A revenue cruiser and native boats picked up 180 of the approximately 400 persons Those rescued had leaped into the sea fill Si Mil in Blast V'A vi V1 against the electoral college, preferring that the citizens vote directly for President, the popular vote to determine the result. They believe in the Presidential primary universally, although that would Inevitably result in a minority choice being nominated, with a great op portunity for "favorite sons" to carry their home state. They favor the adoption of the lame-duck amendment to the constitution, eliminating "lame-duck" Congresses, which Is almost universally agreed to, although Senate and House split over minor detail a few weeks ago. They believe cabinet members and other executive officials should ap pear on the floors of Congress to be questioned, according to the European plan, and they call for unemployment insurance, a snorter work week, more public works and action to stabilize employment and industry.

On the two questions most likely to be charged with political dynamite, agriculture or farm relief, and publlo utilities, the former championed by Senator Borah, the latter by Norris, definite proposals will be worked out later In the year, before Congress meets in December. If the conference was expecting to develop anything of startling political Import, it failed to materialize. 2 5 5 fj Yet It did emphasize that eco-nomlc question constantly bplng forced more and more to the fore, the shorter working week and the wider distribution of wealth, which a newspaperman, Robert P. Scripps, of the Scripps-Howard papers, summarized in this vital question: "Can the Institution of democracy survive the age of science and the ma- chine?" For more than one speaker hinted at the possibility that even America might be headed for a dictatorship. Mr.

Scripps' indictment was amplified as he said that when Increased per capita production "on the farm or in the shop means NOT plenty, but unemployment for mil lions of Intelligent and willing workers, then something is decided ly wrong with the system which permits this condition." And then this: "The fact is that all over the civi lized world, by reason of the application of science, potential per cap ita production Is increasing much more rapidly than population. My own hunch Is that if all of us are to keep busy and not starve that fact can Indicate only one way out. "First, shorter hours of labor than have ever been dreamed of. "Second, a much wider distribu tion of wealth through wages or otherwise to permit Increased lux ury consumption and increased lux ury employment."

HE HOUSE Norris Opposed to Hoover and Says Man Chosen on Raskob Platform Is Also Taboo (Continued from Page One) ment, agriculture and the return to representative government were the topics assigned to committees. Senator La Follette assured that the Independents were prepared to exercise their balance of power.

Thirteen Senators, Republicans and Democrats, were appointed to the committees. Senators Norris, Borah of Idaho; La Follette and Cutting, Republicans, head four of them, and Senator Costigan, Democrat, Colorado, is chairman of the other. The power discussion developed an attack on Owen D. Young, of New York, another Democratic Presidential possibility. Edward N.

Nockels, representing the American Federation of Labor, referred to him as "the guiding genius of the radio trust." Norris Hits at Electoral College Norris' speech provoked the first real demonstration in the conference. He pleaded for abolishment of the electoral college for selection of Presidents as the only way to make possible the election of an Independent candidate. "If that could happen." Norris said, "and the weary citizen and electorate could go into the booth and see the name of the man he wanted to vote for on the ticket, he would vote for him. "Then we could sweep this country in the next election If the Democratic party, as John J. Raskob wants it to do, should nominate a candidate as much under the control and Influence of the power trust as is Herbert Hoover." But Norris conceded "we have but little hope of electing a President who Is progressive.

"Just recently, the Democratlo national convention met and Johnnie Raskob made a speech. If that speech meant anything it was to manacle the Democratic party and carry it over to the Hoover bandwagon." Norris expressed fear that the "power trust" will control the two national conventions in 1932 and "by use of unlimited funds make false Issues, as they were trying to do yesterday, and then laugh at us." "Remember, my friends," he added, "even If we have a progressive Congress it is not going to be enough, for the engineer is still in the White House. What this country must have to get progressive legislation Is a President of the United States who Is himself a progressive." Mooney-Billingt Plea Passed Up A resolution calling on the gov ernor of California to release Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings, convicted of the Prepared ness day parade bombing, was not acted upon today by the progressive conference because it was not in the agenda, The resolution was offered by Arthur G.

Hays of New York city at the request of Gardner Jackson, a Washington journalist. It said "the continued imprison ment of Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings constitutes the outstanding example of the denials of fair trial to American citizens as guaranteed by the constitution and has become the greatest American Judicial scandal." It added "it is resolved that this conference urges upon the governor of California, James Rolph Im mediate release of victims of injustice." Senator Norris, Republican, Ne braska, chairman of the confer ence, said "while probably most all of us are agreeable to the resolu tion the conference was called for a particular program." He said the conference would be here forever" If it sought to act on all the propositions submitted. Norris added he would "be glad to sign a petition" asking for the release of these two men.
