O'NEAL SEES FLAWS
IN G. O. P. PLATFORM
Farm Leader Disappointed by
Failure to Pledge Crop
Control.
R1 the Assnciated Press.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Edward A.
O'Neal, president Of the American
FarM Bureau Federation, said today
that while he believed the Republican
platform adopted at Cleveland was "a
real attempt in the direction of lib
erality," he was disappointed that
some of the most important things
we wanted to see included In it were
left out"
II can find nothing in the Cleve-
land program which advocates con-
troll of production by farmers" he
said in a radio address. "On the
other hand, the Cleveland platform
attacks the A. A. A. program and its
methods, forgetting that they advo-
Gated positive production control in
their 1882 platform"
ONeal expressed dissatisfaction
with the failure to include managed
currency in its platform, but added:
"Of course, Gov. Landon may in
terpret the Republican gold standard
plank differently"
O'Neal said he could not under
stand why a plank on commodity
loans to prevent seasonal surpluseS
from depressing farm prices was not
included.

the rock-strewn bottom Of an isolated
desert lake. more than 100 feet be-
meath the waters surface, State police
said tonight they expect to find the
bodies of six persons-all victims OF
strange disappearance cases.
z. o. Lane, a professional diver,
sent by authorities acting on tips.
said the abrupt lake banks become
overhanging ledges beneath the sur
face and huge boulders litter the bot
tom. A minute search will be neces-
sary to determine the presence Of
bodies, II any, he said, although the
lake Is little broader than 1t is deep.
His first descent ended in failure.
E. ]. House, chief of the State po-
lice, announced he had been informed
the lake held the bodies Of four Illi-
nois tourists, who disappeared year
ago last May, and two victims Of
another disappearance case.
He declined to name his informant
or to hint at the identity Of the other
two persons.
A similar tip given by a man held
in State Penitentiary. sent the police
to the arid region north Of here, to
drag the lake for the bodies of Mr..
and Mrs. George Lorius and Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Heberer, Illinois tourists
who dropped from sight q year ago
last May.
II am sure that the tip We received
was a good one and believe the lake
we are examining Is the spot indi-
Gated by our informant as the place
where the bodies were hidden" Chief
House said.
The Illinois couples disappeared
near Vaughn, N. NJ, while touring

When Sam acquired the goats by
way of payment for an outstanding
debt for a job of grass-cutting they
were very thin and he spent some
time in fattening and training them.
He also had to build a cart and fash
ion harness before he could set up in
the transportation business.
Preparations completed, he picked a
site on the East-West highway just
across the road from a place where
another group of boys were selling
pony rides.
Kids always holler for ride in
my goat cart after a turn on the
ponies" Sam explained. 1T don't

Sometimes, Sam said, he picks up

LADY LOBBYISTS
WIN REPUBLICANS
Successful in Cleveland,
They Prepare to Present
Demands to Democrats.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, June 13.-Lady lob
byists, pretty triumphant about what
they got from the Republicans here,
turned their amazing energies today
toward Philadelphia and the Dem
ocrats.
For the first time, the business
woman, as such, had stuck her finger
into the political pie and pulled out
o plum.
It was the single sentence platform
plank saying: I'VE are opposed to leg
islation which discriminates against
women in Federal and State en-
ployment."
For the fifth national campaign
year, the League of Women Voters
had drummed on that. Others had
done so as far back as 1868 platform
writing. They got some encourage
ment this year from the platform
itself. more from the nominee, Gov.
Landon Of Kansas.
What Sentence Means.
Though the single sentence didn't
say so, the business women know, and
know that the candidate knows. it is
aimed straight at section 2l3 or mar
ried persons clause" of the economy
act, under which far more women
than men have been dropped from
Federal pay rolls due to having a
marital partner thereon.
Their drive was made through the
National Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Leagues. of

liams is president. Able and alert

woman, was steering. and had up-and-
coming Mildred Reeves, the late
Speaker Longworth's secretary, work.
ing on the Platform Committee.
The business women missed no bets.
In behalf Of their seemingly hopeless
plank, Mrs. Eugene Meyer, wife Of
the Washington publisher, got Gov.
Landon on the phone in Topeka, and
the tide changed overnight.
Telegram Is Hailed.
The League of Women Voters were
distinctly disappointed when the Re-
publican civil service plank didn't
specifically say something about post
masters. Their views were brought
to the attention of Gov. Landon. In
his electrifying telegram he said some
thing specifically about postmasters.
He said the merit system" should
apply to them all.
Both these groups use the technique
Of having leading Republican women
head their drive on the Republican
party; leading Democrats on the
Democrats.

will head the business and professional
women at Philadelphia; Mrs. La Rue

MAMMALIAN LINK
SOUGHT IN ALASKA
Museum Scientists Hope to
Find Evidence From Co.
100000 Years Ago.
" the Associated Press.

BY tht Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 13-An expedi-
ton of the American Museum OF
Natural History left today for Alaska,
hoping there to beat back through the
darkness of 100000 years to find
long-sought gap in the evolution OF
mammal life.
The expedition, whose immediate
destination is Vancouver, British Co
lumbia, is headed by DR.. Erich Maren
Schlaikjer, an instructor in geology
and paleontology at Brooklyn College.
His associates are Louis Irving, jr.,
of New York City; David Bradley
Cheek of Harvard Medical School and
John Wolback Of Boston.
For 200,000,000 years Alaska has
been the bridge for periodic migra-
tions of mammals between the old
and the new worlds, DR.. Schlaikjer
said before his departure, and while
archaeological research has brought
to light many fossils aiding in tracing
the ancestry of every important group
of mammals, no vertebrae of animals
of the cretaceous- -prepaleocene group
have been found.
This leaves untitled what is per-
haps the most important single gap
in our knowledge of mammalian evo-
luton" the scientist added, "for it
was at the close of the cretaceous age
t6o,OoO,000 years ago. that mammals
began their great development into
many new lines, which foreshadowed
an even greater diversification Of the
mammalia throughout the age Of
mammals"
Expeditions into Mongolia, he said,
had resulted in failure and, thus,
Alaska remains the last region at once
promising and accessible.
The Alaskan trip will end, under
present plans, about the last Of Au-
gust.
