OARP PLANNED CAPITAL MARCH, PROBE REVEALS Million Aged Would Have Made Trip, Backers of Idea Thought. (Continued From Page One) was revealed in a letter by Frank Peterson, former Townsend publicity counsel, to Dr. Frank Dyer, West Coast Townsend official. Mr. Peterson, writing in January, 1935, said he expected “to have Dr. Townsend and Father Coughlin get together in a short time.” “We are just beginning to get into high gear,” Mr. Peterson wrote, “and in a month from now I think we will have generated so much steam that we will have the opposition on the run. Forbade Letter, He Says “What do you think of the idea of having one million old folks come to Washington to see the President, the congressmen and the Senators. They could come for a two-week period and during that time call on one Senator after another, and get in the hair of the Congressmen. Congress would capitulate overnight. “We would have to tell these old folks not to come unless they could maintain themselves while here—but every one with whom I have talked thinks it would make our bill a cinch to pass.” Dr. Townsend said he did not know Mr. Peterson w’as writing the letter and that as soon as he found out “I forbade him sending out” petitions advocating the movement. “I did not want the old folks coming here at that time,” he explained. Klanton Termed Enemy “Is it true that Gomer Smith spent S2IOO of OARP funds to feed the caravan and distribute firewater to the Indians,” Mr. Sullivan asked. “I don’t know,” Dr. Townsend replied. Letters dated Jan. 16, 1935, from Mr. Peterson to Mr. Dyer said Rep. Thomas Blanton <D., Tex.) “looms as our worst enemy” and suggested organizing his district “100 per cent with Townsend clubs” to get a petition to force his resignation. “It would have a very chastening effect upon other congiessmen,” it said. Mr. Peterson signed himself “The old Macaroni Bender.” Campaign In Senate One letter said in part: “There is a Mrs. Marshall here from Colorado Springs. She will go among the congressmen telling them that she is a reporter for the Townsend Weekly and has been deputized to take a poll of the attitude of the congressmen toward the Townsend Plan. We believe that this will be a good way of finding where we stand before putting the heat on congressmen. “Our campaign now begins among the Senators. It begins to look as if Senator Dickinson of lowa will be our leader in that house. It will of course be much harder struggle in the Senate because the gentlemen there are more individualistic in nature and are here for longer terms.” COUPLE IS INJURED AS AUTO HITS POLE Kenneth Cross, Wife in Serious Condition.

LEADER NEEDED, MOSES; VIEW •Strong Man’ Only Necessity of G. 0. P., Declares Former Senator. (Continued From Page One) master political salesmen to put them in the White House and keep them there. Although history, as customarily written, is given to glossing over the importance of political leadership as distance from statesmanship, its ultimate product, no alert reader can miss the significance of the roles played by some American bosses. Matt Quay, of Pennsylvania, was no angel. He may have been, as his enemies charged, a spoilsman of the worst kind. But in 1888 it was he who knew how to oust Cleveland from the White House after one term by making political capital of the country’s real dissatisfaction with Democratic tariff policy. No Boss in Sight Mark Hanna, the Ohio boss, was no new dealer or brain truster but it was he, more than any one else, who led the Republican Party back to power in 1888 after Cleveland had dislodged Harrison, Quay’s candidate, and served his second term. Again in 1920, the political brains of the Republican resurgence was not Harding or any of the Ohio gang but Will Hays, Indianatrained politician. Professional reformers blanch and have the vapors when the names Hanna and Quay are mentioned in their presence. These men, they tell you with eyes cast heavenward, achieved their successes by spending money, filthy money. Os course

they spent money and to good advantage. So has ev.’ry political party that ever won a national election. But it was contributions these leaders spent. It was money voluntarily donated by those who believed in the principles of the party they were leading, not tax dollars wrung from innocent bystanding citizens by an Administration bent upon succeeding itself and considering any means justified by that end. Give us a Quay or a Hanna, preferably a Hanna, and the Republican cause is not lost even at this late day. At the moment, unfortunately, none is in sight. ‘FIREBUG’ BLAMED FOR PANTS STORE BLAZE Flames Put Out Before Much Damage Is Done. Chief Bernard Lynch, of the fire prevention bureau, said today a “fireburg” was responsible for the blaze at the Perfect Pants Cos., 219 S. Illinois-st. The fire was extinguished last night before much damage was done. He said papers had been stuffed beneath a pile of cloth on a counter and fire had been started in two metal boxes. One box contained scraps of cloth and the other excelsior, he said. Isaac Levy, 1029 S. Capitol-av, shop owner, said he left there about 7:45 last night. The fire was discovered by a passerby at 8.

The lights changed then and she joined the throng of men and women hurrying across the street. She was quite unmindful of the fact that more than one person paused to cast speculative glances on the slender girl whose reddishgold curls formed a sunny aureole beneath her tight-fitting little hat.' The pavement on the opposite side of the street w r as in shadow’. As Gail walked along, eagerly scanning the numbers, the brakes of a taxi screeched loudly while a woman at her elbow cried, “My, but that was a narrow shave!” Gail looked around and saw the frightened face of a boy, with the hand of the man who had pulled him back from certain death still clutching his shoulder. The sight startled her. She thought of her father and his tragic end. He had reached New York—she still had the radiogram he had sent her as the ship approached the harbor—but as he taxied to Grand Central to catch the train for Merrywood Hall, where she was waiting for him, there had been an accident. Gail bit her lips. She must not think of that now, nor of the long, dreary days that followed as the awful realization came to her that she was completely alone. At last her bitter grieving was somewhat assuaged and she took up her school work again, only to learn from Lucille Travers, one of her schoolmates, that she was penniless. Gail was stunned when Lucille and her friends taunted her about being a “charity” student. What had happened to ail her father’s money? n tt „ GaiLi reacnea tne tail gray building u’here the silk manufacturing firm occupied three floors. Her heart was beating excitedly ■when she stepped into the elevator. Catching sight of her reflection in a strip of mirror, she tilted her soft blue felt hat more effectively over her sunny hair. The operator sang out, “Twelve!” and Gail entered a magnificent reception room. For a second she wondered if she had made a mistake as her small shoes sank in the deep pile of an oriental rug. She noticed with amazement that the paneled walls were adorned with rare Chinese prints. But as her eyes grew accustomed to the almost exotic atmosphere (softly shaded lamps lent a dim light to the great room from which daylight was utterly shut out) she noticed several men seated around the room. In the center was a glass-topped desk at which a dark-eyed, shrewdlooking young woman was seated. When Gail approached, this young woman looked up, smiling. “Good morning. What can I do for you?” “I’d like to see Mr. Larne —Mr. John S. Larne.” “Did you have an appointment with him?” The girl at the desk started to turn the pages of a book

What did you wish to see him about?” For a moment Gail hesitated. Then she said. “I won his prize for costume design, and Mr. Larne wrote and promised he would help me get a start if I decided to come to New York.” “Oh, how clever of you!” the girl exclaimed, yet Gail felt a note of insincerity in her words. She added. “I’ll see what I can do for you, ’ as she lifted the receiver from its cradle and asked for Mr. Held. Gail watched eagerly. Surely in this magnificent office there must be someone who could help her. She glanced swiftly around the room. That must be someone connected with the firm who was talking to a young man who was closing a portfolio, Gail thought. Then her eyes rested once more on the girl at the information desk. Placing the receiver in its cradle, the girl said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Held is in conference.” She paused for a split second and Gail felt certain that this was not the message she had received over the phone. She quickly added, “Perhaps it would be better if you would wait until Mr. Larne returns.” b b b WHEN will that be?” There was an anxious note in Gail's voice. New York without any one to help her . , . how would she get a start? Then she remembered her prize money. Surely SSOO would last for a long time even if she didn’t get a job right away. She did not know how quickly money goes. “Mr. Larne’s in Florida. He’s not expected back for a couple of weeks. But if you’ll let me have your name and address, I'll give it to his secretary and she will advise you when he can see you.” “Oh, thank you,” Gail answered as the girl handed her a card. Her amber eyes were shadowed as she stepped into the elevator again and she walked along the entrance hall with lagging steps. Outside the building she glanced up and down the avenue. The traffic roared past her. All around were hurrying men and women. Every one going somewhere, every one knowing exactly what he or she was going to do except Gail herself and a tattered old man leaning against the building, glancing mutely from hungry, hopeless eyes at the endless stream of traffic passing by. Gail sauntered toward the curb, still glancing about uncertainly. Then Derek Hargreaves, his portfolio under his arm and his hat perched at its usual jaunty angle, stepped toward her. “Pardon me,” he said, removing his hat, “but didn't I see you in John Larne’s office a few minutes ago?” (To Be Continued)

COUNTY CROPS ARE ADVANCED, ABBOTTCLAIMS Corn Well Up; Canning Outlook Good; Soy Beans Prove Popular. Marion County crops are progressing in a “very satisfactory manner,” Horace E. Abbott, county agricultural agent, reported today. Corn is up in various parts of the county or is being planted rapidly under almost ideal weather, moisture and working conditions, he said. After a delay in planting due to adverse conditions, the recent favorable weather will bring the crop to normal as far as acreage is concerned, Mr. Abbott said. Vegetable crops, particularly canning crops, are in favorable condition, he said, with the pea crop well along. More tomato plants have been set out than in previous years, he added. Farmers have planted a larger soy bean crop this year due to market demands, Mr. Abbott said. The use of the by-products of this bean in industry is increasing year by year, he said, and the farmer is taking advantage of the trend. Ordinarily soy beans are not planted until later. Fruit Outlook Is Drab Wheat looks much better than reports first indicated and the damage in Marion County will not be as great as was first thought—possibly it wall not run more than 10 or 12 per cent, Mr. Abbott stated. The only pessimistic outlook is in the fruit crop which suffered due to the continued severe cold weather during the winter, Mr. Abbott said. After recent trips through the county, he said that he sees no indication of any kind of a peach crop this year and he is now recommending close pruning of all dead wood. Other fruit crops will be small. Damage to berries, however, show no indications of serious loss, he said. FA ITHFUL MOURN DEATH OF MEXICAN PRELATE Archbishop Diaz Admired by Many for Stand on Church Conflict. By United Press MEXICO CITY, May 20.—Archbishop Pascual Diaz, Roman Catholic primate of Mexico, was mourned by millions today as a leader who combined firm resistance to antichurch activities with a sense of diplomacy which prevented the church-state dispute from becoming even more bitter than it was. Archbishop Diaz died at 10:20 o'clock last night of colitis, after an illness of 70 days. His condition had been grave for two weeks and olood transfusions were administered.
