BUCKEYE ROOST HANDED WILLIS IS DISCOUNTED Nine Congressmen Moved for Personal Reasons, Washington View. BY LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The action of nine out of Ohio’s sixteen Republican Congressmen in indorsing the presidential candidacy of Senator Frank B. Willis, in preference to that of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, is discounted in political circles in Washington. They were acting from a purely personal standpoint, it generally Is agreed, and as such their motives are understood. The Congressmen, are candidates for re-election and they are anxious to avoid anything calculated to disturb the alleged “harmonv" among Ohio Republicans. The Congressmen, also, are under political obligation to Willis and It is necessary for them to “play the game" with him, because, regardless of how the Ohio presidential primaries go, Willis will continue In the Senate for four more years. Everything to Gain Asa candidate Willis has everything to gain and nothing to lose. But the Congressmen are not so fortunately situated. They are up for re-election next fall and are confronted with the threat of Senator Willis that every candidate must choose between him and Hoover. Without Willis, for example, these Congressmen can not appoint a postmaster in the smallest village in their districts. The Senator maintains the veto power and can prevent confirmation by the Senate. Without Willis’ assistance these Congressmen can not get through Congress legislation helpful to their districts. In order to have anew public building for their districts included in the new $100,000,000 Federal building program, the Senator's assistance is necessary. More Politics Involved Another political consideration involved in the Congressmen’s desire for harmony is the fact that Willis dominates the State central committee. This committee can easily trot out opposition in the primaries to Congressmen and hereby cause them expense and embarrassment. Failing to embarrass them in the primaries the committee can be indifferent in the general election when stubborn Democratic opposition appears. Aside from the Congressmen, most of the Ohio organization is indebted to Willis. He therefore, has a welloiled machine now active, which, like the Congressmen, deplores Hoover's entry into Ohio, because it will mean a fight. This machine, taking its orders from Willis, is ‘willing to echo his demands that Ohio voters be desprived of the opportunity of demonstrating that the “dominant sentiment among Ohio Republicans for President" is for Hoover. . CHURCH SERVICE IS DISTURBED BY SHOT Newark Pastor Wounded by Shower of Glass, But “Carries On.** By United Press t NEWARK, N, J., 'Feb. 6.—While he was delivering a vesper sermon, the Rev. Dr. Clarence Bleakney, pastor of the Roseville Baptist church, was injured by showering glass when a bullet pierced a window behind him soon after he had opened his sermon.

Although his head was bleeding from the wounds Dr. Bleakney prevented panic among his congregation and led his followers in the singing of a hymn.

We want them settled and this gathering will be an open forum for citizens.” “The meeting probably will voice some suggestions to Mayor Slack and seek to prevent further council actions against the Mayor," White said.

HOLD ‘BIO NAVY’ PLAN AS CLUB FOB MIS CUT ‘Paper Fleet’ Expected to Force Hands of Nations at 1931 Parley. Bit Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The Adminstration's $700,000,000 navy program originally was designed as a weapon for use in obtaining another arms reduction agreement when the nations reconsider the 1922 pact at the 1931 parley, in the opinion of members of the House Naval Affairs Committee. Testimony by Administration spokesmen and ranking navy officers has convinced the committee the President did not contemplate actual construction, but a “paper navy” that might prove helpful in the 1931 bargaining. Though Admiral Hilary P. Jones, former commander-in-chief of the navy and a delegate to the Geneva conference, did not admit this in so many words, it is the interpretation placed on his statements by the committee. When asked if America’s position at the 1931 conference would be helped by having more ships, Jones said: “If we go into conference with an authorized program of the strength to which we are entitled to, I hope we will find a basis of agreement with the other nations and still have a position of equality.” Admiral Jones’ emphasis of the words, “authorized program,” was accepted as evidence President Coolidge did not want construction to be undertaken before 1931, or any money appropriated immediately. The President’s request that no time limit be inserted in the bill, and that he be permitted to stop construction in the event of another conference, is taken as corroboration.
