TWO WOMEN IN THE FRAY
Chicago. Broken clouds of oppos
ltion still darkened the vice presi
dential sky Monday night, but there
was no precinitible movement to
bring them together in a storm that
might wash the name of Charles Cur
tis from second place on the repub
lican ticket. Administration support
to bolster Vice President Curtis' can
didacy became more evident as cab
inet officers and members of the
Hoover inner circle made plans to
resist any. elf or t to upset, the slat?.
' The Illinois delegation discussed
whether" to-' put ' forward "Charles G.
Dawes for the vice presidency, but
in view of his unknown attitude
there was a lack of momentum to
the move to draft him. In Washing
ton Dawes declined to discuss the
matter.
The arrival of the two principals
of one of Washington's bitterest so
cial feuds of recent years Mrs.
Dolly Curtis Gann and Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth gave rise to
instant speculation over whether
there might not be another tug of
war impending between them over
the vice presidency. Mrs. Gann, the
sister and official hostess for the
vice president, said she was confident
he would b3 renominated. "He de
serves the renomination and every
body in the country knows it," she
said.
Both she and Mrs. Longworth
talked with Secretary Mills -and var
ious other of the leaders on the scene.
Mrs. Longworth was understood to
be urging her brother, Governor
Roosevelt of the Philippines, for the
post. From different state delega
tions there came other names of pos
sible nominees.

Radio, Like
Press, is Amen
able for Libel
State Supreme Court Gives Attorney
General Sorensen Retrial
in KFAB SUIT.
Lincoln, June 10. Holding that
the federal radio act confers no priv
ilege to broadcasting stations to pub
lish defamatory utterances, the state
supreme court today reversed and
sent back for retrial in Lancaster
district court the 100-thousand-dollar
libel suit of Attorney General C. A.
Sorensen against Richard F. Wood
and radio station KFAB.
The court held that the funda
mental principles of law involved in
publication by radio station and by
newspaper seem to be alike and that
there is no legal reason why one
Frhould be favored over another nor
why tha broadcasting station should
be granted special favors.
The district court had held KFAB
not liable and had awarded Sorensen
SI damage from Wood for alleged
defamatory utterances during a poll
tical speech two years ago. As a
result of Wood's speech, two other
suits were filed, each for one hun
dred thousand dollars, one by Harry
Lapidus,; Omaha vice crusader, later
murdered, the other by Irvin Stal-
master, deputy attorney general in
Omaha, who is Lapidus' son-in-law.
These two suits have not been tried.
The radio station defense was
built around the contention it had
no power of censorship over politi
cal speeches.
On that point, however, Chief Jus
tice Goss, who wrote the opinion,
said: "We do not think congress in
tended by this language in the radio
act to authorise ou sanction the pub
lication of libel. The fundamental
principles of the law involved in
publication by a newspaper and by a
radio station seem to be alike."

President in Telephone Conversa
tion With His Lieutenants As
sembled at Chicago.
Washington. Thru the eyes of a
squad of advisers in Chicago, Presi
dent Hoover Sunday watched the
continued attack upon problems fac
ing the republican party by dele
gates assembling for the national
convention. The chief executive re
mained within reach of a telephone
thruout the day, except for attend
ing Quaker services with Mrs. Hoo
ver during the morning.
By means of both long distance
conversations and the telegraph he
listened to the views of his rapidly
increasing corps of cabinet officers
and. personal secretaries assembled
in Chicago, .and sent back his own
ooinions. Meanwhile more of hi3
close advisers left the capital for the
convention, with only Secretaries
Hurley and Adams and Attorney
General Mitchell of his entire cab
inet remaining behind.
At one time during the day the
president talked in his Htudy with
two of those most prominently men
tioned for the vice presidential can
didacy should Vice President Curtis
not be given the place. Both Gen
eral Dawes and Secretary Hurley as
serted upon leaving the white house,
however, that politics had net been
discussed. Dawes, with Mrs. Dawes
and Assistant Secretary Douglas of
the treasury and Mrs. Douglas, had
lunch with President and Mrs. Hoo
ver, with Secretary Hurley joining
the three men later in the Lincoln
study.
Publicly, President Hoover main
tained absolute silence upon conven
tion affairs, including the prohibi
tion question. But it was firmly es
tablished that his views on this sub
ject had been imparted to men now
in Chicago. It was established with
equal firmness that whatever his full
views on the problem, he is out right
in opposition to a repeal plank in the
platform. State Journal.
CHILD CRIME LAW SIGNED

Hoover signed into law a measure

mission and carrying the endorse

Three More
Nations Agree to
Pay Their Debts
Suspended Payments to Be Spread
Over 10-Year Period Rest
Expentid to Sign.
Washington, June 12. Three
more European nations, including
France, today signed an agreement
to pay within 10 years $59,000,653
owed the ITi-itcd States as a result
of the Hoover moratorium of one
year on intergovernmental debts.
Meanwhile, Senator Lewis (dem..
III.) told the senate he wanted to
congratulate the administration for
"declining the invitation to join in
the assemblage to meet at Laussanne,
Switzerland, under the guise of trade
adjustment where the real purpo-e
is to point the necessity for the can
cellation of the American debts."
Nations which signed the agree
ment were France, whose postponed
payments amounted to 50 million
dollars; Belgium, $7,950,000; Ru
mania, 800 thousand . dollars, and
Latvia, $250,653.
That leaves only $8,374,763 to be
funded by Poland, Esthonia and Aus
tria. They are expected to sign an
agreement early next week. The to
tal funded is $244,192,040 .England
owed $159,520,000 of this amount.
The arrangement was made as the
European nations prepared to meet
at Lausanne next Thursday to decide
whether further action is necessary
on reparations. The United States
will not be represented, holding that
this is" purely a European problem.
It has been proposed to hold an
adjourned meeting at Lausanne to
consider the world economic situ
ation. The United Slates made known
it would send a representative if the
parley did not meet at the Swiss
city. World-Herald.
