The son. Stephen F. Austin, was the founder of Texas capital city.

Mayor W. L. Edmonds said an attempt by Thurlow B. Weed of Austin to exhume the body had been blocked by official action of the city council at an emergency session. The mayor and.City Marshall C.

J. Richardson discovered the attempted exhumation and ordered the grave restored to its original condition. Weed, who said he represented the Texas historical and landmark commission, asserted he had authorizations from descendants of Stephen F. Austin to take charge of Moses Austin's body.

"I came down to see the country," he said. "I'm a poor little western boy who went East and lost all the virtues of the West and acquired all the vices of the East. Now boys, give me a break." Then New York's mayor paused to discuss politics with reporters, predicting a new realignment of liberals and conservatives in 1940, asserting there would be no third party. "There will not be a third party," LaGuardia. said.

"Which party ns all depends on tilt candidate. One party will come out with an ultraconservative and stand-pat candidate. "The other group will have an ultra progressive candidate and (then they'll fight it out." Progressive To Win "The party that produces the progressive candidate will win," La- Guardia predicted. The backbone of the progressive party, he said, would be mid-western farmers and "necessity will make them liberals." They will be joined by small business men and laborers, he predicted. "Professional politicians," he said, "will be pushed into the cinserva- tive party."
