Fight to Floor for Straight
Repeal of Dry Law Farm
Relief Plank Is Drawn
CHICAGO, June 28. (AP) The
Democratic platform making commit
tee neared a decision today on the
prohibition Issue which promises a
convention furore paralleling the one
It caused at the Republican conclave.
The majority of the Roosevelt-dominated
committee plans to propose a
plang favoring submission of a re
peal amendment to state conventions.
This will not settle the quarrel,
for committee forces led by Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts Intend to
carry their fight for a straight-out
repeal plank and modification of the
Volstead act to the convention floor.
Farm Relief Drawn
The committee virtually completed
the farm relief plank.
It will make no specific endorse
ment of either the controversial
equalization fee or export debentures
principles of aid.
The declaration does promise con
trol of the surplus, crop and preser
vation of American markets for the
American producer. It also condemns
the farm board for speculation In
the grain market.
Claiming almost a majority of
votes In the convention, the wet
forces under Senator Walsh of Mas

of the repeal plank to be pressed.

It took yesterday, the committee also
decided to recommend the conven
tion adopt Its platform before nom
inating candidates for president and
vice-president.
The committee opened the way for
adoption by the next convention of
a plan for abolutlon of the century
old two-thirds rule. It recommended
the 1036 convention abrogate the
rule, but specifically stipulated It
would not be bound by the recom
mendation. EMPLOYER, SELF
PULLMAN, Wash.. June 28. (AP)
Whitman county authorities sought
today to explain why Ernest Burden,
42, a farm worker, shot and killed
Archie Haynes, 45, his former em
ployer, and then killed himself near
here.
Friends of the Haynes family, pio
neers of this region, said Burden had
been discharged by Mrs. Haynes and
at that time had threatened to kill
both Haynes and his wife. The cause
of the discharge, they said, was Bur
den's attention toward 13-year-old
Virginia Haynes.
Burden returned yesterday from
Moscow, Idaho, where he had found
employment, and borrowed a .30-.30
rifle from a neighbor. He found
Haynes repairing a fence and shot
him.

WASHINGTON. June 28. (AP)
The senate today adopted and sent to
the house a resolution under which
the government would lend bonus-
seeking veterans here the money for
transportation back to their homes.

record vote within ten minutes after
it had been reported favorably by the
finance committee. There was little
discussion. i
The legislation provides that any i
honorably discharged veteran of the
world war temporarily quartered here !
may receive from the administrator
of veterans' affairs railroad trans-!
portatlon to his home up to July 15,
and travel subsistence at the rate of
75 cents per day. The resolution
originally provided $2 per day but the
committee reduced It.
The money would constitute a loin

would be deducted from the amount
payable to the veteran on .his adjust

Endorsement of Senator B. L.
Eddy's proposal for a special session
of the legislature to consider a bill
providing for installment payment of
motor licenses was received today by
Mr. Eddy from Charles K. Spauldlng,
formerly a member of the state
highway commission.
Spauldlng declared that he had
discussed the proposal at a Orange
meeting where membera stated that
If some- plan of .license fee relief
could not be devised, they would
drive their cars and trucks anyway
until arrested.
The plan, Mr. Spauldlng states,
may cost the state more money, but
would provide a form of relief com
parable with emergency employment
on highways and Is "Just ss good as
the way we squandered money for
the purpose of providing such class
of labor."
