The bluff, rosy cheeked aircorps chief was summoned after Woodring defended his decision to force competitive bidding on the 100 1 planes procurable under the PWA allotment.

Things look right about the house, and after standing around awhile, 1 crawled in thru a window, walked quietly into the bedroom and found my wife and this man asleep.

"I stood at the foot of the bed in a trance. I believe my eyes. The room was dark and I just stood know how long maybe an hour, maybe several hours. "Finally, I stepped to the wsdl and turned on the electric light. McCrary jumped up and started for the window.

The term is for four years. Phil Tomek of David City is believed by democrats to have the best show for election in the committee to succeed State Chairman J. J. Thomas, who is to resign because of official duties on the federal reserve board. Many democrats say that Mullen has no notion of quitting his practice in Washington to run for United States senator, but that he may back Congressman Burke for senator.

Former (governor Neville is believed by some to be choice for national committeeman. Ritchie and Governor Bryan are mentioned as possible successors to Mullen. Governor Bryan has made no indication that he has any designs on the place him.self or that he has any one he desires to back for the po.sition. Ritchie some time ago wrote to committeemen for proxies and Mullen is alleged to have been looking after proxies. Bryan forces may or may not insist upon proxies being barred from voting.

In addition to Neville for com- mitteeman the names of John Byrnes of Columbus and Francis Matthews of Omaha have been mentioned as possible Mullen candidates. From the Bryan camp may come the names of Harley Morehead of Omaha, Seymour Smith and Gene Sullivan of Omaha. C. L. Clark of Lincoln, state vice chairman, has been tioned for both state chairman and committeeman.

STEVENS WEEPS AS TALKS WITH MOTHER (Continued from Page 1.) faces a first degree murder charge for the slaying of his wife. Held Tuesday night in the city jail here, Stevens urged officers to permit him to visit the bakery to take an Inventory so he could file an Income tax return. He said there were a number of important matters at the bakery which needed his attention and pleaded with officers to take him there for a brief visit so he could go over his affairs. Sheriff Salisbury, by court order, is operating the bakery temporarily. The sheriff said it was known as one of the finest bakeries in western Nebraska and enjoyed a good business.

Housed in a new brick building, it is equipped with modem machinery and fixtures. Salisbury said Stevens told him the DeRolfs will get that bakery DeRolf had loaned Stevens some money for his business. "As soon as this is over get the money and straighten that bakery Stevens told the sheriff. Busines.s at the bakery has held upwell, Salisbury said, but is not as good as it was before the double slaying because there is no salesman in the territory pushing bread and other products. Stevens formerly traveled to nearby towns to sell bakery products and no one now is on the road for the concern.

Charles Matson, Lincoln attorney, came here to aid the defense. BROADY 'FILES DECREE IN INSURANCE FIGHT (Continued from Page l.i pany had practically no organization in the state. According to leged statomanU of purchasers, they thought the company was putting on a special selling campaign. Company officials claim they had no knowledge of the acts of its agents and admitted they wers wrong. Attorney General Good contradicted statements of the defendant company and contends the burden of proof rests with the company.

The decree states that V. H. Jenkins, vice president of the company, admitted that during the first ten months of 1933 the volume of business in Nebraska, principally Omaha territory, approximated 7 million dollars. Judge Broady says that while the home office officials may not have had personal notice of any rebating in this state it does not seem possible that there could be such a large increase in new business, much of which was wrritten at a cost which exceeded the first premium without someone in authority representing the company having some knowledge of it. The court found each of the defendants guilty of rebating and it affirmed the order of the insurance director in canceling all policies written thru the Omaha agency.

JOHNSON ASSURES INDUSTRY NOT TO FORCE BY UKASE (Continued from Page 1.) voiced a more favorable attitude toward the general proposition of curtailing hours in order to spread employment.

Over them was the threat of a federal bill for a compulsory 30-hour week. CJeorge Sloan, president of the cotton textile institute, told the conference he believed many industries could reduce hours from the average of 40 to 36 per week without cutting weekly wages. John R. McGinkey of the silk code authority called upon industry to respond to the appeals with more real action and less Johnson charged that some code authorities were not functioning and said NRA would be "the worst flop in the if they wake up. Reports that the president was preparing ah executive order for a 10 percent reduction in hours under all codes were described by Mr.

Roosevelt as premature. There was no further immediate clarification of the administra- in the conference here, Mr. Roo.se- plans, but it was not believed it would act abruptly in view of the protests of many industrial leaders that reduction of hours would be unworkable. Some industrialists were advancing cautious suggestions that they might agree to an increase in wages and let hours remain unchanged. They said a shortage of skilled labor in several fields would impose great hardship if hours were reduced and would require them to pay heavy overtime.

Despite much opposition voiced velt felt the country wide response to his appeal for high wages and shorter hours was favorable. TAVERN EQUIP. eoanters, hart, bant, booths, 190.00. TabAea. 13.46.
