 Raleigh, N. C., March 3.-(UP)- The democratic national committee has no power to bind the party to definite policies. in the opinion of former Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, who was on his way to Washington to-day after being given an enthusiastic reception here yes- terday.
 Smith intimated that he might drop" in on the meeting of the com mittee in Washington Thursday.
 Concerning the possibility that the committee might make a declara- ton on the prohibition question, he said that the power to determine party policies belongs to the nation- al convention.
 He added that he had no idea whether prohibition would be the dominant controversy in 1892.
 Smith received a tremendous ova- afternoon in a theater, which was crowded, with many people standing outside.
 He described the reorganization of the New York state government, which was of particular interest here, since similar program is under way. He advocated reorgan- ization here along the lines taken in New York, and commended North Carolina as the first state to take over entire maintenance and build- ing responsibilities for every road in the state.
 He urged that the only elective state officers should be the governor, lieutenant governor and auditor saying that New York made a mis- take in letting the attorney general remain an elective official.

$1OO,OOO Bonds
 for Suspects

Mclaughlin of the Bronx, in charge of the case, who made public parts of Miss Gordon's diary in which she foretold her death-apd named John A. Radeloff and Samuel Cohen as the men who would kill her.
 This was taken as an unofficial reply to the habeas corpus proceed ings by which the two men hope to gain freedom to-day.
 Of Radeloff, her companion in va- rious allegedly shady transactions and her lawyer, Miss Gordon wrote on February 13, 1929: eff anything happens to me, he is to blame"
 A later entry quoted a converse ton, apparently in reference to her, in which Radeloff was reported to have said: "We'll take her out some- where-no one will know what hap will be missing, including the ring"
 A ring and fur coat worth $2,500 which Miss Gordon wore were miss ing when her body was found.
 Another diary entry said: sam Cohen is the one who was to have knocked me off last winter"
 Some of the connections Miss Cor don had with the racketeering fra ternity of Broadway were told to Referee seabury of the appellate division inquiry yesterday by Mrs Caasie Clayton of Erie. Pa, a friend of the murdered woman.,
 Miss Gordon's rise to fame and fortune after her release from Bed- ford Reformatory, where she was sent on an allegedly framed vice charge, was rapid. Tn association with Radeloff, she progressed from lodgings on the lower East Side to apartments in the Waldorf Astoria, the Roosevelt and Park Central hotels, to speaking terms with Arnold Rothstein and other big Broadway gamblers, and to ownership of sev- eral profitable rackets.
 Authorities have not yet untangleo her numerous affairs. but entries Tn her diary and other sources have produced references to stock selling deals, jewel robberies, and one racket in particular which seemed to have proved profitable-a blackmail system by which she supplied beau tiful girls for rich mems parties, In. structing the girls to get names ana addresses of their hosts.

McADOO HEARD FROM

Los Angeles, March 3.-UP)-A call to democrats to preserve party solidarity by opposing any attempt to commit it to wet position. at the forthcoming meeting of the demo- cratic national committee in Wash ington, was issued to-day by Will liam Gibbs McAdoo, former secre- tary of the treasury.

 T hope that the national commit tee will work within it's clearly de- fined sphere and leave the determin- ation of the issues to the 1892 na- tional convention"

 Salary Slashed

 cities and boroughs providing for a S2,50O salary.
 When the cities and boroughs committee reported. it reported un- favorably on the $1,000 measure and favorably on the substitute bill, providing for the $2,500 salary. When this was disclosed it caused considerable comment in Nauga- tuck with the result that it has now been decided to approve salary of $1,000.
 Furthermore, in view of the at- tempt made to raise the warden to $2,500 yearly by the filing of last minute substitute bill, it is likely now that even to get the $1.000 sal- ary bill across the legislature, in- stead of granting the raise, will ap- prove the jump in salary but refer the matter to the people of Nauga- tuck for a referendum so that they may have a voice in the final appro- val of the idea.

PLANE USED TO
FIGHT FROST
New Plan of Protecting
Crops Against Frost
Is Interesting :.

A. 1. Smith, of the Columbia
Garage, also owns a cherry ORCH
ard up the River Road. Naturally
he is interested in frost protection.
Recently he heard of a successful
trial of new principal, down in
Texas. The plan was to agitate
the air and thus prevent the sett-
ling of the frost. 1t seemed to
work. A letter from there indicates
the method. The letter follows:
Sin response to your letter,
have Just talked with the company
which employed the airplane to
fly over their 250-acre patch of
beans near Raymondville several
weeks ago and prevented frost
and they said the experiment was
we'll worth while. They saved their
beans from the cold except for a
small patch around the edge where
the plane was forced to increase
its altitude to make the turns.
"The lowest temperature was be-
tween 80 and 80 degrees, which
would have caused a terrible loss
had it not been for the air stirred
up by the plane.
"The cost of the plane was S25
per hour and was employed four
hours, flying from about three o.
clock in the morning until sunrise.
Mr.. Morris stated that if some
form of blower could be arranged
in connection with the plan it would
have proved even more satisfact-
- l-4 Il.
plane could have covered 500 or
1000 acres just as well as $50.
"Mr. Brown White. also of San
Benito. has used this method sue
cessfully with his potatoes"
Mr.. Smith states that he thinks
satisfactory substitute could be
rugged up, mounting an airplane
propeller on a secondhand AUTO
mobile engine at cost of little
more than hundred dollars. He
is seriously considering giving the
plan a trial another year.
