Saturday. Murphy was thrown from the ma chine and pinned underneath when the car tipped over after having strad dled the low cement dividing wall in the middle of the highway and then jumped off just before it would have crashed into the center pier. He was dead when the car was lifted from bis body shortly after the accident oocurred. It is believed that death came instantaneously.

Dr. L. W. Larson, Burleigh county coroner, stated that a coroner's jury to establish the cause of the accident. He planned to conduct an autopsy Saturday to fix the exact cause of Mr. Murphy's death.

Senator Frader (Rep., N. D.) has announced that he would offer the Frazler-Lemke farm finance measure as an amendment to the Guffey meas ure. Senate approval of the compromise revenue measure, revolutionizing the existing corporate tax structure, com pleted the administration's legislative program. (Chief controversial point in the revenue bill was a tax scale based on undistributed corporation profits.) Agree on Ship Subsidy Prior to the tax ballot, another major barrier to adjournment had been swept away when the house agreed to the senate's ship subsidy bill. Congressmen Saturday were anx ious to go home, even at the cost of sacrificing pet legislation. A furious verbal conflict preceded the vote by which the house finally approved the compromise tax bill, which includes a graduated tax of from 8 to 15 per cent on net cor porate income, plus a surtax from 7 to 27 per cent on earnings which are not distributed to stockholders. The roll call showed 211 Democrats, four Republicans, three Farmer-La borltes, and three Progressives fav oring the bill. Opposed were 76 Re publicans and 22 Democrats. Quickly the bill went to the senate, y Earlier Senator Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) had denounced the bill from the floor on the ground that "it is at war with the public welfare and will fall like a plague on many of its vic tims." v Instantly As Fire Razed Armour Plant in Bismarck Pictured above are scenes as fire razed the Bismarck creamery plant of Armour and Company early Fri day morning.

Objects to British Proposal for Coalition in West But Not in East Paris, June 20.--(/P)--France has formulated her own plan for reor ganization of the League of Nations and will present It at Geneva June 26, sources close to the foreign office said Saturday. The French plan will follow the general lines of the British proposal recently rejected by Premier Leon Blum's government, informed sources declared. (The British suggestion envisaged regional security pacts for western, central and eastern Europe. France objected to the suggestion because Germany was included in the west ern alliance but was excluded from the east.) The French, it .was reported, would substitute a different lineup of na tions than that in the British pro posal, imposing the regional pacts on the present collective security struc ture. The French domestic situation neared normal as striking workers continued to drift back to their jobs, The dissolution of armed rightist leagues, decreed by the cabinet, was appealed to the counsel of state, Col. Francois de La Rocque, chieftain of the Croix de Feu (fiery cross) legion announced.

The latter two groups have been represented as having a "close work ing agreement" with Coughlin. They will consider the Lemke candidacy at a convention to be held in Cleveland in July. CooghlinGives Approval Father Coughlin gave the pair his approval in a radio address Friday night in which he characterized the Union party as an "escape.from the dole standard of Roosevelt and the gold standard of Landon." His description of the new ticket was: "Lemke and Yale, agriculture tbfican: O'Brien Har- Raises 'Slavery* Issue Declaring the issue to be "slavery --economic slavery," Lemke outlined his platform. It set forth that con gress alone shall coin and issue the currency and regulate money values. Congress also would refinance farm and home mortgages. The farm fi nancing proposal was contained in the $3,000,000,000 inflationary Fraz ier-Lemke bill recently defeated in the house. Planks to assure living wages, "a reasonable and decent security for the aged," "adequate and perfect de fense," and smashing of "monopolies," also were included. What support would come to Lemke from Dr. F. E. Townsend's old age pension groups or the Rev. Gerald Smith, a leader of the "share the wealth" forces of the late Huey Long, remained to be determined. Sweeney Sees Success Representative Martin L. Sweeney, Cleveland Democrat, predicted the third party would garner 20,000,000 votes and possibly put the election of a president up to the house of rep resentatives. The house decides such issues when (Continued on Page Two) Bismarck Bu To Meet in They won't have a chance to beg mercy of the court.

"Protestant and Catholic, possess ing one program of driving the money changers from the temple, of per mitting the wealth of America to flow freely into every home." He said he could support neither the "Old deal exploiters--their sun has set, never to rise again"--nor the New Deal. WU1 Seek Both Jobs The new candidacy stirred inter est everywhere, but in North Dakota the chief cause of speculation was whether Lemke would seek election to both the presidency and congress, Lemke answered that question In Washington by saying he would run for both positions. Governor Walter Welford said the development would complicate the situation in this state and that what vote'Lemke gets here would depend on what farm plank is adopted. At Sioux Falls, S. D., Howard Y. Williams, who has been trying to start a third party, was bitter, de scribing the movement as an effort to "split the progressive vote and let the Republicans in." He said "The voice is the voice of Lemke but the hand is the hand of Hearst."

These developments occurred as members of the Medora Stockmen's association, representing six western North Dakota counties, called on the government to buy 7,000 drouth stricken animals at once because of the shortage of feed and water, and as farmers and business men in other counties prepared to meet to con sider what to do to meet- the emer gency. qwl»JajMLafc-JNtrtJ* urday as the federal crop reporting bureau said ihe condition is critical throughout the entire United States. Figures Show Condition The situation was pointed by dis closure that in May rainfall was 42 per cent of normal In the eastern part of North Dakota and 28 per cent in the western part, while up to June 18 the figures were 31 and 32 per cent, respectively. Governor Welford said Saturday he has been given the "assurance" of President Roosevelt that North Da kota "will be given every possible support and consideration" in drouth relief. The chief executive, in a message to the public gatherings called by him to be held at 4 p. m. in every county seat, urged citizens to "forget local differences, view the situation broad ly and express your views after frank discussion." To Canvass Conditions Local conditions are to be canvassed at the meetings and recommenda tions prepared and three representa tives picked from each county to the state conference called for June 25 at Bismarck by Welford. Welford said his views in the drouth relief crisis had been presented to fed eral authorities at Washington who, he said, have promised full coopera tion. The governor said his representa tion at Washington will be "stronger if I am supported by presentation of plans suggested by the people of the state as a unit." Gov. Welford urged citizens meet ing for the present emergency to in ventory county resources of available cash and possible credit to be used for purchase of equipment needed on work relief projects and for supplies. He asked that a check be made on roughage and grain reserves. Wants United Counsel The governor suggested counties call a council of farm organization leaders, county agents, commission ers, Resettlement and welfare board workers to make arrangements to pre serve valuable seed stock as well as transporting livestock from the drouth area of the western part to pasture in Minnesota, northeastern North Dakota and elsewhere where abun dant moisture has fallen this year.
