G. 0. P. CHARGES RELIEF FRAUD IN EARLE'S SETUP

Presentation of Evidence to Grand Jury to Begin Next Week.

(Copyrigl 1 bv United Press) HARRISBURG, Pa, May 6 (U P.) —Pennsylvania Republicans are now hoping to blast the State Dem atic administration and jolt the Roosevelt New Deal from coast to coast by prosecution of corruption charges in this city. The prosecutor Carl Shelley, 44-year-old small lawyer, past exalted ruler of the local Elks. past commander of ihe local American Legion and new District Attorney of Dauphin County. He is today the Republican white hope of Pennsylvania—and perhaps of the nation. ini “Opportunity of a lifetime is what Mr. Shelley's friends and asso-

See Party's Downfall

Off the record Republicans will tell you they think the investiga{tion will break the Democratic | Party in this state. “I don’t want to say a thing about it,” Mr. Green told me. The Democrats are punching themselves { on the nose now. I don’t want to | divert them. They might begin to | punch at us instead of at each other.” This investigation beginning May 11 probably will not have much effect on the May 17 primary. There scarcely will be time, even if evi- | dence were available to prove some | or all of the charges. But District | Attorney Shelley is settling in the trenches for the summer. His grand jury will be authorized to indict until Sept

enough he is prepared to go into the autumn. : It is in the general election campaign that the proceedings will have political repercussions, if at all. Accompanying the official “kickback” charges against officers of the state or of the Pennsylvania party organization are hints here and there that some of these political funds found the way to the Democratic National Committee treasury in Washington. Some observers are wondering whether the Republicans do not see in the Dauphin County grand jury and rotund District Attorney Shelley potential miracle workers to turn the New Deal tide, not only in the state, but in the nation.

Pennsylvania Democratic politics is scrambled. Mr. Lawrence, who figured in the grand jury petition, supports Gover=nor Eearle for Democratic senatorial nomination and Charles Alvin Jones, Pittsburgh lawyer, for Governor. Senator Guffey, once Mr. Lawrence's political pal and the boss of New Deal Federal patronage in the state, bolted the Earle-Jones ticket to join Chairman John L. Lewis of the Committee for Industrial Organization. Their candidates are: For Senator, Mayor S. Davis Wilson, of Philadelphia; for Governor, Thomas Kennedy, present Lieu= tenant Governor and active secre-tary-treasurer of Mr. Lewis’ United Mine Workers of America. Both Democratic slates loudly | proclaim loyalty to Mr. Roosevelt | and the national New Deal administration. Before the primary uproar which disrupted the state organiza-

ST. BERNARD DOGS GIVEN NEW CHANCE

MARSEILLES, France, May 6 (U. P.)—Twenty St. Bernard dogs, outlawed from the Swiss Alps a year ago after one killed a child, have been taken to a French mission in the Himalaya Mountains of Asia, it was learned today. Brother Cyrille, a St. Bernard monk, convinced that the child's death had been an accident not attributable to the character of the dogs, obtained permission to take them to the Himalayas where they again will be emploved in their traditional life-saving tasks.

DAYLIGHT SAVING AT HANOVER COLLEGE

the remainder of the school year.|:

The city, however, will remain an hour behind time.
