Staff Correspondent of The Star, OMAHA, Nebr., September 27. Lowiden for-President cam {hraska bears some of the the biblical story of Js with a reverse twist. It is the voice of Lowden, but underneath is the hand of Dawes. Rather, it should be said, underneath the hands of Vice ! dent friends, who are and not without influence in | is State. Gen. Dawes, it is confi- dently predicted in some Republican quarters here, will be the beneficiar, 0! the Nebraska vote in the national convention next year, but probably jatter the delegation has voted first Jor Senator George Norrie, and then for former Gov. Frank O. Lowden Senator Norris is the strongest fig- wre in Nebraska politics today. Dem- werats and Republicans alike admit it. Die can have the State delegation to fthe convention without turning a hand. | 9t is reliably reported here mow that Norris will put no_obstacles | vy of a delegation instructed ifor himself. But it is not expected, inor does Senator Norris expect, that {the delegation will continue voting for ihim “till the last galoot's ashore.” The {Senator has no illusions, it is said, labout the likelihood of his being nom- | inated for President, but he is not} erse to giving the progressive senti ment in the convention a rallying post. | Regulars Joining In. The consequence is that some of the more resular Republicans are joining | in with the plan to send a Norris dele- gation, with the understanding that sooner or later the delegation will go 10 Gen. Dawes. : The only fly in the ointment is per- haps Gov. Adam McMullen, who Las declared vigorously for the nomina- tion of Gov. Lowden, and the group avhich goes with the governor. But i is understood that the matter prob- ably will be ironed out by agreeing 1nat after the delegation- has -voted Hor Senator Norris in the convention 4t shall cast a vote or two for Mr. J.owden, and if Mr. Lowden is not nominated, then it may go to Gen. J)awes., In other words, the real sen- | {timent is for Dawes as a likely win- xer of the nomination. For few Re- publicans here believe that TLowden n be nominated. Both Lowden and fawes have the advantage of being regarded as friends of the farmer, 1hrough their support of the McNary: Jaugen farm relief bill in the last Congress, and both are acceptable as yepresentatives of the Middle West @nd West, as opposed to the East. The purpose is to pick a strong Re- publican delegation which shall ko as| - as can reasonably be expected for | ‘Senator Norris. But it will not be such a delegation as would remain outside the party bulwarks if Norris wvere not the choice of the convention, @3 the Wisconsin delegation has done 4n the past after the late Senator La Follette was turned down in con- ivention. Will Stand for West. The delegation, however, may he expected to stand for a Western man, and to date Lowden and Dawes are 1he pick. Senator Norris has not ex- | yressed himself in regard to either Mr. Lowden or Mr. Dawes, it d Jut there are some who believe he anight give the preference to Dawes. This may be mere speculation. The fact that Vice President Dawes 1= a banker, and a big one, does not terrorize the Nebraska Republicans. "The State is not unprosperous by a 1ong shot, although many of the farm- e and business men continue to insist that agriculture shall have a better | deal in the economic scheme of things, Gen. Dawes has a Nebraska back- ground, just as he has an Ohio and Tilinois background. He was born and 3eared in Ohio, but as a young man he came to Nebraska to practice law, and hung his shingle out in Lincoln, Nebr., from 1887 to 1894. He has many friends and business associates ®nd connections in the State. Nebraska, temporarily at least f(" the East. Under different ‘aitions it mizht conceivably give its support 1o Secretary Hoover of the Devartinent of Commerce, who hails from California. Indeed. Mr. Hoover has his admircrs in the State even | now. But the fact that Mr. Hoover was food administrator when the Gov- ernment clapped a maximum price on wheat during the World War is re- membered here by the farmers, asi woell as his more recent opposition to | the MeNary-Haugen farm bill. e Dawes’ Women Favor Hoover. Nebraska, however, is much inter-| e:ted in the problem of waterways de- velopment 2nd flood control of the | Mississippi and its tributaries. If Mr. Hoover comes forward with a flood iprevention plan, which shall at the same time permit the of flood waters for big areas of s hich now frequently from draught, it m id in building Hoover-for-President ‘sentiment in Ne- | fhraska. Furthermore, there are many | woman voters in the State who think very highly of Mr. Hoover, both be- | cause of his war work and his relief work the war. And added to them must be n »f the busine men who believe that he is the ki chief executive which the country | whould have. At present, however,| the chances for Hoover delegates to the national convention from Nebras-| Xa are not bright. The MHughes-for-President which has made headway in the Last, has not penetrated Nebraska so far. Nebraska wants a westerner for Presi- dent, as has already been said. If, however, the time came when it was apparent that an easterner was to be chosen, Hughes probably would be more satisfactory to this State than any other. The former Secretary of ate is highly regarded, even by the Progressives, who believe that he 1id make an honest and able Presi- Gint. In some quarters it is helieved that Mr. Hughes would be a stronger after boom, {our existence so - | 1of | TUNNEY TO CONSECRATE LIFE TO AIDING WELFARE OF YOUTH Heavyweight Title Holder Plans to Teach Value of Clean Living. | i | lion First—Still Far From Goal, He Says. | i iR | Proposes to Accumulate Mil-; | BY ED VAN EVERY. | al Dispatch to The Star W YORK, September haven't got my million yet, but some day T'll have it, and when my finan- | cial independence is ured, then 1 hope to be able to consecrate my fu ture to that purpose for which I be. lieve T was ordained.” i 1 had caught Gene Tunney in an‘ unusual moment. 1 have often won- dered what was the real aim in life of this strangest of all pugilistic champions.

ROME, September 23.—Marching between cheering lines of Italians, 260 members of the American Legion good-will party, headed by Comdr. Howard P. Savage, proceeded to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier today to pay their tribute to the one who rep- resents Ttaly's sacrifice in the World War. Henry P. Fletcher, the American Ambassador, stood beside Comdr. Savage and the: other Legion digni- taries during the ceremony, at which the Italian Army, Navy, Air Force and Fascist Militia were largely rep- resented. The Americans deposited on the tomb a wreath tied with rib- bons in the American and Italian colors. A number of Italian Veterans blind- ed in the war were among the cheer-| ing throngs along the line of march. | The Legionnaires were greeted with shouts of “Long live America:” and “Long live the Legion! | Received by Pope. | Pope Pius today received the Amer- ican Legion party visiting Rome and gave it a most cordial welcome to the Eternal City. g The Legionnaires were introduced by Mgr. Eugene Burke, rector, and Joseph A. Breslin, vice rector of the American College in Rome. The pontiff showed the keenest satisfaction at seeing so many Ameri- can Legionnaires and thanked them for their desire to see him. Rome presented one of its be: pects this morning when the Le- gionnaires went to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a golden sun in the bluest kind of sky giving a cheer- ful background to the solemn cere- y. The Stars and Stripes waved /where together with the Italian tricolor in a brightest Autumnal at- mosphere, while thousands of full- dress uniforms glittered brilliantly. Crowds Are Enthusiastic. The Piazza Venezia, one of the largest in Rome, which faces the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, was flanked by detachments of infantry, aviation and sailors smart uniforms, contrasting with the severe, somber black shirts of the Fascista militia. When the head of the Ameriran procession appeared, preceded by the ‘American and Legion flags, which were immediately followed by Ambas- sador Fletcher and Comdr. Savage, both tall, erect and imposing, all the military ' bands in the square re. sounded with “The Star Spangled Banner,” the soldiers presented arms in salute and the crowd applauded enthusiastically. Slowly the proce: naires crossed the piazza and mounted the great marble staircase of the monument to Victor Emmanuel in the center, where, under the altar of the mother country, is the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Once on top, a wreath was laid, the bands stopped Jlaying and all knelt in deep silence. ‘or one minute the sclemn hush held. The entire life of the Eternal City seemed suspended.

The Democratic party has got to get back to its spirit of 1912. A soft, mealy-mouthed policy won't do.” Mr. Daniels described both the Washington and Geneva naval con-| ferences as ‘‘farces.” | “We should s: to England.” he | said, “that we are ready and willing to cut our Navy very greatly, but we are going to be equal. The United States should have a Navy equal to any navy in the world. We should answer the Geneva conference by building cruisers. “We will never get a satisfactory naval reduction unless we adopt the principle of the League of Nations whereby all nations would reduce uniformly. “As a result of the Washington conference we went ahead like fools and sunk ships as the North Caro- o'na with 16-inch guns and kept such old antiquated vesseis at the Wyo- ming with nch guns. “If the Navy had done that it should have been court-martialed, but the Navy was not allowed to say a word.

He thought dreadnaugk.ts represented the unit of naval strengtin when any Navy man knows that de- stroyers are more important.” Visits Notables. Mr. Daniels called on Secretary Wil- bur today and congratulated him on his reply to Admiral Thomas P. Magruder, who assailed the Navy in a magazine article as being over- organized and extravagant. Mr. Daniels also visited William G. McAdoo, who served in the Wilson cabinet with him, but declined to dis- cuss this visit. He also refused to comment on Gov. Smith's candidacy other than to say that Smith had a lot of friends in North Carolina who thought he had made a good governor, Soviet to Join Boston Fete.

While several changes in personnel imong the administrators are looked for as the outcome of the examina- tions, the administrative offic] tioned in Washington are not to be affected. Fxaminations for the positions administrators are nearing completi but those for the agents, cler other employes have not got under ay. Undesirable and inefficient agents are being gradually weeded out of the service, Lowman said, predicting that considerably more than a majority the present agents, if successfi ssing the examinations, would r their posts. There are nearly 20,000 applicants for the 3,500 positions in the bureau. Fight Looms in Congress, Wets and drys meanwhile are lining | up their forces for a resumption of their annual warfare in Congress. Neither side made any material | progress in the way of législation at the last session, but the drys are hope- ful of getting through some of the ministration proposals in the old off bill for tightening up the Volstead act. Conceding that the drys have a pre- ponderance of the votes in both the House and Senate, the wets say there | is no parliamentary method by which they can delay a decision, as the first session of the new Congress will con- tinue for five or six months, probably un:il just before the Republican | national convention next june. i However, proponents of additional dvy legislation incline to the view now thut with a presidential campaign in the offing the party leaders will not look with any great favor on enact- ment of more stringent provisions to a law which the wets now charge is impossible of enforcement. Tssue in 1928 Expected. While the prohibition issue is a non-partisan one so far as Congress itself is concerned, it is in national politics more So at present than per- hups_ever before, and party leaders see little prospect of it heing removed in advance of the 1128 presidential election unless it should be that boti of the major parties nominated candi- dates pronouncedly dry. Just what provisions of the Goff act will be selected by the drys as their battle points in the new Congress r mains to be determined, but during the last session emphasis was placed upon those proposals for revocation of liquor permits, for search of dwellings suspected of having been converted into commercial distilling places and for stricter regulation of breweries. Whatever bill is introduced on be- half of the drys will have to go through the usual process of commit- tee consideration, with public or pri- vate hearings. Since the Goff bill wa favorably reported by the Senate ju- diciary committee there has been a complete change in high prohibition enforcement officials and naturally the views of the new officials would be sought by congi ional committees before legislation was reported to either house. At _any hearings held the Anti loon League will be represented by F. Scott McBride, new legislative super- intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, selected temporarily, at least, to carry on the work which the late Wayne B. Wheeler looked after for many vears hoth in committee and the halls of Congress. | Wets to Have Program. ‘While the wets have not yet formu- lated their program, it is certain that they will come forward again with amendments to the Volstead act, leav- ing to the courts what s, in fact, in- toxicating beverage, thus removing the one-half of 1 per cent restriction of the law. In other words, thye would extend to all beverages the provision governing cider and fruit juice: Another proposal they will press is that removing the restriction on the amount of spirits a physician may prescribe for patients. This measure is in line with one indorsed by the American Medical Association. Whether the wets will press for a national referendum on the questions of repealing the eighteenth amend- ment and modifying the Volstead act has not yet been determined. But neither these nor any of the other wet proposals have any chance of getting anywhere in the next Congress, which is overwhelmingly dry. ta surgeons and specialists from all parts ot the world are expected to attend the meeting.

Farm Situation Better. Perhaps the most encouraging tor of all is the improvement in the | agricultural situation. Not only have the crops been beyond e: pectation, but consumption has increased in many ommodities along with the highe: prices. Consumption of cotton, for instance, is unusually large. The moment the farmer gets an in-| creased price for his commodities his | purchasing power is felt in both the | wholesale and retail business oZ the | country.

FEDERAL BUILDING PROGRAM TAKEN UP - TODAY IN GOTHAN |Fine Arts Commission Con- | siders Plans for Erection of Structures Here. | DISTRICT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE STUDIED New Municipal Offices Will Oc- cupy an Important Phase of Meeting. Staff Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, September ~—The ird step today as the Commission of Fine Arts met here with informal lindications that approval probably would be given to plans for the first iwo great structures to be reared on | the so-called Pennsylvania avenue tri- | angle. | Complete sketches for the Depart- ment of Commerce Building and the Internal Revenue Bureau Building |were before the commission in the offices of York & Sawyer, architects for the Commerce structure, and ft was understood that individual mem- bers of the commission were favor- ably disposed toward both. Actual progress on the Commerce site will take place tomorrow, it was learned through Treasury Depart- ment sources, when bids will be open- |ed at 3 o'clock in the office of the su- pervising architect, for tearing down the first old buildings on the Commerc: site, to make way for the longes: building in the National Capital. Municipal Building Project. | These bids were to have been opened about a week ago, but were delayed. Contract for this razing of old build- ings in the area between E street Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets and B street, with the exception of the House of Detention and the Treasury Annex No. 2, will probably be let in a few days, and the wreckers are ex- pected to start work immediately thereafter, The Iine Arts Commission also planned to take up today in its general ‘phases the proposed municipal build- ing project in the four squares south of Judiciary Square. Formal an- nouncement of the commission’s ac tion today will be forwarded to Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon imme- diately, it was stated by Charles Moore, chairman of the commission, prior to the opening session this morn- ing. It had been.décided, he said, that the commission would leave it to Mr. Mellon to make public the re- sults, and consequently there would be no formal statement forthcomins. It was learned informally from in- dividual members of the commission that some of them already had viewed the beautiful plan for the Dezpartment of Commero: Building and the Internal Revenue Building, and were most ‘avorably inclined to give their ap- proval. The general principles of the whole triangle development, it was explained, were to be discussed by the commission, in reviewing the sketches made by the Board of Archi- tectural consultants of the Treasury Department to carry out the adopted plan of a unified architectural compo- sition, The latest plans for the Depart- ment of Commerce Building, under- stood already to have been approved by Secretary of Commerce Hoover, have been drawn, it was learned, not only to fit in harmoniously with the architectural composition of the whole triangle, but also to afford to the em- ployes who will work in the million square feet of floor space of this great structure a healthful amount of fresh air and light. The plans in this re- speet, it was learned, have been im- proved over the original ones, which had been developed when it was at | first intended to place both the De- partment of Commerce and the De- partment of Justice along Fifteenth street and the west end of the Penn- sylvania avenue triangle.
