G. 0. P. FIGHTS TO REMOVE ‘OIL’ FROMCAMPAIGN Follows Robinson Move to Shift Blame Onto Democrats. By United Tress WASHINGTON, March 30.—The fight of Republicans to eliminate “oil” as an issue in the presidential campaign will be carried forward until election day, Republican leaders indicate. Republican speakers throughout the country are being furnished with information concerning achievements of the Administration, to use to convince voters that the oil scandal should not be permitted to overshadow economic accomplishments of the party. In addition wide circulation is to be provided for the speeches of Senator Arthur R. Robinson of Indiana, who has charged directly and inferentially that the Democratic oil record is as “greasy” as that of his own party. Democrats are becoming concerned over the situation for fear they may lose what they considered their best issue for the coming campaign. Robinson has picked out the foremost Democratic candidate, Governor A1 Smith of New York, and is planning to keep before the Senate until adjournment the fact that Smith appointed Sinclair a member of the New York State racing commission. In addition, he is trying to show that Senator Walsh of Montana, another Democratic candidate and the instigator of the Teapot Dome scandals, sponsored legislation which encouraged the subsequent Republican Administration to make the Teapot Dome lease. Walsh contends Robinson’s charges are “frivolous.” CONVENTION DELEGATES SPEND $1,945,145 HERE Figures Show Three Months’ Estimate; 91 Meetings Booked.

CALLS INTERIOR CHIEF ‘COWARD’ 7— Work Insulted War Veteran, Caraway Charges. By United Tress WASHINGTON, March 30.—Secretary of Interior Work was called ‘‘a coward” by Senator Caraway (Dem. ‘ Arkansas, on the floor of the Senate today. Caraway said Work had insulted a wounded war veteran, Col. Cark Estes of Tyler, Texas, who had come to him to protest an interior department report against the proposed Ouachita National Park of Texas, Ark. “I’ll waive my senatorial privileges if I have any,” Caraway said. “In order to meet the secretary anywhere if he resents my charge. “He took advantage of his position to sit in his office and insult a mam whose body was covered with war wounds. His attitude was disgraceful and cowardly and he is a coward to have done what he did.” Caraway alleged Work called E: a liar during their interview and protested that the people of Texas and Arkansas were attempting to run his department. Caraway said the interior department’s report on the park was signed by Work, but apparently had not been read by him.

STORMS DELAY SEA HOPSTART Germans Set Saturday for Dash to U. S. B.'i United Tress • ■ BALDONNEL AIRDROME, Dublin, March 30.—A gale buffeted the Baldonnel flying field today and prevented the trim gray monoplane “Bremen”—which its three masters claim -will be taken to “Mitchel Field, L. 1., or Heaven”—from starting on a trans-Atlantic flight. When Baron Von Huenfeld, Captain Hermann Koehl and Arthur Spindler saw there had been no abatement of the high wind and rain, they ordered the flight postponed until Saturday. The monoplane was rolled onto the runway Wednesday night ready for a start to America, and today it remained there covered and lashed by the high wind that swept across the flying field. It will be held at the runway until the weather clears, watch officers at the flying field said, and then the start will be made. The ground on the flying field was soggy and would handicap a takeoff. Also weather reports from over the Atlantic said that flying conditions were not best for an Ire-land-American flight and these two hurried the decision not to make a take-off attempt until Saturday. The three Germans—a baron, a well-known flying captain and a mechanic—meanwhile enjoyed the hospitality of Irish flying officers. They fretted under the delay but the difficulties that have prevented a deparure did not lessen their determination to make an attempt at a westward crossing of the north Atlantic. twoarFconsidered TO SUCCEED GLADDEN Columbia City Woman and French Lick Educators Have Chance.
