NEXT CONGRESS
Committees of House Are to
Be Reorganized Because
Of Primary Vote
By LFO R SACK
Oklahoma 5eus Staff Correspondent
V AbHINGION Sept 18— Reor
ganization of the committees of the
house of representatives regardless
of whether the Republicans retain
or lose control now appears Inevitable
as a result of the primary elections
The first committee chairman to be
defeated In this year's contests was
Rep s Wallace Dempsey cf Buffalo
who for years has been head ol the
rivers and harbors committee and a
powerful figure In waterways legis-
laflon Dempsey was defeated for
renomlnatlon by a wet Republican
Earlier primary contests have record-
ed the defeat also of three other Re-
publican members of this committee
Rep Mlchaelson of Illinois Chalmers
of Ohio and Hudson of Michigan All
were deftated Incidentally because of
their prohibition views
Two vacancies have occurred al-
ready on the Republican side of the
appropriations committee through
the defeat of Rep Crampton of Mich-
igan and the nomination of Rep
Dickinson of Iowa for the senate
A new chairman of the merchant
marine and fisheries committee
which prepares radio legislation Is
slated because of the nomination of
Pep White of Maine for the senate
Among Democrats Rep John C
Box of Texas minority spokesman on
the Immigration committee Is the
most notable loss thus far
Because of the Intercity of the
prohibition fight this year and the
fight between Democrats and Repub-
licans over economic Issues It Is ex-
pected that many other changes will
occur In committee personnel In
the Wisconsin primaries two Republi-
can congressmen were defeated by
wet opponents
In event the Democrats succeed in
gaining control of the house there
will be a wholesale reorganization of
committee chairmen with ranking
Democrats on every committee suc-
ceeding the Republican chairmen

Oklahoma A raj Sia't Correspondent
YORK Sept 18 — A tall pov-
’ erful man of middle age and
grayin’ hair wearing horn-rimmed
glasses and a well-deserved air of re-
spectability walxed out of a little
restaurant In the Broadway theatrical
district on the evening of Aug 6 and
left behind him the most bewilder-
ing mystery New York has faced In a
decade
At that moment Supreme Court
Justice Joseph Force Cra'er vanished
like a wraith Not until recently !
when he failed to appear on his j
bench at the opening of a court see- 1
slon was his disappearance allowed
to b- known But friends and po-
lice previously had Instituted a
search which by now has extended
throughout this continent and to
Europe j
Evidence la not lacking In fact i
had less significant or fewer astonish- j
lng facts been brought to light re-
gudlng the -Hfe of the prominent
jurist the puzzle might now be
solved But police seemingly have
reached their wits' end The trail
hs been lost lu a welter of con-
flicting clues
Kidnaping— amnesia — murder — vol-
untary disappearance — a love triangle
—any of these might be the correct
solution Theories In which each pcs- i
sibll'ty has been advanced have con-
tained sufficient evidence to give
credence to every one in turn There
are suggestions of scandals which
might touch both his public and
his private life There are some who
believe lie dropped from sight to
protect persons against whom he
might have to testify
But Judge Crater his friends will
tell you— and he had many pioml-
nent Intimates— Just sn't the sort
who could do any of chose things
even the last-named sacrificial get-
tuie which would ruin his beloved
career
Judge Crater was appointed to the
supreme court on April 9 by Gov
Roosevelt to fill the unexplred term
of a retired Justice The appoint-
ment was widely praised and Judge
Crater a Democratic leader seemed
surely to be aebttned for nomination
and election to a 14-year term on the
bench This would have brought him
a total of $350000 In salary
Only 41 years old and nearing the
peak of a brilliant legal carter judge
Crater was held In high esteem He
apparently was happily married
though childless Hs home life was
typical of the busy successful and
contented man Before his elevation
to the bench he spent three or four
nights arh week lecturing on law
at two universities He had no
proven eneml-s
Yet he disappeared as completely
as If he had been swept out to sea
Inere are few however who believe
he met with an accident such as
drowning or death at the hands of
thugs Because Judge Crater knew
that he was going away Under what
persuasion or tnreat or to what fate
police can only guess But he knew
When Judge Crater returned to
New York eaily last month after vis-
iting his wife In a Maine resort he
drew $5150 from his accounts In two
bunks told his confidential secretary
that he might go for a swim packed
a brief case full of confidential papers
and left the oftlce The following
evening that of Aug 6 he Is known
to have bought one ticket for a the-
atrical performance and to have takpn
a taxi from the lestaurant where he
dined
Afnxatlon-Srckers Busy
No one is known to have seen the
jurist thereafter The theater ticket
was used Police methodically
checked up every taxicab In New
York without result Then publicity
seekers by the dozen as well as mis-
takenly helpful pel sons dragged
many an oaorous allegation across
the trail
Broadway night clubs languishing
under a dull beason clalned the
patronage of Judge Crater Cabaret
cuties who haven t had their pictures
In the tabloids before or since came
Vanished for nearly sx weeks wltnout a single tangible tiue of his
whereabouts Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crate- pictured above
with Mrs Crater 16 the object of an lnw national search His wfe of
15 jars has beva unable to aid Investigators who are seeking to trace
the prominent Jurist from the night he walked alone out of a Broadway
restaurant Into oblivion
forward eagerly with claims of hav-
ing last seen the missing man There
were hints of clandestine affairs sug-
gestions of mysterious love trysts —
none of them In keeping with Judge
Craters known character
In truth It has been established
that the supreme court Justice was
more of a man-about-Broadway then
ever was supposed Night clubs seem
to have been little more foreign to
him than night courts Police ha-e
been directing much attention to the
theory that somewhere there Is a
woman who can solve their puzzle
But that woman Is not Mrs Crater
Though on the verge of collapse she
offered every aid to the grand Jury
Inquiry and police but could contrib-
ute no news of the man to whom
she has been married 15 years
Had Planned Campaign j
A circumstance rendering the ease
still more Inexplicable Is the fart
that he had made careful plans for
conducting his campn'gn for election
to the supreme court this fall In-
vestigators inclined to the theory of
foul play report that Crater had col-
lected considerable Incriminating In-
formation about various politicians
for use In his campaign That evi-
dence might ha' e been contained In
the papers removed from Ills office
and missing from his home He might
have been carrying them on the night
of hla disappearance
No less than 15 ‘'doubles'' of
Judge Crater have been reported and
traced from Quebec to Virginia San-
itariums and summer resorts have
been combed as well as New York
hospitals and apa-tmente The Adi-
rondaeks have been colonized with
tall heavy brown-eved men who look
like him He has been "seen ’ simul-
taneously In half a dozen chips hun-
dreds of miles apart Several bodies
have been found but not his Con-
siderable sums have been offered In
rewards
Out of the maze cf reports clues
ard theories comes one which by
the very weight uf implication over-
shadows all the rest A hvdra-
headed political scandal has broken
over Nrw York Citv Iheie are many
who believe that Judge Crater
whether or not he mav personally
have been Implicated vas swallowed
up In It
