PROGRESS|VES
DON'T WORRY
''0LD GUARD
Third Party Proposal Ruled
Out; Old Line Chiefs Take
New View of Norris Farley

Administration leaders, who are
already busy with plans for re-
nominating President Hoover, are
not especially worried over the
political consequences Of the ma
tional conference Of Progressives,
now in session here.
In the first place, the Progress
siveS have taken particular pains
to disavow any intention Of try
ing to form a third party.
They even went so far as to
exclude from the conference Prof.
John Dewey, the scholarly liberal
Of Columbia University, because
he appealed to Senator Norris Of
Nebraska some weeks ago to lead
a third party movement.
Stay With Parties
In the second place, experience
has shown that with rare eXcep-
tions Republican Progressives re-
main Republican at election time
and Democratic Progressives stay
Democratic.
Senator Norris bolted Hoover
and supported Smith in 1928,
but all of the other progressive
leaders in the present conference
chung to their regular party af-
filiations.
One of the severest critics Of
President Hoover in the con-
ference is Senator Borah. Of
Idaho. Yet Borah's party regu-
larity in campaign years is un-
varying.
Even in 1912, the Idahoan re-
fused to follow Roosevelt and
supported Taft.
In 1928, BOrah was probably
Mr.. HOOver'S most effective cam
paigner,, and the betting in
political circles in washington
today is that the IdahOan will be
on the stump again for Mr..
Hoover next year, irrespective Of
what the Republican platform
contains.
I'm Strategic Position
The PrOgressiveS hold the
balance of power in both houses
of the Seventy-secOnd Congress,
which runs ConcurrentIy with the
last half Of President HOOver's
Administration.
It is impossible as Of today to
state which party will be able to
organize either Senate or House.
In the Senate, the Republicans
have a paper majority Of a single
vote; in the House, their paper
majority is two votes.
Deaths, designations, contests
may conceivably change this deli
cate balance several times before
Congress convenes in December.
But whichever party ultimately
is able to organize, the real veto
power rests with a group of about
a dozen Progressive Senators and
group Of about two dozen Pro
gressive Representatives.

APPLIES
NEW SYSTEM

The first application Of the
new Cleveland system designed
to expedite procedure was an
nounced today by Chief Justice
Alfred A. Wheat Of the District
Supreme Court.
A motions court to replace
motions day on Friday Of each
week by the various judges has
been created. This allows the
courts to hold trial hearings five
days a week. The motions Judge
will attend to preliminary court
matters and run a daily assign.
ment designating the hours dur.
ing which motions will be heard.
An assignment justice is also
created under the new rules. One
of the justices of the court will
supervise the work Of Assignment
Commissioner Fred c. O'Connell
whose duty it is to send cases
to the working courts. This will
be accomplished by a notice sent
to his office by trial court clerks
80 minutes before cases on trial
are completed.

which was peremptOrily OverruIed
by JusticA PeytOn Gordon.
Mr.. Jackson contended that
none of the Government witnesses
had been able to sufficiently
identify the three bottles, two Of
Scotch whisky and one Of gin,
which the Government claims
were removed from the Denison
trunk.
Agents Give Testimony
Justice Gordon had admitted
the three bottles in evidence
over the objection Of defense
counsel, indicating that the jury
should determine what weight
might be attached to the evi-
dence after hearing the testi-
mony Of Government witnesses.
Thomas Fleming, prohibition
agent who accompanied John J..
and Basil N. Quinn to Repre-
sentative Denison's office early
in January, 1929, was the first
witness called today.
Fleming testified that Repre-.
sentative DenisOn was startled
when the contents Of the trunk
were revealed. He was unwilling
to identify the bottles positively
and asserted that they looked
like the same bottles which were
removed from the trunk.
Bottles Were Examined
Albert Spear, for IS years a
chemist in the Prohibition Bu-
reau, testified regarding analysis
he made Of the three bottles.
One bottle Of "Stey. Royal
Scotch Whiskey" was examined
by him on December II, 1929, and
found to contain 52.2 per cent Of
alcohol.
The second bottle Of Scotch
whiskey of the same brand was
examined by him last Saturday,
DR.. Spear asserted, and found to
contain 4S.3 per cent.
Close questioning by Defense
Attorney William e. Leahy failed
to draw from the chemist an ex-
PLANTATION as to the wide variance
in alcoholic content Of the two
bottles, although he maintained
that both bottles contained gen.
uine Scotch whiskey.

Norris Sees Young
ProgressiUes
Carrying On

The newer generation of pro.
gressives will be able to accom-
plish more than the old, it was
predicted today by Senator
George w. Norris.
Introducing Senator young
Bob" La Toilette to the progress
sive conference today, Norris
said:
"T realize that am rapidly
going down where the shadow
of the setting sun is cast east
ward.
81 realize that the banner Of
human happiness and progress
will be in the hands Of younger
people, who will carry it farther
up the mountain side than we
have been able to do"
Turning to young La Toilette,
he said:
with the heritage Of his
father, the time will come when
: he will put the light Of human
happiness higher in the sky

BOMBAY CLASH
INJURIES 18

BOMBAY, March IL Q.N.S).
Eighteen persons, including the
president of the Indian Congress
war council, were injured today
in a clash between members Of

The fight arose over conten-

House, which was restored to the
congress under the terms of the
agreement reached by Mahatma
Gandhi and Viceroy Irwin a few
days ago.
The MoSlemS were reluctant. to

RefOrm0tOry Fire
Laid on IncendiGrY

CFIEETENHAM, Md, March IL.
Belief that the $4,000 fire which
destroyed the entire stock OF
brooms in the factory of the
House Of Reformation here, was
set by an incendiary, has been
expressed by j.. F. Ripple. The
steel and brick structure which
housed the factory was but
slightly damaged.
No investigation, however, will
be made into the fire unless done
by the insurance company. John
PyleS, superintendent of the re.
formatory for colored boys, called
out all inmates to help fight the
blaze.

she missed him when he was
away from her.
In her statement to police she
admitted that Huff would come
to see her two or three times a
week, while Dulaney was at work,
leaving before he returned.
Only a week ago, she said,
Dulaney returned earlier than
usual and Huff fled out the back
door. Dulaney's suspicious were
aroused, she said, and he told her
that one Of them would have to
leave.
Monday night he returned early
and summoned Policeman Walter
Dant, telling him there was a
man in his house. While Dant
went up the rear stairs Dulaney
entered the front, went to the
bedroom, found Huff trying to
escape.
Shooting Described
Dulaney reached under the
mattress, whipped out q pistol
and fired four shots, three of
them striking Huff. Policeman
Dant rushed in, disarmed Du.
Ianey and demanded why he had
fired. Dulaney replied.
That man broke up my
home"
Huff died several hours later at
Casualty Hospital, and Dulaney
was charged with murder. At the
inquest yesterday Dulaney did not
take the stand.
Action Is Surprise
The action of the Grand Jury
in freeing Dulaney came as a
great surprise. Attorneys said they
can no. recall when a District
Grand Jury has ever before acted
in such a manner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Johnson,
parents of Mrs. Dulaney, declared
that they would stand by him in
the case, and the wife declared
she would testify in his behalf.
The DulaneyS have four chill
dren. Two of them were asleep
in the bedroom at the time Of the
shooting.

ment. He says:
'There are in the Soviet
Union adequate resources in
raw material and labor to ex.
ecute the five-year plan.
Economic Life NatiOnalized
"The mobilization of the. ma.
final income to finance the
expansion is made possible by
the naturalization of economic
life.
"But the economic factor is
not the only one involved in
the Communist plan. In the
Judgment of some, the psyche
logical factor will be the de-
termining one.
''The willingness to accept the
cost of the experiment is one Of
the strongest forces behind it.
The use of coercion to secure an
expression Of this willingness is
an undOubted fact, but it does
not destroy entirely the positive
value Of this factor.
"COmpuISion is used with dis
elimination and in varying de-
greeS, always well coated with
the sugar Of propaganda.
Coated With Sugar
"There is q limit to every.
thing, however. COmpulSion
cannot be used indefinitely, nor
does propaganda work effec-
lively regardless Of the time eIe-
ment. But propaganda is very
effective when it is concrete and
closely tied up to the tasks Of
wOrk-a-day life. The five-year
plan of economic expansion, as
the concrete expression Of the
Socialistic offensive in a third
period of. the revolution, is also
an instrument of propaganda"

Answers Criticisms
Answering the criticism that
the commissions conclusions diff.

port, he said:
81 think careful study Of all
these documents will satisfy any
impartial mind that these diff

ills recognized in the report.
"The report frankly recOg.
nizeS the evils which have de-
velOped in the course Of 10 years
of the administrations Of the

nevertheless points out that the
great achievement Of the act
has been the abolition of the

Again discussing differences
among the commissioners, he
said:
"The members Of the commits

reasonable probability that the

WickerSham said the report
emphasizes the fact:
'That every plan Of control
must start from the funda-
mental fact that the business

that to set up q unified force
