WATCHES JUMP; DIES HERSELF Unsuccessful Suicide Attempt Causes Death Os Witness New Albany, Ind . Aug. 31—<U.R> —The sight of a 15-year-old girl attempting to commit suicide by plunging from her second story office window was blamed today tor the death of Mrs. Lillie M. Kurfess, 69. Floyd county probation officer. Mrs. Kurfess was conversing yesterday afternoon with Myrtle Kidd. 15, of Charleston, W. Va„ who had hitch-hiked here several days ago and had decided to return her to the home of a brother. Suddenly the girl leaped to her feet, dashed to the window and plunged to the street below despite the efforts of policeman Charles Schindler, who was in the office, to seize her. Mrs. Kurfess fainted, was revived and then fell into a coma from which she did not emerge and died an hour later. The girl suffered only bruises and a brain concussion and will live. Schindler said that just before the Kidd girl leaped she said that "she wished she could get herself out of the way.” Mrs. Kurfess was the only woman who ever ran for mayor of New Albany. She was defeated for the Democratic nomination in 1921. o Mount Vesuvius Again Erupting; No Damage Naples. Italy, Aug. 31 —(UP) — Mount Vesuvius began erupting todal, ejecting lava from its eruptive cone at the rate of 60 feet a minute, although the lava did not overflow the crater. .Huge flames reddened the sky

Governor Townsentf Wishes Every Person Could See State Fail * ■ <v W 5 ? • BA 1 /***- M '« >»'• a fc’Tt **ilM 'ajOl ’ GOV. M. CLIFFORD TOWNSEND As one actively engaged in agriculture, former Commissioner of Agriculture, it is only natural that I, as Governor of this great state, hold a keen interest in our great Hoosier Exposition—The Indiana State Fair, to be held this year Sept. 3 to 9, inclusive. I am confident the Indiana State Fair is becoming a bigger and better exposition each year. Undoubtedly many persons were of the opinion that after I became Governor that I would find it impossible to spend very much time visiting the Fair. However, they were mistaken, and last year I was able to make several visits, and spend considerable time, viewing the exhibits and other features. I am planning to increase the amount of time this year, if at all possible. It is my firm belief that the paid attendance mark at the Fair this year will exceed 450,000. You will recall that a new all-time mark of 383,544 was established last year when the former record of 1936 was surpassed by 17,583. In addition I am positive that had it not been for inclement weather on three days, particularly on Friday, when it rained all day, the attendance figure last year would have soared well over the four century figure. If we are favored with good weather this year, I fully expect every existing record in connection with the Fair, attendance, revenue, exhibitors, etc., to be smashed. Therefore I want to urge every citizen in the State of Indiana to plan to spend as much time as possible at this great panorama of industry, agriculture, art, science pageantry and see other producti and features produced in »ou> great state far teo numerous tc mention.

JAPANESE HAVE NO APOLOGIES Foreign Office Say Transport Plane Was In War Zone Tokyo, Aug. 31.—flJ.RX—Japan rejected today the United States protest against the "unwarranted attack” on r Chinese commercial airplane by Japanese naval planes. The reply expressed “regrets” that the pilot, Capt. Hugh L. Wood of Winfield. Kan., was endangered in the attack, but expressed belief that the Chinese owners of the plane had “jurisdiction over his person” and for that reason the incident did not involve Japan and any foreign power. The commercial airliner acted "suspiciously like a military craft,” the reply said, and because it was operating within the war zone marked by the Japanese high command the naval planes pursued it as an enemy craft. The spokesman for the foreign office said that the protest was rejected on factual grounds. The plane, owned hy the China National Aviation Corp., in which Pan-American Airways has a substantial interest, was forced into a crash landing in the Pearl river near Macao on August 24. At least throughout the night. Villages on the slopes of the mounatin so far had not been endangered.

J. K. JENNINGS REFUTES CHARGE Quotes Figures To Prove Small Number Os WPA Officials Indianapolis, Aug. 31. — (U.R) — John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA administrator, today said that charges of Clay county Republicans that WPA rolls there are crowded with Democrats not in need of relief are “unwarranted, unfair and not based on facts.” letters were sent by George Craig. Clay county Republican chairman, to WPA workers asserting that two WPA foremen were owners of large farms, that "every WPA boss in the county is a Democrat.” and that "many corrupt practices have prevented the men and women engaged in this work from the money that was intended for them ” Craig charged that "a great percentage” of relief funds has been paid to “clerks, inspectors, overseers and administrators who are not in need of relief.” He advocated that relief be removed from political appointees and placed in the hands of elected local officials, and added that all WPA employes

should be "encouraged to return to private employment either part time or permanent.” Number Not Exceaaivo Jennings denied that an excessive number of persons are holding executive positions for the WPA fn Clay county. He said that WPA employment in Clay county is 1,727 men and 71 women certified from the relief rolls. “There are only 25 men and two women in addition to the certified persons that are from the non-re-llef class,” Jennings said, “which is only 1.5 per cent; or in other words, 98.5 per cent of the people in Clay county on the WPA program are take nfrom the public relief rolls. “Os the 27 non-rellef status, only 17 are receiving above the monthly security wage, so there is less than one per cent of the people in Clay county who are being paid above the security wage, while the act of congress permits the employment of up to five per cent when necessary for efficient operation of the program.” Jennings added that "the administration of WPA is based upon fitness and ability and only such non-relief workers are employed as can not be found in certified ranks to efficiently carry out the WPA program.” Commenting on Craig’s recommendation of private employment,

Jennings said: Denies Charges “It has always been the policy of the WPA to encourage their employes to take private employment, and anyone who does so is given assurance that just as soon as their private employment is ended they will immediately 11/ returned to the WPA program.
