senator Norris of Ne
 braska, while the convention was still in progress received an em- phatic denial. A semi official com
 merce department statement brand
 ed the story as "preposterous of .

 California vs. Princeton and liar ward vs. Columbia in eight cared duels stood out as the leading mat urals" on the opening days program of elimination heats while the pros pective appearance of Yale's spec tacular crew against Jim Rice's Wyandotte. Mich., boat club also aroused keen interest.
 Because the Wyandottes were beaten badly in the holiday regatta yesterday by the Penn A. C. which is not even entered in the trials. the Yale-Wyandotte heat, scheduled for 5:S0 o'clock CD. $.

 Of the six sight-oared crews, five of them college combinations which will start after the Olympic prize, only four can survive the day.
 Winners in the three heats and a fourth crew chosen on . basis of comparative times qualify for the semi-final heats set for tomorrow.

Hackburne Succeeds Ray Shak
 as Chicago Pilot

Chicago. July Hp-As the Chi cago White Sox sped eastward to- day, Russell Lena" Blackburne, SoN coach since 1926. stepped into his new post as manager of the club. succeeding the veteran Raymond H. "Cracker" Schalk. whose resignation was the surpriss of the Fourth Of July holiday at Comiskey park.
 Schalks resignation was effective immediately after the holiday dou- bleheader. He remained at home to- day as his teammates for the last Is years headed into their second east ern trip.
 Immediately after receiving Schalk's letter of resignation. Presi- dent Charles \. Comlskey announc- ed the appointment of Bla ckburne as the Crackers" successor.
 Schalk, recognized as one of the greatest ball players who ever wore the mask, said in his letter ot reslg- nation that he was stepping out as manager in the hope it will be help ful to the club"
 The team has been going bad. the results have not been satisfac tory, so l step out" was the way he put it.
 Cracker came 10 the White SoN at the age of l9, in 1912 when he was purc hased from Milwaukee for cash and four players amounting to 317,O00. From the start he made . name for himself and 1t wasn't t long until he became the sensation of the league as the Sox catcher From 1913 to 1923 he played in moro than 100 games each season, q record that is likely to stand for several years.
 When Eddie Collins was removed as Sox manager in 1926. Momiskey gave the job to Schalk. Ray never relished the post and on the face m it was not temperamentallv fitted. Some said he was too lenient with the players. and conditions on the club went from bad to worse.
 In his letter to Comiskey. the "Cracker" said his connection with baseball remains in the balance" but he hoped to he would not lose his identity with the game flor some years to come Schalk re- mains on the club roster as property Of the Sox but what may be the next step in the plans of either Cracker" or Comiskey was not made known.
