Best guesses were today that I the convention resolutions committee would make an issue of the present "port of entry” liquor system, advocating home rule.

The entire day was expected to be spent in open houses by the candidates in their hotel headquarters. Actual convention activity will not start until tonight, when the delegates conduct district caucuses to select members of the resolutions committee to draw the platform, the rules and credentials committees. These caucuses also are expected to develop how each county will throw its vote on the first convention senatorial ballot. Tomorrow morning the delegates go into session at the state fairgrounds coliseum to lock horns on the party nominees. State Chairman Archie Bobbitt will call the convention to order and turn the gavel over to Congressman Charles Halleck as temporary chairman. He will introduce the keynote speaker, Bruce Barton, New York City congressional nominee and famed advertising executive, and then will hand the convention to the permanent chairman, William L. Hutcheson, national president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. Handing such a distinction to Hutcheson constitutes tile Hoosier Republicans' bid for labor support in the fall campaign. Nomination of candidates will follow adoption of the party's platform. Q STATE AWARDED DISEASE FUND Fed ral Fund Is Allocated To Indiana In Venereal Disease Fight Indianapolis. June 28 -(U.R) -Ln allocation of $59,380 for fighting veueral disease in Indiana has been made by the U. S. public health service. Dr. Verne K. Harney, state health director, announced today. The funds will be used for supplementing work now being done on a limited scale, Dr. Harvey said. Included in the program are: 1. Epidemological follow up of active cases of syphilis to prevent spread of the disease. 2. An extension of laboratory facilities to rural areas. 3. Development of an education campaign I Organization of a consultation service where physicians may be advised of new methods of diagnosis and treatment. “Since 1933, the state health board has been carrying forward its . anti-syphilis campaign. Funds for this purpose have been very inadequate up to now," Dr. Harvey said. “The allocation from the federal government is approximately what h„ figured we would receive for our program.

BODY OF YOUTH STILL MISSING Efforts To Find Body Os Mcdill McCormick Are Continued Albuquerque, N. M., June 28 — ' (U.R) — Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCorm-[ , iek Simins will decide today whether to permit men to 'be lowered a-; ; long the face of the Sandia moun- . tain on steel cables in an effort to i find the body of her son, Mcdill Me- ; Cormick. 21, believed to have been killed Wednesday during a inoun- ] ■ tain scaling expedition. Expert mountain climbers, Indian ■ trackers, lion dogs, airplane pilots 1 ■ and scores of other searchers al- ' j ready have 'been used hi the futile : ' hunt. McCormick and Richard Wliit- ' mer, 20, started the climb together. I Whitmer’s body was found Friday. ! Rumors that McCormick, heir to 'I the publishing house millions of his I I father, the late Senator Mcdill Mc*i Cormick, might have 'been kidnapI ed, were called “preposterous” by i ’[m. J. Woods, Jr., assistant forester] 1 1 of the Cibola National Forest. I Refusal of officials in charge of I ] the search to permit newspaper -'photographers and reporters free | run of the area was said to be for | their own good. The mountain coun-. ■ try is so rough and hazardous, it I l was said, that inexperienced per- ' sons might become lost or might i j fall over sheer cliffs. II Tile suggestion that men be low-| | ered on cables was made by Patrick Stone and four other calble workers of Albuquerque. The five, experien.lced in riding cables on bridges, dam and building construction, said win- [ clies could 'be placed at the top of Sandia peak from which the cables could be paid out and the men low--1 ered in comparative safety along ’ the 3,09" foot, face of rock.

FAVORCHANGE IN LIQUOR LAW State G. O. P. To Adopt Platform Plank Advocating Changes Indianapolis 'lnd., June 28 —(U.PJI -The Republican stalo convention: will adopt a plank In its platform! advocating alteration of the Indiana < liquor control act to eliminate the controversial post-ot-entry system, ! it was indicated today. Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt, chair- 1 man of the state committee, appointed a sub-committee to make a preliminary draft of the platform and present it to the convention resolutions committee to be named at tonight's caucuses. The sub-com-mittee already is working on the platform. The G. O. P.’s liquor plank would call for a "home rule" system In Issuing dealer's licenses, as coni trusted to the present method of having them issued by the alcoholic beverage commission after being approved by the county board. Under the proposed plan, tha county boards would have so;e authority to Issue licenses and collect the various fees on beer, wine and liquor and would transfer these fees to the state. The resolution is expected to assail “politics in the administration of the liquor act under the Democratic regime.” The port-of entry system will ibe attacked vlgo-ously. The sub-committee also was working on a plank calling for Hie nonpartisan election of state and local judges. The candidates’ names would be placed on separate ballots j in the general election. A strong anti-new deal tone was expected to be introduced into the platform. It was indicated that various planks would stress business depression, labor restlessness and a "rising dissatisfaction of Hoosier farmers toward federal agricultural policies.” Another part of the .platform was expected to attaok the windshield I "gadget law” which has been subjected to attacks from many fronts since its enactment by the 1937' I legislature. Members of the sub-committee, 'are; George L. Denny of Indianapollis, Ernest Thomas of Rushville, 1 George Craig of Brazil, John L. Niblack of Indianapolis, Carl Ogle of j ! Shelbyville, publicity director for . the state committee, and Judge J. [ A. Emmert of the Shelby circuit court. — -o * « i Many Reunions Scheduled For Summer Months | uunday, July 3 Ward reunion, rain or shine, j Sun Set park.

nounced by the commission late yesterday while eastern railroad executives were arguing for substitution of a 2S cent per mile coach rate for the existing two cent per mile rate. The commission, in rejecting the pullman company's petition filed last November for a geenral 10 per cent rate Increase, decided that existing revenues were insufficient to ear a fair return. It decided that the 10 per cent increase was unjustified, but that a five per cent boost could bo expected to yield proper returns. Approval of the pullmau Increase gave additional force to one of the major arguments advanced by the rail executives —that the difference between coach and pullman fares, currently two and three cents per mile respectively, diverts an unduly large number of passengers to day coach travel.

By CHARLES GRAM International IlluMraUd Ne»» WTltrf GRAND CANYON, Ariz. -She's the only*professional woman cougar hunter in America. She eould rope a steer before she was 12. She can shoot a mountain lion in the eye at 30 paces. Clark Gable calls her by her , given name. ■ Those arc just a few of the achievements of Mrs Mary Butler, who hunts mountain lion for a living but has never forgotten that women are born to be feminine. Mary and her husband, Jack, an ex-cowhand from Texas, operate Camp Moguitch, an hour's ride I from here deep in the Kaibab forest. The camp is headquarters for sportsmen who come from all I parts of the country to hunt the cougar, or mountain lion, with the I Butlers. Gable Likes to Hunt One such sportsman is Clark Gable, virile movie hero who would rather hunt the big "cats” than | make love to any beautiful cinema heroine, according to Mary. In the days when there was a 1 bounty for lions on the Kaibab i plateau, which extends northward for a thousand square miles from the north rim of the Grand Canyon, ' the Butlers hunted them for the I price of their heads. Now they hunt them for rates which cost dude hunters as high a3 S3O a day. They’ve been at it for 15 years, during which tunc they've rid the plateau of hundreds i of lions, thereby also saving the i lives of a great many deer. When she's not out hunting and l is dressed in store clothes, Mary looks like any young housewife who might be wondering what to prepare for hubby 3 supper. She uses* lipstick and likes a lit I | perfume now and then, too. But

principal spokesman for the executives, said that his road had noted a large Increase in the number of persons who ride on coaches In the daytime and pullmaus at night. Hi' attributed It to the large spread in fares for the two types of travel. Tho five per cent increase granted the pullman company, however, does not affect the basic three-cent per mile fare for pullman travel, but merely affects the surcharges levied by the pullman company itself for occupancy of chairs or berths. The commission suggested to the company that "it might be better policy” to extend the authorized five per cent increase to lower berths but not to upper berths, because of evidence showing that only one upper is sold for every five lowers. Increasing the spread I between costs of the two, the com- | mission suggested, might result in sale of additional upiters and consequently less waste space.

— - when she puts on her buckskin, skirt and western boots and takes; > her rifle in her hand, she looks for- . midable even to a lion. Mary was born on a ranch near Panguitch, Utah, and she’s ranch- ' reared, meaning she could ride a horse as soon as she could sit on! i one. She could use a lariat with telling effect, too, but she learned ‘ ’ to shoot like Deadeye Dick from i her husband, no mean marksman | i himself. > "Stopped His Roaming” "Jack was just a roaming cowboy on his way to Montana when he stopped at our ranch, but 1 J stopped his roaming," says Mary • “He had hunted lion before as a sideline to punching cows. We 1 took it up together and that’s .’ about all there is." According to some who have • hunted with Mary, there’s consid- ! erable more. She has succeeded inj capturing them alive after her dogs have treed them, no mean t feat considering that some of the 1 cats weigh around 200 pounds and i stretch 10 feet from nose to tip of . i tall. She thinks Clark Gable Is a regui lar fellow and a gcod hunter bej sides. He’s not too proud to sadi die his own horses in the morning, i after which he usually comes in , with a fearsome appetite. His usual salutation then is: "Got any-; thing to eat this morning, Mary ?" s He’s a good shot, too. i In the late winter, when the t .snow on the Kaibab plateau e reaches considerable depth, the. s Butlers hunt lion in the Pine Valc ley mountains of southern Utah/ near the great scenic wonderlands .1 of Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon, y thus making it an ail-ycar-round e business. o Mary, who says it s pretty; e profitable, has no intention of re- « ■ tiring. It's too easy away to make ,t! money, she says.
