6 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1981 RESIGNATION OF _RASKOB ASKED BY WOMEN LEADERS Charge That Party Must Re- main Dry; Make Attack on Tammany Influences Washington, April 13.—(7)—A de- mand for the resignation of Chair- man Raskob of the Democratic na- tional committee was made Monday by Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson, chair- man of the National Woman’s Demo- cratic law enforcement league. In her keynote address before the biennial convention of the league, Mrs. Nicholson asserted a drive would be made to have organized Democra- tic women desert the party unless a new leader were chosen. Officials of the Women's Demo- cratic League planned to go to the white house shortly after Mrs. Nichol- son’s address for an interview with President Hoover. The attack against Raskob was initiated shortly after the meeting convened by Dr. Jennie M. Callfas, Omaha, who resigned as a Democra- tic national committeewoman in 1928 in protest of the nomination of Gov- ernor Smith. ‘Not True Democrat’ “Mr, Raskob is not a true Demo- crat,” Dr. Callfas said, “and anyone. Mr. Raskob endorses for the presi- dency of these United States, the dry elements of the party will oppose.” Mrs. Nicholson said the Democratic women's league had “organized a following without a penny’s expense io the Democratic party leadership, and we are here to offer the services . gratuitously . to our party on certain conditions.” “We demand the resignation of the National Democratic Chairman John J. Raskob; that a competent leader may be appointed that can unite all factions in the party,” she said. “We cannot and we will not sup- port a candidate offered us by Tam- many leadership.” C Mrs. Nicholson was interrupted several times by applause. The women cheered particularly a statement that “we want to support a Democratic candidate for president —but it can only be done on the basis we suggest.” She added that for the Democratic party “to become the liquor party, would tend to divide rather than unite same.” Pleads For Dryness Catherine Waugh McCulloch, a Chicago lawyer, asserted the Demo- cratic party must remain dry if it hopes for success in 1932. “If the National Democratic party wishes to deserve success,” she said, “it ‘must again declare valiantly its loyalty to the 18th amendment and show that loyalty by nominating presidential and vice presidential candidates who are unequivocally dry. “Many dry Democrats are longing to return to their party in the next presidential election.” Miss Estir Dupre, Louisiana, was applauded when she asserted that “if the Democratic party which was to propagate democracy and liberty, and if any man nominated on that party is proposing any modification (of prohibition) whatever, we will not fix the present law, but be assured we will fix them.” Pantages, Others Called for Hearing San Diego, Cal., April 13—(7)— Alexander Pantages, wealthy theater operator, and four other persons were summoned to court here Monday for preliminary hearing on charges of participating in a “love bazaar” in- volving girls of high school age. The co-defendants were John P. Mills, wealthy Los Angeles real estate dealer; Jesse Shreve, San Diego busi- ness man; William Jobelmann, for- mer publicity man for Pantages, and Miss Olive Clark Day, Jobelmann’s common law wife. A battery of expert criminal attor- neys was retained to defend them against the accusations of Lydia Nitto, alias Alice Blake, 16, and Helen Liv- ingston, 17. N. Y. Banker Sees | Her Marriage Lasted 33 Days | ‘The romance of Betty Compton, above, Broadway stage star, and Edward D. Dowling, film dialogue director, came to a quick end in the divorce court at Cuernavaca, Mexico. Married only 33 days, the comely dancer obtained a decree on grounds of cruelty, personal violence and failure to provide main- tenance. They were married in New York Feb. 16.

Several song- sparrows, the first redwing blackbirds and one mourning dove were noted last year on April 6. The mourning dove, of course, was early. The song sparrows had not appeared by that date this year. Last year the first flowers of silver maple opened April 4, and the very first dandelions (over a steam- pipe) were out on April 5. This year the dates for these flowers were April | 6 and April 4, respectively. The writ-| er’s average date for the maple over | @ period of years is April 10. Such comparisons may be quite mis- leading for the following reason. The first flowers may burst forth on an unusually warm day like April 6, when the temperature reached 69 degrees, the first time this year that it has been as high as 60 degrees, If the weather then turns colder, no ad- vance may be made for several days. If this change had taken place one day sooner, the opening of the: first flowers might not have occurred un- til a week later. In the same way a difference of several days in the time of seeing the first robin may be due to the fact that a change in weather occurred at a slightly different stage of migration. The relation of weather to bird migration has been much studied and discussed. The birds ar- rive quite regularly at about certain dates each year. The seasonal changes of weather reach certain stages with similar regularity. Thus there is an evident correspondence of these two natural phenomena. We find consid- erable difference of opinion, however, with respect to the effects of wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure, usual for two weeks. N. D.

GODDARD OUTLINES ASSOCIATION WORK Tells of Achievements of Com- mercial Organization in Talk to Lions’ Club Ways in which the Bismarck As- sociation of Commerce has served the city in vecent years were outlined by H. P. Goddard, secretary of the organ- ization, in an address to the Lions club Monday noon. ~ Among the things advantageous to Bismarck which the organization has initiated or sponsored or in which it has taken part, Goddard said, were the construction of the community building, the launching of county agent work, organization of the com- munity chest and construction of the courthouse, the speaker . Commenting on the need for more industries in order to give Bismarck balanced development, Goddard said @ committee of the association has been constantly at work in an effort to achieve this end. For a number of reasons, he said, it is inadvisable to publish to the world everything which has been done or which may be done in the future, He assured the clubmen, however, that the develop- ment of Bismarck in an industrial way is one of the leading aims of the local organization. Tremendous possibilities are offered by the development of coal, clay and other resources in southwestern North Dakota, he said, and if this occurs Bismarck will share in the prosperity which new industries will bring to that section. Emphasizing the desire of Bismarck to establish and maintain friendly relations, not only with all individuals in its trade area but with neighboring cities and towns as well, Goddard said this work will be given increasing at- tention. Better roads are a neces- sary part of this movement, he said. Endorsing the “clean-up” campaign, sponsored annually by the Lions club, Goddard asked support for the Bis- marck Yard and Garden club, as- serting that it has done much to in- crease interest in beautifying the city. Its members, by their example, have helped toward realizing the ambition of making Bismarck the most beauti- ful city in the state, he asserted. Jack McLachlan, chairman of the “clean-up” campaign committee, re- ported that the annual observance will be held this year between April 25 ; and May 2. Plans for the campaign have not been fully worked out but arrangements have been made for the Boy Scouts to assist by making inspec- tions. By setting back the time of the campaign, McLachlan said, it is ex- pected that most of the clean-up work will have been completed and there will be little for the committee to do except check on the results accom- plished. The Worlitz brothers gave several musical selections on the ukelele and |steel guitar. O. M. Heath, McHenry, was a guest.
