who will preside over the con-
ference sessions at Tallahassee.
The selection of the nominee will

jects of Rotary.
A number OF entertainment
features are being planned by the
Tallahassee Rotarians with the as

tary j. Edwin White of Tallahas-
see, Rotary the world over is
making great progress in growth
! having now the largest number of

tiOnal to emphasize this year the
responsibility of the individual

facts, so that we may be better
citizens of the community, more
useful in our daily vocations and
contribute to the advancement of
a better world understanding.
Toward that end we hope to pro-
vide a most successful Rotary
Conference at Tallahassee.

Political Field Marsbals'
Troubles Grow In Seeking
1886 Convention Harmony
Fletcher And Farley Are
Getting Forces Together
Preparatory To Activi-
ties
Bv ALEXANDER r. GEORGE

Thy Associated PressD
WASHINGTON, April "a
Field Marshals Henry P. Fletcher
and James A. Farley are rallying
their forces in an effort to achieve
rousing party solidarity during the
Republican and Democratic ma
tioral conventions in June and
the campaign to follow.
Farley, the Democratic national
chairman, credited with know.
ledge of the political situation in
every county in the nation, is
working to line up overwhelming
delegate support for President
RooseveIt's denomination at the
Philadelphia convention. He
knows thousands of party work.
ers by their first names.
Republican Chairman Fletcher,
who took over the shattered Re-
publican forces two years ago and
now Ioasts formidable C. @. P,
rhalanx, is working strenuously to
weld all elements Of the party in
to a harmonious unit.
One of Mr.. Fletcher's big wOr-
ries concerns a possible f.ght in
the Cleveland convention. This
might lead to a serious split in Re-
publican ranks. The insistence of
Senator Borah and some of his
lieutenants that the old leader
ship be turned out and "more
liberal leaders" be installed pre-
sents a definite challenge to the
chairman's diplomatic skill.
Has Troubles Too
Smiling JIM" always avowedly
optimistic, has his troubles. too.
Besides the threat o. Alfred +.
Smith to "take a walk" and the
detection of John W. Davis, Balm,
bridge Colby, Governor Talmadge
of Georgia and other prominent
Democrats, serious fractional fights
loom in at least four states.
A major worry IS the bitter bat
tie between Governor Homer and
Mayor Edward Kelly OF Chicago,
which threatens To cleave the Hi
nois Democracy. Others are the
WPA squabble between the youth
full Senator Rush Holt of West
Virginia and Harry Hopkins
EPIC Democrats versus the Nc
Adoo forces in California and a
Minnesota intra-party fight where
two Democratic factions are hold
ing separate state conventions.
In addition to a national poll
teal organization rated by some
old-time observers as the most
powerful in the nations history.
Farley has the advantage Of De-
mocratic ascendancy in vast
majority Of the states. All but IL
governors are Democrats.
Easier For Farley
Chairman Farley and the Demo
cratic national committee car
concentrate their attention on the
single job of keeping Mr.. Roose,
Welt in the White House. Chair
man Fletcher and his committee
colleagues, however, must build
up a strong party organization
for future support of a standard
bearer whose identity is now un-

Hammer Murder
Case Tightening

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April
Is. (UP) Marcus c. Powell, ac-
cused hammer-murderer, writhed
in his chair before a packed court
room yesterday as the state tight
ened the net of circumstantial
evidence on which it bases its hope
of convicting him of Staying his
wife and mother-in-law.
Powell, twice pardoned from
prison sentences imposed for kill
ings, visibly was nervous as the
state developed strongest points
of its case.
Testimony was directed chiefly
toward demolishing the former
convict's story of his actions on
the afternoon Mrs. Katie Powell
and her mother, Mrs. Lou Speer,
were murdered brutally, and their
mutilated bodies dumped into Lot-
tin creek.

NO OPPOSITION TO TURKISH
DARDANELLES REOCCUPATION
EXPECTED FROM BIG POWERS
Observers Predict Bulgaria
to Be Next to Scrap
War Treaties

ANGORA, Turkey, April IS
(UP). - Turkish soldiers stood
watch along the Dardanelles to-
day. In token that another World
war treaty was dead, President
Mustapha Renal Ataturk decided
upon occupation of the zone, it
was learned, because of the dam
gerous international situation. Oc-
cupation is in violation of the
Lausanne treaty. However, no
real opposition is expected from
the SignatorieS.
Without warning, the Turkish
forces tramped into the Dardan-
Giles zones yesterday while Euro
pean governments were studying
the Ankara governments recent
note asking consideration of its
desire to regain full military SOW
ereignty over all Turkish terri
tory.
Great Britain had expressed her
willingness to discuss the Turkish
note without delay.
Paris dispatches reported the
French were ready to reply IA
yorably to the Turkish request.
Turkish identification of the
Dardanelles and other waterways
territory was restricted by the
Treaty of Lausanne. Ten nations,
as treaty signatories, are interest
ed in the remilitarization of Turk
ish straits.
Decision to reoccupy the OAR
danelles zones was reached at a
cabinet meeting Thursday night
when President Ataturk presided.
The decision was taken in the
presence of Marshal Fevzi, chief
of staff of the Turkish army.
Turkeys bold move further
complicated the delicate Euro
pean crisis, and observers predict
ed that Bulgaria would be next
70 flout the World war treaties.
Remilitarization of the forbid
den areas on either side of the
tortuous Dardanelles straits, in
effect, closes the Black sea to all
navies except Russia's.

inc off the shackles of the Lau-
same treaty was that the secur-

Mrs. Titterton
Florist Shop Yields Latest
Clue in Murder Of
Story Writer

NEW YORK, April 10. (UP)-
Out of a florists shop yesterday
came the newest clue in the muir
der of Mrs. Evans Titterton, 81
year-old short story writer.
Mrs. Katherine Velice, proprie-
tor of the shop, told detectives that
in the last three or four months q
man has been buying flowers and
having them sent to the Titterton
apartment. She described him as
clean-saven. Lewis Titterton, Ma
tional Broadcasting company ex-
ecutive and husband of the slain
women, has a mustache.
Police believe the man may
have been the one who assaulted
and strangled Mrs. Titterton a
week ago Friday.
DR.. Alexander O. Gettler, city
toxicologist, asked police to give
him paint scrapings from the fire
escape outside the Titterton apart
ment. Painters had been working
on the building just before Mrs.
Titterton's murder and it was be-
lieved Gettler was trying to con-
meet the paint scrapings with
stains found on the bedspread.

TAX EXPERTS
0FHOlSEEND
WORK ON BILL
They Admit Bill May Not
Raise Fund to Balance
Ordinary Budget
ROOSEVELT'S MAIN
SUGGESTIONS USED.

WASHINGTON, April Is. -
lUP)-House tax experts last
night virtually completed consid-
Grafton Of a tentative new tax
bill which they admitted might
fail to meet President Roose-
velt's request for sufficient new
revenue to balance the ordinary
budget.
Requested to submit to treas
ury experts questions as to how
much the new bill would yield,
Chairman Robert L. Doughton
3D., MO- of the house ways and
means committee turned over to
newspapermen series of an
swers which indicated clearly that
the measure might not yield the
estimated $799,000,000 first year
revenue.
At the same time, tax subcom-
mittee Chairman Samuel B. Hill
3D., Wash.) said, owe are not
working to the definite end of
balancing the budget but we are
hopeful that the new revenues
will approximately meet the pres
ident's request"
The tax subcommittee conclud-
ed it's study of the bill Yesterday
and under present plans it will be
formally APPROVED by the full
committee Monday and brought
up for house consideration next
Wednesday.
The measure, as drawn and
with its yield in doubt, includes
the presidents main suggestions
for a tax on undistributed cor
porate profits and a "windfalP
tax to recoup unsolicited or i'm
pounded processing levies, but
does not carry the new farm ex-
else levies suggested by the pres
ident in his tax message.
In view of the doubt as to yield,
house tax experts admitted that
the revenue might fall more than
$345, 100000 short of the presi-
dents suggested three-year pro-
gram for balancing the ordinary
budget, based on a $517, 100000
farm program deficit and annual
costs above the original budget
of $12O,0O0,O00 for payment of
the soldiers bonus and 100000
900 for the permanent farm pro-
gram.
