COFFIN RIVALS
CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR new Chief
Prepare to BaIk Chairman'S
Move in ReOrganizing
County Party.

George V. Coffn's declaration to-
day that he will not accept re-elec-
ton as Republican county chairman
when the committee is reorganized
in May failed to halt the drive
against Cof1nism by other factions
of the party.
The other factional leaders were
suspicious that Coffin, recognizing
that the linking of his name with
'StephenSOnism' in the long political
corruption inquiry, had SO weak
ened his position that he could not
be elected, is stepping out of the
picture as gracefully as possible With
the intention OF running another
man whom he could control.
Fight Coffin Man"
The opposition was convinced 1t
would have 10 beat a Coffin man"
to gain control of the county or
ganization.
Coffin announced he would call
a meeting OF the various factional
leaders in the county after the pri-
mary election ito have them agree
upon a high-class Republican for
chairman, VINO has not been iden-
titled with any political faction
Collins promise to call the fac
tons together may have resulted,
say his opponents, from the knowi-'
edge that Just such meetings are
being held this week without his
appreciation.
The faction group headed b.
Ralph A. Lemcke; the Otis DOdson,
the Claude E. Negley and William
A. Boyce groups; and the Republican
Reorganization League are figuring
in the conferences, it is understood.
George Denny, chairman of the
executive committee Of the Republic
an Reorganization League, said
anent Coffln's announcement:
1--WE intend to go right ahead try
ing to eliminate factionalism and
assist in electing a truly representa-
tive Republican as chairman"
Urge Early Trial
In a conference with Prosecutor |
William H. Remy and Judge Charles |
NJ. McCabe relative to q. trial date |
for Collins trial on a charge of |
conspiracy to bride former Governor |
Warren T. McCray, Clyde jones |
Collins attorney, said the trial |
should precede the primaries May 8, !
because, Coffin might seek re-
election as county chairman"
Coffin has headed the county or
ganization since 1924, when he over
threw Shank forces. He was elected |
city chairman in 1925, and was re-
elected county chairman in 1926, |
without opposition. He has been |
a force in Marion County Repub-
lican politics for twenty years.

NICARAGUANS
LOSE HEAVILY
TO Marines
Many Casualties Inflicted on
SANDING by Attack
From Air.
~ United Press

~ United Press
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 20.
"A new offensive against the
forces of Gen. Augustine SANDING,
which already is said to have inhict-
ed more losses on the rebel forces
than any engagement since last
July, was under way today.
United States Marine fliers al
ready have directed a deadly bomb
ing attack on the SANDING forces
near a mining region known as
Murra, thirty miles north Of FL Chi
pote. The attack was said to have
resulted in more casualties than
that near Ocotal last July, when
three hundred rebels were killed.
Marine Officer Wounded
One Marine fiier was injured, but
not seriously.
While the Marine ground forces
have not yet had a part in the new
attack-Which Marine officers at the
base here will not explain-they
we're said to be rushing to the
Murra district. The bombing at
tacks will continue today. it was
said.
The one Marine fier injured was
Capt. Francis Pierce, communica-
tons officer, who was wounded when
infantry fire from the rebel guns
pierced the Marine planes. Pierce
was struck in the foot.
The SANDING forces Monday con-
centrated at MuITa, an up-country
mining center, and were massed
there when the first of the cruising
Marine planes swept overhead.
Rebels Easy Target
The bombers went into action.
The Sandinistas were in an open
spot and easy target for the big
American planes. The bombing was
deadly.
Load after load Of the high eX-
plosive bombs we're dropped on the
rebel ranks who could answer only
with infantry fire. Many direct hits
we're struck, according to reports
coming to Managua.
The rebels fought back with their
rifles, and although they hit the
bombing planes, could make no de-
preston in the steady bombing at
tack.
The bombers made three different
attacks Monday. After sighting the
Sandinistas on the open range they
released their entire supply Of
bombs. They made three replen-
ishing visits to the base before call
ing the attack closed for the day.
Losses In Hundreds
NO careful estimate Of the casual
ties to the Sandinistas could be
made, but it was said their losses
we're more severe than in any at
tack since last July, when 300 were
killed.
The bombers planned to attack
again today and it was said that
Marine ground forces were rushing
up to aid in the offensive.
Marine officers here we're silent
as TO the reason for the new Of
fensiYe. It was said recently, IN
connection with announcement that
900 additional Marines were being
sent here from United States, that
the campaign against SandinO
would have TO end in May, as then
is when the rainy season begins.

HARMLESS GAS Can
Be PRODUCED NOW
Possible for Person to Breathe
It Without Danger

Atlantic City, N. j.. Oct. II ~
Revolutionary developments IN the
chemistry OF gas may make IT pos
sible for the gas companies OF
America to produce harmless form
of illuminating gas which can be
breathed in quantity without danger
or discomfort. DR., Arthur ID. Little,
chemist, OF Cambridge. Mass, said
today at the convention Of the Amer
lean Gas Association.
As by-products resulting from the
manufacture of this nom asphyxiat-
ing gas oxygen and solid carbon
dioxide or dry ice could be produced,
he declared. The new gas DR.. Little
explained, can be derived from the
conversion of water gas to methane
or from the direct catalytic treat
ment of mixtures of coal gas or coke
oven gas with water gas In such
balanced proportions that the re-
uuired hydrogen Is present In the
proper ratio to the carbon monoxide
for the production of methane. DR.
Little said the methane would double
the energy carrying capacity OF the
industry's distribution system anc
would enable the gas companies tt
furnish gas which would require nj
primary air at the burner.
