q am right under the constitli- tfon and laws of Rhode Island, un- dor the Constitution and laws of the United states and under the writ- ten and unwritten moral code of cod. God has given me the colr- age to carry on-and so I will cor- tinue to do."
 O'Hara retorted to Quirn's charge that he was trying to seize control of the state with:
 Running the state of Rhode 1s- land is the farthest thought from my mind. I am not trying to corrupt government as the governor charged, but the governo' has been trying 70 shake me down. was shaken down until could stand no more.
 Perverted Power of Office
 '.The issue, no matter who am, IS that the governor in an attempt to strike me down, has perverted the great powers of his office ]. :.
 OT1ara already has been held Tor the grand jury on two criminal hneI charges resulting from statements in his Providence newspaper, the Stare Tribune, concerning the goV- ernor and William E. Beehan, New York advertising man. A $10O,0OO civil libel suit brought against him by Beehan is pending in federaI court.
 O'Hara was released in $75OO ball sa few hours after his arrest in e6OO.OOO civil libel suit brought by Governor Robert E. Quinn. Bail was set at that figure when O'Hara appeared before Superior Judge c. Frederick Frost at East Greenwich. The bond was posted by Miss Olive Dakin of Providence, q friend of the O'IIara family.
 Besides Miss Dakin, the racing impresario was accompanied to court by his wife, Mayor Thomas P. Mccoy of Pawtucket, and former Sheriff Philip E. Quinn, OHara's bodyguard.
 when the case was called, Mi- 9cEael De Giants, representing the governor, asked that "very substan- tial" bail be fixed.
 In his radio speech last night, De Ciantis said, O'FIara made serious and libelous statements against the governor" and for a long time OHara has been bringing the of- flee of the governor into ridicule and public contempt.
 "The time has come" De Giants said, ito bridle him (O'Hara). He should be made to realize that there are constitutional authorities in this state. For the public good I ask that substantial-and very substan- tial-bail be fixed"
 : He also told the court that it should take into consideration two criminal libel cases pending against Oyzara.
 Arguing for nominal bail, Ray- n1nnd J. McMahon, O'EIaras coun- ssl. said that courts in America do not recognize a governor over any other man. The governor is no batter or worse than other men and

in our courts all men stand equally when a man comes in here and is treated differently from anybody else, then is the day when the gov- ernment has changed. There is no necessity for anything but a nomin- al bail"
 He added that the only purpose of the court session was to fix bail to insure O'Haras presence when the case was heard.
 Judge Frost said the plaintiff was entitled to substantial bail and that substantial bail was $7500. He said he could not consider the other cases, involving alleged criminal libel, as bearing in any way on the case in point.
 "The court should not enter the controversy by doing something 1t ordinarily would not do, and 1t can- not do anything that would be con- sidered in the line of persecution. |"
 Two deputy sheriffs had remained at O'T1ara's side in his Providence hotel suite between the time of his arrest and his departure for court at East Greenwich.

the Republican national committee conferred with Landon c few hours before MT. Hoover spoke. Landon and Hamilton, the Kansas pair who rose to national political prominence last year, are pulling apart. Lane don has withheld approval of MT. HooVer's convention plan so long now that any statement in It's be- half would be interpreted as an ac. acknowledgement that the Californian had obtained committee votes to put 1t through.
 The Landon- Hamilton conference dealt with the tnid-tern convention plan. Hamilton was cool toward 1t at first, but subsequently, recalled that several months previously he had made . similar although less publiciSed suggestion. The chair man has been able to reconcile him. self more easily to tho Hoover cone vention on the basis of his own prior claim to the idea.
 The best information here is that MT. Hoover is almost In control of the national committee today with prospects good for putting through his mid-term convention program.
 Similarly, 1t now seems to be established that relations between Landon and MT. Hoover are not friendly, despite the latter's brief ap- preciative remark last night that the former governor had made "a nos table contribution" to current polit- ical discussion in his radio address of one week ago.
 Landon avoided ell refernce in that address to Mr. Hoover or to the mid-term convention plan. Some observers concluded that the Kan. san had rather suddenly scheduled his october 10 address to reach the public before MT. Hoover spoke last faiahk.

 2. Murray said the Federation proposal Suggests abject surrender" and would force o. I. O. unions to relinquish their membership in any kind of labor union.
 3. Murray termed the Federation plan merely reaffirmation of It's former policy and "as we under stand 1t, Q rejection of the principle of industrial organization iil mass production and other basic indus tries."
