WASHINGTON, Dec. rs. W.p)-
A concrete proposal for the forma-
ton of third party lay today on
the desk of Senator George w.
Norris, insurgent Republican, iii the
form of letter from DR.. John
Dewey of Columbia University.
chairman of the league for the in
dependent political action. Norris
may reply to the proposal today.
Dewey urges Norris to bandon his
efforts to convert the Republican
party to the insurgent Republican
platform and "to come out of it
and participate in the thrill and
enthusiasm of great movement"
Although Norris had not replied
to this letter, he discussed third
party problems recently and esti-
mated the practical difficulties of
organization would be almost in
Surmountable Norris believed at
the time there was no opening for
such movement. The converSa-
ton took place. however, before it
was revealed that Robert H. Lucas,
executive. director of the Republi-
can National committee, with that
organizations financial backi g,
had actively opposed Norris in Me-
braska this year.
Lucas, Representative Will c.
Wood, Republican, Indiana, and
other regulars who have Joined in
approving the attempt to defeat or
GUST Norris from the party, insist
the anti-Norris movement develop
ed wi h out President Hoover's
knowledge. Such insurgents as
Senator Brookhart, Iowa, Borah,
Idaho, Howell, Nebraska, to name
only few, refuse to accept this
explanation and assert the regular
organization opposed others in ad..
dition to Norris.
The controversy is of proportions
warranting speculation regarding q
third party but seasoned Demo-
Gratis, Republicans and insurgents
are convinced no such movement
will develop. They point, as did
Norris, to the difficulty Of creating
national organization and recall
the Roosevelt split in 1912
when even Roosevelt. with his
tremendous personal following. was
unable successfully to lead formal
insurgent movement.
The concensus of opinion appar-
emily is that a third party split
among Republicans would deliver
the 1882 elections and the presi-
6ency to the Democrats.

cution began today the states last
attack IN the murder trial Of J. j.
Maple, who shot down two police
men after robbing the Touchy
Furniture company here on a Sept

ride with him some distance. and
finally. turned an expert pistol on
Motorcycle Officers w. 3. Phares
and Edward Fitzgerald when they
advanced to arrest him. Maple was
tried for ~Fitzgerald's murder.
The attorney dwelt. too. on the
fact that Maple had pleaded guilty
and declared the fact that he did
does not allow him TO escape the
consequences OF his act"
Maple, who refused all along TO
show fear and said on one occasion
that he wanted the chair" sat
through Mr.. Branch's argument
with his customary air Of resigna-
ton.

RAPS HOOVER
Senator Harris Harps On
Mexican immigration

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2-tP1-As-
serting the Hoover administration
made little effort to enforce immi-
grafton laws on the Mexican bor-
der until his measure TO put Mexi-
ian immigration on a quota basis
passed the senate. Senator Harris
Democrat. Georgia. today said he
would renew efforts to secure final
legislative action on the measure
at the December SSssion.
Harris said the state department
recently announced a sharp decrease
in immigration from Mexico. indi-
eating a more active interest IN en-
forcing the law. He added, how
ever, he feared that II his measure
failed Of passage in the house the
administration would become lax
in enforcement"
There was no doubt, he said, that
administration leaders IN the house
prevented placing the bill before
the house for a vote at the last ses-
sion. He said he was confident II
would have been approved by that
legislative branch although he
doubted whether President Hoover
would have signed IL.
We need to exclude the cheap
Mel labor Harris said. He
asserted Mexican labor in Texas was
responsible for a 100000 bale cot
ton sIrnlus this wear. which had
made it impossible for the cotton
farmers OF the South TO receive a
suitable price for their product.
