HUSTON CALLS
PARTY CHIEFS;
MAY QUIT JOB
Conclave Will Be Held Mon
day at Capital G. 0. P.
Headquarters.

By United Press
WASHINGTON. June 2s-Chair-
man Claudius H. Huston of the Re-
publican national committee became
the center Of lively political interest
here again today as a result of his
sudden call for a meeting with Of
ficers of his committee and chair
men Of the senatorial and congress
sional campaign committees. 1t will
be held at Republican headquarters
here.
Speculation Immediately arose as
to the possibility of Huston an
nouncing his resignation at the
meeting, which was set for a week
from Monday, as a dramatic climax
to the attacks upon him for his
lobbying activities and alleged stock
market speculation.
In his letter to the party leaders,
Huston said he wanted to discuss
some matters of Importance con-
corning the forthcoming campaign
on which I prefer to have your
counsel and advice" Republicans
face a stiff fight in the congress
sional elections this fall.
An emissary of the young Turk"
group, which is composed of the
younger Hoover supporters in the
senate, went to him and discussed
the matter with him some months
ago, during the senate lobby inves-
tigation, but little has been said
since that time.
Only recently, Huston wrote a let
ter to members of the national COM
mittee defending himself from the
senatorial charges and denying them
in detail
His resignation would have to be
acted upon by the full national
committee, though he could natu-
rally submit it first to President
Hoover, who designated the ap-
pointment.
The congressional and senatorial
campaign chairmen have nothing
officially to do with his position.

Bu United Press
KANSAS CITY. June 28.-Wor-
ried wheat farmers labored to COM
plete the harvest today, and Won
dered if the returns would pay of
last years debts and SOW a new
crop.
Many looked out over mortgaged
farms and saw their wheat piled
upon the ground. Others made ar
rangements to renew notes while
their wheat lay in storage elevators,
awaiting rise in prices.
Throughout the southwest grain
belt, the only farmers to sell their
wheat weer those financially unable
to hold the crop for higher prices.
For the most part, farmers refused
to accept 65 or 70 cents for the
grain which cost them in many
cases more than that to raise.
Only in Texas, where the wagons
price had increS ed to 10 cents
bushel, were farmers selling their
grain.
"They can not afford to hold it
over for a better price" said Victor
Schoffelmayer, agricultural editor OF
the Dallas News. THE plight of the
wheat and cotton farmer is the
Same-terrible.
In Oklahoma, only about Is per
cent of the new wheat was being
sent to terminal elevators for sale.
The other IS per cent was being
stored in country elevators.

broke if they sold their wheat at

His wife left the stage, the
dukes fortunes dwindled until in
1918 he had disposed of most OF
his holdings and had only an an
nuity of $1,000 remaining.
He went to India and upon his
return the pair separated, the
duchess giving her son to the
Leinster family to be properly
educated. She lived on a meager
allowance.
In 1925 petition of divorce was
filed against the duchess by the
duke, who charged misconduct.
The duchess defended the action
and the petition was withdrawn.
The chapter which finally has
ended in divorces, began when the
beautiful duchess met Stanley
Williams, 26-year-old chef, who
was married.
Then, in March, she and Will
liams argued about a radio con-
cert. Williams slammed the door
and Separted.
The duchess attempted suicide
by inhaling gas, according to the
decision of a police magistrate at
Lambeth, London, when she was
remanded for two years.
Newspapers carried lengthy &C
counts of the incident and shortly
thereafter the duke of Leinster
again filed a petition for divorce.
He named Williams in the suit.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Prohi-
bitions enforcement under Attorney
General Mitchell after July / is
to be concentrated more than ever
before in those areas where public
opinion is sympathetic with the dry
law, it strongly was indicated today
as the justice department prepared
to assume command.
In the wet states where little or
no cooperation is forthcoming from
state authorities, the governments
prohibition enforcement efforts will
be little more severe than they are
now, it was intimated.
Where local authorities cooper
ate. however, intensive campaigns
will be conducted by the federal
dry army to enforce the law.
Clear indications that this will
henceforth be the governments
policy was offered by MitchelIS
statement announcing plans for the
transfer of prohibition from the
treasury to the justice department,
which said:
I'm those states which have re-
pealed enforcement statutes and
whose authorities do not perform a
proper share of the work, there have
been, and will continue to be, grave
deficiencies in enforcement. Where
such conditions exist they are a
matter Of choice with the states"
Mitchell said the justice depart
ment will seek conferences with
state authorities relative to the part
the states are to play in prohibition
enforcement and will seek to obtain
that degree Of law observance and
enforcement which can only come
through the united efforts of the
state and federal governments"

After having practiced until he
has perfected execution Of the wind
mill stroke and flutter kick, the

A. Practice previous days lesson.
B. Conduct breathing exercises as
previously explained.
D. Getting the ship sailing. This

The windmill stroke of the arms,
paddle wheel flutter kick, and
breathing must be co-ordinated.
These movements must be executed
slowly at first. Relax and remember
that the swimmer who works too
hard merely exerts himself and &C
compliShes less than the one who
makes slow, deliberate movements.
