TENAS CONVENTION COMMITTEE NAMED | = BER _Shaver Appoints Group to Fix Details—Jones Will Be Head. Plans for the Democratic mational convention June 26, in Houston, Tex., are gong forward rapidly, under su- [ pervision of a committee on arrange: {ments, named Dby Chairman Clem | Shaver of the party’s national com- i | of that committee, 1o have ds its active head Jesse 1. Jones of Houston, chairman of the finance committee of the national com- mittee, who did much to win the con- vention for the Texas city. Mr Shaver will be chairman, but ex officio, it is said. The committee today launched plans for construction of a_$100,000 tempo vy building, in which the nest Dem atie nominee for the presidency e named. In announcing that he had wired the c « docision { to Mayor Osear 11 | Chiairman Jones said that the temj 1y building will accommodate ahont cople. instead of the 6500 Which the present Houston auditozium | hold ussion oc will continued today as to | whether the’ selection of Houston for the convention was an_anti-Smith move or would be harmful to Gov. Smith's candidacy for the presidentia; nominati:n Gener Democratie leaders assertad that they believed the holdips of the convention in Texas would not hurt the chances of the New Yorker. Opposition Continues. But while the gathering of the Democrats here Thursday at the Jack- son day dinner is regarded as having been helpful, opposition to the nomina tion ot Smith has not vanished. There are indications, for example, that many of Southern States will ewing their suppert to Senator George of Georgia, whose candidacy for the nomination has been indorsed by Dem- ocrats of that State. The committee on arrangements, 21 in’ number, includes several strong Smith_suporters, among them X man E. Mack of New York, Georze Brennan of lllinois, Frank Hague of ew Jersey, Thomas J. Spellacy of wnecticut and Arthur Mullen of Ne braska. Others members of the com mittee are: W. A. Julian, Ohlo; Charles A. Greathouse, Indiana: Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, Missouri: Urey Wooason, Kentucky; Cordell Hull, “Tennessee; I1sador Dockweiler, California; Mrs. Genevieve Clark Thompson, Louisiana; Bruce Kremer, Montana; John 8. Cohen, Georgia: John Barnett, Colo rado; Mrs. Florence Farley, Kansas Scott Ferris, Oklahoma: Mrs. Lerc Springs, South Carolina; Mrs. Dorothy Jackson, New Hampshire, and Miss Alice Cordell, Arkansas. Proposal Studied. The suggestion made by Gov. Smith in a letter read at the Jackson day dinner, that a platform be whippes into shape prior 1o the meeting of the natlonal convention, 10 be submitted for the approval of the national gath ering, is being considered by Demo. cratic leaders. A subcommittee may be appointed to deal with the matter, but it is realized that only the con- vention can adopt a platform. If a platform draft is determined upon, will Gov. Smith and his sup porters fosist upon a wet plank, at- tacking the eighteenth amendrent and the Volstead act? That is both- ering some Democrats, especially in | view of the governor's assertion in {his letter thet the Democrats must face insues squarely and not carry water on both shoulders. Senator Glass, national committee. man from Virginia, thinks it ix an ab- surd proposition, since the framing of a platform is the (inction of deie- ex to the convention. Senator Simmons, committeeman from North Carolina, I8 outspoken in his opposi- tion to such action, “Of course, the national committ often outlines planks and rexolutions for a platform ahead of time” said Senator Simmonw, “but the delegates alone can way what they shall be, 1 think the committee should make cer tain sukgestions but should go no turther.” Hits Specific Planks.

Three fourths of the present field force of prohibition agents have “flunked” the Civil Service examina- tions, Prohibition Commissioner Doran disclosed last night. Although previously indicating that many had failed Dr. Doran this time went into details, telling that 1,500 men out of the 2,000 on the prohibi- tion pay roll as agents, Inspectors and supervisos had failed on the witten testw, With this big majority of the pres- ent enforcement machine about to lose their jobs, Dr. Doran feels the system will he'in a bad way. He is making every effort some change made in the Civil ice requirel nis, so that those who failed can have another chance. Dr. Doran criticlzed the form of the ex: aminations, declaring that he would have heen unable to answer some of the questions himself. Plans Personal Appeal. Pending word from the Civil Serv- ice Commission whether it would 1 amine the flunkers, Doran took s to prevent their discharge from service by telegraphing all prohi- hition administrators to make no pe manent appointments for the present. Mo then went into conference with membhers of the Civil Service Commis- sion to appeal in person for a re-exen fnation for all of hix men who failed. A clean sweep of the prohibition foree in Carolina tertitory would re ult from the Civil Service Commis- jon examinations, Dovan explained. for of 30 agents now stationed there only one passed the examination and he was not rated by his superiors as being a highly eficient officer. In New York 50 per cent of agents in service failed. In Philadelphia, where the same percentage of failure obtained, Doran sald that one of the unsuecessful € ernment agents Was a graduate of the University of Towa ind & former United States marshal. Doubts Replacement. Tn arguing with the Civil Serv Commission, the prohibition commis- sioner said he had pointed vut that it would be literally impossible 1o re- place so great a percentage of his force from among the aspirants to the service from the outside. Though about 4.000 such individuals seeking places have passed the examination he asserted that their qualities, for the most part, did not appear to be very good. Doran said that E. C. Yellowley prohibition administrator at Chicago. had been furnished with a list of 200 such aspirants certified to him by the Civil Service Commission as successful in passing the e ination, but had been able to find only five of the num- ber suitable for employment. In Detroit, Dr. Doran conitnued, an attempt to make temporary appoint- ments from a group of 200 aspirants who passed the examination resulted in the selection of about four or five men as competen:. The prohibition commissioner de- claved that he intended to continue his contest in every way against the ect of the civil service program. While unable so far to obtain any concessions fromn the commission, he considers the grave necessity for set- ing aside the first examination has been brought out.
