MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 1939. PXATTSMOTJTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE THREE f Burke Sees FDR Candidate of the Radicals Believes Both Democrats and Re publicans to Nominate Con servative Candidates. OMAHA. Aug. 11 (UP) Senator Edward R. Burke. D., Neb., today predicted the 1940 political align ment will find President Roosevelt a candidate on a radical third party ticket in opposition to a coalition of conservative republicans and dem ocrats. Burke predicted that both major parties will nominate conservative candidates for president and that Mr. Roosevelt, in line with his mes sage to the Young Democrats con vention in Pittsburgh last night, will head a new party. "He will gather together under his banners all of the radical ele ments of the country," Burke said: "then, I believe, the real'democrats and republicans will decide among themselves which of their candidates has the best chance of defeating him and support that candidate. "It has long been known in Washington that one of three things would happen in 1940: "1. That Mr. Roosevelt would se cure the democratic nomination. "2. That there would be a hand picked Roosevelt nominee. "1. That Mr. Roosevelt would head a third party movement. "Up until six months ago I be lieved that Mr. Roosevelt could win rpnnmi nation but since then the Hatch bill has been passed and the president has suffered decisive de feats. Burke said he would sincerly wel come such a situation. Burke, who has been one of Mr. Roosevelt's most bitter democratic critics in the sen ate, came home today to begin his campaign for renomination. Oppos ing him in the democratic primary will be Governor R. L. Cochran. "T Mnpft Cochran will go 100 per cent with Roosevelt whether it be the scuttling of the democratic party or any other issue." HOLD PRACTICE GAME Last evening a part of the Mer chants baseball team staged a prac tice contest with the Timms' Terrors, the Merchants kindly loaning Elmer Hollenbeck to their foes as a pitcher Tor the hard ball contest. ' Several of the Merchants were unable to be on the field owing to work.

After the first inning Joe Phillips was sent to the mound for the Mer chants and was able to hold the Timms in check. In the last inning as the shades of evening were falling the Mer chants staged a rally that netted them five runs to cop the honors.

Hoodlums Get Iron Fist Jolt in Kansas City New Police Chief Shows Steel in First Swift Acts Police Demand Respect. KANSAS CITY (UP) L. B. Reed, the new Kansas City police chief who came in when the Pendergast machine was tumbled from power, speaks with a slow Georgia drawl and doesn't look hard, but those who once ignored the police aren't fooled. Chief Reed Is very hard, and the hoodlums know about it because one of their leaders, the Italian alien Charles V. Carollo, brought them the news. Carollo is the man who formerly enforced the dictates of the syndi rate that controlled gambling in Kansas City. A state Indictment charges that he "muscled" two men out of a gambling house that paid him more than $100,000 a year. A federal indictment charges that he neglected to pay more than $200,000 in income taxes. He became the Italian leader when John Lazia was machine-gunned. He was Lazia's bodyguard up to that time. All in all he was pretty tough. So, when Carollo came back from a visit with Chief Reed and passed the word around, why the boys knew the 34-year-old former G-man wasn't fooling. It is said that Carollo a few months ago, would walk Into police headquarters, put his feet on the commissioner's desk, and give orders. His visit with Reed was dif ferent. Lieut. John P. Harrington tapped Carollo on the shoulder. "The chief wants to see you." he said. "Okeh." replied Carollo airily "I'll drive down pretty soon." "No." said Harrington, "you will come now. With me. In a police car." The Reed-Carollo conference was executive. It lasted 30 minutes and the pudgy Carollo came out wiping his brow. Reed revealed some de tails. "I told him." Reed said, "that the law would prevail in Kansas City or that I would quit. And I don't in tend to ault. I told him that if necessary wewould bring his kind in on a slab." Reed also told Carollo the hood lums were going to respect the police. "You are supposed to be the leader of the boys around town, but to me you are just one of them," I said "However, I want you to tell them they can fall in line or they can cet themselves a lot of grief. He said he would tell them that he be lieved he meant what I said." After "telling off" the tough ele ment. Reed carried his case to the Dublic bv radio. He asked for co operation. Then he started a depart mental shakeup. Machine wheel horses were ousted or demoted. Men under probation in the vote fraud cases resigned. The whole business has been dis tasteful to gamblers who formerly worked in the GO-odd open houses and to the hoodlums who knew they would be "sprung" if arrested Many of the big gamblers have moved ' on. but the lesser fry are still in town, hopeful that the "heat will be turned off." MARRIED AT CITY HALL Thursday afternoon Judge C. L Graves was called upon to unite in marriage Marie Euretta Robirds and Andy Jasper Arendell. both of Belle vue. who arrived here with Cecil B.

Army Board Probing Cause Bomber Plunge Investigation Started as to Reason of Loss of Flying Fortress and Nine of Crew.- LANGLEY FIELD, Va., Aug. 12 (UP) An army board of inquiry dug in the charred-ruins of a Douglas twin-motored bomber today for a clue to the cause of the accident in which nine army fliers were killed. Air corps officials were frankly baf fled by the bomber's sudden plunge to earth yesterday shortly after tak ing off on a practice flight. Some be lieved that the cause might never be determined. Pilot of the plane was 25-year-old Lieut. Homer MacKay, Lansing, Mich, who received his commission in the army air corps only a week ago after graduating from the Kelly Field train ing school in Texas. Eye-witnesses to the crash could not agree cn details, the accident oc curred so quickly. But Lieut. II. M. Melton, Jr., official Spokesman for the army, said the board would in vestigate reports that one or both of the plane's motors failed after it had gained an altitude of less than 200 feet. The inquiry board was convened at once and, as soon as the burning wreckage had cooled, began examin ing the debris. The plane was com pletely demolished and flames con sumed all but the metal parts which were twisted by the crash and fused by the extreme heat of the fire which followed. Members of the board who will re port to army headquarters in Wash ington after their investigation are Major Clarence B. Lober, Capt. Wil- iam H. McArthur and Lieut. Nich olas E. Powell, all attached to Lang ley Fied. The plane was a standard Douglas bomber of the tvpe known as B-18A one of 200 of its type purchased by the army two years ago. It was powered by two Wright cyclone en gines and was capable of a speed of 225 miles per hour. When it took off at 1:28 p. m., yes terday for a routine practice flight, it appeared to be functioning perfect ly. But a minute later it crashed at the end of the field with a roar and burned so fiercely that rescue squads could not approach it. Most of the eye-witnesa reports were fragmentary, but one army of ficer, who asked that h-'s name not be used, gave the following account of the accident: 'The plane took off in an unusual FRESH MINT JELLY v (Makes about 5 medium glasses) 1 cup spearmint leaves and stems, packed 3V4 cups sugar cup apple vinegar 1 cup water Green coloring bottle fruit pectin 'Wash spearmint.

"The plane fell off on its left wing. It pummeted to the earth, the nose and left wing hitting the ground al most simultaneously. It did not look like a normal take-off it seemed the plane was stalling all the time. I watched horrified, because I believed the plane was going to fall." Would Establish Bank to Supervise Old Age Payments Would Give $100 Per Month to All Nebraskans Over the Age of 50 Years, Says Petition. OMAHA. Aug. 12 (UP) Petitions asking for a referendum at the gen eral elections on Nov. 6, 1940, on a proposal to establish a "Bank of Ne braska," which would supervise pay ment of $100 per month old-age pen sions to all Nebraskans over 50 years of age, are ready for distribution by the Nebraska State Retirement Pen sion Plan committee, Roy M. Harrap, campaign director announced today. Dependents would draw an addition. al $30 per month under the plan. Only those persons whose incomes are less than $100 would be eligible, but in come of the others would be supple mented so that their total spending power would be $100. The pension money would have to be spent with in GO days after receipt. The "Bank of Nebraska" would be capitalized at $250,000,000, through a "letter of credit'' given to the ad ministrator of the bank by "the people of Nebraska." The state general fund would be drawn upon for $2,500000 in cash to get the plan in operation. Under terms of the constitutional amendment, either Harrop, George Evans, Omaha or J. L. Beebe Omaha must be appointed the first adminis trator of the bank. The bank would be housed in the state capitol build ing with branch banks located in each of the 93 counties. Deflation would be prohibited and interest rates are placed at 3 per cent in the petition. "We figure that the big bankers have taken more than $200,000,000 out of Nebraska by deflation," said Harrop. We figure 100,000 persons would be eligible for pensions, so it would be 20 monhts before Nebraska gets this money back.'' See the goods you "buy.

DIES IN FAR WEST From the west coast comes the tragic story of the death of a man who for a number of years made his heme here and will be recalled by many, George Sherbondy, 81, who was found dead at his home not far from Los Angeles a few days ago. He had been receiving old age assistance and it was found that he had some small property and led to the request of the refund of the sums paid out. The aged man had evidently brooded over the case and with his suicide in mind had turned out the chickens on his small tract of land, fired the house and was found in his car, a victim of monoxide gas. He had left a note and in which he exclaimed in bitterness, "I thought the old ace assistance was to make old people happy, instead of persecuting." While a resident here some twenty-five years ago. Mr. Sherbondy was a clerk at the then Hotel Riley, now known as the Hotel Plattsmouth. After leaving here he had gone west and trace of him was lost by former friends until the story of his end came through the press.
