Southern Republicans quickly went into action. The credentials committee seated a mixed delegation from South Carolina headed by "Ticlcss Joe" Tolbert. The all white southern faction found their South Carolina group planned a minority report in an effort to seat J. C. Hambrieht's faction.

Hambright defeated Tolbert four years ago. All of the minority reports were loaded with racial differ ences but by maneuvering adroitly.

i v.vu i Griefs Continued pagvlhrce THE WINNER Hoover Speech Stirs Up Enthusiasm PLATFORM DRAFTED Landon Spokesman Carries a White Flag to Sen. Borah Convention Hall, Cleveland, June 10. (P) With a platform drafted at fast, and huge blocs of delegate votes tumbling for Landon, the Republican national convention tonight devoted an hour to an old-time welcome to Herbert; Hoover. The former president stirred the conclave into its first prolonged demonstration tonight when he stepped before it to assail the New Deal as a "muddle" and demand it be ousted by a "holy crusade for liberty." Behind the tumultous scene the final course of the convention itself rapidly was shaped. One after another, the lion's share of the huge New York and Pennsylvania delegate blocs tvere thrown tn Governor Landon.

Kansas leaders loudly proclaimed that settled it. Even as Hoover talked and the delegates paraded in his honor, a weary platform subcommittee put the final period on the report. Later the full committee was called to work on into the night toward final approval. From the subcommittee's draff, it appeared some degree of liai-mony had been attained between the Landonites and Idaho's lion, Senator Borah. Borah's followers were pleased at a decision to declare for "sound money" and, make no mention whatever of the gol'd standard.

They also liked a subcommittee no world court dec laration, reversing a Republican tenet of many years. It was revealed a monopoly plank had been adopted which Borah had not even seen, although he himself was working on one. The result remained to be seen. The appearance of- Hoover touched off the first prolonged demonstration of the convention. As he stepped onto the platform, wearing his usuaf high collar and a conservative dark gray suit, the delegates let loose a 15 minute period of shouting and parading.

For the first time the state stand ards were seized and carried around the huge hall. Again when he finished, the delegates got out of hand. For 38 minutes they jammed the aisle; and filled the hall with shouts of we want Hoover" and all sorts of side antics. But the former president had feft almost as soon as his last word was spoken, and boarded a train for New York. Chairman Snell adjourned the session at 10.08 p.

even under torture, but the truth is that there has been a defeatist atmosphere about this year's G. O. P. convention here. There has been plenty of shouting and the Landon boosters have put on a really fine line of ballv-hoo but the other aspirants for the Presidential nomination, although they have growled considerably, have not been very noisy.

There also has been or less hopeful oratory, but with it there has been an undertone of warning that this is the tirnrj for the G. O. P. to make good there may not be enough of it ifl ever to hold another convention. And there is no use trying to deny it.

Former President Hitter in His Attack URGES "LIBERTY' Says New Deal Has Delayed National Recovery Cleveland. June 10. (A1) In a sharp excoriation of the New Deal before the Republican National Convention, Herbert Hoover tonight compared it with the "March of Socialist and Fascist Dictatorships" in Europe and called for the American people to enter upon a "holy crusade ror liberty." Addressing "Republicans and fellow Americans." the former President and titular leader of his party concluded his address: "Stop the retreat lead the attack to retake, recapture and reman the citadels of liberty.

"Thus can America be preserved. Thus can the peace, plenty and security be reestablished and expanded. Thus can the opportunity, the inheritance, and the spiritual future of your children be And thus you will win the gratitude of posterity and the blessing of Almighty God." Recalling that the European dictatorships and "their tion of liberty did iiot set not with guns and armies," Hoover described what he termed their activities and added: "If there are any items in this stage in the march of European collectivism the New Deal not imitated it must have been an oversight." "But at this point," he continued. "This parallel with Europe halts at least for the present. The American people should thank Almighty God for the constitution and the Supreme Court.

They should be grateful to a courageous press." Asserting the New Deal has "delayed recovery." he contended if continued its policies will result in "the tears and anguish of universal bankruptcy and distress." He paid his respects to what he called "Mother Hubbard economics." "the economic muddle" and declared the "gospel of class hatred has been preached from the White House." "The little prophets of the New Deal." he said, "have produced proposals" which have "enabled the New Deal to take a few hundred thousand earnest party workers to the promised land." "It takes the rest of us for a ride into the wilderness of unemployment," he added.
