Hurley, secretary of war, told the Republican state convention Mon- day President Hoover “has pointed the way to stabilization” of worldwide economic conditions. The secretary, whose home town is ‘Tulsa, Okla., was giving the keynote address. “The president has pointed the way to stabilization,” said the World war veteran, “In Europe he led the way for an international moratorium to prevent the collapse of one great na- tion and to supply credit to others. In the Orient, the parties of the nine- power treaty and the pact of Paris and the League of Nations have fol- lowed his policies and acknowledged his leadership. At home, he submitted @ program for economic reconstruc- tion that largely has been enacted in to law by a house of representatives controlled by his political opponents.” Hurley said he was disappointed that Speaker John Garner, Demo- crat, Texas, “had attempted to make @ political issue” out of the presi- dent's suggestion that bureaus be con- solidated and governmental expenses curtailed. Every item of the president's pro- gram, declared Hurley, “is aimed at improving the lot of the little fel- low.” Wahpeton Boy Killed When Struck by Bat Wahpeton, N.

INSANITY PLEA OF NAVAL OFFICER 70 FACE LAST ATTACK Alienist Prepares to Tear Down Massie Story of Killing at Honolulu i Honoluiu, April 25—(?}—The in- Sanity plea of Lieut. Thomas H. Mas- sie, on trial with three others for the slaying of a native, faced a final at- tack Monday by another expert in the workings of the human mind. To the testimony of two physicians that Massie was not insane when he slew Joseph Kahahawai, whom he was convinced criminally attacked Mrs. Massie, the prosecution was pre- Pared to add the testimony of a third —Dr. Joseph Catton, Stanford uni- versity psychiatrist. Dr. Catton was to take the witness {stand to again stress to the jury of mixed racial origin the prosecution's contention that the Hawaiian was slain by a sane man, killing with re- venge in his heart. The defense con- tends the United States naval officer became temporarily insane while try- ing to obtain a confession that would restore his wife's good name. Dr. Catton is the last witness by which public prosecutor John C. Kel- ley hopes to send Massie, his society matron mother-in-law, Mrs. Gran- ville Fortescue, and two navy enlisted men, Albert O. Jones and E. J. Lord, to prison. The psychiatrist was brought here from the mainland last week and court was adjourned Saturday to per- mit him to complete his study of the case. ‘With the defense resting upon Mas- sie's plea of temporary insanity, Kel- ley has concentrated upon trying to convince the jury he was not insane, for, under Hawaiian law. if Massie is innocent by reason of insanity, then all of the defendants are innocent.

DENY GOVERNMENT DOUBLE - CROSSED {Two Departments Claim They Never Agreed to Sale of Grape Concentrate Washington, April 25.—()—Organ- ized anti-prohibitionists in congress Monday looked with considerable Skepticism on the proposal by Donald D. Conn, director of the California Vineyardists’ association, that the 18th amendment be modified to per- mit sale of naturally fermented bev- erages. Meanwhile, Secretary Hyde and the Office of Attorney General Mitchell denied a statement by Conn that Fruit Industries, Ltd., “had its gene- sis as a result of conferences between the department of justice, the treas- ury and the department of agriculture Chairman Stone said the farm board did not “loan a venny” to fruit industries “until it had been assured by the department of justice, the treasury and the prohibition bureau that the grape concentrate business of that company was perfectly legal.” A statement by the department o: Justice said it “was never >onsulted and did not participate in any con- ference concerning the marketing of grape concentrates for making wine in the home.” Conn said the government “from the beginning has been a party to the increased volume of wine-grape pro- duetion.” Conn also said the government re- versed its policy after 12 years of co- operation to “betray” the grape grow- ers. Amos W. W. Woodcock, prohibi- tion director, and C. Aaron Young- quist, assistant attorney’ general in charge of prohibition, had no com- ment. Conn assailed the prohibition bu- reau for accepting as its policy a de- cision by Federal Judge Otis of Kan- sas City last October 16 which held the sale of unfermented grape con- centrate designed for the manufac- ture of alcoholic beverages to be in violation of the national prohibition laws.

HISS WAR VETERAN WHO RAPS PAYMENT OF BONUS IN CASH Baltimore Man Says Legisla- tion Designed to Favor Only One Class Washington, April 25.—(4)—A war veteran, Fred C. Reynolds of Balti- jmore, was loudly hissed by fellow |veterans Monday when he opposed the cash bonus payment before the house ways and means committee. One cry of “Throw him out” was heard. Reynolds said he represented a jgroup of veterans opposed to full |payment. “We feel this bill to be class legis- jlation which endangers the financial \stability of the government,” he said, referring to the Patman bill to ex- pand the currency by two billion dol- ‘lars to pay the remainder outstand- ing on the bonus certificates. “We want you to know that there are some veterans who consider this appeal unpatriotic.” Represetative Rainey of Illinois, the Democratic leader, who was presid: ing, warned as the hisses rang out, that the demonstration was a viola- tion of the rules. The national association of manu- facturers, through James A. Emery, also put before the committee an emphatic protest against full cash payment of the bonus. Emery called the new money plan en “experiment” and warned the committee to “avoid experiments, es- pecially those condemned by histor- ical precedents.” “There is no evidence that our dif- ficulties arise from a lack of cur- rency,” Emery said. “We believe the fundamental thing that cannot be overstressed is that. confidence is required to restore the equilibrium. “The fundamental trouble is that we are moving in a fog of political uncertainty. We can’t chart our course until the fog lifts.” “What would you have done to lift the fog?” asked Representative Eslick (Dem., Tenn.). “action,” Emery replied. “First, pass the tax bill so industry may know what to expect.” ips, t= ’ North Dakota Girl \ | In Fashion Parade | New York, April 25.—(P)— They're getting taller and taller in the fashion parades.
