the Republican campaign almost single handedly for a month, has made it plain that he Ik heartily I opposed to almost every Roosevelt administration measure, and I those which he does not condemn outright he has pledged hfinsclf to modify. , In an exhausting 10,000 mile campaign lour each of the 82 Hoosier counties he has said: The reciprocal trade treaties are cheating the American farmer of his domestic market; the Wi’A is •pending only 40 percent of Its 1 appropriation for workers' wages; the federal government's dipping into social security reserve funds | for current fiscal operations is I wicked end a fraud; a third presidential term is an outrage; ■ President Roosevelt is strangling ! free enterprise in business by 1 coercive legislation; high taxes ' are wrecking business and private purchasing power. Governor Townsend and Sena--1 tor Sherman Minton, although I neither are candidates for reelection this year, are taking up i this Republican challenge in ■ speeches averaging six a week, i very noticeably overshadowing i Senator Frederick Van Nuys, the ' Democratic candidate for re-elee- ■ tfon. Townsend in particular has 1 made it plain that the Democratic party is the party of social and 1 economic advancement and that ' to retire any of Its representatives from office will mean a 1 definite retreat from advancement for humanity as a whole. The governor, possibly the cue from Mr. Roosevelt who he admires tremendously, has specifi ically defined the Indiana Demoi. cratic party as “liberal" under his leadership, and has warned ' 'he “common people" against ' straying from it in the 1938 eleci lion. He has identified his own administration as "liberal" and i has urged election of a Demo- ’ cratic legislature to assist hitn In . the crusr.de for the average man. Senator Minton, with charac- ■ teristic fire and brimstone oratory. has defended every new ; deal legislative act. So has Sen-

TWO STUDENTS il HUE RESCUED r | ! College Youths Rescued After 48 Hours In Oklahoma Cave — , Dougherty. Okla.. Oct. 11—(U.M i —Two collega students were taken, alive and unharmed, from , the mysterious caverns of the i Arbuckle mountains today They , had been lost in the dank, pitch- . black underground wilderness for more than 48 hours. Parents and friends feared that . they had drowned or were hope- , lessly lost in unexplored caverns , so extensive men, according to Indian legend, have entered them I and were never seen again. Their , automobile and their clothing were found near a cave's mouth , so small they had crawled in on , hands and knees. The youths were Thurman K. [ Treadwell. Jr.. 18, and Hugh Glen . Munroe, 17, students at the East . Central State Teachers college They had put on their bathing ( suits, crawled into the cave, . swam and waded across a subI terranean pool a quarter of a mile long, finally reaching dry ground. There they had lost < j their flashlight, and. believing | their only chance of rescue was | to wait for a searching party, ’ they had stayed there in the cold and blackness until a party arrived early today. Treaadwell is the son of the ■ head of the college's extension [ department. He end Munroe set out for the caverns from their . homes in Ada Sunday, telling i their parents they were going to I catch lizards for study in their . biology classes. i When they had not returned last uight. Treadwell's father . organised the teachers and stu- . dents of the college into a search- , Ing party that totaled more than . 100 members and which spread ■ put through the mountains where there are innumerable entrances to the caverns, many of which connect in a mate of subterranean chambers and passages inhabited by lizards, rats, and strange forms of life indigenous to the netherworld. Finally they came upon their clothes near the tiny cave mouth high up on a mountain slope. Treadwell knew his son had taken his bathing suit. College students and police crawled into, the hole. After some distance the passage widened into a high-ceil-inged chamber and their searchlights illuminated a confusing array r,f side passages, and. I straight ahead, a body of black, dank water stretching out indefinitely Into the distance. There was no response to their 1 shouts, but Treadwell felt ihat] the youths had gone straight ahead, through the water. Searchers took off their clothes and swam and waded across its quarter mile length and there, waiting for them, were the boys, cold, hungry, suffering from exposure, but otherwise unharmed. They were taken out, warmed, clothed, and fed, taken to a hospital at Sulphur, nine miles away, where physicians found that they had suffered no serious illness, then taken to their homes.

F. of L. convention at Houston, Tex., demanded that he step out of the C. I. O. leadership as ■ the price of labor peace. With but one dissenting vote, the A. F. of L. convention adopted a| report of its resolution committee which said “there is no solution until the adherents of that man (Lewis) deprive him of his authority or he voluntarily steps aside.” In outlining his proposal, Lewis said today that if he and Green quit their respective posts: “It Iben may lie possible for the remaining leaders of the federation of labor and the remaining leaders of the CI O. to conclude a peace pact, in which event the couuiuncion made by Mr. Green and myself would be of some value." Speaking to newspapermen, Lewis said that there may be “some virtue” behind the A.

ITALIANS WILL ! REMOVE TROOPS Four Troop Ships Leave Naples For Spanish War Scene Rome, Oct. 11. —(U.PJ—Four Italian troop ships left Naples today to embark 10,000 Italian soldiers' . whom Premier Mussolini is with- ’ drawing from the Spanish civil war. It was planned that the troop ships, Liguria, Piemonte, Calabria and Sargegua, would embark the troops at Cadiz, in nationalist Spain near the Straights of Gibraltar, and land them at Naples October 20. Disclosures that the ships had left came at a time when negotl,at ions between the Italian and i British governments over application of their friendship agreement seemed deadlocked. They were unable to agree, it was indicated, on whet would <•<»• stitute a "substantial'' withdrawal ’ of Italians from the Spanish civil i war. i It had been apparent that the : Italian government hoped that the ■ present withdrawal would bring British recognition of Italy's con- - quest of Ethiopia, and thus lead I to early application of the friendi ship agreement. But the British wanted a “substantial'' withdrawal which would exceed to a considerable extent i I the “token” withdrawal decided up- i lon by Mussolini. Also it appeared I that Britai nand France were working toward a plan of mediation to end the war. The new complication in BritishItalian relations developed coincidently with signs of new disagreement between Italy and France. Virginio Gayda, regarded as a | mouthpiece for the government, attacked certain sections of French j opinion in his newspaper, Gior-, nale D'ltalia, on the ground that they did not give Mussolini sufficient credit for arranging tile four power Munich conference, at which the Czechoslovak crisis was liquidated.

DENIES STORY | BY LINDBERGH Viscountess Astor Denies Lindbergh Belittled Russian Force London. Oct. 11. —<U.R>—Viscountess Astor made a blanket denial I today of allegations that Col. Char- ; les A. Lindbergh, at a dinner she gave in his honor, belittled the j Russian air force and thus influenced the British-French “surrender" to Germany in the Sudetenland minority crisis. First repudiating any suggestion that Lindbergh had any connection with the social circle in which she moves, Lady Astor said: "I never had had dinner with Col. Lindbergh. This story emanated from the same source —the . Daily Worker which Invented the i story of a 'Cliveden set.' There lis not a word of truth in it. On a previous ocasion it was alleged i that Vicount Astor and I had a j dinner for Lindbergh when we ‘ were not even in England.” The Daily Worker is the London communist newspaper, Lindbergh himself was silent regarding the letter of denunciation which 11 leading Russian aviators published in Moscow, alleging that I he, after being the guest of Rus- | sian fliers, made remarks whose I purport was that the soviet political purge had so weakened the air force it was ineffective, and that the German air force was superior to the Russia, British. French and Czechoslovak air forces combined. Lindbergh flew from Paris to Rotterdam, Holland, yesterday and spent the night there. He was on his way to Berlin to attend the annua) meeting there tomorrow of the Lilientha) society, named in honor of the German pioneer aero-, naut and gliding expert «>o was killed in 1896 after having made i 2,000 successful glider flights. The article on which the letter , ■ of the soviet airmen was based i appeared in the publication "The 1 Week." It asserted that informa- | tion used by the cabinet during the | Czechoslovak crisis, and which was instrumental in swinging younger members to the view of the cabinet element which favored peace at almost any price, originated

with Lindbergh. It said that Lindbergh as a guest of Lady Astor said that the German air force could defeat the combined British, French, Russian and Czechoslovak forces. "Members of the Cliveden set saw in this statement an opportunity too good to miss and started the ball rolling in Tory circles,"' said The Week. Cliveden is Viscount Astor’s estate near London, and labor party and communist circle allege that the people who meet there, the “Cliveden set," are iu'o-nazi, and have influenced high members of the government. Even more interest was shown here in a statement first made in The Week, and repeated in the letter of the soviet airmen denouncing Lindbergh, that authorities in London and Paris bad information that the Russian air fleet was equal if not superior to the combined German and Japanese air force. Unofficial estimates made in Moscow place the strength of the Russian air force as between 4.000 -and 5,000 planes, and list it as
