Young Tom, growing up. showed signs of resenting this old family custom At 16 he told old Tom so and got a licking. When he was 20, young Tom displayed his resentment again and got a crack on the jaw. "You and better grow up first, lad," said old Tom. Sunday, old Tom had a bun on and was cursing Molly. Young Tom told him to shut up. Old Tom said he'd like to be made to shut up. Young Tom landed three times on old Tom's jaw. Old Tom didn't get up the third time. Yesterday old Tom died. His friends said it was heartbreak. Police said he died of a hemorrhage Young Tom was arraigned today on a charge of murder.

bearer in the next presidential cam- ; paien. but Indiana Republican ! I leaders join in a belief growing in the party that the only chance for the presidency and recapture of Congress in 1936 is a change in leadership. As one prominent Indiana Republican admits: 1 The Old Guard is done for. The party wouldn't have any more chance than the proverbial snowball in hell, if Hoover runs again. It’s time for a change both in leadership and party principles. • There wasn’t a thing wrong with the Roosevelt platform when he was elected. Sit down and study it: take it up plank by plank and you'll find that it was just about as good a platform as could have been written. •"Hie trouble is that President Roosevelt has drifted far from his platform. There can't be doubt in any one's mind that Hoover was thoroughly repudiated and it would be folly for the party to endanger its future by letting the Hoover element dominate."

No dreamer was Mr. Mellon, he explained to the board of tax appeals, and he r i not foresee the prominence that the bank now has attained in the nation's financial affairs. But he merely felt, since the other stockholders did not like his methods, that they had better get out, and they did. WRIGHT PLANE DUE TO t'E RETURNED TO U. S.

Methodists Flay Coughlin as Enemy of Union Labor Radio Priest Linked to Long and Johnson in Fascist Plot to Rule Masses in Social Service Report. Bv United Prr** NEW YORK. April 3.--Recent radio speeches of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson. Senator Huey P. Long and the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin were called attempts to seize Fascist leadership of the masses by the Methodist Federation for Social Service in a report to members today.

The federation said Long and the priest were unfair to organized labor, but linked them with Gen. Johnson as “contestants for leadership of the unawakened masses." The report charged that: Father Coughlin's office workers receive less than a living wage. His church buildings were constructed by non-union lahor at rates 40 per cent below the union scale. “The International Typographical Union.” the report said, “and the Cleveland Federation of Labor have openly denounced him < Father Coughlint for his non-union policy. During the automobile strike last spring he spoke sympathetically of company unions. The sort of unions he has in mind are shop committees or councils, but controlled and regulated bv the state.” Long was assailed in like manner and conditions in Louisiana were cited. “His Legislature." the report '.aid. “has not enacted bills for old-age pensions, a minimum wage or unemployment insurance, has not ratified the child-labor amendment and has not granted the prevailing wage on state relief projects in Louisiana."

DMVERFAGES 14 CHARGES OF lAV BREAKHG Record of Attempting to Mix Alcohol, Gasoline Dates Back to 1931. All other individual traffic law violation charges in the drive currently carried on by police paled in the presence of that of Fred Steele. 38. filling station operator, 2570 Bluff - rd. Steele has a record of unsuccessfully attempting to mix alcohol and gasoline that goes back to 1931. when in May he was in Municipal Court and got a suspended $lO and costs fine for being drunk. Accompanying charges of drunken driving were dismissed and he was discharged on blind tiger charges. In May, 1932. he was fined $5 and costs for being drunk and shooting within the city limits. In August, 1933, he was held tn the grand jury on a. charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. April 28. 1934. charges of intoxication and drunken driving charges were dismissed and he was held for two days in the mental ward at City Hospital for observation, and then released. Driver’s License Revoked In September. 1934, he was convicted of drunken driving in Shelby - ville and his driver’s license was revoked for a period of one year. Nevertheless, he obtained anew driver’s license the first of the year, and on March 26 this year was arrested by state police on charges of intoxication, drunken driving, having no driver's license and vagrancy. That case was continued until April 6, and that same night he again was arrested and charged with drunken driving, no driver's license, vagrancy and perjury. The perjury resulted from falsely .swearing, police said, that, his license had not been revoked when he obtained a, new license this year. That case also was continued until April 6. On April 1, as a result of an accident at Fountain Square, he was arrested on charges of intoxication, drunken driving, having no driver's license, having no title to his car and vagrancy. This case also was continued until Saturday. Held Under s7sftft Bond Steele is now held in lieu of a $7500 bond. Maximum penalties upon conviction of the 14 charges now pending mount to fines of SI3OO and costs and sentences totaling 900 days. Prosecutors point out that they can charge him three times with drunken driving after a first conviction on that charge: that the offenses are felonies and could carry imprisonment terms of from one to five years, to run concurrently. Feionies of operating a motor vehicle after the driver’s license has been revoked carry penalties of fines from $1 to SSOO and imprisonment of from two to six months, or both. This charge is applicable for every time he drove his car after September. 1934. Conviction on the perjury charge would carry imprisonment of from one to five years.

ter poverty on one hand and concentrated wealth on the other remain in Louisiana.” The report quoted Father Coughlin as having said Long was “an honest-to-God devotee of social justice.” It further attempted to prove that the priest had given Long a pledge of non-opposition. Gen. Johnson. Long and Father Coughlin were grouped as trying to maintain an economic system, described as “unethical, unchristian and anti-social.” by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The report said that neith°r proposals of the Roosevelt Administration nor Father Coughlin's program for raising living standards i could be achieved under the profit system. Long's “fantastic promises” were still further from fulfillment, the report said. The federation in previous reports has been critical of President, Roosevelt. The organization’s two secretaries write the reports, which are sent throughout the country to j the clergy and lay members of the federation. Bishop Francis J. McConnell is, president of the federation. *
