Washington, June 10.—(AP)—Con troversial points in the tax bill were pa sed over today at the first meet ing of the House and Senate confer ence committees seeking to work out a compromise on the legislation. Chairman Dough ton, Democrat, North Carolina, of the House Wayg and Means Committee, told reporters the conferees agreed to give out no information on their proceedings and that there would be a second confer ence tomorrow. “We passed over all controversial questions today, including the tax on undistributed corporate surpluses,’’ Doughton said. “We agreed on a few minor points, such as clarifying amendments, and discussed the bill generally.” He indicated the conferees probably would not consider the major differ ences between the House and Senate provisions until late in the week.

In The Sir Walter Hotel, nr J. C. nASKER Vll.l. Raleigh, June 10.—The 1937 State Senate will be overwhelmingly “re gular,” so that even if Dr. Ralph W.

For while it is now generally admitted that there was a definite hook-up between the McDon ald forces in almost every county to go “down the line” for the McDon ald, or anti-sales tax, candidates for the legislature, this effort seems to have failed completely with the re sult that the 1937 Senate is regarded, as being decidedly anti-McDonald.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Cleveland, June 10.—Of course, no loyal Republican would admit it, even under torture, but the truth is that there has been a defeatist atmosphere about this year’s G. O. P. convention here. There has been plenty of shouting •and the Landon boosters have put on a really fine line of Iballyhoo but the other aspirants for the presidential nomination, though they have grow led considerably, have not been very noisy.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Cleveland, June 10. —Cleveland en joys the distinction of being the first city to entertain a post-war conven tion with legal drinks. Not that the earlier ones really were dry, (but they were supposed to be. The Republican convention of 1924, when Calvin Coolidge was named for the presidency, also was a Cleveland affair, and in the same auditorium as this year’s. The nomination was made in a ringing prohibition address in the course of which the expression, “The law reigns,” was used again and again. Now, about half a city block from that convention hall was a neat little speakeasy, where customers could and did sit, sipping their hooch and listening to the nominating orator’s words as they were broadcast by radio. DRY?—HA! Prohibition officialdom swore, in, advance of the 1928 conventions, that they actually would dry Kansas City and Houston up, and I thought maybe they could do it by concentrating (Continued on Page Two.)

O. P. to make good or there may not be enough of it left ever to hold another convention. And there is no use trying to deny it. Republican leadership has not been a hit confident of the election of any imaginable G. O. P. candidate next November.

Meeting Cleveland, June 10. —(AP) — The Landon forces today assured Senator Borah a hearing on his platform pro posals and promised him opportunity to address the convention if they are rejected by the resolutions commit tee. While members of the resolutions sub-committee waited, William Allen White, platform spokesman, for Gov ernor Landon of Kansas, consulted Borah. After the consultation, White re ported: “If he so desires, the Landon forces will move that he be heard in the com mittee, ana if the committee rejects his proposals, we wiii move that he be permitted to place his views be fore the convention.” A few minutes later, Borah himself said: “My position is unchanged. If my proposals are rejected, I want an op portunity to defend them from the floor.” Former President Herbert Hoover, came to town today to receive rous ing cheers from hundreds of delegates to the convention.

R. Gregg Cherry, of Gaston, and Victor S. Bryant, of Durham, both al ready prominently mentioned for the speakership, were renominated. Definite data was not available on F. E.

SNELL PLEADS FDR REPUBLICAN UNITY AGAINSTNEW DEAL New York Congressman Speaks as Permanent Chairman of the Na tional Convention ATTACKS ROOSEVELT AS DANGEROUS MAN Assails His Individualism and Trend Toward Dicta torship and Appeals for Return of Government to The People; Would Pre serve Liberties Convention Hall, Cleveland, June 10. —(AP) —Taking the permanent chair manship, Representative Bertrands Snell, of New York, appealed to the Republican convention today to sink its differences and unite “to restore the government to the people.” “The party is not contending a gainst the Democratic party as such,” he told the thousands in the Cleve land auditorium, “but it offers to lead America against y.n unconstitutional dictatorship; yes, the arrogant in dividualism, of Franklin Delana Roosevelt.” Mentioning to candidate for the presidential nomination, he predicted victory in November, and said “we shall need in executive positions the services of constitutional Democrats and Republicans alike.” In a burning prelude to the address tonight by former President Herbert Hoover, the Republican leader of the House imputed the trial of platform pledges to the New Deal. He charg ed “reckless squantering, retardation of recovery and violation of constitu tional liberties under this demoraliz ing reign of incompetence.” “I hear today America’s earnest prayer of deliverance,” he said. Republicanism he praised as a “great heritage—a political force which personifies the deeply-rooted American instincts for law and order, for true social security and the ssuare deal for a practical and workable sys tem of government.” Snell pledged the party to “the maximum of social cooperation con sistent with the faithful preservation of the just liberites of all the people.” have a woman member again in 19b7, it was indicated* Mrs. E.

FIVE CENTS COPY KANSAN BIDS FOR BY PLEDGE TO DIM Republican Convention Gets Down to Business With Snell as Perman ent Chairman HOOVER TO SPEAK AT NIGHT SESSION Former President, in Vale dictory, To Deliver “De vastating Indictment” Against Roosevelt Admin istration; Landon To De lay Acceptance Speech Cleveland, June 10. (AP) Governor Alf M. Landon was assured of at least 50 of Penn sylvania’s votes for his party’s presidential nomination as the Republican National Conven tion resumed its sessions today with former President Hoover on hand —for just one purpose, to make a speech. Landon received 50 votes on the first ballot as Pennsylvania’s delega tion caucused and others indicated they would vote for him on the sec ond ballot. The convention was buzzing as it reconvened over the announcement by Landon forces that Senator Borah, if unsuccessful in forcing his mone tary monopoly and foreign relations planks into the committee platform draft, would be given an opportunity to support them from the floor. Called for the installation of Rep resentative Bertrand Snell as per manent chairman, the delegates first completed their organization by ac tion on reports of the credentials and other lesser committees. An on yesterday, the big moment was left for evening—the valedictory address as titular party leader by Hoover. Chester C. Rowell, Chairman of the California delegation, said Hoover’s speech tonight would “be no attempt for self-seeking or to stampede this convention.” But he was not expected to pull his punches against the New Deal any more than Snell or Senator Fred erick Steiwer, of Oregon, in the key note last night. Rowell promised a “devastating indictment.” Some disappointment, but no sur prise, was the reaction to Governor Landon’s assertion in Topeka that he would not come to the convention “regardless of developments.” Landon prefers for the acceptance speech to be deferred to August. New French Government Might Split Blum’s Proposal forj 40-Hour Work Week Imperilled In, Chamber’s Debate Paris, Jun 10 (AP) —A possible split in France’s new socialist government imperilled Premier Leon Blum’s pro posal for a 40-hour work week today. The Radical Socialist paper Ere Nouvelle took a strong stand against the government measure to shorten labor’s hours. The 40-hour week, Ere Neuvelle said, would put production costs so high France would lose all her foreign markets. Additional unemployment will result the organ said. The newspaper criticism was one of the first authoritative indications of a vigorous fight when the Socialist leader’s bills are called for debate in the Chamber of Deputies Thursday. The labor proposals, which Blum in troduced yesterday include an addi tion to the 40-hour week, paid annual vacations, collective bargaining con tracts and restoration of some civil service pension reductions. As the parliamentary maneuvering began, tens of thousands of striking workers straggled back to their jobs. Coal miners in northern fields, who asserted it was “better to strike and starve than work and starve” reached an agreement to pick up their tools tomorrow. Individual accords were completed in many industries, but new walkouts continued to break in industries not covered by the work ers-employer agreement which the government won Monday to break the backbone of the extended “folded arms” strike.
