LUCAS WOULD DRIVE NORRIS OUTOF PARTY G. 0. P. Must Oust New Executive or Break Openly With Nebraskan. by l nitfd prrss WASHINGTON. Dec. 22. The Republican party, torn by new discords, today laced the apparent necessity of breaking openly with Senator George W. Norris or ejecting from its councils its newly selected executive director, Robert H. Lucas. The fact that the decision must be made in the‘midst of national attention given to revelations of Lucas’ efforts against Norris in the Nebraska campaign makes it all the more difficult for the party, which emerged only recently from a somewhat similar experience with Claudius Huston, former national chairman. In that case Huston resigned, but there has been no indication yet of a willingness to sacrifice Lucas. Wants Norris Ousted There has been no secret to the antipathy of regular Republicans to Norris, who bolted the party in 1928 to support Alfred E. Smith. But until the present the feeling has been kept more or less from public view. Now the whole thing has been forced into the open. Lucas stated his side of the issue in a statement. He apparently wants to hold his job and is fighting against senate demands for his resignation. With this determination, he came out flatly with a demand that Norris bo read out ot his party. The statement, issued through the Republican national committee, would indicate possible administration support of the view, as well as the sympathy of such Republican leaders as Senator Simeon D. Fcss of Ohio, committee chairman, and James E. Watson (Ind.), senate floor leader. Face Fierce Party Fight The situation casts thftre regular Republicans in open opposition to the insurgent element of the party. Following the Huston difficulties, the more recent flareup over prohibition within the Republican ranks and the party’s difficulties in the present, congress, the party seemed face to face with serious difficulties which might even go to the length of the splits of 1912 and 1924. The November elections, with their Republican losses, have not helped the party’s morale.

RUSH ACT FOR TEXTS SCORED Printers Protest Ha'ste in Schoolbook Choice. Protest against what they termed ‘•unseemly haste” in the proposed five-year text-book adoption scheduled by Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent of public instruction, for Jan. 5, is voiced in an open letter to the state board of education from the Indianapolis Allied Printing Trades Council. The' state board sits as a school book commission for the adoption. Attention has been directed to the haste surrounding the letting by The Times. The printers’ letter states: We desire to protest against this unseemly haste in so important a matter. It appears to us that the excuse Riven (for advancing the letting date to Jan. 5) that this is on account of the state legislature. is taken from a peculiar angle. It is true that some action may be taken by the legislature in rege't. to school books. Ought not your bociv conform itself to that possibility? Would it not out the state board of education in a better light if it would avoid this unseemly haste? The letter also asks that the board insist that the textbook printing be done in Indiana.

CHICAGO DRAFTS LAW TO BREAK RULE OFGANGS Measure Would Classify -Public Enemies’ as Felons. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—A proposed emergency state law classifying “public enemies” as felons and under which gangsters could be giver,, long prison terms was Chicago’s answer today to the problem of convicting millionaire leaders in the liquor, gambling and vice industries. James G. Condon, former assistant state's attorney and member of the Chicago crime commission, announced plans for the law which is entitled “an act against public enemies.” Leading jurists, attorneys and anti-crime campaigners aided Condon in drawing the bill. “Under present conditions,” Condon explained, “law enforcement agencies are certain that certain men are criminals. Evidence acceptable in court can not be obtained against them, however. “They can be charged with vagrancy, but that term is loose and convictions are difficult to obtain. “A lawless and notorious character, accustomed to live by the rule

of a gun, might well be considered a public menace by merely appearing on the street. But no matter how notorious the gangster, the courts will not convict him for merely appearing in public.” Convictions, entailing small fines or short prison sentences, can be made against gangsters on such charges as gun carrying bond jumping, attempted jury bribery or witness intimidation, Condon said. A list of such offenses is contained in the proposed state act. “For an illustration of how 1 the law would work,” Condon said, “take the case of Scarface A1 Capone, suppose he were arrested for gun toting and jumped his bond? “Under the proposed law, Capone

then would become a public enemy and a warrant naming him as one would be issued. Upon his arrest he could be tried on a charge of being a public enemy and a conviction would carry as severe a sentence as would such a major crime as highway robbery.” The law also would make it legal for judges to consider the prisoner's wealth in setting bail bonds. In the school year 1927-28 there were 767,141 students in colleges and universities, of whom 280.437 were in public schools and 486,704 were in private institutions.
