WASHINGTON, June 10. —(P—
Tackling one of the last barriers to
adjournment of the 74th Congress,
conferees prepared today to seek a
compromise on the strife-torn tax
bin.
There were indications from re-
liable sources that the House pro-
visions of the measure might pre-
dominate when the conferees final-
ly submit a bill to the House and
Senate for final action.
It was understood in some quar-
ters that the administration's insis-
tence for high levies on undistrib-
uted corporate profits as outlined
in the House provisions would be
accepted in part, at least, in place
of the law flat tax provided in the
bill as It passed the Senate
Briefly the chief point of differ-
ence as the conferees gathered for
their first meeting was this:
The House stands back of a grad-
uated tax on undistributed corpor-
ennial ertetee-
of conveyances.

Invite Hoover to

CLEVELAND, June 10—(— An
invitation to Herbert Hoover to
visit Texas next August for a
"birthday party" and to address the
state convention In Ban Antonio
was issued today by leaders of the
Texas Republican convention dele-
gation.
Through Lawrence Richey. Hoo-
ver's secretary, they suggested that
the former president spend Aug.

CLEVELAND, June 10.—(—
The platform upon which the
Republican party leaders hope
to defeat Franklin D. Roosevelt
was being whipped into shape
today by a committee headed
by one of the president's school-
mates—Herman M Langworthy
of Kansas City.
Langworthy, chosen yesterday
to head the resolutions commit-
tee at the Republican National
Convention, studied law at Co-
lumbia University, New York,
at the same time Roosevelt was
a student there.

Orange said the state was ready with
five psychiatrists as rebuttal wit-
nesses Kinard said the state had
about 50 other witnesses under sum-
mons but the prosecution "did not
plan to burden the court with their
testimony."
In direct testimony the state con-
tended Eskridge, pastor of the First
Baptist Church at Orange for five
years, planned the slaying after
officers disarmed him. Witnesses
said O'Remy took a pistol from
the two-gun preacher a day, be-
fore the slaying. The state rested

Relying on a plea of temporary
insanity, coupled with the claim

Eskridge was insane. T

"I never saw my dog so sad and

when he learned that the Centen-
nial trippers, headed by Qovernor
Allred, had started on the return
trip to Texas, went to the station.
He sat there for days after the train
had gotten back to Texas in the
belief that he was going to greet
the trippers in Sanger on their ar-
rival, and he was certainly a sick
and sad animal when he really gave
up hope. He has about recovered,
however, and has started fishing
again for me. A few days ago, he
brought in one of the finest strings
of bass and perch that I ever saw
and this coming Friday I expect
him to bring in another mess and

CONVENTION HALL,
CLEVELAND, June 10.—
(AP)—The Republican con-
vention completed its organi-
zation today in a two-hour
session and then, _ with its
platform committee still
deadlocked, adjourned until
tonight,
Prospects for action on the plat-
form tonight faded when it be-
came apparent that differences in
the committee were taking more
time than had been expected.
Consequentiy, tonight’s session
probably will be devoted chiefly to
speech-making, with Herbert Hoo-
ver as headliner. The former presi-
dent arrived this morning amid
cheering crowds and spent the day
in conference.
More conferences were going on
between the controlling forces of
Governor Alf M Landon of Kan-
sas and friends of Senator Borah
of Idaho, in an attempt to pre-
vent an open break on the mone-
tary, monopoly and foreign rela-
tions.

e
CLEVELAND, June 10—UP-* A
farm plank sufficiently attractive
financially to offset monetary ad-
vantages of "New Deal” policies
was urged upon Republican plat-
form builders today as they wrestled
with the party's agricultural pro-
gram.
The lead was taken by some west-
ern states delegates. They disclaim-
ed any attempt to "out deal the
New Deal," but Insisted that if the
Republicans hoped to win support
of the rural population in the presi-
dential election they would have to
match every aid offered by the
present administration
Suggestions to the committee em-
braced a tariff-equivalent subsidy
plan plus soil conservation pay-
ments unofficially estimated to
place *400.000.000 annually in
farmers pockets.
In a surprise move western dele-
gates deadlocked an informal con-
ference until eastern delegates at-
tending agreed to back a suggestion
for state control of agricultural pro-
duction and distribution through a
"little AAA" program.
The agreement, which has yet to
be acted upon by the platform
committee itself, is a compromise
between those who advocated na-
tional control and those who oppos-
ed even the Inferred regulation of
land use through operation of the
present roll conservation act. It was
reached after a hasty meeting with
Senator Capper (R-Kas) and Rep.
Hope (R-Kas). These legislators,
friends of Governor Alf Landon of
Kansas, declined to predict the plat-
form committee’s attitude toward
the battle-scarred philosophy of
ond day of business with former
Governor James A Noe and Mayor
Sam Caldwell delivering address of
welcome
The meeting was presided over by
General Rene Lee commander-in-
chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, who responded to the wel-
comes extended. ,
After the morning business ses-
sion at the various sections of the
reunion the veterans will be en-
tertained throughout the day by
the United States Marine band, the
Louisiana State University band and
with a busy day of garden parties
Activities will be climaxed by a
grand ball at the General Kirby

vention representation of the Dis-
trict of Columbia. Alaska and Ha-

two hours in the warm auditorium,
shouted “No." The gavel fell, and
all was over until evening.
Mind on Caucuses
Thoughts of many delegates evi-
dently were elsewhere. Impending
state caucuses which could clinch
the nomination for Governor Alf
M Landon on the first ballot had
the first call on the attention of
many. Fifty of the 75 Pennsylvania
votes were put beneath the sun-
fower for Landon today. John M
Hamilton was looking for more
from New York’s 90 then even the
42 he claimed, and potentials rivals
of the Kansan were frankly skep-
tical that the opposition votes could
be held in line
The platform committe had an
all-afternoon job, but the great ma-
jority of the delegates were free—
once the third session adjourned—
until the time to gather tonight to
hear former President Herbert Hoo-
ver. Friends said he“had a “devas-
tating" speech against the Roose-
velt administration, but would seek
nothing for himself.

PARIS, June 10—-(— A possible

week today.
The Radical Socialist organ. Ere

against the government's measure
to shorten labor's hours

DALLAS, June 10—OP)—Chain
store operators continued their ef-

They alleged the tax was discrim-

and “calculated to crush

The bill provides a fine of from

that each day's failure shall con-
stitute a separate offense.
