I PARADE OPENS 1931 EDITION OF STREET FAIR iCONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) i years fair was the cleanest ever held here and that the entire! show, both the midway and exhibits ijas the best ever given. More than 5,000 are expected to! attend the night program tonight. I A few late concessioners and two more shows arrived in the city* today and were placed on the! midway. There are now 16 shows ! , scattered from Jefferson to Jackson streets. One of the popular kid is the money motordrome on Monroe! street. A children's ride is locat-! ed in front of Beavers and Fryhaek I furniture store and is drawing a large amount of play. Other rides include the Whip. Ferris Wheel. Merry-Go-Round, and the Whirler. The latter is located on Liberty Way and being new is drawing a big crowd. The tubs go around in a large circle and a small circle at the same time. o OCEAN PLANE IS PAST DUE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' I east of Halifax. N. S. Flying conditions on the course from Canadian waters to New York were reported ‘'fair,” with slight j fogs present along some stretches, i visibility was approximately three miles, sufficient for'fairly good navigation. Shortly after 6 A. M.. two planes carrying New York Photographers left Roosevelt field for a flight up the New England coast, in an enendeavor to locate the overdue air- , plane. O GANDHI TALKS AT CONFERENCE CONTINUE!? ’’ROM PAGE ONE) sire to embarrass the conference land promised that whatever different points of view arose, he would ■ not obstruct them. “If at any time I find I cannot i usefully serve the conference,” : Gandhi said. “I will not hesitate to i withdraw.” He also promised to withdraw if | the conference or the government (indicated they wanted him to. I “I am a poor, humble agent acting on behalf of the Indian Nationalist congress.” he said. Gandhi explained that the man--1 date given to him by the congress ' called for “an honorable partner- i I ship” between Great Britain and 1 India which either party woulU he I ;entitled to dissolve. He envisaged! India as a “valuable partner not I held by force hut by a silken cord' of love." Admitting Britain's ability to hold' India in subjection by the sword, i be contended that the result would be an enslavened and rebellious ■ India. A British-Indian partnership ! he continued, “as between two! 'equal peoples might be of considerable assistance to you in balancing' ! your budget.” The mandate, Gandhi said, calls 1 I for control by India of the army, external affairs, finances and the country's fiscal and economic policy. He wanted to put forward the claims of the congress “in the gentlest and firmest manner possible.” he said, but added: “The congress would not be. and I myself would never be. satisfied with a mere political constitution I which in reading seemed to grant I everything desired but in reality; granted nothing." Concluding, he said: “I would love to leave English shores with the conviction that there is to be an honorable and eoual partnership between Great , Britain and India.” n RITCHIE GIVES HIS OPINIO’N 'CoNTtNHFn pqnv PAGE ONF’I cress. I do not believe in crippl- ■ ing it. , "I do not deny the people of any state the right to protect amideI velop their power resources in; whatever way may seem to them . best adapted to that end. But I do: not believe there are manv in-; stances in which state regulation; will not apply suffice rather than l anv form of state ownership.” Ritchie said there might be power resources of such special nature that public welfare would require special treatment. In this connection he cited Muscle Shoals and the Hoover dam project, but remarked that national policy with re-| r.pect to the latter had been determined. He did not define the nature ,of special treatment which would ;be desirable at Muscle Shoals. The Governor said governmentownership of the power industry | would vastly reduce tax collections and would "make us political slaves of the federal government” In that it would create a political machine i ,of "staggering magnitude.” “That is what happened in On-| I tario.’ 'he said. "It would just as, surely happen In this country." "Perhaps the instance most tre-; qiiently cited for the success of j public ownership is Ontario. I [venture the assertion that in On-

Heard from the pastorship of the First Baptist I Church of Jonesboro. Ark. Below is the First Baptist Church over I whose pastor raged the dispute which brought national guardsmen to the town to preserve order.

tario Sir Adam Beck built up a great political machine on an economically unsound project, which sells current to domestic consumers at less than fixed charges and the cost of production and distribution. and that the industrial users and the tax payers pay the Misses." Ritchie expressed the opinion that industry had realized the necessity for "putting its house in I order.” and that in a variety of’ ways its was "working toward the ' deal of avoiding government regu- ! lation by regulating itself.” He said power should not become i a partisan issue and cited the powi er positions of such men as Governor Gifford Pinehot. of Pennsylvania: and Senator George W. Norris, [ Repn., Neb. ’ "And without meaning to que«-] i tion anybody's sincerity,” he said, i |"I may be permitted to wonder; whether gentlemen who discourse I so extravagantly and so passionate-] ly on the subject are not really laying down a barrage or a smoke screen with which they hope to, hide other issues —for ex- ] ample, as prohibition—about which they may not think it wise to speak so boldly.” Kikanians In Meet West Baden. Sept. 15. -(U.R) —The 114th annual convention of State ' Kiwanis Clubs got into full swing here today with a women’s golf tournament, to be followed by a (Wogram of entertainment tonight. Presentation of the Kiwanis state service citation will be made tomorrow. William B. Bradt, RockI ville, to whom the citation was [awarded, is in California, but designed John P. Goodwin, Brookville, to receive the medal for him. Three- objectives have been brought before the convention. Assistance to the 73 Indiana clubs [in celebration of the bicentennial (anniversary of the birth of George l Washington was to be sought. An[other resolution will urge clubs to [ sponsor service citations, and a [third wil deal with a membership i campaign. The convention will close Tliurs- ' day. o CONDITIONS ARE SOUGHT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) The bankers advfs«l President ' Hoover in their White House conference that their sections would be able to take care of the unemployment situation without federal funds. The meeting today was the usual quarterly gathering of the council and the board, but unusual significance was attached to It because of conditions in the conni try. The council makes recom- ! mendations to the board. Some political leaders and I economists have suggested th» legalization of beer as a means of stimulating business and relieving i unemployment, but It was said today that this proposal was not discussed at the White House confer-

i ence. The bankers and the board con-I sidered today means of restoring I ' confidence, which President Hoover regards as the paramount need I of the hour. Administration otfi-1 cials are endeavoring to offset I I what they regard as an exagger-1 ated pessimism over the outlook for this winter. The council and the board also i wire confronted with the surplus ■ crop problem which has inspiredl proposals for forcible reduction of, ! acreage and actual cessation of, planting. Their effort, it ik under-' stood, will be to urge in place of such measures a credit plan to stimulate foreign purchases of sur- ! plus wheat and cotton. Such a I plan has been formulated by GovI ernor Eugene Meyer of the board ami William Clayton leading cot-j ' ton broker. President Hoover was said at I the White House today to have 1 been greatly encouraged by the I ' reports made to him last night. 1 Ships Hurry To Aid i: J San Pedro, Calif.
