 The merits of this plan, I sub init, are two: First, We set up an organization where responsibility is coupled with power. This is the only sound principle where results arc desired. 1t is used in govern ment and in business. Second-the party retains complete control through the regular power of clcc- tion.
 Answers Possible Criticism
 "It it be argued that too much power is placed in the hands of one or two men and that they will build up a personal machine which can- not be removed, l say, that the same argument can be urged against the government of Connecticut, ot the United States and against every successful business enterprise.
 T submit to you that if We ere ate an effective fighting machine, if we select as leaders persons who will not only have our own con- fidencc, but that of a substantial number of independent republicans, and if We stand for sound principles of government in season and out. and do not sacrifice them to suit the desires of particular candidate, we are bound to succeed"

CAP0NE MISSING; EN ROUTE HOME
Ruse Enables Gangster to Make
 Cover UnobSefYed

Chicago, March IS RF" "Scarface" Al Capone today was "lost" in that fog of mystery that shrouds gang lands activities.
 The Chicago gang leader. released yesterday from the Eastern peniten- tiary at Philadelphia, was variously reported as heading homeward in train, an airplane and an automobile. On one point all the rumors were agreed-that was that Capone was coming back to Chicago where he achieved wealth and notoriety as the nations biggest gangster.
 Date Of Return Uncertain
 How or when he would return was merely a matter of so much con- lecture. HCapone's Chicago associates followed the usual gang custom of admitting nothing and denying nothing.
 It seemed obvious, however. that he would not make d public display of his return. In the first place. there are enemy gangsters, reported anxious for the chance to avenge the deaths in their ranks attributed to Capone's henchmen. In the second place the police have indicated they will treat Capone like any other hoodlum" and picAkhim Up on sight.
 The most generally accepted re- port was that Capone, was on the Broadway limited Of the Pennsyl- vania system, accompanied by Frank Cline, the bodyguard who served ten months with his chief on charges of carrying guns, and others of his fol- lowers. The trains schedule calls for arrival in Chicago at 10 a. m. But 1t was considered unlikely that Capone would stay aboard that Ions, it lie was on the train at all.
 Planed RumorS Secuted
 The chances that Capone would return by airplane were slim. The municipal airport said weather con- ditions made flying almost impossi- ble last night and this morning.
 Although city police posted squads near the CapoHe home and at other points where they thought the gang ster might appear. federal authori- ties announced they would not molest him at present,
 Capone is under s5,000 bond on a federal contempt of court citation which charges him with giving false affidavit. This action resulted from his affidavit last year that he was too ill at his Miami estate to return to Chicago and appear before a grand jury.
 District Attorney George F. Q. Johnson said this c@c. will be brought to trial before April l5 and that in the meantime Capone's bond is adequate and tho government will not trouble him.

Tree After 10 Months

Philadelphia, March IS Pl- "Scarface Al' Capone. Chicago racketeer, is free today after spending ten months in the Eastern State penitentiary. But his where aboutS was q mystery.
 With his bodyguard, Frank Cline, the gang chieftain was released yesterday from the unwatciled gate of the new penitentiary at Graters- ford, 80 miles from Philadelphia, while hundreds of curiosity seekers, newspaper men and motion picture photographers stood about the old stone enclosure of the Eastern pen itentiary here waiting to get a glimpse of them.
 The prisoners had been spirited to GraterSford carly in the day while officials awaited the arrival from Harrisburg of the necessary release papers signed by Governor Fisher. Capone and his pal had been sentenced to one year each for carrying deadly weapons, but two months was cut off on account of good behavior. They were entitled to their freedom at midnight Sum- day, but it was delayed by the ab- sence of Governor Fisher in the West Indies.
 Decline to Reveal Place
 Caponc and Cline slipped away unseen except by prison officials. These officials declined to reveal their destination, if they knew it. Neither would they state whether the two men had been met outside the prison gate by friends.
 In announcing their release four hours after they had been set free, Herbert Smith, warden of the peni- tentiary, said they had been taken away in g. "brown autom obile," and told newspaper men to "try 10 find out where they had gone. They did try. Br. their efforts met with no success, and no trace of Capone and Cline had been found early to- day. Local police expressed the be- lief that they headed for either Chicago or Miami, Fla. Capone has an estate in Miami and his wife
 
 spent the winter there.
 Plane Seen at Field
 To add to the mystery, a huge tri-motored airplane. seating If persons, landed at the Central air port in Camden, N. J.. across the Delaware river from Philadelphia, shortly before 6 o'clock last night. It was reported that the machine, which came from Valley Stream. l.. l., had been chartered to take Capone back to Chicago. The pilot Gilbert Wallace, said he did not know what the next leg of his flight would be and that he had instruc- tions to await telegraphic orders 1 from New York.
 | He was still awaiting these orders early today. This led to the belief that the chartering of the plane might have been a ruse designed to confuse possible enemies of Capone. In explaining why the prisoners had been transferred to Gratersford, of the board of trustees of the East ern penitentiary, said the action was taken because of newspaper stories of enemies of Capone, seek ing him at the time of his release. D "The officials of the institution i feel" Dr. Goddard declared that they would not have properly per formed their duties should they have released him from the Phila- delphia institution and subjected him to possible harm, bodily or otherwise"

director of public buildings and

National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission to carry out the
provisions of the Cramton-Capper
bill, which has been signed by
President Hoover.
The bill provides for the expen-

the George Washington Memorial
Parkway from Mount Vernon and
Fort Washington to Great Falls,
with a free bridge at Great Falls
and for the extension of Rock

Government Owns Land
The first step to be taken, ac-
cording to Colonel Grant, is the
purchase of the necessary land
to carry out the measure. This
in itself will be fraught with
many difficulties. said Colonel
Grant, as some of the present
owners of lands will probably ask
more for their property than the
Government is willing to pay. In
cases of this kind, it would be
necessary to institute condemna-

The schedule is not yet far

Colonel Grant, to state definitely

development will be first under
taken. Some of the lands needed
