Either a colossal liar or one of the most cold-blooded murderers in history. Young Cramer reportedly report-edly intended to tell about "two or three killings" every day until the whole list of his purported victims had been covered. Tw Victims Found The bodies of two of his victims already have been found in the Fulda Flats area, rock-marked with the scratchings of gold prospectors pros-pectors seeking the treasure of the mother lode. They were 65-year-old James C. Kennett of Chicago, whom Cramer said he killed in a quarrel over food, and John Thomas Thom-as Mangan, 17, Sacramento, whom he knifed and shot because the red-haired youth had borrowed his rifle.

Going On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON The convention con-vention of Young Democrats meeting in Milwaukee today faces something of a crisis on two counts. One is whether the Young Democrats shall be the political politi-cal vehicle of the Young Roosevelts. Two, is whether the Young Dems shall expose themselves to the honest-to-goodness, idealistic virus of New Dealism, or continue to plod along on the safe and solid sol-id sidewalks of Jim Farlevism. Of these two, the first is more spectacular, the second more fundamental. No one is going to care very much two months hence or two years hence whether Jimmy Jim-my Roosevelt continues to be a national officer ol the Young Democrats. But the question of whether the younger members of the Democratic Demo-cratic Party shall accept the new and (for many people) revolutionary revo-lutionary policies of the elder Roosevelt, is one which gets to the root of most of the President's Presi-dent's trouble within his own party today. It is a prttty safe bet that both the Young Roosevelts and idealistic New Dealism will come out of the Milwaukee convention on thelittle end of the horn. if. f. YOUNG ROOSEVELT The Young Dems got their first breath of Jimmy Roosevelt back in the glamorous days when the Democratic Party was solidly united behind the one goal of ' defeating Herbert Hoover; back in the good old days before revision revi-sion of the Constitution, or the Holding Corporation Bill, or processing pro-cessing taxes ever had arisen to plague party councils. Jimmy at that time became Treasurer of the Young Democrats. Demo-crats. After all the shouting was over and the new organization met in Atlanta for its first national convention, Jimmy mailed in his Treasurer's report. For some unknown un-known reason that report never arrived. Nor did Jimmy attend the convention. And when a large delegation of bubbling Young Democrats went to call on the President-elect at Warm Springs, they all chorused: "Where's Jimmy?" "I guess," replied his patient father, "that he's busy trying to made a living at insurance." After that Jimmy indicated that bookkeeping was a bit boring '(Continued on Page Seven) Social Credit Party Sweeps Alberta Polls Canada Province To Become Testing Ground For Share-the-Wealth Plan. EDMONTON, Alta., Aug. 23 (U.R) Alberta today became be-came the testing ground for the latest in political and economic "share-the-wealth" experiments. Promising prosperity "of a kind never before seen in the world," what is believed the world's first social credit party was swept into power in Thursday's Thurs-day's election. Led by William Aberhart, Calgary Cal-gary school teacher and prophetic Bible Institute head, the party buried all opposition in an avalanche ava-lanche of votes. Although Aberhart's program has never been fully explained, its appeal came from the promise to pay a monthly "basic dividend" of at least $25 to every adult in the province. Social Credit Plan The plan is based on the social unit credit theories of Major C. H. Douglas, British economist and still remains to be worked out in detail. It would cost the province an estimated $145,000,000 a year for the basic dividends. Asked where this money would come from, Aberhart said he would levy on the "unearned increment incre-ment of production" and pay in state credh-the basic theory of the entire plan. His program calls for: 1. Levy on unearned increment of all goods imported or produced. pro-duced. 2.

Replacement of all currency with negotiable certificates, to be paid through the state credit house. 4. Payment for all goods and services with the certificates. 5. - -Payment to all citizens of the "basic dividend," of $25 to $75 a month.
