tloiiH. usually held hi June, until later In the summer. But this has not shaped into a definite program and if either committee names a elate other than next month It will i lie a general surprise. Each committee is expected to delay announcement of its convention date until a late hour tonight, each hoping the other will reveal its intentions flrat. The Interim will be spent on dis cusslon of the primary and the fall election. For example, the Democratic disI trict committeemen will probably I be consulted by the statehouse organization headed by Gov. M. Clifford Townsend on the logical choice for the party's nomination to the United States senate seat now held by Senator Frederick Van Muys. Liutenant-Governor Henry F. Schricker is reported to be the present choice of the state- : hodse organization, which is ex- ' pected to control the state conven- ! tion through its tremendous patron- ' age. | The Republicans will discuss principally who will be nominated i to oppose the Democratic senatorial nominee and Van Nuys, who has : threatened to form his own party and run as an independent. Five men have announced candidacies for the G. O. P. senatorial nomination. 1 Republicans also are expected to consider other nominees on the state ticket, including sveral apI peltate and supreme court judge- , ships plus major executive offices. Both state committees, however, are turning an anxious eye ou tomorrow's primary election. The Republicans are scrutinizing the vote to see if there is a trend away from the new deal and its recent controversial policies in addition to a “recession.” Archie Bob-

bitt, state Republican chairman, has told the United Press he would be satisfied with a gain of several seats in congress and Inroads into the Democratic majority in the legislature. The Democrats are hopeful of maintaining their present overwhelming strength numerically, substantiating their support of the ■ Roosevelt administration and lay-1 Ing the groundwork for the presidential candidacy of former Gov.' Paul V. McNutt in 1940 by swinging the state solidly Democratic. Compared to the results of the 1936 general election, the last indication of public sentiment, the Republicans must overcome a majority of approximately 200,000 votes. This figure is the margin held try the total votes for Demo-, cratlc congressional candidates over the Republicans in 1936. In the last election the Democrats carried 66 Indiana counties compared to 26 which went Republican. Republicans are highly optimis- | tic, however, because many of the important counties which went Democratic did so by extremely narrow margins. For example, Grant county in the congressional race went Democratic by 99 votes out of approximately 25,000. In many counties a few votes could change their political complexion from Democratic to Repub- . lican. with a proportionate shift in both the legislature and congress. Every major city in the state except Lafayette, however, has a Democratic organization in control, most of which are on cordial terms with the statehouse. Over the state this week-end the intensity of the primary election was emphasized in several develop- ! ments. These included: 1. At Vincennes police entered a printing establishment and confloated forms of type for a pamphlet attacking Mayor Joseph Kimmel. Kimmel is head of the Democratic organization at Vincennes ai\l is a candidate for state senator in the primary. Two men were charged with criminal libel and jailed. 2. At Jeffersonville Sheriff Hal Hughes was searching for two men (.barged with circulating an illegal election slate. One of the men sought was a WPA worker. 3. At Indianapolis a battle is on in the Democratic organization with Sheriff Otto Ray fighting the regular organization for the nomination for mayor and State Rep- • resentative Charles Lutz seeking the nomination for sheriff as a labor candidate against Al Feeny, former head of the state police.

George H. | Earle of Pennsylvania was launched by Guy K. Bard, 42, immediately lon taking office as state's attorney general, succeeding Charles J. MarI gtotti. The latter was fired by : Earle as the climax to the Key--1 stone state's bitter Democratic civil war. Bard, whose home is in Denver, Lancaster county, is a former federal prosecutor. OPPONENTS OF I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | be sent to the floor for considersI tion before adjournment. “They're still playing the same j I game.” Cox said. "We’ve known I all along what their attitude was. I There'll be no change in the attiI Hide of the rules committee. Their | only hope is to discharge the com- , mittee. 'l’m confident there will be no legislation on this subject at this | session.” Cox had “no criticism to make lof the president's letter, for I I accord him the right to a full and I free expression of his views.” | Another member of the rules group, Rep. Martin Dies, D., Tex., i asserted that “if the majority of , the house really want to consider this bill, they can certainly get it |out by petition. This isn’t a denial of the right of the house to consider the bill.” ROOT TOWN SHIP RESIDENT DIES Frederick E. Hockemeyer Dies After Extended Illness Frederick K.

He is in partnership with Hitler on tlie famous RomeBerlin axis designed to gove Germany a free hand in achieving ' dominance of eastern Europe. He j is reunited with Great Britain in a new friendship treaty designed to act as a check rein on nazi threats .! of war. He is negotiating for a 1 similar treaty with France, which Is now joined in a powerful defensive alliance with Britain. The whole trend of recent diI plomacy has been keyed by Britain's effort to line up a powerful combination which would force Hitler to muffle his threats of war | as a means of spreading nazi influence eastward especially in Czechoslovakia. Now it is up to the nazi leader to determine —and possibly to show thh world — the strength of his partnership with Rome. Well-informed sources report that Hitler would like to create a firm military alliance with Mussolini; a

STATE ROAD 27 BIDS ON MAY 24 State Highway Commission To Receive Bids For Improvement Indianapolis, May 2 —(U.RJ Bids will be received May 24 by the I state highway commission on grad- ' ing surfacing and paving of 67 | miles of state highways estimated | to cost $2,303,473, Chairman T. A. ; Dicus announced today. The projects, to be financed jointly with state and federal ! funds, are located in Washington, Adams, Marion, Wells. Putnam, Hendricks. Owen, Morgan, Dearborn. Henry, Hamilton, Vigo, and Clay counties. A majority of the projects are on the federal-aid highway system while two are on the new feederroad system being improved with federal and state funds. One is a grade crossing elimination project to be financed with federal funds and three of the projects are being readvertlsed from previous lettings. The projects include: Financed with federal-aid funds: Adams county — Paving 3.529 miles ou road 27, from Monroe to Decatur. — ' o LODGE HONORS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) he said that not one graduate has ever been convicted of a felony. He quoted its motto—“ Enter to Learn, Leave to •Serve” as one of the highest ideals. Mayor Holthouse also mentioned Moosehaven in Florida, which he called the perfect place for otherwise friendless members of the lodge, who are victims of economic troubles, to spend their declining years. • o Pope Pius Condition Is Much Improved Castel Gandolfo, May 2—(U.R)— An indication that Pope Pius is much better than he was a year ago was seen today in the anI nouncement that Prof. Aininta Milan!. his physician, would visit him only once a day during his stay at the summer Vatican. The pontiff came to Castel Gandolfo on Saturday. He took up his papal tasks immediately, granting a | number of private audiences. o Amendment Adopted To Naval Measure I The senate today adopted an • ■ amendment to the naval expansion bill, barring American leadership j in a world armament race by limit- • ing battleship displacement to I 35,000 tons. The amendment, by Sen. Arthur Vandenberg, R. of Michigan, cut battleship tonnage authorized by combination that would strengthen the Rome-Berlin axis as opposed to the London-Paris alliance. There ■ has been so far no indication that the fascist premier would accept ! such a fighting partnership. On the contrary, there have been | indications that Mussolini does not intend to surrender his'position as a sort of balance wheel between I nazi military might and the AngloFrench bulwark against war. Many problems, particularly regarding trade in central Europe, in Italian {•relations with Germany are unsolved, in addition to the fact that ; the fascist ruler cannot forget that nazi soldiers now look down from I the Brenner pass upon Italy.
