M’NARY-HAUGEN FARM PLAN IS HIT IN KEYNOTE Fess Propounds Coolidge Doctrines in Address to Convention. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Fress Staff Correspondent Bu United Press CONVENTION HALL, KANSAS CITY, June 12.—The McNaryHaugen theory of farm relief was denounced as a measure which would only defer the day of reckoning, in the keynote speech of Senator Fess of Ohio to the opening session of the Republican national convention today. In the face of agitation in farm organizations for a party platform plank pledged to the program vetoed by President Coolidge, Fess propounded Coolidge farm doctrines to the convention. “To be substantial and effective,” he said, “the machinery of control must be farmer-owned, farmer-or-ganized and farmer-operated, rather than operated by a bureau from Washington. Must Be Constructive “Sound relief will avoid artificial stimulus such as Government pricefixing or Government buying and selling. All relief measures to be of permanent value must be constructive and grounded in economic principles underlying production and consumption.” Fes3 said he believed the real solution lies in development of extensive and efficient cooperative marketing and lowering of transportation costs. There can be ho doubt, he added, about the sincere desire of the party to deal intelligently with the problem. Fess devoted aflout one-sixth of his keynote to an analysis of the farm problem. The speech traced the economic accomplishments of the administration in detail and closed with a striking eulogy of President Coolidge as “the greatest personal and political fore ein the world today.” “By the greatest majority ever given in the history of elections the Republican party under the leadership of Warren G. Harding was called to the task of restoration, and at once grappled with the peace problems quite as difficult as those of war. “The manner in which the problems have been handled, first so well begun by the administration of our beloved and late lamented Warren G. Harding, and then by that of Coolidge, is too well known to call for further comment.” Problems Solved All our people have some knowl- j edge of the number, and most of i them some idea of the complication, of these problems. Very few will deny the complete success in the effort of solution. “Measured by those tests, the record of history is challenged to present a leadership with superior brilliancy and a higher rank in statesmanship than that of our present eminent leader. “In a comparatively short period we are passed from war confusion to peace contentment; from economic disorders to sound principles of progress; from a period of general prostration to one of substantial prosperity in which all basic industries are on sound economic foundations. “This remarkable record in administration reflects a type of political leadership at the head of the Government rarely experienced in this or any other country. Judgments Are Decisive "I once said, and I now repeat my statement. Few are his words, decisive his judgments. His comprehension of problems is broad, his vision clear, and his action dautless. His conception of public duty forestalls the employment of mere political expediency. He spurns the arts of the demagogue, and strengthens the passion of public rectitude. He is more concerned in directing the public mind in proper channels than In following puolic clamor based upon propaganda. ' “His sympathy for those in misfortune prevents his yielding to unsound remedies which in the end must only add to the suffering. He yields not to threats, nor is he persuaded by cajolery. "He aspires to render personal favors, but never at the expense of public welfare. His evident desire to do justice to all classes stitmulates public confidence. He shields no wrohg, nor denies no right. His sense of fairness provokes support and disarms attack. “After five years and seven months of leadership in our Nation, he leaves office by his own fiat, which appears to be final and so is interpreted by many of his friends, in spite of the fact that his nomination and election would be a foregone conclusion did he no; forbid. “This hold upon the confidence of the American people of every name, class and creed, without regard to partisan feeling, makes Calvin Coolidge the greatest personal and political force in the world today.”

KANSAS CITY PROVES IDEAL PARLEY TOWN There Are Enough Hotels and Weather’s Good, Delegates Find. Du Times Special KANSAS CITY, June 12.—Citizens of this city, at the gateway to southern hospitality and western breeziness, have every right to regard delegates to the Republican convention with injured faces. For Kansas City has been maligned by some of the Republicans and camp followers for many months. Ever since William M. Butler, national chairman, threw his support to this town for a convention site, he and his municipal choice have been questioned. But Kansas City has been a royal host. It has more hotels to the square inch, perhaps, than any city of similar size. Some of them are oldfashioned, but old-fashioned with quaintness and appeal. They are roomy and well arranged for convention purposes. It’s athletic club, which houses 200 newspaper correspondents, overlooks the countryside and offers the luxury of breakfast on the roof. Frisco itself hardly could have been more ideal in weather. The gods of sunlight and soft breezes smile upon the party and Kansas City. Kansas City is not overdoing the party stuff, but the delegates are enjoying the bus rides through outlying districts. There have been enough evening entertainments to relieve boredom. But, in their smiles and manner—even when merely answering questions about street locations—the Kansas Cityans—that’s what they call themselves—show their appreciation of the honor bestowed upon their city. Festoons, banners, bands, hawkers—all those color the streets, but in moderation. The city has not turned circus; it is retaining its dignity. lionstonTme OFFICERS TODAY Clubs Also Will Choose Convention City. Two business sessions, with elevation of officers and selection of the 1929 convention city, were on the program of the Indiana convention of Lions Clubs at the Claypool today. The annual breakfast of officers of State Lions clubs was held this morning. Presidents Lynn Craig, Scottsburg; J. L. Craig, Ft. Wayne, and Bayard Baker, Pendleton, and Secretary Charles Piety, Terre Haute, made short talks. ' National Director Arthur C. Call spoke at this morning’s session. Thomas L. Polk, president of the Indianapolis Lions, was toastmaster at the annual dinner-dance at the Riley room, Monday night. The annual quartet contest and trophy cup was won by the Connersville Club. Prof. Robert P. Phillips, Purdue University, district president, spoke. Indiana Women’s Lion Clubs, heard a musical program at the Marott Hotel this morning, and were guests at a luncheon bridge this afternoon. Mrs. J. C. Springer was in charge of the program. General Sheridan's famous ride was made during the Civil War in connection with the Battle of Cedar Creek, fought twenty miles from Winchester, Va.

The four occupants of the trans-Pacific monoplane Southern Cross plan to spend a brief time in Australia and then continue around the world, according to recent reports. This map shows their tentative route. Starting from Oakland, Cal., they spanned the Pacific ocean, via Hawaii and the Fiji Islands. From Sidney, after a stop at Brisbane, they plan to fly over the Dutch East Indies, probable by way of Singapore, to Calcutta; thence their route would take them to Karachi and across Europe to London. From London they would drop down to Seville, Spain, and thence to Senegal, Africa. At Seengal they would begin another ocean hop, to Pernambuco, Brazil, flying next to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. Then would come a hazardous flight across the Andes, probably to Valparaiso, followed by a trip up over Panama to Mexico City. The last hop would take them from Mexico City back to Oakland,, the starting place.

High Points of Keynote Du United Press Following are some of the striking statements of the Republican keynote speech delivered today by Senator Fess of Ohio; “The Liberty loan refunding is an achievement which challenges the record of all history and displays a financial position never before reached by any people in the history of the world.” a a a “Tax reduction was made possible only on the sound economic policy of the Government under present leadership, and was not at the expense ot efficiency in administration, nor at the loss of any needed appropriation.” a a . a “Today we are in the longest period of sustained business prosperity in our history. To continue it free from the cycle of business depression is the prime concern of leadership in industry.” a a a “The ambition of Republican leadership and policy is the open door to the maximum utilization of all our people of whatever class or race, profession or calling to promote self-reliance and in the degree humanly possible to banish poverty from our midst.” a a a “The ruling ambition of Republican leadership is to insure the maximum prosperity of all our people, and especially of those employed in agriculture and industry.” a a a “The problem of agriculture trom a producer’s standpoint is a more equitable distribution of what the consumer of food has to pay.” , a a a “The farmer’s complaint is not that the consumer does not pay enough, but of what he pays the producer does not get his rightful share.” tt a a “We still hold to the doctrine of our fathers to avoid alliances.’’

TRICK AUTOISTS BY W CLUBS Ohians Fleeced by Fake Service Schemes. Dp .vr.4 Service WASHINGTON, June IV—Barnum’s “one a minute” suckers are falling hard for “gyp” automobile clubs in Ohio. According to the American Automobile Association, that State is now the stamping ground for manyfake motor clubs and motor service organizations. Worthless service contracts and the depredations of the “gyps” that have imposed a heavy toll on garages, service stations, filling stations and hostelries catering to the motorist are cleaning up many thousands of dollars for their operators. Through the American Automobile Association,' which has secured the cooperation of the Post Office Department, the Department of Justice and better business bureaus all over the country, motorists are being protected and advised. AL-DONAHEY TALKED AS HOUSTON TICKET Ohio Governor in Conferences With New York Leader, Du United Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 12.—Rumors of a movement between political factions of New York and Ohio to nominate Governor Alfred E. -Smith of New York for President, and Governor Vic Donahey for president were insistent here today. Governor Donahey was in conference with a M. S. Tremain of New York, who sought the appointment by long-distance telephone, attaches of the Governor’s office said. Indications were that Tremain is Morris S. Tremain, State comptroller of New York and head of the State department of audit and control elected to that office in 1926 and said to be a political lieutenant of GovI ernor Smith.

BY CECIL OWEN TTnited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 12.—Public utilities publicity in Texas is directed by William C. Grant, a “relief editor” of the Associated Press, the Federal Trade Commission learned today. Grant told the commission he acted as editor in the Dallas bureau of the press association on Saturday nights and had aided in circulating considerable public utilities information 'over Associated Press wires. One of Grant’s reports to his utilities employers submitted to the commission said: “While attending the American Railroad Association convention in Cleveland, the director (Grant) wired two stories each day to the Associated Press at Dallas for distribution in Texas papers, thus materially aiding the street railways in Texas.” * Texas is the latest of several States to be investigated by the trade commission under instructions from the Senate. Statistics show that the average British woman now is five feet, two inches tall, has a ‘‘pull” of 183 pounds and a grip of fifty-eight pounds.

THREE HELD ON $4,000 GOODS THEFTCHARGE Large Amount of Loot Is Discovered in Homes, Police Declare. Auto parts, new and used, tires, radio equipment, machinery and miscellaneous loot valued at $4,000, was seized by police early today when they caught two men and one woman believed responsible for scores of thefts in the city. Roy R. Sharrer, 35, and his wife, Clarice Sharrer, 33,, of 533 Coffey St., and Oscar D. Sanders, 32, cf 537 Warren Ave., are held; Sharrer on a charge of burglary and the others vagrancy. The men axe under $3,000 bond. Police are sorting through a roomful of goods found at the two addresses. Lieutenant Patrick O’Connor and Patrolmen Leroy Bartlett and Arthur Hueber were watching a parked Ford touring car at ThirtyFourth and Orchard Sts. Monday, midnight, when Sharerr returned to the car carrying a truck muffler, coil and air cooler, they said. After a chase, he was overtaken and locked up. From the police station he telephoned his wife to dispose of the plunder, police said, and when Lieut. O'Connor's squad arrived, Mrs. Sharerr and Sanders were heaping it in a Chevrolet coupe. At Sanders’ house officers found additional plunder,. they reported. Four auto loads of the stuff was transported to the police station today. Included were radio battery eliminators and parts, cigars, tires, tubes, horns, tools, torches, drills, cutters and new motor heads. Sharerr told police he came here six months ago from Chicago. His wife, however, said they came from Muncie, where her husband, six years ago. was sentenced for forgery, serving four years. Sanders is married and has one child. 8. William T. Milliron, 3409 Orchard St.„ identified some of the parts as taken from his truck. BARE SECRETS OF _MUMMIES X-Ray Gives New Angle on Egypt’s Religion. CHICAGO, June 12.—The theory that ancient Egyptians were intensely sincere worshippers of their dead is challenged by X-ray studies of mummies now being carried on at the Chicago Field Museum by Miss Anna R. Bolan, staff roentgenologist. Specimens thus far studied reveal that, while the outside wrappings were always elaborate, the bodies inside were not always so carefully treated. One mummy case contained only a skull and legs with a few finger bones carelessly thrown in. The X-ray revealed in another specimen, that of a small child, that both arms had been severed and the upper bones of both legs broken to make the body fit into the case. A long animal bone was discovered inside the body of a female mummy, indicating that embalmers were sometimes careless In their work. One interpretation of these discoveries is that the Egyptians’ ceremonious care of their dead soon became only a formal rite, maintained through force of tradition. The X-ray investigations will be extended to all the Egyptian and Peruvian mummies in the museum. This technique, which is not in extensive use anywhere else in the world, will make It possible to unearth a great deal of new material without damaging the specimens.

HEFLIN WILL GO TO HOUSTON TOHGHT AL Although Not a Delegate, He May Hire a Hall to Make Speeches. BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 12.—Senator Thomas Heflin, most articulate of the anti-Smith faction in the Democratic party, will be among those present at the Houston convention. Although not a delegate, Heflin has decided to attend as a “guest ot the party,” prepared to take whatever steps seem necessary to prevent the nomination of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York for President. Every Senator and Congressman is entitled to a seat on the convention platform but this courtesy does not privilege them to speak. The oratorical Alabaman, however, has no intention merely of sitting. May Hire a Hall Heflin said his plan of attack is not definitely decided, but intimated he might try to hire a hall near the convention building where he could orate to Southern delegates on Smith and Tammany. “Senator Borah was not a delegate to the Republican convention in 1920,” Heflin pointed out, “but he made the best speech of his career at a meeting outside the convention hall against selling the nomination.” The Alabama Senator’s original plan was to stay away from the Democratic convention. His change cf heart was prompted, he said, by the outcome of primary elections in West Virginia, North Carolina and Texas. Confident of Whipping A1 "In the light of Smith’s defeat in these States,” he said, "I am confident we can beat him. I predict he won’t get a single delegate from the South. “I look for the boys to get together at the convention and decide on someone else. Perhaps it will be Senator Reed. Although I am not for him, he would be acceptable to me and I think the South would take him.” Heflin is to speak at Lima, Ohio tonight and in Washington Thursday. Later he plans a foray on Albany, N. Y., Smith’s own headquarters.

WOMEN GROW I 'HARD-BOILED' AS DELEGATES Fewer at This G. 0. P, • Parley, but Those There Are ‘Educated.’ BY THOMAS L. STOKES United’ Press Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, June 12.—Worn* en are fewer in this Republican, convention tha nin 1924—but they; are politically more “hard-boiled’’ and wiser. The majority of the sixty-four women delegates know a political trick or two—or more—and participate on the same basis as men in the numerous pow-wows here which are going on continually in a dozen hotels large and small. They speak out in meeting, and know what they are talking about. They are learning to trade anc| compromise. Women Arc Educated The last four years has been an education. The w r omen who came here this time, for the most part, are the “educated.” There were 111 delegates to the 1924 nearly twice as many as sit in the present body. Many of those were designated for the “honor” of the position. That type has disappeared largely from this convention. The women here this year have earned their positions by political service. In this convention there are 239 alternates, and among them are women who have begun their education in practical politics. Women have taken a prominent part in the Hoover and anti-Hoover fight which preceded the convention opening. Women yet of local and State importance have shown their political shrewdness—and a female taste for a fight. Two women stand out large as factors on the opposite of this battle—Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general, Hoover advocate, and Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick of Illinois, leader of the Lowden forces. Grumble But Little While the West gave women the ballot first, they apparently are taking a more active practical interest in the East. New York leads with nine women delegates, Massachusetts is second with five. The men are not entirely resigned to woman’s participation, but they take their presence philosophically. with only an occasional grumble when some woman refuses to yield her position—and refuses and refuses.
