—4 - Willis Death Seen As Aid To Herbert Hoover Washington, Mur. 31.—(U.R)—Politicians here today generally regarded the sudden death of Senator Willis, Repn., Ohio, in Delaware, Ohio, last night as materially strengthening the presidential campaign of Secretary of Commerce Hoover. But they were not altogether certain that Willis’ removal from the tanks of Hoover's bitter foes signified a walkover in the Buckeye state for Hoover. While Willis' dramatic death leaves Hoover the only republican candidate in the Ohio primary April 24 and while time for filing lias long since expired, it was pointed out two things could happen with Willis delegates: | 1 — They might be chosen by anti- ' Hoover voters. 2— They might .be swung over to Hoover if Willis leaders in Ohio chose to make such a switch. The latter contingency, however, seemed remote to political experts I here, since the fight against Hoover ' had been so strong that it seemed doubtful such a change cou H be made overnight. , 0 — Man Admits He Sent Threat To President South Bend, Ind., Mar. 31. —(INS) — Federal, Judge Thomas W. Slick today had under advisement the case of Albert Anderson, 53-year-old Donaldson. Indiana, farmer who pleaded guilty to a charge of sending a threatening letter to President Coolidge demanding $50,000. When Anderson was arraigned in' federal court he first pleaded not guilty, but later changed his plea to guilty. It was regarded as possible that tho court would send Anderson to the federal prison at Leavenworth from where he would be sent to an institution for the insane for observation.
