HEFLIN HINTS AT POISONING
IN DEATH OF OHIO SENATOR

'Willis was engaged in bitter
fractional fight which he was win
ming easily. He had asked his wife
that no one disturb his body for Il
day in event of death, indicating he
might have feared poisoning.
cit looks very peculiar to me.
Why should the most vigorous man
in the senate suddenly slump over
dead? And the fact that he re-
marked that he never felt that way
before showss there was something
unusual about his condition.
"I am not accusing anyone, but
| am saying that a careful cXamina-
tion should be made.
q consider thai the finest tri-
butte Ohio could pay Willis would
be to 90 ahead and elect his dele
CATION as an uninstructed unit. Will
lis stood there in the senate and
fought for prohibition and law en-
forccmcnt. He deserves this tri-
butte from his people,

'political intimidation.

THIRD REICHSTAC
COLLAPSES UNDER
POLITICAL ROWS
By ERIC KEYSER
(United Press Staff Corresnnnf

BERLIN, March 81. - Internal
political differences mainly concern
ing cultural items like educational
reform caused premature termina-
tion of Germany's third post war
r"ichstag today, nine months before
expiration of the constitutional four
year term.
During its life time the third
%eichstag witnessed the birth of four
cabinets. The first and last, the
Nationalists, welded decisive power
COR the first time since the revolu-
tion, while the Socialist party, also
for the first time, was the opposi-
tion party throughout.
This status is clearly reflected in
;hc reichstag's decisions during the
two epochs of nationalist participa-
ton in government. The reichstag
adopted high protective tariffs,
chiefly on agricultural products and
re-valOrized war bonds and other
government and private obligations.
If the nationalists suffer a set
back in the general elections May
20, it probably will be because the
re-valOrization was considered in
sufficient.

WILLIS DEATH
MAY STRENGTHEN
HOOVER POSITION
Commerce Secretary Only
Candidate Left in Ohio
Primaries.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Poli.
ticians here today generally regard
ed the sudden death of Senator Viii
lis, Republican, Ohio, at a home
coming celebration in Delaware.
Ohio, last night as materially
strengthening the presidential cam
paign of Secretary of CONNIE. &C
Hoover.
But they were not altogether
certain that Willis removal from
the ranks of Hoover's bitter foes
significd walkover in the Buck
eye state for Hoover.
While Willis dramatic death
leaves Hoover the only Republican
candidate in the Ohio primary
April "a, it was pointed out two
things could happen with Willis
delegates:
1-They might be chosen by anti
Hoover voters.
2.-They might be swung over to
Hoover if Willis leaders in Ohio
chose to make such switch
The latter contingency, however,
seemed remote to political experts
here, since the fight against Hoover
had been so strong that it seem
cd doubtful such a change could be
made over night.
But, in any case Willis removal
from the battle field meant a SER
ious breach in the ranks of the
"favorite sons group aligned
against Hoover.
Careful ostimaters had figured
Hoover might get 20 of the Ohio
delegates. Willis death, they sug-
gested. undoubtedly meant he
would have considerably more de-
legates and might even have the
entire group.
Should Hoover win the Ohio del
egation he will become a formidable
figure in the Kansas City conven-
tion. Powerful forces have been
working against him and Willis had
carried the burden of the anti-Hoov-
er battle.
Willis, an unusually powerful
orator, had been campaigning in
his home state against Hoover. He
had charged him with being an
enemy of the farmer while head OF
of the war time food administra
ton; had accused him of supporting
what he called the Chicago water
steal, and in the speech he was to
have delivered in Delaware last
night was to have questioned his
party regularity.
Willis was Sc years old. Before
going to the senate he had been
governor of Ohio, member of the
Ohio Legislature and member OF
congress. He was elected to the
senate on the Harding Coolidge
ticket in 1920.
Willis was an ultra dry, both
personally and politically.
Responding to reports that the
Hoover campaign in Ohio has been
dropped because of Willis death
representative of Secretary Hoov
cr said today the Ohio situation
had not been discussed yet by
Hoover.
Observers regarded it as conceiv
able that Hoover s hackers might
refrain from open political activity
temporarily in Ohio but believed
there would be no withdrawal of
his fight for Ohio delegates.
