VETS COUNCIL
KEEPING OUT OF
PRESIDENT RACE
Refuses to Take Sides for
Roosevelt or Hoover; In
Congress Fight.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-Organ-
lied vets today refused to take sides
in the presidential campaign.
With almost all the vets and drys
now on record, only two groups def
nitely have taken a stand with re-
spect to President Hoover and
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Women's Organization for
National Prohibition Reform, which
is wet, has declared for Roosevelt,
while the Allied Forces for Prohi-
bition have announced support of
Hoover.
The announcement Of the vets
course by Pierre S. Du Pont, presi-
dent Of the United Repeal Council,
said they would devote their ener-
gles principally to the election of
Republican and Democratic mem
bers of congress who favor repeal.
The Democrats straight-out re-
peal and modification plank on
which Roosevelt is running gets the
councils praise, but it prefers to
carry on ''nonpartisan" campaign.
The councils position" said Du
Pont, entirely is nonpartisan. 1t
expects to support legislative candi-
dates Of each Of the major parties.
1T is concerned solely with the
one issue for which its organization
originally was effected, and it will
not be diverted from that issue by
eXtraneous subjects"
The vets decision caused some
surprise. One factor leading the
Democrats to go the whole way was
the belief that they might gain ia
vor with snti-prohibitionists resent
full against the Hoover dictated
plank in the Republican platform.
1t is believed in political circles
that the councils decision makes it
all the more necessary for the Dem
ocrats TO persuade Alfred F.. Smith
to take an active part in the cam
paign.
AS the party's leading wet and
sponsor Of the repeal proposal, it is
felt that the 1923 nominee can off
set the failure of the organized vets
to declare whole-heartedly for
Roosevelt.
The council embraces the follow
ing wet groups: Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, Cru
saders, Women's Organization for
National Prohibition Reform, the
Voluntary Committee of Lawyers
and the American Hotel Associa-
ton.

After figuring in the price Of
the average Iowa's farmers land,
the taxes he pays annually, the
money he spends on improve
ments, farm machinery, labor, up
keep and SO on, the percentage
that ought to be charged off for
depreciation, the farm strike lead
ers have arrived at totals which,
they say, actually represent the
unit cost of production on the av-
erage Iowa farm.
Their figures, whether you &C
cept them or not, are interesting.
They show, for instance, that it
costs the farmer 80 cents a bushel
to raise corn. The average price
for corn, over a f1ve-year period,
is SO cents bushel.
They show that it costs him
$1.36 to raise a bushel of wheat.

MOVEMENT SPREADS
IN SOME DISTRICTS

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 24.-(P)-Two
victories marked the course OF the
midwest farm strike for higher prices
Wednesday, as the movement spread
in some quarters and receded IN
others. Interference with rail trans
portation continued.
Both victories were scored IN Ne
braska where milk producers gained
higher prices for their products. At
Omaha officials of the Iowa, Nebraska
Cooperative Milk association consent
ed to pay 81 per hundredweight for
milk, compared with a previous top
of $1.45, while at Lincoln milk deal
ers agreed to pay $1.80. an increase
of 40 cents over the previous figure.
More than 1000 agriculturalists
were assembled in camps along the
main highways leading into Omaha
but there were reports some of the
picketeers were in dispute as to the
best method Of enforcing the farm
ers' holiday. The army near Omaha
was reported to be leaderless. one OF
the farmers declaring the trouble was
that they had too much leadership

accounting for the disappearance Of
the Haven family"
The general circumstances Of the
crime are such as may we'll give rise
to the conviction that 1t was the work
Of more than one person and that the
motive was to supplant the Ravens In
the enjoyment of the property which
they had accumulated" the supreme
court said.
There is e,undant evidence that
the appellant entertained or shared
such motive. He was the one who
obtained the fruits Of the crime in
so far as they were realized"

Charles Bannon to have disappeared
prior to February 10, 1880. The fam.

casionally worked for the Ravens and
prior to the murder had lived at the
farm. His father resided on q farm
four miles northwest of the Haven
place.
Offered Explanation
When the disappearance Of the
Haven family was noticed by neigh
bors, Charles Bannon explained that
owing to mental pecularities exhibited
| by Mrs. Haven it had become neces-
sary to take her from the farm
Charles Bannon took possession OF
the place, and when suspicion was
aroused he was charged with grand
larceny, the claim being that he APP

the bodies were buried. At the time
