France Will Force
Reconstruction, as
Issue, On League
More Powerful and Mod
ernized Organization
Is Paris Goal

PARIS, May 25. (UP).-The
new Popular Front government of
France, which will take office on
June 2, will force the issue of re-
construction of the League Of Ma
tons at the mid-June meeting OF
the council at Geneva, it was re-
ported today.
This decision repeatedly was
reached during conversations be-
tween Leon Blum, Popular Front
dictator and premier-deslgnate,
and Rumanian foreign minister
Nicholas Titulescu, speaking on
behalf of the Little Entente.
Blum and Titulescu also agreed
that France and the Little En-
tente will continue to support a
common policy on major problems
and that France will do its utmost
to bring about full discussion oil
both the Italo-E ethiopian and the
Rhineland problems at the next
council session.
France will resume hte role OF
principal protagonist Of a strong
ieraue and an unbroken front
against aggression under the twin
theories of indivisible peace and
collective security, but she recog-
nizes that the league as it now
stands is unable to meet modern
requirements.

New Mississippi river bridge "be-

currents.
Police dragged him from the
waters edge and took him to a
hospital, where he was found to
be suffering only slightly from
shock.
Two companions, Emile Barnes
and Louis Gilkers, to whom he had
been Boosting for two weeks that
he could make the Jump, failed to

ROOSEVELT TO
RETURN HOME
This EVENING
viii Allow New York Pc.
liticaI Situation Ito Sim
mer for Present
he AND GOV. LEHMAN
FAIL TO CONFER

HYDE PARK, N. Y, May 25.
(UP).-President Roosevelt APP
parently is going to let the New
York state political situation sim
mer for a while before trying to
persuade Gov. Herbert l.. Lehman
to run for reelection.
Such was the opinion last night
after it was reiterated at the
summer white house that the
president had not invited Lehman
to Hyde Park nor had the latter
indicated wish to confer.
There were reports that both
Lehman and Postmaster General
James A. Farley would be visitors
over the weekend but these were
discounted by Secretary Marvin
II. Mcintyre who said the presi-
dent had no names on the engage
ment list.
Observers, nevertheless, felS
that Mr.. Roosevelt would act be
fore the September Democratic
convention in an effort to put
Lehman, to whom he has referred
as "my good right arm" on the
record in the affirmative so far as
participation in the next campaign
| is concerned.
Lehman's presence in the forth
coming race would go a long way
toward cinching the states At
electoral votes for the president,
it was argued, as there has been
no one, at least in recent years,
who measures up to his ability as
a vote getter.
Then too, the nomination of a
comparatively unknown candidate,
such as Robert H. Jackson, of
jamestown. would require a
"build-up" in Greater New York
and perhaps throw tremendous
vote to tried Republican war
horses whose names are by-words,
particularly in the upstate area.
Party leaders are DESTROYS OF
preserving the upstate gains and
feel that they will be needed when
noses are counted even in the
event Lehman changes his mind
and consents to run.
Back of the whole situation,
however. remains the threat OF
the loss of the state to the Re
publicans unless a powerful and
popular figure is on the ticket.
The psychological effect OF
waiting until September in a plv-
otal state like New York, it was
asserted, might be bad from the
political point of view in other
sections and at the same time lead
to dissension in ranks that must
be solicited for the big push.
The president, meanwhile, spent
a quiet Sunday at Hyde Park, on
the surface undisturbed by the
| crisis in his home state. -,
In the morning he attended
services at st. James. Episcopal
church at Hyde Park. On arrival
he found IT'S war veterans par
ticipating in a memorial service

only ones who will be allowed to

Socialists Split Over Policy On War;
Thomas Again coming AS Nominee
New York Boilers to Form
New Party at Cleve-
land Meeting

PUBLIC HALL, CLEVELAND,
May 25 (UP).-The militant con-
trolled socialist convention pre-
pared today to nominate Norman
Nation Thomas for president, de-
mand wider control for congress
over industry and agriculture and
then end its three-day session.
Three blocks away, a boiling
New York delegation of the "old
guard" stamp, unseated by the
militants, formulated plans for a
new party along social-Democratlc
lines.
Right wing members from other
states promptly took up the cry at
a meeting of the interstate con-
ference, cold guard" organization
opposed to the dominant left
wing over the declaration of prin-
ciples made at Detroit in 1882.
They dissolved the conference IN
favor of the proposed new party
organization.
The New York boilers planned
a state convention next month.
Individual members from other
states prepared to promote the
party as soon as they return
home. An organizing committee,
headed by Louis WaIdman, OF
New York, was appointed.
cold guard" socialists from New
York bolted the party's biennial
convention last night and ant
nounced they will form a new
political party.
The split occurred after mill
tants seized control Of the cOnven-
ton and placed their own mem
bcrs in IS seats representing New
York, New Jersey, Texas and Con-
necticut.
"Old guarders" differ from left
wing militants chiefly because
approval of massed resistance
against war was written into the
Detroit declaration of principles
in 1882.

MAN
IS HEARD here
Bruce Fisher Calls for
Square Deal After ODD
and "New" Deals

w. Bruce Fisher, of Andrews,
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the United States
congress in the 18th district on
the Townsend Plan, spoke at the
Henderson county court house on
Saturday afternoon.
We had a few years of the Old
Deal under Hoover, we have had a
few years of the New Deal under
Roosevelt, and now we want a
Square Deal, Mr.. Fisher said. The
Townsend plan now has the sup
port of about Sc or 70 congress
men and the plan will be put into
effect as soon as sufficient con-
gressmer are elected favorable to
it. 1t is in the hands Of the people
to say whether they want the plan
or not.
Opponents of the Townsend
plan. he said, have misquoted it
on the amount of money to be
paid to old people each month.
The. plan, he said, does not call
for the payment of 5000 per
month to all people over 60 years
of age. It provides rather for a
two per cent tax on all business
transactions and the sum raised
in this manner will be divided
equally among all the old people
registered for the pension. 1t may
be that there will be only $50 or
$75 per month to be distributed
at first.
