BALLOT SLATE IS PICKED BY JOINT GROUP Non-Partisan Body Names Selections for County and State Berths. OTHERS ARE WORTHY 250,000 Indorsements Are Distributed in City by Members. A slate of Republicans and Democrats indorsed for nominations for county offices in the May 8 primary today was made public by Andrew J. Allen, 1607 Merchants Bank Bldg., clerk of the “Joint Non-Par-tisan Committee.” The committee, which scrutinized the candidates and had printed 250,000 copies of its indorsements, which it began distributing today, is composed of seventy-five Republican and Democratic business men. Identity of the members was kept secret; Allen explaining. “The men on this committee are reluctant for business reasons to have their names published, since they do not desire to be bothered by visits of scores of friends of the candidates not named in the committee’s recommendation^.” Acting Only As Clerk While Allen is secretary of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis and several other organizations he said: “In presenting these non-partisan committee recommendations on half of the Republican and Democratic citizens who made the selection, I am acting only in my capacity as clerk of the said committee, and not officially for or on behalf of any other organizations as such. “My committee wishes me to say that it had been difficult for the members to arrive at a choice of recommendations. There are many worthy candidates other than those named that the committee would like to have included, but to have included all would have nullified the effort. In the slate, which follows, those candidates marked with asterisk (*) also have been indorsed by the Indianapolis City Manager League. Republicans are marked (R) and Democrats (D).

SEEK MATE FOR SMITH Democrats Favor Hull of Tennessee to Run With Governor. WASHINGTON. May 2.—Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee leads the field of contenders for the Democratic vice presidential nomination, according to a canvass of sentiment among a score of Democratic national committeemen attending the meeting of the committee of arrangements here.

For strategical reasons and because of conditions now developing in dry Southern States, especially Texas, Hull is looked upon as the mqst available. The Texas situation is closely tied up with the Hull movement. I. U. ALUMNI TO MEET Annual Gathering Will Be Held at Muncie Thursday.

Olive Falmer By Times Special NEW YORK, May 2.—Seizing opportunity by the forelock and refusing to permit a distance of several hundred miles to interfere with her aspirations, Olive Palmer, in Louisville, Ky., exercised unusual ingenuity in singing over the telephone to a New York impresario to demonstrate her fitness for grand opera. The result was at the conclusion of her telephone solo she promptly was engaged to sing in a revival of twenty operas in the Park Theater, New York. From grand opera it was just a step to radio and from an initial successful performance before the microphone she has progressed to the enviable position of being paid the largest sum of any radio performer engaged regularly in appearing before the mike. She has been signed exclusively for the Palmolive hour.

FORD AND WIFE SAILFOR HOME Lost in Forest While on English Trip. By United Press SOUTHAMPTON, England, May 2.—Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford sailed for home today aboard the liner Majestic, after a comparatively quiet vacation in England. They were registered on the ships passenger list as “Mr. and Mrs Jack Robinson,” the names under which they came to England several weeks ago. The Fords boarded the Majestic secretly last night. They came to Southampton by automobile yesterday and visited Beaulieu, site of a famous abbey. They got affi unlooked for thrill when they were lost in the forest and had to travel forty miles in their machine to reach their destination, twenty miles away. They reached Beaulieu, however, saw the sights, bought some postcards as any tourists would, took tea at the hotel, and returned to Southampton. ‘HOOVER MUST WIN’ Or Democrats Will, Asserts Michigan Governor.

COAL MINE WASTE CHARGED TO UNION

Bv United Press _ WASHINGTON, May 2.—Horace F. Baker, president and chairman of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation, filed with the Senate coal investigators today a statement saying that striking miners were forcing “economic waste” upon the coal industry by compelling operators to employ guards and special police. He said his company had spent $200,000 since the strike began, April 1, 1927, to protect its property and employes against sabotage and violence. Baker admitted miners’ wages are not so high as they should be, but said they are “reasonable,’ ’considering they are paid in a “business which is losing large amounts of money and fighting for its very existence against -adverse marketing, freight and other economic conditions.” * He gave the committee a list of more than 100 reports of alleged

TELLS EGYPT IT MOST ‘BE GOOD’ Otherwise, England Must Spank, Says Secretary. BY CLIFFORD DAY LONDON, May 2.—ln a frank exposition of British foreign policy, Sir Austen Chambenain, foreign secretary, today outlined England's position In Egypt. Announcing in the House of Commons that a second British note had been sent to Cairo government whifch expressed satisfaction that the public assemblies bill had been withdrawn, but warned that refntroduction of the measure would evoke intervention again by England, Chamberlain said: 1. Withdrawal of British troops from Egypt would lead to confusion and “not long delayed war.” 2. The best interests of Great Britain make it impossible for any other country to occupy Egypt. 3. The order dispatching five warships to Egypt—issued when the public assemblies bill controversy was at its height—has been countermanded. 4. England wishes to avoid future controversy with the Cairo government on the measure. START REALTY SURVEY City Board Committee to Study Market Here. President Emerson W.

SCHOOL BOARD ‘BACKDOWN’ ON SEEN Assistant Superintendents May Get Other Berths in City System. AIDED BY TENURE LAW Miller Told to Consult Attorneys Before Final Action. The Indianapolis school board may back down on its recent decision abolishing positions and services of three assistant superintendents, it was learned today, If the board finds the assistants are protected by the teacher tenure law. In executive session late Tuesday, the board instructed Superintendent Charles F. Miller to confer with Attorney Martin M. Hugg on the tenure law phase. If it is found the assistants are protected by the tenure law. it is understood, they probably will be given other positions in the school system. Notified of Ouster The three assistants, all of whom have been connected with the schools here for many years, are Joseph E. Thornton, D. T. Weir and Miss Flora Drake. They were notified last week their services would be at an <yul at the close of tf>present school year. Decision of the board to obtain legal advice on effectiveness of the tenure law in the assistants' case is thought to have been based on plans of the three assistants to file suit to retain their positions. Board members refused to say what places would be offered the three, saying it would be left in the hands of Miller. Although no steps have been taken to reorganize the school executive staff since abolition of the three posts, it is understood the board has been considering two positions, named differently, to carry on the work of the three assistants. Salary Resolutions Adopted Two resolutions affecting teacher salary inceases were adopted at the board’s executive session. One provides that salary increases, at present granted automatically upon completion of additional college or normal school teacher training work, shall be contingent upon merit of service during the previous year. It now tvill be necessary for teachers to obtain approval of their previous year’s work from the school superintendent before they can obtain increases. The other resolution provides that the increases be granted only at the beginning of the next school year, Instead of immediately upon certification of the completion of the training, as at present.

ROBINSON FLAYED Gilliom and Carter Attack Senator Over Radio. Senator Arthur R. Robinson was made the butt of radio attacks by his two opponents for the Republican nomination for Senator, Tuesday night. From Station WSBT at South Bend, Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney general, said, “I have said I am against Klanism in politics and do not want its support. Robinson has that support, knows it, and is silent about Klanism in our politics. When will he name Wizard Evans, Dragon Huffington* Convict Stephenson and repudiate their support?” From Station WFBM here, Solon J. Carter said VThe only issue before the Republicans in this primary is whether or not they will clean house—repudiate the Coffin machine and its protege, Senator Robinson. Indianapolis ajid our State has lost prestige, factories have been lost, we have been disgraced.” 122 DOGS IMPOUNDED Ninety-Six Reported Killed in City Campaign Against Rabies.

Campbell, 70, met instant death when she fell through a trap door to the basement of her home here.

Although the gorilla is a close relative of man, Dr. Yerkes’ studies of Congo are unique and constitute the classic observations of this animal. Congo was slightly over seven years old when she died and she was captured in the Belgian Congo by Benjamin Burbridge who sold her two years ago to Ringling. Dr. Yerkes last studied Congo during the first •week in March when she appeared jin good health and spirits. Colitis 1 was the cause of death, not a broken heart as some of her obituaries intimated.

SLANG—IT KILLS THE SOUL!

‘Stifling, So Lazy Minded, 9 Says French Beauty

BY DAN M. KIDNEY Ze Oui la la of the little French girl Is not comparable to the American phrase, “And how,” recently barred from Times columns by order of the managing editor, petit Mademoiselle Marceline D’Alroy, world’ traveling Parisian and exponent of what Hollywood calls “It,” but what the mademoiselle would prefer to call “charm,” declared in defending her compatriots in an interview Monday at the Claypool. She was here to do her bit in teaching Indianapolis women how to make the most of their endowments. She agreed they have many. “But Oh! Tire danger of American standarization!” she warned with a characteristic but unstandardized shrug. “It is taking American talk. Each year I return to find the country swept by some, what you might call ‘flivver phrases.' “Your slang is delightfully direct when first spoken. Yet it soon becomes a bore. What fun is there is listening to a whole roomful of persons say, “You would”? “No! No! No! It is wrong. It is stifling! It kills the soul! It is being lazy-minded! “The charming woman does not use slang. Unless perhaps she coins a phrase to meet a situation. “Conversation is a fine art. It should contribute to the gayety of nations. “But how can it do that when women of native wit and beauty permit themselves to say, ‘You tell 'em’?” To illustrate her point of the direct and indirect methods of speaking which prevail among Americans and Frenchmen respectively, Mile. D'Airoy used the example of what both might say were an actress to appear in extreme decollete. The American’s remark probably would be obvious, she declared, while a Frenchman would say, “Is there no one in the balcony?” “The American women understand style,” she continued. “But they don’t understand the psychology of style. A woman makes’ a success of wearing a black mushroom hat. Soon every woman wears one. “An oval face and a round hat makes the face look like an egg. It adds angles to the angular. Only when it is worn by the girl with the young round face is it in proper company. “Clothes must be selected for the woman—not women. Even her manners must fit her individually. To be charming she should be a little bit of a vamp, as well as a good wife and mother.” Mile. D’Alroy has been but three weeks from Paris where the famous designer, Paul Poiret, termed her the “Goddess of Style” because of her “interpretingthe rhythmn of fabrics.” Although Mile. D’Alroy rather would seem to live up to the idea that woman’s home is the sphere (being on her second world tour in six months) she doesn’t approve of gin-drinking young girls whose sophistication kills their charm. “A pretty young girl should not depend on a bottle for a kick,” she continued.

SUN MAY BE SPLIT INTO TWO PIECES

By United Press PARIS, May 2.—The sun some day may divide itself into two pieces, Dr. Pules Giacobinl, leading astronomer, said in an interview today regarding the “split star,”

fronted with bananas, sweet potato, and other attractive food which she could get by learning to use a stick or by pulling a rope in a certain way. In these tests she proved slower mentally than the alert and lively chimpanzee, and often she might reasonably have flown into a rage when she failed again and again to master the situation and reach , the prize. But the little gorilla would stick at the task, showing patience and judgment far superior to other types of ape that Dr. Yerkes has studied.

NAME NEORD IN CONGRESS RACE Rivals Protest' Choice of Madden Successor. By United Press CHICAGO, May 2.—The selection of Oscar De Priest, a Negro, to succeed the late Representative Martin B. Madden as the Republican nominee for Congress from the First Illinois district, today aroused considerable conflict in the ranks of Chicago Negro voters. Two prominent Negro leaders challenged the legality ol De Priest's appointment, voted unanimously yesterday in a conference of five ward committeemen. De Priest, a former alderman, has served as a political worker under Mayor William Hale Thompson ever since the mayor’s first term in office here. His selection was understood to have been brought about by the personal endorsement of Mayor Thompson. William L. Dawson, a supporter of the Republican faction headed by United States Senator Charles S. Deneen, protested the committeemen’s action was invalid because they had not received their certificates of election. Assistant Attorney General William Harrison, regarded as a possible choice for the nomination, also protested the selection of De Priest.

Nova Pictoris, now occupying scientists’ attention. Dr. Giacobini added that even now the sun may be in two pieces instead of one solar c’isc. “It has not yet been proved positively that the sun is a single body,” he said. 1 Dr. Giacobini emphasized that if the sun is becoming separated, the process will take thousands of centuries to complete. “Theoretically,” he said, “science does not oppose the idea that a heavenly body may divide into parts. In fact, it generally is admitted that double or multiple stars, with which the heavens are strewn, number more than 20,000. They have resulted from this phenomenal process of gradual division.” It was possible. Dr. Giacobini said, that the star Noca Pictoris, which has been viewed as two entities at Capetown observatory, may have performed the same operation.

LINDY TO TEST TOP-OF-WORLO EUROPE ROUTE Eager to Explore Northern Path Via Greenland and Iceland. STUDIES CHARTS, DATA Formal Notice of Flight Expected From Ford ✓ Offices. BY MAURITZ A. lIALLGREN United Press Staff Correspondent # WASHINGTON, May 2.—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh’s consideration of the far northern route for his contemplated flight to Europe is based upon his desire to explore the possibilities of that route from a scientific viewpoint, the United Press was informed today by friends of the airman here. Lindbergh himself declared he was opposed to cross-water flights over long distances unless such flights added something to the science of aviation. From other sources it was learned that the Lindbergh-Ford flight was being planned to test the availability of the “top of the world” course—via Greenland and Iceland—as a regular route for planes and dirigibles plying between America and Europe. m *. Study Charts Meanwhile Lindbergh, and Maj. Thomas G. Lanphier, who will probably accompany him on his European trip, and Capt. Emory Land of the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics, a cousin of Lindbergh, went over plans for the flight at Land’s home here. The three studied geographical and meteorological charts covering the entire north Atlantic area as well as other information concerning flying conditions in Labrador, Greenland and Iceland, which has ; been gathered for Lindbergn and the Ford company by the Danish government and other agencies. They were understood to have worked out many of the details of j the projected flight during these j conferences. Lindy “Much Interested” | Fuel and other supplies probably | will not be &ent into the frozen ! north until the minutest details as j to the final route and itinerary have ! been worked out. When this has J been done, it was said, a formal an--1 nouncement of the flight may be expected. According to information available here, the formal announcement will be made at the Ford offices in Detroit. Lindbergh, ever cool and mechanical in his calculations, so far has refused to commit himself publicly to the Greenland route, although he did admit to the United Press that “I am very much interested in the feasibility of flying by way of Greenland to Europe, but so far as the flight is concerned, I do. not know yet whether it is feasible or not.” Aviators Differ On Route It long has been contended \in aeronautical circles that the safest and shortest air route to Europe is by way of Labrador and Greenland. Aviators supporting this view believe that adequate and permanent supply bases can be established along thW route. Other authorities have taken the position that the most practicable route would be south of the line flown by Lindbergh, Byrd and Chamberlain last year, and touching the Azores on the way. Lindbergh is believed to be supporting the former view and with this in mind practically has decided upon flying the north Atlantic route. Experts connected with the Ford Company, are said to be of the same mind and therefore are backing Lindbergh in his new venture. * London Office in Dark Bn United From LONDON, May 2.—The spokesman for Henry Foord's Manchester plant is unable to say whether Ford is backing Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh’s proposed continental tour. “I know Lindbergh uses a Ford plane, but I cannot state whether Ford Is backing any proposed flights,” the spokesman said.
