EXECUTIVE IS SEEKING CONTROL OF STATE G.0.P. Opposes Hoover's. Policies While Working for Nomination of Butler. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star PHILADELPHIA, April 23.— The Pinchot political ambitions are diversi- fied this year. Not only is Gov. Pinchot seeking to nominate his candidate for the Senate, Maj. n. Smedley D. But- ler, and to gain abBolute control of the Republican State organization, but Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, the Governor's wife, is seeking the Republican nomi- nation for Representative in the fif- teenth congressional district. And Mrs. Pinchot apparently has a good chance of winning in the primaries on Tuesday. If she does, she is likely to be the first woman elected to the Na- tional House from the Keystone State. Mrs. Pinchot is seeking to oust Rep- | resentative Louis T. McFadden. Mr. | McFadden, who has been in the House a long time and was chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee in the last Congress, obtained a consider- able degree of notoriety a few months ago by charging that President Hoover had “sold out to Germany That was during the fight over the Hoover mora- torium legislation. Mrs. Pinchot, like her distinguished husband, is support- ing nearly everything in her platform that President Hoover opposes, includ- ing the soldiers’ bonus and huge Gov- ernment bond issues and appropria- tions for public works. However, she takes a crack at Mr. McFadden now and then because of his attack on President Hoover. 1 Slow to Support McFadden. ‘The Republican State organization has no love for Mrs. Pinchot, no more than it has for the Governor.

He said, however, he did not believe the Lindbergh kidnaping was entirely due | to prchibition, but added he felt C({n- gress must “face the fact.” that the dry Jaws “have made enormous profits available to gangsters and racketeers.” | “The sooner we repeal the eighteenth | amendment and the Volstead act and | permit each State to pass the kind of prohibition law desired by the ma- | jority of its citizens.” he said, “the Sooner will we diminish the enormous | profits which are now going into the pockets of criminals and helping them | to carry out difficult crimes success- | fully.” He placed in the Congressional Rec- ord a resolution adopted by the Los| Angeles Aviators' Post of the American Legion which blames the prohibition laws for the er activities which it believes responsible for the crime.

Massie was attempted to- day by Prosecutor John C. Kelley under a handicap Clarence Darrow de- clined to lift. Darrow, leader of the defense of the four persons accused of lynching Joseph Kahahawai, refused to permit officer under observation. Montgomery Winn, Darrow’s assist- ant, said “We don't contend Mr. Massie is| insane now, so we fail to see why their | examination of him is necessary Kelley said he believed Massie never was insane and he hoped, with testi- mony of alienists, to convert the jury | to his belief.

Kelley had counted upon the alien- ists, Dr. Joseph Catton of San Fran- cisco and Dr. Paul Bowers of Los Angeles, for testimony to offset that of | | { | sie insane at the moment Kahahawai allegedly sat before him and admitted attacking Mrs. Thalia Massie, his wife. ‘There being no territorial law com-| pelling the d-fense to subject Massie | to a prosecution examination Kelley re- | quested that privilege of Darrow yes- terday Darrow, master of defense strategy, vetoed the idea.

Kelley said he had not decided | whether Dr. Catton would take the witness stand, but that Dr. Bowers would testify. Although Kelley's immediate problem was the opening of the rebuttal, he asserted one of the hardest battles of the spectacular case would be over the instructions to the racially varied jury.

BITTER S?RUGGLE STILL TO COME OVER PAY CUTS Measure Will Give Congress Right to Veto President’s Actions Within 60 Days, With a major struggle due soon over the proposed Federal pay roll reduc- tions, the Government’s ritrenchment program was advanced today to the point of definite agreement by the spe~ cial House Economy Committee to rec- ommend giving President Hoover a lim- ited power to reorganize the bureaus and departments of the Government. He will not be authorized, under the ! plan, to do away with any existing functions, but merely to transfer and consolidate activities in the interest of economy and efficiency, his action be- ing subject within 60 days to veto by Congress. But the bill will direct him to recommend abolition of unnecessary tasks to Congress for its action. This decision brought near to com- pletion the omnibus retrenchment bill, @ measure which will save the Govern- ment roughly $200,000,006 next fiscal year if its many controversial proposals can survive opposition in House and Senate.
