WASHINGTON. April 18 The Chi
cago shock has left the top demo
cratic moguls with a suspicion that
the Kelly - Nash
machine may
soon be missing
on all cylinders.
It seems they
know far more
about that than
has been adver
tised. For Instance,
there Is one Tom
Courtney on
whom they have
their eye. Mr.
rftiipt.nmf 1a IhA
raul Mullon tt8te., ',ttorney
Jn Chicago, a lamb who was marked
Jot slaughter by the machine of
which he was a member.
The boys around headquarters have
heard that Mr. Courtney gc? wind
of a meeting some time back at
which the Nash-Kelly alate was pick
ed. Although he was not invited,
he sent word over to the general
effect that he understood the meet
ing was going on and wished it well,
or at least something which rhymes
with well.
Of course, an ordinary state's at
torney generally has enough on most
of his own machine crowd to hang
them. But Mr. Courtney hanged no
one, at least not openly. Officially,
be "remained out" of the primary
fight, which la the polite way of say
ing he did a little undercover work
for Governor Horner.
The big shot are saying that, if
the Nash-Kelly machine goes, it will
be supplanted by "a half dozen smart
Irishmen who saw the wind and rode
with It." Among -those present, It
is said, will be Mr. Courtney and
Governor Horner.
The New Dealers may be whistling
in the dark, but they assert that the
upset will not be disastrous for them
in November. They say they kept
out of the situation, but perhaps not
enough out.
All the boys , had forgotten about
Governor Horner since December.
When President Roosevelt spoke
there then In the stockyards. Messrs.
Kelly and Nash pushed Horner out
In left field throughout the presi
dent's stay.
They say the final blow which
hurt Messrs. Nash and Kelly was the
mayor's attempt to put Chicago on
eastern standard time. Down-staters
do not want their time tinkered
Kith.
Dead men vote In congress under
certain conditions. In the house, a
committee can be discharged from
consideration of a bill If S18 members
sign a petition. Under a ruling by
the late Speaker Ralney, a member's
signature, which Is equivalent to a
vote, is effective after his death.
The Fraairr-Lemke inflation bill
petition contains the names of two
deceased members, the late Wesley
Lloyd of Washington and Charles
Truax.
Only those who know the etub-fkc
atmosphere of congress will appreci
ate how unctubby was the refusal of
the house to appropriate money for
Senator Black's legal defense. Such
a thing waa unheard of among con-
gressmen. Rarely before have they
failed to rally to the assistance of a
member against outside attack, even
when the member has been wrong.
The explanations for the home
, rote are many. But two are enough:
(1) That the aiO.OOO was to be paid
to Black's former law partner, which
gave the proposed payment a person
si slant, and (31 If any congress
man's law partner Is going to get
10.000, a lot of congressmen prefer
that it not be Senator Black's.
However, Senator Black's law part
ner will not waste away even If the
appropriation Is finally blocked. His
payment will be at the rate of 300 a
month, the maximum allowed under
the law. for Investigators, counsel,
etc., for committees.

AND DROUTH FEAR
CHICAGO, April 18. (AP) Au
thoritative trade forecast of further
rapid and permanent crop losses
southwest and west accompanied
material new upturns of wheat val
ues today.
Serving especially as a basla for
the pesslmlatic forecast In regard
to crops were official predictions of
rising temperatures In Kansas and
Nebraska. Continued entire lack of
moisture relief for drought stricken
areas added to market uneasiness
relative to crop prospects.
Taken as significant also of high
er prices and ominous European
conditions was word that although
a good wheat crop was expected In
Italy this season, Italy was buying
afloat stocks.
Under such circumstance, the
dollar-a-bushel standard for wheat
values In Chicago wa soon com
pletely eclipsed. - the market going
well above 91.10 for May contracts.
New crop deliveries rose even faster
than May, with gains at' one stage
approximating 3 cents. July delivery
climbed to the torn post price level
since last autumn.

British Premier Appeals To

League of Nations Fails.
(By United Press)
Europe's hopes for an immediate
arrangement for permanent peace
were dimmed by developments Sat
urday. They Included the following:
League negotiators at Oeneva ad
mitted their Inability to arrange peace
between Italy and Ethiopia, reveal
ing that Mussolini demanded recog
nition of his right to retain the
territory ho has conquered In Ethi
opia. Recognising that this would
undermine the entire foundation of
the league, the negotiators threw
up their hands and referred the
problem back to the council.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
In a speech appealed to Adolf Hitler
to drop his dictatorial tactics and
cooperate with the other nations for
peace, referring to him as the key
man who can prevent war. Baldwin
Intimated his belief that universal
agreement to apply military sanc
tions against a future aggressor
would be the alternative.
Rome continued with Its determ
ination to conquer Ethiopia and a
major, battle was reported around
Harar on the southern front, presag
ing an early advance on Addis

Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin ap

Europe.
Baldwin also Indicated strongly
that Britain would take no coercive
action against Germany which
might lead to war, but dropped a

ture solution of such a crisis as
has now arisen would be Joint action
by all powers to threaten an ag
gressor with military sanctions.
Addressing the Bcwdley conserva
tive association In his Worcester
shire constituency, Baldwin said the
world still has some way to go be
fore attaining collective security,
"which never will work unless all
nations who participate In It Are
prepared simultaneously to threaten
with military sanctions any future
aggressor."
Declaring that "the next fw
months will b vital" to war or
peace. Baldwin appealed to Hitler
to "lift the dictatorship which In
the long run will bring more perils
In Its trail than It removes." He
pleaded with Hitler "who is In a
better position to do so than any
other living man In Europe" to help
banish the specter of war 1 Eu
rope. "He has It In his 'power, Bald
win said. "God grant that he will
have the will to do It. If he Is will
ing, nothing that Britain can do
will be left undone to help him.
"I am convinced that tf Hitler has
the will; there la not a people In
Europe but would cooperate with
him. They look towards war with
horror."

DEAD
OF
WASHINGTON. April 18. (AP)
Louis McHcnry Hows, long the po
litical advisor of President Roosevelt,
died tonight at 11 o'clock.
Mr, Howe, who also was secretary
to the president, died peacefully in
his sleep at the Naval hospital after
having been 1)1 for more than
year.
Death was caused by heart and
chest complications.
Howe's Illness was so serious more
than a year ago, while confined to
his room at the White House whero
he lived after coming to Washing
ton with the president, that hope
was abandoned.
The 64-year-old veteran strategist
plucklly fought for life, however,
living for a long period under an
oxygen tent. Physicians were amazed
by his apparent recovery.
In August laat year, whon White
House repnlra necessitated the elec
tricity and plumbing cut off, he was
removed to Nnval hospital.
President Roosevelt made num
ber of visits to the hospital to chat
w!(h his old friend, the last only
few days ago,
Howe, like other members of the
White House secretariat, was a form
er newspaperman. For 28 years he
had guided the political destiny of
the president who was his best
friend. When Roosevelt took over the
White House a room was reserved for
the wizened little man with the keen
mind whose opinion the president
valued above all others.
Smalllshy and cadaverous. Howe
quit his Job with the old New York
Herald In 1910 to throw his fortunes
with a rising young lawyer with the
magical name of Roosevelt,
Howe was credited with first seeing
In Roosevelt material of presidential
stature. He docldcd 32 years ago that
the White House waa the eventual
goal of the brilliant young legislator
and In 1033 ne saw his objective at
tained.
Almost Immediately however, Howe
was stricken 111 and for most of
Roosevelt's term he kept to his study
or prowled about the mansion often
popping In on press conferences. He
was on the terms of the utmost In
timacy with the Roosevelt family and
the children called him "Louie."
