As for regional headquarters. It
appeared certain today that none
would be established for the south,
as suggested by Senator Robinson.
Most OF the democratic national

voiced the opinion at their New York
meeting that none was needed.
One of the plans under consider
alton is to have regional office for
the west at st. Louis. Kansas City

headquarters other than that operat-

MRS. ROSS, A DRY,
BACKS GOV. Smith
Will Try to Lead Women
Into His Camp

New York, July II CUP Mrs.
Nellie Tayloe Ross. personal and
political dry. has undertaken to lead
the women voters of the country
into the camp Of Alfred f. Smith.
who believes that the prohibition
laws should be modified.
AS director of the women's divi-
sion of the democratic national COM
mittee, Mrs. Ross explained in an
interview with the United Press that
she saw no reason why her position
as dry should interfere with her
efficacy as the outstanding woman
worker for Governor Smith.
Her position is this:
Smith Is Honest
That Smith is honest and that
Smith has ability. Honesty requires
him to enforce all laws including
prohibition.
II believe" Mrs Ross said, that
the women of this country would
rather trust the enforcement of pro-
hibition to man like Governor
Smith than to Herbert Hoover. l
am dry but ! do not recognize Mr..
Hoover as a dry. Neither he nor the
republican party has ever come out
openly in favor OF the Volstead act"
Thus the country is to be treated
to the spectacle Of a former woman
governor. who made a notable rec
ord of enforcing prohibition during
her term of office in Wyoming. cam
paigning In the interests of defeat
ing the party which is being CLASH
fled this year as the dry" party.
Hates Reformers
Mrs. Ross is foe of the profess
sional reformer and says that al
though she kept Wyoming dry while
serving as governor she did not have
the support of the Anti-Saloon lea
que which gave its support to the
republican party.
In the present campaign she holds
that women are more interested in
honesty in government and in farm
relief than in any other issues.
Women voters will give those two
considerations great deal of con-
sideration," Mrs Ross said.
In the role Of "president-maker"
Mrs. Ross intends that her work
shall be shoulder to shoulder with
the work OF Mr.. Raskob chairman
OF the national committee) and his
aides"
II do not believe" she said, that
we should assert ourselves as wo.
men. Our political interests are the
same as those OF the men and we
will work together"
Mrs. Ross said she would appoint
women's advisory committee to
parallel and supplement the advi-
sorry committee Of men appointed by
Raskob.
Has Winning Smile

personality was compared by her
friends during the democratic con-
ferences here this week with the per-
sonality of Governor Smith. Like
Smith. she has q winning smile. She
is noted for her common sense In

writes in short, simple sentences.

building up his campaign organiza-
@lon but It probably will be several
weeks before everything is ship
shape and in full swing.
The membership OF the CAMPAIGN

headed by Senator Gerry of Rhode

is that of the woman's committee

chairman.
In addition, decision must be
reached shortly as to the dates for
the official notification of both Gov.
Smith and Senator Robinson, his
running mate. They will be fixed
after John J. Raskob, the new chair
man of the democratic national COM

suit both nominees. The general
prediction is that the democratic

the ceremonies for the two repub-

CAMBRIDGE Police
SUSPECT PRISONER
Think He May Be Murderer for
Whose Crime Another Died

Cambridge. Mass. July 14-Rl--
Police today were questioning Louis
La, Cedra, "a year old South Boston
youth, in the belief that he was
the man who fired the shot which
killed Edward G. Ross, bank mes
senser, In holdup here three years
ago for WHICH Jerry Gedzium,
known also as Jerry the Pole" went
to the electric chair early this year.
They were investigating also
story that linked La Cedra with the
so-called fish pier" holdup in which
gangsters obtained $1,000 In cash
from bank messengers on the Com
monwealth pier at Boston on the
morning of February 81, Just IS
hours before Gedzium was electro
cuted.
Another Arrest Likely
A third member of the Gedzium
gang who was wounded in the fish
pier robbery but who was not be-
lieved to have been connected with
the Ross shooting was being sought
and his arrest today was regarded
as probable. A fourth gangster
thought to have been a participant
IN the Ross murder was known.
The link between the two crimes
was said to be a message which
Gedzium sent to his gang from the
death house warning them that un-
less money was obtained to take
care of his aged mother he would
"sdueal on the whole bunch"
That, in effect. was said by police
to have been the last message sent
by the condemned man to his
friends.
