/. REPUBLICANS
To ORGANIZE
Plan Spring Party Meeting To
Line Up Candidates For Cam
paign Next Year

WASHINGTON, March 81. U.p)-
Republican leaders from 10 mid
western states have been invited to
join Kansas City rally this spring
to discuss plans for liberalizing the
COP and possibly agreeing on a
farm belt candidate for President.
The gathering probably will take
place in May. 1t was proposed last
January at a Kansas day dinner
and is being organized by John D.
M. Hamilton, Republican national
committeeman for Kansas.
The meeting may become a We
hicle for a presidential boom for
Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas. The
governor is here discussing federal
loans for his state but also has
conferred with midwesterners on
plans for the Republican rally.
Landon gained national promi-
nence in 1882 and 1884 when he
held his state for the Republican
party against the two Democratic
election sweeps.
Rep. u. S. Guyer (Rep.) Kansas,
told the United Press the purpose
of the May gathering would be to
liberalizk the party and possibly
agree on midwest presidential
candidate. The farm belt has been
politically restive since the 1882
Republican reverse.
Would Sidestep East
Guyer said party members from
the middle west felt that if the
COP is to be rebuilt it must be
done on basis of middle western
Republicanism rather than along
the lines of more conservative east
ern leadership.
Farm belt Republicans explained
that the Kansas City meeting would
seek to draft a liberal platform
which would inspire eastern and
western progressive elements with
in the party for the effort to defeat
the "new deal' in 1896.
The Kansas City rally movement
Is challenge to the present party
leadership and represents contin-
uation of the contest begun in Chi
cago last year when Henry P.
Fletcher was named chairman OF
the national committee.
The men leading the Kansas City
movement are regular party men of
liberal farm belt economic and po-
litical viewpoint.
They hope to present to the party
1886 program which will make
them rather than the Charles D.
Hilles-Ogden L. Mills eastern group
dominant in the 1886 campaign.

MIAMI, Fla, March 27. U.H =
President Roosevelt cruiSed in
southern waters today, dividing his
time between perfecting the admin
istration's gigantic works relief
program and in rest and relaxation.
The chief executive was aboard
Vincent Astor's yacht Nourmahal
He transferred from the new des-
troyer Farragut that carried him to
sea from Jacksonville, Fla. With him
are old friends of former fishing
excursions to Florida and the Ba-
hamaS.
Mr.. Roosevelt had with him a
portfolio of detailed plans of a
new works relief set-up that will be
created when the measure calling
for the vast outlay of $4,880, ,00O, ,00O
finally is approved by congress.
Those plans, explored thorough
ly with Harry Hopkins, FERA head
who came down on the train from
Washington with the President, will
receive considerable attention in the
next few days. When the bill ar
rives for signature he will announce
the makeup of the expanded ad-
ministrative force that will be
charged with translating the pro-
gram into speedy action.
The President was happy when
he went aboard the warship. He
stood on the high forecastle deck,
smiled down on the crowd, and
joked with Secretary Marvin H. Nc
Intyre and other members of the
party whose faces he picked out of
the mass of spectators.
The length of Mr.. Roosevelt's
stay depends entirely on the con-
dition of Louis M. Howe, senior Sec
retary, who is desperately i'll at the
White House. For the next several
days the Nourmanal and Farragut,
her escort ship, will remain within
an hours steaming distance of the
coast. 1t is expected, however, that
he can remain away until about
April 10.

PRICE CONTROL
FOR WAR I |ME

WASHINGTON, March 27. U.P)
-Ton-clad control of prices by the
government in wartime, coupled
with heavy taxes, were urged today
by Bernard M. Baruch to prevent
war "from being a profitable in
dustry.'
The Wall street financier, who
was chairman of the World war in
duStries board, laid his views be-
fore the senate munitions commit
tee and offered to help it "arouse
public opinion' for passage of war
profits legislation this session.
Baruch agreed that industrialists
World war profits revealed by the
committee were "utterly indefensi-
ble,' but said he had not known
of them during the war.
The financier defended his own
war record against charges of Sen,
Huey Long and Rev Charles E.
Coughlin, who had pictured him
as a diabolical money master. He
testified that at a great loss to his
personal fortune, he converted
nearly all of his holdings into lib
erty bonds during the war.
The committee will question Bar
UGH on his war record tomorrow,
after examining 100 pages of evil
dence which he presented to "put
and end to the insinuations and in
nuendos'' against him.
Baruch declared himself hearth
ly in favor of the principle of
"paying -you-fight" and DC
clared elimination of war profits
would be the era IS outstanding
accomplishment of social justice. -

For the murdered had to stay by
the body of his victim until the au-
thorities discovered him.
Here is the way the system oper-

If murderer tried to escape. he
could be killed by any member OF the
victims clan. In small tribe he
could not hope to conceal his identity.
If he fled he would be marked man
and soon killed as an outlaw.
But if he stayed by the body
wampum settlement probably would
be made for The life of the victim
by the murderer's own relatives. Then
he could go free.
