PETERS LIKELY WINNER IN HOT PARTY CONTEST State Chairman Appears to Have Captured Democratic Organization ELECTION IS ON SATURDAY Indianapolis, May 12.—(U.R) 1 —R. Earl Peters, Fort Wayne,! center of a bitter factional battle in the state Democratic organization, appeared virtu- j ally certain today of re-elec-tion to the state chairmanship.! District chairmen and vice .chairmen, elected at meetings, yesterday, will convene here Saturday to select state officials. Peters’ friends claimed that! lie will have at least 13 of the 22 voles to be cast. So intense was' tile contest that in two instances the balloting resulted in a tie and tlie officers will be selected by the new state committee when it meets' Saturday. The election of a state chairman ■will climax one of the strongest, rivalries that has appeared in state Democratic politics for many years. Peters, who is backed by the organ-; ization supporting Paul V. McNutt for governor, was opposed by a fac-| tion headed by Frank Mayr, Jr., I secretary of state. The battle was not the first ini which Peters lias had strong oppo-l sition. He won his position in 1926 after a close fight with an organ ! ization led by Joseph fravens, Madison. Opposition was made to Ins', lie election in 1928. and in 1930 lie; I obtained the post only by a one'vote defeat of Lee Bays, Sullivan, In yesterday's elections, it was 'claimed that friends of Peters were H’ONTINIIEP ON PAGE FIVE! o Threats Are Discounted [ South Bend.

TARIFF PLAN DISAPPROVED ._ Hoover Vetoes Democrat Measure; Vote Is Then Sustained Washington. May 12 —(UP) The Democratic tariff revision bill is dead. President Hoover vetoed it yesterday and was promptly sustained by the house. The vote to oven ide the veto was 178 to 166. letving the Democrats 51 short of the necessary two-thirds. The measure would have stripped the president of his power to increase or reduce tariff rates and would have directed him to seek into: national action for reduction of tariff barriers. Mr. Hoover in rejecting the bill said ‘‘there never has been a time in the History of the United States when tariff protection was more essential to the welfare of the American people." He objected that it “would destroy the effectiveness of the flexible tariff" and “would surrender our own countrol of an Important part of our domestic affairs to the influence of the nations ar alternately would lead us Into futilities international negotiations.” Democrats were aware from the first that Mr. Hoover would veto the bill .but passed it as a campaign issue.

BIRTH CONTROL BILL IS ARGUED Arguments Are Given In Favor of Change Permitting Practice Washington, May 12.—(U.R) Mrs. Margaret Sanger, noted birth control advocate, today renewed her plea to congress to legalize the dissemination of birth control information. With an array of medical witnesses, she appeared before a senate judiciary sub-committee in behalf of the Hatfield bill which would exempt hospitals, clinics and doctors from an 1873 statute forbidding the transmission of birth control data through the mails and other common carriers. "The passage of that law." Mrs. Sanger declared, "closed the avenues of knowledge and research in medical schools and colleges in the United States, and to all intents and purposes classified every married woman in this country as a child-bearing conscript." The Hatfield bill, she emphasized, “does not compel the practice of contraception; it does not compel anyone with moral or religious scruples to avail themselves of such knowledge. It simply gives the right to physicians to obtain up-to-date information themselves and allows them to advise it when it is needed. "This bill is reasonable, conservative and constructive. Its passage will directly affect the quality oi future generations who shall inhabit this land.” Mrs. Sanger said that 86 birth control clinics have been established despite the federal law aud more and more the "bottlegging" of supplies becomes a national practice. "These laws that we are trying to amend are as archaic as they (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE)
