FAVOR GREENLEE FOR CHAIRMAN Indiana Man Backed By Some Quarters To Head Commission Washington, Mar. 15. — <U.R> — | President Roosevelt sought a new appointee to the national bltuminH ous coal commission today as - chairman Charles F. Hosford. Jr., I Butler, Pa., succeeded in a fourmonth effort to quit the price fixing agency. * At least two states — Pennsyl- ! \ania and Illinois — made strong [ representations to the president that they were entitled to the new i appointment. Illinois congressmen claim their slate has been dist rim j inated against by the commission. Pennsylvania, part of a territory which produces two-thirds of AmI erican soft coal, insisted the new’, commissioner should come from the same state as Hosford. The commission has been torn : by strife over patronage and polii cies since it was created. There i were indications that Hosford did not care to go through the long, . task of re-establishing minimum . price schedules. Criticism of the agency reach- 1 ed its peak recently when the commissioners bowed to legal doubts lof the validity of their original minima and suspended them. Hosford insisted that he never had intended remaining the full four-year term because of the press of private affairs. He said he ex- | pected to return to private law • ' practice. Sen. Joseph GufflTey. D., Pa., j sponsor of the coal control act, announced Hosford's resignation at the White House and said it would, be effective April 30. Hosford indicated he w ould seek an earlier | release from President Roosevelt. some time This week.

BUND MEETING IS DISRUPTED Barrage Os Rocks Breaks Up German-American Bund Meeting ■ Indianapolis. Mar. 15. — <U.R> —Al barrage of rocks thrown through I windows in the home of William ! A. Soltau broke up a meeting of the German-American bund here last night. Police ended their guard in front of the house at 10:30 p. m. and a few minutes later rocks came crashing in on members of America's pro-nazi organization, meeting in semi-secrecy after the gathering had publicly been postponed. I Squad cars quickly were re-sum-1 moned and police entered Soltau's | house. In the group, brown-shirt-ed C. Wilhelm Kunze, national publicity director of the bund, refused I to disclose his identity. “I'm a guest of Mr. Soltau," he . said, "and he does not want my ' name known.” He finally gave his name, police , i said. Shortly after officers arrived a press photographer was ordered off; the property by an unidentified I , man who threatened him with a J i gun. Police said that on a table in the meeting room were many application forms for the bund, some al-j ready filled out. and several German neswapapers bearing the; I swastika. Soltau covered the apj plication blanks with a newspap-, I er, refusing to let police see what I [ was on them. Seven persons were in the room | | when police arrived, including, 1 Soltau, his son Charles W„ and' Kunze. Kunze wore a pinch-bow 'moustache similar to Adolph Hitlers. and had a tie clasp shaped in the emblem of the swastika. ; Three women and another man ' whose names were not revealed. I also were in the group. I Later, Kunze left in an automoj bile driven by Charles Soltau. The elder Soltau had denied earl ■ ier in the evening that Kunze was ; in the city and that a meeting was ito be hold. The meeting, schedul- : ed for last week, had been cancellj ed when public resentment had indicated trouble. | Police today had not found out ’ who threw the rocks through the i i windows.

% FLYING BLIND ---a In thick weather, it is often necessary for airplanes to “fly blind” ... to depend on instruments rather than vision and charted landmarks.
