The Idaho Senator said today he had. been Tequested to make some speeohes in the Ecrthwest E’tltu and added he was seriously considering acceptance. However, he first must take the rest which has been commanded by sicians. That rest HYMI’ will be two months and will be taken in Idaho, if the doctors, approve. Led F¥ight For Debenture. Borah was one of the leaders of the band of Western Republican lndem- dents who fought for the ®xport deben- ture principle of farm relief which was opposed by President Hoover., This same band also sought unsuccessfully to confine tariff revision to agricultural prodticts alone. The Idahoan is prepared to defend these contentions of the Republican in- dependents. Several of the group are up for re-election this year and Borah ' himself is a candidate. He is ready to take the stump. He is tend that the farm problem will settled until the program of the inde- pendents is lda&!:d. It is unlikely t Borah will get into action before mid-September or Octo- ber. Thete is no itinerary for Ms speaking tour and none will be made until he completes the period of rest he has been directed to take. Wonder Over Effect in 1932, Considerable interest attaches to the prospective Borah tour in the North- west among party leaders at the Capi- tal. Some are wondering on the effect it will have in the presidential race two years hence. Meanwhile, President Hoover is pre- paring to cross this same agricultural territory this Summer. Howevef, the presidential trip is expected to be con- fined to sight seeing alone and so far Mr. Hoover has no plans for any speeches. Among the places which the Senator intends to visit is Nebraska where friends of Senator Norris, a candidate for re-nomination, have w him to speak. Borah indicated that he on the opposite side of the campaign stump from Borah in 1928, supporting Alfred E. Smith’s candidacy for the presidency. Steiwer to Direct Drive in West. Chairman Moses of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee and “Young Guard” committee members, who have been dissatisfied with his way of doing things, met yesterday but apparently all was peaceful. The committee divided up the cam- paign territory and placed Senator Steiwer of Or in charge of the States west of the Mississippi. Moses himself will take charge of the campaign in the East. Despite the division of territory, Se: ator Moses sald he intended to make trip he had planned into some of the Western States.

In a statement some & ago Steiwer offered the aid of committee to any Republican senatorial nominee regardless of his alliance with factions in the Senate.

CHICAGO, July 23.—Chorus girls en route to Broadway in their dreams are detouring behind cigar stands, and hosiery counters in Chicago these days, for the theater here is suffering its worst Summer in the city's history. But not only is the rank and file of the profession affected. A matinee hero is running an elevator in a Loop sky- scraper. A popular juvenile lead has found em‘)loyment in a lumber yard. Lead! ladles are saying, “Order, lease?” and a villian is selling neckties a shop on the Boul Mich. In fact, despite reports that vaude- ville is in increasing demand, folks are taking any job they can get— and are glad to get it—it was learned from the Actors’ Equity Association and various theatrical employment agencies. ‘The talkies, too many applicants to a Job, a change in the public’s taste, the stock market “hang-over,” were blamed for the situation by those in the theatri- cal know. Yet their theme song is “Bet- ter Times Are Coming.” About 2,000 actors, actresses and per- formers look to Chicago for their ham and eggs in the Summer. Nearly 800 of these are still making the rounds hope- fully, even though some of the employ- ment agents are reported to have “gone fishing.” ‘The main source of pay checks in the the stock shows that are cast here and sent out on the road. stage | 1 profession in Summer in Chicago are | ‘WAIT TABLE AND IN CHICAGO Theme Song of Hundreds Without Work Is “Better Times Are Coming™ as Slump Grips Theater. - of Chicago this Summer, and generally there are from 25 to 30. % It was also an off season for traveling tent shows, as only a few were made up here, and several of these are reported folding up or losing money.

Last year in the mid- dle of July there were five.

But only 20 of the corporation’s chain of 250 theaters are booked out of Chicago. Last year popular motion pictures stayed in one house from five to six weeks in the Summer, but the best any have done this season has been four weeks and the general run is two. However, theatrical people here are looking for a marked improvement in the situation next month as several out- standing musical and dramatic produc- tions are booked for August.

IOWA DEMOCRATS ASK STATE DRY CONTROL Platform Adopted After Defeating Move to Omit Reference to Prohibition. By the Assoclated Press. DES MOINES, July 23.—Iowa Demo~ crats will enter the Fall campaign with a platform advocating State regulation of the sale of liquor, declaring for a referendum on the eighteenth amend- ment and opposing a State income tax. They adopted these planks at their State convention yesterday in a plat- form which assailed the new tariff bill, urged repeal of the primary election system and condemned the Republicans’ efforts at farm relief. The prohibition plank, which asked that steps be taken to ascertain the at- titude of the voters toward the eight- eenth amendment and the Volstead act, was approved after the convention voted down a motion to omit all refer- ence to prohibition. ‘The resolution favored a law defining intoxicating beverages “according to a reasonable non-intoxicating standard of alcoholic content,” and giving the States power to make their own statutes for forbidding or restricting the sale of liquor under the new standard. Party leaders regarded the phrasing of the prohibition resolution as a compro- banks and other banks located in the District of Columbia are not taxable. DISTRICT MAN JOINS CATERPILLAR CLUB Lieut. F.
