Under the verdict, “without capital punish- ment,” life sentence is mandatory. His bond of $25,000 was continued pending action on a motion for a new trial. Miss Grace Brandon, 24, former sweetheart of the Eivyur-old Medical Corps pulmonary specialist, expressed n‘rzt ln San Antonio, Tex., at his con- Girl to Enjoy Life. “I feel sorry for him” sald Miss Brandon, returning from Kansas City to & motor car the major gave her and her duties in the Air Corps_ Supply Office at Brooks Field, “as I would for any one else in the same circum- stances. But I don’t know of anything I can do for him now. “I felt certain,” she added, “as every one else seemed to, that he would be Nulultted It is too bad.

THE EVENING 400D BACKS LUCAS IN FIGHT ON NORRI Appropriations Chairman in House Describes Nebraskan as “Demagogue.” (Continued Prom First Page.) ber of the Republican National Commit- tee and never has been. The declaration of war on Norris and Representative Wood was conSidered far more serious than the attack made on them by Mr. Lucas. Mr. Wood is an_important member of the House, a leader of long standing. If other Republican leaders join with Mr. Wood and the rank and file of the Republic- | gra: ans in Congress xenemuy follow along, % m‘be’: 1ike l beeun:‘eu e ely to even mcr: ingense than it has been in the SMuld the regular Republican or- ganization in-the House and Senate undertake to force these progressives out of those organizations it is quite clear that the Republicans may not be able to organize either the House or Senate in the next Congress. Perhaps Mr. Wood has taken this matter already into consideration in making his direct attack today on the progressives. In the House only a vote or two uves the Republicans nominally the preponder- ance. In the Senate the Revubllcans have 48 members and the Democrats 47, with the Farmer-Labor party holding 1 seat. Just how far the cleavage in Repub- lican ranks is to go time alone will show. But if it progresses much further a situ- ation not unlike that which confronted the party in 1912 may arise. Who would lead the progressives in their effort to gain control of the Republican organiza- | tion, or in a latter effort to break away from the G. O. P. and set up a third party is something of a eonund.rum. Norris, Borah, Pinchot are among the names suggested. None of them might get very far toward the establishment of & new party. But a break in the G. O. P. ranks would almost_inevitably about an election of a Democratic President in 1032, Senate Leaders Anxious. Mr. Lucas, in a statement issued Sun- day night, said that the conduct of Senator Norris of Nebraska in his op- position to his party had been “revolt- " He added that “until leaders of the Republican party not only fail to support but give their active opposition to men like Senator Norris they are not doing their full duty to the y which has come down to us from Lincoln.” ‘While Mr. Wood was defying Norris and other Progressives in the Bemte. the Republican leaders of the had | were considering somewhat mxinu.uy ‘what is to happen ln l‘.helx‘ plrty organ- ts | ization in the Uppe: Should the reiull.r mpublk,uu gen- erally get in line with Mr. Wood, Mr. Lucas and his activities nnlnn Senator Noreis ‘i the tast campeten. are’ Hkely | principal to be overshadowed. Brookhart Attacks Lucas. Senator Brookhart of Iowa, one of the insurgent group of Republicans, issued a broadside attacking Lucas, but more particularly Secretary Andrew W. Mellon of the Treasury Department. Mr. Brookhart took as his text a part of a statement issued by Mr. Lucas say- ing that Senator Norris’ conduct has given rise to a condition which amounts 'th in the vitals of red to Mr. Lucas as “only a little malig- nant wart under the toe-nall of this big personality.” The Iowa Senator said that “Mellon- ism” had been responsible for the downh.!l of the Harding administration and for Mr. Coolidge’s declaration that he did not “choose to run” for Presi- ism” as a bi-partisan financial control e of the country and the Government, the people at election time but carried out none of these promises. “When a vflnnz tool is wanted, the most convenient place to go is the ‘Treasury Department,” said Mr. Brook- hart, referring to the fact that Mr. Lucas had been internal revenue com- missioner before he was made executive director of the Republican National cauml__ ttee.

Further hearings of the Senate Cam- paign Investigating Committee, how- ever, have been postponed until January 5, when Congress reassembles, Senator Nye sald today, in order to enable|p" members of the commmze to keep their Christmas engagements.

Hoover = Selects Personal Friend to Make Country Safe for Him in 1932. Insiders Believe Californian Will Succeed Fess as National Chairman. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. An Elk has come to lead the Elephant out of the political jungle. To make the Republican party and the country safe again for Hetbert Hoover in 1932 is the assi task of Raymond Ben- jamin, San Francisco lawyer and nd exalted ruler of the Benevol ent Protective Order of Elks. Mr. Benja- min has just arrived in Washington and is on the job at Republican national hudqum ‘where he is no stranger. ‘Whether the actual rank and title of chairman are bestowed upon him or not, Benjamin will hold sway nt the Na- tional Committee offices in a super- advisory capacity, taking orders direct- ly from the White House and wielding corresponding authority. Factor in Coast Politics. Mr. Benjamin has been a factor in Pacific Coast politics since 1918. In that year he became chairman of the Republican State Committee of Cali- fornia and headed it for four years.

In 1926 he had to buck the strong opposition of Senator Hiram w. John.son, who_left few stones un- turned to accomplish the overthrow of the tall and lanky junior Senator from California. Native Californian. Benjamin is & native son of the Coast State, having been born at Vallejo, near Mare Island, in 1872. He has just cele- brated his fifty-eighth birthday. Ad- mitted to the bar in Napa County, he became its district attorney and made such a record there that he was ap- pointed chief assistant to the attorney general of the suu, the famous U. 8. ‘Webb, who has headed the California De ent of Jumce at Sacramento terruptedly since 1902. As webh‘ ci) aide, Benjamin helped draft_most of the important laws nfl' on the California statute books, in- cluding those governing the regulation of public service corporations. He also had a prominent hand in drawing up the California land-law legislation, which was aimed at preserving the State from invasion by Japanese and other Orientals, whose ice in large num- bers the “native sons” have always so hotly resented.

Regarded as Shrewd Politician. Benjamin, according to California ' politicians who know him well, is one of the shrewdest men at the game to be found anywhere in the United States. §60,000,000 ROAD FUND RELEASED Secretary Hyde Makes All of Emergency Sum Avail- able to States.

Intimate friends will tell you that his all-outstanding quality is his “realism.” He insists on getting to the bottom of conditions in any sit- uation he has to meet, and confronting them boldly, whether they are favorable or unfavorable. _Moonbeam - chasing, buncombe and Pollyanna stuff are de- scribed as utterly foreign to his nature. He goes into a prlmlry or election bat- tle with full consciousness that the other not be beaten except as the result of u carefully prepared attack. Benjamin is an apostle of the theory that in politics “things don’t happen—they have to be brought, about.” Family Moves to Capital. ‘The new power behind the Repub- lican throne is a California big t.ree sort of a man, towering fully 6 feet, 3 inches into space, with shoulders and girth that go with it. He's been prac- ticing law in San Francisco since leav- ing the Attorney General's office and the State Insurance Commission at Sacramento eight years ago. He is married and has one daughter, Barbara, just ending her 'teens. The family has packed up its belongings in San Fran- cisco and shipped them to Washington in the expectation of pitching its tent on_ the Potomac until further notice. Raymond Benjamin has one hobby outside of politics. He is a passionate | W lover of music. The violin is his favor- ite instrument and he fiddles with the classic ability of a Charles G. Dawes. Benjamin was drafted for consulative service at Republican headquarters in ‘Washington for a few weeks immedi- ately preceding the 1930 Congressional elections.
