ASUNITING G. 0.P. Harmony -in Party. in_lowa May Result—Brookhart Given Support. - By B0 Associated Press. DES MOINES, July 21.--The farm reliet question today looms as a prob- able medium of complete harmony in the Republican party of Towa. Preceded by the meetings of the corn belt committee and the 11 States committee of 22 which agreed upon a definite program of farm leg- islation and censured both major parties for “abandoning campaign promises,” the State Republican con- vention assembled today with pros- pects of factional quarrels being side- tracked, possibly ignored, while the principal issue in the Midwest—agri- culture—1is discussed in detail. The corn belt committee, composed of farm and co-operative organization heads the committee of 22 named at the agricultural conference here Jast Winter concluded their sessions yesterdav. ‘They outlined a program of farm legislation identical with that rejected by the last Congress and which is essentlally “protection for all industries, agriculture included, as a peer, or, as a last resurt, protection for none. Will Carry Fight Farther. The committee of 22, made up of bankers 'and manufacturers = and others interested in farm conditions, decided to carry on its fight for re- lief, to include committeemen from other Western and Southern States which desire representation, and to finance its finlsh battle for congres- sfonal adoption of its program by ap- pealing to State legislators for appro- priations. The corn belt committee also took steps toward a_closer alliance of the Western Republican corn belt and the Southern Democratic cotton belt when plans were laid to hold meetings in border States before the next session of Congress. . That attention of the Republican convention is to be centered on farm relief has been predicted by Dan W. Turner of Corning, keynoter, and Col. Smith W. Brook storm center of the party for two years and now sen- atorial nominee for the third time in six years. Urges Party Harmony. Mr. Turner indicated he would at- tempt to place the party in Iowa sol- idly behind the fight for farm relief and at the same timfe urge complete harmony in the ranks. Col. Brook- hart, an ardent farm relief proponent, again declared he could “continue the fight on issues” without thought of the party organization. Col. Brookhart today faced the pros- pect of recelving for the first time the attention usually accorded a senatorial nominee by the party. In past years he has been ignored, but today he will be seated on the platform, probably with Senator Alpert B. Cummins, whom he defeated in the June pri- mary. Breokhart strength in the conven- tion was revealed by the support given vesterday to a_ proposal . that the party go on record as favoring a reopening of the contest of Senator Dan F. Steck, Democrat, which re- sulted in the unseating of Senator Brookhart. The purpose of the move Would be to unseat Steck and pave the way for Jowa Republicans to place him' with one of their own se- lection. * The corn belt committee yesterday received a report of its cost finding committee, which fixed. the actual cost of production of a bushel of corn in I with an allowance for a fair profit, at $1.42. The cost was not mentioned in the resplutions, however, and was not set up as the mark to be attained in the continued effort to obtain con- gressional relief for agriculture. The cost finding committee’s report also set forth that in Illinois the ex- pense of producing corn, with a fair profit of 5 per cent included, is $1.43; in Nebraska, $1.40; Minnesota, $1.41, :nd in North Dakota and Wisconsin, 1.42. Capitalized at $148 an Acre. Other costs of production in Towa, allowing the same fair margin of were reported as: Oats, 79 wheat, §2.49; hay, $21.44; hogs, veal, $17.82; wool, 65 cents; 20.45; chickens, 28 cents; butterfat, 98 cents, and eggs, 61 cents. An average 160-acre farm was the area upon which the compilation was based, and it was capitalized at $148 an acre, with an_ average interest of 5 per cent, or $1,184. Other expenses figured included: Depreciation’ on a $2,250 dwelling, ; depreciation on $3,690 worth of other buildings, $184; depreciation on fences, $83; depreciation and interest upon_$1,9 worth of machinery, $335.56; farmer’s salary, $1,800; hired | help, $390; fertilizer, $101.60, and au- tomobile depreciation and interest, $121.50, only 75 per cent of the motor car expense being charged to the farm. Present Income Too Low. The total income necessary for the b per cent fair return, as outliped, is $6,601.44, against what was said to be & present income of $2,998.44. Th ures were compiled by E. E. Kennedy of Pontiac, Iil, secretary of the Illinols Farmers' Union. They were prescnted by Milo Reno, presi- dent of the Jowa Farmers' Union.

PSILIAS ORDERED FREED AS MELLETT (Continued. from First Page.) second trip to Pittsburgh in less than 14 hours in futile attempt td identify George Psilias as one of the gunmen. Slater’s first trip to Pittsburgh was fruitless, the Allegheny County Jail warden refusing to permit any one to see Psilias. Returning here :at:1:30 o'clock this morning, Slater went into coriference. with McClintock and the second trip was arranged. Psilias contends he was at Warren, Ohio, at the time Mellett was shot to death at.his garage door, supposedly because of his editorial and personal activities against members of the underworld. Chief of Detectives Ed Swope and Ben Clark, secretary to Lengel, ac- companied the chief to Cleveland. They had expected to bring Lamont back here, but after the interrogation and following a conference with Cap- tain of Detectives Emmet J. Potts of Cleveland, Chief Lengel decided ‘to leave Lamont there pending word from Detective Slater and the Stark County prosecutor, Lamont said he knew George Psilias, but contends he has 40 wit- nesses who can prove he was in Cleveland on the night of murder. Lengel also has declared, after con- versing with Warren authorities, that he is satisfied with Psilias’ alibi. Between Slater’s two trips ' he checked up on the other leads which had been left in the hands of George V. Armstrong, his assistant. THINKS SLAYERS NEAR. COLUMBUS, ©hio, July 21 (A.— The murderer or murderers of Don R. Mellett, Canton publisher, walk the streets of Canton today, in. the opinion of C. H. Sissom, Govs Vic Donahey’s_special investigator. Sisson had _returneq here, after spending five days:in Canton investi- gating the crime. He believes that the crusading publisher’s death was plotted by underworld characters who felt they were most harmed by Mel- lett’s pen; that the men who actually pulled the triggers of the guns that took Mellett's life—and he thinks there were two “trigger men”—were deni#ens of Canton's underworld. “I think they. are henging around their familiar street corners today,” Sisson said. dine, which opposes any move to make tariffs effective of agriculture on the ground that to do so would place American industry at a dis- advantage in competition with foreign competitors in the export markets of the world,”” was condemned.

Fascists See Collapse of Parllament Rule in France." ; ROMBE, July 21 ‘#)—~The French situation is regarded by the Italian press as an indication of the col- lapse of parliamentary government. There is no suggestion that Fascist methods be adopted there, however, and both official and press circles refrain from any tendency te exult over the situation. «This is for two reasons, first, be- cause the collapse of the franc is having a marked effect on the lira, which is hovering above 30 to the dollar, and, second, because it is felt that the crisis is having a_disquiet- ing effect on the entire European situation, endangering the efforts of Italy and -other nations to forget politics _and achieve economic and financial reconstruction, Arnaldo Mussolini, the premier's brother, writing in the semi-official Popolo d'Italia, strikes the keynote by saying that Italy, instead of per- mitting herself to interfere even morally, prefers to watch “the tragic spectacle of social democracy’'s self- confident that France will learn sooner or later what Italy |found out between 1919 and 1922. Layoro d'Italia, organ of the Fas- clst syndicates, declares the real bat- tle is behind the scenes, among the big financial groups, which, “instead of considering - the salvation of France, exploit parliamentarism to aid in their profiteering on the fall- ing exchange.” # Herriots Fall Seen.

Financial and political circles in Berlin are inclined to take a waiting attitude toward the French situation, but all aré agreed that the new Her- ;m‘ ministry is doomed to early de- eat. .

Maj. Gordon expressed little fear over this report. “If these publishers do send their lawyers, we will be waiting for them,” he said today. ‘The more the merrier. I am sure no Washington court will get stage fright at the sight of a whole army of New York lawyers.
