CONVENES Harold Stassen Heads Session of Determined Group With one eye cocked to the state scene dominated for the moment by the Farmer-Labor convention and the other eye on the national Republican picture, Minnesota's Younger Republicans assembled today in Hotel Lowry, St. Paul. Headed by Harold Stassen, Dakota county attorney, the new blood in the G.O.P. showed a firm determination to have a voice in the policies and leadership of the party in Minnesota.

The new generation, organized only within the past year, heard former Congressman Fred M. Bur-nell. Attica. assail the new deal and demand a reshuffling of the national policies.

Indications that Lieut.

Gov. Hjalniar Petersen will carry his fight for the gubernatorial nomination out of the indorse-ing committee onto the floor, and that he may attempt to drive through a resolution for Indorsement of two candidates for each office. Emergence of demand for a "dark horse" candidate for lieutenant governor. The platform in process of formation in committee was reported have been toned down both in substance and manner. For the co-operative commonwealth and state ownership planks was substitute da plank calling for "ultimate government ownership of monopolized industries." The trend of the platform was to place the burden socializing industry on the federal rather than on the state government.

To Oppose Sales Tax A new section of the platform would place the convention on rec ord as flatly opposed to the so- called Youngquist amendment to the state constitution to be submitted to statewide vote at the coming election. The amendment would prohibit levy of real estate taxes by the state. A substitute tax program was to be submitted, calling for increased income and inheritance taxes, and higher gross earnings, royalty and occupation taxes. The platform as prepared in committee, will contain a clause flatly opposing the retail sales tax.

Wolf's statement was mailed to the press. Invite Support "In discussion with many of the administrative, leaders in Washington, I found they all realized that President Roosevelt must receive the progressive and liberal vote regardless of party affiliation in Min-nesota," Wolf, recently returned from Washington, said. "It is necessary," he continued, "to invite the progressive and liberal element to support the president of the United States." Wolf's offer of a national alliance to the Minnesota third party came after the state F-L convention had been organized, and had heard an address from Gov. Floyd B. Olson in which the party chief was lukewarm toward third party affiliation.

Local organizers get 40 per cent.

That Clements, half owner of Prosperity Publishing publishers of the Townsend weekly, got $7,385 through dividends and salaries from it and a salary of $5,200 from OARP. That Mrs.

Thelma Clements, the co-founder's wife, drew a salary of $1,475 during 1935 from OARP as his "competent" legal secretary.

Later, he wrote to Cann and gave an address in Miami where Cann was directed to send the money. Postal inspectors then went to this address and arrested Danielson.
