They want to start a veterans’ organization of their own. Mote Spoke April 22 A leader of Smith's other outfit, Committee of World War II, is Frederick Kister of Chicago.

cago, April 22, 1045, Were Smith and Mote. = The big bait which Smith tosses out to veterans is a proposal to get them each at least $1000 for a year or more of service. Reynolds’ Nationalist party also has a veterans’ program which is phrased in less specific terms, such as “rehabilitation and education.” Everybody's trying to get into the act. Even Joe McWilliams, known as “Joe McNazi,” has published a “Veterans' Reconstruction Plan,” in which he proposes gifts of $7800 for servicemen. Line Up Small Business

While McWilliams, J. Victor Malone and other solicitors of funds for - Reynolds’ party are trying to win the support of big industrialists, as Malone did in Indianapolis, various affiliated groups of -Nationalists are lining up small business. In San ‘Antonio, Tex. is Fight for Free Enterprise, an organization sponsored by Joseph E. Kamp, pamphleteer and collaborator of Gerald L. K. Smith. Head of the outfit is William ‘Walker and it aims to influence small businessmen against union labor, against the national administration and for isolationism. Another organization in the same field is the Christian American association of Houston, Tex.” It is

HOT-FOOT TRIAL

Judge Sentences Him to Life Imprisonment.

william J. Eiffe today faced life imprisonment for killing Clifford

L. Gose, whom he accused of giving:

him a “hot foot” in a tavern. After deliberating more than

three hours and casting eight bal-|!

lots, the jury of 10 women and two men last night returned their verdict of second-degree murder. Judge William D. Bain immediately imposed the sentence, to be carried out in the Indiana State prison at Michigan City... . = Eiffe stood silent and composed as the jury foreman, Robert G. Barnhill, 2411 Southeastern ave., read the verdict.. Nothing .to Say When Judge Bain asked, “Do you have anything to say before I pronounce sentence?” he said nothing. Judge Bain told defense attorney Edward D. Lewis that he would have 30 days in which to file a motion for a new trial, but the lawyer did not state whether such action would be taken. Eiffe, who .is 52, was accused of having shot the 32-year-old: truck’ driver, Gose, in a tavern at 25 S. West st. on Nov. 25, after having been given the “hot foot” by unidentified persons while he was sleeping in a booth.

Five Possible Verdicts

Leaving the tavern after he re-| | ceived the “hot foot,” Eiffe, accord-| ling to testimony, then returned carrying the revolver with which Gase was shot. Any of five other verdicts could have been brought in by the jurors: first degree murder with the deatb penalty; first degree murder, with a life sentence; manslaughter, with a 2-to-21-year sentence; not guilty, or verdict that Eiffe was of un{sound mind. A plea for the latter had been filed by the defense.
