MARTINSVILLE, Ind., February 24— Emmett F. Branch, who succeeded War- ren T. McCray as Governor of Indianu in 1824 and served for less than a year, dled at his home here last night sev- | eral hours after he suffered a heart | attack. He was 57 years old. The special committee authorized yesterday by the Democratic House to make recommendations for reorganizing 4 the Government was appointed today by Speaker Garner. On it he named Chairman Byrns of the Appropriations Committee, Chair- man Cochran of the Expenditures Com- mittee, Representatives McDuffie of Alabama, Democratic whip, and Doug- las of Arizona, a Democratic member of the Appropriations Committee; Rep- resentatives Wood of Indiana and Wil- liamson of South Dakota, ranking Re- publicans on Appropriations and Ex- penditures Committees, respectively and Representative Ramseyer, Repub- lican, Iowa. Early Meeting Planned. Byrns plans to call the committee to- gether soon to organize for its investi- | gating into all Government activitie with the view to making a report on ! consolidations by April 15. In setting up the group the House discarded President Hoover's req for unlimited authority to reorganize the Government by executive order. At about the time the committee was named, President Hoover was repre- sented as pleased that his recent recommendations had at least precipi- tated action. According to Representative Wood, the President expressed himself to that extent while they were discussing the action of the House in adopting the Douglas resolution creating a special | Economy Committee. ‘ Refuses to Comment. | Mr. Wood sald after his inferview with the President that he did not care to comment upon the House's action in ignoring Mr. Hoover’s recommendations \ for reorganization. He also declined to comment upon Speaker Garner's decla- ration last Sunday in which the Texan sald the. Democrats would not grant President Hoover the unlimited author- | ity the latter sought for the purpose of | reorganizing the Government. ! With the first phase of the George washington Bicentennial - celebration successfully_completed, the District Bi- centennial Commission today turned its attention to the next peak event in the nine-month program of activities, Although several collateral events are’! scheduled in between, the next major happening in the commission’s program is the observance of Army day, April 6, which is the fifteenth anniversary of the entry of the United States into the World War. Due to the Bicentenn celebration of the birth of the Arm first commander in chief, the obser ance this year will be carried out on a mammoth scale, according to plans. Parade Planned. Dr. George C. Havenner, executive vice chairman of the District Bicenten- nial Commission, said the events sched- | uled for Army day will include a grand parade of military, patriotic and ci- | vilian organizations, marching on Penn- ia and Constitution avenues, A onstration on the Monument Grounds will follow, with Secretary of War Hurley and other officials review- ing the various units in the parade. Some of the marching units will wear Continental uniforms styled after the custom of Washington's day. The grand marshal of the parade is expected to be Gen. Douglas MacArthur, army chief of staff, while Maj. Gen. Paul B. Ma- lone, commander of the 3d Corps Area, will be marshal. The program will be under the sponsorship of the Military Order of the World War, and more than a score of organizations are ex- pected to participate.

WINCHESTER, Va., February 24— A princess from each State of the Union is being invited through Statc Governors to attend the ninth annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festivs] here this Spring, it was announced to- day at headquarters. Letters were mailed to Governors of each State in- viting them to name some representa- tive young woman as a member of the court of her majesty “Queen Shenan- doah IX.” Last year Governors of States east o! the Mississippi River received similar requests and most of them made ap- pointments. Selecting princesses fron: the various States instead of from coun- ties of Virginia and nearby States in the apple belt will reduce Virginia to only one princess, it was said. Heretofore, princesses have been ap- pointed from congressional and State senatorial districts of this State. While details are to be worked out regarding costuming, it was indicated Colonial at- tire will prevail, to be in keeping with the George Washington Bicentennial year.
