working crews. Along the railroad tracks, near the gasoline tanks, the flames mounted JOO feet in the air or higher. The very rails, for half a untie. were melted by the terrific heat. All traffic was at a standstill. The first explosion, it was believed, was caused by an employes thoughtless smoking in the danger area. It shattered every window in town and blew in doom half a mile away. Eight houses near the first tank that went up were blasted to pieces, their wodden frames catching fire. At dawn the fire was out of control and the town was panicstricken, many inhabitants fleeing from the city. At 10:30 a.in., six of the great tanks were still biasing, and nil telegraph and telephone lines had been burned down, six hundred yards of rail lines were nothing but twisted masses of scrap iron, and the city was stripped of its communication with the outer world. Other nearby towns kept Buenos Aires informed of the progress of the conflagration, but the city’s calls for aid were hampered by lack of wire facilities. —-■ o - INDIANA WILL BE GIVEN AID (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) slightly less than that now. Coy said it was the plan to raise it to the maximum for 1835. According to Coy, the FERA now is spending approximately $2,500,000 a month in Indiana, while the state is providing another sl,000,000. 4 It « The winter program is principally on work projects where unemployed men and women will be given jobs. Direct relief still will be continued, Coy said. Each county has been given the estimated amount it will receive in relief, and also the amount which it must raise as its share, Cby said. Most of the counties will raise their shares through taxation, he said. Atipresent there are approximately 78,000 families on relief in Indiana. Approximately 35.000 are on work projects and others on direct relief. o NOTICE We have three or four high school girls who desire a place to stay during the school term.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1931

THREE STATES VOTING TODAY Governor’s Race In California Overshadows All Other Issues By United Press Three states voted In primary elections today but the question that overshadowed all others in political circles was: “Will Upton Sinclair win in California?" Sinclair is running for the democratic nomination for governor in the coast state. Other primaries are in Mississippi and South Carolina. The first reason for political perturbation over Sinclair was that for years he has been one of the country’s leading socialists. The second was a widespread belief that he would win the nomination. A victory for Sinclair, the political strategists believe, may have widespread effects. They point out that it will present the | administration with a unique democratic ticket containing a socialist gubernatorial candidate and a 1 republican senatorial entry. Sen. Hiram Johnson is running on four primary tickets including the democratic and is marked a certain winner. iSlnclair’s opponents for democratic nomination are George Creel, wartime director of public information, and Justus Wardell.' original California Roosevelt lead- 1 er. They are expected to split I conservative strength allowing Sinclair to win. Four men are entered in the California republican gubernatorial contest. They are Gov. Frank F. Merriam. John R. Quinn, past national American Legion commander. former Gov. C. C. Young and Raymond Haight, former state corporation commissioner. A Sinclair victory would draw the issue squarely of radicalism and conservatism with whichever republican wins. It is also ex ported to react in congressional races and possibly in national politics. The next most colorful race is in Mississippi. Although a primary, tlie democratic victors are just as well as elected after today. Mississippi voters are getting a chance to decide whether they want to elect Theodore G. Bilbo who promises to “out Huey, Huey Long’’ to the senate. Bilbo relinquished a $6,000 a year job elite ping paper for the AAA in Washington to come back home and try for the senate. He is a former governor and Baptist preacher. Bilbo's favorite campaign statements have been that ‘‘Long learned his campaign tricks from me when he was wearing short pants" and "When I get to Washington I’ll raise more heli than Huey.” Running against him are Sen. Hubert S. Stephens, Rep. Ross Collins and State Senator Frank Harper. Stephens ran on a sup-port-the-president plank. Collins had the ‘‘unofficial support of Long” and advocated redistribution of wealth. South California is picking a governor, representatives in congress and voting on legalization of liquor. Eight candidates are running for governor, headed by the veteran Cole Blase, former U. S. senator and governor. A run-off primary in September will be necessray to pick the winner. — o ■ NEW SETUP OF NRA ANNOUNCED AT WASHINGTON (CONTINUED- FROM PAGE ONE) ami retail goods. The whole plan is announced as "based on natural definitions of industries and trades" as written by the groups governed. Trade associations will lie encouraged to retain separate identities, even when part of a merged code group. Some codes now embrace thirty trade associations, each collecting statistics and carrying on technical work under supervision of the master code group. Reasons given by NRA for the realignment and classification of codes are: 1. Assure allied industries of identical treatment on common problems. 2. Reduce administrative overhead by eliminating duplication. 3. Give allied codes opportunity to merge for greater economy. 4. Provide clearer perspective on code classes, with government and industry (problems better dofined. and overlapping definitions eliminated. 5. Simplify and clarify statistics. Code mergers are expected to bring the present codes down to about 250, to bring industries into better coordination with kindred groups and i educe the unit administrative cost. Studies of code expense are under way Troth in NRA and outside aimed to reach "the minimum consistent with effective administri/ion." NRA sees indications of "room for very marked overhead

reduction" with large savings to industry.
