STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, July 26. —Editor Wil liam Allen White, in his Emporia (Kan.) Gazette, recently nominated Mayor Fiorella H. La Guardia of New York for the leadership of a resuscitat ed Republican party. This is another suggestion that just isn’t logical. Mayor La Guardia has plenty of ex cellent qualities. He is one of the brainiest public men in the country. He is a human dynamo. He is a radi cal of an exceedingly rational type. His record in congress was a brilliant one and it generally is agreed that he has given New York City a first rate administration. He consists of the stuff that lead ers are made of. But he could not possibly be the kind of leader that the G. O. P. needs at this juncture. He’s Pro-New Deal. The G. O. P. has got to be an anti- New Deal party. If it is a pro-New Deal it simply is not a separate align ment. Not being a separate alignment, it could have no place, at its head, for a separate leader. Now, La Guardia is, in effect, a (Continued on Page Eight.)

The Negro youths, freed at De catur, Ala., Saturday, in one of 11 trials which resulted in five of their companions receiving sentences rang ing from 20 years to the death penalty for an alleged mass attack on two white girls on a freight train in 1931, were goggled eyed at the welcome. Spies L at trial Tells of Debt She Owed One of Defendants Be fore Here Husband Was Slain # Burgaw, July 26 (AP)—Mrs. Anna Krocrmalny testified today she had been in debt to Pete Krochmalny, one of the three men charged with killing her husband, Paul, but had borrowed money and paid off the indebtedness since Paul disappeared last year. Pete, his son, Paul and his son-in law, Erwin Williams, alleged by the State to have slain the elder Paul, the brother of Pete and designated through the trial as Old Paul. Mrs. Krochmalny said she had owed her brother S7OO and as security he held mortgages on two ten acre farms in the St. Helena community. In corroboration of her testimony with borrowed money, the State intro duced records from the office of the clerk of court.
