R THREATENS SOCHLLT PARTY Fight on New York Unit May | Split Meeting at Buffalo. By the Associated NEW YORK, March 22.—A majo schism in the Socialist party impends on the meeting of the National Exec tive Committee this week end in Buf falo. ‘The committee will consider a mo- tion to revoke the charter of the New York organization, the largest unit in the Socialist party. The fight is between the dominant Right wing and a coalition of Leftist groups. | The New York party organization | for years has been controlled by the so-called “old guard” under the lead- | ership of Louis Waldman. Algernon | Lee, Julius Gerber and others. | Norman Thomas, national leader of the party, is aligned with the opposi- tion. SOCIALISTS SPURN LONG. | Party Also Cool Toward La Follette for ’36, Says Secretary. BUFFALO, N. Y., March 22 (f).— The Socialist party., hoping to unite farmers. organized labor and the un- employed in & new national political party, will have nothing to do with Senator Huey P. Long and his “share- the-wealth” movement, Paul Porter. Socialist National Labor secretary, said last night. The Socialist National Executive Committee will meet tomorrow. Sat- urday and Sunday to consider if the time is ripe to launch a third major party. Asked if the proposed Farmer-Labbr party might turn to Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin as a presi- dential candidate in 1936, Porter said not unless La Follette breaks with President Roosevelt. Porter believes that if a Farmer-Labor party is organ- zed, Norman Thomas, twice Socialist candidate for President, ar Mayor Daniel W. Hoan, for 18 years mayor of Milwaukee, will be the presidential candidate. 64 SPINAL MALADY CASES ON NEW LIST Reports Since January 1 Indicate Improvement in Death | Rate, Say Doctors. | t health office an- that it had received re- ports of 64 scattered cases of spinal meningitis since January 1. There have veen 20 deaths out of the 64 cases, Dr. James Cumming. chief of the contagious disease divi- sion of the Health Department, said. He said the percentage of deaths was not as large as in some former vears. Last year but one case was reported during the corresponding pericd. A | death was reported in that case. | ‘Health Department officials are watching the situation closely, but as vet has not regarded the situation seriously enough to consider any spe- cial measures of control | The staff of doctors and public school nurses of the Health Depart- ment has been instructed to pay close | attention to any suspected cases. ‘There were about 14 cases among transients during the last several months, and for a period of about tw weeks a number of the lodges were placed in quarantine. Officials do not have any evidence to prove it, but are | assuming that the unusual number | of cases to date this year may be at- tributed indirectly to the cases among transients housed in crowded quarters. Officials said 14 of the cases were among school children and that some additional cases were in children of pre-school age. Except in a few in-| stances, not more than one case has been found in any one school or in any one family. Most of the cases, officials said, were among the colored who have inadequate housing condi- tions. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IN EACH STATE SEEN Ohio Legislative Delegation on Visit Here Revives Dis- | cussion. By the Associated Press Creation of 48 State departments of Justice, patterned after the national department here, was forecast today for the not distant future by officials under Attorney General Cummings. ‘Ten legislators from Ohio were tour- ing the department with Attorney | General Cummings as guide at the | time. The Ohioans, five each from the | Senate and House, have been sent here | while their State Legislature is in | session considering plans for a State | Justice unit. A smaller delegation from Massa- chusetts made a similar visit several weeks ago. New York and California ‘ also are working for State depart- ments modeled on the national unit. | Aides of the Attorney General said Georgia, Pennsylvania and Nebraska | Legislatures also plan justice set-ups. Cummings believes the State de- partments may be an outgrowth of | the National Crime Conference hexe% last December.
