Students Missing At Sea
Vacation-Bound Sloop Lost Since Tuesday; Hope For Trio Dwindles
Hope has dwindled for Laurie Weitz and Mark E. Croxall Jr., U. S.C. freshmen, and Douglas Montero, a Santa Monica junior college student, who sailed from Balboa Tuesday and have been lost smce. Coast guard officials reported today that search by air and sea has met with failure.
The trio left aboard a 20-foot sloop bound for Avalon to spend a part of their Easter vacation with friends.
On Wednesday a 40-mile wind lashed across the channel and it is feared the small sloop foundered as the result of poor riggings and bad sails.
COVES SEARCHED
All Santa Catalina island coves were searched thoroughly by patrol boats, and harbor anchorages along 60 miles of coastland also were visited in vain. Coast guard amphibians droned across 2000 square miles of sea in a desperate effort to locate the missing craft or its crew.
When this search proved futile, Mayor Frank L. Shaw and Guido Orlando, a friend of one of the missing boys, sent telegrams to President Roosevelt, Senator Mc-: Adoo, and Secretary of the Navy

Republican Chairman Criticizes Roosevelt's Recovery Program
WASHINGTON, April 17 — (L'-P)— Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican national committee tonight thrust President Roosevelt’s $4,512,000,000 relief-recovery program before the nation as a major campaign issue with a bristling demand for cessation of “profligate” new deal spending and drastic steps to reassure frightened and paralyzed industry.
Hamilton launched his attack in a radio address shortly after Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, Michigan, 1940 Republican presidential prospect, levelled similar criticism against the administration’s lending-spending-credit expansion plans in a radio debate with Sen. Lister Hill, D., Alabama, staunch new dealer. Hill parried the thrusts with an assertion that federal spending is the only course out of the depression because of the refusal of private business to take up the unemployment slack.	\
BUSINESS ‘PARALYZED*
Answering President Roosevelt’s recent “fireside” chat, Hamilton charged that the new deal’s first “five year” plan had hit the economic rocks despite $40,000,000,000 of “pump priming” expenditures and that business is paralyzed with fright because of Mr. Roosevelt’s wavering economic and reform policies.
He warned that the only means to raise funds for the new program is from taxes on the rich and the poor and questioned whether industry can carry a bigger load at this time. ADMINISTRATION UPBRAIDED “Business cannot flourish with the strangling hold of the tax collector around its neck,” he said. “One of the major troubles in the present situation is that business of the country is bowed down by taxation.” He said that when it became ap-

Upon outcome of the conference is expected to hinge the probable date for adjournment of congress— whether next month, as the majority of legislators wish, or far Into the summer.

Trojans To "Relax" After Vacation To Bud Parks' Music

Legion Attacks Harvard Reds'
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 17— (U.P)— American Legion National Commander Daniel J. Doherty today added his voice to protests provoked by the first appointment of a Communist to Harvard’s official family.
The naming of Granville Hicks, avowed Communist and literary editor of the New Masses, as a student counselor in American history was “outrageous,” Doherty said.
“The placing of any such man as Hicks in charge of the teaching of American history, especially when there are ever so many really able and worthwhile true American educators available, is an outrage,” he declared.
Hicks, who graduated from Harvard summa cum laude in 1923 and subsequently received degrees from Harvard’s theological school and graduate schools of arts and sciences, will begin duties next September.
reported tiff with the president over “pump priming” drew a sharp denial from Mr. Roosevelt, Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley, Speaker William B. Bankhead, and House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn.
Such vital issues as the deadlock of house and senate conferees over the new revenue act, the fate of the embattled wage-hour legislation, th administration-proposed “seven TVA’s” regional planning bill, and new long-range steps outlined by Mr. Roosevelt in his “pump priming" message last week will be discussed.
LEADERS AGREED ON BILL
Rayburn said the leadership, including President Roosevelt, is agreed on handling the “pump priming” legislation as an omnibus bill, including the proposed $1,250,000,-000 works progress administration relief outlay and the $1,000,000,000 public works administration lending program.
Despite bitter criticism by Republicans and some conservative Democrats, Rayburn is confident the bill will be rolled through the house in jig-time after the appropriations committee, which begins hearings Wednesday, reports it. He is equally confident the leadership can defeat opposition groups which will attempt to “earmark” the recovery funds to assure congressional control over them.

Landon Declares Inflation, Panic Are in Prospect
TOPEKA. Kans., April 17—<U*>-Administration spending is foretnt the United States along a well-defined path toward inflation and a panic which “will go far deeper ami will be a more vicious thing than any we have experienced,” Alf M. Landon said tonight.
‘‘It takes a long time for the virus of inflation to work, but its work is sure.” the 1936 Republican presidential nominee said.
Referring to the $4,500,000,000 lending-spending program which President Roosevelt recommended to congress to combat the recession. Landon said that any benefits to be derived from such a plan would be “only casual and temporary, nothing permanent.”
The natural outcome of magnified governmental spending would be a panic “of a different sort than we have had before,” the former Kansas governor said.
“There seems to be no end to this program of spending and the panic which wlll come when we finally have exhausted all our reserves will go far deeper and will be a more vicious thing than any we have experienced. It wiU mark a final dissolution and breakdown of this country’s reserve.**
Landon asserted that “certainly it has been effectually demonstrated that increased national spending isn’t the way to solid recovery.” Landon. whose time has been devoted mainly to the oil business since he was defeatd in the 1936 presidential race, had just returned from a trip to oil fields in Greenwood county.
