NORFOLK, Va, June 6 G.N.S0.
Three persons were killed and

two automobiles one mile east of
Norfolk today.
The dead are P. D. Young, dis
tributor for the Norfolk branch

Both suffered fractured skulls and
fracture of both arms and legs.
Although early reports said that
Goodwin was from Washington,
no person by that name could be
located here and later reports de-

DENIED
Convention to Decide
Party Policy Says
Manager
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 6
G.N.S0.-Disavowing any desire
or intention of trying to influence
the selection of a vice president,
or of writing the platform. the
Landon juggernaut moved ahead
steadily today toward first-ballot
nomination in the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
Published reports that the Ian
don forces had committed them
selves to certain specific planks in
the prospective platform were de-
MED today by John Hamilton,
manager Of the Kansan's cam
paign, as the Knox-Borah forces
continued to Snipes at the caIldi-
date out in front.
White in Key Post
The reports of the activities of
the Landon managers with respect
to the platform were due to the
conversat ons William Allen
White, Emporia publisher, and
ex-Gov. Henry j. Allen, also a
Kansas publisher, have been hav-
ing with prominent party officials.
White has been selected as the
Kansas member of the resolutions
committee, and supposedly will
voice Governor Landon'S views in
the committee.
But Hamilton replied shortly to.
day to questions concerning the
platform:
"The LandOn forces are not .
attempting to write the platform
Of this convention, nor will
they"
While the managers for Col
Frank Knox and Senator William
E. Borah continued to express op-
timiSm that Governor Landon can
be stopped" next week, Hamilton
rested on his previous statement
that Governor Landon will have
in excess of 400 votes on the first
ballot, and that the nomination
lis a possibility on the first roll.
Vandenberg Watched
It was reported in Cleveland to-
day, without any confirmation,
that the name Of Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg of Michigan may
not even be presented to the con-
vention. The Landon people said
they had heard nothing of it.
They were interested, however,
in Senator Vandenberg'S an

From Spinning Plane

SYOSSET, N. Y, June GIN.
SO.-An Army pilot and his OBJ
server bailed out of their spinning
plane in parachuteS here today
and landed safely as the plane
crashed and burst into flames.
The pilot, Lieut.. Delaine Bailey,
found the plane out of control
when it went into a flat spin at
5000 feet. At 1000 feet he ordered
his observer, Sergt. P. G.. Smith,
to jump, but remained at the con-
trolls himself until the ship was
down to 1000 feet, where he
finally leaped. Both fliers were

DETROIT, June 6 G.N.SO-
Dayton Dean, my husband, told
me he had been ordered to do
something about the Rev. Father
Charles E. Coughlin, the radio
priest. ,....
This was early in 1884 when
Father Coughlin was speaking on
social justice and making trips to
Washington and New York.
Dayton was head Of the death
squad of the Black Legion.
He told me the Black Legion
had been considering the case Of
Father Coughlin for long time
and had made some attempts to
"straighten him out"
Asked About Bombing
I asked Dayton at that time If
the Black gionn aires had
bombed Father Coughlin's home
in the spring of 1888. He just
laughed and said:
''What do you think?"
But the bombing was before
Dayton joined the Legion.
We had moved to 767 Fernhiu
Avenue by this time. One night a
Mr.. Rogers and a Mr.. Williams
came to our house. They had
agreed to go with Dayton to see
Just what Father Coughlin was
talking about at his church.
Dayton asked me to go along
with them, but I begged off. I
said I didn't feel well.
They were sitting about the liV-
ing room waiting until it was time
to start and Dayton said:
"We'd like to knock him off,
but nobody could get out Of
that church after they had
done the job"
Then the three of them started

Revised Supreme Law Will Give Equal Vote to All
 Soviet Citizens
(Bv The Assoclated PressD

(By The Associated Press,
 Moscow, April 30,-That the Soviet state must, for the time being, carry on with certain traditions in- herited from the burgoisie was among the important announcements contained in a statement on govern mental and social develop ment of Soviet Russia, pub- lished Sunday.
 The statement made plain among other things, that the time has not yet arriv- ed to abandon the principle practice and compulsion of equality of income and that therefore the distribution of material comforts of life must continue in the trans itory period under the pro tective guidance of the state.
 The statement said fur ther that the democratiza tion of the Soviet system under the new constitution now being formed will not lead to the creation of poli- tical parties or any organ ization opposed to the com munistic party.
 These explanations were printed in a magazine which is considered the of- ficial organ of the govern ment.
 The central committees new constitution under study will grant the right of equal vote of all Soviet cit izens except those disen franchised by the courts. The class and origin of the citizen is not to be consider ed.
 Voting will be secret and direct, and, according to

the major parties will say directly in its platform that 1t faVors an immediate bal ancing of the budget by in creasing taxation.
 If the precedents of for mer years are followed, the voter who wants a balance struck at once will have no chance to vote his convic- tions. He will have to choose instead between 2 party blanks of beautifully indefinite language, mean ing one thing to one person and another thing to anoth- CT.
 As to the methods to be pursued in any tax increase the likelihood of vague par ty declarations is even greater. The membership of both parties is split widely. Whatever bill is enacted will be, inevitably, a patch work of compromises; and it will be the job of the re- spective platform commit tees at the conventions to please as many different schools of thought as poss- ible.
 The usual result of that process is to leave the sub- ject in a complete fog, from which it can be rescued on- ly if one or the other of the principal candidates for president brings forward a clearly-defined program of his own.
 But even about this, there are many complications. Roosevelt Theory Attacked

 The current tax discus sion in congress demonstrat es pointedly how major pol itical issues often become hopelessly confused and be- clouded.
 It is agreed universally that the government is fac ing a time of critical deci- sion with respect to fnanc es. The budget has been out of balance for five years, and there is widespread questioning about the en- tire problem of national ifs cal policy.
 As a matter of common sense, it would seem that in such times the voters should be given an oppor- tunity, under a democratic form of government, to ex press themselves clearly & directly,
 Theoretically, it would appear a simple matter to put into the coming cam- paign an issue stated thus: should taxes now be in- creased to equal expendi lures, and if so who should bear the burden?
 Actually, national deci- sions seldom work out that way. Not only will any ex pression on this subject be complicated by a tangle with other issues, but the tax issues itself has become so complicated that it is hard for anyone to under stand it without the aid of a textbook on public fnan ce and a table of logarithms.
 An Evasive Topic
 In the first place, there is no prospect that either of

hand as a plan to soak the rich', and on the other as a disguised thrust at "the little fellow" who, it is arg ued by some of MT. Roose Velt's opposition, would have to foot the bill event ually.
 On top of this, congress has rewritten the Roose welt program, bringing in to play a sliding scale of corporation rates so intri- cate that 1t is almost impos sible to explain in language understandable by the lay man. To some of this admin iStration officials object. thus inferentially Washine their hands of the political consequences. The result will probably be more re- writing.
 In the end, whose bill will it be? Who can be held accountable for it at the polls, when apparently eV- eryone finds 1t unsatisfact ory. Beset by technical con troversy, and even contra dictory statements of fact,

IS URGED
ON REALTY
FRAUDS

weeping condemnation OF
financial racketeering which has
victimized real estate bondholders
and recommendations for uni
form protective legislation were
presented to Congress yesterday
in a report by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Among the charges made in
the report, dealing with trustees
under indentures, were:
/. The trustee is merely a
mechanical agency, a book
keeping agency" affording lit
tie real protection to bond
holders.
Assets Whisked Away
2. Shrewdly worded mega
tive pledge clauses" in trust in
dentures have permitted the
pledged assets to be "WhiSked
away from the investors while
the trustees have stood by idly.
3. Comp1acent and in r t
trustees have permitted release
and substitution of collateral
resulting in dilution of the as
sets behind the bonds
4. Trustees have even failed
to ascertain that the title to
property behind the bonds is
properly recorded and the Sc
curities properly certified.
S. The present system OF cor
porate trusteeships is honey
combed with conflicting affilia-
tions and interlocking relation
ships which cannot but emaScu-
late the trusteeShip.
Reforms Urged
The commission urged Congress
to enact three major reforms. 1t
said:
IF the prestige and good
repute of our commercial banks
are to be maintained either cor
porate trusteeShipS must be
divorced from com m er ci a |
banks and made the exclusive
function of trust institutions,
or a commercial bank acting
as trustee for securities of a
corporation should not be per-
mitted to hold management,
ownership or creditor position
in that company, or have any
other interest inconsistent with
its fiduciary responsibilities.
"In the second place, COM
plete divorce of underwater and
trustee is essential for the pro-
lection of the security holders.
CONTROL LACKING
"In the third place, the truS-
tee must not own or represent
securities or interests of char
acter which conflicts in any
material respect with those for
which he acts as trustee; nor
should the issuer be represented
in the management of the trus-
tee. Such conflicts as we have
described have been subject to
practically no control"
The commission bulwarked its
charges and recommendations
with almost 800 pages of testi-
mony and comment revealing
widespread practices which have
resulted in exploitation of in
veStorS.
