250 SOCIALISTS MEET MAY 25 FOR CONVENTION Norman Thomas Is Favored as Party’s Candidate for President. BY WILLIS THORNTON Times Special Writer CLEVELAND. May 6.—The real opening gun of the fall presidential campaign will be fired on the afternoon of May 25. And it is going to he a loud discharge. On that day, after two days of preliminary sessions, the first political party to swing into official action—the Socialist—will choose its candidates and propound its plat form. Meeting in the same building here that will house the Republicans two weeks later, the Socialists are expecting a conclave which will be as hot. if not as large, as the G. O. P. gathering. About 250 delegates and 2000 visitors representing the 17.500 paid-up members of the party will be present. Led Ticket Twice Evrry indication points to nomination of Norman Thomas for President. He has twice before made the race under the Socialist banner, reaching a peak popular votp of 884.781 in 1932, closely approaching the Socialist high-water mark of 919.799 votes for Gene Debs in 1920. Thomas has indicated that he would prefer to run for Congress, but that he will make the race for President if nominated. The heat of the Socialist convention is expected to be generated not so much by the nomination itself as by a bad split in the party, which may change its future. A bitter battle between “the militants" and “the old guard” seems certain. Factional Fight Certain The New York delegation of 44. almost a fifth of the convention, won by “the militants,” will be protested b r le “old guard.” The mili- * laction is strong in Massachu/fts, Maryland. Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania also. The “old guard” leader is Louis Waldman, whose grip on the New York party organization has recently been shaken for the first time in many years. Significance of this conflict is greater than a mere primary fight. It lies in a deep clevage of thought. Last year, at the Detroit convention. the party went on record as favoring two things: First, joint action with Communists to oppose, by strikes and force if necessary, all war preparation: and, second, that in case the present government faltered as a result of social confusion, the party would not hesitate to seizp powpr no matter whether it repro!- nted a majority of the people or not.

Opposed by “Old Guard” Thr.se ideas are repugnant to oldfashioned Socialists, who have always held that Socialism must come by gradual education of the people to the point where a majority of ' them wish a socialist regime. The ‘ old guard” has kept up a i running fight all year against the ! "militant” group, which now apparently controls the party. Many of these "militants” now reject even the Communist alliance, | because they believe the Comunists i have “gone soft” in advocating legis- j lative reforms under the present government. Work With Communists Thomas believes in working with the Communists in specific cases, such as the Scottsboro case or in lobbying for unemployment insurance. but opposes a general political union with them because of differences in philosophy. In some ways he considers them too radical, in others not radical enough. It is unlikely that the Socialist convention will back a Farmer-La-bor party this year. Thomas is against it. Further friction will arise out of thp move to develop a Labor NonPartisan League for Roosevelt. The Socialist convention is expected to oppose this, but many influential members of the party, believing it impossible to register even an impressive protest vote for their own candidate, let alone electing him, are planning to support Roosevelt through the non-partisan league. David Dubinsky. president of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, is an e.rample. He resigned from the Socialist party so that his support of Roosevelt would embarrass neither the Democrats nor the Socialists. Kraycki May Be Keynoter Keynote speech for the Socialist convention will probably be made by Leo Krzycki, labor organizer and chairman of the executive committee. He is also mentioned as a probable vice presidential candidate. This speech, the mass meeting of May 23. floor sessions of May 25. and possibly the banquet the night of May 25. will be broadcast. Delegates will be present from every state except Oregon, where the Socialists are in the midst of a party reorganization. The party’s campaign will feature a dozen sound trucks, which will tour the country in behalf of their nominee. Cleveland sessions will be held not in the great auditorium which will accommodate the G. O. P. hosts, but in the ballroom of the same Public Hall. Col. Strong Reported Better Col. George V. Strong, Eleventh Infantry' commander at Fort Benjamin Harrison, is reported convalescing today in post hospital from a recent appendectomy.

FOLLY and FAREWELL

Linda is In lore with DIX CARTER, bat he (net abroad te study slnflnr- When Peter asks her to marry him the agrees, but postpones the wedding. HONEY HARMON, film star, comes to Newtown, making a “personal appearance" tour She buys a scenario written by Linda. Linda goea to Hollywood. and there, expressing ideas' that are really Peter's, she acquires a reputation for being able to discover new stars. Soon she is a celebrity. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER THIRTEEN LINDA knew, the first moment that she saw him, that Basil i Tr.orne would play an important j part in her life, however brief that . part might be. He was an enormous man and, looking at him, Linda Bourne remembered Cora ; Jarrett’s saying, “I don’t even know whether he is ugly or handsome.” When a man like Thome ati tracted a woman he was attracted I to, he would be more than handI some, she thought. Everything about him was dramatic. His curly hair was crinkly rather than merely curly. His voice was deep, his step was a stride, his eyes met and held the other's gaze. His frown darkened his whole sac? His smile broke it up in waves as though all the parts of it were separate units, controlled by the mechanism of that smile. Linda came upon him after she had discarded her traveling frock for a white knitted bathing suit, the slacks and cartwheel sun hat that was the accepted beach costume. Honey’s house party >vas distributed over the playground of tennis courts and patio. Linda, hot and t.red from the dusty motor trip, made her way to the beach. She dropped the slacks, and replaced the cartwheel with a bathing cap. The water was too tempting! She ran into it eagerly, and broke into the smooth stroke Pete Gardiner had taught her. Exhilj arated and refreshed, she pulled j herself up to the float and found herself not alone. u an THORNE, in tights, his crinkly hai“ gleaming wetly in the i sun, reached down a bronzed arm and drew her up. He didn't let her go for a moment until she got her footing, and for one breathless minute they clung together in the most impersonal way. Then, laughing and a little breathless, she drew away. “Thanks,” she said, drawing off the tight cap and shaking her head to free the water that had seeped around her curls. “A pleasure,” he said, taking her arm as her perilous footing on the wet flooring threatened to send her slipping into the water. “May I have the next minute?" “You'll have to ask my father,” she answered, and regarded him appraisingly. “You don't look the type for a minute at / l.” “I'm not,” he said. "I’m a prize fighter and I suppose you are a movie star.” “You're not, I'm sure.” Linda felt very gay. "And you're not a Californian.” “You can't be sure of anything about me, but you are correct. I'm not a Californian. Why did you say that?” mum "TJECAUSE you couldn’t possibly D have mistaken me for a movie star.” "I know,” he said. “You're the little girl who works at the ribbon counter, having a wonderful day at the beach.” "That’s right,” she answered gravely. “And I came here because I heard picture people do. and I always hoped some day I would meet a movie director who would be impressed with my expressive face, and you turn out to be a prize fighter!” “Not a very good one,” he said quickly. “Oh. don’t apologize. I’m not a very good ribbon clerk. I only sell the blue ribbon that ladies use to tie up old love letters. I’m working up to the apron-strings depart- [ ment.” Thorne had thrown himself full i length beside her on the float and j studied her thoughtfully, his chin , supported by his hands. “I don’t think you’d make such 1 a bad pair of apron-strings to be tied to. Young lady, you're the first girl I’ve met in Hollywood who looked like the kind of a girl a man might want to marry. How much of that ribbon for love letters have you sold to yourself?” mum "npHANKS for the implied comX pliment,” Linda said drily. “I don't save either love letters or compliments." “I'm not a marrying man mvMORE INVITES For Girls Who Feel Fit Men like girls who are full of life and spirit and always ready for a good time.

self, but if I change my mind may I come around and see you?” “YouH have to ask my father.” Linda drew her cap on hastily and grasped the side of the ladder. “Wait a minute. I think I have changed my mind. May I swim you home?” Linda was several feet head of him. She raised her arm. It was an invitation. “What's your name and where are you staying?” he shouted. “What's yours?” she shouted back and caught, “Basil Thorne.” “That’s unfair to labor.” she shouted again. “You lied to a working girl.” He caught her at the water’s edge and grasped her elbows in his strong hands. “I probably will be unfair to you,” he said. “But you’ll like it.” Rubbing herself vigorously with LOCALHANTO TALKJN TEXAS James A.

This was revealed today in a survey released by the Northwestern Nationa 1 Life Insurance Cos. Employment calls at the Notre Dame business school are 50 per cent more numerous than last year, and employment demand is “considerably greater” at the Notre Dame engineering school. Purdue statistics show that more companies are seeking graduates this year, with starting salaries averaging approximately sll3 a month. Lonely Citizens Drink More By United Press SALEM Ore.. May 6.

a towel, running a comb through her hair, donning a sleeveless linen frock, socks and sandals, tying a ribbon around her hair and making herself look younger by the minute, Linda thought of Basil Thorne, and deliberately slowed her efforts. mum SHE wanted to see him. and she didn’t want to see him. Hadn’t Cora told her that Thorne was Honey Harmon's . . what was the word Cora had used? Linda remembered the implication if she hadn’t remembered the word. Anri she had no intention of making such a stupid move as to annex a movie star’s favored escort. Nevertheless. Linda's heart skipped one beat as small as the sip she took from her glass when, half an hour later. Thorne, in flannels and soft shirt, strode into the patio where the others were all sitting. He frowned at Linda, and turned to Honey. “Honey, do you allow children to drink at your parties? Tsk, tsk! So this is the immorality I’ve been hearing about!" “Children or immorality? What j are you talking about?” Honey ! asked, and cuddled up to Basil Thorne. “This is my man and watch for kitty’s claws” her smile said plainly. “The little girl with the blue hairribbon.” Basil pointed sternly to Linda. “What’s she doing with these grownups?” mum HONEY’S lips weren't quite so sweet. “Oh, so sorry. Linda, ! this is Basil Thorne. Linda Bourne, the writer, you know.” “No! You lied to me!” He took the glass from Linda’s hand and threw himself at her feet. She turned to Gregory Pryor, at her left, and asked him if he thought Briffaud’s novel had any lasting significance. Pryor had theories about it, and discussed them until dinner time. Basil Thorne did not take dismissal seriously. He knew too much about women. He watched Linda through dinner, caught her eyes on his, and the quick flush as she turned to the others deliberately, Linda lost at bridge. She couldn’t remember cards with Thorne’s eyes burning through her. It was nearly midnight and they were all together in the small drawing room when Linda excused herself. She didn’t go to her room Out-of-doors it was starry and dark and clear. Her head ached with fatigue and excitement. She picked up a wrap and, slipping out, made her way to the beach. Her solitary study of the night came to a quick end. mum BASIL THORNE stood beside her. She turned to speak to him, and he took her in his arms. He kissed her hard and murmured something she couldn’t hear. She tried to draw away. “That’s not fair,” she said. “I told you I wouldn’t be fair,” he said, “but I told you I’d make you like it.” In the darkness she could see the triumph in his smile. For a fleeting second she tried to understand herself. Had she liked it, or was the wild beating of her heart anger? “I came out looking for something I thought I’d lost.” Honey Harmon with an undertone of threat in her voice that women usually recognize, was at their side.
