REPUBLICANS OF
 NEW ENGLAND IN
 NEW LIFE MOVE
They Are COnferring With Leader to Build Up
 Defunct Party

Boston, April 30-U.P)- The New England conference of re- publicans, first of series of reg ional meetings designed to inject new life into the party, was held here to-day.
 Former President Hoover has been credited with having engin- eered the quiet campaign to mar shall republican strength before the 1886 elections.
 Similar conventions will be held later in Baltimore, Kansas City, possibly San Francisco and a city of the eastern midwest region.
 Colonel One of Attackers
 Keynote speakers In the expect ed attack on administration poli- cies were Colonel Theodore Roose. welt, former governor of the Phi lippines and son of the late pres- ident, and Congressman Theodore Christianson, former governor of Minnesota.
 The Massachusetts republican state committee pointed out that particular emphasis would be placed on drive to interest the young people of New England in the republican party.
 It was believed that Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace would come in for large amount of criticism for his policies regard ing the cotton processing tax and his general attitude toward the New England textile industry.
 Colonel Roosevelt, president of the National Republican Club, was to address the meeting at the Wo- mems Republican Club at D. m.
 Christianson was to be the prin- cipal speaker at banquet at the Chamber of Commerce building at 6:30 D. m.
 Talked With Hoover
 It was understood that plans for these conventions were discussed by MT Hoover with party leaders during his recent travels about the country. The former president, however, 1t was reported, has em phasized that he did not desire to be considered d candidate, and the conferences primarily are to strengthen party lines rather than pcall attention to any particula! candidate.

ILLINOIS FACES STARVATION IF
 NOT RELIEVED
Legislature DeadlOcked on Relief So Government
 Funds Are Kept Out

Chicago, April 30 L. (U.P.) - More than 300, 1000 deetitue families in Illinois hoarded the last crusts of scanty relief rations to-day as Governor Henry Horner carried an appeal for funds direct to Presi- dent Roosevelt. Unless the pres- ident overrides a refusal by Harry l.. Hopkins, EZRA administrator. to give the state $14,000.00 or the legislature at Springfield breaks a deadlock on revenue bills, organiz- cd relief will be shut down in all but a few of the states 102 coun- ties at midnight.
 The governor described the plight of 1,200,000 needy, half of whom are in Chicago and Cook County. as ''yersing upon starya- tion." Hopkins. referring to the states relief situation as "a pain in the neck," told Horner that no federal funds would be forthcom- Ing until the legislature provides $3,000,000 a month as it's share of unemployment aid.
 Going to White House
 T am going to the White House in 2 final effort to prevent suffer- ing and starvation among our peo- ple in event the legislators fail to act" the governor said in a tele- gram from Washington. Meager food orders will be continued in Chicago and 23 counties for few days, but in most communities the dole clients will be thrown upon private charities immediately. Chi cago's 23 relief depots were closed and squads of uniformed police pa trplled the curbs where families gathered and read large signs, mo orders until further notice."
 Mothers. accompanied by thread bare children and carrying empty baskets, gazed at the padlocked doors in bewilderment.
 The city's 500, 900 indigents were being cared for temporarily by county officials who took over the stalled relief machine and raised 1,200, 900 from an unused poor re- lief bond issue. The sum will pro- vide food for only few days, however.

 Steaming northward toward a rendezvous somewhere off the Aleutian islands, where the main maneuvers begin Friday, the tow ering dreadnaughts and the squat destroyers began to form the two lines-attack and defense-they will maintain in the annual war games.
 The vast trainglc formed by the western coast of the United States, the Alaskan peninsula and the Ha- waiian islands will be their proving grounds for the next month.
 Close To Japan Islands
 Some of their movements may carry the American warships close naval and other governmental ex- to islands claimed by Japan, whose perts have expressed criticism of the territory selected by the United States admlrals for their battle practice.
 Many of the fighting vessels will be docked in San Francisco today to remain until the word is sent for them to rush out against the at tack of d mythical enemy. which will be represented by a fleet divi- sion commanded by Vice Admiral Arthur Hepburn.
