wholehearted support of the Editorial Association. : Mr. Taylor was elected last month by the votes of only 12 state committee members—the majority faction headed by Ralph Gates of Columbia City of which Mr. Taylor is a member. The minority group headed by Ewing Emison of Vincennes declined to vote.
Committee Meeting Promised
Consequently, Mr. Taylor said he will serve only until about Oct. 1, when he said he would call another meeting of the state committee either to affirm his election unanimously or select a new chairman. He added he had not decided when he would call the state committee into session. It is probable that Mr. Taylor will take a thorough canvass of editors’ opinions, call the state committee into session, lay his findings before the members and have a showdown on whether the committee will be‘come harmonious with the selection of a new chairman or ignore the editors. - Walter Crim, Editorial Association president, recently said Mr. Taylor was not acceptable as chairman because of his factionalism. If the editors are able to carry their point of a new state chairman not identified with either. faction on the committee, Mr. Taylor’s successor may be chosen at the editors’ meeting today. The editors realize also that with a split in the state Democratic ranks in Governor Townsend's decision to deny renomination to Sengator Van Nuys and the national dis= -sension over Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black's alleged Ku-Klux Klan membership, there is an unusual opportunity to capture a Senate seat next year.

attaches to his visit was made clear from the retinue he selected to accompany him—Count Galeazzo Ciano, his son-in-law and foreign minister; Achille Starace, secretary general of the Fascist Party; Dino Alfieri, minister of press and propaganda (called now minister of popular culture), and his private secretary, Osvaldo Sebastiani. Berlin has been lavishly decorated and there are to be triumphal processions and a great military parade.
Far East Parley Hinges on U. S.
GENEVA, Sept. 24 (U.P.).—Convocation of a Far Eastern conference to deal with the ChineseJapanese crisis appeared today to hinge upon the attitude of the
United States. Great Britain, France and Australia advocated such a conference and Russia hinted, unexpectedly she would not oppose it. Even China, who at first feared that the proposed conference was designed to sidetrack her appeal to the League of Nations, indicated she might accept it under certain conditions.
DISPUTE AT BAKERY ENDED BY PACTS
The State Department of Labor today signed contracts with the Century Biscuit Co., 630 W. New York St.. and the United Bakery Workers, a C.'I. O. affiliate, settling a dispute that caused a threc-day strike which began Aug. 14.

hid it. His life’s ambition was to write such a masterpiece and the fact that it was not accepted in his lifetime probably contributed to his moroseness and death in a mad house. : Hans Strecker, music publisher who located and obtained access to the concerto in Germany, sent the following message to Menuhin: “German Government decided today world premiere performance of Schumann concerto can only take place at official anniversary Reichskulturkammer Berlin Nov. 13. All previously announced first performances everywhere with piano accompaniment must be postponed to Nov. 14.”
Complies With Request
Whether intentional or by coincidence, the Germans had chosen the day following Menuhin’s scheduled premiere in St. Louis. The German presentation will be at a ‘culture festival.” The authority of the German publisher or German Government to prevent an earlier presentation in this country might be disputed, because Menuhin already has a copy of the manusript, but he said he
request. He did not want to involve the masterpiece in any further legal difficulties. Already it had been necessary to secure the permission of Schumann’s heirs to break the composer’s will. Schumann had directed that the concerto not be played in public until. Joseph Joachim, the violinist, had been dead for 50 years. Joachim died in 1907. It was because Joachim refused to play the concerto that Schumann hid it. Joachim was the greatest master of the violin in the late 19th century, and he was fond of the composer. He knew of Schumann’s great ambition to write a violin concerto, and after examining this one, he believed it was not worthy of the genius. Rather than discourage Schumann, Joachim rejected it. 4 Schumann provided for the disposition of it in his will, which was made before his quaint obsessions caused him to be placed in an asylum where he died.

joyed. His father, Moshe Menuhin, said: “Yehudi mastered it in a few days. He wept for joy to find that his faith in Schumann’s sanity had been vindicated.” The work, written in Schumann’s later days, was of such expressive beauty that it proved the composer was of sound mind, Yehudi said. “The work is filled with sadness #nd mystery and does not lend itself to vitality and vigor. It ischaracterized by slow meditation. But what delights me is the spontaneity of the romantic and lyrical concerto. I have found in it themes which tell me that it was studied by Brahms and became a basis for his great concerto.”
Tour to Start Oct. 2
Menuhin is scheduled to start a concert tour from here Oct. 2. There are 73 concerts booked and he planned to present the concerto several times, beginning with the St. Louis premiere. Yehudi’s father wrote Arthur Gaines, manager of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, that presentation of the concerto must be postponed. J The elder Menuhin protested that it was the third time Yehudi had postponed the performance on instructions from Germany. Previously he had planned premieres Oct. 3, then Oct. 16. Moshe Menuhin said: “It is a fight for the honor of first performing it in Germany, that one postponement after another is forced upon Yehudi, who was the first to tell them in Germany that they have done an injustice to one of their greatest composers for the last 80 years. Now that it has been
WORK CENSUS
T0 BE SHAPED AT CONCLAVE
John D. Biggers Summons Meeting for Monday at White House.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (U. P.). —John D. Biggers, administrator of the unemployment census, today called a conference at the White House on Monday to formulate tentative plans for the first unemployment census ever conducted in the United States. - Mr. Biggers said he acted with the approval of President Roosevelt, Included among those invited to the meeting at 2 p. m. Monday were John L. Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organization; William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor;
George H. Davis, president of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce; W. Averill Harriman, chairman of the Commerce Department’s Business Advisory Council, and leaders of farm and co-operative groups.
Census to End by Dec. 1
Mr. Biggers, appointed by the President to conduct the enumeration in accordance with a Congressional resolution, announced it would be completed before Dec. 1. He said that registration blanks in the form of postcards would be distributed to every household in the United States, numbering approximately 31,000,000. The objective of the census .will be to determine the. total number of employable and unemployable
jobless as well as those partly em-
ployed. Mr. Biggers said persons receiving work relief would be considered unemployed.

“I'm Glad to Be Here”
“The agriculture people of this area will realize their connection with the industrial workers of the East, and the people in the factories and on the cotton farms of the South know that their prosperity is dependent on your prosperity. “So, my friends, I am glad to be here on this annual trip and I hope and expect to come out again during the next four years.” Senator O'Mahoney did not stand on the platform with the President. He was with the crowd, and stood almost at the feet of the President. The crowd constantly looked back and forth from the President to the Senator. Governor Miller of Wyoming ‘introduced Mr. Roosevelt, and remained on the platform with Governor Ammons of Colorado. Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanying the President, greeted Senator O’Mahoney earlier, and chatted with him about the condition of Mrs. O’Mahoney, who is ill. She said: “Give her my love. You must excuse me now, your climate calls for a coat.” 2 The First Lady was not dressed for Wyoming weather and she was Shivering as she talked to the Senator. :
Court Battle Not Issue In. West, President Told
By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer ABOARD PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S TRAIN, Sept. 24.—President Roosevelt's role in the Western farm country, among a majority of the rank and file, still seems to be that of personal economic deliverer, restorer of prosperity. As regards issues currently emphasized in the East, the story out here as pieced together from reports of Democratic politicians and the ordinary citizen interviewed at train stops, which may be subject to change with more evidence and
as Mr. Roosevelt moves further West, is about as follows: . The Court “packing” issue has excited little intense interest, either one. way or the other, among the rank and file. : The Justice Hugo Black-Ku-Klux Klan episode likewise seems to have made little imprint politically in the farm country, though Republicans are beginning to make use of it. It has, however, apparently disturbed Democratic leaders in Chicago which seems to portend that it might mean something in the big industrial cities with large segments of Jews, Catholics, foreign-born and Negroes. These elements are sparse in the farm country. ; The fear evident among substantial business groups over the mount-
ing Federal debt and the prospects

expects the Congressional elections next year to result in heavy gains ‘tor the party. “The letters I have received show that there is great dissatisfaction with the Administration’s program,” he said in reference to the possibility of a coalition with anti-Roose-velt Democrats. “This is especially true in the South. “If the President goes ahead with his indicated program these dissatisfied elements will split off. If on the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt fails to go ahead with his program, he will lose the support of that element which now is backing his plans and he will lose his hopes of regaining control over Congress. Once Congress sees that he has been forced to turn back the President will never be able to regain command.”
Declines Coalition Comment
Mr. Landon declined to comment on the possibility of a coalition with conservative Democrats in the 1940 campaign, remarking that developments would have to guide the leadership’s attitude toward such problems. But his desire for progressive and liberal leadership in the Republican Party—which would -attract Democrats opposed to the Roosevelt policies—remains firm.
He recognizes both the difficulties of changing the Republican name and the obstacles to attracting southern Democratic support under the old label, but believes that the time has not yet come for such decisions. Friends of Mr. Landon, cognizant of the criticism directed at conduct of his presidential campaign, believe that the campaign helped lay the groundwork for defeat of President Roosevelt’s Court program in the last session of Congress. On that point the former Governor was silent but he does believe the campaign made it clear that the issue had not been put up to the people. “By repeatedly manding that Mr. Roosevelt state’ whether he intended to interfére with the Supreme Court—and getting only silence on his part and indignant denials from his supporters—we made it clear and unquestionable that he was not seeking a mandate from the people to change the Court,” Mr. Landon said. :
to have seeped down to the ordinary small citizen and farmer. Washington, to the ordinary citizen in this part of the country, is the place that provides the cash. In the exceptional case this year where crops have been adversely affected, as by the August drought in Nebraska, the whole concern of the farmers is for relief from Washington, and that is the principal reason that Governor Cochran of that state boarded the President’s train at Chicago with his hand out. Likewise Mayor Edward J. Kelly of Chicago got the President's ear
relief money will run out Nov, 1. He had his hand out, too. President Roosevelt in his rear-
platform talks is capitalizing on his role as benefactor.
