U. $. FLEET MOVING TOWARD ALASKA
Price VieiUs Obstacles
 in PatIl of Third Party
By Byron Price (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press. WashingtOn.)

Third-party talk is prominent In every smoke-filled room discussion of the political outlook for 1886. but that alone does not guarantee that any third party actually will develop.
 Running for President is not quite the simple thing many people sup pose. There is much more to 1t than just announcing a candidacy and setting up a headquarters.
 Presidents are elected not directly by the voters. but by presidential electors. Those who aspire to be- come electors must have their names printed on the ballot in the state where they are running. And get ting names printed on ballots is far from easy.
 State election laws vary widely Some states are very strict about candidates, imposing technicalities that require great deal of work
 For any but an established party of recognized standing and exper- fenced personnel, getting a slate oi electors on the ballots of the 4e states requires a regiment of law yers and plentiful supply of ex- pense money.

 OdMystery
Portland Murder Believed Solved Devils Island
 Convict Did It

PORTLAND, Ore, April 29.-Port- lands most gruesome and myster- ious staying Is years ago, that of Ernest Descamps, may be solved.
 The notorious Underworld char acter, Descamps was slain and his body cut into small pieces and each buried separately.
 Jack Keegan, Chief of Detectives, said a photostatic copy of the alleg- ed confession of the murderer has been received, checked and generally credited by Portland officers.
 Confession Authentic
 Keegan said Jack Dewitt, trav- cling correspondent for detective stories magazine, sent him the con- fession and swore to it's authenticity
 Dewitt said he got the confession when he visited St. Jean de Cay- enc, Devils Island, in December 1880, and the day before Edouard Henri Lapin, alias The Rabbit. was guillotined for the murder of an inmate of Devils Island.
 The reputed confession, as trans- lated by the police, said Lepin wrote he cut up the body of his friend placed the parts in newspapers and buried them in various parts of the property where the mar was killed
 Woman In Case
 Justification of the crime re- yerts to woman whose actions never have been able to explain"
 Dewitt told the police in his letter that Lupin said he entered the country illegally, bringing with him a woman with whom Deschamps became enamored which resulted ir the staying.

LITTLE CONCERN REPORTED OVER THIRD TICKET
Old Timers Dis oun Scheme to Get Three
 Men Together

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Despite persistent third party talk, political Washington seemed less inclined to give it serious heed this last week end than previously. Old timers were watching such incidents as the Midxest farmers meeting at Des Moines tonight but did not consider it especially significant. They noted attempts to unite sympathies of Senator Huey Long, Father Charles E. Coughlin. Milo Reno. Farm Holj- day Association head, Dr. F. E. Townsend and other advocates of change but were mindful that prac- tical difficulties were involved.
 Townsend has already passed the word he would have nothing to do with a third party and Father Coughlin recently has come out with a reitteration of his Roosevelt or ruin" slogan.
 No Apparent Movement
 While most third party men ex- pected the New Deal to swing to left it was recalled that Governor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia bases his expectation of third party ticket in 1886 upon his opposition to Roosevelt as an extreme radi- cal Congressional Democrats who have opposed some of the New Deal moves have shown no indication of separati-t movement to the right"
 At Des Moines Senator Long was the speaker of the day and received boisterous welcome for his share wealth program. Long flayed both Roosevelt and Hoover, declaring both promised much but did little under the right conditions.
 G. o. F. in Huddle
 Meanwhile Midwestern Repub- licans were in huddle behind closed doors at Excelsior Springs, Mis- souri, with plans for rejuvenation of the party but reached open agreement only on two points, fight Roosevelt and the call for gen. eral widwestern meeting to draw

MUST HAVE MACHINERY

But that is far from all. Before any effort can be made to put a slate of electors before the voters of any state, it first must be de- cided what names are to appear on the slate.
 For an established party that is easy, the candidates for electors are chosen by slate or direct conven- tions, in which various subdivisions are represented under long accept ed Party regulations. #
 A party starting from scratch must set up all of this machinery for itself. To do the job completely it must make provision in each township or ward for the proper representation of that small unit in the convention which selects the delegates to the convention, which selects the candidates for elector.
 It is true that various third-party ventures have neglected to do any such thorough job choosing theil elector slate and campaign leaders by hit-and-miss methods. But it is equally true that no third party so sketchily organized ever go tc first base.
 All sorts of rivalries within the states have led to the most damag- ing kind of quarrels over procedure whenever new party venture or ganized itself by these arbitrary methods.

F. D. R. OUTLINES PRINCIPLES FOR SPENDING FUNDS
Large Part of Relief Money Should Go for Wages,
 President Declares URGES EXPENDITURE BE MADE DURING YEAR Projects Should Be Locat- ed Where Most Work
 CTS on Relief Rolls

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Defin- itely linking the four billion dol lar work relief drive with his social security program. President Roose- velt Sunday night outlined to the country his six fundamental prin- ciples for allocating the huge job less fund. These six principles, the Chief Executive said in radio address, are:
 That the project should be use ful; that large proportion of the money spent should go into wages; that considerable part of the cost should be returned to the Federal Government; that money expended on each project should actually be spent during the next fiscal year; that projects should employ per sons on relief and that projects should be located in relief areas in relation to the number of workers on relief rolls.
 Simultaneously the President out lined his legislative program for the remainder of this session of Congress. It calls for extension of the MIRA. elimination of unneces- sary utility holding companies. efi- actment of the new Spring bank ing bill, passage of the economic security program which he tied up closely to his work relief plan. In outlining the work relief objectives the President said his responsible ity in carrying out the plan was to tell the people in the country about it.

NEW AIR CHIEF WARNS AGAINST ISLAND ATTACK
U. s. Must Be Prepared to Seize Possessions Tn
 Emergency
REFERS TO BRITISH,
 FRENCH HOLDINGS
Berm uda, Newfoundland, Bahamas, BritishHon-
 duras Vital Spots

WASHINGTON, April 29.-(Copy- right 1885 by Associated Press)-- General F. M. Andrews, chief of the powerful new general headquarters air force, last night told the House Military committee that the United States lin an emergency must be prepared to seize" British and French islands near A merle al n shores. Appearing before a secret session of the House committee An drews made a statement supporting the air base measure which would authorize half a dozen strategic army aviation centers, it was later revealed.
 Must Be Prepared
 Andrews said even with Canada neutral an enemy has the following bases available: Newfoundland, St. Pierre, Miquelon on the French Islands near Newfoundland, Ber- muda, Bahamas, Jamaica, Trinidad, British Honduras and the lesser Antilles. To insure against air attacks being launched from any of these bases in time of emergency they must be kept under surveil- lance to discover any evidence of preparations of such bases. We must be ready to bomb such install lations as soon as discovered and if the situation is sufficiently vital and requires it we must be prepared to seize these outlying bases to pre- vent their development by the enc my as bases of operation against us.p
 The air chief did not explain what he meant by emergency" but prior statements said he meant if Canada joined a coalition against the Unit ed States.
 Canal Dangers
 At another point andrews ex- pressed concern about certain As- iatic powers" which, he said, had hundreds of instructors training the Peruvian army. In this connec- tion it was pointed out that Peru is about the same distance from the Canal as the southern tip of Florida.
 Ut is not beyond the realm of possibility that some fine morning we may read that there has been successful raid against the Panama Canal as the initial step prior to a declaration of war, Andrews said.

AGREE TO DISAGREE

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Presi- dent Roosevelt and organized man. ufacturers found themselves in agreement over the brightness of recovery prospects but sharply di- vided as to what cards the New Deal play next.
 Congress is freshly bidden by the President to speed controversial measures but the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers wants much of the Administrations legislative program shelved for the time being.
 Recovery Sensed
 President Roosevelt said last night that never since his inauguration had he sensed recovery so unmis- takably.
 The statement today by the man. ufacturers said the country is near CT breaking the back of depression" than at any time since recovery began.
 While the President urged immed- fate rounding out of the program of economic social reconstruction, the manufacturers said this Congress should not consider measures which would be disturbing clement and compel a halt while industry makes necessary adjustments.
 Postponement Sought
 The legislation the industrialists want postponed include uhemploy- ment insurance, certain provisions of the security bill, omnibus bank ing bill and bill to abolish utility holding companies
 The President advocated prompt passage of these treasures.
