Staff Correspondent of The Star CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 13—John Hamilton, militant and youthful com- mitteeman from Kansas, is today the new chairman of the Republican Na- tiopal Committee. He is the selection of Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas, the presidential nominee of the G. O. P., to conduct the campaign of 1936. Hamilton will go with the members of a specially elected subcommittee of the National Committee to Topeka day. This special committee is em- powered to elect all other officers of the National Committee.

DETROIT, June 13.—Fourteen men were arraigned today on charges of notification ceremonies Did Not Meet Father. Busy i his office, the Governor did not go down to the station to meet his father.

Mitchell of Inde- pendence and a group of the Gov- ernor’s home-town friends were ex- pected at the Governor's office about midafternoon to tender rnngralula-i tions. Mayor Mitchell said the noti- | fication would not be discussed unless | the Governor brought up the question. | More than a score of newspaper men | crowded about the Governor's desk for | the morning press conference.

M. Hamiltca, leader of his forces at Cleveland, as chairman of the Re- publican National Committee. “He is a hard fighter, but he always fights fairly,” Landon said, “—as Kansans who have fought with him or against him will be equally ready to verify.

He has courage and judgment and the mettle of his vigorous leader- ship has already been tested.” In uttering the challenge for an im- mediate campaign of action, Landon stepped out of the reticent role he | played through most of the pre-con- ‘vention period. Surrounded by reporters, who in recent weeks had heard him frequent- ly “decline to comment,” the Governor leaned back in the chair behind his | big desk and replied: “Sure, I'll invade the enemy ter- ritory—if any. This is going to be a Teal campaign from now on.” Uses Easy Vernacifar, ©miling, Landon puffed on a straight-stem pipe, applying a match et intervals, invited questions and dropped into an easy vernacular.

He was & member of the Seventy-third Con- gress. Foulkes had served part of an 18- month sentence for conspiracy to golicit money in post office buildings for political organizations.

Warrants for the 15 were obtained Friday after Dayton Dean, the ter- rorists’ “executioner,” told McCrea of taking part with other picked gunmen in unsuccessful searches for both Kingsley and Voisine. The prosecutor said Hepner and Clarence C. Frye, also held as a member of the organiza- tion's arson squad, corroborated Dean’s statement. Believes Plot Abandoned. Dean has confessed killing Charles A. Poole, young W. P. A. worker whose | body, discovered on a country road a month ago today, set authorities on the trail of the masked night riders. Kingsley said he believed the Black Legion abandoned its plot against him when Government agents were given secrets of the organization by an un- willing member. Kingsley said a man told him two years ago that he had been forced te join the Black Legion at the point | of a gun, and revealed details of the | fearsome ritual. He said he advised him to tell his story to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Later, Kingsley said, his informant told him he had warned Black Legion officers he had disclosed their secref “Evidently they concluded that with the Department of Justice knowing of their plans they didn't dare try | to kill me,” Kingsley said. 2,500 Demand Extinction.

CONFEREES ON TAX STILL FAR APART Enter Fourth Day of Delib- erations in Effort to Seek Compromise. By the Assoctated Press. Major obstacles to final action on the tax bill still remained to be overcome today as House and Sen- ate conferces went into the fourth day of deliberation in an attempt to reach a compromise. Although the conferees declined to discuss the progress of closed meet- ing proceedings, there were indica- tions that the chief points at issue would not be taken until next week. Whether this would delay plans for the adjournment of Congress at the end of the week could not be determined. Leaders had expected the tax bill to be ready for final ac- tion when Congress reconvened Mon- | day Chairman Doughton of the House | Ways and Means Committee, who was not in Washington yesterday, was expected to return for today's ses- sion along with several Republican conferees who attended their party’s convention at Cleveland. Tentative agreement has been reached on many minor provisions | of the measure and most such sec- tions probably will be disposed of to- aay. Still Far Apart. The House and .Senate still are far apart, however, on the question of taxing undistributed corporate profits. Senate conferees were ready to make a last stand for their flat 7 per cent levy, but the House provision for a graduated tax ranging up to 42!, per cent has administration support, which may be a deciding factor. An 80 per cent levy on refunded and unpaid A. A. A. processing taxes was agreed upon by both House and Sen- ate and only minor questions of ad- ministration of this so-called “wind- fall” tax remained to be settled. Meanwhile Chairman Wheeler of the Senate Interstate Commerce Com- mittee told reporters he expects the | new Guffey-Vinson coal control bill | to be acted on by the House Monday after completion of hearings today. Proponents of the bill, including John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, and Charles O'Neill, president of the Eastern Bituminous Coal Producers’ Association, were to give testimony today. Provisions Challenged. Bituminous coal producers and a representative of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers yesterday challenged the constitutionality of the bill, designed to replace the original Guffey coal act, which was- inval- idated by the Supreme Court. Asserting the bill would provide “price-fixing in its most obnoxious form,” James A. Emery, general coun- sel of the Manufacturers’ Association, told the committee “hasty enactment of superficial regulative legislation, profoundly affecting a great fuel in- dustry * * * would do more to re- tard recovery than anything else. “The proposal does not meet but re- sists the Supreme Court opinion in both the decision invalidating the measure for which it is a substitute,” Emery said, “as well as the decision invalidating the N.

THREE RECENT VICTIMS BELIEVED POISONED Early Reports of Accidental Deaths Erased by Police After Investigations. By the Assoctated Press. | SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 13.— | Search for a solution of poison deaths near here turned today to the tencment district of the mill town of Ludlow. & There, detectives from State police headquarters at Boston began the task of interviewing survivors of two men whose sudden deaths started an investigation of what the town's trial justice, George B. Haas, termed a “gigantic insurance racket.” Before them was the request of Justice Haas that they investigate “not alone the three recent deaths, but nearly 50 suspicious ones in the past 15 years.” “At the present time” declared State Detective Lieut. William Puzzo, “we are confining our activities to a probe of the deaths of Frank Hal- gas and Frank Kroll of Ludlow and Jacob Znoj of Chicopee—all within the past three months.” “We are looking over their insur- ance records,” he¢ continued, “in an effort to determine definitely whether they were slain. Poison Dosages Found. “A toxicologist's examination re- vealed similar dosages of poison in each of their bodies. “We know nothing officially of any of the other deaths.” “But I will say this,” Puzzo added, | “Judge Haas is very familiar with | Ludlow, and knows what is going | on over there.” as trial justice in Ludlow. He has | criminal jurisdiction over minor of- | fenses and can impose fines up to $50 | and jail sentences up to six months. | One of his duties is to preside at inquest hearings. “We have learned that outsiders carried heavy insurance on two of the | victims,” Puzzo asserted, “and we are | concentrating our investigation along | that line.” He declined to amplify that statement. How They Died. Halgas, 50, was found April 4, lying in the street, apparently kilied by & hit- and-run driver. Kroll tumbled down a flight. of stairs to his death at his boarding house May 25. Znoj. 40, died April 22, apparently of a heart attack. Justice J. J. Kirby held an inquest vesterday into the death of Znoj. Seven witnesses were heard. Spec- tators were barred from the court room. Witnesses' testimony was kept secret. His report will be filed soon at Springfield. Still pending is the inquest into the death of Kroll. That comes under the jurisdicjion of Judge Haas. All three victims—Halgas, Kroll and Znoj—were of Polish extraction. In recent years trial justices have been supplanted in many instances by District Court justices, whose pow- ers, the State attorney general's office said, are much greater under Massa- chusetts law. A trial justice may, under the State law, find men guilty and impose sen- tence “in certain cases,” an assistant attorney general explained. It is an office, he added, seldom found outside rural districts, and there are few justices now holding that title in Massachusetts. POSSE PRESSES HUNT FOR MISSING BABY Searchers Concentrate Along River Near Monkton Seeking 18- Month-0ld Child. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, June 13.—Search was resumed today for Joan Fuhrman, 18-months-old girl who strayed away or was abducted from a spot near her Baltimore County home yes- terday. A posse of about 200 pressed the hunt until midnight, but found no trace of the child. The searchers concentrated along the Little Gun- powder River, near Monkton. Joan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin O. Fuhrman, jr, was last seen about 4 p.m. yesterday, near the platform of the Monkton railroad station. When she was missed, neigh- bors and members of the family searched along the tracks and in nearby woods and fields for three hours before calling police.

WIMBLEDON, England, June 13.— Dorothy Round, former Wimbledon champion, defeated Helen Jacobs, 6—3, 6—3, today and put England only one match short of wresting the International Wightman Tennis Cup from the United States for the first time in six years. The victory gave England a 3-2 lead in the four-out- of-seven match series. It was the four-times American champion’s second straight defeat in the series. Yesterday she was beaten 12—10, 6—1 by Kay Stammers, who today lost the opening singles en- counter to Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline, Mass., 6—3, 6—4. As the result of Miss Jacobs’ down- fall it became the task of Caroline Babcock of Los Angeles to keep alive America’'s hopes of keeping the cup for the sixth straight year. She met Ruth Mary Hardwick, England's 12- ranking player, in the final singles and apparently the crucial match of the series.
