TESS PLANS CALL
OF c. 0. P. MEETING
National Committee May
Come Here Late Next Month
or in December.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

A call for a meeting of the Repub-
lican National Committee in Washing
ton either during the last week in No
vember or the first week of December
is being considered by Senator Fess of
Ohio. chairman of the committee.
Senator FeSs, it was understood. is
consulting with some Of the other mem
berS of the committee regarding the
date for the call. Congress does not
meet until December Z, and the argu-
ment advanced for holding the meeting
prior to the assembling of Congress is
that it would leave those members of
the National Committee who are also
members of Congress freer to attend to
their congressional duties than If the
meeting were called later in December.
City and Date Plans.
The national committee meeting will
select a convention city and determine
the date on which the convention shall
open next year Already a number of
cities, including Philadelphia and At
lantic City have sent delegations to
talk with Chairman Tess about holding
the convention in those cities. Chicago.
Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Detroit are among other cities
seeking the convention.
The decision in the matter rests en-
IlIGly WIFI LIE NdIlOIldI
However, there is a feeling that the
convention is likely to go to one of the
Middle Western cities, perhaps Chicago
or Cleveland Such a location would
make it easier for all the delegates to
reach the convention city than loca-
ton on either the Pacific or Atlantic
coast
Notice of the cal of the National
Committee usually goes out at least 80
days in advance of the meeting. Senator
Fess, who is going to Ohio within a
day or two, expects to return here by
october Is and to set the date finally
at that time for the National Committee
meeting.
The Democratic National Committee
is to hold a meeting here in Washing
ton, probably either in December or
January. at which it, too, will pick
convention city and fix the time of
meeting.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover is giving intensive
study to ways and means of putting
the economic structure of the Nation on
a f1rmer foundation.
A variety of proposals are under dis
cussion Wether any of them will
reach the stage Of actual fruition In
the near future remains speculative.
Efforts Continued.
The suggestions reach into many di-
verse ramifications of the business and
economic system of the United States
and touch also upon the world depres-
sion. 1t was said at the White House
today that no one new plan had been
produced as a panacea for the ills of
industry. The present effort is a con-
tinuation of the studies the President
has been making with a view to easing
the situation wherever possible.
At home, the Presidents efforts re-
late to such subjects as the relief of
agriculture, the establishment Of bet
ter permanent fabric of employment,

In the foreign field, Mr.. Hoover is
preparing to speak on international
trade next week at meeting of pan

Mills Is Early Caller.
One feature and another of these

day, Ogden Mills, Undersecretary Of
the Treasury, was an early caller at
the White House
Along with all Of this, the Chief
Executive also is keeping close watch
on governmental expenditures, so the
Government itself may help and not
complicate the situation by its fiscal
operations.
He, likewise, is much interested In
the discussions Of a committee of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, which today recommended
creation of a planning board to help
keep production and employment on an
even keel in times of depression. Still
another subject of constant White
House attention is the work of the
unemployment commission under Wal
ter S. Clifford.

the second time the famous I'VE" couple
have been in an accident.
At Valbuena Field in Mexico City in
February, 1929, Col. Lindbergh and the
then Anne Spencer Morrow capSized as
they landed their monoplane, which had
lost wheel in the air.
Col Lindbergh, realizing he would
either crash or tip over because of the
lost wheel, piled cushions about his
fiance and zoomed the plane to such a
landing that both were but slightly
injured
Reporters and photographers pulled
the pair out of their damaged plane
Are you hurt?" was Anne's first
question.
Are you all right?" asked the colonel,
meanwhile holding on to his limp right
arm.
Yes, I'm all right" she answered.
Took Future Bride AIOft.
They were taken to the embassy and
later transferred to a hospital, where
Lindbergh was treated for a dislocated
shoulder
The next day the couple returned to
the airport, and the colonel, using but
one arm, took his future bride aloft for
three l0-minute flights.
Observers said Lindbergh was incul-
eating an old Army rule. Whenever a
pilot cracks up he is sent right back in
the air Immediately to overcome any
possible loss of confidence that may
have resulted from his experience.
Miss Morrow was nervous when she
made the three flights. but evidently
the old rule worked. For shortly after
ward she learned how to fly, and
months later was accompanying her
husband on his hops from coast to coast

MT. VERNON RAILWAY
WRIT PLEA WEIGHED
Adkins Studies Motion for Injunc-
ton to Prevent Destruction
of Tracks.

District Supreme Court Justice Ad-
kinS took under Amusement today a
motion Of the Mount Vernon. AleXan-
dria & Washington Railway for an in
junction against Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon to prevent destruction of the
railway tracks and other facilities of the
company within the area bounded by
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets, Con-
stitution and Pennsylvania avenues.
Attorney John S. Barbour for the
company pointed out that Treasury
officials had ruled that Congress, by
directing the Secretary to close the
streets, had in effect exercised its right
to repeal the charter of the company
to the extent of the use of those par
ticular streets He contended Congress
lacked power thus to destroy the COM
pany's rights in use Of the streets with
out providing compensation.
Attorney J. r. Benney of the Office
Of the Solicitor of the Treasury and
Assistant United States Attorney John
w. Fihelly appeared for the Secretary
of the Treasury. Attorney Benney re-
lied on the view of the Treasury Off
Gals that Congress has the power to
repeal the charter and that it displayed
an intent to do so In directing the
closing of the streets.

SAYS CALIFORNIA
SOLID FOR HOOVER
Mark Requa, National Committee
man, Makes Prediction on
Viii House Visit.

California the home State of Presi-
dent Hoover, will vote for his nominal
ton to be the Republican standard
bearer in 1882 and will give him an
overwhelming vote for reelection, ac-
cording to Mark Requa. Republican
national committeeman for California,
who is a house guest at the White
House.
Mr.. Requa told newspapermen at the
White House today tina: the President
is popular in his State and that he will
have a solid delegation from California
at the next Republican national con-
vention. Mr.. Requa expressed the opin-
ion that the President is politically
strong also in the other Pacific Coast
States.
There Is some sentiment among DEM
ocratS in California for Franklin Roose-
welt of New York, Mr.. Requa said, but
he believes that at the present time
william McAdoo is the strongest Demo-
crat in that State. He said there Is
considerable sentiment among Califor-
MIA Democrats to run Mr.. McAdoo for
the Senate in the event he is not a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton in 1892.
Mr.. Requa is an old friend of the
Presidents and was associated with him
during the food administration days,
being engaged principally in the con-
servation of the oil industry. He be-
lieves that the oil situation in this
country is in better shape now than it
has been for a long time, since there
has been an effort made to control the
production. He is positive, however,
that the oil industry will never achieve
success in the matter of production con-
troll until there is an interstate compact
agreed upon.
The economic situation in California
and other parts of the Far West. while
not good, is better than it is in the
East, Mr.. Requa said.

CHARGE OF POLICE
BEATING is FUTILE
Man Accused of Resisting
Arrest Shows Broken Arm,
but Is Fined $50.

The charge that he had been beaten
by police in his arrest failed to help
James Lester, colored. 1900 New Jersey
avenue, upon his appearance in Police
Court today, when the man was con-
victed and fined total OF $50 on
charges of intoxication and disorderly
conduct
Defense Attorney Denny Hughes an
nounced his intention of taking the
case to the Court of Appeals, after Judge
Robert E. Mattingly had rendered his
decision. and Lester was released on
500 appeal bond.
The man appeared for trial with his
left arm broken and in cast, severe
cut on his upper lip, and a shirt, which
he said he wore at the time Of his
arrest, covered with blood and very
badly torn.
Accuses Two Policemen.
He said two second precinct police
men broke his arm as they pushed him
into the patrol wagon after dragging
him from his home last Saturday night.
The officers beat him in the wagon.
Lester testified, and twisted his injured
arm. The police officers were c. r.
Bremmerman and 5. c. Thompson.
He was ordered to wash the blood
from himself at the precinct. Lester
said, and when it was discovered he
was unable to do it without severe pain
one CT the officers at the desk assisted
him. Later Lester was taken to Freed
mems Hospital. but refused treatment,
demanding his own physician. He de-
MED on the stand today that he had
been drinking or that he was in any
way disorderly.
Resistance Is Charged.
The police, in telling their stories,
said Lester was standing in the hallway
of his home swearing loudly, when they
arrived in answer to telephoned COM
plant. They tried to assist him peace
ably to the wagon, but he wrapped his
arms about a porch column, and in
several other ways resisted arrest. 1t
was necessary to struggle violently with
the man to- Subdue him, they said. Both
omitted reference to the broken arm.
The case was decided against Lester
when two colored doctors testified that
he was apparently intoxicated when they
attended him shortly after the arrest.
