Dawes Does Not Choose To Run For Vice Presidency; Hoover Watches Convention MEANS GIVEN 15 YEARS FOR FRAUD CHICAGO, June 15. (IP) The text of the administration prohibition plank adopted by the Republican resolutions committee tonight follows: The Republican party has always stood and stands today for obedience to and enforcement of the law as the very foundation of orderly government and civilization.

There can be no national security otherwise. The duty of the President of the United States and of the officers of the law is clear. The law must be enforced as they find it enacted by the people. To these courses of action we pledge our nominees. The Republican party is and always has been the party of the Constitution.

Nullification by non-observance by individuals or state action threatens the stability of government. While the Constitution makers sought a high degree of permanence, they foresaw the need of changes and provided for them. High Spots In CHICAGO, June 15. UP) The 1932 Republican platform, carrying the prohibition submission declaration and moulded about the policies of President Hoover was laid tonight before the national convention. The' caU for submission of a substitute for the 18th amendment to state "-conYentlonsj- a guarded departure from the rigid prohibition stand of 1928, stirred a wet and dry upheaval on the floor.

The usually dull national party platform declarations found another departure and surprise in the proposition finally submitted by the committee headed by James R. Garfield of Ohio a stinging attack on party irregularity in congress. It assailed "stubborn pride. of individual opinion" without mentioning names and asserted a majority of congressmen elected in the name of the. party have the "right and duty" to determine general policies of the party.

SENATE REFERS FARM AID BILL TO COMMITTEE Considers Dickinson Resolu tion to Investigate Campaign Expenditures. WASHINGTON, June 15. (-TV-In a sudden burst of speed.

Congress to- dajj partially removed a few legislative boulders from the pathway to adjournment, but rough going still lay ahead. The House passed and sent to the Senate the $2,400,000,000 bonus bill and the administration-sponsored plan for a system of home loan discount banks the last of President Hoover's reconstruction proposals. Meanwhile, the Senate disposed of th MrNan three-wav farm relief plan by referring It back to a com rritt A Leaders believed that killed It session. The Dickinson resolution for a special committee to Investigate this vear's residential ana senatorial campaign expenditures was taken up next lor debate. A -ruelllne "tug of war" develop ed between the House and Senate on the national economy bill, and a floor battle on relief was forecast oy decision of Senate Democrats to stand firm on the proposal for a public works bond Issue to which President Hoover Is opposed.

The bill for the creation of a home loan bank system passed the House without a record vote In the lull followed the storm over the bonus, which was approved 209 to 176. To Liberalize Credit Designed to liberalize credit with a view to putting new life Into the home construction Industry, the bill would create a system of 8 to 12 home loan banks capitalized at not less than $5,000,000 each to rediscount mortgages for building and loan associations and other financial Institutions. The government would provide capital from the reconstruction corporation up to a maximum of Further capital would be obtained by the sale of securities. The bill already has been approved by the Senate banking committee and Senator Watson Its sponsor In that branch has announced he will ask for its consideration before adjournment. All-Day Deadlock Conferees on the all-Important economv bill had expected to conclude their labors today, but found the Hoover furlough plan an insuperable hurdle and adjourned until tomorrow after an all-day deadlock.

House conferees insisted upon a pay reduction, rather than the furlough plan approved by the Senate. It was apparent the controversy would have to be settled by a new vote In either Wnn nr Senate Decision to stand by their bond issue proposal was reached by the special Senate Democratic relief committee which framed the pending two billion dollar unemployment aid measure. 'JTmmlttee rejected proposals to eliminate the bond Issue section In order to speed consideration of the bill. The result Is the Issue will be fought on the floor where administration senators plan to seek an agreement removing the public works provision. Meanwhile, the House apparently was waiting for the Senate to act on relief and It was doubtful whether anything would be done at that end of the capitol for the present.

Acting Speaker Ralney announced the House would take up tomorrow the Fulmer resolution authorizing an additional 40.000,000 bushels of wheat and 500,000 bales of cotton for distribution by the Red Cross to the needy. The bill was made the pending business of the Senate late today. The Dickinson resolution was laid aside after Senator Townsend objected to taking up In the absence of several members a motion to reconsider the action of the audit committee in cutting the committee's funds from $50,000 to $,000.

CHICAGO, June 15.

The request to the United States in the event it Is decided on will be presented to the conference in the form of a resolution, wnetner sucn drastic action would be advisable was the topic of debate tonight at numerous private gatherings of the delegates.

Aviation Pilot H. A. Sells.

Physicians at the naval hospital to which he was removed immediately after the crash, conceded him a chance of recovery. His injuries include compound fractures of the bones in his left leg, fractures of the collar bone and skull, and lacerations of the face. Falling nose first, the plane's engine made a round depression in the ground about three feet deep from which the plane rebounded to finish up on its side a total wreck. Rodd in the front cockpit was crushed to death.

A freak of the accident was that after the plane's nose struck the ground both occupants were thrown clear as it rebounded and rolled over.

RESUBMISSION PLANK IS RETAINED INTACT Stirring Scenes Precede and Follow Decision Reached Early This Morning. CHICAGO STADIUM, June 16. (AP) The party platform, including the prohibition submission plank was adopted by acclamation by the Republican conven tion early today after the repeal substitute had been voted down. The convention adjourned at 1:17 A. M.

until 11 A. M. By EDWARD J. DUFFY (Associated Press Staff Writer) CHICAGO STADIUM, June 16. (T hursday) (AP) In the most sensational political conflict over prohibition since it took effect 12 years ago, the Republican convention early this morning shouted "no" to submission of a repeal amendment.

After more than four hours sharp debate, it accepted the report of the resolutions committee under which the ticket to be named later today will go to the country with a recommendation that the people will ba allowed to vote on a proposition to modify the national dry laws. Stirring scenes preceded and followed the decision, reached at 1 :13 A. M. Wild Disorder Speakers on both sides had aroused the thousands in the galleries and the delegates to cheers and yells of derision, with emphatic arguments that resounded throughout the massive stadium. At several points, when boos from the galleries made it impossible for James R.

Garfield to go on with the case for the proposal of his platform committee, stern warnings were given that adjournment would be taken unless order Senator Bingham of Connecticut and Nicholas Murray. Butler of New York set up repeated currents of cheering with their insistence on repeal, with the visitors that filled the seats around the convention hall providing the volume. Secretary Mills joined Garfield as the principal spokesman for the majority platform report. Viva Voce Vote The tote for the majority report was adopted by a 681 to 472 vote. Immediately thereafter, the entire report of the platform committee was adopted on a viva voce-vote.

Thereupon the delegates crowded wearily scheduled to return to the stadium at 11 o'clock this morning to renominate President Hoove and barring unforeseen developmentsto place Charles Curtis again on the ticket with him. The prohibition decision represented victory for what the Hooverltes have been seeking. At the last minute, John L. Me-Nab the nominator of President Hoover at the convention four years ago this month said it was a question whether these delegates would support the President or not. This (Continued on Page 11) it was a great help, Firestone's statement said.

"However, due to the fact that prohibition is not being successfully enforced and Is working in many ways to the public detriment, especially resulting in disrespect for law. and order. I have come to-the conclusion that the 18th amendment should repealed. "I sincerely hope that both Republican and Democratic parties will adopt a repeal plank In their platforms, thus taking this prohibition quesilon out of politics as it is obscuring from the country the rl. vital, economic issues of today, which so Dadly need our best thought and our unselfish and undivided effort and energy" Article limits the proposals of amendments to two methods: (1) Two-thirds of both houses of Congress may propose amendments; or (2) On application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states a national convention shall be called by Congress to propose amendments.

Thereafter ratification must be had in one of two ways: (1) by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states; or (2) by conventions held In three-fourths of the several states. Congress is given power to determine: the mode of ratification. Refererrdums without- constitutional sanction cannot furnish a decisive answer.

WASHINGTON. June 15 UP) Charles Gates Dawes, long time public servant, today shut the door In the face of demands from Chicago that he run again for vice president and at the same time relinquished the presidency of the gigantic reconstruction finance corporation. Dawes plans to leave for his Chicago home on Friday to pick up again the many business connections which he has neglected, except for fleeting intervals, since the United States entered the World War fifteen years ago. As the vigorous speaking former vice president and one-time Ambassador to Great Britain was issuing a statement saying he "could not accept the nomination if made" President Hoover continued to keep in close touch with developments at the Chicago convention which will nominate him for another term in the White House. The Chief Executive continued silent, however as the resolutions committee struggled with a prohibition plank.

The demonstration for Mr. Hoover in Chicago was received at the White House by radio but there was no indication that he heard it. His office is not radio equipped.

June 15. UP) A North Carolina Suoreme Court de cision today brought the shadow of prison bars perceptibly closer to uixe Lea, tall Tennesseean who has been a power in his native state for a quarter of a century. By a unanimous decision the state's highest tribunal found there had been no error In the conviction of the Nashville publisher and one time United States senator, along with his son, Luke, and Wallace B. David, former Asheville, N. banker, of a conspiracy to defraud the Central Bank and Trust Company, Asheville, N.

now defunct, of approximately one million dollars. General Albert Cox, Raleigh attorney for Colonel Lea, Indicated, however, the fight in behalf of Lea would be continued. Shortly after the opinion of the court had been made public he declared that "in all probability" an appeal will be taken to the U. S. Supreme Court.

One other alternative step in their effort to avoid serving the sentences Imposed by Judge M. V. Barnhlll in Buncombe County superior court last August 25, remained open to the defendantsa motion for a rehearing by the state supreme court. Colonel Lea faces a sentences of six to ten years imprisonment in states prison. Davis, who was president of the Central Bank and Trust Company, was given a sentence of four to six years on the conspiracy count and five to seven years In another case, not involving the Tennesseans, for publishing a false report of the bank's condition.

This conviction was also upheld by the court today. Young Lea was given an alternative sentence of $25,000 fine, plus costs, or two to four years in prison. After the Jury had returned its verdict, Colonel Lea made a strong plea to the court in behalf of his son, asking that he not be stamped with thfl "stigma of a felony" and assuming personal responsibility for all actions charged against the youth.

"The Lindbergh case," Justice Proctor said before pronouncing judgment, "brought out all the best In the hearts of men.

but also gave the opportunity to some to display the weakness and wickedness of human nature.

"The Northwest will be very much worse off without this bill than with it." hotly replied Glass, who urged his measure be taken up next. "They'll find that out, too, before winter ensues."

Mrs. McCormlck's pronouncement followed by nine days the now famous statement by her brother, John D. Rockefeller, that he had turned his back on prohibition and favored repeal. Whereas he offered no substitute plan, however, Mrs. McCormick sketched the outlines of a government control program.

"The government should have the right to control the quantity and quality of alcohol manufactured, and the method of its sale and distribution, and the government should receive the revenues from its sale."

(J?) In a brief, blunt statement, Harvey S.

Firestone, Sr, chairman of the board of the Firestone Tire and Rubber who has favored prohibition since its inception, today declared for repeal of the 18th amendment.

He offered no substitute for the present regulation of liquor.
