G. 0. P. IN HAPPY MOOD AS COMMITTEEMEN TREK TOWARD CAPITAL FOR PARLEY MONDAY Leaders in High Hopes of Turning Roosevelt Out of White House; Cleveland May Land Convention. BY THOMAS L. STOKES 7im#*s S per ia I Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. A hundred-odd men and v omen who would like very much to throw President and Mrs. Roosevelt out of the White House, and who would get a lot of credit if that, were done, are about to hold a meeting a few blocks from the White House to talk about ways and means. Which is to say that members of the Republican National Committee are filtering into town for their scheduled

meeting Monday. They are more chipper than they were at their last doleful meeting in Chicago a year and a hall ago, when they elected Henry F. Fletcher chairman. Summoned here for the business of issuing a formal call for thp national convention next June, to select a. convention city and to apportion delegate representation, it’s j a safe forecast that their conver- 1 sat ions outside the official ses- j sions will run much further afield. There undoubtedly wall be discussion of candidates, though the na- j tional committee officially has nothing to do with candidates. Like- j wisp there will be speculation as to ; what purses can be tapped for a j campaign fund which is expected to I be large—now that Big Business has j declared open warfare on Mr. Roosevelt. Rivalry among citip.s for the privi- j lege of entertaining the convention Will he less keen than usual, what j with people broke from the depres-| sion and reluctant to contribute cold j rash to civic pride. It costs around $200,000 to stage one of these af- , fairs. St. Louis, for instance, has an- j pounced that she will not bid for either convention. Cleveland Likely Choice Cleveland seems to be in a j favored position for the Republican : meeting because Ohio has no randi- I date, because Ohio is a. doubtful state, and because Mayor Harold Burton will arrive with a check for ; $200,000 in his hand. Chicago, which had both conven- ' lions in 1932. will be up in the run- j ning, and Kansas City, too. Each j has the handicap of having a candi- j date in the area—Gov. Landon of | Kansas and Frank Knox, the Chi- j cago publisher. Two potential candidates for the j Republican nomination are likely to find their ears burning—Herbert j Hoover and Senator Borah. Neither finds much favor with the commit- j tee. for these men and wombn are | practical politicians and do not be- j lieve they could win with Mr. Hoo- j ver. And as far as the Senator is j concerned, they are largely a con- j servative, if not reactionary group. | and look with fear upon Mr. Borah'sJ inflationary tendencies and his New j Deal leaning on several issues. Landon Out in Front Gov. Landon seems, just now r , W> he in front and the reaction of j committee members may give a ' more definite clew to his prospects. Scouts of all the aspirants, who in- j cludp Senators Arthur H. Vanden- j herg of Michigan and L. J. Dickin- { son of lowa, will be hanging around ! the corridors of the Mayflower. I Some weeks ago there was talk of | holding the Republican convention after the Democratic one as a j strategical move, on the theory that j it would give Republicans an ad- j vantage in framing their platform, j and make possible a gesture to con- j servative Democrats who are dis -i satisfied with the Democratic plat- j form. This plan now' seems likely j to be abandoned. Ex-Senator Walter E. Edge of i New Jersey is suggesting that the committee make recommendations to the convention as to the platform, which would be unusual, and this question very likely will be raised at the meeting. Finances in Good Shape Republicans arp still puzzled over issues, particularly the farm issue, but now with magazine polls swing- ! ing in their favor, the tendenev I seem/' to be toward a campaign of j fear, well financed, such as Mark Hanna employed against Brvan in 1836. Chairman Fletcher said today that the committee of Big Business men and financiers which he j appointed recently is already at work and he is hopeful of their en- | deavors. Unlike the Democratic Party, j which is in debt, the Republicans I have a small surplus, thanks to the ! effective work of the chairman and his assistants. ‘ When I walked into this office." he said, "I asked them how much was in thp drawer and I was told ! there was $5.34."

AUSTRIA HURLS NEW DEFI AT GERMANY Suppression of Naziism Aim of Von Starhemberg. fljl United Press VIENNA, Dec. 12.—Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg, vice | chancellor and Fascist leader, has : informed Adolf Hitler of Germany that union of Germany and Austria : is discussable only on the basis of Austrian leadership. He also paid his respects in a ! speech last night to the monarchists who want restoration of Otto, head lof the House of Hapsburg.. It was all r’ ,ht for members of the FatherI land Front—the coalition of semi- | military patriotic organizations—to I indulge in monarchist propaganda. |he said. But he added that the i monarchy, when it comes, must 1 have as its basis a corporative constitution. That is, the Fascist constitution providing for government by corporations along the line of the Italian Fascist regime. The government's 1936 program, Starhemberg said, would be ruth-

less suppression of Austrian Naziism and leniency toward repentant Socialists. REPRIEVE FOR BRUNO UNLIKELY, IS LATEST Gov. Hoffman Denies Routine Procedure Will Be Changed. F<y United Press TRENTON.

Indianapolis Municipal Airport is to have the most modern blind-land-ing equipment in the nation. B. H. Griffin. Department of Commerce representative supervising installation of the WPA project, said today.
