BrowneII Gets Free Hand
to Steer COP Affairs

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. % -
Up Herbert Browneil, Jr., had
free hand today to run the Re-
publican party for the next cou-
pie of years just about any way
he chooses.
The COP. National chair
man, who laid his chips on the
line at a one-day mid-winter
session of the party's National
Committee here yesterday,
emerged with almost unlimited
authority over personnel, pro-
gram and policy.
He had behind him a vote of
confidence taken boldly only a
little more than two months aft
er the party's unsuccessful foray
at the polls in November.
Despite a considerable amount
of individual grumbling in the
Republican ranks about Brown
ellis close association with the
defeated presidential candidate,
Governor Thomas E. Dewey Of
New York, only minor opposi-
ton voices were raised at this
Midland meeting to his reten-
ton of the craftsmanship.
Most members, reviewing the
closed sessions in which Nation
al Committeeman voiced their
sentiments freely, said a new
sort of harmony appeared TO
have grown up within the party.
Obviously, some of them did not
like TO see Dewey keep even a
secondhand grasp on the party
reins. But they had no single
standard bearer around whom
they could rally.
AS a result, Brownell came
out of the conference with unan-
imoUs approval of his plan to
establish year-around organi-
cation which will take a leaf
from the CLIO Political Action
Committee book and will work
continuously, instead of only
about four months, in advance
of the election hereafter.
The committee departed from
its usual procedure to name
Mrs. Dudley G. Hay of Michigan
as secretary, succeeding the late
Harold w. Mason of Vermont.
BroWnell obtained blanket
authorization to expand the
committees paid personnel to a
limit of $4,000 already in the
Treasury and the additional
amounts that may be raised by

Winter Orchard Check Up
Makes Pest Control Possible

orchard 10 determine the pests
present will make it possible to
plan worthwhile spring control
measures, says County Agrieul-
tural Agent William Murphy.
Look for the tiny eggs Of
varied colors tucked away in
crevices in the trees, is his
recommendation. Then submit
samples of those eggs to the
county agent for analysis by the
department of entomology at
Michigan State College.
The varieties of insects rep
resented can readily be identi-
fled. They may include red mite,
tent caterpillar, fall canker-
worm, and the aphid. These are
just few of the many that may
be waiting to hatch and plague
the orchard when farm weather
comes.
BY learning what pests must
be combatted, the proper spray
materials can be secured and
plans made for getting a head
start on the insects. 1t is often
too late to do much effective
work after the insects have
Matched and are feeding on the
trees, says Ray Hutson, head of
the department on entomology
at the college.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 23-(P)-
Lucky newspaper people, always
meeting the most interesting
people. Today it was famous
actor who weighs, so help me,
900 pounds, and is ham If
there ever was one-and there
was.
l had gone out TO goth Cen
tury-Fox studio hoping to trap a
nice looking little number
named Jeanne Grain, bat they
wouldn't let me see her-simply
because she was taking a show
err, of all things-so | had to
take the next best thing. In
these days one can't be too
choosey; if one can't have lamb,
take ham.
That's how l came to meet the
famous actor, r. Pattern. Never
heard Of him? Maybe you know
him by his movie name, Blue
Boy. He's the hog star of Holly
wood.
r. Pattern, or Blue Boy, was
thrilled practically speeches. to
see me. He proved it by rolling
over and squealing "oink-oink. !"
He was very excited. Then
Charlie Winninger stopped prod
ding him with sharp stick and
he went back to sleep.
Movie fans will remember a
Blue Boy from the State Fair"
picture Will Rogers and Janet
Gaynor made "a decade or SO
ago. Well, r. Pattern isn't exact
ly the same Blue Boy. The origi-
nal left Hollywood, probably
fed up with the place, and went
upstate to live and raise a fam
lily. Eventually he died a natural
death, as all Blue Boys do.

Beyond that, he was told by
the committee he could imple-
ment in any way he chooses the
militant opposition" program
he laid down.
Defeat of a move by Clarence
B. Kelland, Arizona member, to
call the group into session next
May to draft a Republican char
ter for the 1916 Congressional
campaigns left Brownell free to
consult with Republican Con-
gressional leaders on the legis-
lative program which will fur
nish the party's major record for
that contest.
Despite this obvious heavy
delegation of power TO the 40
year-old New Yorker who first
sank his teeth into national poll
tics with HIS election as chair
man last summer at Dewey's
suggestion, most committee
members appeared satisfied
with the results of the meeting.
