PREDICT COFFIN TO BACK YOUNG FOR SHERIFF County Political Cliques Are Preparing to Lead Out Candidates. v Politicians centering their interest this week on the trial of Governor Ed Jackson in Criminal Court for attempting bribery, arc finding time to direct a part of their attention to the spring primaries. Lines are forming ana smaii cliques are pushing favorite candidates for nunty offices. Behind the general front put up by the large number of candidates in the field tentatively are seen the hands of the two principal factions in the Republican party, the Coffin ar.d Dodson crowds. Support of Republican County Chairman George V. Coffin u: the race for sheriff is said to be placed on Todd Young, asphalt salesman, who has figured more or less prominently in Republican politics in the county. Hawkins to Run Again Coffin's chief interest these days, however, is in what transpires on the second floor of the courthouse, where Governor Jackson is on trial. Coffin and Robert I. Marsh, former law partners of Jackson, face similar indictments. Omer Hawkins, incumbent, will be a candidate again, his friends say. Others being talked for the place are: Charles Mann, deputy sheriff; Jesse McClure, former city recreation director; George Schmidt, former county surveyor and former county engineer, and Roland Snyder, chief deputy. Schmidt is one of those in the fore of the courthouse gossip. He quit the office of county engineer to become city engineer under former Mayor John L. Duvall. Another race where talk of opposite candidates is safe is that of county commissioner in the first district. Cassius L. Hogle, incumbent, has not made formal announcement, but it is expected he will continue to represent the anti-Coffin faction. Play for Coffin Favor John Shearer, member of the county council, and Paul Dunn are now thought to be playing for the favor of Coffin in the first district. The opposition has not yet announced a candidate to oppose George Snider, commissioner from the second district. Several are being mentioned. In the race for county prosecutor, two of Prosecutor William H. Remy's deputies are said to be in the race. Judson L. Stark, chief deputy, has announced; and William H. Shaeffer, deputy in charge of grand juries, is considering entrance. Gladden May Be Candidate Fred C. Gladden, chief deputy to Roy P. Wisehart, State superintendent of schools, is being pushed to oppose Lee E. Swails, as county superintendent. Swails, a Democrat, stands little chance of re-election, as the selection is by the township trustees, and Republicans have a majority. Gladden is a Republican. County clerk, assessor, the judges and recorder do not face the voters this time. No opposition has been voiced in the county surveyor race. Henry Henry Campbell, incumbent, is expected to stand for re-election. The same applies to the office of Dr. C. H. Keever, county coroner. He was appointed to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Paul Robinson.

Technical High Student Is Victim of Breakdown, Mother Believes. All efforts of Indianapolis police j and detectives having failed to locate Hazeldell Lange, 14. of 816 N. Grant St., Technical High School student, missing since Feb. 1, distracted parents are considering bringing private detectives into the search. The girl, erroneously reported absent from roll call at Technical, ran away following a reprimand from her mother, Mrs. Paul C. Lange. At 11 o'clock on the night of her disappearance she was seen in the Union Station by a friend of the family, .who made her return a ticket to Muncie and attempted to take her home. At the station entrance she broke away and has not been seen since. City Search Fuitle A thorough check by parents and police has established the fact that the girl is not with friends or relatives out of the city. She had only $4 at tire time of her disappearance and when last seen she wore a dark red coat trimmed with brown fur. a black felt hat. black brocaded dress, light hose, black pumps and gray gloves with beaded cuffs. She carried a red patent leather under-arm bag with a small enameled H on the flap. The bag contained a green Schaeffer fountain pen. She also wore a gold Technical ring of unusual design. She is four feet three and one-half inches tall, has dark brown hair and striking violet eyes. Mother Grief-Stricken “I can't stand it if we don't find her soon.” the anxious mother declared today. “I can't bear to think of what may have happened to her —a little girl like Hazeldell gone a week and more, with only $4 in her purse! “She was such a good student, and the money she had was for her new books. We've done our best to give her a good education and nice clothes. I can't help but think that she has studied too hard and has had a nervous breakdown.”

CLIMAX NEAR IN FIGHT FOR POWER PROBE Senate Votes to Take Up Walsh’s Resolution Monday. Ey United Press WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.—The long fight Senator Walsh of Montana has waged for an investigation of the public utilities industry will reach its climax Monday in the Senate. By unanimous consent, the Senate today agreed to take up Monday the Walsh resolution for a probe of the so-called power combine. Chairman Watson of the Interstate Commerce committee which considered the resolution served notice there would be considerable debate and that it was unlikely an early vote would be reached. Amendments attached by the Interstate Commerce committee will not hamper the thorough investigation he proposed to make, Walsh believes. Probe Enormous Lobby “If the Senate authorizes the investigation.” Walsh said. “I shall go into every important phase of the industry's activity. Rates charged for energy, and the question of soundness of securities will be the principal considerations. “The investigating committee will also inquire into the enormous lobby which has fought my resolution. “The presence of this lobby has placed me in an unwelcome position. 1 had hoped the committee might work like a board of directors inquiring into the affairs of a large business but it has become apparent this lobby will present every fact of a favorable nature and I, therefore, must become a prosecutor to sec that a fair perspective is maintained. Huge Monopoly Charged “I hope by a thorough study to determine what legislation, if any, is necessary to regulate this enormous industry with its pyramided securities, interlocking directorates and large scale operations. The investigation will be a constructive enterprise.” Walsh believes the investigat.on will show a public utilities monopoly of large proportions in some communities. If proved. Walsh will seek to have the monopolies broken. NEWBY FUNERAL FRIDAY Funeral services for Herbert A. Newby, 36. of 418 E. Pratt St., who died Saturday in Los Angeles, Cal., will be held at the I-lisey & Titus undertaking establishment Friday at 2 p. m.. instead of today as previously announced. Rapor Commanderv, Knights Templar, will conduct the rites. Burial will be in Washington Park cemetery.

UNUSUAL RADIO PROGRAM IS ON 0, S/28B00KS $320,000 Appropriation Is Given House Approval for Fiscal Year. £in XEA Service WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 —Whether Congress prolongs the life of the Federal Radio Commission or not, the radio section of the United States Department of Commerce is planning an unprecedented year of activity. The appropriation bill, which has passed the House of Representatives, contains $320,000 for the next fiscal year and for current expenditures the radio section is drawing upon a deficiency appropriation of $140,000. The $320,000 appropriation includes funds for employment of about a dozen additional radio inspectors. Aid Useful Investigation While this increased field force cannot eliminate the heterodyne squeals in radio receivers, due to a superabundance of broadcasting stations, they c n make other investigations useful to broadcast listeners. For example, in trailing nonradio interferences, such as disturbances caused by leaking power lines and various faulty electrical equipment, this extra field force can improve radio reception conditions. The radio section of the Department of Commerce likewise plans the use of four additional radio equipped motor trucks for radio superviscTs and their inspectors. Zoning to Be Undertaken I These, duplicating the $4,000 car I of Supervisor S. W. Edwards of De- • troit, will consist of complete trans- | mitting and receiving stations, measuring apparatus, wavemeters, and quartz crystal oscillators. With an increased field force, the : Department of Commerce will un- { dertake a program which has long I had the sanction of Secretary Hoover. It is the zoning of the service areas around broadcasting stations. This means that the radio inspector will make accurate measurements over a considerable period to determine just what broadcast listeners may expect in the way of reliable signals day and night, summer and winter.
