COMMITTEE | Names Executive Group Which | Will Fill Vacancies Caused by Opposition \IS GAME OF “TIT-FOR-TAT’ |Nonpartisan Group Is Recog- nized by Republican Na- tional Headquarters (By KENNETH W. SIMONS) Just to keep up the interest in things political, Nonpartisans and In- dependents are about to engage in a little game of “tit for tat” with re- gard to the Republican state central committee, This was made evident by the an- nouncement today by Thorstein H. Thoresen, chairman of the Nonparti- san wing of the Republican state cen- tral committee, that he had appoint- ed a Republican state executive com+ mittee and that the committee, in its turn, would fill vacancies caused by refusal of I. V. A. Republican mem- bers to serve with their Nonpartisan brethren. Members of the executive commit- tee, announced today, were appointed two from each district and one at large. ‘Thoresen will serve as ex- officio chairman. ‘The members are: First district— Judge H. A. Bronson, Grand Forks, and Mayor A. T. Lynner, Fargo. Second district—O. E. Erickson, Tappen, and H. M. Hendrickson, Sim- coe, McHenry county. Third district—Elwood Eck. Bucy- rus, and I. Sanford, Watford City. At large—E. G. Larson, Valley City. In the instant case, the central committee game was started by the Independents, when their minority faction met kr-dligpe id Lean agi According to custom, they re- fused to. recognize the Nonpartisan majority and decided to fill by ap- pointment the vacancies in districts where Nonpartisans were elected on the ground that the Nonpartisans did not really stand for Republican prin- ciples. The Nonpartisans have controlled the Republican party machinery in the state for several years, but never before have they retaliated in kind, being content to get along with their regularly-elected membership. But this year it is different. T. H. ‘Thoresen, as state chairman, says he intends to apply the “sauce for the goose—sauce for the gander” theory and that appointments will be made to fill up the committee. Incidentally, he said, the Nonpar- tisan or majority faction of the com- mittee has been recognized by nation- al G. O. P. headquarters at Washing- ton. Robert H. Lucas, national vice itched |chairman, has included Thoresen in its vote to Jewell and Illinois followed.

In hopes‘of preventing any further tragedies such as o€curred when a racing navy plane fell near hundreds of spectators, County Coroner Her- man Bundesen ordered two large {blocks of bleachers either torn down or left unoccupied. The Bleachers are near the pylon where racing planes sw::.3 around the field, and not far from where the navy plane fell yesterday, killing the pilot, Lieut. J. P. Deshazo, and Louis Weiner, a race concessionaire. The coroner also decreed that racers must finish their dashes in normal Position, instead of zooming up over the bleachers in sharp turns back to the landing field. His third stipulation was that no planes may fly at a low altitude over the crowds. Stunt fliers, including the foreign aces who have thrilled crowds daily with their exhibitions, were ordered to stay over the landing field here- after. A committee of navy pilots investi- gated the crash of Lieut. Deshazo’s plane. It barely missed bleachers filled with spectators, and some of Deshazo’s {brother pilots believe he deliberately |maneuvered his ship to bring about his own death rather than have his Plane drop among onlookers, Seven Persons were injured by flying parts and burning oil, but none of them was believed seriously hurt.

President Hoover Won’t Make Recess | Washington, Aug. 28—(?)—Presi- dent Hoover is adhering as closely as exigencies permit to a quietly adopted policy of keeping recess appointments at a minimum. | The chief executive has taken the view that unless situations require immediate filling of federal posts to carry on the proper functions of the government, appointments should be deferred until congress is in session. From authoritative sources it was ascertained that Mr. Hoover reached this conclusion, out of consideration to both the senate and his prospective appointees. Wherever possible, the president desires the senate to have opportunity to consider his nominees before they take office. He is understood also to feel that should that legislative branch decline to approve recess ap- Pointees. it would work hardships on the person involved and the govern- ment branches affected. Appointments Unless It Is Necessary In line with this policy. he has de- ferred until December appointment of five members to the independent fed- eral power commission authorized by congress to replace that comopsed of the secretaries of war, interior and agriculture. In addition, he has postponed mak- ing appointments to fill vacancies in the federal courts wherever court business is not pressing. Whenever necessary, however, the chief executive has not hesitated to name recess appointees, particularly to diplomatic posts and to other posi- tions where government business and relations would be enhanced by hav- ing them filled. In the meantime, Mr. Hoover is studying applicants for vacant posi- tions and is understood to have chosen several. te complete the personnel of the Gt iff commiseion. month ago.

The ditch, about 10 feet deep, had been dug by men who were preparing to lay a sewer but who had tempora- rily left the scene. In their absence, three children, Al- bert Mahiman, 9, son of Mrs. Henry Mahiman, 816 Mandan street; Russell Krogstead, 7, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krogstead, 216 Avenue D; and William Biggs, Jr., 3, son of Mr. and Mrs, William Biggs, living near Bald- win, were playing in the ditch. Leo Barth; Jr., 3, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Barth, Mandan, was stand- ing on top of a pile of dirt near the ditch when the side of the excavation caved in, covering the three children below. The Biggs and Barth boys were vis- iting their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Eliason, 218 Avenue D, and little Leo Barth rushed home and told his grandmother that “Billy has been killed in the ditch.” Mrs. Eliason hurried to the scene and was almost frantic when she saw what had happened. Ben Delzer, living nearby, came to the scene and heard one of the small- er children whimpering. He dg away the dirt with his hands to pull out the Biggs boy and then saw a foot of the Krogstead boy and rescued him also. The Mahiman boy was nowhere in sight when Max Nesbit, 2282 Avenue D, arrived with a shovel. Nesbit estimated that he moved between a ton and a half and two tons “f dirt: beSere he came to the Mahiman boy, who was sitting in an upright position. There was approxi- mately three feet of dirt above the boy's head, Nesbit said. In his haste Nesbit hit the lad in the face with the shovel as he dug down toward him. Nesbit said the boy was almost suffo- | cated and had turned blue because of lack of air.
