- FARLEY,DUE OOV, MAY QU CABNET Adiournment Opens Way to Vigorous Party Campaign. Walker May Get Post. By the Associated Press. The imminent return of James A. Farley after a vacation in Hawail led to a renewal of reports today that he will relinquish the postmaster gen- eralship during the Autumn. Farley, en route east from Cali- fornia, is to reach the Capital next week to resume with full vigor the chairmanship of the Democratic Na- tional Committee. Party officers sald today that the adjournment of Congress opened the way for an acceleration of party ac- tivity and that possibly a decision might be reached for Farley to devote himself completely to getting the or- ganization ready for 1936. Walker Often Mentioned. A name frequently mentioned as & successor to Farley is that of Frank C. Walker of Montana and New York. Walker is head of the National Emer- | gency Council and the Division of Applications of the works program. | One close friend of Walker, though declining to be quoted by name, ex- pressed the belief today that Walker | has been offered the position. “He is still holding off on it until this works program gets going,” the friend added. November 1 Mentioned. “He is very much engrossed in that. There is a bare chance that he may have finished what he wants to do by November 1, but we are not sure. “Besides the postmaster generalship may not appeal to him. He is an organizer and that job is largely of & routine, administrative nature.” Farley returns as the National Com- mittee winds up a quiet but persistent campaign to raise funds. Quotas were assigned to State organizations, with September 1 as the deadline. Officers sald they expected to have enough money by that date to meet operating Robert R. Reynolds, North Carolina Senator, and his son Robert, jr., shown in Detroit yesterday, where they went to purchase an automobile trailer preparatory to beginning an 8500-mile tour of the United States. The Senator says the trip will cost only $100, and that he and his son will cook their meals. —Copyright, A. P.

Sloane parently caught their cabin plane as they started to glide in and caused it to spin. Known &s an adventurous flyer, Crane in the last five years has taken part in many daring pleasure and 'mercy flights. In February, 1934, he was marooned for a time on No Man's Land, an is- land off Marthas Vineyard, after taking supplies there which could not be taken by boat. Last December Crane was “grounded” for a time by the Massachusetts Motor Registry for violating air rules by flying too close to National Guard planes during the National Aviation day display at Bos- ton. Recently Remarried. Crane was divorced in June, 1934, and his former wife, Mrs. Dora Crane, given custody of two minor children. He recently remarried. Crane was the son of Joshua Crane, nationally known sportsman and bridge expert, now living in England. A war-time naval aviator in the North Sea Sumbarine Patrol, Crane had engaged in commercial aviation, had managed an airport and a flying service, and in recent years had been a salesman and charter flight pilot for an airplarie marketing agency. He had flown as pilot for many notables. HEIRESS REFUSES TO PROSECUTE MAN Merry Farhney Trapped Stranger After Letters of Ad- miration. By the Associated Press.

FARLEY SPEEDS EAST. Carries Message From Sinclair Urging Platform Plank, By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, August 28.—Post- master General James A. Farley was speeding away from a vacation in the West today, carrying with him, among other messages, one from California’s E. P. I. C.-Democrat, Upton Sinclair. Sinclair, the author-politician who garnered 879,000 Democratic votes as the party’s gubernatorial candidate last year, gave succinct advice to Far- ley at a meeting of so-called “left wing” Democrats here yesterday. He pointedly expressed hope that the Democratic presidential platform next year would include a produc- tion-for-use plank—his chief politi- cal theory—and added that President Roosevelt would “lose hundreds of thousands” of votes in this State if the plank were left out. Farley did not discuss the produc- tion-for-use proposal. Leaving by train last night, Farley was to spend today at Gramd Can- yon, Ariz, FORMER D. C.
