discovered by the bridge watchman,
who notified the police of the harbor
precinct. Examination at the District
Morgue disclosed traces of bruises
about the head, but, pending an exam
ination by coroners assistants, police
refused to say whether these had been
received while the victim was still
alive. or had been made since the body
was thrown into the river.
In Water for so Days.
The body was that of a man about
As years of age and five feet two inches

was on his way to Washington to
Join fellow veterans in demand

Hanson told police he had been

stole the truck in which he was
making the trip.
In the investigation which fol-
lowed, Hanson's car soon was
located. Police said that they
learned the man was subject to
fainting spells and expressed the
belief that he had become con.
fused after falling and striking
his head on the pavement.

Discusses Hoover Plan
Our government has, under the
leadership of President Hoover and in
cooperation with the leaders of both
parties in congress-" the governor
continued, "inaugurated a so-called
reconstruction program to furnish
millions of dollars in supplementary
credit required by essential industries
including agriculture
AN appropriation of $75 900 900 was
assigned as a source of credit from
which crop production loans were
made to the farmers Of the nation this
year. Another feature of this pro-
gram was the passage of an act fur
nlshlng S125,OO0,000 of new capital for
federal land banks. This should make
it possible for the land banks to carry
most OF their delinquent mortgage
loans until business conditions and
price levels improve.
I shall, if elected to the senate,
deem 1t duty to cooperate with the
administration not only by supporting
this reconstruction program, but by
supporting any other constructive
measures we'll calculated to aid nor
NAL business recovery through federal
credit assistance.
There is growing disposition on
the part OF certain class of political
leaders in this country to put the
United States government into private
business. The citizens of North Da-
kota who have witnessed the failures
and experienced the pains and penal
ties Of excessive government owned
ship should not look with favor on
such proposals.
Il am opposed to these proposals
on principle and believe that to the
extent that we involve the government
in the direct ownership and operation
Of industry it will bring harm to the
country.
Opposes Government Ownership
las against the idea of government
ownership favor the government
regulation Of our public utilities in the
interest Of the public. The govern

er to prevent unfair competition and
to protect the public from exploita-

should be efficiently and fairly dis
charged in the public interest"

TO CLOSE SEMINARY
Will Consolidate Institution at

College

Minneapolis, June 7.-tP)-Long de-
bate over the future of Red Wing
seminary at Red Wing, Mimi, was
settled Monday when the convention
OF the Norwegian Lutheran church OF
America voted to consolidate the
seminary with and move it to st. Olaf
college at Northfield, Mimi.
Last week. at the opening session
OF the Conclave. a recommendation
was made on behalf of the executive
board of the church by DR.. j. A.
Aasgaard, president, that Red Wing
seminary be merged with Augustana
college at Sioux Falls, S. D. The gov
eTning body had urged it be made a
part OF Augustana college as an econ
omy measure and because it's decline
in enrolment had necessitated con-
stantly increasing appropriations by
the church.
ReV. A. j. BergSager, Minneapolis,
synodical financial secretary, reported
to the delegates the church spent
S903,222 in carrying on its work last
year. The amount was approximately
$4,000 less than the 1880 figure.
Rev. c. M. Granskou, for several
years head of Waldorf college, at
