MEET Workmen Put Big Building In Shape For National Convention I Chicago, June 8 U.R) — Th--j clang of steel on steel and the , cheery whistle of the man at 1 work rang through the Chicago I Stadium today as the vast struc-i ture was decked out in its party dress for ihe Republican national convention six days away. Hour by hour, the block-squarel l palace of sport on the near west | I side underwent transformation in- 1 I to the color-bright forum of poli-: I tics where the two major parties' will pick their presidential candi-l i dates and shape their platforms, ; wi’hin the next 30 days. From the. vast basement that a . i few months ago stabled the steers] ; and ponies for a rodeo to the airy reaches of the oval dome, the. i stadium rang to the thud of ham- ' mers. the whine of saws, the clatter of riveting machines and th» kiss of welding torches. “We will have every flag in i place and every seat fastened down by next Thursday mid-] night." promised Martin J. Dohertv. superintendent of construction, i "The signal (las been full steam j and a clear road and there's no | stopping us now." Two tons of structural steel | w.'te riveted together today to form the big platforms on which, members of the national commit-, tee will sit and from which Sen-[ ] itor Simeon D. Fess of Ohio will peak when he calls the convention [ to order next Tuesday morning Nearly 250 'carpenters, ‘steel workers, electricians, decorators.' seamstresses and other workers hummed or whistled as they I worked. Almost without exception they had been part of the army of unemployed until given" work by Doherty to get the sta-l] dium ready for the conventions. | They rejoiced with good reason. | The scale of. prices paid was: I superintendent of steel construction. sls a day; steel workers, i $1.35 an hour: electricians, $1.70 an hour; carpenters. $1.34 an hour; decorators. $1.35 an hour; I laborers. 97 cents an hour. Directing the decorating was John Reimer, who adorned the• Coliseum for the convention' which nominated Harding in 1920. He gave a verbal picture of what the stadium will look like when his task is completed in the following words: "Shields of the 48 states and the territories will be bung I against a background of flags and I bunting. We will hang 1,500 flags. Two of them, each 18 feet I : long, will hang from the center of eash of those two big beams ap] there. "These big papier mache eagb's ' and these pictures of George] Washington will be affixed to the : gallery railings and to the struts. ' Tri-colored pendants 20-feet long i will flank the flags above the i heads of the delegates and a gold' “ encircled canopy made of 88 ] : squares of bunting, each square 15 ; by 21 feet, will form part of the ‘ ceiling.” I Representations of eagles, each I with wings that spread 9% feet, | I will set off seven-flag dusters at ] each end of the arena.

GOOD pitching! Its importance to big league teams barging ahead toward pennantville was never more clearly exemplified than in the last few weeks of tlie major league pennant races. Take that marvelous winning streak of the New York Yankees as an example. Thirteen victories out of fourteen starts! And in that string of wins there were four consecutive shutouts. A run of forty consecutive scoreless innings, one inning less than the American League record set by Cleveland in 1903. What difference did it make that the team was not hitting anywhere near its average? What matter that the great Babe Ruth was hitting under .300 for the first time in many, many years? Why, no matter at all, for the Yankee hurling staff was dishing up a brand of pitching that was almost impossible to beat. Usually, durjng a prolonged winning streak, long, hard clouting, with home runs plentifully interspersed, is credited with most of the victories. But let the pitching

SEN. HASTINGS OPENS STATE G. (). P. MEETING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE i j have our backs to the wall and a i real fight on our hinds.” Hastings predicted that Governor Roosevelt would be the standeid bearer of the Democratic party.' "My own judgement is that the so-, cal'ed 'forgotten man' will be the', cliief issue of Governor Roosevelt and the Democratic party," he said, i "This has been true of the Demo-, cratic party in the past and there is everything to indicate that it , will be true in 1932.” He derided former Governor Al-j (red E. Smith for his recent expression that one of the things which ought to be done to end the - depression was to cancel foreign I debts "by reducing them in proper-j |tion to the amount of goods that I the debtor country purchased from j ' this country." “To suggest that such debt be forgiven when our country is in distress, shows a lack of know!- 1 |edgq of the temper of the American ■ | people toward the nations across. jthe Atlantic," he said. President Hoover’s Reconstruction Finance Corporation was land'ed as a practical and sensible way , to loan money to the various states ‘ i.o meet tlie emergency. The senator the mils, ttssesd the /tariff question, claiming that “the Repub ican party has since its very beginning stood forth as the projector of American industry, the American working man and the i American farmer.” Hastings reproved the large American manufacturers who have built new factories in various parts ct Europe to keep from paying the high wage that Americans demand, remarking that “this class of persons and a great many international bankers who have distributed in

| fall and there goes the winning j . streak. All the hitting and run l , making in the world doesn’t mean a thing if the other team is also, hitting- xnd scoring more runs. As i I the pitching staff goes, so goes the . ball club, if you’ll pardon an old saw. ; ] George Pipgras, “Great Dane” > of the Yankees, scored one of those > ] four straight shutouts, the other i three falling to the lot of the reg- ■ ! ular staff nurlers, Gomez, Allen I ! I and Ruffing. Incidentally Pipgras . is well on the way to the form he i , displayed in 1930 when he ac-] i, counted for fifteen winning games, ' ■ three of them shutouts. Already this year he has scored : two shutouts and has had a string i of four consecutive victories. His ■ return to form strengthens the ' Yankees’ pennant chances, which ■ already seem bright. In Chicago the Cubs are crowing over the remarkable pitching of Lon Wameke, husky young right hander, who was playing j , first base for his high school team : five years ago. As Manager '. Hornsby says, “the kid has cer- | : ' tainly been a sensation. He has 1

'this country bonds issued by for-, eign governments favor the throwing wide open of American doors by the removal of the protection I tariff.” Referring again to Governor Roosevelt's "forgotten man” as the principle issue in the coming elec--ion. Hastings said: “The leaders Icf the Democratic party, in congress and out of congress are making the country believe that the 1 masses must depend upon them for relief. In most instance, this is the outcry of the demagogue. Back <4 it, there is neigh hope nor expectation of being able to accom- ■ plish what they so loudly proclaim.” In closing his address, Hastings proc'aimed the necessity of retaining President Hoover in the White House and of Indiana returning James E. Watson to the senate ’ chambers. Indianapolis, June 8. —(U.R) —The > Repjib'ican state convention openltd today with Ivan C. Morgan. Ausi tin, state chairman and permanent ■ chairman of the convention, presidi ing. The opening session was held iin Tomlinson hail. United States Senator Daniel O. Hastings of Del- | aware was the principal speaker. Disappointment was evident when' it was announced that neither Senator James E. Watson nor Senator Arthur R. Robinson would be able to attend the convention. Senator Watson, up for re-nomination, was scheduled for a speech on the morning program. Will Hays, formerly of Sullivan. , Ind., and former national and state , G. O. P. chairman, now president I of the motion picture industry, was to attend a conference with party , leaders today, and to take part in . discussions on the p'atform. which , will be considered tonight by the resolutions committee.

I just found himself. And he helps I round out one of the best pitching 1 staffs in the National League.” i Only last year Warneke was doing most of his work in the Cubs’ , Bull Pen and probably wondering whether he should continue his efforts to be a big league pitcher or go back to the farm. But the Winter back on the farm convinced him that baseball offered him the best chance and he joined the Cubs’ camp this Spring determined to make the grade. How well he has succeeded we leave to you and [those enthusiastic Wameke ' boosters. Walter Johnson’s Senators also boast a pitching staff equal to the best. Brown, Crowder, Weaver and Fischer constitute a quartette which has been churning up much dust along the pitching road since the season began. And Manager j Johnson, one of the great righthanders of another decade, pins his hopes for success on their ability to continue the pace. For as Walter says, and we agree, “pitching is the vital factor I in the success of any ball club!” Vv»>ri<ht 1932 Krn« Veata.w Syudlctl*. Inc.

; committee woman, along with Hays and Governor Harry G. were to attend committee meetings in advisory capacities. The meeting was to adjourn at Tomlinson hall at noon until Thursday morning at 9:30. Chairman Morgan said that because of the inabi ity to handle, the 'arge crowd, which jammed the convention! chamber, the meeting place would probably be changed to Cadle tab- , ernacle for the second day's session. With the re-nomination of Sen-, ator Watson assured, interest centered upon selection of the gubernatorial nominee. Eight candidates are in the field with M. Bert Thurman, former national committeeman. Frederick . Landis. Logansport editor, and Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush. Salem, the favorites of the 'first day. Raymond Springer, Connersville. the last candidate to enter the field, and at one time said to he the choice of Senator Watson. was expected to make a strong bid. Other candidates for governor, al! serious threats to the favorites, were Attorney General James M. Ogden, Indjanapo is; Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the board of accounts; James K. Knapp, Hagerstown, former speaker of the house, and Arthur Sap);. Huntington. member of the state highway ' commission. The proposed state platform, discussed conferences with guberna- . torial and legislative candidates by 1 Chairman Morgan, called for resubmission of the eighteenth am--1 endment. The re-silbmission rec- ' ommendation was said to have 1 ccme from national party leaders I in Washington. * ’ j Chairman Morgan was chosen as i permanent wielder by the II Tuesday. r He was d unanimously. 11 The de/ ■» were to meet by
